Shizuru Ioroi (五百蔵 志鶴) is an exorcist of Ioroi Main Family. She is the second daughter and fourth child of Narumi Ioroi and Tamami Ioroi.

Appearance
Shizuru is a teenage girl of above average height with long blonde hair tied in two twin tails, dark skin, violet eyes and D cup breast. She also has a scar across her face. Her hair band consists two green/rose balls on each side.

When on missions, Shizuru usually wears a standard exorcist uniform. While attending Seiyouin Academy, she wears the standard uniform which is complete with a skirt with the Ioroi House crest.

For casual clothing, she wears a black shirt with tan shorts. She also like to wear T-shirts with encouraging words like "根性" (one's nature that can overcome suffering and acheive goals).

Personality
Shizuru has a tomboyish personality, as seen when she refereed to herself using a masculine word. She has a habit of looking down on the exorcists from the mainland, seeing them as weaklings that will die if they enter Magano on the Island.

However, despite this she does have a soft side, as seen when she cried out of embarrassment after she was saved by Rokuro. She appears to have developed feelings for him as seen when she caught a glimpse him of at Seiyouin Academy where she hid and began blushing.

Plot
Shizuru is introduced where she joins her father and a group of Exorcists on the trip to Magano. She reprimands her father for being to polite to Rokuro whom she tells that just because of the fancy title he was still a an exorcist from the mainland which doesn't mean he gets special treatment. She tells him her family (who she refers to in a masculine way) has been fighting exorcists for centuries and if he wants to play exorcist he should go home. Shizuru is subsequently scolded by her father who spanks her for talking in such manner.

In Magano, she aided her family and comrades in battle before going to look down on Rokuro when he was unable to stand in the other world. Her taunts prevented her from sensing a nearby Kegare, before being alerted by her father of the danger. Shizuru was pushed out of the way by Rokuro who she was surprised would save her despite her previous treatment of him. After Tenma Unomiya repelled the Kegare, Shizuru was shown blushing being unable to get the thought of her rescue out of her mind.

Sometime later, she caught a glimpse of Rokuro at Seiyouin Academy where she hid herself and began blushing due to having previously thought he was a middle schooler.

During a family outing, Shizuru is seen picking out weapons as her father scolds her for taking too long as she explains she is trying to pick out the right one. Rokuro then appears causing Shizuru to become flustered at seeing him and after he notices her he gets her name wrong and she corrects him. When Rokuro notes on the coincidence and their chemistry together, Shizuru shrugs this off by stating she is in higher class than him but is annoyed when he ignores her. Shizuru inquires on what Rokuro was buying and is told that it is his secret weapon in the games. Her mother and siblings then appear, Shizuru then gives her status as the second daughter when her siblings give their names and status in the family. She is then flustered when her father offers to let Rokuro join their house and let him marry her. She yells at her father stating she wouldn't marry a weakling like him and is annoyed when he gives a speechless look. Shizuru then leaves to eat with her family and is told by her family to tell her mother that he'll be late when Rokuro asks to talk with him.

During the time before Hadarae Castle Games, as deplicted in the second official novel, her roomate Mayura Amawaka ask her to train with her, as she is always friendly to Mayura. Shizuru refused as she would also attend the Game, being busy with training and even may match with Mayura.

Later during the Battle of Exorcists, she fought Sada Sakura but loses. Before her fight, she tell Rokuro about her determination and Rokuro cheer for her during her fight. She recovered while her older brother Gunki was fighting and delighted for his victory.

She later watches Rokuro fight Kankuro Mitosaka, while she was initially put off by his Shikigami's form, she is awed at its transformation and watches as he uses it to send the Heavenly Commander flying. She even cheered him on as he maintained the upper-hand in the battle.

 * Seven Hatred Bounding Chain (七恨縛鎖): An advanced version of Bonding Technique (止縛法), this technique not only stop the action of the opponent, but also can possibly seal the spell power.

Rokuro Enmado
Initially, she was hostile towards Rokuro simply because he was an exorcist from the mainland. She disregarded his title as a Twin Star and looked down on him when he was unable to anything in Magano. However, she was shocked when Rokuro saved her from Kegare despite her previous treatment towards him. Shizuru was left blushing at the thought of being saved by a mainland Exorcist.

It seems she developed feelings for him as she was blushing as a result of the experience. She later caught a glimpse of him at the Seiyouin Academy, hiding and blushing at seeing Rokuro again.

While Shizuru still looked down on his strength, she saw his true power as she watched him overwhelm Kankuro Mitosaka. This caused her to take back her previous views of him, which is seen with her cheering him on in the remainder of his battle. She then witnessed him the rest of the battle and watched as Rokuro emerged victorious, greatly impressing her as she saw he really was powerful.
