- 0 - THE FOOL
- Tohru Adachi: A bumbling detective she met in Junes in Inaba laughing at a badly-written book about the TV Killer. Openly confessed to her fascination with the case--and the killer. Conveniently received an e-mail from the TV Killer a few days later from the killer praising her macabre interests. This was well-received by Benihime.
- I - THE MAGICIAN
- Yuzuriha Hatsumi: In a chance (?) meeting on the Samegawa flood plain in Inaba, Benihime met the young Ninja girl in passing. However, unlike past encounters with the denizens of Inaba, she decided that she'd very much like to become fast friends with Yuzuriha on impulse. Something about her nature piques Benihime's interests. They will be the best friends ever.
- X - THE WHEEL OF FORTUNE
- Akira Ookuma: One of Omoikane's "lackeys," she'd met Akira once when trying to get in touch with Daisuke. She pities him; after all, working for a man like Daisuke must be a real downer on the self-confidence. He amuses her, however--he is certainly not what he appears to be, and that alone interests her because it reminds her very much of herself. There's certainly something there beneath the skin, and she certainly wishes to discover it and exploit it for her own amusement.
- XVI - TEMPERANCE
- Miwa Saitou: A young college student who is of seemingly polite and patient demeanor, Benihime happened upon her by chance in Sumaru. A former student of Sevens, her interest in poor Miwa stemmed only from the fact that she was the now-former girlfriend of Kyo Enda. Having discovered in Kyo's Dungeon that she'd used "magic" to win Kyo over (even if it did (OR DID IT) not work) she believes that Miwa is a monster. It truly disappoints Benihime that she just cannot seem to connect with her and truly convince Miwa that her friends are terrible people and she should not be friends with them. She is also dimly jealous that she has the "heart" of Kyo Enda.
- XV - THE DEVIL
- Daisuke Itami: A man as bizarre as Benihime, albeit more openly so about it, she finds that particular trait annoying and believes him to be utterly immature. Still, he's got enough of a reputation about him that she'd willingly accepted his "gracious" offer to become a part of Kagutsuchi. Whatever will come of it and the relationship between herself and the owner of Omoikane remains to be seen, however.
- XVI - THE TOWER
- Mai Namikawa: While her first encounter with Mai was in Kyo's Dungeon, she didn't actually get to know the girl until Mai tracked her down in Sumaru. Honest and painfully blunt, Benihime's opinion of the way too knowledgeable young woman is surprisingly neutral. It was, in fact, her honest nature that drew some shred of respect out of Benihime, even if she tried to "threaten" her.
- XIX - THE SUN
- Kyo Enda: The Shadow-possessed sociopath to whom she is completely devoted to. Benihime is fascinated by his 'liberation' from the shackles of his humanity into becoming a "monster" and accepting the darkness within himself rather than deny or hide it. She is gladly willing to let him use her for his own ends, including using her own powers against his enemies and those who would hurt or try to kill him. She's even been given a list to play with.
