Mizore Shirayuki

Mizore Shirayuki, also known as Yuki Onna and Stalker Onna, is one of the main characters from the Rosario+Vampire series.
== Charactah Account ==
Mizore Shirayuki is a yuki-onna who is in the same homeroom class as Tsukune and Moka, frequently seen with a lollipop in her mouth. Her outfit consists of a white wide-necked sweater with blue sleeves over a black tank top, a short plaid yellow skirt which is part of the Yokai Academy's girls' uniform, pink and violet stockings (her right stocking slightly longer than her left), and a belt that is wrapped around her left thigh. 
Mizore returns to school after a delayed absence and was first portrayed as a lonely, somewhat depressed, and misunderstood girl. She becomes infatuated with Tsukune, going so far as to create her own journal/scrapbook with all of his newspaper articles.
In the past, she confessed her love to a teacher until he began taking advantage of her, freezing him as a result. With the incident and rumors spreading about her, Mizore made it hard for herself to trust anyone, but took a liking to Tsukune, believing he was just as miserable as she was. She eventually regains her sense of trust after Tsukune intervenes when the same teacher returns to kill her. Unfortunately, this leads Mizore to stalk Tsukune on a daily basis (from around 340 spying locations, according to her). She initially sports long hair in her debut appearances, but cuts it short after the incident was cleared. Later in the second serialization, Mizore decides that even if Tsukune doesn't fall in love with her, she will follow him forever.
A running gag in the series is that Mizore always appears unexpectedly in the oddest locations (under tables, behind doors, the ceiling, bushes, and even in the bathroom), and freezes any girl to disrupt any sort of tender moment Tsukune is having with the latter.

== Trivia ==
* The name Mizore means "sleet" (in other words, a mixture of snow and rain).
** It can also mean "Snow Sleet" or "Snow White Sleet".
** Unlike the Mizore in Pugyuru, she has her name "Mizore" spelled in hiragana rather than katakana and actually has a real translation, actually meaning "Sleet".
*** In the serialized manga, Mizore is classified initially as an "Abominable Snow Woman". She is later renamed "Snow Fairy." In the anime, she is sometimes referred to as "Ice Queen." This however are all inaccurate or incorrect terms, as if not to say Yuki-Onna, the most proper way to say it in English translation is and would be "snow woman".
*** She was possibly given the name Mizore because it sounds similar to the English word "misery", which was quite appropriate at the beginning of the series.
** Mizore and Tsurara Shirayuki (Mizore's mother) are the only characters in the series to have the name spelling of Japanese characters to be spelled with hiragana.
* Mizore's surname Shirayuki means "white" (shira) and "snow" (yuki).
** Mizore's surname Shirayuki, roughly or inexactly translates to "Snow White" in Japanese, but not as the princess as if it had the suffix "-hime" at the end of it, with hime exactly translating to Japanese as an honorific term of endearment, the exact version of "princess" being oujo, with "Oujo" being the opposite meaning of "ouji" (with the accent diacritical mark ou), meaning "prince" in the Japanese language. Furthermore, the proper translation of Mizore's surname would be "snow white" or "white snow," with "shira" being another pronunciation or reading of the word "shiro" or haku, literally meaning "white" and "yuki" meaning "snow."
* Another running gag is that Mizore throws ice-based projectiles to disrupt any sort of tender moment Tsukune is having with any other girl.
* Kurumu Kurono calls Mizore Stalker Woman (-Onna).
* Mizore has not been in school for a while in the manga and anime; in the anime, she comes to the school because of Tsukune Aono in the newspaper.
* Both times Tsukune has seen Mizore's breasts, (Season I chapter 38 and Season II chapter 11), he has blocked the images by imagining them to be cherries.
* Mizore's character may have been inspired by a yuki-onna from the comic series Pugyuru. Not only are they both yuki-onna, but they are both called Mizore and have purple bangs.
* Mizore in the manga seems to take being called a "Stalker" as a compliment and refers to herself as one. One occasion being is when Kurumu told her that she is "watching people again" Mizore appeared from the ceiling and replied by saying "When are you going to call it 'stalking'?"
* A running gag in the series is that Mizore always appears unexpectedly in the oddest locations (under tables, behind doors, the ceiling, bushes, in the bathroom, and even outside of the window on the academy's second floor).
* Mizore still displayed fearful distrust of Miyabi in Fairy Tale HQ. As he tried to convince Tsukune, Mizore, Kurumu and Ruby to trust him, Tsukune knew that not only was Mizore hiding behind him, but she was trembling noticeably.
* Mizore is shown to be a very talented cook.
* Mizore's character song is Snow Storm.
* Mizore doesn't seem to care if she shows her panties or if they're blown by the wind. (Anime)
* Despite having been sexually assaulted, she is likely still a virgin as she believed that she was impure though she was only kissed and groped.
* In the anime, Mizore can be seen wearing a short, white kimono with a pink obi. Yukime, another yuki-onna from the series Hell Teacher Nūbē, also wears this outfit.
* In the Season 2 Volume 7, during the trip to Hong Kong, it is revealed that Mizore, along with Yukari and Kurumu, had never gone by plane before, nor had traveled outside Japan. This is due to the human's immigration control.
* When Tsukune and Moka were shown to become stable Shinso Vampires, Mizore hugged Ruby while joyfully crying.
* In the official guide book of the manga, Ikeda admitted he initially planned to make Mizore a guest character, not a recurring one. But he started to like her and changed his mind afterward.
* When Mizore had Tsukune touch her breast during their bid to stop an assumed engagement with Moka, Mizore proved Alucard's harassment had not left her adverse to physical contact from males.
* In the Manga Epilogue, Mizore begs Kurumu to take her into Tsukune's dreams too, so she can finally get the opportunity to "make babies" with him.
** As Moka keeps them from attempting this (as they are minors), Mizore's chances of having this dream fulfilled are slim as Snow Women have trouble reproducing after they turn 20.
