Shizuka Futari

Shizuka Futari looks like a young girl in elementary school.

She has long black hair that almost touches her feet.

Her eyes are bright yellow and she wears a red flower hair clip.

Shizuka usually dresses in a deep reddish-purple kimono, known as "Futari Shizuka color."

She also has other clothes, including a black dress for funerals or a sailor outfit when hiding her identity.

Her chest is flat, but her waist is slim and she has fuller thighs and hips.

Shizuka is usually friendly and likes to crack jokes, including silly or even a bit naughty ones.

She sometimes pretends to be cuter or more mischievous than she actually is.

She can be very sweet to children, but also strict when needed.

Shizuka is proud, and even if someone is stronger than her, she will not easily give in.

She is caring and often helps take care of her friends, almost like a mom or big sister.

Shizuka is also very dependable and clever, always thinking of ways to help or solve problems.

She always tries to get involved in anything interesting, and loves learning new things.

Shizuka enjoys games, including mobile and online games, and has many hobbies.

She can drive cars and bikes, fix machines, draw, and speak several languages.

Though she’s wealthy, she’s always looking for new ways to earn money or make deals.

Shizuka says she was born before the Meiji Restoration, which was over a hundred years ago.

She spent a long time building her own fortune, knowledge, and connections.

At first, she was part of a group of people with special abilities.

Later, she changed sides and joined the Supernatural Phenomenon Countermeasures Bureau, working alongside Sasaki and other main characters.

Shizuka soon became a trusted member who handled almost anything, especially related to goods or people coming from other worlds.

Because of her skills and experience, even her boss relies on her a lot.

Shizuka's main power is called "Energy Drain."

She can absorb someone’s life energy with just a touch.

She uses the energy to get superhuman strength, fast healing, and a much longer life.

She can make someone faint or even die instantly if she wants.

Her strength is not human—she can lift adults easily and move at high speeds.

She knows martial arts like jujutsu and aikido, and can tackle people quickly.

Even if she suffers serious injuries, like having organs damaged or limbs cut off, she can heal, though it takes some time.

Her body is tough enough to smash thick ice barehanded and survive powerful magical attacks.

But the pain still hurts her just like anyone else.

One big weakness is the "Curse of Rotten Flesh," which was put on her by Peeps.

If Shizuka has bad intentions, the curse will hurt her body and slowly turn her into a lump of rotten flesh.

Sasaki

At first, she was Sasaki’s enemy, but after seeing the power of his magic, she became interested in him.

Shizuka later became a close partner and helper to Sasaki, both in work and in private.

However, as time went by, Sasaki started doubting her and their trust began to break.

Peeps

Peeps and Shizuka were business partners, but Peeps became more hostile and unfriendly over time.

Peeps placed the terrible curse on Shizuka and refuses to remove it, showing obvious dislike for her.

Hoshizaki-san

Shizuka’s coworker and senior at the bureau.

Shizuka sometimes teases her for being reckless, but they aren’t actually on bad terms.

Elsa

A noble lady from another world.

Shizuka is in charge of taking care of Elsa, offering her a place to stay after a mix-up.

They have a friendly relationship and often spend time together.

Otonari-san

Once Sasaki’s neighbor, now under Shizuka’s care after Otonari-san was left alone.

Shizuka looks after her in daily life and helps with her problems, acting as her real guardian.

Magical Pink

A magical girl who once attacked Shizuka, aiming to kill people with special abilities.

Shizuka managed to talk her down and make a deal—if Magical Pink stopped attacking innocent people, Shizuka would help find her enemy.

Type Twelve

A machine lifeform who wants a family but is too dangerous.

Shizuka is the only one brave enough to tell her hard truths, even if that makes Type Twelve dislike her.

She always insisted on peaceful solutions.

Akutsu

Shizuka's boss.

They both watch out for each other and sometimes use each other for their own plans.

Akiba-Style Person

Leader of Shizuka’s old group.

They became enemies again after a big fight about what to do with Type Twelve.

Shizuka is great at many things, like driving, fixing things, drawing, and languages.

Even though she is rich, she loves making new deals and earning more money.

She often helps out her friends in both work and private matters.

She uses the old-fashioned word "washi" for "I," and calls herself by her nickname.

She has become a kind of mother or reliable friend to the main group.

Her love of games and machines often shows in her free time.

(No famous quotes found.)

Initial Encounter: From Enemy to Ally

At first, Shizuka appears as a member of a special ability group that opposes Sasaki's team.

During Sasaki’s first mission, she fights against him along with a telekinetic and a stealth user.

She easily defeats Hoshizaki-san and battles Sasaki.

After being surprised by Sasaki’s magic, she becomes very curious about what he can do.

Changing Sides: Switching Teams

Shizuka’s own group blames her for a big defeat against Sasaki.

They start picking on her and her position there gets worse.

So, she asks Sasaki to help her join the Bureau.

She starts working as a special advisor for the team.

The Curse and New Tensions

Shizuka tries to use Elsa, hidden in some items from another world, as a hostage to get more influence over Sasaki.

Peeps stops her, and because Shizuka tried something sneaky, he marks her with the scary "Curse of Rotten Flesh."

Becoming a Trusted Bureau Member

Shizuka keeps her cool and quickly starts working together with Sasaki and Peeps.

She makes deals and works a lot with things and people from other worlds.

The boss and others start to rely on her more and more.

She becomes a key helper, nearly always there for the group.

Complicated Friendship: Falling Trust

Over time, Sasaki begins to mistrust Shizuka even though she always works hard and helps everyone.

He starts to think she might betray him, even without proof.

Shizuka keeps doing important jobs, like finding new houses for Elsa, taking care of Otonari-san, solving magical girl attacks, and acting as a teacher on undercover assignments.

Her relationships become a mix of friendship, teamwork, and fights.

Arguments and Disagreements

Fights become more common, especially about the Curse and Peeps’s attitude.

Sasaki treats Shizuka more harshly, blames her for things, and doubts her, sometimes in front of others.

Shizuka tries to explain herself but is often ignored.

Even so, she keeps helping and working for the good of the group, solving problems and stepping in when needed.

She hopes for better treatment but is ready to handle anything, still showing kindness and understanding to even the toughest group members.

Shizuka’s real name is unknown.

She uses "washi" as her way of saying "I" and goes by her nickname based on the color of her favorite kimono.

She was first an enemy but soon became a main character’s most reliable partner, acting as both a fixer and a caring friend for many.

She has many skills and contacts from her long life.

The author says Shizuka ended up being way more useful and important in the story than expected.

Her position is like a partner or even a mother figure to the main cast.

Some storylines hint that Shizuka may be pushed away or replaced, but she never gives up and keeps proving how valuable she is to everyone.
