"The truth is, they hated me. I was a burden to them. They tried to cover it up. They repressed those feelings for years, but in the end they broke. After that, there was no going back. They told me they didn’t want me."

- Isuzu Langley Sohryu

Appearance
Isuzu is a beautiful, young woman with a fair complexion, sharp, gradient blue eyes, and dark hip-length hair. She also have a beauty mark on the side of her eye

For the most part, she is seen wearing her hair down, but will opt to style it in either low buns or ponytails whenever she wants her hair out of the way. She would later wear nape-length hair styled in a wolf cut. In addition, she would dye her hair with teal undertone highlights underneath.

Isuzu usually likes to wear dark-colored, revealing clothes, some of which have a goth influence on them. The accessories that she wears along with her outfits are mostly from Vivienne Westwood.

Her nails are long and shapely, usually painted red; in the past she painted them black. Isuzu paints her toenails red as well. She usually wear a black mascara, a pink eyeshadow, and a pink lipstick. Isuzu has enviably long lashes and only has one piercing in each of her ears.

At school, she wears the standard Keio University uniform and a brown schoolbag with a guitar keychain attached to it.

Personality
Possessing a sarcastic, apathetic attitude, Isuzu does not put much emotion into her words. She loves teasing others and is quite dry-humored. Isuzu generally tends to smirk before teasing or performing her antics towards others, delighting in placing them in uncomfortable situations. She can be proud and facetious but has a nice, joyful and cheery part of her

Though Isuzu can also be sharp-tongued, wielding words as a weapon just to lash out at the world for the cruelty she experienced. She doesn’t hesitate to say things that will hurt people, but she doesn’t say anything to protect herself either. With the possibility raised upfront, Isuzu also does not shy away from displaying a manipulative side.

After suffering from constant abuse and abandonment from her parents in her childhood years, her self-worth and trust in people were destroyed badly. Although she'd blame herself for her own suffering and that she came to believe that her parents wouldn’t have hated and abandoned her if she wasn't a “bad” child, she grew majorly depressed as a result. Although, she claims that she does not care about the conflict inside her family. Unlike Izuna, she lacks ambition and only wants to do well in her studies to obtain an easy life. Due to her upbringing, Isuzu grew up without knowing what a real family is, and never truly cared about anyone except for Kagura, Kyo, and Yuki, that is. Isuzu shows surprisingly little emotion when discussing her sister's death, suggesting an emotional detachment to people she knows. She may also keep her friends away at an arm's length.

Later on, Isuzu is revealed to be a lonely girl, shut away in an apartment on her own. With high expectations of herself, Isuzu thought how her older sister was a once-in-a-century genius and so she could not live up to these expectations. Whilst Takumi was the only reason she remained sane, in the end, he had also abandoned her, and that shattered Isuzu’s resolve to form bonds with others. When Kagura and Yuki offered to take care of her after seeing the mess in her apartment, she pushed them away, claiming that they are only there to use and exploit her. Isuzu’s lack of faith in others caused her to believe that she can only rely on herself, as there is no one else to trust. Because of this, she believes in people less overall and is more negative about matters.

Although she still doesn’t like to show herself emotionally open and her aloof and sarcastic personality remains, she grows openly protective towards Hachi. She is also noted to be quite dishonest with her feelings, rarely shows her real feelings.

Background
Before being summoned into the world where the story takes place, Itsuki lived in an alternate world to our own, where some individuals were born with various supernatural-like abilities. Itsuki was born with the supernatural ability "Accuracy", meaning any ranged shot of a weapon or device he fired would - if not blocked - hit its target. As such, he was admitted to a high school designed for children with abilities.

Due to his experiences in middle school, which he spent in a regular class with people without abilities, he had developed an impression that he was particularly special due to his ability. However, his ego plummeted upon entry to the high school as he found he was classed among the weakest of those with abilities. Due to his supposed weak ability, he was bullied throughout his school years and turned to console games to escape reality. On his way home from prep school, he was suddenly hit by a speeding truck with no warning. He later found himself summoned to another world as one of the 4 Legendary Heroes, The Bow Hero.
