Description
Azuna Kuzuha is a 16-year-old second-year student at Shikō Academy and a supporting character in Dance with Devils: Fortuna. She is a human with the appearance of a very pretty girl, characterized by her chest-length sandy-blonde hair, which is typically styled into two low pigtails fastened with orange ribbons. Her bangs are parted in the middle, revealing her blue-green eyes and a distinctive beauty mark situated beneath her left eye. She stands at a height of 161cm and is usually seen in her school’s standard sailor-style uniform, which she pairs with black stockings.
Her personality is defined by a caring and straightforward nature. She is self-assured, rarely hesitates to voice her opinions, and is deeply devoted to her best friend, Ritsuka Tachibana. While she is always watchful of Ritsuka's well-being and offers advice, her protectiveness is not as overbearing as that of other characters like Lindo Tachibana. As an exorcist, Azuna displays a forceful and blunt demeanor, holding a strong hatred for devils whom she openly refers to as disgusting. She is not afraid to confront them and uses her tools, including a rosary and holy water, to fight them off effectively.
Azuna’s role in the story is that of a supporting character who becomes increasingly integral to the plot. Initially presented simply as Ritsuka’s close school friend, it is later revealed that she is an exorcist working alongside Lindo Tachibana. Her initial approach to Ritsuka was motivated by her identity as the Forbidden Grimoire, a fact she deeply regrets deceiving her friend about. However, over time, Azuna develops a genuine and powerful friendship with Ritsuka, driven by a sincere desire to encourage and protect her. Her motivations are rooted in this loyalty, as she consistently puts herself in danger to shield Ritsuka from the various supernatural threats surrounding her, ultimately making the ultimate sacrifice in an attempt to save her from the character Jek.
Her key relationships are central to her character development. Her bond with Ritsuka Tachibana is the most significant; she constantly fears that her identity as an exorcist will end their friendship, and she is overjoyed when Ritsuka accepts her for who she is. She works in cooperation with Lindo Tachibana, with whom she shares a good friendship as fellow exorcists. In contrast, she harbors deep distrust and animosity towards the members of the student council, particularly Shiki Natsumezaka, against whom she attempts to use her exorcism abilities. Her most adversarial relationship is with Jek, who becomes her murderer during a confrontation.
Throughout the narrative, Azuna’s development is marked by her journey from a seemingly ordinary schoolgirl to a revealed exorcist who confronts her own fears. She is constantly afraid that her secret identity will be exposed and cause her to lose her friend. When Ritsuka accepts her truth, it brings her immense joy and frees her to protect her openly. Her character arc culminates in a tragic act of bravery and selflessness, as she willingly endangers herself to save Ritsuka, demonstrating the depth of her loyalty. Even after her death, her presence continues to be felt, as she remains a loyal figure to Ritsuka, with hints that her spirit continues to offer assistance. Her notable abilities include her skills as an exorcist, where she is shown to be competent in using holy weaponry and artifacts to combat devils, working in tandem with Lindo to fend off supernatural enemies.
