This question contains spoilers for the second season of the Monogatari
series.

Oshino Ougi refers to herself as the niece of Oshino Meme. But Kaiki mentions
in Koimonogatari/Hitagi End that Meme has no family at all and it's not
possible that he has a niece.

Also, [this news-article at
ANN](http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2014-03-12/owarimonogatari-final-
novel-promo-streamed) suggests that she ([or
he?](http://bakemonogatari.wikia.com/wiki/Ougi_Oshino#Trivia)) fights with
Koyomi in the latest novels and it seems to me that she is responsible for
Nadeko becoming a god. Is she actually an antagonist?

Who is Oshino Ougi?


As I haven't read the light novel, it still very vague whether she is an
antagonist or not. As in Nisemonogatari, Kaiki is an antagonist, but in the
Second Season, he's become somewhat of a protagonist.

For now in _Monogatari Series: Second Season_ , I believe she's antagonist
from the fact that she lied and said that she is Meme Oshino's niece. (She
pretend to be a good guy)

When she almost crashes into Nadeko, she said something like "I'm not supposed
to meet you yet" and tells Nadeko to stop playing the victim. This implies
that she's related to Nadeko becoming a snake god.

Ougi’s true identity is Araragi Koyomi himself. From the Bakemonogatari
[Wikia's](http://bakemonogatari.wikia.com/wiki/Owarimonogatari) section on
"Ougi Dark":

> Gaen reveals that Ougi’s true identity is Araragi Koyomi himself. She is an
> Oddity that Araragi created, similarly to how Hanekawa’s stress created
> Black Hanekawa, and Sengoku’s hallucinations created the white snake
> Kuchinawa. Ougi represents Araragi’s self-criticism. When Araragi saw
> "Darkness" for the first time in Shinobu Time, he realized that there is a
> law dictating over the world of Oddity. Araragi knows that he is too weak,
> too hesitant, too emotional to make harsh decisions, and he subconsciously
> wished for a being that can judge him, and "correct" everything wrong in
> this world. His desire came true as Oshino Ougi.

In short, yes she is the main antagonist of the series, as you as for most
parts of the series Araragi solved the problems of the other girls, in Kizu it
was for Shinobu, in Neko it was for Hanekawa, Bakamonogatari - Senjogahara and
the other girls etc.

So Ougi is "Araragis problem", or it's manifestation.

It is a big spoiler, I mean her identity

> she is Araragi, or rather Araragi's dark side.
