Personality
Tomboy: Izumi is a tomboy. Plain and simple, she is very rough and tumble and always eager to participate and be 'one of the guys'. This is likely due to her Yanki nature in her schooldays and was further compounded by a stint in prison. Now she is often very bold and in your face about things.

Secret Self: Izumi doesn't often act 'girly' but when she does she is quick to try and hide it, or even yell at people who noticed it.

Dedicated: Izumi is dedicated and loyal, and if she pledges her self to a person, team or cause its simply how it is. She doesn't pledge lightly, but is always open to opportunities, especially when people need her help.

Animal Lover: Izumi loves animals, partially due to her abilities with tattoos but even then, shes always had a pet of some kind.
