>Is she? What do we know about her?
>Youmu Konpaku is a third year at Mayoiga high, like yourself. You often see Youmu and Yuyuko together in school, as the Konpakus have been attached to the Saigyojis for generations. Youmu still seems to consider herself subservient to the Saigyoujis, Yuyuko in particular. Yuyuko, however, once described the relationship between the two families as follows: "They used to be our servants. But we grew out of that, and now we're best friends!" As you recall, she promptly gave Youmu a glomp after saying that. Much to Youmu's embarrassment.
>You would describe Youmu as a very serious individual, very devoted to her duties and her studies. She's very young to be a head miko of a shrine, and a samurai on top of that, as she's known to be, but as near as you can tell, she handles her responsibilities very well. Perhaps too well, as you've often heard Yuyuko talking about some convaluted plan to get Youmu to loosen up a little. Youmu also seems to be a little naive, at times, about the world around her. Like mastering her responsibilities has come at the expense of world-savvy. Despite being a skilled swordsman, a studious student and chief miko of the southern shrine of Mayoiga, she seems rather innocent, at times. The effect is rather endearing, and while you're not especially close, you each consider the other a friend.
>The floating spectral half of her that follows her around denotes her as a 'half-ghost'. No one really seems to know how, exactly, this came about, and Youmu hasn't been forthcoming with any details on what this other half is or what function it serves. It's the subject of much talk and many rumors around your school, as one of the many curiosities and wonders the city of Mayoiga possesses.
