Doma

Doma's friendly and unassuming facade. Doma is outwardly friendly and cheery, possessing an approachable and charismatic air. Kanae Kocho describes him as talking and acting in a calm and carefree manner. However, in truth, he has psychopathic tendencies and adopts twisted beliefs and habits, such as devouring his cult's followers with the belief he is saving them from their suffering and pain by letting them live inside his body. Because of his carefree and waggish persona, he was prone to facetious and inappropriate behavior. Even amongst his fellow demons, he was disliked by Muzan Kibutsuji and Akaza for his casual and childish behavior, along with his indifference to the strict hierarchy that showed complete and total obedience towards the Demon King, demonstrated by him speaking in the same merry cadence during Muzan's rants. Even Gyokko, a demon with an amicable relationship with Doma due both sharing morbid tendencies, was perturbed when the Upper Rank attempted to accompany him and Hantengu to the Swordsmith Village without Muzan's explicit permission. As for the humans that he had personally wronged or traumatized, Doma continually did not treat their feelings with any respect, such as telling Shinobu Kocho that he was disappointed at being unable to eat Kanae, chiding Kanao Tsuyuri for "rudely" interrupting him while he was absorbing Shinobu, and continuously mocking Kotoha's life in front of her son, Inosuke. This in turn caused Doma to draw in intense amounts of vitriolic hatred towards him. However, it is hinted that Doma's taunts and jeers are deliberately meant to provoke his opponents into blindly attacking him and getting in range of his deadly Blood Demon Art. His aforementioned comment to Kanao was revealed to have been bait that Doma was surprised didn't work, before concluding that Shinobu had warned her of his abilities. Under his carefree and unassuming demeanor that made him appear inane and witless, Doma is a cold and calculating individual with an extremely keen intellect. His high intelligence is the reason for why he looks down on humans, genuinely believing that they are pathetic and pitiful, even crying out of pity for them on several occasions. His condescending attitude towards humans was also showcased when he was decapitated by the combined efforts of Shinobu, Inosuke, and Kanao, feeling insulted to be killed by individuals whom he thought lowly of. thumb|Doma dropping his emotional façade after Kanao insults him.|left Doma is clinically agnosic, being completely unable to experience proper emotions. Doma himself admitted that the concept of emotion was completely foreign to him, even as a human. Aware that this is abnormal, Doma compensated for his empty heart with his own charisma. learning to express his carefree demeanor enough to deceive all but the keenest observers. However, despite his innate apathy, he appeared angry when Kanao insulted his inability to feel real emotions, dropping his kindly façade and outright trying to kill her, implying that he was insecure about his chronic apathy. His apathy is shown even as a child when his mother brutally murdered his father, before she proceeded to kill herself as she was being observed by him; Doma didn't show any sign of grief or shock, but instead complained that their blood made the room stuffy. Doma primarily eats women, as they are known to be more nutritious than men due to their ability to nurture babies. One exception to this was Kotoha, who Doma didn't want to kill and instead wanted to keep by his side until she died of natural causes, though he eventually killed her when she tried to escape. His eagerness to consume women stands in stark contrast to his fellow Upper Rank, Akaza, who consciously refrained from feeding on women despite their higher nutritional value to demons compared to men. thumb|Doma's jovial reaction to Akaza destroying his jaw. During his interactions with Akaza, he showed no negative reactions to him delivering two fatal blows to his head in annoyance. In fact, he considered this to be their form of personal "greeting" between two "best friends". Doma has even implied that he actually enjoys these physical abuses, as seen when he morbidly asked Muzan with excitement on what type of extreme self-harm he should inflict on himself as punishment for his failure, and again expressed delight upon the severe pain he felt at Shinobu's numerous attempts to poison him to death, even cheerfully expressing his delight on the feelings and sensations of the poison destroying his body and how he might actually grow to like it. A young Doma silently pitying his parents for their religious beliefs. Despite leading a religious cult, Doma is a nihilistic atheist who staunchly believed that gods, Buddhas, and the afterlife do not exist. He believed that nothing exists after death and had condescending sympathy for people who "could not accept something so...

Doma is a tall young man of muscular build. He has an extremely pale skin complexion and possesses long, pointed nails that appear to be stained with a pale purple. He possesses long platinum blond hair that he wore parted to his right, the shorter parts around his face seeming to flare out to either side around his head, curving backwards with one lock slanting down to the right of his face to fall between his eyes, while the longer parts were left to drape centrally down his back in a thinning spiral. Due to his appearance, he was seen as a divine being, and as such, he was made into a cult figure. His eyes have been described to be incredibly rare and beautiful, as, in color, they appeared to be made up of an array of rainbow pastel tones, fading into one another as they circle his irises. This unusual appearance even caused people to believe Doma is a blessed being who could communicate with the gods. The kanji for |Jōgen}} is etched across his left eye, and the daiji for |Ni}} or |Roku}} at the time when he first met Gyutaro and Daki on his right, with thick eyelashes and a set of notably thick black eyebrows acting to frame them above. Doma wore a blood-red turtleneck of a design that made it appear that the section between his neck and upper chest is covered by a black substance that looks like it is dripping slightly down his body. This same design is repeated at his wrists and down his hands, as well as on the small, circular red and black "stain" that adorned the top of his head. Below this, he wore a pair of straight, tan-colored [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hakama hakama] pants of a pinstriped design, their cuffs visibly loose, which he secured with a pale green-tinged golden belt (originally colored black, and colored white in the anime), its buckle a bright silver. He also only wears plain black tabi socks on his feet. On occasion, Doma can also be seen sporting a blackish-lavender cloak, which he drapes around his shoulders, two lengths of purple and black cloth with a rectangular pattern also hanging from it around his neck, as well as a black crown which is lined with gold around its frontal plates and has flowing black ribbons dangling from each of its sides that are connected to a red bead. He is also usually seen holding a pair of sharp fans that were made entirely out of shining gold, maroon lotuses with green leaves design engraved across them, and a purple tassel at the base, which acted as his primary weapons. As a human child, Doma looked very similar to his current appearance, only lacking the kanji on his eyes and blood pattern on his hair, which used to be shorter. Doma wore a similar crown and pants, but with a maroon kimono with a grey juban. Doma also had an oversized black haori that had purple cloths on his back. Doma also had a necklace made of many colored beads, with a second set of white beads dangling from under the main necklace. In addition, two golden tassels were on each side of the necklace. In what little is shown of Doma as an adult human, he appeared nearly identical other than his older appearance.

Overall Abilities
Doma fatally wounding the Flower Hashira, Kanae Kocho. As the holder of the second highest ranking position of the Twelve Kizuki, and the third most powerful of his kind to have ever existed, Doma is an exceptionally powerful demon. His combination of combative prowess and his potent cryokinetic Blood Demon Art in battle is powerful enough to overwhelm and defeat the Insect Hashira, Shinobu Kocho, without any difficulty, and he is also noted to have defeated Kanae Kocho, the late Flower Hashira, in the past. Afterwards, Doma could take on both Inosuke Hashibira and Kanao Tsuyuri, whose strength and abilities were on par with the Hashira, simultaneously without much effort either. According to Doma, Akaza, who holds the rank of Upper Three, would have no chance in defeating him in battle, to the point where even he wouldn't dare challenge Doma to a battle, despite the Upper Rank's immense outward hatred toward him. Moreover, Doma was able to surpass Akaza in a shorter period of time, showcasing the immense power gap between the two demons. As further credence to Doma's immense power, he rarely fights seriously and instead adopts a casual and carefree attitude even in life-and-death situations against the most powerful Demon Slayers, only ever becoming serious when his life is in serious danger, such as when the deadly effects of Shinobu's poisons became apparent. Apathy: Doma is diagnosed as clinically apathetic, unable to experience human emotions. Despite this, he maintains a friendly and carefree façade that deceives all but the most astute observers. Kanao is the only person who can see through his façade, thanks to her exceptional eyesight. She believes that Doma impersonates emotions in the hopes that he could eventually acquire the ability to feel them himself, a concept entirely foreign to him. Even in his childhood, Doma exhibited little to no emotion. When his mother killed his father before taking her own life in front of him, he remained unaffected by the traumatising event; his only reaction was annoyance over the blood that was making the room stuffy. This inability to feel emotions has become an advantage for Doma, as this allows him to calmly process, understand and analyze any situation he is faced with without being hampered by emotions, allowing him to easily and quickly come up with any solution for any adversary. Although, after his death, he seemed to have developed feelings for Shinobu Kocho, making it the first time he actually shows true emotion. Doma correctly deducing Kanao's abilities and developing a counter-strategy mid-fight. Keen Intellect: Doma is exceptionally intelligent, which he displayed on multiple occasions. During his battle with Shinobu, Doma was able to quickly analyze and determine that Shinobu's scabbard acted as her portable poison mixer and loader, just by hearing it once. While in a fast-paced back and forth with Kanao, he was able to process and deduce her abilities, surmising that it was her enhanced eyesight that allowed her to parry and dodge his ice attacks and immediately develop a strategy to counter it. In another instance, when he left Kanao and Inosuke to fight his ice clones, he construed that Inosuke had an acute sense of touch just by observing his behavior when near his ice techniques. Throughout his long life, Doma was able to trick and deceive all of his followers, allowing him to kill and eat them virtually without any resistance. He was able to keep this up for over a century with almost complete infallibility. Additionally, unlike most demons who become amnesiac and lose much of their human memories upon transforming, Doma retains them, being able to remember even the most insignificant details from back when he was a human child, which was well over a century ago, as well as accurately reciting specific memories by physically stimulating his brain.
