Ena Seishuuin (青洲院 恵那, Seishūin Ena) is one of the main female characters of Campione. She is a "premier Hime-Miko."
Appearance
Ena is a beautiful young woman with long black hair in hime cut and red eyes, whom Godou Kusanagi has described as having the body of a 'goddess'. She is stated to have a large bosom and is the only one in Godou's group to rival Erica Blandelli in cup size.
Personality
Ena has a very strange personality in that she seems relaxed about things of the modern world, but still has a slight naivete about her. She is the type of person who acts on impulse and instinct, rather than her brains. Like Erica Blandelli, Ena can be very forward in her love towards Godou Kusanagi as she doesn't mind if he sees her naked and even offers her body in her service. However, unlike Erica, Ena is rather shy in certain subjects of love. Ena mentions that she does not mind kissing, but other things that the couple does tend to make her blush heavily, and have trouble with. Ena got very embarrassed when she revealed that she stripped Godou so that he could heal at the Hot Spring, but it is also stated how attractive he was. Ena can also be very compassionate and open towards Yuri, her childhood friend, as she feels most comfortable doing things with Godou if she is there to experience it with her. Out of all the girls, Ena is most likely willing to hurt or kill someone, as she was, going to kill Erica to be the only choice for Godou to pick as a "foreign wife" at first. However, Ena is not heartless as she feels sorry after Volume 5 and tries to make it up to Godou and the rest. Ena usually refers to herself in third person.
History
Little is known about Ena's past, just that she was a childhood friend of Yuri Mariya, and the two were close enough that Ena could come and go through their house as if she lived there. Also, she is the Hime-Miko who serves the god Susanoo, whom she communicates with through magic, usually by way of an uncharged cell phone, while he is within the Netherworld. The relationship is close enough that she calls him "Grampsy" and gets away with it, even though he finds it a bit irritating.
She was sent to Godou Kusanagi as either an alternate or backup to Yuri in her relationship with Godou by the History Compilation Committee.
Plot
Light Novel (Spoiler)
Volume 5:
- Ena Seishuuin first appeared in Volume 5, under the orders of the Elders, former Heretic Gods, and other supernatural beings. Ena was supposed to form a relationship with Godou Kusanagi. However, she took it upon herself to get rid of the “foreign women” around Godou by force, even against the protests of the History Compilation Committee. Due to the interference of Erica and the others, Ena was forced to lure Godou into the Netherworld to meet the Elders. Ena was then attacked by Erica, who was overwhelmed by Ena, once she started wielding the power of Ame no Murakumo no Tsurugi. The battle was put on hold by the intervention of Godou and Ena escaped back to the living world.
- After the three returned to the living world, it was revealed that Ame no Murakumo no Tsurugi (also known as Grasscutter) had taken possession of Ena. Once separated, Grasscutter transformed into a giant warrior, and Godou attacked it with the power of his Authority of the Boar. At the end of the Volume, it was decided that with its defeat, Godou was now the master of Grasscutter, even though he put it to the side to supposedly avoid legal problems with ownership of a sword. Also, due to the incident with Ame no Murakumo no Tsurugi, Ena was forced to temporarily return home to be re-educated. Of course, not without stating she wanted to be one of Godou's women, shocking and causing displeasure to the other girls when they heard that.
Volume 6:
- Ena Seishuuin made a short appearance in Volume 6 after escaping her house arrest to meet Sayanomiya Kaoru, where Godou Kusanagi and his companions are, to negotiate her release. Of course, Kaoru did not agree to it, however, while they were talking the area where Godou and his companions went to just exploded, and they became alerted when they sensed a strong magical force coming from there. Kaoru phoned Amakasu and ordered him to investigate what was going on, while he was doing that Kaoru ordered Ena to be on standby until they knew what was going on.
Volume 7:
- Ena was ordered by Kaoru to aid Godou in the situation they found themselves in. Ena comments that if it's a matter of power, she cannot lose against normal mortals.
- Ena showed up in the nick of time to help the escaping Godou, Anne Charlton, Yuri, Erica, and Liliana, using her ability to channel Susanoo's Authority over wind and weather. She informs Anne that she is romantically interested in Godou, and Erica and the others are his lovers. After Godou collapsed, they moved him into an open-air hot spring to recover, where the four young ladies ended up stripping for Godou, much to his embarrassment as he ran away facing such a scene.
- Later on in Volume 7, Ena who was injured by the Monkey King's attack was being kissed by Godou because he was using the Youth to give her divine protection making her want to be with him even craving to kiss him more he was kissing the other girls.
- While under the protection of the Youth Authority, Ena cast a spell to fully harness the divine power used to protect her, causing her clothing to become a traditional Hime-Miko uniform. Seeing Ena was still having difficulties, Godou loaned Ena Ame no Murakumo no Tsurugi, which combined with the Youth's protection, allowing Ena to wield double the power she normally could harness from Susanoo. Even so, she was eventually overwhelmed. However, the recently freed Hikari was able to heal her enough to be able to escape while all attention was on the battle between the Campione and the Heretic Gods.
- When the battles with the Heretic Gods were over and the girls regrouped with Godou, they were surprised to find out that Godou somehow ended up being a sworn brother to Luo Hao. Ena was rather in awe than shocked, and she called Godou cool and amazing for being able to do that. However, when Hikari showed a romantic interest in the unbeknownst Godou, Ena was actually shocked knowing that information in that situation. When Erica went over and pinched Godou, stating that he at least deserved to be punished, the other girls, plus Amakasu, with the exemption of Hikari nodded in agreement.
Volume 8:
In Volume 8, there are short stories, flashbacks, and slice of life events in different chapters.
- Chapter 5 - Omake: (Present day, current timeline of Campione!) In this Volume 8 Chapter, Ena and Erica rescue Godou from another frantic assault from the school's "three idiots" mainly Nanami, Sorimachi, and Takagi. After successfully knocking them out, it turns out that Ena and Erica were competing who was the better and stronger lover. This was the result of Erica discovering that Ena returned to Tokyo by "someone" under the circumstances of "by chance", which Godou suspects that it was not all to it, but refused to delve into it. Ena then stated she was visiting the Asakusa district of Tokyo in a dojo owned by Green Dragon-sensei, who was one of the four assistant instructors who had instructed Ena and the other miko in various ways of martial arts. It appears that Green Dragon-sensei and the other disciples heard about Ena's situation with Godou, and they were asking curious questions like if she is "finally going to be a wife" or "Have you had a baby already" and "Is your bridal training going well?". Erica discovered what was going on around Ena "by chance" again, then "dropped by the dojo" obviously out of anger and 'showily defeating the entire dojo' gaining the admiration of Ena. Then, Ena and Erica started an argument about, which the two of them is the better wife, resulting in a competition between combat and cooking, which eventually had no result. This only creates another dispute where they decide to settle the matter by trying to convince Godou to spend his winter vacation with either one of them, or the place that they recommend. For Ena, she wanted to persuade Godou to spend some time with her at the hot springs in the mountains that the Seishuuin main house in Chichibu owns. For Erica, it is skiing in Switzerland with her family at the Blandelli family's mountain villa. Then they decided to find Godou to ask his opinion regarding their argument and managed to rescue him in time from the three idiots. After reporting their story without hearing Godou's answer, they soon moved into asking Godou's permission to interrogate the three idiots whom they all initially believed to be from some magic organization. After some discussion about torture methods, they eventually decided to dump the three idiots into a nearby pond only to discover their true identities and to find out that they assaulted Godou, due to his lack of response to their request for Godou to ask his harem and Shizuka to take part in the school swimsuit + nekomimi maid cafe for the school festival. Godou obviously refused the three on the spot under the notion that the girls won't help, only to hear from Ena that she is fine if Godou persuaded her in contrast to Erica who agreed with Godou that such a proposal is out of the question.
- While Godou patiently dealt with the three idiot's complaints, both Ena and Erica suggested giving them to give appropriate punishments as they both felt that even if the three idiots did it as a joke without much ill intent, the abduction of their [King] is still out of the question. Obviously, Godou rejected their proposal, only to suggest an alternative to the three idiots, only to go to Akihabara to seek help from Lu Yinghua.
- (Some time passed as Godou agreed to help the “three idiots” out with school festival preparation) While waking up during the night in his classroom, Godou tires out from preparing for the school festival and becomes thirsty. Godou found some liquid in the dark classroom and drank it, not knowing it would force him back to sleep and have weird dreams.
- (During the Dream) Ena came uninvited in the morning to wake Godou up while wearing a maid uniform (in an unknown Japanese-style room). Ena explains that she wants to show off this maid uniform because she heard that Godou recently had a taste for them. When Yuri came in and was surprised that Ena was there, Yuri then questioned Godou if he had anything to do with Ena being there. Godou explains that Ena comes on her own accord, and Ena responds by confirming it. Ena then explains about Godou's new hobby to Yuri and why she dresses like a maid; which leads Yuri to lecture Godou about this new taste of his. The lecture somehow ended up in reverse in which Yuri shyly states she wouldn’t mind wearing a maid uniform if she had known. When Yuri said that, Ena stated that she had some spare at hand and started taking Yuri's clothes off, forcing Godou to cover his face with a futon out of embarrassment. (Dream End).
Volume 9:
- The volume started off with Guinevere and Lancelot clashing with Athena somewhere in the Southern East Europe Area before Guinevere uses an underhand trick in using the Holy Grail on Athena's body, which slowly sucks her power that will eventually kill her (Athena). Athena retreated from the battlefield immediately because she felt the Holy Grail was eating her power away. After Athena retreated Guinevere decided to head to Japan where she believed her [King] of the strongest steel slept unbeknown to her that Athena was also heading that way.
- Back in Japan, while all the students from Jounan Academy were having a school festival, Ena and Amakasu were on guard duty somewhere near the coast of Kisarazu City in the Chiba Prefecture watching over a grimoire due to a foreboding premonition from Sayanomiya Kaoru.
- A few days later after Godou’s school finishes its school festival; Ena calls Godou to request his help, which he reluctantly agrees to help. The next day, Godou, along with Liliana and Yuri, was picked up by Sayanomiya Kaoru and was driven to where Ena and Amakasu were guarding the grimoire. When they arrive at the scene, Yuri and Liliana go to help Amakasu investigate what kind of grimoire it was while Godou and Ena have some alone time together. However, they were interrupted by the appearance of Athena in front of them (Godou and Ena), declaring that she was here to dual Godou, and she would not take “no” for an answer and left after stating her declaration. After Athena left, Godou and Ena told the rest of the group about Athena's appearance. As they were getting down with their discussions, Guinevere suddenly appeared before their group and announced to Godou that she knew that he was going fight Athena soon, and she (Guinevere) was here to help with a plan but with a price that she gets the grimoire that they just dug up. Going red alert as everyone prepares a fighting stance, Guinevere simply bypasses them and assault (kiss) Godou with magic that contains the information about the Holy Grail. Guinevere left after that leaving Godou to be harassed by Yuri and Liliana for having too many openings against the enemy (female). The harassment ended when Amakasu told the group that Athena finally reappeared.
- As Athena was altering the landscape and its residents into stone, Godou was preparing to engage her in combat with Liliana, Yuri, and Ena's help. As soon as Godou engages in combat with Athena, she unleashes her power to turn things into stone in the surrounding area which includes the area where Liliana, Yuri, and Ena standing nearby. With the exception of Godou and Ena, Liliana, Yuri, and any person or things nearby were turned into stone. Godou and Ena then engage Athena in combat, where Godou uses [Sword] with the knowledge of the Holy Grail to pierce Athena. When Godou finally uses [Sword] and stabs Athena, he realizes that he has been used by Guinevere. Godou being a good-natured person plans to help Athena get rid of the effect of the Holy Grail while at the same time, returning a favor to the goddess. Whether Athena fully agrees with Godou for trying to save her or not is not stated in the novel, but she did turn herself into stone to prolong her life and cancel the effect of the Holy Grail temporarily.
- (Same day, that night) As Godou pondered on how to save everyone, he was joined later by Ena as company. That night, Ena, through magic, gives Godou information about Athena, and later together, they forge a new sword from the combine [Sword] and Ama no Murakumo no Tsurugi to disable the Holy Grail.
- (The next day) While Godou was dealing with Athena, Ena was dealing with Guinevere. Later Lancelot went to where Godou and Athena were, while Erica joined the scene where Ena was fighting Guinevere’s divine beasts. Soon not long afterward, Liliana and Yuri (turning back to normal) arrive to where Ena and Erica were and support them in their fight against Guinevere’s divine beasts.
- (Godou scene of the battlefield) When Godou and Lancelot were about to make a last go, Erica told Lancelot that Guinevere already fled the scene. Upon hearing this, Lancelot also retreated leaving Godou and Athena on their own. When Lancelot left, Godou told his female companion that he wanted to do this alone (as in a fight with Athena alone), to which they agreed. When they return, the battle is over with Athena gone, so they then give comfort words to Godou to make him feel better. However, they were suddenly interrupted by Amakasu who told them that the grimoire he was holding on to was stolen.
Volume 10:
- Ena made a brief appearance in the Volume while recovering in the hospital for overusing her magic from fighting Guinevere’s divine beasts.
Short Story 3:
- Ena, who finally recovered enough to come back down to the city was chatting and complaining toward her friends, Yuri and Liliana. As they were chatting, they somehow led to the discussion of Godou. The more Ena talks about him, the more Yuri and Liliana feel like they need to punish him because he was getting along with another female so they plan to invite him over for dinner along with their chosen chef, aka Arianna, Erica’s maid.
Volume 12:
- Ena called Godou up to ask about the Christmas party, but hearing Godou sound strange, she received a transmission from "Ama no Murakumo" which explained to her the situation, and then she told Godou that he should be able to break the curse he is under and that she would be coming back to Tokyo earlier from her training.
- Not long afterward, when Godou was pondering how to attack and defeat the divine tree that is causing and will cause more problems in the future if left alone, Ena arrives. Godou handed over her sword, not long afterwards, while Ena was engaged in combat; Erica, Hikari, Liliana, and Yuri showed up as well to help. They explain to Godou that they already removed the curse thanks to Hikari. While Erica and Ena are dealing with the divine tree, Godou along with Liliana goes and takes care of its sources of power. They came back after they destroyed the sources; however, Erica noted that they probably used [Sword] to do it so Erica and Ena secretly decided to tease Godou and Liliana about it. After the battle, most of Godou’s acquaintances went over to Godou's house for the Christmas Eve Party.
Short Story 5:
- The day after the Christmas Eve party, Godou got into a discussion with his female companions about his family New Year gathering and party and how he wanted to avoid it because he is often dragged into gambling with his relatives and winning. Not believe his word for winning all the time, he prove to them by play a simple game with his female acquaintances. After several round of losing for Godou’s companion and winning it all for Godou, they wonder if this is related to being a Campione. Godou denied all this, stating there's no such thing and that he does occasionally lose; that when Erica came back in from her phone where he plays with her to prove he's normal and indeed he lost and happily did the winners biding by going out to buy stuff for her. After he left to buy the stuff, Erica told the rest of the girls that she uses magic to winning and she occasionally loses to make Godou happy.

Powers & Abilities
Ena is a Hime-Miko with the special ability Divine Possession which allows her to channel divine power through her body. While not on the same order as a Heretic God, or a Campione, it allows Ena to overwhelm even expert mages and Great Knights such as Erica when enough empowered, allowing her to fight on par with a Divine Beast or Demigod. However, this requires either an object filled with divine power or the aide of a Campione or a god. Ena can also communicate with gods and spirits in the Netherworld, usually through the medium of a powered down cellphone. This makes her among the most powerful Hime-Miko in terms of raw power. She also has an incredible sense of hearing, even distinguishing the sound of footsteps between one person and another and hearing these footsteps from a long distance.
However, because of the stress usage of divine power and Authorities puts on the body of a normal human, Ena may only use it for a short time, and must have a minimum of three days of rest (a full week would be better) between uses. Using it longer or more often will put her health and life at risk.
While under the influence of Godou's Youth Authority, Ena's ability to wield divine power is doubled, and may allow her to wield it longer or more often.
Incantations for Divine possession are:
- "Ame no murakumo tsurugi, I pray that you take my body as a sacrifice, for even a fierce god may not cross your borders. i will not regret this moment.
- " And now a thousand leaves breaking, the Iwaki of God, surpassing possible, I know name it, unfortunate nothingness."
Equipment
Ena is the former wielder of the Ame no Murakumo no Tsurugi, the sword commonly called Kusanagi no Tsurugi or Grasscutter. A divine sword of the highest order, and infused with the power of the former Heretic God Susanoo. It is infused with so much power it has evolved into a Heretic God itself.
After Volume 5, Ame no Murakumo becomes one of Godou Kusanagi's Authorities.
In Volume 9, after a ritual performed with Godou, Ena gained the ability to draw on Ame no Murakumo's divinity without it being in her hand, allowing her to summon a doppelganger of the sword.
Etymology
