• Biography: Sumiko is one of the many ½ merfolk born to Junichiro and Palutena, coming 3 weeks after Adelpha was born, but a week before Lysimache was born. As she grew up, Sumiko often pondered what she wanted to do occasionally, until she noticed her sisters Therese, Hiromi, and Teruko, engaging in shrine maiden work. While Sumiko was accepted, she had trouble learning the ropes and understanding how to properly craft ofudas, yet Therese managed to help her through all that with ease, and at the same time: Teaching her how to harness the light like she does. However, she took her final holy using lessons from Elpida, developing her own style of using the light so that it doesn’t mirror Elpida’s. Her days of melee fighting started one day when while tending to the family shrine by herself, Sumiko was unexpectedly approached by an unruly ogre, causing her to go into a huge fright as the ogre had plans for Sumiko, and they weren’t pretty. She immediately snagged the nearest thing she could find, which was a Bo Staff her father had patented recently, using it wildly to fend off her oafish attacker. While she succeeded at holding the beast at bay, it was not until she spotted a naginata and used that to deliver the finishing blow, impaling the brute in its head, killing it instantly. When noticed by her father, he found that she had slain the ogre herself. After helping Sumiko recover from her shock from the ordeal, Sumiko was then helped to wield the Bo and naginata more efficiently, yet was taught the way of Bōjutsu and Naginatajutsu, even though the training was a rough one. But Sumiko refused to quit despite this. In time, she mastered both combat arts and it was decided she should travel with him and Teruko to the Arcana Heart Universe for a final exam to see if her training paid off. While there, she, along with Juni and Teruko, made friends with the resident Kasuga family (Of whom the family group met first upon arrival), and became quick friends with Maori as her father did. Nonetheless, Sumiko partook in the many fights that the Arcana Heart Universe had to offer, and her training was shown to have paid off. During her time there, she forged a pact with the Arcana of Moon, Elune, whereas her sister Teruko forged one with Elune’s sister Apala, but this is only after their mistress, Athena, pledged to lend her power to Juni after she was defeated by him after many years of searching for a mortal who could best her in combat. Sumiko is about as gentle and caring as her parents, which is to be expected from any child born in Juni’s family. However, Sumiko is also shy around new people. So much, she tends to bury her face into her father when faced with someone new, which often leads to difficulty in making friends in the Arcana Heart universe. She loves anything considered highly cute and has often gotten together with Mana, Chorale, and Elegy for a showing of the Hello Kitty and Hamtaro animes (Both of which she’s a big fan of). If there’s one evil she wishes to eradicate forever, it’s pedophilia. She shows no mercy to anyone who is attracted to small children. Owns the most Hello Kitty dolls.
• Abilities: Being ½ mermaid, Sumiko can enter her mermaid form at any time she’s in the water and has complete control of when it activates, often choosing for it to be active only in the sea, lakes, rivers, etc. She never has it active while in the bathtub, or shower stall. Sumiko parallels to her sister Teruko who fights with two magic types and one physical weapon. Sumiko fights using one magic type, and two physical weapons. She is a practitioner of the Holy Arts when it comes to magic, even infusing the magic in ofudas to make them quite damaging and stronger in repelling demons. In terms of melee, Sumiko likes to keep her distance and therefor fights using a Bo Staff, and a naginata. Both of which fit her preference extremely well, and she is an empress in the arts of Bōjutsu, and Naginatajutsu, yet she will swap to one or the other when the need arises. She has an affinity for the Arcana of Moon Elune. With Elune’s power, Sumiko gains increased evasion and can turn invisible, making for a tricky target to attack. However, the effects are more affective in dark areas, or if the area is just well-shaded during the day. Her specials, super, and critical are as follows.
o Front flip Slasher: Sumiko swaps to her Bo and somersaults in the air with her staff in tow. The attack ends with a downward smack from the staff. Can’t be used if sinking on a quicksand-themed battlefield.
o Cross Combo: Sumiko arms her naginata, then strikes with a series of cross cutting slashes.
o Pole Dance Kick: Sumiko will start this move by grabbing her opponent. If she succeeds, she will smack the opponent away with her butt, then drive her staff, or naginata into the earth, and proceed to spin on it, legs stretched out, and kick her opponents away while spinning on the pole weapon she has active.
o Holy Storm: Sumiko’s Super Attack. She channels light magic in her hands, and then throws it high into the air. The light then rains down as damaging beams. A total of 10 beams are shot down.
o Moonlight Assault: Sumiko’s Critical Heart. Sumiko harnesses the energies of Elune and sends forth a rain of moonlight onto her foes. If the rays stun her opponent, Sumiko will actively run to her stunned opponent, and pounds them with her butt for even more damage. In total, 20 rays of moonlight are called forth.
