Noriaki Suzume

Noriaki Suzume is a lieutenant of the Third Street Saints and serves as their PR Manager and formerly part of the Operators. Suzume is a part of Hazardverse.

Physical Appearance
Suzume is 5'3. Her hair is light black, but commonly dyed pink in the mix. She always rocks punk hairstyles such as a tribal bob, deathhawks, pixie undercuts, and a mohawk with bangs. The punk has a lot of piercings on her face like brow rings, nose studs, triple earrings on both ears with gauges, and a lip ring. Her fashion sense is traditional punk as she wears DIY studded leather/denim jackets, plaid (or patched-ridden) trouser pants, and black or pink leather boots with chains on them. Suzume notably wears denim vests with a plethora of patches and different patterns, commonly leopard or checkers, and wild style skirts that compliments torn fishnets and tights. She has a preference for pastel colors such as pink and lavender.

Suzume weighs 130lbs and has a slender figure. She has a few tattoos such as her lilipad sleeves, a fairy on her stomach, and a dagger on the right side of her leg. Her skin complexion is light olive.

Personality
Suzume is bubbly, imaginative, and often rebellious, but usually has good intentions behind it. She spends a lot of time socializing with people within her social groups and is never the one to hold back on whatever is on her mind. A lot of the time, her animated nature tends to bring liveliness to the Saints and they consider her as a friend to open up to, but when it comes to getting involved with the nitty-gritty stuff, she can be a set-back as optimism doesn't always help them in situations. While she's known for her positive personality there are times where Suzume can be patronizing and even condescending, mainly in the topics of music, pop culture, or internet culture. This is due to her extensive knowledge of media that she grew up with that gave her a feeling of "righteous superiority".

History
With a knowledgeable and resourceful mind so devoted to leading and helping others, it’s no wonder the child prodigy Suzume is the Saints’ unrealized hope of being likeable while being controversial in the eyes of the public. She didn’t get to where she is without the major influences of her family, friends, and the media in general. With her father’s fame as a movie star in the eighties and her mother having been working just as hard in the film industry for several years, Suzume had a lot to learn and be inspired about the inside outs of the media culture that she too wanted to be a part of. When Japan's economic bubble popped in late 1991, her family didn’t want to risk being part of the economic downfall so they had eventually moved to America in a more quiet, but recognizable city in Michigan. It was then where Suzume’s potential for something substantial started at a young age.

In the years of schooling and her parents willing enough to support her dreams, it nearly grinded to a screeching halt when Suzume started getting involved with the punk scene when she was fourteen. Her parents were much disapproving with her ideology of being anti-corporate and anti-authoritian, especially after years of supporting a dream she had greater desire in. Suzume was eventually kicked out of her home at age seventeen after an involvement with the police to which she had participated in burning down a police station.

With nowhere to go, she moved with a couple of friends to Stilwater not very far off and finished high school there. Suzume then attended Stilwater University in fall of 2006 and had a hard choice of choosing between a Music major or a rather ironic choice of a Marketing major. Suzume and her friends had discussed that if she wanted to get into marketing, she would have to use it to push true punk ideologies into the DIY scene and not exploit them. Ever since that decision, she hadn’t regretted her choice to return to her once-abandoned dream and turn it into something hopefully revolutionary.

Jade Antoinette
Jade was one the first of many Suzume met when she joined the Saints as Jade came to her while on break at Scratch That. The two took a liking to each other as they both like to live a out-of-the norm lifestyle and would talk a lot about horror movies whenever they had the time. They dated for a few months before Jade called it quits due to a fear of commitment. Nonetheless, Suzume still has a soft spot for her.

Shaundi
Shaundi and Suzume are very close friends. They both met when they were just first years at Stilwater University after Suzume moved to the city in mid 2006 and Shaundi happened to fit what Suzume saw in a person, chill and fun to be around with. While Suzume doesn't smoke with Shaundi, the two spent a lot of time hanging around at frat parties and playing skeeball at Adam's Arcade. Years later, Suzume would be Shaundi's biggest support in the time of grievance of Gat's death and overall personality shift.
