Note
For the Luisa s/o thing can you do one for Tenko,Kirumi,Makoto,Hajime,Nagito?
I sure can
Tenko, Kirumi, Makoto, Hajime and Nagito with an S/O who’s like Luisa Madrigal (Encanto)
Tenko Chabashira
Tumblr media
Aghh she finds your muscles so attractive
You’ll often catch her staring at your arms with hearts in her eyes
She loves running her hand up and down your arm while you’re cuddling
She especially loves watching you while you’re moving donkeys and the church around
Her excitement can make it hard to concentrate, but it’s nice to have that kind of encouragement
Although she does get worried when she sees you doing it all the time
She doesn’t miss the exhaustion on your face while you’re helping with the donkeys
Plus, she gets really sad when you have to bail on dates to help someone
So she asks you what’s going on, and you insist that you’re fine
But she’s not falling for that
You look like you’re gonna break at any moment
So she’ll ask the donkey owners to lay off of you, and she knows your grandmother can be overbearing, so she’ll talk to her as well
She admires your kindness a lot, but you gotta give yourself a break
Your muscles are still hot tho
Anyway, Tenko strongly loves and admires you
You’re legitimately the sweetest person she’s ever met, and she hates seeing you so stressed
Kirumi Tojo
Tumblr media
She also admires your kindness
You always go out of your way to help people, even for something as silly as donkeys
She does worry about how it affects you though
You seem so exhausted and stressed after doing so many tasks for the townspeople
She doesn’t mind when you have to leave dates to help someone, but she does worry about how often it happens
She’ll have a quick word with the donkey owners and ask them to give you a break
She’ll even confront your grandmother for you if you want
Then she’ll make you some tea and help you relax
Anything to help take your mind off things
Again, she’s super understanding when you suddenly have to bail out on a date
She just wants to make sure you’re okay
Makoto Naegi
Tumblr media
He can’t help but be flustered around you
You’re super pretty and your muscles are glorious
Please pick him up bridal style; he’s dying, but he loves it
He also loves how kind and sweet you are
You help everyone around you with anything they ask; it’s literally your talent
But he’s really worried about the stress you’re under
It makes him sad when you suddenly ditch a date to help someone, but he can understand why
He just feels really bad for you
He’ll talk to the donkey owners, and invite you to his dorm to hang out
You’ll play games together, read a manga or just lay down and cuddle
If you have any pent up emotions to let out, he’s right there for you
If your grandmother is still putting pressure on you, he’ll have a word with her too
He just wants you to take a break before you, y’know, break
And to spend more time with him, he misses you 🥺
Hajime Hinata
Tumblr media
He finds your muscular figure impressive
Like damn, what is your secret?
And he admires your kindness as well
Just being around you makes him smile
Although, all the tasks you’re doing every day concerns him
It looks like too much for you, even if you insist otherwise
Plus, having you run off from a date to help someone else is a little irritating, even if he understands why
So he’s gonna have a word with the donkey owners as soon as he can
He’ll even talk to your grandmother, if he has to
He’s polite, but firm
You deserve to have a break from all the tasks and the pressure
He worries about you a lot
He knows you can handle yourself, but still
Anyway, he loves you and your kindness
But please, take a break
Nagito Komaeda
Tumblr media
Omg he is so enamored by you
You’re just so hopeful
He loves everything about you; your kindness, your strength, your sweetness
He’ll be flustered when you pick him up, but he loves it
He’s pretty quick to notice that you’re not yourself
He sees how stressed you are when you’re helping with the donkeys or the church
It makes him a little sad when you suddenly have to bail out on a date, but he’s more worried about you
He’ll talk to the donkey owners, and your grandma, if necessary
Anything to help relieve the pressure and give you the break you deserve
And to finally get some quality time with you
Anyway, he is in deep, deep love with you
He watches you with stars in his eyes, and practically worships the ground you walk on
But please take a break he worries so much-

Different Friend Types HC's Pt. 1
I wanted to do some platonic friendship hc's so I picked characters that fit certain types of friends. ^-^
💚 The Doting Parent – Makoto Tachibana (Free!)
Makoto is totally the type to fuss and care for you much like a doting parent regardless of how competent you are. He’s always looking out for you and wants to make sure you’re doing well.
If you’re not very good at taking care of yourself, Makoto will step in and help. He already has some experience with his own siblings and Haruka after all, what's one more? He’ll make sure you’re on time for whatever you have to do, he’ll kindly fuss and try to get you to go outside if you don’t get out enough, make sure you're not skipping meals, drinking enough liquids, keep you on task and help you with anything you need to get done. If you’re feeling down or upset about anything, he’s right there with a kind smile and asking what you need from him.
Makoto gets embarrassed if you try to take care of him and if he's unable to take care of himself for whatever reason, he'll constantly apologize for it because he doesn't want to inconvenience you. But when he's able, he'll definitely either get you a thank you gift or return that care two fold. It's not often anybody takes care of him so he appreciates it greatly and will let you know that.
If you're the type to become a dual parent friend with Makoto, you two are gonna be quite the pair. Sometimes you'll both become almost overwhelmed with how much you two take on to help your friends, but you two will always be in sync catching wherever the other falls short. It's a lot of work for sure but you guys easily become an essential core to your friend group and really make it feel like a family. Outside of your friend group though, you and Makoto definitely at least take one day every week to do a spa day or have a chill lazy hangout day together to refresh yourselves.
"Hey, how've you been? Are you eating and drinking enough? How's your sleep? Ah don't call me mom, I just want to make sure you're ok, you know...?"
☀️ Your #1 Fan – Mirio Togata (BNHA)
Mirio is the best cheerleader you’ll ever have in your corner. He's all about bringing out people's greatest potential and any buddy of his is guaranteed to feel supported and self-assured.
Even though Mirio's an overall high energy optimist, he understands that everybody can have different preferences for what they want in encouragement. He also understands that sometimes people just need general support and he's more than willing to provide just that. He'll never push you to do anything you don't want to do or force optimism on you. He just wants you to know he's got your back.
Mirio’s favorite kind of motivation is to hype people up! Compliments and praises left and right, motivational talks all over the place if needed, he’ll make sure you won’t leave without at least some upgrade in your confidence. He’ll even chant his encouragement to you with enough energy for a whole crowd. He believes in you 1000% even if you don’t, and by no means do mistakes or failures mean you’re any less of an amazing person in his eyes because it's all part of the process of progress. You're trying and that's what really matters!
If you’re one of those people that aren’t quite that high energy and have trouble with motivation, he’s got you. He’ll listen to what troubles you and gives calmer words of encouragement. If you need help with doing things that are too overwhelming for you, he’s ready to assist in any way he can to make it easier. If you need a little push to do something that scares you, he’s there to be your safety net and express how proud he is that you had the courage to try. If you feel like you can’t do anything because life is just too hard, he’ll tell you that that’s ok. He’s proud of you for trying to push through because it takes a lot of strength to endure what you’re going through. If you ever need anything, he’ll always be there for you.
“There’s my awesome buddy! How’s being the best person in the world going for ya? Nah it’s not an exaggeration, it’s the truth! Honest!”
💀 Partner in Crime – Guzma (Pokémon)
Guzma’s that type of friend that’s fun to get in trouble with and may or may not be a bad influence on you. Parents hate him lol.
Despite Guzma’s delinquent ways he has a moral compass in there. He wouldn’t go as far as to do anything truly heinous, he’s just here to let loose and have fun. His kind of misfit fun is pranking people (especially assholes), maybe a little vandalizing and stealing things from said assholes, graffiti, trespassing to explore abandoned places, hitting up underground parties or clubs, etc. If there’s anything you haven’t tried that you weren’t sure about or didn’t want to do alone, he’s totally down for it. If anything, he might be the safest person to have around for whatever it is because he always makes sure to look out for you when you guys get up to stuff.
Guzma would never snitch on you for anything, momma didn’t raise no snitch. You won’t realize it until he does this or if you guys start playing with hypotheticals, but Guzma will give himself up or take the blame to protect you if needed. He’s aware that the way he lives isn’t a good lifestyle and he’ll partially blame himself for letting you almost get in trouble. But it hardly gets up to that point because he’s pretty good at getting you guys out of trouble whether it be through clever street smarts or intimidation. Also you know, he's got a whole gang/family to back him up and by extension back you up.
FOR LEGAL REASONS, I DO NOT CONDONE THIS AND IT’S A JOKE-: Assuming you and Guzma are thick as thieves, he’d help you get away with murder. There will be no questions. The less he knows, the better, but you're gonna be handling the majority of taking care of the body. He'll put up with a lot, but the dead gives him the jeebies.
“You and me? We're like chaos and destruction in human form. The world's gonna be shakin' at the mention of us, just you wait!”
😏 Are Y'all Dating or...? (The Bestie) – Oikawa Tooru (HQ)
Oikawa’s that type of friend to be so close with you that people wonder and ask if you two are dating. The answer is always no…uNLESS…!!
Oikawa wants to do ALL the things with you and you two never truly get tired of each other. There will be many sleepovers, shopping trips, gossip, spa days, trying new things together, road trips. Each of your families and friends will be well acquainted with you two to the point that it’s almost annoying how much you two bring each other up to people. His other good friend Iwa-chan is kind of relieved at first that there’s someone else to take on Oikawa’s antics, but soon realizes that it’s become double trouble for him as a result.
For Oikawa it’s like he’s found his platonic soulmate and he couldn’t imagine his life without you. Which is why he’s also pretty protective of you and becomes suspicious of any newcomers, though he knows how to respect your boundaries and let you live your life how you want. If you have a crush that he gets good enough vibes from, he will hype you up and try to figure out a plan to help you two get together. If anyone hurts you, he will get them back for it in a crafty yet subtle way that will simultaneously make it obvious to only that person that he’s the source of their torment.
At first people thought you guys were like siblings but with the amount of joking you guys do about cuddling and how excessively you compliment each other, people’s perceptions quickly turned. Some people might even want you two to get together, but you guys aren’t into each other like that. You’re both just platonically comfortable and close enough to make those kinds of jokes and find it amusing that people even think you two are romantically involved.
“Bestie!! I found this new café that just opened up, we gotta go try it! And tell me all about this new person you’ve got your eye on~”
👿😈The Chaotic Gremlin(s) – Denji & Power (CSM)
Denji and Power are about the same type of gremlin with slightly different quirks and might as well be a packaged deal, so here we are.
What could go wrong with these two? Literally everything. If you choose to hang out with these two you know exactly what you signed up for. You’re going to constantly get in trouble with them for destroying large amounts of property. You will be dragged into devil fights and often become the damsel in distress if you don’t have a way to protect yourself, but at least these two will literally rip the devil to shreds or be ripped to shreds to protect you. While this is nice, you’ll more than likely end up with broken bones anyways because Denji accidentally drops you from a considerable height or Power flings you out of the way without considering what the impact could do to you, much less looking where she flings you. You better be durable.
Denji and Power are constantly bickering and since you’re a third addition to this now group, they’re gonna fight over you. They come up with strange and nonsensical ways to compete in spending time with you or even just getting your attention. You’ve basically become the older sibling that the younger siblings will do anything to gain your favor and praises. Whether you use this to your advantage or not is up to you, but I have a sneaking suspicion you get these two into trouble in doing so and quickly make your escape before they can blame you for it.
On a more wholesome side of things, Denji and Power would be like a brother and sister for you. If they do anything they find personally impressive, they want you to witness it and praise them. As mentioned before they always want to win you over: Denji trying to be genuinely considerate of you and make you laugh while Power will sabotage him and even go as far as to cause trouble on purpose and accuse him of being the culprit. They’re basically your feral guard dogs, so if anybody ever harasses you these two will be threatening them with things worse than death. Whenever they want to play games or go out, you’re always dragged along. Sure their constant quarreling and grapple for your attention can get annoying, but that comes with the territory and you wouldn't have it any other way with these dummies.
Power: “The great Power demands your presence! Let’s go. Leave stinky Denji.” Denji: “Hey no fair, it’s my turn to hang out with them! And you stink worse!!”

Rating DR1 Characters on the Fight Me, Bruh Scale
On that note, here are all characters from DR1 rated based on how confident I am that I could beat them in a fight.
Yasuhiro Hagakure Hiro is a formidable clairvoyant who can foresee every punch I'm going to throw. However, he's wrong in two out of every three punches so his guard is probably worse than a non-clairvoyant's would be.
Kiyotaka Ishimaru In a fair fight, he seems like he'd be stronger than he looks. He's a strict disciplinarian who participates in Monokuma's morning workouts. But he also seems like he'd be vulnerable to cheap shots. Sand in the eyes. Nut shot. Wouldn't see it coming. He'd be whining about the unfairness while I'm on top of him, decking him.
Kyoko Kirigiri Given her line of work, she definitely carries a knife on her. But she also has a bit of delicacy to her. She always makes Makoto do anything involving physical exertion, so it's unlikely she's developed much in the way of muscle mass. She's more likely to try and avoid ever being in a situation where she has to fight than she is to actually win a fight.
Makoto Naegi Makoto is a peacemaker, not a fighter. Hell, a significant chunk of DR3's Future Arc was about how very much not a fighter Makoto is. The guy has a wealth of assets, but boxing isn't one of them. He is, however, fairly good at cardio, so he wouldn't be a total pushover either.
Leon Kuwata As an athlete, he's presumably well built. Though he relies on natural talent and doesn't put any effort in, so it's unlikely he works out. There's also a good chance he's going to do some incredibly stupid shit to impress some random girl watching us fight, and thus give me plenty of openings to work with.
Celestia Ludenberg She may look the part of a pleasant, refined little noblewoman but Celeste is a beast. She probably carries a knife somewhere on her person. Her finger-gauntlet thing is made for stabbing. She's obsessed with European royalty so she might have some fencing skills too. She definitely fights dirty.
Mondo Owada Mondo has certainly been in his share of fights. He'd be a beast of an opponent for a very straightforward slugfest - and unlike Taka, he'd be prepared for cheap shots, though he wouldn't deliver them himself. Too unmanly. Against a different opponent, his hangups about not fighting women might create openings. But I gender-present male so this would just be a straightforward, incredibly hard fistfight.
Aoi Asahina Swimmers are some of the most physically-built athletes in all of sports. Aoi's a sweetheart but she's got some strength to put behind those punches. And when she gets mad, she loses her shit. If I start shit with her, she will laser-focus on ruining my day with a mountain of hammer blows.
Hifumi Yamada All he has to do is sit on me. Sincerely. His body type is a significant advantage at close-range grappling. The guy weighs 342 lbs. Can you lift 342 lbs? Because I can't. Once he gets in close enough to grab me, I'm done.
Byakuya Togami Little rich boy probably starts crying if you-- NO THAT'S WRONG. He may look like a twig but Byakuya's one of the only people here with actual combat experience. This dude has fought gladiator-style and won. He's also utterly devoid of empathy. He will gut me without a second's hesitation and then promptly forget I even existed.
Sayaka Maizono You think Sayaka's easy pickings? You fool. You utter fool. You underestimate the lengths Sayaka will go to when backed into a corner. She fights dirty and she fights ferociously. She will do whatever it takes. Also, she reads minds. Unless there happens to be a convenient nearby mid-range weapon to keep her at bay and break her arm with, she'd be a terrifying opponent.
Mukuro Ikusaba She has a knife. She has a gun. She has a ballistic vest. This isn't a fight. This is war, and she's here to win it. Given her service history with Fenrir, I don't stand a chance.
Junko Enoshima She knows every move I'm going to make before I do. She knows exactly where my weaknesses are. And she has the combined Talents of everyone she's been able to analyze the Talents of. She's going to gouge my eyes out with those fake nails of hers, without even breaking a sweat.
Sakura Ogami Junko has the combined Talents of everyone but let's be real, Sakura's Talent is doing a lot of the heavy lifting in a fight. You know who else has Sakura's Talent? Sakura. But what Sakura has that Junko doesn't are muscles for days. You could slice meat on those abs. She could wrap her arms around my neck and flex me to death. Combine that with Ultimate Martial Arts and I'm dead in three seconds flat.
Toko Fukawa/Genocide Jack I'm lumping these in together because you might start out fighting Toko, but if the sight of blood and unconsciousness both trigger her switch then you're still fighting Jack eventually. Jack is a remorseless killer who is always armed with infinity stabbing implements. She attended Anime Warrior High School and can consequently make a Spirit Bomb out of scissors. I've got nothing for that.
Chihiro Fujisaki I punch Chihiro one time. He falls straight on his ass and cries. It's terrible. I'm a monster. Now I have to kick my own ass in retribution and that's not a situation anyone ever wants to be in.

haru, makoto, and rin: soldier, poet, or king. who's who?
OOH this is fun hold on!!
For the soldier, I chose Rin. For him, there is always another battle on the horizon that he’s gearing up for — charging onward, teeth bared, because with dreams like his he knows he has to be ready to fight. He wields resilience in a death grip because he doesn’t know a life beyond fighting or dying trying. It gets him through a lot of battles, his attitude a valiant armor that propels him forward, but it doesn’t protect him from everything. When he’s left vulnerable, faced with the reality that his heart is still a soft and expanding thing shared (and stored in pieces) with people who can’t survive fighting on the same battlefields forever… He feigns blindness to it all or cracks down the middle. There’s life outside of duty, he knows that (acknowledges it in pieces), and part of why he fights is to give others the freedom to do that, but is that… allowed for him? Who is Rin if he doesn’t have a mission on the mind, a blade in his hand? Would anyone stay around long enough to find out? To think too much about the people closest to him choosing a different path would mean entertaining such questions, and he can’t afford another crack in his shield. So he trudges forward brash and bright and full (of dreams, of passion, of grief) for as long as he can.
The poet to me is Makoto. He is someone who is observant, especially of the people he holds close, and his duty has always been in support through translation, calls-to-action through gentle suggestions. In conversations, his words and sentences are carefully crafted, anecdotes and questions made to probe in politeness and subtlety, pauses and breaks thrown in when the branching thoughts or sentiments are meant to linger. He carries the precious feelings of those around him like a blazing torch, proud to share the light of those sentiments in a way that’s comprehensible, manageable, and words are his way of doing that. That’s what he’s good at: being the artist, crafting in an endless pursuit to convey and bolster all of the beauty and wonder and hope stored in the world around him. The harder part, a new way to wield his words that still feels foreign in his mouth, is acknowledging that he is as much a precious thing in the world worth the careful consideration of a poet or a reader as anyone else. He’s comfortable in the home of someone’s heart and can walk the halls happily until he’s stopped by the sight of a mirror.
Haru, for better or worse, is stuck as the king. It’s a position, whether earned or imposed, that leaves him on a tall throne with duties overflowing from his hands. Power is a funny thing, really — he’s expected to shine, to inspire, to lead, but there are rules to the whole thing, expectations on how he’s supposed to be that hero or that vision for everyone. He’s meant to be watched and listened to, viewed with reverence from afar, but not always understood. He loves his people and his kingdom but can’t help but hold his crown with ire at how everyone is bound to defer to its presence before acknowledging humanity, humility. It’s a feeling he doesn’t believe he’s fully allowed to express (and wouldn’t properly know how to if he could), because his desires for freedom are not to run from his community or the world, but to have the chance to join it. Haru wants connection, wants joy, wants to love who and what he loves with the freedom to make missteps and be messy, wants to know he can step away from all the noise when he needs to but is still reachable and tangible right after. For now, if wearing a crown is his way of loving his people, honoring their bonds by sticking to what he knows, giving them a reason to find their own dreams (and not leave him completely rejected or alone), he’ll do it.
The neat thing about these three is that they all have something to learn from the presence of each other. Rin sees the strength in others that they might not see in themselves and isn’t afraid to ask others to rise to the challenge of having a dream that ignites them. Haru, on the other hand, serves to show others that you can step away, change your trajectory, find purpose outside of constant battles and confusing obligations by looking to small joys and caring people. Makoto is the voice to remind them both that above all else they are still human, living beyond a dream or a sword or a crown with hope and grief etched into them, and getting to connect with that exact humanity is what makes them truly cared for and admirable to others. They all balance each other out, delivering these messages and lessons as they grow together, and reflecting back what they’ve learned when the other gets lost along the way. The three roles blend into each other, weaved together by complex duties and hopes/fears of life beyond them.

I've finally made Taro and Ayano's children. 😀
I've been researching how people would make Ayano and Taro's future child or children. I wanted to make them as unique as possible and make them my own, so here we go.
Kunai Makoto Aishi is the first born daughter of Ayano and Taro. She was born when Ayano was 19 and Taro was 20. Kanai knife is a type of Japanese weapon/tool that is used for farming. It has a multi-purpose tool that can be used for digging, chopping, and even as a weapon.
Makoto means “Truth.” or “Sincerity.” Taro was the one to give her that middle name. Taro does call her that rather than her actual name. Mekoto is a unisex Japanese name, but it is more commonly used by males.
Odachi Kioshi Aishi is the second born son of Ayano and Taro. When he was born, Ayano was 20, and Taro was 21. He is a year younger than his older sister. Odachi is a curved, single-edged Japanese weapon. Odachi was used as a weapon, but because of its magnificent appearance, it was often used as an offering to kami, a Shinto shrine. Even if it was used as an offering, Odachi was usually more cumbersome, but they had much more strength and power per blow.
Kioshi means “Silent.” It is a name used for males. Taro was the one to give him that name. He thought it would be a pretty name for his son to have as a middle name. Taro does call his son by his middle name rather than his first name, just like his daughter. Ayano calls her children by their first name.
Ayano let Taro give them middle names to give him some power to give them names. Ayano was the one to name them both (by weapons).
Relationship with their parents
Kunai and Odachi were taught by Ayano about getting away with murder, cleaning up blood, kidnapping, mind breaking, etc. All of this happened behind Taro's back. Taro does know the Aishi condition that runs in the family, but not the killing part of it. Ayano was always loving to her children just like Ryoba was to her. Ayano does see her children as the creation that was made with the love between her and Taro. She would do everything for them.
Kunai is closer to Taro than Ayano. Kunai is the first born daughter. Taro would always spoil her during her childhood. Taro does the same with Odachi, but Kunai is always the one next to him. Odachi is much closer to Ayano because he's another male in the Aishi family. There have always been males in the Aishi family, but having women rather than men is much more common. Ayano wanted to make sure her son would be successful in winning his Senpai/Kohai if he ever found them because of how the world sees men when it comes to stalking, or being “lovesick” for a person. She doesn't want her son to be killed or put in prison.
Ayano and Taro always find ways to spend time with their children. Taro, when the children were younger, would read stories to them before putting them to bed. Odachi was always the one to fall asleep first. Kunai would stay up until her father would tuck her in for bed.
Odachi is a mama's boy while Kunai is a daddy's girl.
Both children were told by Taro to be kind, stand up for people, be caring, show sympathy (if they could), etc. Both children would keep it in mind but would be discouraged by Ayano.
Ayano has like… a toxic relationship between her and her children. (I might change it)
Senpai/Kohai
Kunai and Odachi don't have Senpais/Kohais. They haven't found them yet.
Kunai doesn't believe that she will find her Senpai/Kohai. The reason why is because she knows that there's a small chance of finding the person who can “fix” her and there's a higher chance that she will never find one and remain with the empty and hollow feeling on her chest for the rest of her life. She sees it as a waste of time to keep hoping that that person will come and “fix” her.
Odachi does believe he will find the person that will “fix” him. Odachi is waiting for that day to come just like Ayano did.
Aishi Condition
Kunai and Odachi can feel emotions. The problem is that they can't express it well. They can't feel the strong emotions that the people around them can. For example, when a kid gets what they want for Christmas, they get excited, jumping up and down, crying depending on the present, but Kunai and Odachi don't feel that. Kunai did shed tears at the funeral of her best friend, but didn't break down into a sob like any other person would do if someone close to them died.
The two have an empty and hollow feeling on their chest that they can't get rid of. It's like a piece is missing. They can't do anything to satisfy it, which makes them lose it at times. If you're thirsty, you drink to satisfy that feeling. If you're hungry, you eat, and so on and so on. They can't do that. They have to deal with it until the person comes and “fixes” them.
Because of this, they have moments of desperation. Ayano doesn't really help them through it. She watches until they calm down while Taro does try to comfort them as much as possible. Even with the condition, Taro does love them dearly.
Sometimes Kunai and Odachi think to themselves and believe it would be best to take their lives to escape the condition, but the thought of their father suffering from their deaths stops them from doing so. They know there have been Aishis who have taken their own lives to escape the cruel condition. Some jumped off buildings, some hung themselves, some shot themselves or asked their children to do it, etc.
Extra Information
Kunai and Odachi have an interesting relationship with their grandparents. (Both Ayano's and Taro's parents)
Kunai sees the people around her as a waste of space and air (except her best friend who passed away at the age of 13 and family). Kunai doesn't like speaking to others who don't have any meaning to her. Even as a kid, she would stay close to Taro and not say a word unless she had to and had something in mind that she wanted her parents to know. Kunai would only speak with anyone in the family.
If someone does speak to her first, she will talk back and force a smile if she needs to. She will make friends if they have something beneficial or are worth the time.
Odachi, on the other hand, sees people as objects. He sees women and men as objects. Even children. He doesn't care what age, what gender, or where they come from. They are objects to him.
Odachi doesn't see the faces of people. He has a condition named prosopagnosia. He can't see the faces of the people around except his own family and grandparents (Ayano's and Taro's parents), which he is already used to. Odachi doesn't care about what people's faces look like because they have no meaning to him. I wanted to make him different,but I'm going to probably change it and scrap this idea 🤷🏽‍♀️
It's different when he has found the one and if he has rivals to deal with. He sees his rivals (if he has any) in a different way than his own sister.
A few ways Odachi can recognize someone is by the way the person walks, their voice, their hairstyle, clothing, etc.
Kunai and Odachi have a decent relationship between them. They care for each other, but it will change if one of them is against the other or the family. They are not afraid to kill each other.
If they had rivals, they would approach them differently and go in very different routes.
Saikou vs. Aishi
If Kaga and Megami had their own children (Ichiro and Ikumi), they would be younger than Ayano and Taro's children by 5 years or so. Megami would get pregnant by the age of 24 like her mother, but there's a chance of her having children later on in her life depending on the circumstances.
So technically, the Saikou children and Aishi children won't meet. They will know about each other, but not meet officially.
Maybe in the future, they will meet or in a different timeline.
No. They don't fall in love with each other. I've seen many people use the future generation as a way to bring Saikou and Aishi together by making the Saikou child fall in love with the Aishi. That's not happening here.
Kunai doesn't believe in the Senpai Effect. She would rather be alone than getting her hopes up or failing to win her Senpai's heart. She knows exactly that there's a very low chance that she will ever meet the one that "fixes" her. Ayano was lucky to find one.
Odachi doesn't care about anyone besides his own family. Odachi doesn't see faces either. He even sees the people around him as objects. He wouldn't care about the Saikou family or the children. He doesn't even know what the Saikou family looks like besides their hair, clothing, voices, etc. Their faces are completely blurred out, so they are nothing to him.
In his vision, the heads of the people around him are replaced with flowers. Different types of flowers to represent the person's personality, the way they dress, etc. That's a way I'll probably do it for him. Once he kills someone, that flower turns gray and dies as a symbol that there's no life. 😀
That's it for now :]. I'll do another post on them later on.

The Witch and the Beast #3 - The Witch's Pastime: Final Act
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Screenplay: Yuuichirou Momose Storyboard: Motohiro Abe Episode Direction: Hae-Jeong Gim, Shinya Kawabe Chief Episode Direction: Makoto Tamagawa Chief Animation Direction: Hiroya Iijima Animation Direction: Chang-Hee Won, Hui-Yeong Yun, Ju-Hyeong Eom, O-Sik Kwon Key Animation: Sun-Yeong Seong, Su-Jin Oh, Seo-Gi Kang, Hae-Jeong Gim, Young-Chan Kim The conclusion to The Witch's Pastime arc comes with its own visual ups and downs. The episode, for the most part, was a lot more on model than the previous one, but the storyboarding is arguably quite a bit worse. There were several sequences in this episode that I felt were severely hindered by the boarding, not just the animation. For example, check out the clip below.
I wanted to post more than just this one, but Tumblr limits me to just one video per post. This is a short one, so it's easy to explain. This is more minor than the fight scene later on in this episode, but it's the same concept in terms of the issue I have with it. Abe's boards don't really even allow for animation; the way he sets up his shots to hide animation doesn't flow well together, and it feels abrupt and just kind of weird. There are much better ways to board this with about the same amount of animation planned, and it would have been a lot smoother. A simple angle change to the back of Guideau, for example, would hide the lack of any movement in general a lot better. Even if you get the best key animator for this scene, with this style of boarding, there's just not much to do with it in the first place. However, that is not to say Abe's boards were all bad. There were still some good shots in this episode. I do like that every storyboarder in this show so far seems to understand the strengths in the art direction of the show and really leans into it. Abe also interestingly changes a lot of shots which obscure the face from the manga, such as Ashaf's face being visible when the dummy is revealed or one of the brothers no longer being obscured by shadows unlike the manga, when he's sneak attacking Guideau. Abe's boards were fine, but I do think out of all the storyboarders, he definitely seems to be the most subtle with his own stylistic choices. I still enjoyed the episode. This arc has never been one of my favorites, even in the manga, and the anime adaptation of it has some hiccups here and there. However, I would still say it has been a pretty decent adaptation so far.
Also, if you're interested, the prop designer for The Witch and the Beast, Miki Matsuda, posted the gun designs used in this episode on his Twitter. Please take a look and consider following him!
Tumblr media
His work on this show has been consistently great so far. This sentiment extends to my overall opinion on the visual aspects of the series. From the character designer to the art director and prop designer, everyone is excelling. The Witch and the Beast is a series that heavily relies on its style, and I believe they've truly understood the assignment when working on it. While there might be some production shortcomings in this particular arc, who knows how future ones will unfold. Plus, any off-model issues can likely be addressed through Blu-ray corrections. I don't find the action sequences too bad, and the anime maintains a strong sense of style that I still enjoy.
Spoiler alert, since I'm a bit late in writing this: Episode 4 has been out for a week now, and episode 5 is on the horizon. The production quality in episode 4 stands out as one of the best in the series, giving me hope that this second arc was just a resting point, and that they have bigger plans for future arcs. I'll save my discussion on episode 4 more for when I write about it.

The Persona Concert went all out with Aikoto
I bought the ticket and in an unexpected turns of events: someone in Atlus decided to feed us some Aikoto!
Tumblr media
I won't share the video out of respect for the guidelines, but I am absolutely walking you all through it with as many photos as Tumblr will allow.
Warning: the post is image heavy and contains spoilers for the concert!
Burn My Dread -Last Battle- starts with Makoto on his own. He dances a little, preparing himself for battle, and then he is joined by Aigis.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The two circle each other, turn to face one another and share a nod. Obviously, whatever is going on: they're in this together.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
For the next minute or so, they fight and dance together. Each has their own choreography except for the chorus, where they dance in unison. Throughout it, we see little exchanges, like Aigis watching Makoto and placing her hand over her heart before nodding resolutely. Much like in P3D, we also see both of them doing their acrobatics, including one bit where they do a cartwheel together.
Until the shadows get the best of them. Like in the movies, Aigis is swallowed by them. The camera sadly pans away so we miss part of it, but we can see Makoto reaching out for her from afar. Next thing we know, he is alone once again. He falls to his knees, and 2D Makoto is replaced by the actor playing him in the concert.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Makoto is joined by the SEES representatives in the concert. They dance around the stage, and we see Makoto fighting with his sword. At the end, much like in the Burn My Dread - Last Battle - MV from P3D, SEES seem to give Makoto their strength.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
And here is when it gets ridiculously Aikoto. After doing that, SEES exit the stage and Makoto is left on his own again. He dances/fights a bit on his own and we reach the end of the song.
At that moment, he turns his back to the audience and reaches towards the screen.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
When the camera pans out, we realize Aigis is on that screen - smiling at him, surrounded by light like something out of a shoujo. Safe and sound.
Tumblr media
The lights fade to black, and the song ends.
Now, excuse me while I gather myself, but it's really interesting how you can read this in a bunch of different ways and they all lead to Aikoto:
Homage to the rooftop scene? - You're telling me Aigis through Makoto's eyes looks like this? He's basically got shoujo filters on
Homage to the the Burn my Dread MV from P3D? - Confirms Makoto's looking at Aigis at the end, otherwise all of SEES 3D models would've been included here
Resolution to Makoto losing Aigis to the shadows during the concert? - Extra layer with SEES trying to help Makoto get her back
They all but turned this into a Memories of You role-reversal 😂

Uh I guess I’ll put my final thoughts on tactica here.
Main Story
This had a lot of potential that I feel was missed. I liked Toshiro as a character, and seeing how the game was setting itself up to be his palace, and the consistent chiding from other characters about his crimes, I was really excited about the idea of the phantom thieves getting to know, relate to, and sympathize with someone they would have to steal the heart of and trying to figure out how with him. The game sort of took the opposite direction of that by having Toshiro do nothing wrong in his life though.
I was pretty excited when his shadow was revealed thinking ‘Wow, maybe they’ll pull a Persona 4 and he’ll have to accept the worst parts of himself to heal!’ But they took the lazy route of having his shadow just be a fake.
Erina also I feel was just reduced to being there to develop Toshiro. Don’t get me wrong, I love her, and Toshieri is extremely cute, but she’s pretty much just there to be a love interest. Both of these characters had so much potential that went wasted.
I think the thieves were mostly just their flanderized selves. They blended into the background but there was nothing too egregious. In particular, I’m glad there was no mention of the police from Makoto, and she gets to be the cool, slightly scary, and passionate senpai she was meant to be. I also like how they had Haru explain some sort of redeeming qualities her dad had, so we can see why she misses him a bit more. I still don’t like how the game lets him off the hook so much though. Let Haru realize her dad was a piece of shit 2023. And they sexualize Ann and have her be harrassed way less which is a god sent. In particular there seems to be an attempt of sorts to sand away some of the #problematic aspects of the original which is always welcome. The Ryuji wedding put a smile on my face.
Also Samael was just Yaldabaoth for a third time. It’s become comedic how many times the phantom thieves have killed/defeated Gods at this point.
One last thing: Toshiro deserved a phantom thief outfit. I’m very dissapointed they did not give that man a fruity little costume to wear.
DLC
So I maaaaaay be biased because I love Akechi and Sumire, but I liked this one way more.
Seeing these three actually get to have a full adventure together instead of the pittance we have in Royal, I felt like I was feasting like a king (no pun intended). Sumires idealism clashing with Akechi’s realism, and Akechi willing to go along if she gives him enough puppy dog eyes, her admiring his strength while he admires her kindness, is the perfect dynamic for them.
And it’s also nice seeing some softer moments from Akechi here. It’d be easy to argue that this is part of the mask, but you can really see in this game how despite his reservations, he really does come to feel for Luca and Guernica which makes sense considering his own roots match up with theirs. Honestly he probably sees a lot of himself in Guernica, as a person unable to change anything and filled with rage, driven to do horrible things by a manipulator… yeah that might hit a bit too close to home.
Sumire also feeling internalized guilt about Kasumi with Guernica and Lucas conflict is. Aaaaaugh… she’s so upset about how she and Kasumi grew apart, and she’s upset at Guernica for saying she doesn’t need her sister because she’s mad at HERSELF, but she doesn’t know it’s herself so she’s projecting it onto Guernica. Ooooh that’s so cool.
Also I liked having all the options to mess with Akechi during the story. All his thinly veiled anger moments were such a blessing.
Guernica and Luca were such good characters too. They were definitely a lot more simple in backstory than Toshiro but I think that’s for the best. Guernica has a cool design, a good backstory, and her helping out in the final boss and bonding with the PTs is a good way to endear us to her, and it’s even a little sweet how she counts Sumire and Akechi as the PTs who saved her. They aren’t ‘true’ phantom thieves, but they still helped make a persons life better, and for Akechi who wanted to be a hero, and Sumire who thought she’d never measure up to Kasumi, having them be able to save someone and make their life better is a heartwarming conclusion.
Also Jerri is just Samael again, but she gets points for being camp and slay.
Im a bit upset the trio gained collective amnesia after the story, but it makes sense that this had to happen for the sake of not having inconsistencies with Royals story. But also… CMAAAAAAAHN.
Gameplay and Graphics
I don’t usually like tactical games because I’m dumb as hell. I’m speaking as someone who really loves fire emblem awakening, I often do NOT play these games for the gameplay.
All that said, I had so much fun with the gameplay of this game. The way persona mechanics combine with a tactical rpg is so surprisingly fun. Trying to rack up ‘one more’s to travel across the board is so much fun, landing a big hit is extremely satisfying, it is SO MUCH FUN to walk up to an enemy and smack them out of their cover, and it’s so cool to land an all out attack on as many enemies as possible, it’s so much fun and I went out of my way to get every award and do every quest.
I also liked having every member of the party able to equip any persona. It helps with builds of characters, and from a story perspective it makes Joker less of a ‘special boy who’s the narratives favorite.’
I also LOVED the more steampunk aesthetic of the velvet room. The fusion animations were adorable, and if we’re moving onto art, this is the first time Lavenzas design really clicked for me. In the og artstyle I think Lavenzas design isn’t really memorable compared to Caroline and Justine, but she looks really cute here! The chibi artstyle is very cute and simple, but you can tell how much effort went into it from how the animated cutscenes with the models look just as good as the 2D animated scenes. That’s genuinely impressive and points to a lot of effort in the models!
So all in all, I think the game had a lot of missed potential but I’m glad I played it if just for the DLC.

I see there is a placeholder for a narusena post in your masterlist.. any chance it’ll be linked soon
hngnggngn i'm sorry anon but probably no... i have no clue how to begin with them because there's so many interesting things about them. gonna just ramble under read more.
i love their r/s where izumi is one of the only people who primarily see her as a Bitch because he literally grew up with her and she used to steal jobs from him Just Because. and also she literally slapped him on their first meeting as kids because Izumi was crying and wouldn't shut up. i love them. i just think very hard about the conversation they had in Euthanasia, where Naru was feeling guilty about breaking her onee-chan persona to insist on her views on Knights' direction. Izumi just went "? i knew you were this kind of person all along. And it's okay to be selfish, have you seen me? We're literally the same kind of person." Izumi epitome of self-love, he understands when people are being selfish because he acknowledges and accepts the selfish part of himself too lmao
and then there's also the way Naru treats Izumi. Pirates (early ! timeline) is super funny because Izumi is just whining the whole time and Naru perfectly wrangles him like a kindergartener by bribing, and he bites it hook line and sinker. But it's also really wholesome and sweet because you have Izumi FS2 where Izumi is giving an unnamed newbie model lots of unwanted advice and Naru correctly interprets that scene as Izumi being kind, because he sees the newbie's potential and wants him to achieve it. She knows and appreciates Izumi's strong points and I just really love that because Izumi is so prickly that it's usually his annoying parts that really stand out. But she sees his charm points anyway. And in the same scene, she steps in and stops him before he gets too annoying because well. She knows him and how he has a tendency to rub people the wrong way. I love how Naru is an expert Izumi-wrangler, but she always does this with so much fondness and appreciation of not just his flaws, but also his strengths.
the way Izumi treats Naru is also so funny because he's just so petty and mean but it rolls off her back like water. idk if you read Checkmate but he used to call her "shitty four-eyes" because she wore specs and "i know you don't like your name so i came up with an alternative". i can't decide if he's being considerate or not.
in I think Runway, Naru actually points out how Izumi is plays favourites because he's always pampering Makoto (in his own way) but all he does with Arashi, who's also a junior model from the same period, is call her a shitty brat. i can't rmb how he responded, but basically he thinks nothing about being slightly mean to her because 1) he knows she can handle it 2) he's not really lying when he says she's a shitty brat. and I think sometimes, she needs the reminder that it's okay to prioritise your own feelings and opinions rather than be a good supportive onee-chan all the time.
their banter is just really really funny. idk if you've seen any clips of the stage play, but they're really great there too. NaruSena was my favourite dynamic when i first got into enstars because they're just so lively and it's clear that neither of their feelings are hurt when they're being mean to the other.
it's also really funny how they can like... be really horrible and enable each other. There's the whole Knights Kidnapping issue where all of Knights enables each other to commit crimes and none of them blink an eye. I think Naru and Izumi really are the key culprits here, because if anyone was to be in a position to stop Izumi before kidnapping became a Knights Thing, it really was Naru. Ritsu was too sleepy at this point of the year to do anything, but Naru was fully capable of seamlessly stepping into the Leader role. And she didn't stop him <3 And during Izumi's birthday this year, she brought Makoto to Izumi's party. It's a running joke that Makoto never shows up for Izumi's party while Ritsu always does and ignores Rei (same birthday as Izumi). And this year Makoto came to Izumi's party because of Naru. I think she truly made his day, they're so sweet. (Poor Makoto.) And don't forget Naru's obsession with Kunigi and how she even changed her appearance to emulate him in her 2nd year. They're really the same person in different font. Platonic soulmates fr. They get each other.

Ok very cool that the guys' kinks were revealed BUT DO THEY DOUBLE TEAM ON AFTERCARE TOO 😭im sorry i gotta know
Most definitely!
Makoto’s the one that’s really into the traditional aspects of BDSM, so he’s all about the aftercare, and it’s usually amplified when his partner happens to be someone he has a soft spot for. The only thing that separates him from the role of a true dom is his complete lack of respect where safe words and consent are concerned. He has a tendency to push his partner’s past what they are capable of handling, and he often thinks he’s a much better judge of what they need and usually ends up disregarding their choices entirely. So he thinks that being overly thorough with the aftercare will make up for it in some backhanded way.
Hideki on the other hand, isn’t as big into BDSM as Makoto is. He’s certainly a very dominant man, and he likes to have complete authority and control over people, and that’s especially evident where sex is concerned. But he also knows that just simply having a taste for rough and filthy sex doesn’t exactly qualify as BDSM. For example, if he wanted to restrain his partner, he’d much rather use his own physical strength to do it, rather than use a tool of some kind. He is very a very affectionate person however, and enjoys slow and passionate sex just as much as he loves the fast and rough kind. He has a kind of caregiver personality and as long as the person he’s with is doing what he wants, than he’s usually more than willing to dole out plenty of tenderness, both during and after sex. Unlike his best friend though, no matter what kind of relationship it is, Hideki is much more straight forward with his partner’s in regards to what he expects from them. Letting them know right away that if they can’t handle giving him complete control over their autonomy, then they better back out while they still can…
A choice he and Makoto most definitely won’t ever be extending to the Reader.

so let's compare our notes
we know subject 5 was kept in the lab and had medical tests done which unintentionally gave him super strength, Junko's level of bloodlust which means that he has no trouble killing people, should be around 20 as of right now and most likely has blue eyes
and we know someone in the main cast who has had medical tests done which unintentionally gave him super strength, doesn't give a shit about taking lives and almost seems to enjoy killing people, is around the age of 20 and has blue eyes
subject 5 is Kuripa I'm calling it now
Tumblr media
...
Tumblr media
Well Shuichi? What's your verdict? You were the one saying that Kuripa was little more than a psycho that tries to justify blatant murder.
Tumblr media
Yeah...well...It is true that Kuripa is crazy, but...
Tumblr media
To be honest...I don't think it's him.
Tumblr media
Really? Why not?
Tumblr media
Well, aside from his appearance not matching the books...given that his hair is a very unusual color compared to most examples...
Tumblr media
We're looking for someone who has been infected by a virus that has altered their personality and changed them to make them more like Junko Enoshima.
Tumblr media
Yes...Kuripa is ridiculously strong, and if he's always been this way, then it adds up that he could have massacred lots of people even as an 8 year old. He's also got no qualms with taking lives and in fact, often takes a sadistic joy in doing so.
Tumblr media
But somehow...I really doubt that Kuripa fits the bill...
Tumblr media
And why is that?
Tumblr media
...He's too nice.
Tumblr media
I'm sorry?
Tumblr media
I know how that sounds, especially given all the things I said about him but...
Tumblr media
You were saying earlier that I relied on the strength of others to get me to where I am now. Kuripa is one such person.
Tumblr media
Early on, he showed me the ropes, helped me with small tasks and...genuinely cared. I'M the one who spat on HIS contributions, and really, he was just trying to discipline me as my senpai. I forgot that...he means a lot to me, despite everything he's done.
Tumblr media
Not to mention...all the good he's done for everyone else. Rescuing Makoto, training Kaede, helping Kokichi and his staff members with little to gain in return...Even if he is blunt with his words and has a sadistic side...
Tumblr media
Kuripa...is a good guy. I just...didn't appreciate that.
Tumblr media
So...you don't think he could be Subject 5...simply because you believe he's not?
Tumblr media
Belief is a strong thing...and I always took it into account before...I just...lost myself in this case.
Tumblr media
But if you want logistics and evidence, I have those too. Unless all his life documents are somehow forged, which as things stand seem unrealistic, he has accounts and alibis for his childhood from when he was a child to his induction into Hope's Peak and the Future Foundation.
Tumblr media
How'd you come across that?
Tumblr media
Kuripa rose quickly up the Future Foundation's ranks. He became Makoto's right hand guy in Branch 14 within the space of a week because of his contributions and the fact that he could seemingly do anything that was asked of him. When he did, the Foundation naturally took an interest in him and started documenting his life.
Tumblr media
I'll admit...Kuripa's life before the Foundation is not a complete puzzle. There are many things missing. But none that can't be explained through logical thinking and reasoning.
Tumblr media
When he was registered to Hope's Peak, he actually skipped his first year, only attending class in the second. This was odd to me, but it turns out this was because he was taking care of his sister, Kotoko, who was transferring and getting used to a new school. Since Kotoko didn't have any parents, Kuripa served as her guardian, and devoted most of his time to her. Makoto confirmed this with me.
Tumblr media
I see...So...Subject 5 couldn't be Kuripa?
Tumblr media
No...Kuripa is definitely one of our top suspects. Too much matches up for him not to be...
Tumblr media
But...I wouldn't be surprised if we turned out to be wrong. That's all.

So Sovereign is actually one of my favorite things about this AU. Partially due to the design I came up with, and because I actually got to flesh the idea out by working with a friend of mine on the concept.
A quick disclaimer though, I don't necessarily want or expect anyone to use these concepts or ideas, even if we're writing in my main verse. My threads with @/queenxfjustice showcase that pretty well. This whole AU was originally meant for a fanfic that I adapted into an RP account. I'm not trying to tell anyone how to write their character, this is mostly just for fun. That said if anyone wants to use this or any other concepts from my AU for a thread, I am open to the idea as long as you talk it over with me first.
Let's start with the basic premise. Sovereign is Makoto Niijima with a version of the Venom symbiote, while also taking major inspiration from Gwen Stacy (Both 616 and Earth 65). It's not exactly the same thing, but in terms of abilities it might as well be. It can do everything symbiotes can traditionally do. Increased Strength, Speed, and Agility, tendrils that can be used for attacking or swinging, mimicking clothing, etc.
Tumblr media
What makes it special is the Persona aspect. These symbiotes act as another means of using Personas outside of the Metaverse, but not only that, can be used to manifest them in reality at no cost to stamina, even allowing the user to only summon parts of them to create more devastating attacks. Additionally, it can create/mimic various weapons for its user, as well as switch their elemental weakness to a different element. She later unlocks another form based on Anat, where she wears the Persona like a suit of armor.
There is a cost to this power however. These symbiotes are made of raw desire from the Metaverse (The same stuff that runs through those veins in Mementos if I remember correctly) mixed with the serum that gave... pretty much everyone else on the team their powers. And spending too long with raw desires, especially desires that aren't naturally yours, can really twist a person's mind. A passing thought can become an obsession, or a slight annoyance can become pure hatred.
They don't inherently have minds of their own, but will slowly create one based off the thoughts and actions of those bonded to them. And that, in turn, will dictate what the suit will push its wearer to do. It's literally a hell of their own making.
So, how does Makoto get this suit, and what does she do with it?
Well, first we need to briefly go over what happened prior to this.
Makoto was one of the founding members of the team in this timeline, helping Aaron and the others investigate the kidnappings perpetrated by the Shadows possessing people (More about that arc in this post here). The team fight the shadows atop Shido Tower, alongside her father Captain Niijima (haven't decided on a first name for him yet-). There Ann and Ryuji get exposed to the serum, released in a giant cloud on the roof, awakening to their powers. However, because the serum is deadly to those who haven't accepted their shadow, and because there's no real way to tell who has and hasn't, Makoto and her father wear gas masks and try to stop the serum from spreading any further.
They're successful, but the Captain is killed right in front of her, giving his life to save Aaron from a fatal blow.
Things... did not go well from there. Makoto was obviously distraught over thing, and to make matters worse, Aaron begins to distance himself from her, both to protect her and because he... kinda blames himself for her father's death.
To top it all off, Sae spends more and more time at work, convinced that Spider-Man killed their father, and will stop at nothing to catch him, dead or alive.
The others tried to help comfort her, but she wasn't very receptive to it. Just saying that she was fine, and pushing herself further to focus on her work. Both for the student council, her internship at ShidoCorp, and for the team... even if they all thought she needed a break.
And that's when Goro Akechi entered the scene. Proclaiming on live television that he would catch Spider-Man, and he'd do it through a partnership with the Shido Corporation. He'd be using a new "high tech" suit they'd designed to bring that menace to justice.
But it wasn't just tech. Even just looking at it on a screen, she could tell right away. It was too sleek, too... alien to be man made. And since she still had access to the labs through her internship, she decided to look into it.
She was right, of course. She discovered the company's symbiote program, and started poking around to see what she could dig up on these things, wanting to give the team every advantage she could.
But then... one of them escaped, lunging for her almost immediately. The next thing she knew, she was hanging upside down from a skyscraper.
At first she was freaked out, but the longer she wore it the more it started to... click. She didn't have to be on the sidelines anymore. She had power now, she could help people just like the others did!
But... she wasn't quite in her right mind. Between her father's death, her best friend and sister pushing her away, and all the pressure and manipulation she'd been put through most of her life... she was angry. Angry at the world. The world that put all that pressure on her, the world that kept her sister away from home, the world that took her father's life. Shadows were born of humans, after all.
And that anger was twisted into a violent rage by the suit. Anytime she'd come across some criminals, she'd leave them in progressively worse and worse states, pushing her limits just a little further each time, until she was leaving nearly all her opponents on the brink of death.
The world took everything from her, and she would make them suffer.
It wasn't long before she crossed paths with the team. She tried to explain herself, tried to justify her brutality, but they didn't understand. They couldn't understand. So they fought.
In reality, she was the one who threw the first punch, losing her temper after Aaron suggested she take the suit off. But in her mind, they'd betrayed her. And what's worse, tried to take the one thing that made her feel free.
It'd be the first of many fights between them.
That night after she got home, she and her sister got into a fight, a fight that escalated very quickly due to the state she was in. So she stormed off, running away from home. She didn't need her. She didn't need anyone.
She was a nomad, drifting from place to place, fight to fight. Rationing out what money she had on her to keep herself fed.
There'd be several clashes between her, the team, and even Akechi on occasion, all the while she'd decline further and further, slowly forgoing any sense of morals, any care for collateral damage, any strategy beyond getting back at anyone and everyone who'd ever hurt her, no matter how petty the grudge.
She started with Kaneshiro's clan, or what was left of it, hitting target after target, decimating everything in her path. Then she paid a visit to Principal Kobayakawa, taking great pleasure in making his fate as slow and painful as possible. He was hospitalized later that night, and he'd spend the next several months jumping at any shadow on the wall.
Then she visited her dad's old precinct in Shibuya, the place that was rife with corrupt cops, that made her father's job all the more difficult. The place that had robbed her of so much time with him.
She tore through the place in an afternoon. Nothing could stop her, nothing seemed to even hurt her... except for a simple taser.
But she saved the worst for last. Her sister. The one everyone compared her to, the one who put so much pressure on her, the one that'd abandoned her to pursue revenge. She stopped by the courthouse, tore down the wall to her office, and took her hostage before disappearing into the night.
She brought her to the aquarium, the place they'd used to visit every year with their dad before he died. She took off her mask and just started screaming at her. If she was going to do this, she wanted her to know exactly why.
Tumblr media
She was going to kill her... but that's when her friends found her.
Still, there wasn't much they could do. Sure Ryuji's electric attacks were extremely painful, but they were holding back. She was still "their friend," after all.
Eventually, it all came down to her and Aaron. He'd abandoned her too, he deserved to suffer for that.
But after she said that... he stopped fighting. Instead he apologized for everything, saying that he deserved whatever she was going to do to him. But also that he still believed in her, that she could beat this thing. And that... that got to her.
In a brief moment of clarity, she was able to fight against the suit, and throw herself into the aquarium's power generator, finally freeing herself from its grasp.
She wouldn't wear it again for a while after that... but she would eventually wear it again, only with much more control than she had before... though she also kept a taser on her just in case.
She would attempt to make up with her sister soon after. But while Sae forgave her for what she did, as she wasn't really herself, she couldn't forgive the fact that she was working with the man who she believed had killed their father. Makoto tried to explain, but Sae wouldn't listen, and threw her out.
Makoto would live with Sojiro and Futaba for the next few months. She and Sae do eventually make up, but I'll save that for when I eventually explain how I adapted Sae's Palace.
So... there you go. That's Sovereign. Obviously, I left a LOT out, and even then it still took way too shocking long to get through it all. But I'm curious what you guys think of this whole arc. Is it interesting? Do you think I screwed something up? Honestly, I'll take all the feedback I can get.

Just dropping by another au idea that i will not elaborate like, I'm thinking of a rise of the guardians! AU (hopefully at least you've watched the movie, like the books have more elaborate lore on the guardians but we're not gonna dive deep into all that)
anyway so, STYLE FIVE as the guardians. Like, each guardian (santa, Easter bunny, tooth fairy, sandman, and jack frost) represents a concept of childhood which is their core, the very thing that they must share with the world (also their abilities and duty stem from this core, lime how the tooth fairy is the guardian of memories and collects the teeth which contain glimpses of childhood memories etc.)
Sooo....
Santa claus = guardian of wonder = nagisa
Tooth fairy = guardian of memories = makoto
Sandman = guardian of dreams = rin
Easter bunny = guardian of hope = rei
Jack frost = guardian of fun = haru
I don't wanna say that the free boys correspond to the guardian character, but rather the concept they represent so... yeah. Thoughts? I really didn't give much thought to this so it's fair if you don't either 😭
OKAY HI HELLO I LOVE THIS!! I adore that movie and wanted to watch it again before responding to this, so here we are 😌
Having Haru step into the same position as Jack makes so much sense with how long it takes him to find his center or understand how he could be qualified to be any sort of guardian (being given high regard and responsibilities without knowing himself or the “why” behind it is just another way of being invisible, to him), and the answer lying in people seeing/believing in him most when he’s doing what he loves, having fun, and having an quiet sense of pride in it. Guardian!Haru works to bolster all of the other virtues the guardians are looking after (hopes, dreams, wonder, memories) by inspiring authenticity, in a way. That’s his strength, his center — he puts his all into the few things he does because he enjoys those things, or he knows what he’s doing will help in equally important goals/pursuits (aka, even if an action doesn’t bring him direct and immediate joy, that effort might help someone else have fun, and sharing in fun/joy is a very precious thing).
I love the roles you chose for them because it works so well for each of them?? Like, it makes sense for Nagisa to be a guardian with endless ideas and huge eyes, encouraging people to be constantly curious. It makes sense for Rei to be a guardian for hope, for trying again, for seeing each hard misstep as a lesson moving forward, and hard seasons and nights survived as changes for bright mornings and new beginnings. It makes sense for Rin to protect the dreamers, the hopeless romantics, the people with aspirations and borderline impossible ideas bigger than themselves, pushing them to find something to hold onto in the whirlwind that’ll drive them endlessly forward. It makes sense for Makoto to be the grounding and steadying force in all of these virtues that push people forward by preserving the reminders of who they once were, where their old dreams and hopes and wonders lead them in the past, what inspires them to have fun or dare to live in the first place. They’re the protectors of tomorrows, of yesterdays, of the joyous possibilities and intriguing impossibilities of todays. AND THAT IS SO FUN
There’s also just the interesting character dynamics that emerge from those respective values, all working together but distinct enough to still cause some friction. I can see Haru and Rin butting heads like they did in ES (and other times, but most noticeably here) where Haru perceives things through preserving the fun of the present, while Rin often has his eyes glued to the path forward or to the sky. One forgets what it’s like to aspire for more, and one forgets what it’s like plants roots or settle where you are. It isn’t a set dichotomy, but Nagisa’s guardianship over wonder meshes more with Haru’s domain of fun (relishing in all of the whimsy of the present), and Rei’s propensity for hope leans more into Rin’s domain of dreams (both rooted in the delight of striving for change, for more). Makoto’s position in all of this becomes complex because he understands both pulls, because memories aren’t just objective points from the past planted on timelines, but stories formed by who someone is now and all they imagine themselves to be. Memories are proof that even in the perilous march of time, even in the inevitability of change, we’re allowed to preserve bits of those things we loved and carry them with us for strength wherever we may go next. His center makes him the glue, or the thread that connects them all together (and for angst reasons, it may not always work, but dang if he isn’t trying).
I don’t have much thought on character positions for them (like, taking over different holiday mascot roles as opposed to being their own original guardians or something), but the sheer vibes of it all and what they can all learn from each other are just !!!! Chef’s kiss, dude
(and if somebody constructed a loose plot with Ryuuji or Hiyori or Sousuke taking on the role of Pitch Black where they have to maybe break away from their reign over [and reliance on] isolation/fear/nightmares I’d be 👀 intrigued)

ooc. Question time for you, duckie ! <3 Happy Munday ! 01. What is your favorite character ( or top 3 ) in the RGG universe and why ? 02. Is there a muse or muses on your roster that you wish you could write with more? 03. What is your favorite OC that you've ever made and why? 04. Do you have any advice for new roleplayers?
Uɴᴘʀᴏᴍᴘᴛᴇᴅ ᴀsᴋ ━ ﹗
☆ Happy Munday to you too!! ♡
01. What is your favorite character (or top 3) in the RGG universe and why?
☆ I'm going with the top three! No particular order either.
So, this is no doubt and many may have seen it from a mile away. Goro Majima. Yes, I am one of those people who has fallen head over heels with him and his character. While I do enjoy his chaotic and crazy act, I do enjoy the depth to his character. Well, as the games goes on. Originally, he was suppose to be this character, who constantly fought Kiryu and had this crazy personality to him. Apparently, the devs never expected to see so much love for him that they took a step further for him and added more depth to hos character. As mentioned before, again, it's why I love him so much.
He's more of this chaotic guy who will tell at the top of the lungs, do the most bizarre things (making Nishida cut the bomb with him, slamming hos head against the desk to activate a secret way, have the whole Majima Everywhere, etc), and make people be on their toes, guessing what he's going to do next. In the end, he is much more than what we see. He is much calmer and willing to help the people around him (even if how he does things or how he approaches his men in a /caring/ way can be shitty). He is willing to put his own desires and happiness to the side for the sake of others, putting them above his own well-being. As seen with Makoto, which another factor that plays in with her is that she didn't want to deal with the yakuza no longer, and how many times Majima agreed to look after Daigo. Not that Majima didn't want to or is against the idea, but to be approached by someone you cared so much about and is consider as close to you (rather you see Kiryu and Majima's dynamic as romantic or platonic), only to be asked to do something for him. Not the whole how are you or can we hang kind of things.
There's a lot I can go on about Majima but I said the piece I wanted for now.
Next up is Takayuki Yagami. Honestly, he wasn't my favorite right away. It seems like that is sometimes my case in any sort of fandom. Certain characters ain't my favorite right off the bat, especially protagonists. I actually had Kaito as my favorite. I still do. It's more so, after going through my second playthrough of Judgement, I enjoyed Yagami a lot more. I am also a sucker for characters that can do martial arts as well as being perceptive. And I also realized how much I am a sucker for detectives too.
I know Yagami gets hate for being a protagonist. Just because people found him - as a character and a protagonist - to be bland and dull, preferring the other characters. I mean it's understandable. Not every character is everyone's cup of tea. Everyone has their likes and dislikes. To me, he's not dull or bland. He has his own unique personality going on. Sure, he does run off to do things on his own from time to time. At the same time, he knows when to rely on the group of people he is with. As seen repeatedly throughout both games. He isn't entirely alone and he is aware of his strength and weaknesses. Yes, he makes his own mistakes. We all do. He also is willing to help those in need, especially giving justice to those who cannot get the justice they want anywhere else. He understands that sometimes the justice system is flawed and can have its loopholes. As seen with his parents' death or with Okubo or with the story of Lost Judgement. He is aware of it and he is actively trying to make it better and fair for everyone. He knows this. He is aware.
And for the last one, Tianyou Zhao. To be perfectly honest, as much as all the characters are adored in LAD, not one had became my top favorite. The one where I can actively point and be like, "yes, that's my absolutely favorite." The closes I'll get is Ichiban and Nanba. Just cause I loved them both and their dynamic is somewhat similar to how one of my irl best friends and I are. She's more so Nanba and I'm Ichiban, though if I wanted to have a RGG dynamic describe our friendship better than those two, it would be Yagami and Kaito's dynamic. I do not know how many times she would say something and a few seconds later, Kaito would say the same thing, which results in us bursting out laughing.
Back to the point, it took me a while to warm up to anyone else. Once I did, I immediately enjoyed Zhao the most. The way he sounds so playful and ready to be unpredictable, only to have a softer side to him. I know people say he's Majima 2.0 and I can see it, but he's not Majima 2.0. Yes, the two characters are similar. Both puts up a front to avoid being manipulated and to avoid people seeing the softer side to them. The more you get close to them or if something serious goes down, they drop the act. At the same time, Zhao is much more softer. He is his own person. He tries to act all tough and try to set examples, but he simply can't. Unlike Seong-hui, who can ruthlessly do things, Zhao can't do it. Such as when it came to Mabuchi. Despite the amount of times Mabuchi showed how he is, Zhao cannot push past the fact that the two are - if not, were- great friends. Out of everyone, Mabuchi knew Zhao best as Zhao to Mabuchi.
Sneaking in a fourth one cause I realized how much I loved him. Shusuke Kenmochi. To be honest, I was iffy on him when we were getting introductions for the characters before the game was released. It's not like I hated him or disliked him. He didn't appeal to me as much as a few other characters did. It wasn't until I was going through The Kaito Files and talking to one of my friends about my journey through that I realized Kenmochi had became my favorite. My friend even screenshot that very moment too. It's ironic too cause the same friend muses him and said he didn't mind tossing the character my way.
02. Is there a muse or muses on your roster that you wish you could write more?
☆ In fact, I do!
Funny enough, one of them is Miss Tatsu. I added her a while back as well as gotten a good feedback on doing so. I'm so off and on with her. Like, there are moments where I get random burst of wanting to rp with her, only to be sitting there, unsure what to do with her. Like, I have everything set in stone for her. Her background, how she is throughout the games, etc.
Another one, which is surprising to see, is Tesso. Much like Miss Tatsu- or rather, kinda - I have nearly everything set down him. The only thing I wanna flesh out is how he knew of Zhao and how the White Mask came to be. I do have a few ideas to. For Tesso knowing Zhao, I am actually bugging a friend about it. I love to bug more people and bounce ideas off of as well as build that up with others. Both knowing Zhao and the White Mask as well as anything else. I genuinely hate to ask for such things because I don't want people to feel pressured to do something they aren't interested in doing.
The other is Mikiko Sadamoto. I do not know how many people went through the DLC but I want to use her more.
For OCs, it'll be Shido, Mei-Xing, and Torio. For the longest, I want to figure out what to do for Shido. I want to give her a kyoudai, given she is a yakuza or once a yakuza. Plus, I love to use her more.
Mei-Xing is a new OC. So, the urge to use her more is strong. Pluuuuus, much like Tesso, I want to explore the whole White Mask Branch, especially given she is a member.
For Torio, I do not know what to do. All I know I want to plot and use her more.
While she is not a muse I wish to use more because I am already using her more, I do wish to use Xiuying during her hostess era.
03. What is your favorite OC you've ever made and why?
☆ I have some. Many aren't on my roster because I literally have no spark to use them and they'll be sitting there, collecting dust.
One of my oldest OCs, Rikuto Ikeda. Half fox demon, who all I can say for his personality is much like Ichiban's. Optimistic on life, doesn't care what others think of him, want to help others, etc. Just him being so wise yet being a himbo is so enjoyable.
Another is Maddox Courtland and Ace Thornton. Both share the same universe with each other. Maddox is your typical lone wolf with a lot of tragic events happening in his life. I love how much I put into his character. Out of all my OCs, he takes the number one spot of having so much information on him. The second place is given to Xiuying. Anyways, Ace is a dumbass that is enjoyable. I can't say he is a himbo because he is not massive in size or height. Just this twink who can and will hit you with his spears yet capable of controlling blood. He has the most plot out storyline with a friend.
Kitty is another. Originally she stemmed from three places. One is to have a character who wanted to learn most of her skills because she wanted to, another is from an inspiration, and the third stemmed from another OC. I was afraid she may be another OC and was determined to make her own character. Now, look where she is.
Xiuying is, of course, on here. As mentioned before, she has a lot of information on her. I spent a lot of time plotting with others for her as well as just dump information publicly so everyone can read. Even used her a lot and determined some things about her. Xiuying is just this motherly yet blunt person you can go to. You can get comfort yet don't have to get stuff sugarcoated for you.
Torio is going to be my new favorite. Just because she came from a dream. I was dreaming that Higashi had a sister and she was like my best friend. So, I woke up and promised a few people more information on her, which I followed through. Now, look where she is. She seems so sassy yet does care for others.
Oh, three more!! Omar, Jordan, and Nouveau. All share the same universe. The whole concept of the universe is much like Men In Black, but much darker and, of course, different. Omar and Jordan are trained soldiers, who takes down any unfriendly aliens, who decided to either destroy mankind or take over Earth or any of that sort. Nouveau is actually an alien. I love Omar because he is gloomy and is done with everything. Much different than how I normally do with my OCs. Jordan is a bit more fruity and eccentric. He's more out there. The fact that both are on the same team too, which makes it better.
Nouveau, on the other hand, can and will backstab you, regardless of what you do for her. If you no longer benefit her, you are a goner.
04. Do you have any advice for new roleplayers?
☆ I am not the greatest at advice. So, forgive me for this.
Have fun, set your boundaries, have fun, take rping as a hobby, did I mention have fun? Cause this is about having fun. To write with others, share your love for the characters, and creating memories with others. It is your blog and do what makes you comfortable. I know it's a bit hard, given some people can be trashy by pressuring you - as in the new rpers- to do something or get all worked up over you saying no or something along those lines. There are treasure to be found in the rpc and cherish those treasure. ♡

Phantom Thieves S/O has palace
Ren Amamiya
Breaks his heart to find you have a Palace
Ren figures it out because of how you may have been acting. That or curiously getting to him to put your name in the nav
Apologies in advance, he isn’t gonna be reaching out too often as he’ll be putting way too much focus into preparing to infiltrate 
During this time there will be no Mementos trips 
If he can help it, there won’t be a day they aren’t going in until your Palace is taken down
Though for him personally, he doesn’t care how tired he may be. He is gonna go in
Odds are its getting dealt with in about a day or really close to that
It does kind of scare him on the why you have a Palace
What gets to him is he feels like he should have seen the signs. Feels like that maybe he could have prevented it or at least curb the development of it
Exploring the place is the actual worst to him he isn’t having a very good time
Ren will be kind of more quiet while in the Palace. Looking more focused
But he may be a little more “impatient” as it were
Ren really, really does not like running into your shadow
Has fingers crossed they don’t have to fight your shadow, but if they do he is gonna hate it
Gonna act as more of a support unit if they do have to fight said shadow
Regardless if you know he is a phantom thief or not, he is gonna write the calling card. And he is gonna drop it off to you. {In your mailbox, locker, under your door. Etc. He isn't going to directly hand it to you, again regardless if you know of him being a phantom thief}
Ryuji Sakamoto
The thought never occurs to him, almost believing it be absolutely impossible for you to have one
He is not gonna be the one to put your name in, regardless if he notices you being off your A-game. Someone else is gonna be doing it
Ryuji can’t help but wonder why you have one. Again, he found it be impossible for you to ever have one. So he is pretty curious as to why it happened
Whatever the reason is for the development of the Palace, he swears he is gonna knock it out of the park
He definitely gets impatient during infiltrations and downtimes
Kind of becomes pretty prone to getting into trouble and pushing forward which results in his friends going “oi slow down”
Also becomes a little more impatient 
Unlike Ren, Ryuji becomes more talkative during the exploration. Asking things like if they are closer, if Mona can sense the treasure, where exactly they are, what is the next course of action- you get me
He seems to have an “easier” time powering through any exhaustion he is having and practically demands to be on the frontlines at all times
Makes sure all his hits, hits harder
He has a huge need to know what your treasure is, further adding to his impatience
Will write the calling card, with help from Makoto
If you know he is a phantom thief {yeah,,,,,,"if"}, he hand delivers the card to you
If they have to fight your shadow, Ryuji does okay. He doesn't do the absolute best and his attacks may actually miss a lot
Ann Takamaki
She immediately has a need to know if anyone is connected to you having a Palace
She just wants to talk
Ann is a lot like Ryuji where she did not enter your name in the Nav, not wanting to see an answer at all pop up. The only difference is she knew it could be a possibility. It was not impossible to her if you had one- just unlikely 
Ann can’t help but think about the what if of the thieves finding you in Mementos. Able to stop you there and prevent a Palace from developing further
She just finds herself thinking how she could have helped prevent this, if at all. Playing scenarios in her head of helping you before it got this bad
But this is no time to wonder, this is the time to help you
Inside the Palace, she doesn’t act far too differently. Outside of it though, she becomes kind of pushy to go into the Palace
When it comes to you, she finds herself trying to spend time with you- more than usual
She doesn't like the Mementos trips during the time where you still have a Palace. While it's nice to help other people- you need her help right now
No matter what your Shadow is like, she swears she is gonna take them down
She promises to herself that no matter how much it hurts her, she isn't going to hold back on your shadow. After all, it's not exactly easy to attack something that resembles/represents you
Really would rather not see the calling card at all
Yusuke Kitagawa
His first thoughts are the fears that its alike to Madarame’s
He isn’t sure he can handle that
As such, he is pretty nervous about the whole thing
Upon finding out though its nothing like that, if anything more like Futaba’s, brings him a wave of relief
If he were to be honest, being in your Palace frustrates him
Not only does it frustrate him, but it hurts him. Especially as they go further and further into their exploration
You don’t deserve to have to be dealing with this and the burden this thing probably brings to you
Kind of like Ryuji, he just thought nothing like this would come to pass for you. At least, so as long as he was there with you
During the Palace, he is more reserved
A lot like Ann, he is kind of pushy with going into the Palace. Not nearly as much as Ann, but it’d be a lie to say he doesn’t at all try to push Ren into going in sooner
Seeing your Shadow actually angers him, more than anything. Because this isn’t you, but a distorted version of the person he cares about
But Yusuke remains relatively calm
During downtimes while they aren’t in the Palace, he will be trying to seek you out and keep you company- regardless if you know what is going on
Insists to be the one to write the calling card, there are no exceptions 
I would argue he is one of the more aggressive thieves when it comes to fighting your shadow. He holds absolutely nothing back and is ready to fight
This isn’t you and he wants to get rid of your shadow as fast as possible
Makoto Niijima
She audibly gasps
However, she can’t bring herself to bring it up for a short bit. Its not that she doesn’t want to, but it becomes more real whenever it is she mentions it
She ends up bringing it up after seeing you again and again. Knowing the toll a Palace can take on a person, she knows she can’t just ignore it
Part of her wonders if she is any part of the cause. She hopes not, but it worries her that what if she plays a part in your Palace
She tries to remain composed both in and out of the Palace, trying not to show any signs of struggling with the idea of it
When around you, she gets kind of awkward 
She’ll promise to you that she will be there for you, through thick and thin. Which to you may come out of nowhere, but Makoto feels a need to say it
Its when Makoto sees your shadow that it really, really hits her about the situation
Still, she tries to remain composed but internally she is just having a marathon if emotions
Makoto helps in creating the calling card and will hand it off to you should you know of her being a phantom thief
If not she will put it in a normal envelope and give it to you, saying simply it was addressed to you and not much else
Maybe even sneak it into a book your reading or in your locker
Fighting your shadow at first will have her be a deer in the headlights, but her friends will snap her out of it
Which will help her find new strength when it comes to taking down your shadow
Futaba Sakura
Curiosity kills the cat, and it killed Futaba upon entering your name in the nav
She figured if anything popped up, it would be just be a Mementos trip. Not something as extreme as a Palace
Her first thought was how long have you had this?
Futaba first brings it up to Ren before anyone else
She knows this is more of a personal Palace to take care of, but they have to help you
She had one of these things and she’ll be damned if she lets this go ignored
Futaba admittedly would rather it just be her and Ren, again seeing as this is more personal. However, this is a little more extreme than a simple field trip to Mementos, so that isn’t a viable option
Her nature ends up very serious, focused and a little hurt. She won't have snarky comments to hand out. She won’t really have any upbeat cheer in her voice either
Futaba is going to be going overdrive to help the thieves get rid of the Palace faster
Will be more subtle in pushing the idea of going into the Palace during downtimes. She isn’t going to be aggressive in it, more so just making it clear she would really like to get back in asap
She wishes she could do more while they are exploring the place
During time outside the Palace she will be in constant contact with you. Asking if your okay, if anything happened, if you need to talk, etc
Seeing your shadow will kind of have her wince, but outside of that it only fuels her further to steal your treasure
She doesn’t do anything when it comes to the calling card. She just demands to see it before it sent to you
Haru Okumura
She’s ready to go guns blazing just say the word
Haru would probably be the most worried when it came to the whole Palace infiltration
After all, last time they did this with someone she cared about they kinda died
So yeah she is a little on edge on the that “what if” even though she knows it wasn’t their fault
Regardless of her unease though, she’ll put her best face forward and try to remain optimistic 
There may be times during the Palace where she lets her emotions get to her
At first she was worried of what your Palace was and why it even existed. You weren’t a bad person,  so why in the world do you have one of these?
Honestly, overall you could be forgiven thinking she wasn’t too anxious about the whole thing. Because on the outside she doesn’t seem too bothered, but trust me she is having a time internally
She vows to herself they are going to take care of this for you and she is not going to let anything bad happen to you from this infiltration. She swears it
Seeing your shadow doesn’t seem to do anything to her, if anything it prompts her to try and further figure out the why question
Haru requests if she can give you the card, especially if you know she is a thief. Regardless, she promises things will work out
She is merciless when it comes to fighting your shadow? Way more than what anyone was expecting from her?
