Shizuku (しずく?) is the priestess of Suwa Shrine under the orders of Yorishige. She's a member of Elusive Warriors, and Yorishige's (and later Tokiyuki's) steward. Some time later, it would be revealed that she is actually a mass of divine power called Mishaguji.

Appearance[]

Shizuku is a beautiful girl with fair skin and mesmerizing tortoise-green eyes. Her hair is a smooth charcoal black color, always kept in a low ponytail tied with a light white bow, with the tip tied with a beautiful emerald ornament near ankle height, and has a traditional gold crown finely adorning her head. Before the timeskip, Shizuku wore a priestess outfit consisting of a wide white vest with red highlights, completed with a bell threaded onto her vest with a red ribbon. After the timeskip, Shizuku sports a new hairstyle that features two short twin pigtails, the rest of her hair reaching to her shoulders.

Personality[]

Shizuku is very calm and indifferent to everyone around her being a silent and peaceful presence. When working on some strategy or plan, she can become very serious. Despite being a supposedly insensitive deity, while traveling with the Elusive Warriors, Tokiyuki discovers a playful and cute side to her, enjoying playing pranks and teasing others.

Also, she seems to show some feelings for Tokiyuki, whom she used to call her brother and used to deny having any feelings for him. She loves her "Father" Suwa Yorishige very much, although she doesn't always fully understand him, she supports and believes in him by following him in most of his plans and playing pranks on Tokiyuki.

She is an honest, mature and intelligent person, she is also seen as very hard-working and homely, cooking for her friends or being the calm in any storm.
