Difference between revisions of "Kasumi Horie/Notable Social Links"

• Minako Arisato: A bright, bubbly girl that Kasumi really enjoys being around. She is a member of SEES which is also a plus. Their most recent meeting happened by chance at Paulownia while Kasumi was shopping for uniforms for school and work.

I - THE MAGICIAN:

• Shiki Ichimonji: After a couple of meetings Kasumi has grown an interest in Shiki. He seems to be a good friend and has the most interesting hobby with writing manga. He also offered to help train her with her new weapons.

II - THE HIGH PRIESTESS:

• Maki Sonomura: Kasumi likes Maki et. al. She only recently came to understand the whole relationship between Maki and her two little sisters. Now she gets who they are for the most part and she is completely okay with this. Maki was the first person to give her hugs ICly (twice). She seems to be a very caring person.
• Masumi Hayashi: This is a budding friendship. Kasumi met her for the first time randomly in a park. They shared their interest in the occult. While she was pretty uncomfortable during the encounter, she became interested in the girl. However, there was a span of time where she did not see her. During this time, she found out that Masumi was shadow-possessed. Months later she ran into Masumi again and forgot about her 'state'. The meeting went totally wrong when Kasumi asked a simple question. Shortly after, she found out Masumi was missing and went with Hinata to try and save her. Being made aware of the possession again Kasumi didn't care and she helped take down a shadow that Masumi was controlling. Feeling horrible for the girl, she recently went to visit her and expressed her concern for her.

III - THE EMPRESS:

• Mitsuru Kirijo: Kasumi met her randomly in Port Island and she knows that she is a member of SEES as well as the heiress to the Kirijo group. After Mitsuru found out about Kasumi having the potential and experiencing the Dark Hour she offered to tell her more about SEES. Kasumi got her phone number from Aigis after their first meeting. They have had a couple of rather grim but meaningful meetings. She thinks that Mitsuru possesses a wisdom that is beyond her years. Kasumi mentioned that she had lost her mother and brother and Mitsuru shared that she too had lost her mother at a young age. It strengthened the bond that Kasumi felt towards her. Even though they have only known each other for a short time Kasumi trusts her in the same way that she trusts Himeru...maybe even more. Mitsuru was involved in Kasumi's dungeon rescue. At their first meeting afterward, Mitsuru asked her flat out about her family. Kasumi willingly answered and that was a major first for her.

IV - THE EMPEROR:

• Akatsuki Enda: Kasumi has run into him a few times. She doesn't really know too much about him but he has offered her quite a bit of advice, being a former Gekkoukan student and all. He also has an uncle that Kasumi would like to meet because he is a well-known author. Hopefully one day that will happen. It is something that she actually looks forward to, despite not knowing if it would actually be possible. Regardless, he seems nice enough.

V - THE HIEROPHANT:

• Shinjiro Aragaki: Their first meeting was a bit odd. He waited for her outside her job after finding out that she had the potential from Himeru. He seemed to be focused on making her understand exactly what she was getting into. However, she possibly surprised him by promising him that she would not get involved as long as she could avoid it. He also shocked her by actually showing her his Persona. It was the first she had ever seen. Their second meeting was just as awkward but she was able to ask him some pressing questions about having a persona. She got some relief from some nagging issues. She still finds him a bit creepy but something changed at their last meeting. She found out that he too was in the TV World and that was an unexpected connection.

VI - THE LOVERS:

VII - THE CHARIOT:

• Aigis: When they first met, Kasumi wasn't really sure what to think about Aigis. However, after numerous meetings they have formed a small bond. Aigis enlightened her about the supernatural and SEES. Kasumi had a suspicion that Aigis was not 'normal' and through her TV Dungeon found out that she appears to be a robot. Surprisingly, she was not really freaked out by it but is definitely intrigued.
  
• Yoh Yamagatani: Kasumi has had numerous meetings with Yoh. He has given her a few gifts: Chocolate for White Day, a purse for her birthday and most recently he won her a Jack Frost Doll from the Crane Game. She likes him as a friend despite being minorly annoyed at his always cheerful attitude, mainly when it comes to the Dark Hour. She expressed concern numerous times to him and others that he would get hurt one day. It seems as if her concerns were true when he disappeared recently. She did not see him for about two weeks but found out that it had something to do with Strega. Right before mid-terms, she ran into him at the Shrine. The relief she felt was impressed upon him in the form of a rather huge hug. While she still doesn't know exactly what happened to him she is just thankful that he is okay. He also helped save her from her own TV dungeon.
  

VIII - JUSTICE:

• Arisa Shiratori: A good friend of Maki's that Kasumi met awhile back. They have only run into each other a couple of times but their last meeting was very informative. She explained Maki et al. to her a bit and helped her understand Mikage-cho more even though Kasumi has never been there before aside from seeing it in Mai's abyss.
• Nanako Dojima: A very sweet little girl that Kasumi has run into a couple times. She doesn't know much about her but she's very adorable and independent for her age.

IX - THE HERMIT:

X - THE WHEEL OF FORTUNE:

• Ran Itoh: The middle Itoh sister! Kasumi adores the Itoh family. She has only seen Ran a couple times but each meeting was very enjoyable. Most recently, Kasumi stopped in the Lucky 7 to see Hinata and ended up being invited to have a snack. Ran makes good sandwiches!

XI - STRENGTH:

• Jason R. Butler: Kasumi met him the night of the Greater Arcana shadow fight and found out that he was a detective, specifically a private investigator. She approached him recently about taking on a new case. Kasumi wants him to look into her family's past.

XII - THE HANGED MAN:

• Baofu: The first time Kasumi ran into him (literally), they had a brief conversation. He was pretty polite although he was kind of weird she thought. The next time they ran into each other was at the Port Island station. Somehow he knew that she visited the Darkside boards. It freaked her out a bit but she did not really have time to talk to him in depth. She finally met him again through a post on the boards and was given official access to the Darkside boards.

XIII - DEATH:

• Seiichi Miyamoto: Ran into him a couple of times. Kasumi thinks it's pretty awesome that he is a musician. Their last meeting he introduced her to his three kittens and they talked briefly about the Dark Hour. Kasumi confessed to him that she didn't think that she was strong enough to be involved in all the supernatural stuff. He pretty much told her that she had no choice.
• The Masked Man: Kasumi only ran into the Masked Man twice. She was intrigued by his appearance. He was the first person ICly to really get under her skin when he spoke about previous incidents involving her friends. Mitsuru later told her how dangerous he was and to stay away from him as much as possible. Unexpectedly, Kasumi ran into him at Junes. She willingly went with him to some kind of room and it led to her being pushed into a TV.
• Minamo Takagawa: Nyamo. Another first year at Gekkoukan. She transferred after the term started. Kasumi has met her a couple of times the last time that they met they talked about the occult and the Persona Game. She thinks that Minamo has been out in Dark Hour from their conversation. Kasumi sent a text message to Himeru out of concern that something would happen to her if she stayed out late and ended up in the Dark Hour again. It is not known if she is awakened or not.

XIV- TEMPERANCE:

• Hitoshi Taniguchi: After a brief encounter at the Strip Mall, Kasumi found she has a couple of things in common with Hitoshi, books and writing. He is much more dedicated to his writing than she will ever be and that is something that she greatly admires. Despite their meetings and him seeing her in her first Dark Hour encounter she still knows very little about him and she hasn't seen him in a long time.

XV - THE DEVIL:

• Itsuka Mizuhara: A second-year Gekkoukan student that Kasumi has run into a couple of times. Itsuka shares her interest in books and writing. She also invited her to join the Literature Club on their first meeting and blatantly asked Kasumi about her involvement in the Dark Hour. With their most recent meeting at the shrine they spoke about everything that had happened since her awakening a little. Kasumi was happy that Itsuka, despite not really knowing her, seemed to care so much. It's a budding friendship (by her standards at least).

XVI - THE TOWER:

• Mai Namikawa: A second-year Gekkoukan student and Kasumi’s closest friend. Mai was the first person to really take Kasumi under her wing as her kohai. While Mai tried to protect Kasumi from ever being awakened, she also was the person who first introduced her to the supernatural. She has been there for the younger girl at every major point since then. The night she played the Persona game, her first Dark Hour encounter and then Mai also helped save her in the TV World. Kasumi recently had the chance to return the favor in the Abyss. Things changed very dramatically after Kasumi found out about her past and that she is actually Mai Namikawa and had been using her deceased sister's identity. Their relationship, oddly enough, has gotten even stronger because of it. Kasumi promised her that no matter what other people think, she will always be there for her.
  
• Thora Kobayashi: A Yasogami student that Kasumi ran into a couple of times. Thora led the investigation team when Kasumi was thrown into the TV. She also led the rescue team to save her from the TV World. Most recently, she helped equip Kasumi with her first weapons ever, two daggers.

XVII - THE STAR:

• Hinata Itoh: Kasumi first ran into this Itoh sister at the Lucky 7. She has since met her a couple other times. She likes her enthusiasm and energy. Hinata is a second-year at Gekkoukan and Hinata loved when Kasumi called her sempai. Their last meeting was a bit unpleasant and Kasumi found out about how Strega had hurt the Itoh family. Because of that meeting she admires Hinata's enthusiasm even more. For someone to be that cheerful despite everything she had been through shows a lot about her character and strength. Kasumi was surprised to see her involved in the TV dungeon rescue but was very happy she was there.
• Teddie: A cute little bear that got hurt in Kasumi's TV Dungeon. :( She met him later in Inaba and apologized!

XVIII - THE MOON:

• Keitaro Nagasaku: So far he is the only other first year Gekkoukan student Kasumi has met. They have met quite a few times socially and Kasumi has formed a pretty good relationship with him. One night she opened up to him by showing him a picture of her family before the tragedy. Their relationship got a better because of this. He doesn't say a whole lot but Kasumi and him seem to share a part of their past that involves deep tragedies. Hitoshi threw a Showa Day party where Kasumi found out that Keitaro was a member of Strega. After talking to numerous people about it and finding out that Keitaro had, in fact, helped rescue Yoh, she believes that he can be changed and is simply confused due to his past. Just about the time that she was giving up all hope on him, he went into the Abyss. After saving him though she is not sure of the status of their relationship anymore.
  

XIX -THE SUN:

XX - JUDGEMENT:

• Kanon Itoh: While Kanon is older than Kasumi she still likes her, especially her tattoos. Kasumi invited her to her birthday celebration even though they had only met one time previously. Kasumi has run into her a few times since and she was there the night Kasumi played the Persona game. She looks up to Kanon and admires her for some reason. She wants to convince her dad to let Kanon give her a Sakura tattoo in memorial of her mother.
  
• Nagisa Renge: Strega member that she first ran into on Shirakawa Blvd. Kanon warned her against talking to Nagisa. However, secretly Kasumi wonders if she is much different than Keitaro. Just because she is a Strega member doesn't necessarily mean she is completely evil right? Whatever the case, Kasumi reserves final judgement. A recent meeting with Nagisa was an interesting one. Despite other things that happened during that meeting Kasumi was a bit intrigued by the girl. Her interest was enough that she sought her out one evening on Shirakawa. They had a long conversation when Kasumi was made aware of more dangers of the world of Persona. Nagisa also was there when they went to rescue Keitaro from the Abyss.
