Suzuki Sonoe

Suzuki Sonoe (鈴木園絵) is a sword-bearing student at Tenchi Academy. Her shinyuu is Aida Shouko.

Character
Sonoe's major accomplishment in the series is not to disappear from it, having taken her turn as generic rival/villain. She and her shinyuu are Hayate and Ayana's first opponents in the Hoshitori. She bears a grudge against Ayana for an embarrassing defeat dealt to her while Ayana was still paired with Someya Yukari, and takes this out on her by tripping her in the cafeteria. This leads to the duel between them, as well as to Hayate's cover being blown.

Volume 1

 * She trips and verbally confronts Ayana, then attempts to attack her with a sword, but is stopped by Miyamoto (78-84). She is offered the chance to avoid the penalty associated with drawing one's sword outside of the Hoshitori by beating Hayate and Ayana in a special one-off duel, to be treated as Hayate's entrance exam (90). Despite the unusual advantage of their opponents' wrists being chained together, Sonoe and Shouko are defeated easily (109, 112-120, 123, 125-127, 129-130).
 * Sonoe's Swordbearer Register file (such as it is) appears on page 150.
