Sumire (スミレ, Sumire) is a supporting character from Baoh.

A ten-year old girl with psychic abilities, she was kidnapped by Doress, as they wish to exploit her psychic abilities.

Appearance

Sumire is a little nine years old girl with light hair tied in a ponytail. Sumire has big oval eyes with long eyelashes, fitting her youth, and also thick eyebrows.

Sumire loosely wears a plain light dress over a dark shirt, and sneakers.

Sumire also keeps a pet named Notsuo with her. Notsuo is a strange squirrel-like creatures with a stripped tail, large furry ears and large red eyes. Notsuo is often seen standing on Sumire's shoulder.

Personality

Sumire can be summed up as a bright but impertinent little girl.

Sumire is remarkably clever for two reasons. The first is her natural resourcefulness; for instance she was able to use the items in her cell to make an elaborate trap and trick Sophine and she is proactive in acting out plans for her and Ikuro to make money. The second reason is that her psychic powers give her an edge in foreseeing dangers and predict the next best course of action. Her strong intuition allowed her to figure out that she was being drugged but also that Ikuro was a trustworthy partner.

Sumire is also quite rude and has little respect of authority. She is remarkably impertinent to adults she doesn't like, notably Sophine who was her handler but also the old man who she insulted repeatedly. Perhaps because of her youth, Sumire is also indifferent to the law and doesn't hesitate to steal or cheat at gambling, excusing it by the urgency of her situation. However, Sumire has a soft heart and wept when a women and her child were murdered by one of Doress' monsters.

Sumire shows a great deal of determination against Doress. She is consistently defiant against them and whenever she is captured makes it a point to escape or make her captors' life hell, but could also endure the torture of being exposed to deafening sound for hours without screaming.

Sumire keeps a pet named Notsuo with her; while she likes him, she is also disgusted at Notsuo for licking her face and eating bugs.

Sumire seems to have a crush on Ikuro Hashizawa due to his looks and her knowledge of his good heart. Even seven years after Ikuro's disappearance, Sumire eagerly awaits his return.

Abilities

Sumire divining a password

Sumire is a remarkable psychic whose powers revolve around divining relevant information. The nature of the information and the method by which she obtains it is irrelevant, but is instinctive and automatic. Sumire has manifested her divining skills in the following ways:

  • Instinct: Sumire has a strong instincts and she can usually feel the truth of precise matters. For instance, she automatically trusted Ikuro but also was sure that Ikuro was merely slumbering at the bottom of the sea rather than being dead.
  • Automatic Writing: She can write unconsciously to produce words or numbers which can be used to access codes to locking mechanisms.
  • Precognition: She occasionally has visions of future events, which allows her and Ikuro to act ahead of time.
  • Table Turning: She can gain information with this power using a coin and notepad with numbers and "Yes" and "No" on it.
