Nah, a weird dress and a job hitting people with a branch doesn't suit me. 6 (7.6%)

So, Musou Orochi 2 (Warriors Orochi 3) has been revealed, and along with it comes the unveiling of a beautiful young girl holding a bamboo branch. She's Kaguya, the moon princess from the Japanese folk tale "The Tale of the Bamboo Cutter", and supposedly she's going to be leading our heroes from DW and SW back in time for an all-out adventure. For me, she's really growing on me--she looks real sweet and her headpiece is awesome. Her skirt looks a bit weird, but the fact that she wields a bamboo branch as her weapon makes up for that and it certainly qualifies as a unique weapon.
So, what do you guys think about her? What are your own predictions to her role in WO3? And do you agree with me on the fact that she is a cool new character?
Her appearance is posted on the KOEIWarriors home page in a magazine scan. Let's discuss about her. :D

I kid. I kid.

Anyway, the first I ever heard of Kaguya-hime was when I was young and watched Sesame Street special of Big Bird in Japan, and they showed the play.

Honestly if it weren't for that branch I wouldn't even guess that was her, but she looks alright. She looks like something straight out of a Kessen game. As for her role, I wonder if her time traveling aspect will make her that important. Would've thought for such a huge aspect in the game, it would've been another major Japanese figure, but oh well.

When I saw the scan, I thought she was Shizuka Gozen... I've never heard of her but she still seems to be an interesting character. She is beautiful and has a very unique weapon.

In contrast to Xalfrea, I first found out about Kaguya when I was milling about on Wikipedia. :D
Also, in "The Tale of the Bamboo Cutter", it is mentioned that Kaguya sent four princes who wished to marry her on four impossible quests to obtain four treasures from around the world. These treasures were also included in WO2 as weapon upgrading ingredients. They were the Fire Rat's Skin, Buddha Bowl, Jeweled Branch and Swallow's Shell, I think...anyone notice?

I'm a little disappointed she has "normal" black hair as opposed to the strange coloured hair she was supposed to have in the legend. Like Xalfrea said, I wouldn't have guessed it was her if it hadn't been for the branch (and her name).

I think her dress is interesting, a play on the robes from that era, but yeah.

The good thing about Orochi games is that when they add characters they actually tend to look asian as should be the case when we are talking about the more mystical characters of folklore.

She looks good from that one picture ive seen and delighted in a somewhat very unique weapon because weve seen how keeping the characters with weapons which have ties with the actual character themselves such as the fishing rod for example can still work and be fun whilst relavent. Cant wait to see more of her

She looks very nice!

I think she may get quite a few area clearing attacks like maybe causing tree roots come out or something.

Lol, isn't it a bit early to start discussion on this character?

Oh well, I'll jump in with my early thoughts. She's not a character that attracts me, look-wise. We haven't seen her moveset or her personality yet so of course I'll be reserving judgment.

It's not too early to be discussing her now. Many character threads like this start right after the character was revealed!

She's very beautiful and the weapon choice will be interesting... I'm not familiar with the tale about her, but I'm looking forward to seeing more about her and playing with her.

I'm surprised it took this long to get a Japanese girl with the "nobility" style make-up with the white skin, drawn eyebrows, etc + a layered kimono, If only just the top half.

I like her "biography" and the weapon choice, im intrigued.

But, her looks dont appeal to me though.

This character is mainly a "meh" for me at the moment. My biggest turn off is the puff skirt, which to me, just doesnt seem to fit.

I really like her apperance, the bottom part of it threw me off at first but I guess they needed something more mystic like. Magical weapons are always a plus for me so I'm looking forward to seeing her moveset.

I personally like her hair a lot. She seems to be in the traditional style of Japan, which is very nice. She also makes me think of a porcelain doll with her pale face and makeup.

Oh, and here is her description and her personality;

A resident of the mystic realm, Kaguya magically descends to the dimensional world to offer respite to the tired warriors. She allegedly holds the answers to eradicating the seemingly endless serpent army. Once this task is completed, she will use her magical sakaki to
send the warriors back to their respective time.


Kaguya is a maiden who acts faithfully to ancient Japanese customs, adopting the archaic dialect and grace expected from a princess of her time.

I don't know much about her, but I really like her appearance especially her hair and the bottom part of her outfit.

I'm looking forward to her moveset, hopefully it's good xD

Ugly??? My, I don't think so. She's beautiful!
The second PV's out and we can see her moveset. Looks like some of us were right--it does involve making bamboo grow out of the ground. Other than that, I love her energy-firing mirrors and how they seem to reflect the surroundings in them!
Also, that glowy thing she was doing with Ma Chao. Was that how she was sending him back in time??

She is sweet and beautiful. Her smile reminds me of Cai Wenji.
I like how KOEI created her, a not-HOT woman (HOT women are women with minimum dresses like Da Ji or DW6 Diao Chan or SW1 Kunoichi), but pretty and nice.

It's just hillarious how Ma Chao pointed her with his spear once she got down from that damn light. Ma Chao has really no interest in girls, I guess. :XD

Scared to death? No! I honestly think he's doing the whole "Who are you and are you an enemy" deal.
In the second PV, she appears in the camp scene, so I suppose she joins the survivors to aid them in their quest to change the past. Can't wait to play as her and kill everybody with plants and mirrors! :lol:

She looks like the most perfect little girl, and she seems awfully important in WO3, i'd love to have her powers, would be so neat ^_^ , I also think that her outfit looks ace. Is both elegant and suits her job role in the game.
