Kakyu Tayochu /kakju tajo̞t͡ɕu/

"the embodiment of good sense and pragmatism"

Kakyu was, originally, believed to be a "mask" that Charra wore while playing the character of Moko's Esteem. It was not longer after Terezi pointed out that Moko and Kakyu are probably fictives, however, that the pair fully actualized.

Kakyu is the part of Charra that is driven to protect the system itself. She makes sure Moko doesn't push herself or the body too hard, and makes sure everyone else takes care of themself and the body as best they can. This draws heavily from the Final Fantasy XIV level 70 Dark Knight quest, "Our Compromise."

Kakyu, as Moko's in-source headmate, typically fronts when she does. The two are also a romantic pair; Kakyu's heart, as a Dark Knight, is so full of love. When Kakyu is talking, she fidgets with the phantom sensation of her weapon, a Titanium Greatsword she calls Claw. When she talks, she's warm and smooth; she easily offers comfort.

Since Kakyu is an introject of a character that alphy role-played and wrote fiction of beforehand, various headcanons are regarded as fact and exomemories to her. For instance, the level 80 Dark Knight ability Living Shadow did summon her, not a simulacrum, to fight by Moko's side. This lasted until after the events of Endwalker which found Moko and Kakyu with their own solid physical forms, though still sharing one mind and soul.
