White Kimono is the benevolent side of Kirie Himuro's spirit. She acts as a guide for Miku Hinasaki, providing her with clues which help her to break the mansion's curse.
When Kirie was about 7 years old, she was chosen to become the next Rope Shrine Maiden by means of a game of Demon Tag. Kirie was the last girl to be caught and so was taken into seclusion and raised to be the Rope Shrine Maiden.
Due to her conflicting emotions in adulthood, Kirie's ritual failed, causing the Malice to escape from the Hell Gate and possess her. It was then that Kirie's older and younger self split in two.
The younger spirit of Kirie was pure and free of Malice, and sought to fulfill her duty as the Rope Shrine Maiden. It was she whom originally gave the Camera Obscura to Mikoto Munakata, and she can be seen alongside Mikoto and her friends in photos taken with the camera. She later led Mikoto away from the manor, thus saving her from Long Arms and the other malicious spirits.
She also appeared to Tomoe Hirasaka asking for help, when the Novelist's group arrived at the mansion, and attempted to lead Tomoe towards things likely to save her from the curse. When Miku enters the mansion, Little Kirie again asks for help to break the curse. With her help, Miku is able to put the pieces of the Holy Mirror back together and purify Kirie's spirit. Little Kirie reminds her older self not to forget her duty, and the two merge, again becoming whole and sealing the gate.
Misc. Info
- White Kimono's pointing is eerily similar to the pointing man found within the Ringu series, which Makoto Shibata has stated as being influential in designing Fatal Frame.
