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.

A facet of '''Ohrmazd''', one of its six "divine sparks," an 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 their duties. Vahman is the polar opposite of '''[[Daisuke Itami|<span style="color:white;">Akoman</span>]]''', a corrupter and perverter 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.

She would do anything for her little sister. She's also a little jealous and feels that her sister is the pretty one of the Ishibashi family.  Noriko remains completely unaware of what happened to her sister at the hands of [[Akira Ookuma|someone]], the fact that it unleashed her Persona, and--most importantly--Keitaro was the one behind it all. But if she finds out there won't be a soul on the face of the Earth that can save Keitaro from the wrath of <s>khan</s> Noriko Ishibashi.

He's everything that is completely ''opposite'' of her. He was the reason her family was so devastated after their father's death. He was the reason (unknown to her) she lost her prestige and was demoted in Sumaru as an officer. He was the reason her father never paid attention to her. He was the reason she was a miserable child. ...and because of that he is truly one of the people in this world she utterly despises with every fiber of her being. He is ''also'' the reason she remains a detective; one day she knows she'll find him again, and when that happens she's sure he'll be doing something bad--and that's the day she'll gleefully throw cuffs on him and let Justice devour him. It is also worth noting she does not know his current whereabouts or name--but she is determined to ''find'' out.

She was nosy, wanting to ask questions about his past and learn anything and ''everything'' she could about him. While she was ultimately humored by Noriko (to her chagrin), it left Noriko with a feeling of uneasiness and general unpleasantness from her encounter Nagisa. Fortunately Nagisa made amends, and then went off and died, leaving Noriko feeling pretty awkward in the process. Oops. :(

"Liars, cheaters, manipulators, hypocrites; they're the worst sorts of people. Maybe that's why I can't stand them?"
Profile And Skills


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.

History





Notable Logs
  • The First Day Is Always The Most Awkward: The “new girl in town,” Noriko Ishibashi officially begins her first day with Inaba PD. It is full of friendly meetings in an otherwise dead-end town, career-wise. Oh, the humanity!
  • Lotus at the Riverside: On an evening just like any other, Noriko is out and about, enjoying the last leg of Spring. However, on this particular evening, she meets a strange young lady named Nagisa Renge, a girl whose questions seem endless—and completely honest. She also has a terrible teacher
  • Silence Speaks Loudly: Having received a odd letter from a very unwanted admirerer, Noriko heads out to find the one person in the world who could give her the answers: the daughter of one Shinichi Onishi. However, getting answers, if any, is no easy task, and certainly leaves a bitter sting for the yakuza princess.
  • Ghost of the Past: To say that Noriko would ever imagine seeing Nagisa again would be a lie; as far as the detective was aware, her encounter was simply a passing one. Nagisa's infatuation with Daisuke Itami assures that such is not and will not be the case; once again, their paths cross… likely to the dismay of Noriko Ishibashi.
  • Touchy Subjects: Katsuya asks Noriko about her family, and touches a nerve. (Log Posted by Katsuya Suou)
  • A Most Unroutine Day: As advertised. (Log Posted by Katsuya Suou)
Persona and Resonance
Vahman.png
"I am thou... thou art I. I am Vahman, the cause of good intent..."


A facet of Ohrmazd, one of its six "divine sparks," an 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 their duties. Vahman is the polar opposite of Akoman, a corrupter and perverter 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.

    • Katsuya Suou - A fellow officer in Inaba, Noriko's first impression of the guy was he was too damn nosey for his own good, what with his prying into her personal life--particularly her brother. Still, she grew to have some shred of patience and learned he's a pretty good man who also hails from Sumaru. She believes that, while he might be "just investigating" Rui, there's more to it--because she witnessed one of his greatest embarassments thanks to Rui. She is somewhat leery of him, mostly because he seems to ask a lot of personal questions. What the hell is this Persona nonsense??

  • XII - THE HANGED MAN
    • Rui Onishi - The mute Yakuza princess was an interesting encounter for Noriko; her reactions upon Noriko tearing up her father's creepy "love letter" to her resulted in violence from Rui, leaving the detective confused. While a bit wary, she has no real reason to like or dislike the woman. Yet, anyway...
  • XIII - DEATH
    • None
  • XVI - TEMPERANCE
    • Akiha Ishibashi - Noriko's little sister, the youngest of the three Ishibashi siblings, she is incredibly over-protective of her, and secretly admires her ability to essentially forgive her brother for the mess he created with his awful existence. She would do anything for her little sister. She's also a little jealous and feels that her sister is the pretty one of the Ishibashi family. Noriko remains completely unaware of what happened to her sister at the hands of someone, the fact that it unleashed her Persona, and--most importantly--Keitaro was the one behind it all. But if she finds out there won't be a soul on the face of the Earth that can save Keitaro from the wrath of khan Noriko Ishibashi.
  • XV - THE DEVIL
    • Keitaro Ishibashi - Her brother, he is the one person in the world that draws considerable amounts of ire from Noriko. He's everything that is completely opposite of her. He was the reason her family was so devastated after their father's death. He was the reason (unknown to her) she lost her prestige and was demoted in Sumaru as an officer. He was the reason her father never paid attention to her. He was the reason she was a miserable child. ...and because of that he is truly one of the people in this world she utterly despises with every fiber of her being. He is also the reason she remains a detective; one day she knows she'll find him again, and when that happens she's sure he'll be doing something bad--and that's the day she'll gleefully throw cuffs on him. It is also worth noting she does not know his current whereabouts or name--but she is determined to find out.

    • Nagisa Renge - A subsequent encounter with Nagisa--at the Inaba PD, no less--resulted in the revelation that she knows Noriko's brother...and seems to have some weird, complicated like/dislike relationship with him. She was nosy, wanting to ask questions about his past and learn anything and everything she could about him. While she was ultimately humored by Noriko (to her chagrin), it left Noriko with a feeling of uneasiness and general unpleasantness from her encounter Nagisa. Fortunately Nagisa made amends, and then went off and died, leaving Noriko feeling pretty awkward in the process. Oops. :(
