Shizuru Kousaka

Shizuru is a very smart, yet upbeat and easygoing woman but also very sexual and direct.

She is mischievous, charming and mature, as she loves to tease virgins for being still inexperienced and can act very provocative even while on a mission. Highly intelligent, she speaks multiple languages and is informed about history and world politics. She is not arrogant about her intelligence, and rather down to earth.

Shizuru derives great enjoyment by teasing people, with her curves, or gently blowing a soft gust of air at someone's ear and observing their shocked reaction, but all this is done more as a playful if slightly sadistic act, which is not meant to seriously hurt the feelings of anyone. Shizuru is an expert when it comes to twisting people around her small finger and get what she wants, as a Taimanin well known for her infiltration skill, she uses this on missions to gain intel or perform sabotage. Regardless of that, she states about herself that she is over-conscious of her body, and if somebody is more direct romantically and is taken the initiative, she finds herself on the at the disadvantage, and does get slightly nervous herself.

Shizuru can jump between joking and serious in seconds, as she analyses situations quick. This ability to switch personality and acting, so fast surprises some people who underestimate her, believing she would be either just a genius or shallow. Shizuru herself seems to play into that aspect, not just for her undercover work, but also as it gives her joy to make people second guess her true intentions. She believes in Taimanin justice and typically is a force for good that defense her students, even if her tactics are unconventional. When, civilians are involved, she attempts to save them, and if dealing with someone with low self-esteem, she attempts to motivate them. As a teacher, she has an overall softer approach and only becomes slightly strict if people break the rules, which makes her very liked by her students.

Shizuru also is a very cleanly person and takes baths before missions as a ritual, something she often uses to tease others if she is working together with other Taimanin. Often gives advice on clothing to others, just like Igawa Sakura her suggestions are often rather risqué. As a teacher, she still cares about the growth of her students and wishes them to become confident. Shizuru seems to also not actively look for a lover but because of her ninja abilities, she is skilled and experienced.

Originally, most of Shizuru's character was seen, through the VN bad end routes, in which her mind is strongly effected by the Eve chip and sexual teasing has a strong sadistic undertone, hiding her actions to be part of the mission. Pushing Yukikaze or Rinko into lewder situations, with her role as a teacher, while being very cruel and manipulating towards Tatsuro, even if it is not her fault. In other bad end, scenarios she is reduced to a rather pathetic state, with her intelligence dropping in the same way her shameless debauchery is rising, and she becomes a laughingstock, as she gains pleasure by the verbal or physical humiliation. While, Shizuru has the potential to fall, in these ways, she is typically in control of her feelings.
