MP100 Daemon AU — Shigeo “Mob” Kageyama + Yuhinagiku (Raccoon Dog/Tanuki )
(Socially selective, dedicated and loyal, cooperative, adaptable, unobtrusive, conflict-avoidant, cautious, persistent and hardworking, selfless, tolerant and easy-going, quiet, practical, caring and nurturing, goal-oriented, puts great amount of faith in their close friends)
Mob’s daemon is rather solitary for a wild dog. Rather than joining the customary pack, raccoon dogs do just fine on their own. However, they are best known for their tendency to pair-bond, and these monogamous bonds last through many seasons to entire lifetimes. During breeding season, the parent raccoon dogs work together to care for their litters, each parent doing their own part to collect food and protect their young. Raccoon dogs are omnivores and can have a wide variety in diet (such as fish, birds, toxic toads, insects, fruit, berries, and grains), allowing them to not have to compete with other top carnivores such as foxes and badgers. They are also the only wild canine known to participate in a kind of hibernation, which is something the northernmost raccoon dogs have adapted to. They are quite non-territorial and non-aggressive for the most part, although the parents can become very testy if their babies or loved ones are threatened. Since they are adaptable and work cooperatively to produce strong litters, raccoon dogs can be seen as persistent and dutiful in all they do.
Mob is not settled at the beginning of the series. It took a good while to settle, often switching through different small mammals mixed with some birds and even the occasional small reptile. There would be some instances where Mob’s daemon would take on a larger, more ferocious shape, such as during the 100% Hostility fight that ended with Ritsu being kidnapped by Claw. Mob may have possibly even settled as one of these if he had been left to go through with his 100% Murderous Intent in the battle with Claw’s 7th Division. However, Reigen interfered and took on the responsibility of the moment before it was too late, and Mob remained unsettled for a while yet. It wasn’t until after the Mogami incident that Mob finally settled on a raccoon dog, because as horrifying of an experience it was, Mob learned quite a bit about himself and noticeably matured from those events. However, he seems to be more protective of his daemon than anyone ever remembered him being before settling, and some have been shocked to have Yuhi growl at them and then quickly whine in apology if she’s approached too suddenly. Mob seems rather ashamed of these occurrences, but he never talks about why it happens either…
Mob tends to be quiet, easy-going and emotionally guarded (to keep his powers in check), while Yuhi is his more emotional, caring and dedicated side.

Name Analysis:
Yuhinagiku is an amalgamation of Japanese of words meaning “Gentle Daisy”, with “Yu” being gentle and “Hinagiku” being daisy. In flower language, a daisy symbolizes innocence, purity, new beginnings (Mob being the first child in his family), and true love, which I thought would be rather fitting for Mob’s soul. Not to mention a literal daisy pops out of his head near the end of the Mogami arc, which was entirely a coincidence because I only remembered this AFTER I started considering the name…! But it was nice bonus symbolism.
