[hider=Kuzunao Sakamori][img]http://cdn.myanimelist.net/images/characters/3/245493.jpg[/img][/hider]
Height of 166cm
Usually dresses in smart casual clothing
Double pierced ears (though she abstains from wearing jewellery in the daytime)
The kanji for “ice” (氷) tattooed on her right shoulder blade. She has no idea how, why or when it got there. Luckily the tattoo is usually concealed by her clothing.

Personality: 
During her sober state, Sakamori strives to be a responsible role model for her students. Most times, she seems like the straight-laced and no-nonsense type, though she is known to crack occasional small jokes with the students (unfortunately, it is rare to find anyone who actually laughs at her puns). Sakamori is firm but fair when it comes to her students. She is always willing to dispense wisdom for her pupils or stay behind to help with homework, which has gained her the respect of many of her colleagues and students.

However, when she is inebriated, Sakamori’s personality undergoes a Jekyll and Hyde-esque transformation. Her disciplined manner becomes polarised, and she becomes uncontrolled and impulsive. Drunk Sakamori (or “the other one” as Sakamori calls her) is always looking for a good time, provoking friends and foe alike into a fight or other usually unadvised escapades. The transformation to Drunk Sakamori can be attributed by a permanent goofy smile, a slight blush on her cheeks, and unbuttoned clothing. Due to the sheer embarrassment of her inebriated state Sakamori refuses to drink in the company of others, though what she does during her nights out is a whole ‘nother matter.

Skills: 
Qualified to teach Maths and Chemistry
Trained in First Aid
4th Dan Aikido Practitioner
Gardening (Faculty Adviser for the Gardening Club)

Equipment: 
Ritual Device – A thick silver bracelet inscribed with the phrase "deo Sucelo" and adorned with a small golden hammer charm. Bracelet is a bit hefty due to the machinery inside. As a result of her Pact with the Gallo-Roman deity, Sucellus, once Sakamori’s sobriety level passes from “tipsy” to “drunk”, the contracted god appears. Sucellus himself is quite mild and benevolent, contrary to what his association with alcohol would imply. He takes the form of a bearded middle aged man in a robe.
Handbag – Sakamori-sensei’s handbag has been an enigma to the students of Otsuki Academy, so much so that they have dubbed it the “Cave of Wonders” and declared it the second of “The Seven Mysteries of Otsuki Academy”. The handbag itself is a standard brown tote with a distinctive Doraemon keychain that her niece had gifted her with during the summer, but it is the contents of the bag that intrigue the occupants of the Academy. Sakamori had been sighted to pull many mundane but out-of-place items from the bag. Attached below is an incomplete list of items in the bag that was confiscated during detention from some students who broke into the Staff Room:
	Tube of sunscreen (in the middle of winter?)
	Pack of tampons
	Second iPhone that refused to turn on
	Binoculars
	Hairbrush (suspiciously heavy)
	NES cartridge (label was too worn out to identify game)
	Empty mug (also suspiciously heavy)
	Walkman
	Painkillers/headache medicine
Novelty Flask – Given as a present for her 30th birthday by the faculty, it is a green flask adorned with the statement, “According to chemistry, alcohol is a solution”. Sakamori enjoyed the joke and keeps the gift on her at all times.

Abilities: 
In simple terms, Sakamori’s Ritual Device gives her the ability to “exaggerate” things. If a hose is trickling water, Sakamori can boost the spray to the level of a broken fire hydrant. If there is a lit match, Sakamori can make it become a raging inferno, given that there is enough fuel to sustain its exaggerated form. Sakamori cannot boost the growth of organic matter or use her powers to heal people unless there is already an external magical force promoting the growth or healing. She can only boost things one at a time. This power makes her a very effective support fighter.
The Ritual Device also gives her enhanced strength and speed, while changing her usual aikido fighting style to something reminiscent of the “Drunken Fist” style found in the sects of Chinese martial arts. Her erratic and unpredictable fighting style, partnered with her enhanced strength and speed, makes Sakamori a formidable opponent even without her Ritual Device’s primary ability. Whether or not this style is a product of Sucellus' powers or her own ability is up for debate.

Brief Backstory: 
Born to a family that owned one of the country’s oldest aikido dojos, Kuzunao Sakamori was raised by a family of discipline and honor. Kuzunao was taught the family practice at a young age as well as other traditional Japanese arts, though the latter has been long forgotten due to disuse. She was a kind and precocious child, quickly mastering aikido while also befriending the groundskeepers of her large home when her family was away at tournaments. Despite her many interests and talents, Sakamori decided to study to become a teacher. It was only during a college party when she discovered her unusually high alcohol tolerance, and the manifestation of her other self and Ritual Device at another college party later on in her first year. 
Sakamori has been teaching at Otsuki Academy for five years as of present. Despite her efforts to hide it, everyone knows the conditions of the Ritual Device and often light-heartedly tease her about it.
