Hisame was one of the four Handmaidens to serve in the Kuze Shrine and the last one to be chosen. Hisame's original surname was not Kuze; however, when she went into service at the shrine, she was given the adoptive surname of Kuze.
Past
Along with the other Handmaidens, she had the duty of "pacifying" the Priestess' sleep during the Impalement Ritual. The Handmaidens carried out the duty of singing the "Sleeping Priestess Song" and impaling the priestess in the Chamber of Thorns. She was the most dutiful of the four. It was she who Yashuu entrusted with leading the order to kill Amane, by impaling her at the bottom of the Abyss.
Just like all the other Handmaidens, Hisame wears a priestess attire of white and red. As a ghost she carries a stake and a mallet, which she used for her duty as a Handmaiden. She has waist-length hair.
Hisame's Final Duty
After the Unleashing, the Rift began to engulf the Manor, and continued to spread in spite of attempts to contain it. The Kuze Family mistress instructed Hisame to impale the remaining Handmaidens in the Enclosed Room. Hisame was the last to die at the manor after the Unleashing. She wrote in her diary that she would go to sleep "forever and ever". Her spirit continued to impale dolls on the wall.
