Name:
ENZERU GEKKANI -Ninmenjushin-
Gateway Galaxy (Main) - Super Mario Galaxy
Age: ???
Gender: Female
Specie: Werewolf Yokai
Physical Description: A female human with the head, feet, and tail of a white wolf. Pink energy veins run across her body. Pink crystal wings resembling a heart shape float behind her back. She wears a yellow top (with cyan lining), a cyan skirt, pink undergarments, flared yellow leg-sleeves, and a red scarf adorned with a large silver bell. She's...ahem, well-endowed.
Personality: First and foremost, a nurterer. She cared deeply for her son, and hoped to prepare him for whatever life may throw his way - and not just Akuma matters. That caring attitude did lead to her demise at her evil counterpart's claws.
History: A mysterious Yokai who assumed a human form to marry Seijin Gekkani, current keeper of the shrine of the Gods of Fortune. They had a child, Zenmei Gekkani, whom Enzeru could tell would accomplish great things. When Zenmei was around 7 years old, he often tailed after his mother at night, when she was reading the signs of the Akumas' return. A year after, her nemesis, a deity of hate, arrived, and she gave her life to save Zenmei from him. Before she passed away, though, she managed to seal off and weaken her enemy. Her death still haunts Zenmei to this day...
Equipment: N/A
Abilities: She's proficient with chakra of the Ice, Water, Earth, Wind, Flower, Moon, Shadow, and Light elements, most of them invoked from her own emotions. Like Zenmei, she too can crystallize her flesh for various attacks and defenses.
Other: It wasn't known if Enzeru was vulnerable to cold-iron like most Yokai are. There was no doubting, though, that she possessed great power...

Trivia
- The word "enzeru" is literally Japanese for "angel".
- The sunflower pinned in her hair symbolizes happiness, the fish pendant on her wristlet symbolizes fertility, and the feather in her hair is from a peacock, a symbol of beauty. These are traits of Kichijoten, a fortune goddess.
- Her large bosom is reference to motherly love.
- Red scarves, like the one Enzeru wears, are often associated with protection, like from disease and demons.
- Being Zenmei's mother, it makes sense that some of their chakra are similar. He may have even gotten his crystallization powers from her.
- In Japanese lore, wolves were patrons of the winter harvest cycle, just as foxes are of the spring harvest cycle. This is why Enzeru is given use of Ice and Flower chakra.
- The attack "Final Nebula" is drawn from the Japanese word "seiun", which can mean either "nebula" OR "prosperity/fortune".
