Suguha "Leafa" Kirigaya is one of the main characters from the Sword Art Online anime and light novels.
Kirito's younger cousin and sister by adoption. In ALO, she is a Sylph warrior called Leafa and is well known for being one of the fastest flyers in the game. Like the other characters, she is smart IRL and in game, competent, and caring.
In the AWA fics, Suguha is a student at the AWA Academy and is part of Class 10.
In the XP4 fics, Suguha debuted in the XP4 Heroes Coalition - Neo-City Diaries.
Appearance[]
Suguha has short black hair and dark grey eyes, almost blackish. Her breasts are very large, compared to other members of the female cast, although she has grown a lot recently. She also has a cute childish look and is often seen with an embarrassed expression, especially when around her cousin.
Due to her kendo training, Suguha has strong and defined muscles that show up even when she makes small movements. Kazuto has described her as monstrously muscular and although he claims to be exaggerating, he does state that she is heavier than she looks.
Suguha's three sizes are 82-62-81 in the web serialization. This has been changed to 85-61-88 for her ALO avatar.
In ALfheim Online, Suguha appears more like an adult than a child. She has a long blond hair which tied up with a flower-like hairband to a ponytail. Her hair bangs, however, are not tied up with her hair, and her ears are quite long and pointy. She wears a green jacket with white linings and puffy shoulder sleeves and white frilled arm-sleeves over a white thigh-length singlet with frilled ends and a brown corset wrapped around her waist over a green tailcoat with white trimmings, she wears a white thigh-high legwear with frilled ends and brown straps in each thighs and brown boots with white folds. She wears a white choker with a gem on it.
Suguha's avatar maintains her long blond hair and green eyes from ALfheim Online, and her skin is pure white. She wears a grassy-colored outfit and shiny silver armor.
Personality[]
Unlike her cousin Kazuto, Suguha is upbeat and outgoing. She is much more social and converses easily with others. Even when Kazuto began to push her away after finding out they were not really siblings, she still treated him with good spirit and tried to get back in his life. She can be very aggressive towards those that annoy her or cross her and can easily lose her temper. This is demonstrated in one case when Recon attempted to kiss her after confessing his love to her and she punched him.
Despite her positive outlook and slightly aggressive behavior, Suguha can be somewhat fragile and delicate due to her young age, especially when her cousin, Kazuto is involved. After seeing Kazuto in a comatose state due to being locked in SAO, she broke down crying for the first time in years. In addition to this, once she found out that Kirito and Kazuto were the same person, she locked herself in her room away from her cousin and went into a slight depression. Most of the time she is quick to rebound from these moments and return to being the same upbeat girl.
