Kasumi Horie/Notable Social Links

Notable Social Links

Social Links - Fool Through Fortune 0 - THE FOOL: Minako Arisato: A bright, bubbly girl that Kasumi really enjoys being around due to her magnetic personality and generally outgoing nature. She is a member of SEES which is also a plus. 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. V - THE HIEROPHANT: Shinjiro Aragaki: They had an odd first encounter when she found Shinjiro waiting for her outside her job. They spoke and she found out that Mai had told him about her first Dark Hour experience. He seemed to be focused on making her understand exactly what she was getting into. However, she also promised 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 one she had ever seen. Subsequent meetings yielded more information about persona control and training. After inadvertently finding out about aspects of his past and questioning him, Kasumi found that she felt a great amount of compassion for him. She still thinks he's creepy and too serious but she also thinks that she understands more about him now... VI - THE LOVERS: Shinsuke Kusagawa: Itsuka's twin brother and a musician. She hasn't seen him too often but their meetings have been enjoyable at least. VII - THE CHARIOT: Yoh Yamagatani: Kasumi considers Yoh a good friend, probably one of her best friends in fact. He's always cheerful and even though it can grate on her nerves sometimes, especially when he seems happy to fight, most of the time she enjoys his presence. It's because of him and Aigis that she finally decided to join SEES officially. She is concerned to know that he is dating a shadow-possessed though. 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. Katsuya Suou: A detective that Kasumi met during the fight against the Lovers shadow. She later 'hired' Jason and Katsuya to look into her family's past. Even though the answers she received weren't what she expected, Kasumi is grateful for his work and it ultimately helped her to shed some great personal baggage that she had been carrying around for a long time. X - THE WHEEL OF FORTUNE: Ran Itoh: The middle Itoh sister! Kasumi has grown attached to the Itoh family and Ran is no exception. :) Social Links - Strength Through Judgement 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. After months of waiting for a response, Kasumi didn't really get the answers that she was hoping for from the investigation. However, thanks to it, she finally was able to talk to her father about everything. Kasumi is very grateful for the PI. 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. An experienced weaponsmith, Kasumi has asked for her advice on weapon choice a couple of times. 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 was intrigued by the Masked Man's 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. She later found out that Seiichi was the Masked Man and was angry about it for awhile. Things are better now though... Minamo Takagawa: Nyamo. A Gekkoukan student who transferred after the term started when Kasumi was a first-year. They have spoken about the occult and the Persona Game. Later, after Minamo joined SEES, Kasumi found out that she had been saved in the Dark Hour and was already awakened. XV - THE DEVIL: Itsuka Mizuhara: 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 a meeting at the shrine they spoke about everything that had happened since her awakening a little. Kasumi is happy to have met Itsuka and considers her a confidant of sorts, having divulged just about everything about her past and the previous investigation to her. 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. XVII - THE STAR: Teddie: A cute little bear that got hurt in Kasumi's TV Dungeon. :( She met him later in Inaba and apologized!
