Profile
A cold, quiet young woman, Tohya Kidzuki has lived in Sumaru City all her life, and knows her way around almost deceptively well--not that she'll let on that much to everyone. On paper, she's something of a success story; after a turn for the worse in her life back edging into high school, in her third year she turned matters around as one of the first members of SEBEC's KNOWS youth outreach program, and now she's a student in good standing at Sumaru University. In reality, she left that organization after a lengthy decision, and now works as one of the members of the city's 'secret police'--the Shinsengumi, devoted to protecting Sumaru from threats inside and out. What her own dreams are for the future, she's kept concealed, but to a select few she'll share some of her inner thoughts. Even a stranger might hear her talk about what she sees as the way to a 'better world', though--a world that can only be achieved one day at a time.

Notable Social Links
- 0 - The Fool
- Tohru Adachi: A detective working as police liason to the KNOWS program. While originally she was ambivalent, a thieving incident in Inaba caused her to start looking up to him. He seems like an alright person, and she might have to worry about his connections to the NWO at this point.
- I - The Magician
- Yosuke Hanamura: They first met when he was being a super spy disguised as a man named 'Daigan' and snooping around the KNOWS complex. Since then, she's gotten to know him at least a little better. Her opinion varies; their time together in Fort Junes is a mark in his favor, but she doesn't always approve of the things he chooses to do. She tends to call him out when this is the case. Secretly, messing with him is one of her vices.
- IV - The Emperor
- Kyo Enda: Akatsuki's twin brother, dating Miwa.
- Akatsuki Enda: A senior at Gekkoukan High. Kyo's twin. He is definitely the good twin, and despite herself, Tohya actually thinks he's a pretty good guy. A Persona-user, but with a very different resonance, compared to his brother. Tohya has never once mixed them up. They talk often; Tohya considers him to be a close friend, though their relationship is at times complicated. She looks out for him.
- III - The High Priestess
- Yukiko Amagi - A second-year at Yasogami High, and heir to the Amagi Inn. Tohya likes her, and has been inspired by meeting her to pay more attention to the local businesses and people of Inaba.
- VI - The Lovers
- Tohya has no notable Lovers links.
- VIII - Justice
- Arisa Shiratori: A first-year at St. Hermelin High. Tohya has run into her more than once, and almost always with something to do with Kandori or KNOWS. She likes the younger girl, and has tried to adopt a position as a bit of a mentor to her. A Persona-user--and possibly someone with detection abilities like Tohya's.
- XIV - Temperance
- Miwa Saitou: A classmate at Seven Sisters High, Tohya didn't speak with her much before an incident involving a burning tree in the courtyard. She's basically wonderful, but she's entirely too polite, and she's rushing headlong into trouble with Kyo. Tohya isn't sure she'll ever listen as regards her choice of boyfriend, but she's made a promise to protect Miwa anyway. ...To her mild distress, though, it seems that Miwa doesn't like her being so rude all the time. A very close friend, and someone Tohya understands much better than she used to. For the record, she accepts the secrets she's seen.
- Naomi Suzuno: A second-year at Seven Sisters High. Fashionable and thoughtful, Naomi is someone with a great deal beneath her exterior. Tohya has come to know her and really rely on her, and she considers the heiress to be her best friend. Tohya trusts her completely, and there's little she isn't willing to share with her.
- XVI - The Tower
- [[Thora Kobayashi)}}:
- Takahisa Kandori: CEO of SEBEC, and Tohya's boss. At first, she was put off by him, but after getting to know him a little better, she's come to largely trust and actually kind of like him, understanding his insomnia and appreciating his love of cooking. She thinks he's wise, if kind of dangerous. She respects him, however, even understanding that they won't always agree. He's been an important figure to her.
- XVII - The Star
- Hideo Aratami: A first year at Seven Sisters. Gives Tohya a headache whenever he actually shows up to school, and once called her a delinquent to her face. She doesn't really like him. Shadow-possessed.
- XIX - The Sun
- Tatsuya Suou: A fellow senior at Seven Sisters. Her opinion on him has changed quite a bit since they first met. She respects and trusts him, based on what she's seen, and is starting to think she might understand him at least a little. She plans to try to get to know him better, for a few reasons. In any case, he's someone who can be relied on, and someone she shares some interests with when it comes to what to /do/ with the power of Persona. 'No easy way'.
NPCs of Interest
- III - The Empress
- Hitomi Kidzuki: Tohya's mother. Information about her is a secret, except that she used to work at the Sky Museum in the Konan Ward of Sumaru.
- XVIII - The Moon
- Akio Kidzuki: Tohya's father. He works as a salaryman for a large company in Sumaru. A great guy, but he'd lose his head if it weren't attached. More information is a secret.
Persona
Tohya's Persona is Persephone, Iron Queen of the Underworld. The tales say that she was abducted by Hades while out picking flowers, and had to stay for part of every year, even after her mother sought to have her freed, because she'd eaten a few seeds.

Resonance and Other Talents
Persephone's resonance is oppressively silent, and cold. Those especially sensitive to resonance will feel more: It calls to mind a feeling of being trapped deep underground, with no hope of escape. As a consequence, she's very noticeable to those who are skilled enough to detect the resonances of others. However, her strength of resonance goes both ways: Tohya's primary Persona power is detection. As such, she has a finely tuned 'sixth sense', noticing immediately the presence of all but very subtle Persona-users. She experiences this as a distinct 'feeling' of its own, bringing to mind location and a sort of an essential presence, rather than through any of her mundane senses. As a 'spotter', she can sense more than just other Personas, however: Shadows and even regular people are within her power to detect, but even stronger is her sense of direction. With Persephone's abilities, it is almost impossible for Tohya to lose her way, even in the darkest of places.
This means that she senses most Persona-users she meets as a matter of course, and she actually can't turn this power 'off'--though if she's too distracted, or there are too many things to sense at once, she'll miss things. Or people.
Extras
Rumors
There have been a lot of nasty things going around about Tohya for the past few years at Seven Sisters High--though none of them have been consistent enough to be affected by kotodama. (So people would assume, anyway.)
Trivia
- Tohya has been playing games of strategy since before she started school.
- Tohya's name is written with the characters for 'winter night' and 'yellow moon'.
- Tohya has cooked spiced chicken(?) for the people in Fort Junes. Don't ask why there's a question mark. Just don't.
