Physical Description

Kaoru is a typical Nekovalkyrja with alabaster skin that tinges a light pinkish blush in her cheeks. She has sky blue hair with frosted metallic pink highlights at the tips that are generally cut short so it just frames her face. Her form is very feminine, with petite youthful features. Much like her mother, Ketsurui-Motoyoshi Katsuko, she is very expressive of her emotions through her body language. In YE 43, Kaoru updated her appearance by changing her hair color to a dark purple color. She frequently changes her personal style, following the latest fashion trends. When outside of the Star Army of Yamatai she frequently wears more provocative attire.

Psychological and Personality

Kaoru tends to be very analytical and is very thorough both on and off duty. She is demanding of others, following the deeply entrenched command philosophies of Ketsurui-Motoyoshi Katsuko. Kaoru's mental process is grounded in her firm belief of the Motoyoshi Clan Traditions and Philosophies. She is a caring and compassionate person who tends to be very protective of those she cares about. When cornered or faced with critique she can become very bombastic, and at times lets her temper get the best of her. She is very social and outgoing and is quick to jump at any opportunity to have fun. Outside of the Star Army of Yamatai, Kaoru has developed an image as a party girl, often appearing at parties and social events connected to her leadership of the YTP Entertainment group, Midnight Infinity.

She finds the propaganda that exists as a result of the Motoyoshi Clan splitting in YE 30 to be disgusting, and tends to be rather abrasive to those who believe it. At times, she can be very unforgiving and can hold a grudge indefinitely without any worries of corrupting her own ethical beliefs. She has been indoctrinated into her clan, and rarely questions the validity of those beliefs. She finds generalized false views of the clan such as claims that all Motoyoshi Clan members betrayed the Yamatai Star Empire to be a ridiculous accusation, as that the majority of the clan and its tributary families remained in the Empire. Many of which have suffered persecution and false accusations as a result.

Motoyoshi Kaoru is very social, she loves an excuse to gather and engage in fun or simple interactions with just about anyone. In terms of romantic relationships, she is polyamourous and promiscuous.
