Suzuya

About
Suzuya was a kunoichi in the employ of the royal family of JAPAN. After the princess Shizuku Kobayakawa and her lover, Gaji Gijiku, fled the country to elope to Toushin City, Suzuya was sent to bring them to an ugly end in retalation for the public dishonor. She left with severl Low-Rank Ninjas in her employ, who followed her orders.

Unfortunately for all involved, Suzuya had a history with Gaji and had secretly been in love with him. Perhaps as a consequence, her plan for revenge was particularly cruel. Learning that Gaji had entered the Toushin Tournament in hopes of gaining the political power to resist any pressure from JAPAN, Suzuya attempted to coerce Gaji's next opponent, Seed Cashima, into collaborating with her. Since neither of them were able to defeat Gaji in a straight fight, Suzuya would injure him and then leave the rest to Seed, threatening him to kill Gaji and then rape Shizuku as part of her tournament forfeit, certain that she would then commit suicide.

Suzuya's ultimate fate is in the hands of the player. While the player can cooperate with her, in which case she presumably returns to JAPAN, the player is also able to track her down and confront her. In this outcome, Suzuya attempts to seduce Seed and then murder him while he is distracted, but he is able to reverse the blow, and Suzuya dies, whispering about Gaji.

Trivia

 * The character that eventually became Suzuya was originally envisioned as a bald middle-aged man covered in scars. This was changed into Suzuya when the development staff determined that there was a lack of female characters and associated erotic content during the section of the game in which she appeared.
 * In the Tournament of the Gods OVA series, Suzuya (only ever named by Gaji using the familiar name, "Suzi") kidnaps Hazuki Mizuhara to coerce Seed's cooperation, arguably an homage to Xavier's story arc, which does not appear in the OVA. Seed is able to rescue Hazuki, only for a distraught and lovesick Suzuya to attack him, forcing him to kill her in self-defense.
 * Suzuya is voiced by Satomi Koorogi (こおろぎ さとみ) in the Tournament of the Gods OVA series and by Aya Saito (齋藤 綾) in Toushin Toshi GIRLS GIFT
