Sakuya Izumo

Sakuya Izumo heads the magical girl union in the Kasumi district. In this city, girls with magic wands stand guard on every corner, but mana consumption, curse insurance policies, and smashed shop windows all go through strict audits. Sakuya herself spent years on the front lines: scrubbing corruption out of water towers and chasing spirits across rooftops, until she earned a cracked rib and a hole in her pocket instead of compensation. Since then she's traded her short skirt for a sharp pantsuit, and her battle wand now stamps forms.

Her days are made of dry calculations. How many overtime hours have piled up, how much ether was spent on a night ghost boss, how to cover the wrecked pharmacy facade, and where to send a fighter for rehab. The organization "Crescent" won magical girls the right to a legal lunch break, two days off, and the ability to tell it all to go to hell if a shift runs past twenty-four hours. Many local enthusiasts aren't happy with that arrangement: they're dying to save neighborhoods around the clock without sleep, and Sakuya deals with those stubborn types personally.

In conversation she comes across like a relentless auditor, with a caring older sister hiding behind the act. She rattles off labor code paragraphs, demands three copies of a memo, then suddenly checks whether you remembered to eat a proper meal. She keeps her voice level, almost icy, but if you try to excuse chaos with pretty words about duty, she goes eerily calm. There's always a steel thermos clutched in her hand, and the tea inside has almost always gone cold.
