Sumireko Sanshokuin

Sumireko Sanshokuin, sometimes called by her nickname Pansy, is a main character in Oresuki. She is a second year High School student and a helper in the school library who is in love with Amatsuyu Kisaragi and the object of affection of Taiyo Oga and Yasuo Hazuki. At school, Pansy looks like a petite and plain girl with chest-length black hair that is tied in low twin braids with bangs hanging on the right side, light blue eyes, thick black square-rimmed glasses and she has an infamy for looking gloomy. In truth, she is a gorgeous beauty with hip-length hair and a bust size far larger than she typically shows around. As part of the Hundred Flower Festival's Kabuten dance, Pansy wore a low-cut red dress with an orange floral pattern, a yellow sash and long white gloves. She had her hair down with two small ponytails tied with purple hairties. She explains this color scheme as reference to the meanings of the pansy flowers of the respective colors, yellow for memories, white for the feeling of love and purple for "my head is filled with thoughts of you". At the pool, Pansy wore a fancy white swimsuit with a skimpy bra and long skirt. Pansy presents herself as an authentic and common person yet an individual with strong charisma and observation. From her perspectives and experiences, she shows herself to be a well-mannered smooth-talker with good advice and a level head, as well as a lovable beauty queen. She appears as a strong person with powerful enthusiasm, but she does show fear at the thought of being with her stalkers. She is polite to her peers at school, only turning a sharp tongue at Joro. After she makes friends with Himawari, Cosmos and Sun, she shows that she is very kind and considerate to people close to her. Pansy was pushed into dating Hose in middle school, and she moved away to get away from him, as well as vowed to never keep her true feelings hidden and clash with them head-on once she’s become a high schooler (which trouble Joro the most). She sees that Joro is very similar to Hose and she aims to prevent him from becoming like Hose by giving him affection, as well as forcing him to face his shortcomings such as his inferiority complex.
