Misuzu Sonokata

Misuzu Sonokata (其方美鈴) is the heroine of ēlDLIVE. She is an ēlDLIVE officer at the Solar System District Station and a second-year middle schooler at Shirobori Middle School.  

Appearance
Misuzu is a fair-skinned girl who is quite popular in her school for her beauty with chin-length grayish-blonde tan hair that has bangs swept to the left side and purple eyes.

Like Chuuta Kokonose, she usually wears the Shirobori Middle School uniform that consists of a white shirt with orange and white stripes around the collar and cuffs, and a checkered red skirt. Aside from her uniform, she wears her blue female ēlDLIVE uniform with white gloves and white shoes.

Starting from Season 4, she starts to wear a silver, crescent shaped barrette given to her by Dr. Love that acts as a SPH curtain that helps her block Chuuta's smell. Before that, she wore a pair of purple nose clips.

Personality
Misuzu is a no-nonsense person who takes almost everything seriously, especially when it comes about her duty as an ēlDLIVE officer. She is straight-forward on telling others of what she feels and has sharp tongue with no toleration for what she deems unnecessary or ridiculous, particularly Chuuta Kokonose. An example of this is she occasionally says that Chuuta is unsuit to be an ēlDLIVE officer, but starts to warm-up to him a little. However, she does have a kind side that she rarely shows. She takes everything seriously because she genuinely wishes for peace and will show concern for her fellow ēlDLIVE members. And once she start to acknowledge someone, she will give him the praise that he deserves.

History
Misuzu's past is currently a mystery. At some point in her life, she was forced to take part in Dr. Love's Taklamakan Program, in which an SPH generating organ was transplanted into her. This procedure, however, caused the balance of her body to crumble and made her lose six months' worth of memories, and thus does not remember being part of the program. She was forced to rely on drugs in order to survive.

In Season 5, she mentioned that she resented her father and the path he chose for her, which is the reason she became a ēlDLIVE officer.

She joined ēlDLIVE around the same time as Veronica Borowczyk and Nina Mikhailovna Pavlova (Ninotchka). Her father followed her there to try to stop her from joining up, but she ignored him. Veronica, noticing the commotion, asked her why did she ignore her father, and this started an argument between them until Ninotchka showed up to them. From then on they became a group.

Season 1
Misuzu was ordered by Laine Brick some time ago to observe Chuuta Kokonose at Shirobori Middle School as he is a potential candidate to be an ēlDLIVE member. She encounters Chuuta while the two are in Home Ec class, only glaring at him, and later when overhearing him saying something perverted to Dolugh she calls him a pervert and tells him to die without leaving any traces.

She later appears behind Laine Brick when Chuuta is transferred by Chips to the Solar System District Station and is revealed to be an officer of ēlDLIVE. Misuzu objects when Laine asks Chuuta to take the admission test to become an official member of ēlDLIVE because in her point of view, he mumbles to himself constantly, is a pervert, and lacks any team experience because he's always been alone. Misuzu gets into an argument with Chuuta, culminating with him calling her annoying by accident; she thinks he'll run home crying;  Laine takes this as him accepting the test.

Misuzu leaves for the ēlDLIVE Earth branch office with Chuuta following; when he remarks that the base is dreary, she says that it's only meant for transfer and asks if he's serious about work. When the two arrive in the bridge they meet Chief Laine, who's about to go to bed but orders Misuzu to take Chuuta on a tour of the station.

Misuzu gives Chuuta a tour of the station, showing him the medical bay, investigation room, and the various departments, including their own: the criminal investigation department, which has six divisions; she tells him that he's in the Second Division with her and Chips, and that their boss is Section Chief Madigan, but that if he sees him, he should run away. Suddenly, an alarm rings through the station signaling the escape of the criminal Dragrain from the detention cells through to the second transfer room; Misuzu and Chuuta rush there to help the officer in charge, Sheronimo, and Misuzu decides to give chase, telling Chuuta he's better off not coming, but he follows anyways.

Misuzu and Chips are taken to where Chuuta, Dolugh, and Gucchi are as hostages. Gucchi demands Chuuta to give him Dolugh, and in return he will free Misuzu and Chips, but Chuuta refuses. Sen threatens that they will kill Misuzu and Chips if he refuses to hand over Dolugh. Misuzu, already taken the medicine given by Isaac, drops the red fabric used for the medicine from her pocket, giving Chuuta a sign that she is awake. Noticing the sign, Chuuta and Dolugh uses Naminui to free Misuzu from Sen's grasp. Freed from her captor, Misuzu uses her SPH blades to kill both Sen and Sun and frees Chips. She guickly attacks Gucchi with her blades, which Gucchi easily deflects with his D Blade. Gucchi smashes the ground, causing the debris to hit Misuzu and she falls unconscious. As Chuuta and Gucchi are having a happy moment of their reunion, Misuzu regains her consciousness and attacks Gucchi, but he is able to escape. Asking Chuuta what he has gained from Gucchi, Chuuta tells her that Demille is attacking their ship. They send signals to Rein that they are all right and are transferred there to help. Misuzu and Chuuta watches the battle from the ship until Demille retreated.

Arrest
While having a lunch at the ship's canteen, Chuuta reluctantly asks Misuzu to help him writing his report. Misuzu agrees, saying that he needs to be a first-class officer so he won't be a hindrance. She also reveals that she is actually awake the whole time when she was captured and merely pretending to be unconscious to test Chuuta, something that Chuuta inwardly objects as not something that a comrade would do. However, surprisingly, Misuzu adds that Chuuta has made the right judgment at the situation. She then gives Chuuta the file that contains the data of his accident seven years ago given by Rein that might help him. Chuuta asks why Misuzu gave it to him, and she answers that Chuuta has the right to know since it's about his own past. Realizing that Misuzu did this for him, Chuuta thanks her.

They are interrupted by Beralgo and his team who came to arrest Misuzu for being a spy. Oblivious, Misuzu asks what he meant. In response to her question, Velargo shows the video record that shows her cutting Dragnair's prison cell with her blade during her tour ship with Chuuta and Dolugh. Misuzu tries to reason with Velargo, but he won't listen and electrocuted her to silence her. Unconscious, she is handcuffed and taken away as Chuuta and Dolugh watches helplessly.

Season 5
Misuzu shows up with Chuuta in Japan, sent there by ēlDLIVE to capture a Sukyanian alien who was causing explosions around the city. When Chuuta asked what was wrong with the suspect's body while they were chasing him, she told him that it was an allergic reaction, and Chips clarified that it was because Sukyanians were allergic to earth anesthesia, which causes their skin to trigger random explosions. After Chips gave her permission, she transformed into her SPH battle form to catch the suspect. One of the bystanders thought she was an angel, due to the wings growing from her back. When they encountered humans who were unconscious and covered in the explosives from the Sukyanian's skin. Chips said that one of them must stay behind to look after the victims, while the other go after the suspect. As Chuuta started to say that he will stay, Misuzu cuts him off and states that he will handle the arrest of the Sukyanian, much to Chuuta's surprise. When he starts to argue, she asked him if he had any confidence, which causes Chuuta to get angry and change his mind to go after the suspect. Misuzu says that would be helpful and tells him to be careful when Chuuta arrests him as his cerebrospinal fluid is toxic. Chuuta is confused because Misuzu seemed very out of character as she did not insult him.

Chuuta and Veronica, who arrived later, chased the suspect out of a jewelry shop, but he kept eluding them. Dolugh suggested digging a hole to trap him in, and just when Chuuta asked out loud how they would do that, Misuzu appeared flying in the sky, saying that she will try. She threw two SPH hoops at the ground in front of the Sukyanian, creating a crater that trapped him, allowing the rest of the police to arrest him.

After successfully arresting the Sukyanian, Chips compliments the team for their good cooperation, while pretending to act like Rein. Misuzu asked him if he was imitating someone. Suddenly, Riggs contacted the team, telling them that the suspect was actually a Demille member and therefore they have to quickly get away because his body contained an explosive device. However, he did not explode.

Later, back at the station, Dr. Isaku tells the team that it turns out that the recorder inside the explosive device does not work, which was why Demille did not kill the Sukyanian. When Rein calls in from the ēlDLIVE headquarters later to say that he will be returning to station later and that he won't be attending the birthday party, Misuzu explains to Chuuta, who asked what that was, that every month their station throws a party for the staff that has their birthday that month. Dr. Isaku asked if Dr. Love was with him, to which he responded that he was on a date, shocking everyone, including Misuzu.

Chuuta escapes into the hallway in order to get away from the rowdy atmosphere and to call his aunt to tell her he will be coming home late, and sees Misuzu standing at the windows overlooking space. He sees her taking pills and remembers that she used to take pills that she thought were environment adaptation pills. Chuuta tells her that he was going to call his aunt and asked if she called her family to tell them she was coming home late. Misuzu replied that she has no parents and a home. Chuuta apologizes profusely and says that she always seemed like she had somewhere to go back to, and Misuzu tells him that she was actually going somewhere far away to request transfer back to the station.

SPH
Misuzu's SPH can manifest as glowing pink rings. These rings are very sharp and can cut through large aliens, such as a Dragrain, with ease. She is able to change their size on a whim, even making them big enough for Chuuta to go through while he was learning to spacewalk.

Misuzu can allow her SPH to cover her to create a combat form that changes her clothing to a light blue basque and gives her large white wings that allows her to fly. Pink, glowing lines appear around her waist, upper arms, and thighs.
