スミレ

Sumire, also called "Sumire of the Twilight", is the Seventh Rank of the School Youkai. If someone plays in the school yard until late in the day they'll discover a strange girl. It's whispered that this youkai leads those children astray and spirits them away.

Wearing a kimono the colour of "sumire" (violet), she appears just like a doll that would fit in at a tea ceremony. She used to play among the other children wearing this, but she was bullied for it. It seems she was once a child raised learning the ways of tea ceremony on a tatami. However, the malicious modern society changed her. She became the bullying youkai.

Because she became bullied, she mass-produced bullies as a spectacle. She is happy the more bullied she is, but now, the unknown pleasures she's taking interest in are terrifying. Sumire feeds on the souls of those who are bullied, so she has a need to create bullies. She does this by "transferring" into a class under a different name, and makes herself a target of bullying. She has powers to make people addicted to bullying (supposedly her tears), so that when they have to move classes, they can spread the "need" to bully like a virus.

After infiltrating Yukari's class, Sumire had successfully converted the entire class (even the teacher) into bullies. However, Higanbana thwarted her plans by causing a bus full of the bullies (en route to an excursion site) to crash, which killed them all.

Since there's no TV in the tea room, she's envious that Higanbana has a TV. She often butts heads with Higanbana over prey, and so they are rivals in hunting./
