Zakuro Kurumaki

Zakuro Kurumaki is the best friend of Rin Azuma. She debuted as a possessed antagonist hired by Enjin Hiizumi. She soon recovered and now works at the Houran Ramen Store with Rin.

Appearance
Zakuro is a young girl around Hime's height with red chin-length hair that gradually lengthens as it gets to her face. Her eyes are of a yellow colour. When she was possessed and hired by Enjin, she wore a large cross-boned headwear on the right of her hair, and had thick purple eyelashes and distinctive red lines in her eyes. She is always seen in a Chinese qipao.

Personality
Zakuro is gentle and sweet, a similar personality to Rin's. When the two were younger, Zakuro confessed that she befriended Rin because she herself was rather lonely, which shows some selfishness. When she was possessed, she had an over-bearing and sadistic nature.

History
Zakuro and Rin met in a forest when Rin ran away from people who hated Yokai's. Zakuro immediately took Rin in her residence (much to the fact that she was lonely herself). They two bonded quickly and Rin's amazing cooking abilities were taught by Zakuro. One day when the two were flower picking on a vast mountain, Zakuro confessed that she befriended Rin for her satisfaction. Zakuro promised Rin that she'll protect her forever, as she finished speaking, a lightning struck her and she was possessed. Soon later, Rin ran away to Sakurashin.

Necromancy
As a necromancer, Zakuro has the ability to bring anything that was alive and now dead, back to life. Zakuro summoned her strongest monster by dripping her blood to the floor. She often uses her monsters for a lift as seen when she and Rin were late for a delivery.
