Suzuna Shintani (鮎沢 紗奈, Ayuzawa Suzuna) (née Ayuzawa) is a student at Seika High School and the younger sister of Misaki Ayuzawa.
Appearance[]
Suzuna looks a lot like Minako Ayuzawa (Suzuna's mother) and Misaki Ayuzawa (Suzuna's older sister) with shoulder-length black hair that is tied in two low ponytails and amber eyes. She is quite beautiful that she is considered a raw diamond by Tenryū Arashiyama. Suzuna has an average height and can be seen wearing many outfits, including a pink blouse, a yellow parka and her middle school uniform. Soon after, she can be seen wearing the Seika High School standard female uniform as she joins the school.
Personality[]
Suzuna is very apathetic and shows little to no emotion, though is actually rather perceptive and known for her deadpan humor. When she gets scared she completely freezes. She appears to be mature for her age, and is very frank, as seen when she openly declares Hinata Shintani's crush on her sister, in which Minako Ayuzawa (Suzuna's mother) agrees. She also claims that Hinata is easy to read. It was later that Suzuna has a deepening affection towards Hinata. Suzuna is a calm, straightforward and passive person. Her hobby is winning a prize from the magazines, and somehow she always wins. She entered Seika High School because she thinks family should always stick together and because it is cheaper to go to Seika.
Background[]
Suzuna is the daughter of Sakuya Ayuzawa and Minako Ayuzawa and the younger sister of Misaki Ayuzawa.
She and Hinata Shintani have been friends since childhood and affectionately address each other as "Hamburger-kun" and "Cheese-chan", and came up with a "special fusion" called "Cheese Filled Hamburger", although Suzuna claims the fusion has lost its fun as Hinata lost weight.
When she was younger, her father left the family to find his friend because he was shouldering his debt, but unlike her sister Misaki, she does not seem to develop a grudge towards men in general. Instead, she develops a fondness for raffles which would later go on to be an obsession. With an unrivaled luck in winning, Suzuna joins raffles with prizes she believes could help her family (she usually enters with food as the prize). She also keeps tabs on shops that are about to have sales on certain items so she could buy them at a cheaper price.
Unlike her sister, Suzuna excels in cooking due to Misaki was always working, leaving Suzuna with making meals. She learnt some tips from their dad, Sakuya, who is a highly skilled chef. When she was in high school, she always gave Hinata a treat and some snacks she made. She enjoys cooking the most.
Plot[]
Suzuna is usually seen home, talking with Misaki Ayuzawa about contests. She has a kind of hobby of entering the contests and always winning prizes for them too. She usually brings up about the fact that Misaki and Sakuya Ayuzawa (Suzuna's father) left them, leaving them with the harsh life they have right now. Her first appearance occurs late in the manga, while she is a frequent recurring character in the anime. Later, Suzuna attends Seika High School as a freshman student[1]. While she is instantly popular with the male population, most of the boys are wary of her being Misaki's sister and they fear that her easy-going personality is a ruse. The Moron Trio were surprised to see Suzuna as Misaki's sister and remarked she was cute much to the annoyance of Aoi Hyōdō.
