Jun Sumisaki
From Bless
Jun Sumisaki is the female lead of Bless, a first year high school student who hides her height and freckles while dreaming of becoming a model. She is voiced by Chiyuki Miura in Japanese.
About Jun Sumisaki
Jun Sumisaki is Aia Udagawa's classmate in Bless, a tall girl with freckles who hunches down to hide both, and who quietly dreams of being a model. A school runway contest, and Aia's makeup brush, start to convince her that the face she has been hiding is the one worth showing.
Appearance
Jun is strikingly tall for her age, 178.5 cm, with very long dark hair, blue eyes and a face full of freckles. At school she wears her uniform plainly and carries herself hunched, trying to take up less space. In her official art there are two versions of her: the girl shrinking into herself, and the model standing straight, and the distance between them is her whole story.
Personality
Jun is quiet, timid and hard on herself. She was bullied for her freckles and learned to apologise for existing at her full height. But the dream never died. She kept practising the runway walk her mother taught her, in private, for years. When she finally steps out as a model, the shyness does not vanish. She just starts walking anyway, which is braver.
Background & Story
Jun grew up ashamed of her freckled face, hunching at school to hide her height and her looks. Her mother taught her how models walk, and Jun kept that practice going in secret, a small daily act of hope. When her school's runway contest pairs her with Aia, she agrees to model with him doing her makeup. The pair work beautifully together, Jun discovering a confidence she never knew she could show, and her path toward modelling, and Aia's toward makeup, open up side by side.
Powers & Abilities
- The walk: Jun's skill is the runway walk her mother taught her, practised quietly for years while she hid from attention. It is proof she never fully gave up on her dream, even when she could not say it out loud.
- Presence: What Jun is learning, with Aia's help, is presence: standing at her full height, meeting the lights, and letting people look. Her height and freckles, the things she hid, turn out to be what make her memorable as a model.
Key Relationships
- Aia Udagawa: Her classmate and stylist. Aia sees the model in Jun before she can see it herself, talks her into the school contest, and does the makeup that helps her step out.
- Hikaru Oya: The famous model and makeup artist at the top of the world Jun wants to enter, and a founder of the Mirror makeup school.
