Izumi Suzuki

One of the new writers working on Elemenstor Gearstrike, a spinoff of ElamenSTAR, Izumi Suzuki is an experienced comics artist and writer, having helmed the art and story for three highly successful girls' comics, including the sci-fi romance "Lovely Nickle Girl Elabu" (whose titular heroine's full name, Elabu Kotai, is a corruption of "Taiko Bura'e") and the cute shounen-ai fantasy romp "Blue Flower of Satan," described by fans as "'Paradise Lost' meets 'When Harry Meets Sally' meets 'girly-looking boys staring at each other longingly while flowers swirl in the background.'"

Izumi is self-professed fangirl for Tycho Brahe's The Elemenstor Saga, as well as the ELotH comic book and even The Wizbits Cartoon. She has the deepest respect for James Langomedes's edits to the series, describing the comatose(?) scribe as "the Jackal Madness God of Animation." Besides her startling array of fan comics and multiple contributions to the Sad Harbinger Portent in Snow genre of fanart, she has also translated the comic into Japanese and stockpiled Serafina's Hot Love Express Power for future generations to sample. To show support for Langomedes, she is fermenting several cans of the energy drink mixed with grape juice pressed with blocks of graphite, mulched newspaper, and "certain ingredients it would be improper to divulge while on record," to serve to Langomedes when he wakes up.

Rumors circulate that she is not quite used to the environment fostered by the American writers of The Wizbits, and is reportedly "unprepared" for the furious brawls and curious drinking games used to settle disputes. Despite this, she's gone on record as saying "If I don't make it to the end, at least I'll be able to say I gave Brad a black eye over the title of the third episode."

Suzuki currently lives in her two-bedroom apartment, one bedroom used to hold several million yens worth of merchandise.
