What's Naoto up to? VRDR Edition
Oct. 10th, 2023 10:42 amThings to know about Naoto:
Backstory: 1. Akira is Naoto's cousin. Her grandfather (Kiyoshi Shirogane) had four children (I am bad at naming Japanese people, so bear with me. No teddie puns intended.)
1. Doctor Shirogane. Kiyoshi's oldest, is a well known doctor in Tokyo. He's likely worked with/knows of Takemi.
2. Yakuza Aunt. Kiyoshi's second child, a daughter, fell in love with a well-known member of a Yakuza family, and married him. Kiyoshi still loves her dearly. She's a bit of a Robin Hood figure (Also, no puns intended), only going for white-collar crime, and minor annoyances, but never outright murder. Most people know her Yakuza alias, but very very few people know her connection to the Shirogane Family.
3. Katsu Shirogane. Naoto's father, and a detective. Along with Naoto's mother Akemi, died in an investigation in Port Island. (Suspicious? Definitely.)
4. Akira's mom (the black sheep of the family). Has mostly renouced her Shirogane heritage... except for when she thinks she might be able to get some money out of her father. Tried to marry for money, but got conned.
Naoto's grandfather was (technically still is, but he's ooooold) a Persona user. He and his brother (along with their own motley crew of people) investigated some deaths in Inaba in the 40s, centered around a theater that burned down. (Surprisingly, that spot is now where Junes stands....) The case wasn't totally solved, because just after they found the human culprit, Kiyoshi's brother took a case in Hiroshima... on the Very Wrong Day.
Naoto did finish Yasogami, (with some attendance problems in her last year because she kept getting pulled to Tokyo for cases.) and started college, but didn't finish. She works as an independant detective in Tokyo, mostly on the defense side of cases. She's the one you call in when you're innocent, but have no idea how to prove it. In the past year, she herself was a target of what came to be known as the Origami Killer, a serial killer who put an origami crane on their victims... which tied to their next victim. She caught the killer, and was highly praised.
In the past few months, she's taken notice of the Phantom theives, and is almost certain that they're a force for good. The mental shutdowns/psychotic breaks, however, that's not so good, and she will wax grumpy and fierce to anyone who tries to connect them. This includes you, her version of Akechi!
