Personality[]
Manga[]
Her behavior is fun and cheeky; however, she is also shown to be observant and philosophical during her interaction with humans. Suzu seemingly has a tendency to switch between her intelligent, philosophical personality to a flamboyant, hyper excitable personality in rapid change, especially when she finds something or someone who piques her interest. She also expresses curiosity in humans due to her claiming having never meet any and has not shown the typical desire of impurities to slaughter humans for pleasure. She is also very perverted, as she used her feminine charms in attempt to seduce Rokuro, though it fails. She enjoys needling at her opponents sensitive spots, as she teased Benio and Mayura about their jealously at her interaction with Rokuro.
Anime[]
She is similar to her manga version in that she's very flamboyant, and wild spoken, often bursting into playing heavy metal songs.
History[]
Suzu is descendant from a family of Basara who have special duties to help maintain the village in Outcast Valley, as such, unlike a majority of residences in the village, Suzu's Enchanted Power was never sealed.
Her family's main duty was the maintenance and use of the Interlayer Transporter, a device used by the Basara of Outcast Valley to quickly travel across Magano's layers instantly. With them mainly using it to acquire special supplies needed for the village.
Plot[]
Manga[]
She is one of the new Basara to have appeared.
Suzu is confronted by Rokuro, Benio and Mayura. Suzu incapacitates the exorcists accompanying them with her music. She is then attacked by Rokuro but evades him. Suzu confronts Rokuro and states she sensed their presence, despite them hiding their powers.
Suzu is intrigued by Rokuro says he likes her music, comparing it to a love confession. However, she disturbs Rokuro with her words and they battle with him accusing her slaughtering other exorcists. Taking offense, Suzu declares she never killed a human and remarks Rokuro is the first human she has seen.[1] Although confused by her attitude, Rokuro wonders how a Basara can evolve if Suzu has not killed any exorcists.[2]
Suzu soon overpowers Rokuro and makes an unsuccessful attempt to seduce him with her feminine charms. Rokuro then announces he has a wife named Benio, as Suzu points out the jealous Benio and Mayura. Suzu is attacked by Mayura before Benio tells Rokuro they are doing Resonance. Suzu emerges with minor wounds but her top and most of her arm is destroyed. Suzu realizes they are the Twin Stars and though she states she should kill them, she has other plans. Suzu then questions with the death of Sakanashi why they have awakened as Great Yang. After giving her name, Suzu escapes while tauntingly telling Rokuro that she will see him again.
When Kamui led Rokuro through Magano, he takes him to Outcast Valley, a village of Basara. She is initially annoyed that he brought an exorcist to their domain. Suzu became delighted to see it is Rokuro who she charges at with an embrace.

However, beings with powerful Enchanted Powers such as members of the Twelve Guardians and Twin Star Exorcists are seemingly immune from this spells effects.
