* ContrastingSequelMainCharacter: Akira Azuki is this to [[Fanfic/WhereTalentGoesToDie Kaori Miura]]. While Miura was [[NiceGirl a mild-mannered]] GirlyGirlWithATomboyStreak who only swears ''[[PrecisionFStrike once]]'' in the entire fic, Azuki is a {{tomboy}}ish JerkWithAHeartOfGold with [[SirSwearsALot a foul mouth]]. Miura had a "talent" she wasn't particularly proud of and looked up to Edogawa, eventually falling in love with her (a feeling Edogawa reciprocated). Azuki, however, has the highly desirable Ultimate Actress talent, and has two admirers- Nagato, whose feelings for her are platonic, and Kojima, who has an unrequited and unwanted crush on her. While Miura was quite uncomfortable with the notion of executing the blackened, Azuki has no qualms against it, being willing to sacrifice anyone who'd let the others die just to save themselves.
* GoodIsNotNice: Despite being a highly moral person who doesn't want to see her classmates come to harm, that doesn't mean Azuki ''likes'' all of her classmates, and can be quite open with that fact.
* GoodIsNotSoft: Unlike Miura, Azuki has no compassion or mercy for the blackened.
* HeroicSelfDeprecation: She often engages in this, particularly when she expresses that she doesn't think she can meaningfully contribute to the investigation.

If they say no, like Himemiya did, then Sasaki generally uses last names with -kun for boys and -san for girls, but if they say yes, she uses first names with -kun for boys and -chan for girls.
* ThePerfectionist: Similar to Mitamura, Sasaki is determined to achieve perfection, but in manga art rather than academics. Unlike Mitamura, Sasaki realizes that she'll never be completely perfect, and instead continually strives to improve herself..
