Miyamoto Shizuku

Miyamoto Shizuku (宮本静久) is Amachi Hitsugi's shinyuu. She is responsible for ringing the bell to signal the start of Hoshitori. When in uniform, she always wears a hachimaki.

Character
Shizuku usually comes across as a calm yet serious person, but anyone who’s known her long enough is aware that she is easily embarrassed and flustered, much to the amusement of her partner Hitsugi, whom she very much admires and cares for.

She has always been dead set on proving her strength and prowess, especially to her peers, and this has made her hard working, responsible, and attentive.

She is not cold by any means, though she is very polite doesn’t socialize or speak publicly as much as she might, given her position. She does care about others though, and is always excited to fight them and see different sides of them.

Shizuku can be silly, stupid, and airheaded sometime. She believes that she could beat her cold by doubling her effort by eat lots and run lots than usual and she's doing that in the middle of her fever. In the end, her temperature goes up several degrees.

Shizuku and Hitsugi have known each other since they were very young, and their bond has only grown stronger in the years that they’ve been partners, sword fighters, and people of power. Shizuku’s desire to prove herself, especially to Hitsugi, first emerged when they began playing together. Hitsugi would introduce a challenge, overcome it, and ask Shizuku to do the same. And, even if she didn’t necessarily want to, Shizuku would follow and overcome it as well. Over time, she learned that she could surpass any barrier, and this knowledge has served well to strengthen her up to date.

Sword Technique
Miyamoto's fighting style relies on quickness and stout defense. Like her model and namesake, the samurai Miyamoto Musashi, she utilizes a two-sword style, though in this case the second "sword" is her scabbard, held in her left hand.

Endeavors
Although she is not technically a dean, she plays a large part in running the academy, mostly by doing the things no one else wants to do, or that the President is too busy creating insane new laws to remember (filling out paperwork, signing documents, etc.) She is the Earth sword to Hitsugi’s Heaven, and they have been dueled for the top seat several times, and have never lost.

She and Hitsugi have dueled with Ensuu and Meiko, Claire and Minori, and, most importantly, Akira and Sae.

During the match between Claire and Minori, she was forced to duel Minori when Claire went after Hitsugi. Unworried by her two contenders, Shizuku put on a great performance accompanied by Hitsugi’s Hikaru GENJI music.
