Parvati

Parvati (パールヴァティ, Paaruvati) is a recurring demon in the series, based on Hindu myth.

History
This beautiful goddess of love is one of Shiva's wives in Hindu mythology. A mountain princess, she is the reincarnation of the goddess Sati, and won Shiva's love in her previous life despite his asceticism, but self-immolated herself after her father's disapproval. Reborn as Parvati, she sought him out and became his consort once again. They have the ability to merge into the half-male, half-female Ardha.
