Shizuku Sangō

Shizuku Sangō [三郷 雫, Sangō Shizuku] is the tritagonist and a third-year student of the Seitetsu Gakuin High School and is the president of the Seitetsu Student Council. She is the first Red Kämpfer to be seen in the series. Shizuku is an honours student; she has a perfect attendance record and is among the highest scoring students of the school. Her status as Student Council President gives her the most flexibility amongst her team in covering Kämpfer activity.

Shizuku had been initiated as a Kämpfer a long time ago. Tamiko Shinomiya, another Red Kämpfer, had been her senior then, and had taken care of her, until her defeat at the hands of an unnamed Blue Kämpfer. Shizuku buried Tamiko's Messenger, Run-over Hippo, in the burial grounds out of respect for the elder Kämpfer. Since this incident, she has brooded on the existence on the Kämpfers and Moderators, and hopes to find an important enough reason that could justify the loss of her friend. To this end, Shizuku later fought and killed many Kämpfers to discover the true nature of the battles. Unsatisfied with incomplete information, she later rebelled against the Moderators with Natsuru Senou, Akane Mishima and Mikoto Kondou, in an attempt to draw them out and to confront them once and for all.

Shizuku is a veteran duelist, having survived many battles. Her proficiency with her knives allows her to deflect bullets and Zauber attacks with ease. She is also able to throw her knives great distances, and is even able to change their direction mid-flight. Shizuku has an Electocuted Lynx as her Messenger.

She is currently allied with Mikoto Kondō, a fellow Red Kämpfer, and Natsuru Senō and Akane Mishima, both Blue Kämpfers. Her weapons are of a Schwert type; two double-edged knives linked by a chain.

Despite not being chosen in the Light Novel, at the end of the Manga, Shizuku is eventually chosen by Natsuru over the other girls thus making her Natsuru's lover.

Normal Appearance
Shizuku is a tall, eighteen-year-old, Japanese girl with pale skin. She keeps a long fringe - just over her eyes - and keeps her raven-black hair long and in the style of a hime cut. She is amazingly beautiful, so much so that she is considered to be one of the Three Beauties of Seitetsu. She has been described as having the face and body of a fashion model, as well as being very athletic. In the anime, she has purplish-blue eyes, and has no specified eye colour in the light novel or the manga. Her breasts are shown to be large, though her sizes are never specified. She is regularly seen with her school uniform on with her red choker. She once appeared in a revealing black bikini that showed off her beautiful figure. Her other clothes reflect her personality, and are more formal than those of other characters.

Kämpfer Appearance
Shizuku's transformation to a Kämpfer is among the least drastic. When transformed, her hair carries a two toned complexion of black and white. As these hairs are seen to be closest to her body, it is possible that her hairs at the sides and back of her head are the only ones which undergo this color change. It may be for this reason that Shizuku keeps her hair long; doing so allows her to appear normal even after having transformed, thus allowing her to communicate naturally with other students and teachers. It is unknown if this was intended, or simply a helpful coincidence.

While she does not have to worry about being caught in Kämpfer form, because of her Kämpfer appearance being similar to her regular appearance, she is the most cautious amongst her team in regards to Kämpfer activity. She is the most recognisable amongst her team, and takes great care not to be found out.

Shizuku has a strong, but quiet character, and as an honours student and Student Council President, she is known to be disciplined, dependable, responsible, hard-working and uncompromising. She is the most reasonable of her team (except in regards to treating Natsuru) and is usually the quickest to find any problems and solutions to them. She is usually depicted as having less emotion than her allies. Whether she has trouble showing emotions, or simply wants to control showing them, is unknown. Any small change seen in Shizuku in terms of emotion usually means that there is a strong undertone under it all. She is normally treated with suspicion by her allies, as they never really know what she is thinking, or how she is feeling.

Shizuku is reluctant in being selected as a Kämpfer, though she does not show it. She is driven by a need to uncover the intentions of the Moderators, and Sakura Kaede's role in it all. She has shown to be extremely protective of Kaede, and resents any harm that comes to her. When Akane nearly shot Kaede in the school library, Shizuku flew into a rage and renewed her furious attack on her and Natsuru. She is worried that Kaede, her childhood friend, is responsible for turning her into a Kämpfer, though she intends to help Kaede if it seems that she was not in control of her actions. She has no hesitation in eliminating enemy Kämpfers in achieving her goals.

After being defeated by Natsuru and Akane in a battle, she is spared by Natsuru in exchange for Shizuku not involving Kaede in future battles. She enters an informal truce with Natsuru and Akane while she gathers more information about the Kämpfer system and has since taken an increasing romantic interest in male Natsuru, slyly teasing him with her demands and advances, even going so far as to steal his first kiss all without losing her composure and demeanor, which makes Natsuru even more suspicious of her, despite her not harboring any actual hostile intentions toward him. Shizuku continues to give off hints to Natsuru that she is romantically interested in him, in spite of his extra denseness regarding her feelings, even asking him out on a real date and even passionately kissing him in front of Kaede and the others, although her ambiguous demeanor again seems to become her undoing (a fact she seems to have realized, calling her love an unrequited one), as Natsuru keeps thinking that she is up to something whenever she makes an advance on him.

She seeks to know why Kämpfer must fight because, as she told Natsuru, she resents being used as a pawn by the Moderators, and seeks her goal in the hope of fulfilling her ultimate objective of taking revenge against the organizers of the Kämpfer system, which cost her the life of a dear friend in the past, who was also a Red Kämpfer like her. In order to fight back against the system, and indirectly its organizers, she and her new Red Kämpfer ally Mikoto later enter into a formal truce and join forces with the Blue Kämpfer Natsuru and Akane, violating the rule that all Kämpfer must fight, antagonizing the Moderators in the process, who send the White Kämpfer to eliminate them for rebelling against the system. As a Kämpfer, the messenger assigned to Shizuku by the Moderators is Electrocuted Wildcat, a plush toy that is part of the Entrails Animals series of stuffed toys. When in the end Natsuru chooses Akane, she cries for him because her love was genuine.

Shizuku is a Schwert User. She uses two chain-linked, double-edged knives. She is able to use them in a close-up melee, or as a ranged weapon. The chain between them is able to extend at will, which Shizuku uses to great advantage. She is able to cut through most objects, only being stopped by hard objects, like steel bookshelves, a large mass such as the ground, and Gewehr and Schwert weapons. It is known that Shizuku can deflect Zauber-type attacks and bullets.

Shizuku is a very agressive fighter, and will usually be the first to initiate combat. She is not afraid of running away if the situation calls for it, and returning stronger and deadlier. She is known to manipulate potential combat areas prior to fighting, in order to swing the odds in her favor. She is potentially the most dangerous individual on her team, along with having the most experience.
