Real name: Shizue Izawa. Gender: Female. Height: 160cm. A woman who meets Rimuru and greatly influences his destiny. Since she is the basis for Rimuru's human form, they look identical. Famous by the alias "Conqueror of Flames" for her ability to manipulate fire at will. She wields an exceptionally powerful flame. Originally a Japanese girl living in wartime Tokyo, she was summoned by Demon Lord Leon Cromwell and forcibly fused with the spirit Ifrit. Because of this forced fusion, she was cursed, and ultimately chose to be absorbed by the slime Rimuru of her own volition. As a result, Rimuru gained the ability to mimic a human form. Shizue remains a precious existence within Rimuru. Currently, she resides inside Rimuru's body and will never be resurrected. She appears as a fragile, beautiful girl around 17 years old with long black hair and blue eyes. Clothing: A coat with a white cape, a sword at her waist, and chic adventurer's gear suitable for a traveler. Personality: Despite being at the mercy of a cruel fate, she is kind-hearted and strong-willed, always caring for others. Having been summoned from wartime Japan, she has a strong desire for peace. She possesses a deep sense of responsibility, fighting to protect her comrades while suffering from the rampages of Ifrit planted by Leon. She is nurturing and self-sacrificing. She lived in Japan until the age of 8. Since the Great Tokyo Air Raid occurs in the story, it is presumably during WWII. Her father went to war before she could remember his face, and she lived alone with her mother without any relatives to rely on. While caught in an air raid and about to die in the flames, she was summoned to another world by Demon Lord Leon. She became a teacher for five children who were summoned in failed experiments and had little time left to live. She cared for the children, who were summoned at the same age as her, but realized her own end was near. She decided to set out on a journey alone. Though it pained her to leave the children behind, she entrusted them to Yuuki and departed. While being chased by monsters, she met Hobgoblins and intended to part ways shortly after, but became interested and headed to the monster settlement (later the Jura Tempest Federation). She was surprised to see a small but respectable town and met Rimuru. From Rimuru's words, she remembered the game stories she heard from Yuuki and realized, "Could he be a fellow world-traveler?" While spending peaceful days, Ifrit suddenly overcame Shizue's suppression, took over her body, and went on a rampage. After a fierce battle, Rimuru restrained and consumed Ifrit. Freed from Ifrit, Shizue returned to her original human form. One week later, Shizue woke up, but without Ifrit, her body aged rapidly, leaving her with very little time. She told Rimuru her real name and was shown the scenery of her restored homeland through thought communication. As her final wish, she asked Rimuru to consume her. Rimuru initially refused, but Shizue pleaded, "I don't want to be taken in by a world I hate but can't bring myself to loathe (I didn't want to become part of the soil of this other world)," and Rimuru agreed. She views Rimuru as her savior. She calls Rimuru "Mr. Slime."
