* Anime
* Manga

**Satou's Aunt** is a character and major deuteragonist and secondary antagonist in *Happy Sugar Life*.

She sparked Satou's interest in the terms of love, but created bitter memories in the process for Satou. She is also the main cause in Satou's reputation as being *easy to catch* when it comes to relationships with males.

She never reveals herself unless Satou drops her handcuffs (keys in the anime) as a signal.

## Appearance

Satou's aunt has unkempt light lavender hair that reaches to the end of her breasts and is tied into a loose fishtail braid at the right side. Her bangs are straight, choppy and parted in the middle. She has two choppy strands which are chin-length and and slightly curl inwards. She also has another set of messy strands which extend a little bit below her neck and curl inwards.

When she first adopted Satou, she had messy short hair, extending no longer than her shoulder.

Her light blue eyes denotes no emotion. Her pale skin is very similar to Satou's, and they both appear to be the same height. She often wears a light pink knee-length dress with a flat curved white collar with one golden button at the top and a golden cresent moon earring that is seen on her right ear. Other times, she could be seen wearing an open white coat as she continues her habit of playing with other suitors.

She has bandages on both of her cheeks, wrapped around her head, neck, her right arm and left foot as a result of her inviting behavior and attitude.

## Personality

Satō's Aunt is always depicted as very cheerful, always with her unnatural smile, piercing stare and erratic behavior. There have been no scenes where she isn't smiling. She is shown to be a masochist as she would often invite men into her room, sometimes murderers in order to feel loved. Other times she would even sexually assault men. However, her victims can't hit her as she stares at them with her bloodshot eyes, Thus making them slightly paranoid. Despite this promiscuous behavior often getting her stitches, she doesn't stop, even trying to seduce Detective Iyada, the police interrogated her.

She is also shown to be someone who is very calm, showing no reaction when Satou shared that she killed someone, rather much so congratulating her for doing that for someone she loves.

Towards strangers, she can be quite welcoming and playful to them, but she can be rather off-putting when inviting people to come in due to her masochistic tendencies.

She doesn't understand what most call love, so she tries to protect other peoples "love" hence why she does things that make her seem unstable, her perceptive of love is viewed as toxic, letting anyone do anything they want to her. She tries to protect Satou's love for Shio. There is little documented about her past or why she acts in ways such as this.

## Background

Sato's aunt is the guardian of Satou who lost her parents and lives in the "Room 305" of the apartment where Satou pretends to live. Her real name is unknown, and throughout the series it has never been revealed.

After Satou's parents' death, She took her in, being her only other living relative.

However, Satou's aunt was a hedonistic woman who usually slept around, as well as pleasuring herself by allowing others to beat her, step on her, among other things. She is responsible for Satou's warped concept of love, even when strangers come in she would playfully greet them and let them do what they want to her.

Afterward, Satou's aunt wasn't seen again. Given how letters assigned to her were sent back, this seemed to prove further that she was deceased. As a result, Daichi Kitaumekawa calls for the authorities to inspect Sato's apartment. Surprisingly, a bandaged woman emerges from the doorway, revealing that Sato's Aunt was in fact still alive. Sato's Aunt attempts to force herself on one of the police officers before being forced off of him.

Whilst pouring gasoline in the room, Sato's aunt is met by Taiyō Mitsuboshi when he informed Asahi that Sato was keeping his sister hostage at the apartment. However, Sato's aunt gets the better of him, and forces herself onto the young man. Given how his encounter with his former manager, this triggers a traumatic episode for the young man. She sees him and believes he is in need of love and decides to give it to Taiyou against his will, raping him.

## Relationships

### Satō Matsuzaka

Satou is always cautious of her aunt and begrudgingly seeks her help. She holds her aunt in a low regard as she had left a bad taste raising Satou. Despite that, Satou is willing to cooperate with her if it means she'll be able to stay with Shio. On legal documents specifying where she lives, she uses her aunt's address instead of her own, wanting to keep Shio a secret.

When Satou's aunt tells Satou that she is overstepping her boundaries, killing for love and that she'll grow into a dirty adult, Satou grabs and twists her aunt's collar, demanding that she take responsibility for raising her. Satou's aunt was initially shocked but agreed to take responsibility. Satou doesn't consider her aunt's love genuine since she loves everyone just the same.

She immediately noticed when Satou killed Shouko, but promises not to tell the police and tells Satou that she isn't the first person who came to her saying they killed someone. She also supported Satou's plan to move elsewhere after the murder, providing her large sums of cash and committing arson to burn all of the remaining evidence.

When Satou died, she showed no regrets as she believes Satou to have lived a blissful life. However, she remarks that she has no way of verifying Satou's happiness and was truly sorry that she couldn't see Satou's face when Satou committed suicide.

She promised to keep loving Satou, even though she could no longer see her anymore.
