Susuki

Susuki (ススキ) is a side character in Call of the Night. She is an independent vampire vigilante who has made it her mission to silence anyone who poses a threat to the prosperity of vampires and makes them stand out in society.

Appearance
Susuki has long, reddish hair which she ties to a ponytail with her eyes always being covered by her bangs. She has a athletic build, shown to be decently muscular in a flashback. Her clothes are mostly sports-themed, including tight, black pants with a wide, white stripe on one of her legs each, a sports bra and wristbands (in a flashback) and a pair of sneakers. In contrast to the rest of her clothes, she wears an oversized, white sweater. After her fight with Kou her sweater featured a hole, exposing her cleavage and a part of her back before being replaced by one of Kou's tracksuits and later another model of the same sweater

Personality
Susuki initially appears to be cold and emotionless, after becoming a vampire, she attempted to seek out as much strength as possible, prioritizing becoming stronger over all else. She says that combat among vampires is inherently unfair and is more than willing to fight dirty. Susuki has no tolerance for anyone who causes vampires to stand out in society, wanting vampires to be able to live out their lives as quietly as possible. She is willing to go to the extent of killing humans and vampires alike to protect the anonymity of vampires. Acting personally in order to curb the situations where vampires may be exposed to the world. Becoming confident that she would be able to beat any vampire who did not go through the extent to train themselves like she had.

However it was later revealed that Susuki is a very meek and frail person, as she cried upon being beaten by Kou. She holds major respect to anyone who is stronger then her, to the point of obeying and immediately falling in love with Kou after she lost in a fight to him, giving him the nickname "Kou Pippi". She values strength above all else, but is also loyal and principled, as seen when she said she was willing to put her own life on the line for Akira, and her refusing to drink blood directly from humans or create any underlings.

She is also shown to have a knack for cute things, as seen when she uses a soy sauce fish shaped bottle to contain blood to regenerate faster during her fight against Azami.

Kou
Susuki was initially confused by Kou since she could sense both human and vampire inside of him. As they fought, Susuki noticed that he wasn't used to how vampires fight, thinking of him as an inexperienced baby. After losing to a fight for the first time ever to Kou, Susuki promptly falls in love with him, and asks to call him Kou Pippi. Susuki insists on training Kou and turning him into a great vampire, no matter what it takes. She doesn't want to turn him into her servant because it has the chance to kill Kou. Her respect and admiration for Kou is seen when she stated that she would put her life on the line for Akira, when Kou mentioned her as a friend of his, as well as quickly becoming friendly and affectionate to all of his friends. While others looked down on Kou "playing dirty" in a fight, Susuki told Kou's opponent that it was his fault for leaving an opening.

Azami
They first met when Susuki tried to kidnap Anko while Azami tried to protect her. She was aware of who he was, explained her motives and told him that, despite them sharing similar goals, he was too soft in his methods, announcing that she was planning to kill Kiku, then Anko and then Kou, Nazuna and Akira. Susuki wasn't interested in fighting Azami and told him to surrender since he wasn't very strong. The fight was brought to a quick end as Susuki struck Azami from below, breaking his spine. She then lectured him further on vampiric combat and sadistically remarked that breaking his neck would buy her even more time before Azami regenerated.

After joining Kou and proposing to train him, Susuki doesn't hesitate to accept Azami into her training as well, telling him that he's got good reflexes.

Abilities

During their fight, Azami admitted to being inferior to her in strength, and she was able to easily outpace, outmaneuver and eventually, overpower both Nazuna and Azami in their respective fights.

Quotes

 * (To Nazuna and Kou) "I though I needed more power for whenever I got into a fight with another vampire. That's why I underwent several forms of training and I had the confidence that I would never lose to any vampires who sat on their toes and did nothing to improve."
 * (To Akira) "I am Susuki-Pippi... I am willing to risk my whole life to protect you for your safety...
 * (To Nazuna, Kou, Akira, Azami and Anko) "Vampires can't suck the blood of humans they fell in love with."
 * (To Nazuna, Kou, Akira, Azami and Anko) "Vampires never fall in love. To them, it's always a fame of making others fall in love with them. But i'm sure they don't do it because they're aware of this rule"
