Sarakimi Neuichi

## Debut

Part Four, Chapter Three

**Sarakimi Neuichi (紗 (しゃ) 羅 (ら) 木 (き) 実 (み)  根 (ね) 愛 (うい) 血 (ち) , *Neuichi Sarakimi*?)** is a major supporting character of the Eyes Like Rubies series. She is a a Demon Hunter and the Music Pairon (音 (おん) 楽 (がく)  パイロン, *Ongaku Pairon*?) Dūlen Nagauji and Yoriichi Tsugikuni's band of fighters, the Pairons.

## Appearance

Sarakimi is a short, petite young woman with a curvaceous build and a light complexion. She has sparkling honey brown eyes that fade from dark brown to gold with notable white sparkles reflecting light off of them, framed by thick eyelashes. A small heart outline marking is on her right cheek.

She has light blue hair that's styled in a messy high bun with two curled locks framing her face. Her high bun is secured with a silver treble clef hair ornament. She also wears a pair of dangling star earrings, but she usually takes them off when she's anticipating a battle.

Sarakimi wears a navy-tinted version of the standard Pairon uniform along with an oversized capelet-styled white haori that fades to a pink heart pattern and covers her hands with its long sleeves. The kanji for 'music' (音楽) is at the back of her Pairon uniform. Instead of wearing the usual hakama pants, she wears black leggings with puffy leg warmers. She also wears black-strapped zōri with white, slouched tabi socks.

## Personality

Fickle-hearted, empathetic, and kind, Sarakimi is a lighthearted individual with a bubbly personality. Her sense of humor is quite immature and she prides herself on seeing the best of people. She's quite fanciful, being that she’s always daydreaming and is easily flustered. She strives to make others smile and is always complimenting and motivating others, especially when it comes to her fellow Pairons. There are times when she's overly emotional and vents to whoever is around because she is very trusting of others.

Sarakimi doesn't like being underestimated and doesn't back away from a battle. People constantly underestimate her because of her petite build, but she learned to use that to her advantage. During combat, she keeps her whimsical, carefree demeanor as she mercilessly slays demons. Sometimes, she'll grieve for a demon after killing them and pray that they'll find peace in the afterlife.

## Equipment

**Ligature Whip:** Sarakimi wields what she calls a 'Ligature Whip,' which is a sword that acts as a chain whip with retractable spikes. It's extremely thin and amazingly flexible, having the ability of bending and curving like a whip. The whip's handle is curved and molded just for her to use with a small knob to control its retractable spikes.

## Trivia

* Sarakimi used to have a crush on Takeo, but fell out of love with him when she found out about his loud snoring problem.
* Sarakimi's hair color is likely caused by her mother's constant eating of blueberry agave mochi.
