Countess Esha
The truth is so boring, darling. A lie, however... a lie has legs. It dances. It destroys.
Summary Countess Esha is the Goku-Tei who reigns over Kyoukan Jigoku (The Hell of Spiteful Tongues). She is the embodiment of verbal cruelty, slander, and social destruction. Unlike the brutish warlords of other Hells, she views herself as an artist, and her medium is the reputation and sanity of her victims. She rules from the "House of Lies," a palace where the walls constantly whisper the secrets of everyone inside.
