Ikaruga Suginami

Ikaruga Suginami is the 35th Platoon's technological expert and Takeru Kusanagi's oldest friend who was formerly affiliated with the Alchemists as she is a product of the Suginami Design Children Project. Ikaruga is a beautiful young woman with waist-length brown hair that is constantly unkempt, most likely because she rarely sleeps, deep purple eyes, her body is maturely grown as she is the tallest female member of the platoon as her body is maturely grown and she is constantly seen with mint candy in her mouth. While she wears the academy's skirt and shirt, she replaces the green jacket with her white lab-coat. Due to the embedded dark elf cell using the Lost Matrix, Ikaruga is able to temporarily change herself into a mythical dark elf where her hair turns white and her skin becomes grey with the addition of her ears becoming pointed. In the Epilogue, Ikaruga cuts her hair into a significantly shorter style to most likely differentiate herself her genealogical family and wears a regular researcher's outfit and skirt. Ikaruga is an extremely laid-back individual with habits that resemble a shut in and she speaks with a knowledgeable yet relaxed tone, she rather has a tough time that she rarely cares to add any honorifics or speak in a tone that would be considered respectful. She states that she doesn't care for normal people and only took interest in the ones who "stick out". Ikaruga mostly sticks to the sidelines during her teammate's banters to pursue her own work and only chimes in when there was a fight that needed to be broken up, a sexual joke or moment to capitalize on, or when her expertise was needed. She notably has the most "maternal" instincts on the team and looks out for the others as much as Takeru Kusanagi does. This trait no doubt stems from her past regrets during her departure from the Alchemists
