Izumo Kamiki

Izumo Kamiki is a character from the Ao no Exorcist anime and manga.

A stubborn, haughty girl with twintails who initially mocked Shiemi. Instant expert at calling up Familiars, rather skilled in combat. She's quite a jerk but is a good person deep inside and is a top student in both normal school and cram school.

In the AWA fics, Izumo is a student at the AWA Academy.

Appearance
Izumo is a young woman of slender figure and petite appearance. She has fair skin with a rosy tint, a round face with fine features, big dark red eyes with cat-like shape and small oval shaped eyebrows, and long dark purple hair which she usually keeps in a twintails or a ponytail hairstyle. Her eyebrows are the reason why Rin Okumuracalls her by the nickname polkabrows. Izumo also has been called "cute" by Yohei.

Her outfit is primarily the school uniform, whch consist on a white colored shirt with the red-black school tie is tied with a large bow, tight white thigh highs, a short pink skirt with a black belt, and black shoes. It is revealed that she wears a push up bra to avoid looking flat-chested. When performing ritual dances, Izumo wears a priestess outfit with a fox mask, flower-printed haori coat and two fans.

Personality
According to herself, Izumo is someone with a bad attitude who hates to lose, being very cold, blunt and condescending towards those around her except for her very close ones. Like Ryuji, she is almost always frowning, one of the few times she isn't is when she is smiling smugly at someone's expense. Though not cruel, Izumo is somewhat manipulative, taking advantage of Shiemi's naivety when asked to be her friend by essentially making her her servant.

Despite her cold nature and initially acting arrogant towards others' goals, Izumo occasionally shows true kindness and consideration towards others, even though she doesn't appear that way. This causes her to encourage her friends when they are frustrated, as well as finally recognizing their different priorities. Despite being an Exorcist, Izumo is open and even curious to Demons, noticing their differences and respecting them as she eventually realizes all things/beings complement each other. This made her the first Exwire to accept Rin after learning that he was the son of Satan, as well as scolding the others for their poor treatment of him.

Stemming from the isolation she suffered as a child for being able to see demons and her family's separation by those she asked for help, Izumo grew up distrustful of other people, convincing herself that she couldn't rely on anyone and kept her distance from everyone in her class except Paku, even saying she would rather die than be friends with them. After the group start working together though, Izumo starts to open up to them more, even putting herself in danger for her now friends and feeling down the few times she couldn't help them.

At first, Izumo easily lost confidence when she saw her friends in distress, even temporarily losing control of her familiars after witnessing Paku get badly injured by a Ghoul. Overtime, Izumo has slowly learned to stay calm and composed during battles.

Izumo is very self-conscious about her appearance: She hates the way she gets a crease between her eyebrows when reading, studying, or thinking hard. Futhermore, after seeing Shura and Shiemi's large bare breasts and figures, Izumo says while crying in a comedic way how poorly endowed she is and lacking in many places.

Abilities
Spectral Awareness: Having born with Demon blood, Izumo has the ability to see Demons.

Demonic Possesion: Being daughter of the chief priestess of the Inari Shrine, Izumo has the ability to perform ritualistic dances to appease demons and contain them within herself.
 * Divine Summoning (Kamioroshi) (Formerly): This dance allows the performer to appease and assimilate the Nine-Tailed Fox Spirit, resides within the Life-Taking Stone, having the power to kill anything that neared and revived anything dead.

Tamer
Izumo is a natural skilled Tamer, which she believes that is related to her distant relation to the Byakko. She has exceptional spiritual strength, even when she is severely wounded, as this is the key to controlling familiars. Her knowledge and resourceful use of their skills is also impressive, allowing her to use her familiars for offensive and supporting purposes. Izumo often summons Mike and Uke, two chibi-like foxes whom she calls her Brothers. They are very strong despite their size, being able to carrying the Stone Lantern in training camp.
 * Purification of Spirits (Tamayura no Harai): Izumo can send Mike and Uke forward, asking them to biting the target at very high speeds, to the point of forming a furious hurricane-like circle. This is especially useful when dealing with extremely durable demon-types.
 * Great Sacred Wine of Heavens (Ama no Ōmiki): Izumo can ask Ukemochi to transform into a bowl and pour holy wine with similar properties to Holy Water. It is strong enough to put out Rin's Flames of Satan.
 * Purification for Repose (Mitama Shizume no Harai): By chanting, Izumo can summon a flowered headdress with fox ears, a big fan, and divine bells, all while asking Ukemochi and Miketsu to transform into their humanoid forms. Then, she can send Mike carrying a bow to swiftly stabbing the target and Uke wielding a bow to fire an arrow made of light which strikes the opponent like lightning. This is usually directed to "monstrous" demon-types weak to Spirit or Light attribute abilities.
