Special technique :
Bumblebee war art; Hexagonal Death
Sasuyo concentrates six rays of light from out of "*"-shaped magic enhancer in her back, then releases a huge energy wave.


Square-faced Sasuyo doesn't even smile (she is smiling in her "victory" win-lose graphics to express an ironical gap between her usual). However, in the game, she momentarily bursts into smile saying "So sometimes even Tamako-san cries." upon seeing Tamako shedding tears, "Iii waaas so scaaared".
Since her childhood, she had been feeling resentment against the way Bumblebee clans love banding together and alcohols.
While structure of her speeches are polite (in Japanese, her speeches usually end by "desu"s), she uses hurting words like "fool" and "wimp" without hesitation, causing a little bit of her isolation from society. However, whether she really loves seclusion is doubtful since her relationship with childtime friends Nomu and Kiru (drunken all the time) never ceased. In the game, they have taken Sasuyo out and are following her.
One year earlier, she applied for regular troops of Hypnotic City, ignoring "that sucks!" protests of her cohorts. Then she was shocked to hear that the troop was not meant for real combats. Sasuyo and Tamako shares a same room in the barrack, Sasuyo sleeping in lower bed in one 2-storied bed. Tamako found a like in Sasuyo at first sight, and is sticking around Sasuyo since then. Though Sasuyo finds Tamako rather annoying, she attends Tamako when they go to shopping during their day off from duty. Sasuyo did punch Tamako when Tamako sneaked into Sasuyo's bed and licked back of her neck.
Relation with court people other than Tamako is scant. Though Ginji does treat Sasuyo warmly, Sasuyo is not bright enough to understand his warmness. Sasuyo especially hates Kamako who purely loves killing.

She is really sensible in "win/lose" subject, allowing to her fall into Marquis's ploy, the "sexy martial arts match" in the game. Thick Bumblebee blood in her is still visible when she tries to fight back with gimmick costume which resemble male genital.
She roars like a beast when she fights (on ir any win/lose subjects). Her style of fight is rough and power-oriented, occasioanaly concentrating her mental to speartip and then releasing death ray.
On the other hand, she has cute habit of crying loudly when she is hard-pressed.

Though Sasuyo's clothing, boots and shield in the pictures are part of Loyal Phalanx uniform, the "*"-like stuff she carries in her back is magic enhancer she bought in flea market. Also, her spear is in fact a simple wooden stick, with a speartip of pure blue energy (Bumblebees have abilities to turn their psyche into blades). Speartips leave traces when she swings spear, and also she can transform speartip into long seven-branched form.
Though she is dressed i copper-colored bikini when she is in her homeland, her off-duty clothes is a dull gym suit.

This character has "win-lose graphics".

About drawing :
While her arms and legs are exposed in above drawings, Loyal Phalanx uniform is made out of white and thick fabric, like that of wet-suits in fact, so I would appreciate if arms and thighs are white.
She wears no gloves. Her shield in her left arm is hacked short so she can use her left hand to employ spear.
Tips of her boots are facing up, like those of Turkish boots.
Bumblebees can fly around a little, but "*"-like stuff in Sasuyo's back that presses down her wings disables her from flying. Let one of her hands hold the "*" when you draw her flying.
Refer to kabuki actor or Tenchi Muyo! anime when you draw her hairs.

Note her breasts are infact pitiful(smile), measuring 79 cm.
If you remove the protector which covers her forehead and cheeks, her hairs hang down over her face, giving her eerie barbaric look.

From designer :
I really like a character called Reia who appeaed in the game "Fighter's Ragnarok" (see here for details), and I shamelessly asked author of the game to draw Sasuyo.
Sasuyo was initially meant to be a quite important personage, but Tamako, who was invented as Sasuyo's friend had much more outstanding personality, so Sasuyo's role is far more subtle now. You can even say purpose of Sasuyo's being is for Tamako to consider, "I am uneasy about Sasuyo, I must be at her side and protect her". Maybe my setting that she is opposing the way of her clan, unlike other characters who are supposed to be typical of clans they belong, isn't visible.
"A character who never smiles and sometimes utters insults" is a well-used motif since for Rurirui in Nadesico the anime (more earlier, Gal Force), but I do not think Sasuyo is a successful attempt.
Though Sasuyo is a little pride-filled all the time, but in a real decisive situation, her body quivers helplessly and she cannot fight. She is that kind of flawed character.

I initially developed her inspired by a speech "I will get rid of you here." from one of bosses in Gaiapolis, the Konami arcade release.
