Plot
Suzu sees Matsuri catching an ayakashi cat, and she takes it from him, commenting that he is harmless. She takes him elsewhere, commenting that they used to be spend time with Matsuri and ayakashi, but as he took over his family business of ninja exorcist, he started telling her to stay away from the ayakashi. Shirogane tells her he is the King of Ayakashi and that Suzu is an Ayakashi Medium, having energy over the charts that make her desired snack for all ayakashi. As he transforms into his original form, wanting to eat her, Matsuri shows up and they start fighting. Eventually Matsuri manages to use a scroll to seal most of Shirogane's power, but Shirogane uses a jutsu turning Matsuri into a girl.

Powers & Abilities
As a result of being the Ayakashi Medium, Suzu is said to be as much Ayakashi as she is human. Being the Ayakashi Medium also means she has an incredible amount of Haku, the life energy that flows in all living beings. Besides, unlike other human beings, Suzu can manipulate her Haku, something she's done unconsciously in the past. Garaku claims this ability to be worthy of being an Ayakashi God, as she can use it to perform miraculous deeds for Ayakashi, such as healing wounds or nullify curses. She used this ability unconsciously to control the octopus created by Garaku and make it protect her but once she learned about her ability, she quickly improved her control of it to the point of consciously perform a lot of different things with it.

Omokage
An omokage is a cloned Ayakashi of a human being, created by a great amount of haku energy leaving their body. Suzu's Omokage manifested for the first time without her being aware of it. The Omokage is linked to Suzu's actual body, she can see through its eyes, or feel whatever the Omokage feels, which means hurting the Omokage will directly hurt Suzu herself. After she learned how to control her Haku, Suzu's been able to consciously summon her Omokage and control its actions, even while letting it go to a remote place, however if she's emotionally shocked, the omokage instantly vanishes. As she progressed in her control of her Omokage, she proved to be able to change its size, making it very small to sneak in different places. She is also able to create multiple mini Omokage at once. Even though she seems to have a perfect control of it, her Omokage once acted on its own and almost confessed to Matsuri when she had a hard time repressing her feelings. Being entirely made of Haku, Omokage are considered as Ayakashi, but since they take form of the human being they originated from, they are visible to humans which means Suzu has to be wary when using this ability in the presence of people.

Origami
By adding her Haku energy to origamis, she can control them and use them as very quick projectiles. However, due to her personality, she never uses them to hurt Ayakashi or people

Matsuri Kazamaki
He is Suzu's best friend and love interest, although at first she and Matsuri used to play with the ayakashi over time and due to Matsuri's work both grew apart, it would not be until Shirogane's arrival that Suzu would understand Matsuri's actions becoming close friends again, due to various situations Suzu would confess her feelings to Matsuri being reciprocated and leaving her as a promise that when Matsuri becomes a man they would start dating.

Shirogane
Due to Suzu's love for the ayakashis, Suzu would try to help Shirogane when Matsuri wants to exterminate him, after knowing Shirogane's true intentions and Matsuri's gender change, Suzu decides to make a deal with him by helping him return to his original form if he helped Matsuri to become a man again. Shirogane would pose as a stray cat found by Suzu. Over time, Shirogane has become protective of Suzu being the one to stop Suzu from acting or thinking perverted things.
