About Shizuka Futari
Shizuka Futari is a wealthy and powerful otherworlder living in modern Japan, where she runs a successful business and moves comfortably among humans. Her true nature is far more dangerous than her elegant manners suggest, and she treats Sasaki as a useful and entertaining contact between the worlds. Deals with her tend to pay well and cost more than money, which is why Peeps advises caution whenever her name comes up.
Appearance
Shizuka Futari appears as a young girl in her early teens, small, elegant and perfectly composed, dressed with the polish of old money. The appearance is deceptive in every direction: she drives, negotiates and runs a business empire like a seasoned adult, because by any human measure she is far older than she looks.
Personality
Shizuka is graceful, amused and entirely self-possessed, treating Sasaki as a useful and entertaining contact between worlds. She is generous with money and information, and both come with hooks. Peeps advises caution whenever her name comes up, advice Sasaki, who keeps doing business with her anyway, hears often.
