Shizuku Kurogane

Shizuku Kurogane is the younger sister of Ikki Kurogane and the female deuteragonist of Chivalry of a Failed Knight.
She is voiced by Nao Tōyama in the Japanese version of the anime, and by Juliet Simmons in the English version of the anime.
==Appearance==
Shizuku is a petite young woman of a much smaller stature even for her age often referred to as a lolita, and being shorter compared to Stella whose the same age. She has short silver hair with several bangs covering her entire forehead, the middle portion of it comes close to her nose and jade-green eyes. She holds her hair together with a black headband that has white-pink flowers on both sides of it; in the anime both the flowers are pink.
During her childhood, Shizuku had much longer silver hair tied into twin-tails, but she cut it short after her brother's eventual departure as shown in the manga.
==Personality==
As a child, Shizuku has been shown to be a naive, sweet and brother complexed little girl who cared for her second older brother, Ikki Kurogane, unlike her relatives who treated him badly due to him being an F-Rank, which was viewed as a failure among their distinguished household. Under the surface, she started to despise the people known as "humans", which stimmed her being forgiven no matter what she did due to her remarkable talent and power as a child with even the parents of the children she had hit or stolen from being punished for talking back; Ikki alone slapped her once when the adults didn't despite being beaten afterward.
After Ikki left the Kurogane Household, her resentment for those who ridiculed him had grown to extend towards the other Kurogane, even her father who continued to intervene in his success in becoming a Blazer. It was also then that Shizuku decided to give Ikki all the love that no one else has ever given him as a mother, sister, friend, and lover, which somewhat grew into an obsession for him. Due to her brother complex This also caused her rivalry with Stella Vermillion who soon became his roommate and lover causing arguments and fights between them, most of the time when Ikki is involved. Shizuku even called Stella as "fatty" due to the size of her breasts.
Among her friends, especially both Ikki and Stella, Shizuku is quite merciless in battle never going easy her even opponents, never hesitating to kill enemies as shown by Wallenstein, however, he somehow survived.
== Biography ==
Ikki's younger sister, and as a child, Shizuku is the only family member of Ikki other than Ryouma to have never discriminated against him nor was she aware that her brother is being discriminated by her family, resulting in their close relationship.
After Ikki left the house, Shizuku was shocked and sadden over her ignorance to see her family showing no concern over Ikki leaving as he was viewed as non-existing to them. This event eventually resulted in Shizuku hating and distrusting other people and her extreme attachment towards Ikki.
It is later revealed that Shizuku had always had a distaste for humans, ever since she was a child, as they would usually bend to power, as she would usually get away with anything she did because the adults used their power to make it so. This however eventually led to her first time meeting Ikki as he was the first actual human to not bend to adult power, and told her what she did was wrong.
