Shimizu Esora (清水絵空?) is a character in the D4DJ franchise, and is a member of the group Peaky P-key.
Profile[]
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.[1]
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.
Personality[]
Esora, similarly to Rei, often becomes the object of a running gag parodying their wealth and some distance from ordinary girls, Esora is usually portrayed as an eccentric yet understanding individual. In particular, her teasing of her groupmates often shows a certain understanding of the intricacies of their interactions or intentions.
Various in-game scenes imply that this is due to her rich emotional intelligence and her ability to both deeply experience both things personally related to her and those around her. For example, she is deeply touched when others or Rei herself comments on how they appreciate their relationships with Esora.
