ITS BEEN A LONG TIME COMING, EH?
I present to you: the fourth of Gunmar’s Nine Hellish Wives, Kuchisake, who represents Lust!
Centuries ago, Kuchisake was once Gunmar’s most treasured wife until the Skullcrusher caught wind of her promiscuous ways. In his blind rage, Gunmar disfigured Kuchisake, causing her to lose an eye. Now shunned and scarred by her beloved, Kuchisake relies on her severed eye—the “Eye of the Beholder”—to live the life she once had. Whomever possesses her Eye is put under her spell and can be manipulated as she pleases. As long as her Eye is in your possession, Kuchisake appears as the flawlessly gorgeous self she once was.Â
Her beauty is in The Eye of the Beholder, after all!
(her name comes from the Japanese folktale, “Kuchisake-onna” or “The Slit-Mouthed Woman” about a disfigured spirit who asks; “Am I Pretty?”)
