== Overview ==
+
 
+
Born to a wealthy British-born expatriate and his investor's personal assistant (oooh, scandal!), Naomi Suzuno's life is typical of those who come from a privileged background; legal battles, business propositions, and more than enough family drama as other relatives jockey for control over the myriad of trusts and assets accumulated by the Spencer family over the decades. After a devastating plane crash that left her illustrious father incapacitated, the heiress is thrust in the uncomfortable position of taking care of the family business and all that entails...or at the very least attempt to ensure that it stays where it is until she becomes of age. A former student of St. Hermelin, she transferred to Seven Sisters High School at the wake of her household's move to Sumaru City.
+
 
+
== Personality ==
+
 
+
Naomi is sweet tempered and charitable.  Her generosity, thoughtfulness, and her unique brand of quiet vivacity has won her, at the very least, amicable relations with those she deals with at a regular basis.  She is a warm person, driven by the sincere desire to be the best person she could be, though whether she succeeds in this or not has yet to be determined.  While mostly quiet, it is not coldly so -- in fact, she can carry on conversations easily, and she has an honest fascination with the lives of others. A voracious reader, she is comfortable in being alone with a book as much as she is in the company of others. In public, her manners are impeccable and practically Victorian; her hair is always up and rarely is she discourteous. Her family's money afforded her the best education available and she isn't one to squander it or flinch away from its application to her every day life, having grown to prove herself both intelligent and articulate. An observant creature, coupled with her passionate heart, she steps on the fine line between romanticism and pragmatism.  Nothing delights her more than to be able to take care of those whom she considers very dear to her, and she is typically easy to please.  It takes a lot for her to lose her temper, however while she could be very patient, this has a limit. While she may appear like a delicate milksop, she is surprisingly forthright when expressing her opinion and she has very little patience for the coyness expected from her gender.
+
 
+
While she exudes a soothing presence, she isn't afraid of confrontation, especially if she knows she's right.  However, she isn't hard-handed when doing so and more often than not will seek a diplomatic solution to the problem. She is, for lack of a proper term, a cautious optimist, and while she makes an effort to see the best in other people, she also knows that sometimes, there just isn't any.  It is rare to see her give up on anything she sets her mind to and her more obvious gentility typically masks the bullish tenacity she applies in risks she deems worth taking.
+
 
+
Her life since the plane crash has become one giant juggling act, and finding a balance between being a child and being a woman saddled with heavy responsibilities is a constant struggle. When it gets overwhelming, she becomes quieter than usual -- not because she necessarily likes brooding, but rather she needs to stop and think before moving again to recover that sense of harmony that she feels is essential to her overall well-being. It would not do her any good, after all, to implode due to all of the pressure she places on herself, though there are, of course, some very bad days in which she feels she can't do anything right. There are times in which she becomes resentful - it's not so much that she has a strong sense of justice, but rather that she has a strong sense of fairness. The concept of equity is important to her and being able to take the good and the bad in equal parts. After all, nothing worth having (and, after that, keeping) is easy to get and if there was anything the business world has taught her, anything worthy always comes with a price.

'''''(This is all purely OOC information, unless of course the character has already revealed this to yours. If you would like to know any of this before rping with me, please ask my permission, and we'll work it out. Thanks!)'''''
+
 
+
Like most stories that involve legacies and fortunes, Naomi's beginnings were rife with conflict. Her father, British-born Miles Spencer, was the CEO of Spencer & Strassen -- a business that specialized in luxury entertainment, goods (like art and antiques), and travel; a company that catered almost exclusively to the international elite. Based in London, by the 20th century, S&S expanded its operations worldwide. Asia, with its economic boom during the early 90's, was a prime target for it and it didn't take much to convince the distinguished executive to open a base of operations in Japan. It was there when he met Midori Hisakawa, a middle-class local woman and the personal assistant of one of his more important Japanese investors. Against his family's wishes (and this event would remain, to the rest of the family's eyes, a black spot in its history), he married her and settled in Lunarvale, where his only child, Naomi, was born.
+
 
+
Now the wife of a wealthy businessman, Midori concentrated her efforts in being an attentive wife and mother and took an active interest in her daughter's upbringing. Concerned about her gaijin last name and how her future classmates would react to it, she convinced her husband to register Naomi under her maiden name so she would better fit in with the rest of the children in her class -- since then, school records knew her daughter as Naomi Suzuno while important legal documents bore her full name (Naomi Suzuno Spencer).
+
 
+
She was thrown into an egregiously messy turning point in her young life at the age of 13. Returning from yet another vacation with her parents, an inexplicable engine failure in the family's jet sent the aircraft crashing into the private landing strip reserved for their arrival at the local airport. Given her position on the plane, situated close to her mother and belted into her seat, Naomi would have died if it wasn't for the intervention of a strange manifestation that protected her moments before the impact occurred. While injured, she miraculously survived the accident and the emergency surgery afterward that compelled attending, medical personnel to remove most (but not all) of her ruptured spleen. Her parents weren't so lucky -- her mother was killed instantly and her father's spinal cord was severed. Miles Spencer left the hospital paralyzed from the neck down, able only to move his head and right hand.
+
 
+
Chaos reigned over family matters during Naomi's recovery. Other members of the Spencer family wasted no time trying to assert their rights to the company and control over the family coffers, either through direct legal action or through more indirect ways (like wresting Naomi's guardianship away from her invalid father, being heiress). An investigation was launched upon examination of the plane's remains in which it was discovered that the engines were sabotaged before it left its last stopover, which put the entire household as suspects. Through the canny maneuverings of the family lawyer, Christopher Kent (working through his colleague, Akira Tanaka, who was based in Sumaru City), attempts to seize the family fortunes stopped, and guardianship of Naomi was passed onto her uncle, Henry Spencer, Miles's youngest and favorite brother. However, given Henry's uneagerness to move to Asia, and Naomi's unwillingness to move to London, Henry executed a series of legal documents denoting the family butler, Anthony Robinson, who had served and assisted Miles for a good fifteen years, his official agent to oversee his niece's welfare in the East. The seriousness and complexity of the entire affair had a profoundly sobering effect on Naomi, who realized in spite of her youth that she was going to have to maintain an active hand on responsibilities she knew little to nothing about. She pulled out of school and was tutored at home while she and Robinson saw to her father's condition. She started depending heavily on Messrs. Kent, Tanaka, and Conroy Wright, S&S's deputy CEO and a trusted friend of the family, in handling the Spencers' business and legal affairs.
+
 
+
Naomi decided to return to school in her first year, enrolling at St. Hermelin when she was 15 years of age. Now that the family's seclusion after the disastrous crash seemed over, the media, on top of everything else, came calling -- Miles's accident had reached his prominent business partners in Europe. After a year of struggling against repeated attempts by the paparazzi to get the story, Robinson suggested that the family move from Lunarvale to Sumaru and while reluctant to do so, Naomi agreed. Not only was Sumaru bigger, but the family had holdings there, medical facilities were more accessible, and it would put her in the same geographic location as Tanaka. After finishing her first year at St. Hermelin and beginning her second, she had her father moved to one of their high-class hotels in the area (the current Spencer home is, in actuality, a series of renovated penthouse suites in the Peninsula Sumaru) and transferred to the Seven Sisters High School to continue her schooling there.
+
 
+
== Persona ==
+
 
+
Naomi's persona is the Egyptian Goddess Ma'at, who represents Truth, Balance, Harmony, and Order in the culture's pantheon of gods. She's usually represented by a young woman with a scepter while carrying an Ankh on her other hand. Her role is significant in Duat, the Egyptian underworld, where she weighs dead souls' hearts with an ostrich feather on a pair of scales to determine their worthiness to enter Aaru, the Egyptian heaven. Those that were deemed unworthy had their hearts eaten by Ammut, a part-crocodile demon.
+
 
+
It was said that when Ra started to create the world, he created Ma'at first and installed her in place of her counterpart, Isfet (Chaos), so he would have a stable canvas to work with.

For those who can detect Persona-users, there seems to be an extremely peaceful, serene presence around Naomi. It could be the young woman herself, for she is almost always calm, or it could be something else. The case is most probably quite the latter, for with this aura of placidity comes with a sense of pure order and rightness; that, somehow, everything is right with the world and things are exactly the way they should be. For those who are able to detect Persona-users by scent, this particular ambience smells like mint.

'''Miles Spencer''' - Naomi's father, who left the devastating plane crash paralyzed from the neck down and able only to move his head and one hand. Despite his present state of health, the man seems to have lost very little of his infamous ''joie de vivre'' that he exhibited in the days when he was whole. He is extremely dependent on his daughter and his staff to take care of matters for him. Blessed with an old world charm, his keen mind and business sense are invaluable guides to his heir.
+
 
+
'''Anthony Robinson''' - Called "Robin" by Naomi, he has served as Miles's butler, assistant, and confidant for the last 15 years. Extremely dedicated to his boss, Robinson's loyalty to the Spencer patriarch seems to have been passed down to his only daughter. Given the rather messy enterprise that followed after the plane crash, circumstances have thrust him in the position as Naomi's legal guardian in Japan. He does not like it when people call him "Alfred."
+
 
+
'''Akira Tanaka''' - In tandem with London-based barrister, Christopher Kent, he is one of Naomi's advisors in a multitude of legal and business matters. He works for the Sumaru office of the international law firm Allen & Overy, which is headquartered in the United Kingdom. A relatively young attorney, he recently made partner in its M&A and Corporate division.
+
 
+
'''Conroy Wright''' - Spencer & Strassen's deputy CEO and a trusted friend of the family, he and Miles have known each other for decades since their schoolboy years at the University of Oxford. He maintains control of the company's daily operations at the behest of his old friend.

***A senior in Seven Sisters High School, Tohya counts for one of the first people Naomi met in her first few days as a new transferee. While she fostered a reputation for being intimidating, Naomi managed to somehow get along well with her and addresses her as "Kidzuki-senpai." A bit of a mentor in the ways of the supernatural, Tohya was instrumental in Naomi's continued education regarding her Persona's talents and abilities, having offered herself up to be her "spotter" to ensure that she didn't bite off more than she could chew. In that regard, Naomi accords Tohya with the courtesy and respect that she believes the senior is entitled to. Recently, she explained a few things to Naomi that motivated her to join KNOWS. So far, she is the only one who has seen her residence and had the occasion to meet the most important person in Naomi's life; her father, who promptly invited her to stay for dinner.

***A first year when he should be a senior, most of the circumstances regarding Kai's situation continues to mystify Naomi given he was far from a simpleton. Nevertheless, she is presently tutoring him so that he would be eligible to take an acceleration test so he could skip a year and join his age group. While intimidating due to his sheer breadth and stature, she found him to be surprisingly shy and friendly. Recently, she proposed the idea that the both of them learn sign language to ease communication between them, and while hesitant at first, a single question from her prompts him to change his mind.

***Unbeknown to her, Naomi already met him; as his alter-ego, "Fox," a masked individual who aided her group's efforts in Mikage-cho and who taught her a few bare-handed techniques in exchange of a few fencing lessons. As handsome, college-aged mechanic Ichiya Chigiri, he was recently contracted to see to the upkeep of the Spencer household's vehicles. He seems to have taken a shine to her and has asked her to address him by one of his nicknames. She has recently discovered that Ichiya Chigiri and the mysterious Fox are one and the same, though she has yet to react outwardly to this revelation.

***Despite their first accidental and largely inconsequential meeting, this hardworking Inaba country boy became the first among her newest acquaintances to address her by her first name and is one of the few who she sincerely liked instantly. Their friendship during the Mikage-cho incident developed quickly, and while she sensed a degree of awkwardness from him around her, she wasn't quite certain as to why. She worried about him constantly while she stayed at Fort Junes with him, given his tendency to work his fingers to the bone at the expense of his well-being, and made conscious efforts to ensure that he got the rest he needed at [[Thora Kobayashi|Thora]]'s or [[Yosuke Hanamura|Yosuke]]'s absence. Recent run-ins has her confiding in him as to the circumstances of her awakening and vice-versa, becoming better and closer friends in the process after they parted ways.

***A senior in Seven Sisters High School, Naomi met Miwa the same time she met Tohya. She occupies the first chair cello in the Music Club, and encouraged Naomi to join. They have plenty in common; gentle mannerisms, fondness for classical music and a certain love for fashion among the foremost of these, albeit their similarities were hinted at to run deeper than that. Naomi regards Miwa as one of the most beautiful people she has ever met, in looks and demeanor.

+
****"Innocence of youth is a luxury rarely appreciated by those who still have it."
+
***A chance encounter during Port Island's 25th hour had Naomi running into Himeru in the most unfortunate and surreal of circumstances. Her first, true exposure to the world of Persona-users and the Supernatural, she and this austere, first year Gekkoukan student have run into one another several times since then, and most recently, were trapped in Mikage-cho together. After a few shared meals, conversations, and texts, despite being in opposite sides of the hellish dimension, Naomi and Himeru managed to keep in contact with one another, sharing information and trading a few shards of encouragement along the way. She is one of the few people in her life who shares Naomi's formal and precisely enunciated speech patterns and in that alone, some would say it was almost inevitable that the two of them would strike a friendship...and one built out of the deeper and more concrete foundations of trust.

***<u>Quotes</u>:
+
****"Fear. That is what you can taste in those bowls. A single drop, distilled for each of you from the collective fear of so many broken souls, carried with each of us like an emperor's cloak after battle. Fear. The blue phial contains love. I did not use it, it is so scarce. But one drives the other, as pollen creates the honey, and the crucible needs much more at the starting end than it gives you at the end."
+
****"You have a skill for asking the difficult questions."
+
***Naomi met SEBEC's infamous CEO by chance, coming across him with Himeru cooking breakfast in Mikage-cho's version of St. Hermelin and promptly engaged him in a deeply intellectual conversation about food (as well as the preparation of) standing in as a metaphor for the human condition. While content with the idea that she would never speak to the man again, she was surprised to receive a sword forged by his own hand the next days after thanks to Tohya's request for supplies, and then later in Okina where he imparted on her certain truths about Sumaru City. The growing consistency of his interactions with her may or may not be one of the main reasons why she agreed to join KNOWS.

+
***Fellow Daybreak Squad member and Shirou's girlfriend, she was, for the longest time, the only Persona-user who she has known about through the power of her sheer and infamous reputation. Now that they are in the same group in KNOWS, Naomi has met Thora on several occasions. It is perhaps due to her friendship with Shirou that she unabashedly reaches out to Thora, and finds herself occasionally envying her for having no qualms showing what she is feeling on her expressions.

***Given his infamy and absurd levels of popularity, the first moment she met him, Naomi anticipated that she would never speak to him again after that. Proven wrong after a random encounter on the street, and then later at a surprise visit by the young man at her home (much to the chagrin and paranoia of her butler) intent to speak to her about some very important things, she has recently discovered that their very obvious differences are offset by their more elusive similarities. Tatsuya has exhibited an inordinate ability to consistently surprise her and in turn, she has displayed a certain adeptness in effortlessly cracking through his stoic shell.

* '''[http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a219/deathbylahar/il_fullxfull134504795.jpg Purple Tatted Bracelet]''' - A gift from Miwa Saitou, which has become a staple accessory on her person, no matter what she is wearing at the time; indicative of the importance Miwa holds in Naomi's life.

* '''Himeru's Ribbon''' - A simple length of green ribbon, loosely fashioned in knotwork and looped over Naomi's wrist.
**A new acquisition, Naomi was given the sword during her stay in Mikage-Cho at Tohya's request, when she asked [[Takahisa Kandori]] for supplies before entering the Karma Palace. It is a slim blade designed to be wielded in one hand or two, forged to be brutally functional but has enough personal embellishments situated there by the blacksmith to make the weapon a unique piece. TS Eliot's ''The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock'' has been engraved around the handle (a poem especially familiar to her for reasons yet to be revealed), and Kandori's trademark 'K' signature carved on the hilt.  
+
* '''Tatsuya's Key''' - A simple brass key to Tatsuya's apartment.
**It was given to her with a message: ''Only use it to cut away people's expectations and help them to question,'' in reference to Naomi's first, heavily intellectual conversation with the infamous CEO. It was enough to tell her who it was from, even without Tohya mentioning his name the moment it was given to her.
+
* '''Blue Crystal Earrings''' - A gift from Tatsuya. They look similar to Sheryl Nome's from Macross Frontier.
 +
* '''Rampant Lion Silver Charm''' - Another gift from Tatsuya, which she wears along with the rest of her other charms.
 +
* '''Miwa's Key''' - A simple brass key to Miwa and Tohya's dorm room in the Sumaru University campus.

'''Solo Contacts'''
  
Much like any other teenaged girl (who also acts as the de facto chairman of a major international hotelier), Naomi's phone is her life. It is responsible for her (numerous) e-mails, business/social calendar, and essentially keeps track of Things That Need To Be Done each day.  
+
* '''Five Minute Makeover''' - Naomi truthfully tells the demon what its most compelling physical attribute is and how to emphasize it so it stands out.
 +
* '''Artful Manipulation''' - Naomi utilizes her eerie and calculating insight to be able to convince a demon to do what she asks.
 +
* '''Teasing''' - Naomi teases through the means of her signature, verbal repartee to make the demon pleasantly flustered.
 +
* '''Trivia''' - Naomi tells the demon something it didn't know before but somehow relates to its interests.

 +
|
 +
Born to a wealthy British-born expatriate and his investor's personal assistant (oooh, scandal!), Naomi Suzuno's life is typical of those who come from a privileged background; legal battles, business propositions, and more than enough family drama as other relatives jockey for control over the myriad of trusts and assets accumulated by the Spencer family over the decades. After a devastating plane crash that left her illustrious father incapacitated, the heiress is thrust in the uncomfortable position of taking care of the family business and all that entails...or at the very least attempt to ensure that it stays where it is until she becomes of age. A former student of St. Hermelin, she transferred to Seven Sisters High School at the wake of her household's move to Sumaru City, where her star in multiple social arenas started to soar and cultivating a reputation for troublesomeness (albeit an unorthodox sort) rarely matched by any of her high-class peers. But that on its own does not come without their share of troubles, for some of her clever schemes and successful machinations have earned her the ire of several, powerful people who do not take being made for fools lightly....
  
'''What's in a name?''' - Naomi's Japanese name means "honest beauty of the bells."
+
<center> ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ </center>
  
'''Appearance''' - At 5'4", Naomi is taller than the average Japanese female. She takes after her mother's looks. The only indicators of her mixed descent, really, are her height and the shape and color of her eyes, which are rounder and violet in hue.
+
Skills: She Looks Like A Flower But She Can Sting Like A Bee (Like Every Girl In History), Guarding the Family Coffers, Taking Care of Business, Airplane!, Girl With the Golden Credit Card, La Fashionista, Sugar Momma, She Loves It When A Plan Comes Together, Light Side, Dark Side, Surprise Ruthlessness, Walking Lie Detector, The Web of Truth

'''Wang Long Fortune Telling''' - Naomi is a Moon Dragon, and gets along best with White and Light Dragons.

'''Does She or Doesn't She?''' - Naomi does have a British accent, but this only manifests when she speaks in English. Her Japanese, however, is flawless and formal. She also follows Queen's English (ex. Biscuit = Cookie, Jumper = Sweater, Shedule and not Skedule, Lift = Elevator, paycheque as opposed to paycheck, etc etc).

'''The Residence''' - The current Spencer home is the Peninsula Sumaru, a luxury hotel located in the heart of the city, at its topmost floor. It is in actuality a series of penthouse suites renovated for the use of Naomi's family and her household. At present, the staff comprises of Anthony Robinson, a driver, and two maids. Physicians occasionally come and go to see to Miles's health.

 +
|-
 +
|
 +
Naomi is sweet tempered and charitable. Her generosity, thoughtfulness, and her unique brand of quiet vivacity has won her, at the very least, amicable relations with those she deals with at a regular basis. She is a warm person, driven by the sincere desire to be the best person she could be, though whether she succeeds in this or not has yet to be determined. While mostly quiet, it is not coldly so -- in fact, she can carry on conversations easily, and she has an honest fascination with the lives of others. A voracious reader, she is comfortable in being alone with a book as much as she is in the company of others. In public, her manners are impeccable and practically Victorian; her hair is always up and rarely is she discourteous. Her family's money afforded her the best education available and she isn't one to squander it or flinch away from its application to her every day life, having grown to prove herself both intelligent and articulate. An observant creature, coupled with her passionate heart, she steps on the fine line between romanticism and pragmatism. Nothing delights her more than to be able to take care of those whom she considers very dear to her, and she is typically easy to please. It takes a lot for her to lose her temper, however while she could be very patient, this has a limit. While she may appear like a delicate milksop, she is surprisingly forthright when expressing her opinion and she has very little patience for the coyness expected from her gender.
  
'''Favorite Foods''' - Naomi is guilty of having a sweet tooth, and she likes desserts of all kinds. While her palate is rather refined, some of the simpler items make her list, like teriyaki beef and miso soup.
+
While she exudes a soothing presence, she isn't afraid of confrontation, especially if she knows she's right. However, she isn't hard-handed when doing so and more often than not will seek a diplomatic solution to the problem. She is, for lack of a proper term, a cautious optimist, and while she makes an effort to see the best in other people, she also knows that sometimes, there just isn't any. It is rare to see her give up on anything she sets her mind to and her more obvious gentility typically masks the bullish tenacity she applies in risks she deems worth taking.
  
'''Hobbies''' - The Spencer heiress is a voracious reader, and she regularly exploits her father's connections in the antiquities and rare book industries to acquire first editions. She loves art and literature, and she goes to museums often. She is fascinated with Ancient Egypt and other middle eastern cultures. She fences on occasion, and skydives whenever she can out of the desire to completely overcome the egregious acrophobia she developed after the plane crash. She also plays the piano well.
+
Her life since the plane crash has become one giant juggling act, and finding a balance between being a child and being a woman saddled with heavy responsibilities is a constant struggle. When it gets overwhelming, she becomes quieter than usual -- not because she necessarily likes brooding, but rather she needs to stop and think before moving again to recover that sense of harmony that she feels is essential to her overall well-being. It would not do her any good, after all, to implode due to all of the pressure she places on herself, though there are, of course, some very bad days in which she feels she can't do anything right. There are times in which she becomes resentful - it's not so much that she has a strong sense of justice, but rather that she has a strong sense of fairness. The concept of equity is important to her and being able to take the good and the bad in equal parts. After all, nothing worth having (and, after that, keeping) is easy to get and if there was anything the business world has taught her, anything worthy always comes with a price.
 +
|}
  
'''Movies, Television, or Theatre?''' - All of the above. She's particularly fond of the Action-Adventure genre and romantic comedies (she will, however, be hardpressed to admit the latter and hides her copy of Bridget Jones's Diary under her bed). She watches documentaries often, and likes watching cop dramas, though if asked what her favorite television shows are, it would be Mythbusters and MacGyver. She may or may not secretly harbor desires to build her very own [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hwacha Hwacha]...or at least just figure out how to pass the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Egg_drop_competition Egg Drop test].

 +
<center>'''''"Do not be afraid, child...I am thou, thou art I. I am the Truth, she who sees into the hearts of men....who opens Heaven to the Worthy and brings its destruction to the Damned. I am...Ma'at."'''''</center>
 +
 
 +
 
 +
The Egyptian Goddess Ma'at represents Truth, Balance, Harmony, and Order in the culture's pantheon of gods. She's usually represented by a young woman with a scepter while carrying an Ankh on her other hand. Her role is significant in Duat, the Egyptian underworld, where she weighs dead souls' hearts with an ostrich feather on a pair of scales to determine their worthiness to enter Aaru, the Egyptian heaven. Those that were deemed unworthy had their hearts eaten by Ammut, a part-crocodile demon.
 +
 
 +
It was said that when Ra started to create the world, he created Ma'at first and installed her in place of her counterpart, Isfet (Chaos), so he would have a stable canvas to work with.
 +
 
 +
'''Resonance'''
  
'''Revolutionary Fashion!''' - Clothes and accessories may very well be Naomi's greatest vice and she can be quite the fashionista. No matter the occasion, she dresses to the nines and she tends to have her school uniforms custom-tailored. In public, she is never seen with her hair down.
+
''Sense:'' For those who can detect Persona-users, there seems to be an extremely peaceful, serene presence around Naomi. It could be the young woman herself, for she is almost always calm, or it could be something else. The case is most probably quite the latter, for with this aura of placidity comes with a sense of pure order and rightness; that, somehow, everything is right with the world and things are exactly the way they should be.  
  
== Soundtrack ==
+
''Smell:'' For those who are able to detect Persona-users by scent, this particular ambiance smells like mint.
  
=== Character Playlist ===
+
''Sound:'' Audibly, Naomi's resonance sounds like a gentle breeze playing over windchimes, from far away.

[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3jMAv-nspWA '''Duty'''] - Ayumi Hamasaki - [http://lyricstranslate.com/en/duty-duty.html ''Lyrics'']<br>
+
''Talent:'' Naomi, by nature, is an excellent judge of character - her Persona is, after all, the main judge of the Underworld in Egyptian Mythology in where she specifically weighs a person's heart to judge his or her worthiness to enter Heaven. It's probably not very surprising to those who know her or who have gotten to know her that an innate ability to sense intentions has developed gradually over time. It functions as some kind of social "danger alert" in a way, but it won't specifically tell her what it is she's feeling.
''I saw the end of an era with my own eyes. But I didn't want to know that it's my turn next.''

Equipment
  • Clothes - Quite positively her most versatile pieces of inventory, Naomi doesn't appear to wear the same thing twice, save perhaps her school uniform. She also wears her hair differently each time, but it's always up.
  • Shoes - The same as her clothes, though she prefers boots for the colder months and ballerina flats for the summers. She occasionally wears sneakers.
  • Satchel - A well-kept, leather messenger's bag that's probably worth more than an average teenager's allowance for three months. Contains every day essentials such as her cellphone, a swiss-army knife and a can of mace.
  • Purple Tatted Bracelet - A gift from Miwa Saitou, which has become a staple accessory on her person, no matter what she is wearing at the time; indicative of the importance Miwa holds in Naomi's life.
  • Himeru's Ribbon - A simple length of green ribbon, loosely fashioned in knotwork and looped over Naomi's wrist.
  • Tatsuya's Key - A simple brass key to Tatsuya's apartment.

Contacts

Solo Contacts

  • Five Minute Makeover - Naomi truthfully tells the demon what its most compelling physical attribute is and how to emphasize it so it stands out.
  • Artful Manipulation - Naomi utilizes her eerie and calculating insight to be able to convince a demon to do what she asks.
  • Teasing - Naomi teases through the means of her signature, verbal repartee to make the demon pleasantly flustered.
  • Trivia - Naomi tells the demon something it didn't know before but somehow relates to its interests.

Multi-Contacts

  • Good Cop, Bad Cop - (Naomi + Tohya) Tohya and Naomi team up to deliver the KNOWS version of this classic routine. May lead to an interested or fearful reaction.
  • Fashion Hour! - (Miwa + Naomi) Miwa and Naomi team up to give a demon fashion advice! This may lead to a joyful or angry reaction.
  • Nice Girls Do It Better - (Naomi + Miwa) Naomi and Miwa team up again, this time to seriously sweet-talk the demons. May lead to a joyful or fearful reaction.
Quote
"I've heard it spoken time and again that courtesy is a lady's armor, but I believe it hardly constitutes a full arsenal if a woman has any hope in surviving modern day society."
Profile And Skills

Born to a wealthy British-born expatriate and his investor's personal assistant (oooh, scandal!), Naomi Suzuno's life is typical of those who come from a privileged background; legal battles, business propositions, and more than enough family drama as other relatives jockey for control over the myriad of trusts and assets accumulated by the Spencer family over the decades. After a devastating plane crash that left her illustrious father incapacitated, the heiress is thrust in the uncomfortable position of taking care of the family business and all that entails...or at the very least attempt to ensure that it stays where it is until she becomes of age. A former student of St. Hermelin, she transferred to Seven Sisters High School at the wake of her household's move to Sumaru City, where her star in multiple social arenas started to soar and cultivating a reputation for troublesomeness (albeit an unorthodox sort) rarely matched by any of her high-class peers. But that on its own does not come without their share of troubles, for some of her clever schemes and successful machinations have earned her the ire of several, powerful people who do not take being made for fools lightly....

History



The Present

Since then she has had a variety of misadventures with her fellow Sevens students as well as individuals from other schools. Later on, for reasons known only to very few, she joined SEBEC's KNOWS program and was placed directly under her best friend Tohya Kidzuki's command in the Daybreak Squad. A few months later, both she and Tohya left KNOWS, with the state of their current relationships to former boss Takahisa Kandori unknown, but presumed hostile.

The Spencer heiress has since moved on to become the second-in-command of the fledgling group Shinsengumi, established by close friend Tatsuya Suou; a group of Persona users with a burgeoning network of contacts within and without Sumaru City. In her third year, she was elected Student Council President of Seven Sisters High School.

In June 2010, Naomi and a good friend, Shinjiro Aragaki, were kidnapped by a cadre of Russian mercenaries who have been experimenting on Persona-users since the days of the Cold War. Using Dream Technology that they developed, they used their methods in an effort to mine the secrets of Persona-users' "side-abilities." A joint operation between members of SEES and Shinsengumi managed to destroy the remains of the technology and retrieve them. The ordeal continues to have lasting effects on the Spencer heiress, albeit not in terms of psychological trauma. In fact, it has only made her dangerously determined to protect her community from like-minded persons who would stop at nothing to expose and destroy it. In concert with Mitsuru Kirijo, a childhood friend and similarly positioned within the circles of the international business elite, the two ojous have taken steps since then to implement a years-spanning prevention and preemption plan, codenamed the Dante Initiative (comprised of three stages named after Dante Alighieri's The Divine Comedy: Paradiso, Purgatorio, and Inferno, the last of which contemplates the worst case scenario).

Personality

Naomi is sweet tempered and charitable. Her generosity, thoughtfulness, and her unique brand of quiet vivacity has won her, at the very least, amicable relations with those she deals with at a regular basis. She is a warm person, driven by the sincere desire to be the best person she could be, though whether she succeeds in this or not has yet to be determined. While mostly quiet, it is not coldly so -- in fact, she can carry on conversations easily, and she has an honest fascination with the lives of others. A voracious reader, she is comfortable in being alone with a book as much as she is in the company of others. In public, her manners are impeccable and practically Victorian; her hair is always up and rarely is she discourteous. Her family's money afforded her the best education available and she isn't one to squander it or flinch away from its application to her every day life, having grown to prove herself both intelligent and articulate. An observant creature, coupled with her passionate heart, she steps on the fine line between romanticism and pragmatism. Nothing delights her more than to be able to take care of those whom she considers very dear to her, and she is typically easy to please. It takes a lot for her to lose her temper, however while she could be very patient, this has a limit. While she may appear like a delicate milksop, she is surprisingly forthright when expressing her opinion and she has very little patience for the coyness expected from her gender.

While she exudes a soothing presence, she isn't afraid of confrontation, especially if she knows she's right. However, she isn't hard-handed when doing so and more often than not will seek a diplomatic solution to the problem. She is, for lack of a proper term, a cautious optimist, and while she makes an effort to see the best in other people, she also knows that sometimes, there just isn't any. It is rare to see her give up on anything she sets her mind to and her more obvious gentility typically masks the bullish tenacity she applies in risks she deems worth taking.

Her life since the plane crash has become one giant juggling act, and finding a balance between being a child and being a woman saddled with heavy responsibilities is a constant struggle. When it gets overwhelming, she becomes quieter than usual -- not because she necessarily likes brooding, but rather she needs to stop and think before moving again to recover that sense of harmony that she feels is essential to her overall well-being. It would not do her any good, after all, to implode due to all of the pressure she places on herself, though there are, of course, some very bad days in which she feels she can't do anything right. There are times in which she becomes resentful - it's not so much that she has a strong sense of justice, but rather that she has a strong sense of fairness. The concept of equity is important to her and being able to take the good and the bad in equal parts. After all, nothing worth having (and, after that, keeping) is easy to get and if there was anything the business world has taught her, anything worthy always comes with a price.

Persona
"Do not be afraid, child...I am thou, thou art I. I am the Truth, she who sees into the hearts of men....who opens Heaven to the Worthy and brings its destruction to the Damned. I am...Ma'at."


The Egyptian Goddess Ma'at represents Truth, Balance, Harmony, and Order in the culture's pantheon of gods. She's usually represented by a young woman with a scepter while carrying an Ankh on her other hand. Her role is significant in Duat, the Egyptian underworld, where she weighs dead souls' hearts with an ostrich feather on a pair of scales to determine their worthiness to enter Aaru, the Egyptian heaven. Those that were deemed unworthy had their hearts eaten by Ammut, a part-crocodile demon.

It was said that when Ra started to create the world, he created Ma'at first and installed her in place of her counterpart, Isfet (Chaos), so he would have a stable canvas to work with.

Resonance

Sense: For those who can detect Persona-users, there seems to be an extremely peaceful, serene presence around Naomi. It could be the young woman herself, for she is almost always calm, or it could be something else. The case is most probably quite the latter, for with this aura of placidity comes with a sense of pure order and rightness; that, somehow, everything is right with the world and things are exactly the way they should be.

Smell: For those who are able to detect Persona-users by scent, this particular ambiance smells like mint.

Sound: Audibly, Naomi's resonance sounds like a gentle breeze playing over windchimes, from far away.

Talent: Naomi, by nature, is an excellent judge of character - her Persona is, after all, the main judge of the Underworld in Egyptian Mythology in where she specifically weighs a person's heart to judge his or her worthiness to enter Heaven. It's probably not very surprising to those who know her or who have gotten to know her that an innate ability to sense intentions has developed gradually over time. It functions as some kind of social "danger alert" in a way, but it won't specifically tell her what it is she's feeling.
