"I'm faithful to you only, Lady Tomoe!"

"I'm Shizuka~. Nice to meet you."

Shizuka (シズカ) is a friend and former enemy of Tomoe. Shizuka has left behind the evil ways of a Kouma Ninja. She now accompanies Tomoe and aids her on her quest to win the Queen's Blade.

Appearance

Shizuka is a beautiful young woman with fair skin in her early twenties. Her lavender colored hair is kept short on the sides, a long strand hangs from the right side of her fringe down to her chest, and the hair at the back of her head is a bit thicker and reaches down to her shoulder blades. Her lips have been colored lavender, matching her hair color. Her eyes are light blue and she possesses quite an ample bosom.

Her main clothing is a short, sleeveless, dark purple tunic with black edges. The front and back of the tunic are open which shows a hefty amount of her cleavage and fully exposes her back. The tunic is kept together by a red obi belt tied on the front of her waist. On her forearms, she wears dark brown leather bracers. Her right elbow and shoulder are bare, while her left arm is covered by a fishnet sleeve and a simple shoulder plate.

Shizuka's legs are almost bare, save for dark purple socks and Japanese-style tabi shoes. The most distinguished part of her outfit is the brown headband with a pair of small, curved horns. Between the horns, the middle of her fringe hangs over the headband down to just above her eyebrows. Around her neck is a dark purple choker.

Personality

Shizuka is quite easy going and casual. She is very loyal and protective to her friend, Tomoe. In fact, she occasionally gets jealous of the Miko's relationship with Leina.

Abilities

As expected from a shinobi of a feared clan, Shizuka's fighting style combines exceptional speed, weapon skill, and agility. She is very stealthy, capable of moving unheard and unseen past enemies and infiltrate well defended fortifications. She has displayed excellent accuracy with throwing knives.

Armed with her Kunai (throwing knives), Kusarigama (sickle connected to a round weight with a metal chain), and Kodachi (Japanese short sword), Shizuka can effectively fight in both close and ranged combat. Her signature attack and finishing move is to use the chain and weight of her kusari-gama and constrict her opponent against a solid object (such as a tree), to render them defenseless, which allows her to quickly move in for the kill with the sickle.

Story prior to QB

(From the Queen's Blade site)

A genius ninja, leader of the Kouma Ninja squad, the ninja group most feared in Hinomoto. Although she was trained by the higher ranks to not care about her own life or her partners', deep down she's realistic, rather than evil.
