## Personality

Chizue is a young playful girl who enjoys reading books in the library and mentions that she enjoyed being at a fancy mansion with so many rooms and dozens of servants, she mentions that she enjoyed reading Seishin Reijin’s work while cooped up indoors. Despite her appearance, she displays knowledge that a child her age would not possess and exhibits some levels of religious affiliation, especially on death. In truth, she is known to be the owner of a mysterious vampiric mansion and one of the akuma leaders, not to mention one of the youngest of this group. She is mature and understanding, as she was a mother-figure to her adoptive mother Chiharu. Despite her and her triplets being akuma, she doesn’t kill out of malice but rather for survival, and wants to create a safe place for the akuma so they could live in freedom. She demonstrates great care for others, an example being when she mourned Chiharu’s murder and was worried about her adoptive father Yazuru when he and Haru didn’t return to the mansion.

In New Life, she feels a bit remorseful over what she did and what happened a year ago now that Seishin had exposed Akuma’s secret via Tenshi Adachi’s autobiography. Having learned the truth, she is easily persuasive as she was able to tell the whole truth to Koharu, Nori, and Dr. Maeda’s nieces, and got the re-resurrected Haru and even Dr. Maeda himself to understand the fact that they and their triplets weren’t the culprits behind the curse. She is also a capable leader as well as she had been taking them and the rest of our heroes to where Masayo found the portal to Akuryo while he, Sachiko, and Ria were rescuing Akari there, having remembered her way around Mysteria.
