**Shizuka Aoyama** (青山静か, *Aoyama Shizuka*) is one of the 4 members and main characters in the third generation of the Lucky Besties. She is the apprentice of Misaki Tsutsuji. Her alter ego is **Lucky Viola** (**Lucky Violet** in the English Dub), whose power is flowers, and her theme color is blue.

## Bio

### Personality

Shizuka is a straightforward, serious and strong-willed young lady. She is generally calm and mature, but has a tendency to get nervous and stressed out. She is friendly to just about everyone, excluding people that hurt her friends, like her enemies. Shizuka doesn't think very highly of herself and has self-confidence issues, something she would like to fix, and struggles to live up to her family's expectations--they expect her to be refined and perfect. Shizuka tends to go on rants when she's mad (especially when confronting one of the villains).

Shizuka enjoys things that relate to Japan, like tea ceremonies, geisha performances, and origami, which she'd like to learn. She's skilled at flower-arranging, and works at her family's flower shop, Kaika Flower Shop. She also likes to read books, especially Japanese fairytales, her favorite book being the Tale of the Bamboo Cutter.

### Appearance

#### Civilian

Shizuka is a girl with pale skin, long dark blue hair with separated bangs, blue eyes, and a cornflower blue headband. Her spring/fall outfit consists of a black T-shirt under a plaid, cornflower blue cardigan with white accents, blue buttons, and white pockets, a grayish-teal pleated skirt that goes slightly above her knees, light sea green stockings, and blue saddle shoes. She also has blue bracelets she wears on her right wrist with every outfit.

For summer, she wears a navy blue dress with dark blue thin straps; the skirt has four layers and stops at the knees. She also has matching sandals.

During school, she wears an altered version of the **Hoshinomori Private Girls' Academy** school uniform, with a blue tie (in winter) or ribbon (in summer).

#### Lucky Form

As Lucky Viola, her hair is longer and more flared out, and there are two small buns on the sides held by white flowers. Her hair color is now cornflower blue with a light blue gradient, and the insides are light gray. She has on a black turtleneck top under a blue frilled dress, a white vest with blue accents tied in the front, a blue choker, and long, white arm warmers with blue on the top and blue built-in gloves. She also has dark indigo over-the-knee socks with a white horizontal stripe on the top, and blue ankle boots folded at the top.

### Etymology

**Aoyama** (青山, *****Aoyama*****): Ao (青, ***Ao***) means "blue", a reference to her theme color blue; violets are blue, so it references her alter ego Lucky Viola. **Yama** (山, *****Yama*****) means "mountain". Together, it means "blue mountain", which references the Blue Mountain Butterfly, her favorite butterfly.

**Shizuka** (静か, *****Shizuka*****): **Shizuka** (静か, *****Shizuka*****) means "quiet" or "silent".

### Attacks

#### Main Attacks

* **Viola Flower Shoot:** Viola's first attack. She grabs her Violet Fan and opens it, then raises it up as she says the first part of the attack name. She aims it downward while saying the second part, then winks. Finally, while saying the last part, she aims her fan at the target, summoning a indigo orb of light in the shape of a flower and sends it at the target, destroying and purifying them. This isn't always guaranteed to work, however.
* **Viola Spinning Flower Shoot:**

* **Viola Kick:**
* **Viola Hanakasa Barrier:** Viola's third sub attack. Viola summons a flower, enlarges in, and places it in front of her to protect her from enemy attacks.
* **Viola Ooedo Invisibility Fan:** Viola's fourth sub attack. As she says the first part of the attack name, Viola opens her fan and aims it away from her, while saying "Ooedo". She opens her fan all the way as it creates an indigo flower-shaped barrier, while saying the second half of the attack phrase.
