Matsuri Mizusawa (水沢 まつり, Mizusawa Matsuri^?) is the older sister of Inori Mizusawa and a former junior high school student who initially serves as an antagonist at first, but she later becomes a supporting character in the series.

Appearance

Matsuri's full casual appearance.

Matsuri is a short young girl with shoulder-length light pink hair and blue eyes.

Her dressing sense is very casual as she usually dresses up as a delinquent of sorts, which mirrors to her sly personality and she commonly wears a pair of headphones around her neck or atop her head.

Personality

Matsuri is a very precocious and smart girl for her age who doesn't mind her own words and she can be a bit mischievous at times as she enjoys teasing others, but mainly Yuzu and Harumi. Like Mei, Matsuri tends to be very manipulative and she doesn't have any shame, as shown by the fact she didn't seem to care when little boys were apparently looking under her skirt, and then blackmailed them into taking a incriminating picture of Mei so she could blackmail her. Later it is explained how lonely Matsuri was feeling, and how the idea of losing her "older sister" Yuzu to Mei simply scared her, which led her to acting so wrong.

Despite her mischievous behavior she is capable of being kind and caring to a degree, although she quickly denies this when people noticed this side of her.
