Nezuko Kamado

Nezuko Kamado is the main character in the anime series, Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba by Koyoharu Gotôge.

Nezuko is the younger sister of Tanjiro Kamado, a young man who finds his entire family murdered.

Nezuko is one of the last remaining members of the Kamado family. Formerly human, she was turned into a demon by Muzan Kibutsuji.

Nezuko is a young girl with fair skin, visibly large and prominent fangs and pointed nails with a pale pink and shaded base color passing to a pink-pink color at the end where they point. According to Tanjiro Kamado, Nezuko was known as a great beauty in their hometown.

Her hair is long, black and wavy. They reach just below its waist, taking on a flame orange color when passing its elbows, and appear to be set in large straight ridges, carried sideways radically to its left.

Nezuko grew up on a mountain alongside her older brother, Tanjiro, and the rest of her siblings and mother, as the eldest daughter of the Kamado family.

She presumably cares and is a kind girl, as she becomes her younger sibling as her mother’s assistant, as was briefly seen before her family died.

Unlike Tanjiro, who was in charge of selling firewood in the city, Nezuko usually helped with the family home.

Facts

The fact that his last name translates to the word for a wood-burning oven is probably a reference to his family’s occupation before their deaths.
The reason Nezuko’s hair is not tied now that she is a demon is that Tanjiro is not very good at doing it for her and Nezuko also can’t do it herself now.
Nezuko also wears a small pink ribbon on the left side of his head to keep his hair out of his face, as well as the bamboo muzzle that Giyu Tomioka gave him, which keeps Nezuko from biting anybody (including herself) island also keeps her mouth closed at all times.
As a demon, however, Nezuko seems to have forgotten much of her memories as a human, in addition to those related to her family, and therefore does not retain the exact personality she had before the transformation.
Nezuko also retains some of her human emotions, as she has been seen crying when she is sad and smiling when she is happy.
On the rare occasions when Nezuko tries to speak, she has been seen stuttering a lot, which may be due to her bamboo mouthpiece, which is rarely removed, and the fact that she did not speak for several years after her transformation.
The Tanjiro family was poor, unlike Tanjiro, who was in charge of selling firewood in the city, Nezuko usually helped with the family home.
Nezuko then sleeps for two years as Tanjiro moves on to training, without even waking up when he leaves for the Final Selection. Sakonji takes care of her during this time until she finally wakes up.
Nezuko accompanies Tanjiro on her first mission, where she comes out of her box to fight one of the swamps demon’s doubles.
Nezuko almost disintegrated under the sunlight, but she suddenly becomes a Sun-immune Demon, which Muzan had tried so hard to discover.
After she becomes a demon her eye color was turning pink matching her kimono color.
Her bamboo is not only used as a muzzle but it keeps her from biting herself or others. With the muzzle, she never has a chance to taste human blood.
Her breathing technique, Fire Breathing technique, will become pink whenever she uses it.

Strengths

Manipulation of his waist: After being transformed into a demon, Nezuko was able to quickly change the size of his body. She is able to take the size of a small child in order to fit into a small box or basket to hide from the sun when traveling with Tanjiro, and can also grow up to fight against demons.
Restoration of power: An important trait of Nezuko as a demon is the ability to constantly restore his powers, without having to eat humans, which is the norm for most demons. Instead, she regains her strength through sleep, often spending a lot of time in her box.
Power Growth: Nezuko is able to get stronger and stronger without training or devouring humans. This ability is observed even in the middle of a battle and with significant increases.
Improved Strength: Without even being trained, Nezuko’s natural physical strength allows her to easily fight against demons, however, due to the fact that she is not trained, she relies on simple blows towards her enemies or overwhelms them with brute force instead.
Improved regeneration: Nezuko has incredible regeneration that allows it to restore its limbs in seconds. The true nature of this ability is the solidification of her blood from the cut parts of her body that she can manipulate as she wishes.
Transformation into a demon: When Nezuko is in a critical situation, she can turn into an “out of control” state, which appears as red and green leaves circulating on her body, her veins sticking out and a horn sticking out on the right side of her forehead. This form increases Nezuko’s ability to fight, at the cost of becoming more demonic, including the need to feed on human blood.
Sun Resistance: During the battle against the Fourth Moon, Hantengu, Nezuko develops immunity to the sun, now being able to go out completely during the day without being burned to ashes, like other demons.
Inflamed Blood: Nezuko can set fire to his blood, turning it into flames. She is able to control her flames in a mortal state or not according to her will, using her blood to heal the wounds of others if needed.

Weakness

Nezuko spends almost all the time sleeping to recover his strength after using his bloodthirsty power
