Sarina Shizukume

Sarina Shizukume (Japanese: 雫芽 さりな, Shizukume Sarina) is a major antagonist turned anti-heroine of Magical Girl Site. She was introduced as the school's bully of Aya Asagiri, the main protagonist of the series at school. In this series, Sarina takes a pleasure to make Aya's life miserable, beating her up and vandalizing her stuff.

Why She Sucks

 * 1) She's one of the clichéd pretty rude mean girls.
 * 2) She is an unexpected villain in the first chapter and the first episode. She is shown to a mean-spirited bully who cares much about making Aya's life a living hell, which is incredibly forced.
 * 3) She barely has any character development at all.
 * 4) She has no mention with her relationship with her sister, Saki, and their mother.
 * 5) She uses her friends Erika Kajima, Ai Kawano, and Shota Arai to bully Aya for no clear reason and they do not get punished.
 * 6) She is cruel and very sadistic than Aya's brother Kaname, who both beat up Aya and are proud of it.
 * 7) She treats Aya like a poor puppy who doesn't deserve good treatment and is the source of her misfortune.
 * 8) She maybe a 14-year-old but Sarina bullies Aya nonstop. Doings things like:
 * 9) * Throwing dodgeball on Aya.
 * 10) * Putting bugs inside Aya's seat.
 * 11) * Throwing darts on Aya's phone.
 * 12) * Vandalizing her school lunch, class locker, shoes, desk, and chair.
 * 13) * Drowning her face in the water of the toilet.
 * 14) * Killing a cat.
 * 15) * Sending an older male student to deal with Aya.
 * 16) * Scarring her with a box cutter.
 * 17) * Tried to kill her and her other classmate, Tsuyuno Yatsumura.
 * 18) She's a villain sue.
 * 19) Even when Aya tries to be nice to her, she still bullies her, nonstop for no reason.
 * 20) She's shown to be very ungrateful as shown whenever Aya was weak and clumsy, she still ridicules her for no reason.
 * 21) She has no reasonable explanation for bullying Aya since her first day of school. She only hates Aya for being ungrateful as a weakling.
 * 22) There's no backstory about her along with her two friends, Erika and Ai nor Shota.
 * She, Shota and their two feminine cronies have no character development and personality, whatsoever. But they're just underaged sadists for no reason. Worst, they act like creeps compared to Kaname, but more one-dimensional.
 * 1) Despite being unlikeable, she gets a lot of screen time from both the manga and anime.
 * 2) Sarina and her friends may seem to be antagonists and sociopathic sadists, but they act as selfish bullies of themselves who cruelly tormented Aya and forced her to the point of considering suicide. If that happened, they showed no remorse or care for their actions. Not helped by the way that they never get any real comeuppance for their actions whatsoever; however, Sarina with Erika, used an older male musclebound student named Shota Arai to assault Aya, but Aya teleported him and Erika to a train in death.
 * 3) She doesn't get punished at all when bullying Aya.
 * 4) She would bully Aya if she wants Sarina to stop for ignorant reasons.
 * 5) She's a female rip off of Katsuki Bakugo, who is also mean-spirited as well.
 * 6) After Erica and Shota were killed by the train, Sarina became much more of a killer as she is just a 14 year old when she used a box cutter to scar Aya for revenge, while her crony, Ai, pleaded her to stop her. But, yells at her friend by ignoring her warnings.
 * 7) *Then, she then goes on to kill Soji Udano (murderer of Tsuyuno Yatsumura's parents, with her Yo-Yo magic stick and shows no remorse of her actions.
 * 8) HYPOCRISY: She may have come across as a vengeful girl, but she is no less than a pathetic liar pretending to be the victim who just sent Shota Arai to assault Aya and teleport him with Erika to death in a train and thinks Aya was the reason she murdered them.
 * 9) IDIOT MOVE: She tells Aya to shoot the Site admin, INSTEAD of turning it back into a human.

Redeeming Qualities

 * 1) She does indeed regret her actions when Aya tries to stand up to herself saying she is done being tormented by her and rescued her from a falling building.
 * 2) In later chapters, she begun to have good terms and much likeable when she teamed up with Aya and her friends to fight the site admins.
 * 3) Her voice acting is good trying to intimidate her like a tomboy.
 * 4) She did have character development in later chapters.
 * 5) In the new timeline, Sarina does get her memories rewritten and seemingly remembers the parts from the original timeline. So, she no longer bullies Aya.

Trivia:

 * 1) Sarina can be compared Katsuki Bakugo from My Hero Academia, who is also a mean spirited bully:
 * 2) *Both are extremely mean-spirited along with their friends, insult and disrespect people to everyone they know, even bully Aya Asagiri and Izuku Midoriya by discouraging them during their first day of school.
 * 3) *Both have a difference where Katsuki desired to become a number one hero and prove himself despite his egotistical-narcissitic attitude along with his unheroic actions. While Sarina cares about bullying Aya for no reason.
 * 4) *They are bullies who threatened their victims to contemplate suicide.
 * 5) *Katsuki's actions are unheroic and villainous, while Sarina's actions are unjustifiable and even more villainous.
 * 6) *They are depicted like delinquents.
 * 7) *But, they do redeem themselves and are aware of their actions and mistakes
 * 8) *Sarina can also be compared to Henry Bowers from Stephen King's novel, IT:
 * Both are rapidly developed into hateful, loathing, insufferable individuals who would often display accessive negative and stereotypical feelings toward those around them (particularly their classmates).
 * They both use knives to scar their victims.
 * Both lose one of their friends to death when they try to chase their bullying victims, but difference is that Sarina lost her friend, Erika Kajima, and older student Shota Arai when they were trying to torture Aya, their friend's classmate. But, of course, Sarina and Ai Kawano do witnessed their friends' deaths. In Henry's, he and his gang tried to chase an obese student named Ben Hanscom when they tried to scar his body, and by that, one of their gang, Patrick Hockstetter (in the 2017 film version of the novel and miniseries), is killed by It, or called Pennywise the Dancing Clown. As unlike Sarina grieving, Henry doesn't care or even aware that Patrick died.
 * Henry doesn't apologize while Sarina does.
 * Both treat their friends very poorly.
 * They showed no remorse in killing people.
 * There is a difference for their fates where Sarina was revived in a new timeline where no one is misfortuned and still have good terms despite Aya rewrote her memories of herself in the original timeline. While Henry, as an adult, is killed by one of the grown up adult Losers, Richie Tozier.
