Kimochi
Kimochi (キモチ / Feelings) are powerful Witch-like creatures that mysteriously begin appearing throughout Kamihama in Arc 2. Kimochi are able to summon Rumors as their minions and appear in a barrier-like atmosphere. According to an archive description from Magia Day 2019:
“A being that’s neither Witch nor Rumor, recently observed within Kamihama City. Out of a desire to return to the person they’re meant to dwell within, Feelings disturb and take control of their human visitors’ emotions, and attempt to impersonate them. Several Feelings appear to be scattered throughout town.”
After encoutering and defeating a Kimochi for the first time, it retreated into a jeweled bracelet that appeared on Iroha's wrist. The Kimochi briefly communicates with Iroha while the bracelet is being examined; it seems to want to go somewhere, and will only allow itself to be given to someone who Iroha can trust with her life. The members of Promised Blood appear to be searching for the Feeling as well, and attempt to steal the bracelet.
Judging by the glyphs on each of the bracelet’s panels and the available space for more jewels, there are presumably eight Kimochi in total. Each Kimochi has a glyph that corresponds to a different symbol of the Bagua and a gem whose color corresponds to Plutchik's wheel of emotions.
