Shimizu Esora



Shimizu Esora (清水絵空) is a character in the D4DJ franchise, and is a member of the group Peaky P-key.

Appearance
Esora is shown with wavy green hair reaching her lower back, typically tied in pigtails with various white hair ties. Her eyes are a slightly lighter green than her hair.

Description
Esora is the backup vocals, dancer and self-proclaimed "lovely" member of Peaky P-key. A natural-born entertainer, she joined the unit to bring entertainment to everyone. She was born to a wealthy family and is willing to spend her own fortune to achieve this goal. She is skilled at getting people to let their guards down and speak their minds.

Etymology
Shimizu (清水) can be split into two parts. Shi (清), which translates to clear, clean or pure, and Mizu (水), which can translate to water.

Esora (絵空) can also be split into two parts. E (絵), which translates to picture, sketch, drawing or painting, and Sora (空), which translates to sky.

Inuyose Shinobu
Fellow unit member. Esora and Shinobu are on good terms and tend to often tease each other. Esora likes teasing Shinobu especially over her distaste for bitter green vegetables, going as far as tricking her into eating a bitter melon-flavored macaron during the latter's birthday area conversation.

Shiratori Kurumi
Esora and Kurumi attended the same elementary school, so Esora is familiar with Kurumi's mischievous nature. Though she is prone to falling for Kurumi's pranks, there are times when Esora is able to outsmart her.

Takeshita Miiko
Similarly to Kurumi, Esora and Miiko were former classmates in elementary school. She refers to Miiko with the honorific "-san" despite the fact that she normally doesn't include it with those that are the same age as her. Unlike others, Esora is able to get on-board with Miiko's quirky imagination.

Togetsu Rei
She and Rei met when they were in elementary school, at a piano recital. Esora admires Rei and wishes she could be like her, and also loves her piano playing. Talking to Rei at that recital convinced Esora to quit piano and to find something that she could truly enjoy (that being Peaky P-key). They are close friends and give each other birthday gifts every year.
