Mujika (ムジカ) is a demon traveling in the forest outside the Grace Field House. Together with Sonju, she belongs to a religion known as Heathens, which are shunned by other demons for their behavior of restraining themselves from consuming human flesh. Mujika saved Emma and the other orphans from Grace Field House from the pursuing demons and informed the former about many threats from her own society.

History[]

Mujika was born 700 years ago. She is a demon who has never eaten a human. She first appeared as a savior in a starving town. She could give her powers to others with only her blood. The surrounding communities drank her blood and that demons don't need to eat humans and they maintain the powers of Mujika, But the king and the nobles who found out and they captured and killed them, because they feared her powers. Mujika and Sonju survived so they are travelling to avoid being captured.^[1]

Appearance[]

Mujika is a beautiful ,human-looking demon and can pass for a human with a cloak on. She has a pale complexion and long, purple hair in braided pigtails, that covers parts of her horns wears a long, floor length, layered, white dress with a cropped blue cloak over top with a bow and a hood. She also wears a white mask that covers her upper part of her face and two small horns and has purple eyes.

Personality[]

Mujika deceived the children through an accommodating and kind attitude. She initially wanted to capture them and return them back to Grace Field – a selfish way for her and Sonju to be granted with an "easy life" for half a year. Nevertheless, she agreed with Sonju to rescue the escapees instead and kept both hers and his real, personal intentions of saving them.

According to Sonju, Mujika tends to be easily attached to others. This is shown when she started to actually care towards Emma and the escapees, often warning the former about dangers. Therefore, these actions showed how there are still some positive traits within her.

Due to being the only one surviving out of her friends and family due to being "different" from every other demon, Mujika began questioning her purpose in life and why she was alive. She couldn't make up her mind if she was glad she was born or not. After meeting Emma, Mujika thought that she was born to break the separation between humans and demons.

Mujika is so glad to meet Emma and the children and Emma is glad to, After Emma and the orphans departed, Sonju told Mujika on how he had hopes on Emma and her friends in bringing an end to The Promise, as he expressed his desire in breaking free from the restraint of eating humans due to his and Mujika's religious views as Heathens. Mujika did not respond, as she stared emotionlessly at her friend.^[4]

King of Paradise Arc[]

Mujika and Sonju came and Mujika says almost all the demons in the village are back to normal and they will just only give their blood to one another. Mujika saw the two young demons and gives the glass filled with blood to the two young demons and they came back to the temple. Mujika and Sonju arrive and Sonju says that the town is okay, but Mujika says if the farms find out about it they will come after the village. Vylk says it is okay and introduces himself to Mujika.

Ratri still believes he is safe and already won due to backup coming, however the backup was dispatched by civilians of the demon town along with Mujika, Sonju and Vylk, in an uprising against the farms. Vylk breaks into the elevator chamber and he said to Ratri that he is thankful because they already have the power of the evil blood so they don't need to eat the children anymore. Horrified at seeing Mujika with him, Ratri breaks down, unable to accept it.^[8] Mujika helped Emma and her family to change the world of demons.

Imperial Capital Battle Arc[]

Skills and Abilities[]

Evil Blood[]

Mujika is a special demon who retains the characteristics and sapience of humans without requiring to consume them. Other demons who ingest a drop of her blood gain the same abilities and are also able to spread this unique body composition to other demons.

Leadership[]

As the queen of demons, She was able to rule the demons that were no longer under the leadership of the farms and its former kings and queens. He can show what former kings and queens failed to do in the demon world. Mujika is definitely a good and loving queen.

Relationships[]

Sonju[]

Sonju and Mujika are of the same religion of exercising the restraint of eating humans and Sonju considers Mujika to be a close ally. Despite the two having a close relationship, both of their intentions occasionally clash, such as when Mujika is seemingly defiant of Sonju's desire to resume his practice of eating humans.

Emma[]

Out of all the orphans, Emma was the closest to Mujika, as Mujika wishes to be her friend and treated Emma like a daughter. Mujika eventually grew more affectionate and accommodating, as she was willing to listen to Emma's stories and relate to Emma's pain of losing Norman.^{[citationneeded]}

In the end, Mujika slowly grows genuine care and concern for the orphans, as pointed out by Sonju that she has been getting attached to them.^[9] Mujika also grew to be trustful to Emma, as she believed how she is able to search for The Seven Walls and passed her an eye-shaped locket as a "lucky charm".

When Emma learned about Mujika and that Norman still wants to kill her and Sonju, Emma told Norman that she didn't want Mujika and Sonju to be killed because they are good demons.

Vylk[]

Grace Field Escapees[]

When the news of the escape of the Grace Field orphans spread to her. Mujika initially suggested capturing them and bringing them back to Grace Field, but later agreed with Sonju to protect and rescue the orphans from getting hunted by the demons from the farms instead.^[10]

Mujika aided them and provided hospitality, and when she was around them, put on a motherly and loving persona to conceal her actual intention of capturing them; stemming from how she followed Sonju's then-hidden intention of considering them a way to break The Promise that was created, and eventually, a way for him (and Mujika) to break free of his restraint from consuming human flesh. However, she formed an attachment to the Escapees (Particularly Emma).^[2]
