Akihime, Sumomo

秋姫すもも

A cute but shy girl who only talks to her close friend Nako. She is a Stellar Spinner, a type of stardrop-collecting magician, revealed to be a human substitute for someone who fell ill and could not come to the human world to collect the stardrops. She has a deep crush on Masaharu, and although she has him as a partner in collecting stardrops, she is unaware of his true identity. She has a very non-confrontational attitude, and when she meets Masaharu in his stuffed animal form, she names him "Yuki-chan" (because it sounds cute) and insists he use the word "boku" to refer to himself instead of the more boastful and manly "ore".
She is very shy around water and cannot swim, but soon learns to overcome this when a stardrop falls into a pool. Sumomo is a replacement Stellar Spinner of the Prima Pramu school. She is later revealed to be the daughter of Karin Kisaragi (Natsume's sister), who was considered the greatest Stellar Spinner of all time, unbeknownst to Sumomo at the time. She later learns Masaharu's secret, and because of this, he turns into a doll and she cries, doubting her love. When she discovers the side effect of the potion to cure Masaharu, the couple decides to spend their last night together, ending it with a kiss before he drinks the potion, and now Sumomo is struggling with how to express love without upsetting him.
