Shizuma Hanazono

Shizuma Hanazono is the deuteragonist in Strawberry Panic!. She is St. Miator's Etoile and is known to be very popular. She is also the upperclassman of Nagisa Aoi. Shizuma is a tall and very beautiful girl with wavy thigh-length silver hair that is tied up in a ponytail with bangs hanging freely over her face, light green eyes (although there are times where they're depicted as either yellow or gold) and a feminine stature. She is mostly commonly seen in her school uniform, but is also seen wearing feminine outfits outside of school. Prior to the start of the series, when Shizuma first became the Etoile of St Miator with Kaori Sakuragi, her personality back then was first seen as very cheerful, lively, and a bit playful. Which is a stark contrast compared to the more serious and dedicated Miyuki Rokujo. However, as soon as when Kaori passes away from the illness she's had since birth, Shizuma began to isolate herself from others and even lock up her feelings as a result. At the point when Shizuma had first met Nagisa Aoi, and that they gradually become close throughout the story, her behavior began to change once again, much to the student council's surprise. Including Miyuki. Over the course of the story, Shizuma is generally seen as the cool, calm, collected, as well as being hard to read and predict Etoile amongst her peers. Aside from being seen as indifferent and popular amongst everyone, she's also seen as lazy and prefers to skip out on the workload that comes with being the Etoile. Something of which annoys Miyuki Rokujō greatly. She also has a kind of playgirl attitude as seen in the series. Once, Nagisa saw Shizuma in the woods with another student whom she was about to kiss but was interrupted and the student had ran away with a flushed face.
