Subaru Mitejima (
Appearance
Subaru appears to be a young and gorgeous woman with ankle-length blonde hair that has ringlets at the end where there are pink side-locks with bangs swept to the right side and she is always seen with both hers eyes closed, but her eyes are sometimes opened where it is shown to be a blue color.
She wears a white frilly gown with pink lining, black gloves and a matching large white sun hat decorated with a large pink bow, giving her an image of a high-class lady.
Personality
Subaru is a calm, cheerful, elegant and friendly person who is rarely seen serious or angry where she enjoys teasing Rokuro Enmado and Benio Adashino's relationship.
She is a tad perverted, as she frequently gropes her fellow female exorcists such as Mayura Otomi and Yuzuru Amawaka, due to their well endowed figures.
Plot
Manga
Subaru is seen with Sakura taking over Mayura's Job dealing with the impurities.
In the island tournament, she is matched up against Mayura and though they were meant to fight Subaru teased the latter by fondling her, to Mayura's dismay. Subaru told her not to be so nervous and tells her it's alright to attack but Mayura refuses demanding for her to put armor on herself. The heavenly commander refuses and starts attacking repeating that it's alright for her to attack her if she so wishes to, to which Mayura; after getting hit by her attacks; says that she'll end up killing her if she gets serious. This act was met with jeers from the crowd, particularly the Mitejima house who stated Mayura had no chance against their leader. Subaru asks Mayura why she was fighting anyway since her homeland had nothing to worry about but laughed after hearing the girl's reason was to keep her friends from being sad. She obliged Mayura's request to fight back and soon overwhelmed the young girl who realized her arrogance was what led to her defeat. Subaru declares aloud that she will take Mayura as her disciple and that she can still get even stronger. Subaru also quietly tells herself: 'It's possible that one day, I might have you kill that child in my place'.
