Why do you think they can settle in a horror setting if they’re under 18?: Kasumi's been thrown in and out of the human consciousness--a collective known as the "Metaverse"--for a few weeks now, fighting monsters and her own personal demons (figuratively speaking). She's also been dealing with the Big Bad warping reality to suit his own ideas of what it means to make everyone happy, etc. so she's sort of used to reality not being, well, reality.

So while not used to strictly horror, she has been dealing with A Lot and isn't going to break down at the first major scary thing to happen. She'll pick herself right back up and roundhouse kick it in the face.

Canon Abilities/Powers: A Persona-user and member of the phantom thieves, Sumi can use a rifle and a rapier as her weapons of choice, able to summon them both when she calls upon Cendrillon. Upon doing so will also change her clothes to her Phantom Thief outfit + mask. She can also summon a persona--Cendrillon--that can use special abilities. Sumi's speciality lies in 'bless' attacks and physical attacks.

Sumire is also a dedicated and accomplished gymnast, often in the top 3 during competitions.

What is their greatest negative emotion towards an object, situation, or person in their past?: Extreme jealousy towards her older twin sister, Kasumi. She often saw Kasumi as being perfect and effortlessly able to climb up and up the ranks, whom everyone loved and adored. While Sumire loved her sister, she felt like she was dragging behind, constantly comparing them. Instead of focusing on her own strengths, she focused only on her weaknesses and where she lacked, where Kasumi excelled.

How strongly do they feel about the negative subject matter, on the scale of one to ten?: like 10000. It's her jealousy of Kasumi that led to Sumire's crippling depression and low sense of self-worth, that ultimate led to Kasumi's death.

What is their greatest virtue?: Her determination. Once Sumire's made up her mind about something, she'll stick to it until the end. Despite her depression, despite everything, she firmly wants to see the goal her and her sister had be reached, and she won't let anything stand in her way. Even as she's acting as Kasumi, it's still her true feelings when she proclaims that, "I don't care what anyone says about me... I will NOT tolerate anyone speaking ill of our dream!"

How aware are they of their virtue, on a scale from one to ten?: Like a 3. She knows she doesn't want to ever give up on the dream she and her sister shared, but she's not aware of her determination and strength to overcome things outside of that.

Special notes Kasumi will be going by either her codename "Violet," "Sumi," or just introducing herself as "Kasumi" so as not to accidentally spoil anyone, and as she's still struggling with her identity at this point. I don't know if the Powers That Be within the game, ICly, would ever refer to her by name but I'm okay with them/you using any name.

With that in mind though i'll be referring to her as "Kasumi" on all the taken lists and such, again to avoid spoilers.
