Keiki Haniyasushin is a god summoned by human spirits. She is quite polite and doesn't fight if she can avoid it. She can craft idols, which are animated by faith directed into them. Wily Beast and Weakest Creature indirectly compares this ability to the creation of a goshintai. Her surname is Haniyasushin (埴安神). Haniyasu (埴安) is taken from the name of the kami on which she is based, and comprises the characters for "clay" and "ease". The last character, shin (神), loosely means "god", and is present in the names of various kami throughout Shinto mythology. Her given name is Keiki (袿姫). The kei (袿) refers to uchigi, a colorful robe that was often worn in several layers as part of a jūnihitoe, a formal dress worn by ladies-in-waiting at the Japanese Imperial Court during the Heian period and are also worn at important ceremonial functions such as weddings and enthronements. The character ki (姫) means "princess" or any lady of noble birth. Thus, Keiki (袿姫) roughly means "uchigi princess".
