"Kama? She's rather charming these days, don't you think?" In an act of retaliation against Pārvatī and others' disagreeably warm comments, the god of love has awakened as the Demon King Mara (or so she claims). Summer is full of temptation. 'Tis the season of depravity. What kind of Demon King would she be if she doesn't assert her presence? Newly motivated, she changes into a cute swimsuit and tries even more aggressively than usual to corrupt her Master... "What do you think? This is the true form of the summer Demon King Mara. Scared that you might accidentally get corrupted?" Everyone nodded, agreeing that it is indeed terrifying that she's no different than the usual Kama.

Height/Weight: 156cm, 46kg Origin: Indian Mythology Region: India Alignment: Neutral-Evil Sub-Attribute: Heaven Gender: Female The height and weight shown here were recorded while she was in her base form. Now that it's summer, she's acting even more freely than usual.

Kama was thinking... "Am I not being taken seriously anymore? Are they treating me like a child, thinking they can keep me in check just by giving me cake? I mean, I'm certainly not about to start taking my job as the god of love seriously or anything, but everyone not taking me seriously kind of pisses me off, too. Pārvatī used to be so wary of me, but now she just smiles and says things like, 'Try not to get up to too much mischief now, okay?' Well, if she's going to harass me like that, I'll just have to remind her why she was scared of me in the first place, won't I" And so, Kama made up her mind. She was going to show everyone that she was not only the god of love, but also the terrifying Demon King of Depravity! The arrival of summer presented the perfect opportunity. "You know, this is a good chance for me to put everything I have into corrupting Master once and for all. There's no way I can fail in a swimsuit, especially once I bring out my affectionate (laughs) side. Then I'll have my revenge against Pārvatī and everyone else who's been humiliating me by treating me like a damn kid! I can't wait to see the looks on their faces when they realize their mistake!"

Makara Floating: A A perfect skill for summer waterplay. Kama is said to also have ties to Makara, a sea monster from Indian mythology. Makara is also the vehicle (vahana) of Varuna, the water goddess, and Ganga, goddess of the river Ganges, which means it has the power to control water. In addition to being comfortable to float on, Kama's mysterious shark and crocodile floaties can overcome even the roughest waves. At times, they can be even faster and more maneuverable than a jet ski. Midsummer Sea Mara: EX This skill demonstrates just how seriously the Demon King is taking summer. You can think of it as the summer version of Mara Pāpīyas. It suppresses her usual unmotivated attitude and makes Kama a little more...proactive. Who knows? It may even prompt her to respond to requests she would normally turn down because they're "too much trouble" with a more accommodating "Eh, why not? It is summer, after all."

Hollow Evil: EX As a result of acquiring an Avenger Spirit Origin, Kama, who was connected to the universe thanks to Shiva incinerating her, became even more deeply intertwined with the unusual magecraft temperament of the girl whose body she inhabits. Consequently, her summer version is able to attack by manipulating a unique form of magical energy. Though the fires of depravity will never disappear, this skill does help to lessen them considerably. That's why there appear to be fewer flames burning her body in her Third Ascension.

『Kama Rūpāstra』 Rank: B NP Type: Anti-Personnel Range: 2 - 10 Maximum Targets: 10 With Love Comes Summer Romance. A version of Kama's flower arrow (Sammohana) that changed its appearance to better suit its use during summer: a cute floatie ring that couldn't be better-suited to a pretty young girl. This weapon, for a weapon it is, makes anyone who sees her fall in love. Once this NP hits its target, its sheer corruptive power bursts out in the form of a shadowy giant. Not even Kama herself knows why that happens. "Rūpāstra" is another of Kama's names. It means "one who possesses the weapon of beauty." 『Mara Śūnyatā』 Rank: B NP Type: Anti-Personnel Range: 2 - 10 Maximum Targets: 100 With Romance Comes Depraved Love. An invitation to depravity, performed while Kama's Mara aspect is openly dominant, this is a dark universe that ultimately leads to love. While that part may not be meaningfully different than usual, in this Spirit Origin, it manifests as something deeper, and more hollow. Anyone who falls into this depraved darkness will never escape it. One could say this entire space is a void transformed by flame. Instead of Love Flame, which brazenly incinerates those it touches, this dark, empty flame dissolves its targets with nary a sound.

Kama claims that this new version of her is her Mara side showing through more than usual, which is why she's being bolder and more demonic (frankly, "impish" is a better word here) with her attempts to corrupt Master. But how is that actually different from usual? Honestly? It isn't. She's the same Kama she always is. The only real difference is that she's now more openly trying to seduce Master into depravity in a way she feels fits the summer season. What's more, the extreme optimizations she's made for offense have left her defenses incredibly weak...which is to say, she's a pushover now. Even when she suggests things like sharing a soda with a double straw, she blushes crimson when it actually comes time to drink. This is why Pārvatī no longer considers her a threat. It hardly takes a goddess to see that her attempts to seduce Master into a life of depravity will inevitably end in abject failure. That said, even in this summer Spirit Origin, Kama is still just as much herself and Mara as ever. That ratio is six parts Kama to four parts Mara in her usual form, and four parts Kama to six parts Mara in her Beast form. But now, incredibly enough...! "Kama may insist she's seven parts Mara right now, but she's actually still mostly Kama, as usual." (Source: Pārvatī)
