Editing ROTE:Dokueki Sumie (section)

==Personality and history==

Sumie is serious, but slightly shy. She finds the medical aspects of her family's arts much more interesting than the horrible chi poison techniques, although she's shown a lot of talent for both. She's much more interested in becoming a doctor than an assassin.

Sumie is quite attractive, and frequently draws the attention of lots of the local boys, particularly Kazuhiko, who simply cannot grasp that she is not interested in dating him, that she does not want to make out with him, that they are not already dating, and that she is not his girlfriend.

That last point causes the most trouble-- Kazuhiko has made the claim that she is on more than one occasion. Beautiful, sophisticated Masami has a tremendous crush on Kazuhiko, and was quite angry to hear that he, in turn, was dating quiet, intellectual Sumie. She won't forgive Sumie for stealing him away like that!

Masami isn't a great danger to Sumie, of course. She doesn't attack the snake ninja physically, but gets her revenge in smaller, more social ways. And that hurts Sumie very much-- because she's come to realize that she's in love with Masami...
