He's been acting a little strangely lately, though, and Tatsuya's concerned about him. The care appears to be mutual, at least, given the lecture Seiichi gave Tatsuya after the CEO's fight with Kandori. Seiichi's title is Count Libra, and his color is black. |
**[[Shirou Sekigawa]]: Thora Kobayashi's boyfriend. Tatsuya stepped in to draw his attention away from Kandori when the CEO and Thora were engaged in a fight at Club Zodiac the evening he was released from Okina Prison. During the fight, Tatsuya gave Shirou a "warning shot" -- a slash across the face that the teen retains as a scar. Naturally, Shirou wants to kill Tatsuya now ''in addition'' to his stated goal of killing Kandori. This will not end well. | **[[Shirou Sekigawa]]: Thora Kobayashi's boyfriend.

**[[Riki Houjou]]: Scientist associate of [[Yosuke Hanamura]] and [[Fumiko Kohaku]]'s boyfriend. Tatsuya grudgingly respects the boy after witnessing his performances consorting with demons in the Inaba Mines and keeping up with him at the Tanabata festival on behalf of Fumiko. He seems to have a good head on his shoulders, even if he has questionable taste in friends. | **[[Riki Houjou]]: Scientist associate of [[Yosuke Hanamura]] and [[Fumiko Kohaku]]'s boyfriend.

− | **[[Naomi Suzuno]]: At their first actual meeting at Okina Prison, Tatsuya surprised and disconcerted Naomi by casually referencing "The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock", a poem she knows well -- and found engraved into a blade she received from [[Takahisa Kandori]] while in KNOWS. Tatsuya finds himself both impressed with and intensely irritated by the Spencer heiress; while he likes and respects her for her talents and accomplishments, her association with [[Tatsuya Suou]] frustrates him and her defection from the NWO grates at him when he allows it to. He has recently discovered that she clashed with [[Anna Yoshizaka]], the outcome of which has left him legitimately ''angry'' with her. | + | **[[Naomi Suzuno]]: At their first actual meeting at Okina Prison, Tatsuya surprised and disconcerted Naomi by casually referencing "The Love Song of J.

− | **[[Dona Kimura]]: Dona's alter ego Daiya Kagami caught Tatsuya's notice when she replaced an NWO-allied doctor for the purpose of trolling [[Arisa Shiratori]]. Thanks to his prophetic dreams, Tatsuya knew to send her the MA-347 amulet she would need to come with him when he traumaported her away from being interrogated (in her disguise) by [[Akatsuki Enda]], as well as when and where he would need to enter her borrowed office just in the nick of time to achieve this rather impressive feat. | + | **[[Dona Kimura]]: Dona's alter ego Daiya Kagami caught Tatsuya's notice when she replaced an NWO-allied doctor for the purpose of trolling [[Arisa Shiratori]].

− | **[[Anna Yoshizaka]]: The former Sevens track star has intrigued Tatsuya ever since they first met, and he has quickly come to admire her spirit as much as he relies on her cutting honesty, cold efficiency, and soothing psychic presence. While he ''does'' enable her self-destructive habits, Tatsuya is of the belief that his influence keeps her from harming herself further. | + | **[[Anna Yoshizaka]]: The former Sevens track star has intrigued Tatsuya ever since they first met, and he has quickly come to admire her spirit as much as he relies on her cutting honesty, cold efficiency, and soothing psychic presence. While he ''does'' enable her self-destructive habits, Tatsuya is of the belief that his influence keeps her from harming herself further. Thanks to recent events, Tatsuya has fallen deeply, achingly, obsessively in love with her; he's told her so, and even gotten into a fight with [[Takahisa Kandori]] over her. Whether or not the relationship can survive the many obstacles before it (not least of which being how broken they both are) remains to be seen, but if it does, it may well be good for both of them. Anna's Masquerade title is Lady Scorpio, and her color is blue. |
− | **[[Takahisa Kandori]]: Tatsuya regards the CEO of SEBEC as something of a surrogate father, and as such is fiercely loyal to him -- not that they don't have disagreements now and again, of course. Now that Kandori is free (as a direct result of Tatsuya's efforts), he hopes things will return to normal with a modicum of disruptive violence and bloodstains on the carpets. Following the resignation of the interim CEO, Kandori's back in his rightful post. | + | **[[Takahisa Kandori]]: Tatsuya regards the CEO of SEBEC as something of a surrogate father, and as such is fiercely loyal to him -- not that they don't have disagreements now and again, of course. Now that Kandori is free (as a direct result of Tatsuya's efforts), he hopes things will return to normal with a modicum of disruptive violence and bloodstains on the carpets. Following the resignation of the interim CEO, Kandori's back in his rightful post. He's also recovering from a fight he and Tatsuya had over the piece of Anna's soul Kandori "borrowed" after the fight with the demon plaguing [[Thora Kobayashi]]'s dreams. They'll be fine now that Tatsuya's worked it out of his system, at least. |
**[[Thora Kobayashi]]: The daughter of SEBEC's head geneticist, Thora was in KNOWS during its run. Her fiercely canine Resonance rubs Tatsuya the wrong way; her comatose brother and brilliant father are much less offensive to his senses. Tatsuya and Keldan are even friends. Still, Tatsuya agreed to mind Thora once he and Kandori orchestrated her abduction from Club Zodiac in the attempt to heal her suicide disease, and the sight of another animal-like human in a cage awoke a kind of kindred feeling in him. He still finds her Resonance grating but, after spending time with her, is actually able to interact with her without it driving him up the wall. Tatsuya was also instrumental in the banishment of the demon haunting Thora's dreams. | **[[Thora Kobayashi]]: The daughter of SEBEC's head geneticist, Thora was in KNOWS during its run.

− | **[[Fumiko Kohaku]]: Kandori's "niece" and Tatsuya's "little sister", Fumiko is a SEBEC experiment and regards the Masquerade as her family. The little loli is utterly devoted to her uncle and big brother in particular, and would die for them without hesitation. Her simplistic worldview clashes occasionally with the harsh realities of the lives of her elders, but in general she's a happy and cheerful young lady. Tatsuya may promote her soon... | + | **[[Fumiko Kohaku]]: Kandori's "niece" and Tatsuya's "little sister", Fumiko is a SEBEC experiment and regards the Masquerade as her family.

Her simplistic worldview clashes occasionally with the harsh realities of the lives of her elders (especially lately, oops), but in general she's a happy and cheerful young lady. Tatsuya may promote her soon...he just needs to test her first. |
**[[Akari Hoshi]]: Speaking of minions, Akari likewise views Tatsuya as a big brother; the Masquerade CEO gave her a way to indulge her dreams and fantasies by becoming Magical Warrior Maiden Ixquic, and (more practically) taught her about Persona and the basics of demonology. He set the demon Belphegor to watch over her as well, unsure that she should be left to her own devices. Tatsuya likes the attention, even if it's a little clingy. | **[[Akari Hoshi]]: Speaking of minions, Akari likewise views Tatsuya as a big brother; the Masquerade CEO gave her a way to indulge her dreams and fantasies by becoming Magical Warrior Maiden Ixquic, and (more practically) taught her about Persona and the basics of demonology.

+ | **[[Toui Shirazuna]]: Tatsuya finds the good doctor intensely creepy. They've only met once, and Tatsuya is reserving judgment for now...too many conflicting factors involved. Fumiko likes him, though. Hmm. | ||

− | **[[Michio Magaride]]: The Sevens student proved to be indispensable at the Masquerade's raid on Okina Prison, and as such Tatsuya invited him to join the ranks as an executive. The CEO appreciates Michio's calm ability to handle delicate situations as well as his absolute willingness to "clean up the filth", as it were. He is also apparently allergic to cats.

Michio's Masquerade title is Baron Pisces; his color is indigo blue. |
**[[Nagisa Renge]]: Tatsuya met Nagisa through Seiichi, who retains ties to Strega. Concerned for his friend and aware that his boss might know of a way to help her, Seiichi arranged for them to meet. The waif, so like a little stray kitten, has touched the lion's heart. Now that it's clear that Nagisa will die unless a new solution is discovered, Tatsuya has taken on the task of discovering that solution. Neither of them realise just yet that they have met before, under very different circumstances, during a raid Strega conducted on a certain sanitarium... | **[[Nagisa Renge]]: Tatsuya met Nagisa through Seiichi, who retains ties to Strega.
