Shizuka Sasaki

Shizuka Sasaki is a main character in Sukeban Academy and one of the participants of the first ever edition of the titular game show. She is the protagonist of the Sukeban Academy storyline.

In spite of her spot in the contest, she did not consider herself to be a bully, though she certainly did perform illegal activities (in the form of forging homework and exam cheat-sheets for money) that allowed her to qualify as a participant.

Appearance
Shizuka is a short, black-haired girl with fair skin and brown eyes. In her debut, she is stated to be in the last year of high school, implying her to be eighteen years of age.

When she was originally introduced, and during the entirety of Sukeban Academy, Shizuka was seen wearing the uniform for her high school, Kotton High. This is a sailor fuku uniform made up of a white blouse, red neck tie, and a sailor blue collar and skirt. An 'X' could be spotted on the collar of the uniform. It was stated that she chose to wear her uniform as a method to try to not stand out, considering all the other women in the game show wore relatively more gaudy outfits.

Alongside said uniform, she wore knee-high socks, a light red headband, and round glasses.

Underwear
During her introduction, Shizuka was revealed to be wearing pink. Hello-Kitty-themed panties, which she only dared to wear because she knew many bullies would not dare to wedgie her. The very next day, she was spotted wearing a white pair with colored polka-dots that were revealed and wedgied by Kozue Ichikawa.

In the first official day of the Sukeban Academy game show, she was seen wearing plain light pink panties, a pair she decided to put on to avoid mockery if they were to be revealed. This ended up proving futile, as Jun Akatsutsumi found them particularly amusing when she gave Shizuka a wedgie that same day, in spite of their lack of decorations or patterns.

Personality
Shizuka was a jaded, somewhat cynical girl who, after many years of bullying and social rejection, had developed a social shield around herself to avoid having to deal with others. She dealt only with students who wanted her services as a forger which, aside from making her quite popular among the more lazy students and essentially turning her into an 'unwedgieable' girl, also meant she had very few chances to develop meaningful friendships.

At the beginning of the first Sukeban Academy game show, she tried to use her wits and knowledge of bully mentality to try to come out on top of her interactions. However, the hacking abilities of Akiko Hashimoto became so useful for this goal that Shizuka decided to try to manipulate her too, and eventually ended up befriending her after overcoming her prejudices about her general sense of 'nerdiness'.

Before Sukeban Academy
During her first few years in middle school, Shizuka was relentlessly bullied and ignored by the other girls, even by those who had been her friends up to that point. To avoid becoming the target of more bullying, however, Shizuka began making deals with her bullies: she would forge homework and essays for them, as well as help them cheat in their tests, in exchange for a small sum of money.

Sukeban Academy
This strategy worked so well that, with time, Shizuka became borderline untouchable by the bullies, as she would immediately cut off contact with them if they were to harm her in any way. Near the end of her time in high school, however, she became progressively more stressed out by the precept of going to college, and the idea that her single mother was having trouble paying their bills. This stress culminated on a crucial mistake that led bully Kozue Ichikawa to wedgie Shizuka in the middle of a hallway.

The altercation was stopped, however, by student Sakura Tomatsu, who put an end to the bullying by giving Kozue a wedgie of her own. After the incident, Sakura put Shizuka aside to discuss how much she admired her ability to cheat the system, and how they would probably never see each other again, something Shizuka did not quite understand.

The incident, along with Sakura's words and her mother's monetary troubles, led Shizuka to apply for the Sukeban Academy contest, and she was eventually accepted alongside other 9 girls.
