Tommy: A beautiful but terrifying immortal monster

On the surface, Tomi Kawakami looks like nothing more than an unusually beautiful young woman with black hair and a distinctive beauty mark under her eyes. But, in reality, he is an inhuman, immortal monster with infinite potential for cruelty. Her origins are mysterious, but she appears to be an evil, succubus-like creature that can make people obsessed with her or drive them mad simply by spending enough time in her presence.

Tommy's primary powers include the ability to induce obsessions in men and terrifying paranoid hysteria in women. Affected individuals will commit acts of disturbing violence, including murder and cannibalism. A person targeted by Tommy, especially a woman, can potentially become another version of Tommy, especially if they come into contact with his blood (eg through a blood transfusion). He can also “rejuvenate” excess tumors from his body similar to tumor reproduction.

Eventually, she sees a photo of him taken by a friend, and realizes that Tommy is a monster, as she sees a second, terrifying face emerge from behind his beautiful face. Murray paints Tommy like this, angering him and causing him to kill him (because he doesn't know he's immortal.) He cuts him into pieces, and over time, each piece becomes a perfect copy of the original Tomie. Murray is said to have gone mad after encountering Tommy.
