Sunako Kirishiki

桐敷沙子

Sunako Kirishiki is one of the shiki, meaning "corpse demon", and the main antagonist of the series. Sunako has the appearance of a young girl with dark purple hair, pale skin, and hollow black eyes. She usually wears Victorian clothing. When she was human, her eyes were brown. Sunako is a young, playful girl. She enjoys reading books and mentions that she enjoyed reading Seishin's work while cooped up indoors. Despite her appearance, she displays knowledge that a child her age would not possess and exhibits some levels of religious affiliation, especially on death. In truth, Sunako is the leader of the shiki and the eldest of this group. She is mature and understanding, as she was a mother-figure to Chizuru. Despite being a shiki, Sunako does not kill out of malice, but survival, and wants to create a safe place for the shiki so that they could live in freedom. She demonstrates great care for others. For example, she mourned Chizuru's death and was worried about Seishirou when he did not return to the mansion.
