Kashigami

Not to be confused with Kashi, one of the two giant gatekeepers for Enies Lobby.

Kashigami was the grandparent of Nola. She was thought to be a god by the Shandia.

Appearance
She looked almost exactly the same as Nola, but was a bit smaller. All other traits are exactly the same as her grandchild.

Personality
Little was known about Kashigami’s personality, but she seemed to have an instinctual mindset, accepting people as sacrifices, or, in her mind, food.

History
When she first appeared in the story, Calgara's daughter was about to be sacrificed to it, when Montblanc Noland defeated her.

Child
Kashigami had a child whose name is unknown before her death. She first appeared in Chapter 289 and Episode 188.

When she was first seen, she was smaller than her parent. She approached a trapped Noland, after finishing off a leopard she had just killed. Calgara declared this was Noland's punishment for killing their god. After a speech on the cure for Tree Fever, Calgara took it upon himself to kill her to protect Noland. Before this child was killed, however, she sired a child of her own, Nola.

Oh God of Sun... God of rain... God of the Forest... God of the Land... Please take this woman's blood and save our village from disaster. Save us...! Please, Oh God Kashigami!

Trivia

 * Although the serpent was labeled "Kashigami", some Shandorians themselves did not know what their God looked like until she appeared. Since some Shandorians did not know what their God looked like, it indicated that the ritual was not a common occurrence amongst their people and was something they reserved only for dire situations.
 * When Dorry and Brogy attacked the island eating goldfish, they referred to a "great serpent soaked in blood" and the "mighty spears of Elbaf". During Noland and Calgara's flashback, Noland killed Kashigami; after the snake's death, blood soaked the altar. Calgara later killed Kashigami's child with a spear.
