Profile:

The unfathomable great youkai Tamamo no Mae,

possessing incomparable beauty and formidable demonic power.

Has a deep friendship with Kuzunoha who is also a fox demon,

they seemed to have made some kind of agreement.

Although frequently appearing in the form of a elaborately dressed woman,

the true appearance is not actually so.

It was fate that robbed him of his family, and now he sees fate pushing both humans and spirits towards the abyss.

Tamamonomae caught a glimpse of his fate during a conversation with a deity.

Undaunted by the hardships that awaited him, he decided to head to the most cruel Realm of Trial, determined to change that tragic ending. The nine-tailed Tamamonomae passed through unbearable ordeals, retrieved the souls of his family, and returned to the mortal world with a whole new form.

I looked for them everywhere, but I never expected to find them here in this place. Not accepted by fate, and turned down by the Underworld after passing away, they became outcast souls wandering beyond the reach of karma.

"It's fine now. Daddy's here to take you home."

After passing countless trials to get there, I reached for them and wrapped them gently in my foxfire. I accepted everything – their thoughts, their souls, and all their suffering. No divinity or demon can stop me, no one dares approach me. Now that we're one, we won't part again, ever.

I returned to the Plateau of Encounter again, the place I knew so well. The mirror I had brought back with me seemed as ordinary as can be. I took a seat in my usual spot and released the demon force of the White-faced Golden Nine-tailed Fox to shroud the plateau. The small spirits there gained the power they hoped for. In this age, the fates of spirits and humans are intertwined. I'm curious if anyone is able to untangle themselves from this great web. Think of Shuten Doji of Mt. Oe, who fought until the very end, drinking wine as waves of enemies came at him. And think of Otakemaru of Mt. Suzuka, who rode on the waves, conquering wherever he went with his wits and his armies. But what will happened to Tamamonomae of the Plateau of Encounter? Hehe. When it comes to the grand finale, the truth is clouded by falsehood. In this chaotic time, the one I will protect is in lively Heian-Kyo.

I went to see your boy Seimei that day. He said he's of no use, said he had lost his power. Kuzunoha, he's a silly boy who likes to act tough. Though he's totally opposite to the other Seimei, he's quite like you. But doesn't being a parent mean we need to protect our silly little boy as he grows up? Naturally, I will see Seimei, either side of him, as my child while you're away. But please forgive me for being tough on him. I, Tamamonomae, promise you that I won't let that tragic future come true.

Story

According to the gekota, Tamamo no Mae is planning to awaken Yamata no Orochi before the humans to use his power to attack Heian-kyo

Trivia

Tamamo no Mae is male

Tamamo wants to see the gekota forms of the daiyokai that came after him

Tamamo has never visited Seimei's courtyard before

He is good friends with Kuzunoha

He is described as an alone weirdo, who takes drastic actions but also reclusive; who disguises himself but also values sincerity. Strange in some areas but firm in his reasons, although he doesn't attempt to be understood by others. Basically, a very mysterious and cool person.
