Susuki

Susuki (ススキ) is a side character in Call of the Night.

Appearance
Susuki has long, reddish hair which she ties to a ponytail with her eyes always being covered by her bangs. She wears an oversized sweater, tight pants and a pair of sneakers. After her fight with Kou her sweater featured a hole, exposing her cleavage and a part of her back before being replaced by a tracksuit.

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 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
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. Believing that having Kou as a lover would be much better then having him as a servant. 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.

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"
