Suzy Mizuno, known in Japan as Suzume Mizuno (水野鈴芽 Mizuno Suzume), is a recurring supporting character and a classmate of Kiyo Takamine from the anime and manga series Zatch Bell! Suzy also appears in a comic short within the Zatch Bell! graphic novels called Zatch and Suzy.

In the English version of the series, Suzy is voiced by Colleen O'Shaughnessey. In the Japanese version, Suzume is voiced by Tomoko Akiya.

Biography[]

She goes to the same junior high school as Kiyo Takamine. She wears a white and blue sailor fuku even when she's not in school (the casual version has left on the scarf and on the arms) and has no mamodo or spellbook of her own, although she's often seen with Ponygon.

Suzy is one of Kiyo's first friends. She also has a not-so-secret crush on him and is jealous of other girls that Kiyo spends time around, more notably Megumi and Shion. She is a self-proclaimed klutz and often gets sidetracked from the original task at hand and ends up as the maiden in distress while Kiyo is the "knight in shining armor". Suzy freely admits that she has trouble with various academic subjects, particularly mathematics. Her favorite hobby is to draw faces on fruits and other round objects to express her feelings. She also is in the choir. She refers to herself as a "squash-brain".

On the other hand, one of the positive traits that Suzy has, and indeed can be confirmed, is her ability with a knife, which is demonstrated in the first opening theme in the anime; however, this does not extend to cooking, as she is a terrible cook, as seen in episode 104. Her friends seem to think that she has some sort of mental disorder, or at least naiveté and foolishness.

However, she does have her redeeming qualities – she was one of the few who believed in Kiyo and was his friend before he met Zatch when he was aloof and cold to everyone. Although she was initially mocked at by others for trying to be friends with Kiyo, she still maintained her friendliness with him. This friendship is seen to have a lasting impact on Kiyo, as he remembers this before his death in the manga chapter 214, and also dreams of teaching Suzy some homework during the Faudo Arc like feeling guilty for being cold to her.
