Profile

A first year Student of Gekkoukan high, Himeru Namikawa is on all accounts a simple girl with simple tastes, thriving in the social game of High School as someone who will do everything in her power to blend in. Her attitude at school generally gravitating toward cold facts and a genuine lack of human warmth, while outside school she generally allows a little greater display of emotion. A Persona-User, she tends to vary between two extremes of use: Complete and absolute control or excessive and unrelentless brutality.

Persona

Hannya is a jealous masked demon meant to represent the malice or sublime emotions of human beings. An ogre-sized woman, her limbs are slender yet freakishly long as she stands well over 6 feet five inches even when bent forward a little, her limbs however are perfectly concealed beneath the robes and garb of a typical japanese miko priestess. The holes in the face show nothing beneath, only darkness, although on occasion two crimson lights can be seen in the eyeslots. Her powers range over Darkness and physical attacks.

It is unclear what sort of abilities Himeru gains passively from Hannya.

Dark Secret

Play with her and find out someday.

Friends and Relations

Note that all of these are from character perspective and some friendships may well be 1-sided. Things are also represented as on a chessboard. Some people do not appear as they simply did not leave enough of an impression yet.

Shiki Ichimonji - B1 - Shining Knight - A classmate, Shiki is disarming with his cheerfulness and just how outgoing and energetic he is, enough that he managed to slip through Himeru's barriers. He is seen as someone very genuine about how he feels, or the greatest actor ever if he isn't. His honesty and kindness has made him someone worth knowing and calling a friend.
Itsuka Mizuhara - C1 - Cheerful Mage - Another classmate, Itsuka struck as the foil of Shiki's exuberant attitude, the dose of reality and down-to-earth attitude. Yet she has a certain air about her, a strength of will and the ability to stand against Himeru in debate that earned her respect and some degree of caring that Hime isn't entirely comfortable about.
Shinjiro Aragaki - G1 - Grey Knight - On the opposite end of the board, Shinjiro Aragaki is a man who represents experience in many fields, yet a gruff sense of wisdom. Lacking in tact, he was found to be refreshingly direct, blunt and honest about matters that people tiptoe about. His attitude is not monochromatic either, making him even more interesting to Himeru. He also has a strength that she wishes to overcome, seeing his ability as a challenge and his past as a warning of how she could stray. Hime cares for his wellbeing, but has no illusions about the reverse and believes he probably sees her as an acquaintance or annoyance, or maybe worse.
Ran Itoh - F1 - Kind Bishop - An indirect acquaintance, Ran Itoh was met due to the Misadventures of Shinjiro Aragaki. While they did not have a chance to chat there and then, they later met at the Lucky 7 where Ran's unexpected kindness and cheerful attitude made Himeru smile a little. While the two don't really know each other much, she is considered as someone nice and pleasant to be around.
Shiori Hibiki - D2 - Gentle Soul - A girl encounted first in Inaba' strip mall, Himeru's relation toward her WANTS to be good and friendly, but is driven by guilt as Hime seems to be unpleasantly skilled at causing distress or indirect harm even when it wasn't her intention. Himeru is thus driven with the desire to make it right someday, even if Shiori may not feel it to be such a big deal.
Thora Kobayashi - H1 - Bloodied Tower - An acquaintance due to the Misadventures of Shinjiro Aragaki, Thora has so far been an intriguing person. Her admissions of past acts and how open she was about it hinted at a degree of courage Himeru found a little awe-inspiring, even if the acts themselves are not. Her strength and how she stood tall and strong (not to mention she's pretty big for a girl) are intimidating, but at the same time only serve to increase how she seems interesting.
Blaise Cameron - B2 - Reckless Boy - 2nd year student of Gekkoukan, met first as his cloaked alter-ego. While originally deemed to be only useful as an information gathering tool and someone she enjoyed messing with, things took a turn for the strange as time went on. While not disliking the boy, she finds his lack of tactical cool and foolish recklessness annoying, and wonders why he so pursues a path Himeru considers as far too costly.
Sayaka Takuma - A1 - Silent Blade - 2nd year student of Gekkoukan, met outside of school before the 2nd semester started. Viewed as a caring Sempai, she is almost what Himeru would call a 'normal' person, even for a Persona-user. Her dedication to her family art of the Sword is viewed as commendable, even if it's apparent Takuma-sempai disliked some of the things related to her family traditions.
Takahisa Kandori - E8 - Mephistopheles - Known as CEO of SEBEC, and generally a man shrouded in mystery shrouded in secrecy shrouded in a surprisingly good taste in clothing, Himeru's encounters with Kandori had not been pleasant, often ending with wounds of the physical or mental sort. Yet the man she finds facinating, as she can't read him like most people. Sometimes his intentions are clear, sometimes it takes her days to figure out what he just did, but she finds him interestingly smart. In nicer circumstances she would love to cross wits with him, rather than cross swords.
Aigis - E2 - Metal Heart - A robot with a soul. It was the only way to describe the existence she knew as Aigis. She held her promise of information when Himeru would have been unsurprised she would not, she spoke honestly of matters what most would sooner keep secret. She also struck as more human than some people in the world.
Kanon Itoh - Not on board - Elder Sister of Ran Itoh, artist, free spirit and surprisingly informal adult. A person she talked with only briefly, but was quite interesting and passionate about what she liked.
Arisa Shiratori - Not on board - A kind girl met at Kandori's ball, and then inadvertantly harmed due to circumstances. Guilt led to apology, and eventually they met again on nicer grounds. Someone Himeru likes a little even if she barely knows Arisa. She is her first friend from Lunarvale.
Shion Katsuragi - Not on board - A cop met in Lunarvale at an accident site. Seemed like a nice person, clearly not just a normal officer.
