Trivia!

Yanagi has five siblings - from oldest to youngest, Takeo (employed), Sayuri (in college in France), Kazuo (employed), Tessai (employed), Yuki (just graduated high school), and Yanagi. She prefers sketching over painting, and enjoys drawing people, because still life drawings bore her. She has a small interest in fashion, though she'd be hard-pressed to admit it. She's used to people talking over her. Her dorm room has African violets in it; it really brightens up the place. Her Guardian Dragon is the Crimson Dragon. What?

Profile

Yanagi Chikafuji, a second-year at Gekkoukan High, isn't regularly a name on anyone's mind. She's best described as quiet, distant, or shy by those who are acquainted with her, and no one would actually claim to know her well. Still, she's a good listener if someone needs a shoulder to lean on, she's reportedly a math whiz, and she's made a splash in the Art Club as a watercolor prodigy, despite her protests to the contrary. Her life was saved during the Dark Hour by SEES, who have started to teach her about her Persona, whose abilities seem to lie largely in support rather than frontline fighting. Yanagi spends a lot of time comparing herself to others and finding herself wanting - for talent, popularity, you name it - she's convinced she's never as good as someone else. However, a deep-seated desire to protect others and the fact that she's starting to finally make friends may help her overcome this obstacle in her path.

Persona and Resonance

Persona: Cassandra Cassandra, also known as Alexandra, was the daughter of King Priam and Queen Hecuba of Troy. Her beauty caused Apollo to grant her the gift of prophecy (or it was snakes licking her ears clean, depending on who you believe), but when she did not return Apollo's love, he placed her under a curse so that no one would ever believe her prophecies. This eventually drove her mad, as she witnessed tragedy after tragedy but was unable to warn anyone - notably the Trojan Horse, the fall of Troy, and her own demise at the hands of Clytemnestra. Resonance Yanagi's resonance is subtle, but there. The most noticeable aspect is the complete absence of sound: there is no sound associated with her resonance at all; there is, in fact, a distinct and palpable lack of sound, like a still-frozen pond on a winter's day, when the wind has absolutely stopped and no one is crunching through the snow. The coppery tang and scent of blood. A sensation of a snake's scales brushing lightly against one's neck, cheeks, and ears. A fleeting, recurring feeling of certainty of knowledge, and of frustration.

Social Links

III: The Empress Yukino Mayuzumi - Yukino also helped fight off the Teddie-headed Vanishing Machine, complimenting Yanagi on her skillful use of perception and, apparently, prophecy. Yanagi is flattered! IV: The Emperor Akihiko Sanada - Met him when he visited the dorm. Seems like a cool senpai, lots of advice to give. Pretty laid-back. VI: The Lovers Takakazu Agano - Met at Paulownia Mall while she was sketching him. Fellow artist, critiqued her work (positively!) and hit on her (lightly!). Slipped her a card, though she totally already knew his name - now she has his number. VII: The Chariot Yoh Yamagatani - Hanging around in the dorm lobby. Has drawn him once. Seems like a really cool guy, although he needs to take better care of himself if he's banged up like that. IX: The Hermit Kotone Nakamura - Met her while out shopping for a plant for her dorm. Extremely shy around people for some reason! Still, also very nice. Walked her home. XI: Strength Michi Aomori - More Vanishing Machine fightans! Michi did a lot of damage, and has fairly well impressed Yanagi with her combat prowess. She was notably the first person to ever take advantage of Yanagi's spotting advice, and thus is special. XV: The Devil Itsuka Mizuhara - Mizuhara-senpai is a cool chick who owns her own motorcycle and reads the same kind of manga as Yanagi. They dished about family for a little bit after nearly running into each other (literally) at the Iwatodai Station strip mall. Lives in the same dorm, has a standing invitation to come over and see Yanagi's art sometime. XVI: The Tower Mai Namikawa - Mai took several large hits for her during the fight against the Teddie-headed Vanishing Machine outside Shirogane Manor, even though Yanagi had never even seen her before! You don't just forget something like that. XX: Judgement Nagisa Renge - Met her while out shopping for a plant for her dorm. Talkative. Noted her as a Persona-user. She's kinda weird, what with her job as an information broker and cheerful like for a guy who seems like kind of a creeper, but pretty nice, overall. Met up with Nagisa again outside Shirogane Manor during the Weird Teddie Balloon Thing.
