Shizuku Kawakami
CharacterShizuku Kawakami is a junior at the Academy's training school and a close friend of the Yasuhisa twins, Kurona and Nashiro. Chronically ill and physically frail, she hoped to support the CCG despite her body failing her, and she died young of her condition.
Appearance
Small and gentle in build, Shizuku has a soft, unassuming look. Her black hair falls to about neck length and is gathered into low pigtails, with the fringe parted so it sweeps to either side. She is drawn with warm brown eyes.
Personality
A perpetual smile defined her. Classmates remembered her as unfailingly kind and good-natured, someone whose cheer carried through even as her health declined. Though her weak body barred her from frontline work, she was set on finding some way to be useful to the Commission.

History
Shizuku attended the second Academy alongside the twins Nashiro and Kurona Yasuhisa, who kept a fond memory of her sunny, generous nature. Her fragile constitution ruled out any path toward becoming a ghoul investigator, so she instead set her sights on serving as a support staffer who could assist with cases from behind the lines. That ambition went unrealized; her illness claimed her while the sisters were roughly fifteen.
