Koh

"You've never heard of me? Come now, don't be so ridiculous. Of course you have: I am Koh, empress of Saiyans. I have no equal."

- Koh, Saiyan Empress

Koh (コ, Ko) is the empress of her universe and ruler of the so-called Saiyan Empire. Formerly an elite Saiyan soldier in Gellid's Army, Koh commanded the Elite Vanguard, a small squad consisting of powerful Saiyan warriors. Instigating the Saiyan Rebellion, Koh lead her race to overthrow their former masters, the Frost Demons. With emperor Gellid's death at her hands, she usurped his throne, and lead a genocide that all but decimated the Frost Demon's numbers.

Known across her universe as a powerful but callous and cold-blooded tyrant, Koh inspired reverence and fear alike.

Appearance
Koh is a tall and light skinned woman, standing at an above-average height of 177.80cm (5’ 10”). Her hair is black in color, worn in a long fashion, and is full and wavy compared to the straight or spiky hair her species tends to demonstrate. Unlike other Saiyans, her eyes are golden in color, with full lashes and a lidded, bored look to them. She has sharp, defined facial features. She is fond of wearing red lipstick and has a small mole on her left cheek.

Koh’s build is rather plump, being noticeably more bulky and chubby than the average Saiyan. Her frame is full and rounded, with large breasts and wide hips. This grants her a friendly, motherly appearance that contrasts to the typical musclebound stature of the Saiyan race. In spite of her bulk, Koh is nevertheless still very strong and capable of moving at the same speed as her Saiyan peers. When going into the Super Saiyan state, her form becomes slightly more slender and muscular.

Typically, Koh wears regal and lavish attire, namely dresses or other similar articles of clothing. In battle, she dons a custom suit of Saiyan battle armor: her armor is red and white in color, with a dark crimson bodysuit underneath, a cape that is blue on the outside and red on the inside, and white gloves and boots. A circlet is worn around her head and she wears a pair of earrings.

When she was a younger woman, Koh was much slimmer than her current state. Additionally, she had a brown-furred tail until it was lost in a battle. She wore battle armor that was black, white, and purple in color, as well as a visor-like scouter that covered both eyes.

Koh’s ki and aura manifested as purple.

Personality
Koh’s most defining characteristic is her arrogance. Proud and haughty, she tends to speak with a dignified and civilized manner, albeit a condescending one. Her status as nobility, a Saiyan elite, and her ascension to galactic empress has given her a large amount of confidence in herself and her capabilities, as well as an air of superiority over everyone else.

While she prides strength and power like her Saiyan brethren, Koh also prides intelligence and shrewdness. She is intelligent, analytical, and manipulative – her preferred tactics are to turn her enemies against each other or force them to weaken themselves. In battle, she varies between outright brutality – executing enemies with impunity – or toying with her foes in a manner like a cat, slowly whittling them down before ending them. She is quite ruthless, sparing no sympathy towards those she’s committed to destroying, and pulls no punches. Similarly, she’s also sadistic, taking great joy in humiliating and inflicting pain upon others. Her battle style is cautious and wily, using her wit to stay steps ahead of her foes. While she generally has a cool head, she is prone to underestimating her foes at times and can be goaded when her followers or family are threatened.

Koh is a passionate woman, with firm beliefs and goals. She believes what she’s doing and what she’s done is right and morally justified. In her own way, she cares for all of the subjects and people in her empire, seeking to provide strong leadership to protect them. While she’s accepting and open to alien species joining her empire, and sees worth and strength in other species, she nevertheless believes that the Saiyan race are the “chosen people”; the strongest, the smartest, the most beautiful. She utterly despises the Frost Demons, having seen her people reduced to slavery and savagery at their hands: her hatred towards them is so intense that she declared each and every member of that race an enemy of state and instituted a mass genocide as revenge for their treatment and defilement of her people.

While sociable and friendly, Koh comes across as domineering, flippant, and facetious. She surrounds herself with luxury, leading a hedonistic and carefree lifestyle. She dotes on her family and friends, especially spoiling her daughter, and is especially fiercely protective of them. She is prone to grandiose speeches and gloating and thoroughly enjoys to mock and demean those she doesn’t like.
