Once, Noriko Ishibashi was a very promising detective with Sumaru City's police force. It seemed that there was only way for her to go, and that was up. Then one nasty rumor and subsequent bribery scandal later, Noriko found herself disgraced and stripped of her hard-earned prestige, dumped and "demoted" to Okutama as a detective on its police force before another transfer landed her in Inaba. Still, for all she has been forced through and the seeming bleakness of her career, Noriko has not let it defeat her; a strong and incredibly forthright woman, she is not so easily broken by hardship. She works hard, remains determined and strong-willed, an adamant believer in "truth" and "justice." But her hard work has an ulterior motive, one that ties back to the sole heir of the Ishibashi, the estranged brother that single-handedly destroyed a legacy.

"I am thou... thou art I. I am Vahman, the cause of good intent..."
A facet of Ohrmazd, one of its six "divine sparks," a Amesha Spenta of Zoroastrian myth, Vahman is a cause of good intent. It is considered of "Good Purpose" or "Good Mind", which refers to Vahman's duty of aiding in the good and moral state of mind that enables mortals to persevere and accomplish his duties. Vahman is the polar opposite of Akoman, a corrupter of mankind's thoughts. As a reflection of Noriko, Vahman represents her determination and steadfast belief in being true and honest, giving her the strength to push forward, despite all that happens to her.
SENSE: The feeling of Noriko's resonance is very unnerving, in that it feels like being at the front of a courtroom in the witness stand, that awful feeling that every move is being scrutinized, that one misstep could end up in a complete disaster. It's subtle but strong and powerful, like the calm before a storm. Yet, there's a certain innocence about it--it's a pure feeling, like the eyes of a higher power giving its patient observation, biding its time before passing its judgment.
SMELL: Like the scent of roasted chestnuts and the faintest hint of Oriental lily.
SOUND: A dull murmur, almost soothing, like white noise at 4 am. It's there, it can be kind of obnoxious, but there is a certain calm and relaxing feel to it.

| Trivia
|
- The kanji of in the writing of Noriko's name (法子) means "law child."
- The scent of Noriko's resonance has meaning: in the language of flowers, chestnut means "do me justice," while red lily means "high-souled aspirations."
