Sumire

Sumire (スミレ Sumire) is the deuteragonist of Baoh the Visitor. She is a young girl with psychic abilities which Dress seeks to exploit for their own gain.

APPEARANCE
Sumire is a young girl with light hair tied in a ponytail. Sumire has big oval eyes with long eyelashes, fitting her youth, and also thick eyebrows.

Sumire loosely wears a plain light dress over a dark shirt, and sneakers.

Sumire also keeps a pet marsupial named Sunny Stefen Nozzo with her. Nozzo is often seen standing on Sumire's shoulder.

PERSONALITY
Sumire can be summed up as a bright but impertinent little girl.

Sumire is remarkably clever for two reasons. The first is her natural resourcefulness; for instance she was able to use the items in her cell to make an elaborate trap and trick Sophine and she is proactive in acting out plans for her and Ikuro to make money. The second reason is that her psychic powers give her an edge in foreseeing dangers and predict the next best course of action. Her strong intuition allowed her to figure out that she was being drugged but also that Ikuro was a trustworthy partner.

Sumire is also quite rude and has little respect of authority. She is remarkably impertinent to adults she doesn't like, notably Sophine who was her handler but also the old man who she insulted repeatedly. Perhaps because of her youth, Sumire is also indifferent to the law and doesn't hesitate to steal or cheat at gambling, excusing it by the urgency of her situation. However, Sumire has a soft heart and wept when a women and her child were murdered by one of Dress' monsters.

Sumire shows a great deal of determination against Dress. She is consistently defiant against them and whenever she is captured makes it a point to escape or make her captors' life hell, but could also endure the torture of being exposed to deafening sound for hours without screaming.

While she likes her pet Nozzo, she is also disgusted at Nozzo for licking her face after eating bugs.

Sumire seems to have a crush on Ikuro Hashizawa due to his looks and her knowledge of his good heart. Even seven years after Ikuro's disappearance, Sumire eagerly awaits his return.
