Miwa Saitou/Notable Social Links

Social Links, Fool Through Fortune

I - The Magician Shiki Ichimonji: "Regeneration" - A second year at Gekkoukan High. Miwa has ran into him and Itsuka several times. A rather foolish boy, but not without spirit and energy. Dating Itsuka, apparently. A member of SEES and a Persona-user who uses an Evoker. IV - The Emperor Kyo Enda: "Submission" - Miwa's boyfriend. Has a twin brother, Akatsuki. Miwa is head-over-heels in love with him. Has, as she's found, a bit of a temper at times. Despite her best efforts, it seems she just can't stay out of trouble like she promised and protect her friends at the same time. As a result, he's been upset with her. He was badly injured by Rena Kinukasa while attempting to rescue his brother. She's since promised him that she'll stay out of trouble. She is attending college with him. He saved her life during the concert hall incident. A Persona-user. Akatsuki Enda: "Nonaction" - Kyo's twin brother, a handsome and charming young man. It seems their parents separated years ago which is why they don't live together anymore. He and Kyo seem to be on poor terms with one another. A member of SEES. She's found he has access to the private boards of the Darkside of Sumaru, although this seems to be a recent development for him. Rena Kinukasa kidnapped him to get at his brother; he was rescued. Currently attending Sumaru University as well. Apparently dating Daiya, much to Miwa's dismay. A Persona-user, like his brother. V - The Hierophant Shinjiro Aragaki: "Discipline" - A member of SEES and a street-smart Persona-user who uses an Evoker. He is very familiar with the Dark Hour. Has been helping Miwa learn how to better control the power of Persona. She's often gone to him for advice, and learned the truth of bravery from him. When he and Naomi were kidnapped, she was among those who went to rescue him, being on the receiving end of a particularly violent burst of wrath from him while within the shared dream. After she went to forgive him for that, she learned Shinjiro's darkest secret, that he was in truth a murderer. She still is coming to grips with the fact that someone could have done such a thing and still remain a good person. VI - The Lovers Tohya Kidzuki: "Understanding" - A very close friend. Miwa has given her nickname Tohyan. Once a delinquent, Tohya and Miwa became friends after being stuck in and surviving Mikage-cho together. Formerly a member of KNOWS along with Naomi; now that she's left, Miwa fears for her safety. For that reason, Miwa asked Tohya to be her roommate and they're now living together. She's learned that the reason for Tohya's departure from KNOWS has left some lasting effects on her. Tohya knows Miwa's biggest secret. She and Miwa are attending college together. During the mission to rescue Naomi and Shinjiro, Miwa was misled by a vision of her mother within the shared dream, and when Tohya attempted to hold her back, she slapped her. Miwa has since apologized to Tohya, although she still feels some lingering guilt for what she'd done. Tohya is the one who quite possibly knows the most about Miwa's mother at this point. A Persona-user.

Social Links, Strength Through Judgement

XIV - Temperance Naomi Suzuno: "Harmony" - A close friend. Miwa has given her the nickname Naocchi. A third year at Seven Sisters and the heiress of a wealthy foreign company CEO. Miwa feels that Naomi is more like someone her own age; they've become fairly good friends. They've spoken to each other about their mothers. Formerly a member of KNOWS along with Naomi; she's since left, although now Miwa fears for her safety. She has a masked stalker, who seems to wish nothing more than Naomi's pain, emotional or otherwise. She, along with Shinjiro, was kidnapped; Miwa was among those who went to try and rescue her. As a result of some troubling things that were revealed in the aftermath, Naomi's come up with a wide-reaching plan. Miwa has expressed her wish to be involved with this, since there's nothing she wants to avoid more than to stand on the sidelines while her friends endanger their lives. She has told Naomi her biggest secret. A Persona-user. Dona Kimura: "Intolerance" - A third year at Seven Sisters. A known witch/occultist. Miwa dislikes her and finds her exceedingly creepy; she also fears that Dona somehow has guessed at her secret. She once cursed Tohya, although that's since been resolved. Daiya Kagami: "Discord" - A third year at Seven Sisters (for the second time!). At first, Miwa thought her an interesting person. However, a face-to-face meeting changed all that and she began to dislike her as intensely as only a teenage girl can. She doesn't like to be around Daiya, period. The revelation that she's dating Akatsuki was a most unwelcome one, as was the threat of an eventual double-date... which came to pass in the worst way possible. Perhaps it might be better to say Miwa loathes the other girl at this point. XV - The Devil Itsuka Mizuhara: "Change" - A second year at Gekkoukan High. Miwa has run into her and Shiki several times. A nice, helpful young girl. The brains of her little group. A member of SEES, and a Persona-user who uses an Evoker. She and Miwa have become friends. XVI - The Tower Himeru Namikawa: "Self-Bondage" - A second year at Gekkoukan High. Miwa has run into here now and then several times, among which her first Tartarus expedition with SEES, as well as in Mikage-cho. A mission into the depths of Tartarus on New Year's Eve, though, led to Himeru attacking Miwa's friends; Miwa found out the rational for it, along with what drives Himeru. She doesn't know how to help guide Himeru, and can only express her sympathy and hopes for a better future, for the time being. She is also, Miwa has found, a regular on the private boards on Darkside of Sumaru. A Persona-user. Thora Kobayashi: "Misjudgment" - A second year at Yasogami High. Apparently at one point some sort of delinquent. Works part-time at a forge. She was apprehensive about her until Thora made a present of a new weapon to Itsuka in Miwa's presence. A Persona-user. XVII - The Star Hideo Aratami: "Worry" - A second year at Kasugayama High. Miwa and he have crossed paths several times, for better or worse. Has become a very different person after being possessed by his Shadow, and was transferred to Kasugayama from Sevens as a result; they haven't crossed paths since. He's become the much of the reason behind Miwa's resolve to protect Sumaru as a member of the Shinsengumi; she doesn't want something like that to happen again if she can help it. XIX - The Sun Tatsuya Suou: "Trust" - A very stoic and tough guy; she can see why a lot of girls crush on him. He seems to have leadership qualities. Miwa got to know him a little better after running into him under several odd situations. She once believed he had a crush on her, but now suspects his affections may lie elsewhere. He has created a Sumaru-based group (the Shinsengumi) to help defend the city against its supernatural elements, and she has joined it. He's attending college with her. He was among many others who came along to rescue Naomi and Shinjiro... and in the process did something that Miwa was unhappy about. With the passage of time, she privately forgave him. She's grateful to him for dropping by to visit after the attack on her father, even if he let himself into her apartment to do so. A Persona-user.
