Izuna Hatsuse



is a Werebeast girl and the former ambassador of the Werebeast race to Immanity. After Sora and Shiro forced the werebeasts to join the Commonwealth of Elkia, Izuna was directed by Miko to follow and learn from them. Sora and Shiro have a habit of petting her fur (tail) yet she seems to enjoy it (much to the chagrin of her grandfather). Steph has noted that she actually shares similarities to Sora and Shiro, such as lacking common sense, being arrogant towards others, and being extremely smart and competent at gaming.

Appearance
Similar to other Werebeasts, Izuna has a combination of animal and human traits, with her having fox-like ears and a fluffy tail. She has dark purple hair and chestnut eyes (black hair and black eyes in the light novel). Her pupils are vertically slitted, similar to those of a cat.

When Izuna uses her "Blood Break" ability, her tail grows longer and all the fur on her body turns red. She also has a red symbol on her forehead.

Personality
She is adored by Sora and Shiro for being extremely cute, and they love petting her fur. Likewise, Izuna seems to share the same fondness towards them and enjoys being petted. She even mentions once that she prefers the siblings' petting techniques over her grandfather, Hatsuse Ino. The younger trio would develop a sibling-like tie. She is still learning the Imanity language and has a habit of saying "Desu" (please/thank you in dubbed anime) after everything she says in an attempt to make it sound more polite.

She mostly exhibits an innocent personality pertaining to her age yet is very competent at playing games to the point of representing the Werebeasts in national games against other races. In the English translated light novels and anime, she has a habit of unknowingly cursing without actually knowing what the words mean.

Before meeting Shiro and Sora, she never had fun in games, as she was trained to win, not to seek enjoyment.

Strengths
She is a rare and unique individual, possessing both the incredible physical abilities found in all Werebeasts and the rare Blood Break ability, which is only found in a select few Werebeast individuals. Her Blood Break form is a fearsome sight to behold, with her muscles bulging and her senses heightened, but she is only able to remain in that form for a few seconds before the risks of death become too great.

Despite this, she is not to be underestimated, for she has an incredible ability to learn at an astonishing rate, especially when it comes to anything game-related. For instance, she was able to learn how to read the Imanity language from a gamebook overnight while Steph slept, and while she is still not be fluent to able to speak the language yet, her quick mind and determination make it only a matter of time before she becomes fluent.

Weakness
Despite being considered "mature" among the Werebeasts at the age of eight, she is still naïve in adult-related subjects.

Quotes
"Hey! Hey you, didja kick the bucket, please?"

"No, I would neverm ever feel that way... So many people are going to suffer because--because I lost today..."

"Why--Why did--I have to go and smile that, thank you?! Because I did, the Eastern Federation will be taken over! [Sobs] And so many people will--[whimpers] And it's all my fault! For having too much fun and not winning!"

Trivia

 * Among Izuna's numerous sibings and relatives (offsprings of her grandfather and 30 "grandmothers".), Izuna was the only one who inherited Kekkai from Ino.
 * She lived with her parents in a residential area, with her grandfather visiting her daily.
 * Izuna never showers or bathes unless forced too. She typically will just lick herself clean.
