Mariko Ohmukai/Social Links

[show] 0. The Fool

[show] I. The Magician
Alistair Crawford: Mariko once sought information from him and drank his energy drink without asking. She then forgot all about him.

[show] II. The High Priestess

[show] III. The Empress

[show] IV. The Emperor

Nika Rumyantseva (Reverse): Rumyantseva sold Mariko drugs. Mariko stole some, too. Yisa Taimiev (Reverse): Taimiev rescued Mariko from a beating at the hands of some young Yakuza assholes. Mariko repaid Taimiev by force-feeding her Ecstasy and generally being a shit. Later, in a fit of petty vengeance over something, Mariko attempted to get Taimiev arrested by slipping a bag of stolen drugs into her coat, but had second thoughts and confessed the plan, having a minor breakdown in front of the Chechnyan woman.

[show] V. The Hierophant

[show] VI. The Lovers

Mikage Kohama (Reverse): A nurse through which Mariko used to score prescription drugs. Aware of Kohama's NWO connections, Mariko attempted to put her in touch with Masahiko Irie, which was successful in spite of the fact that Mariko was nearly murdered by Kyo Enda in the middle of it. Kohama was Mariko's caregiver during her recuperation, and Mariko -- in the midst of opioid withdrawal -- was perhaps more open about certain topics than she should have been.

[show] VII. The Chariot
Miyuu Noboriyama: Mariko's ex-girlfriend. Mariko rather passive-aggressively controlled Miyuu in a relationship built mostly on sex, with no actual romance. They broke up when Miyuu was led into being an accomplice in the murder of Mariko's parents. Since then, they've come back together here and there in a booty-call kind of way. Miyuu's NEW girlfriend doesn't know.

[show] VIII. Justice
Katsuya Suou: Detective Suou once busted Mariko, who is underage, buying wine in a store. Suou mistook her for a fifteen-year-old human-trafficked sex worker, and Mariko just kind of jerked him around (including showing him what passes for her breasts) before loudly accusing him of trying to kidnap her and running away in the ensuing chaos.

[show] IX. The Hermit

Izo Imaizumi: A stoic Yakuza who took the obviously troubled Mariko on as a kind of little-sister figure. Mariko quickly came to trust Imaizumi -- even enlisting him as a cover story when she killed her parents. Despite his decidedly mixed feelings toward her, none of which include romance, Mariko's Electra complex has flared up and put Imaizumi in its crosshairs. She wants him as both father and lover, and will do anything to make it happen, including getting off drugs. Rei Saionji (Reverse): Some guy in a suit who thinks Masahiko beat the shit out of Mariko. Mariko stole a bunch of his money once.

[show] X. Wheel of Fortune

[show] XI. Strength

Masahiko Irie: Mariko has meddled in Irie-san's affairs, through her involvement with Izo Imaizumi and Kyo Enda. Though he was ready to kick her to the justice system after she murdered her parents, Irie ended up taking Mariko on as a fixer-upper instead. To that end, he's begun training her how to use her Persona, and has installed her as manager of his Hamster Cafe in Lunarvale. Mariko does not entirely trust him, but she respects the brazenness with which he uses her.

[show] XII. The Hanged Man

[show] XIII. Death

[show] XIV. Temperance

[show] XV. The Devil

[show] XVI. The Tower

[show] XVII. The Star

[show] XVIII. The Moon

[show] XIX. The Sun

Kyo Enda (Reverse): A psychopathic serial killer who has displayed on-and-off interest in Mariko's own craziness. Enda forced Mariko to commit her first murder, and then served as logistical/moral support when she killed her parents. Because of a conflict between Enda and Izo Imaizumi, Mariko attempted to put Enda out of everyone's misery by trying to seduce him, then stab him in the back. Enda then nearly beat her to death. Despite this (or because of this), Mariko remains sexually attracted to him. Tatsuya Sudou (Reverse): Intriguing, and all the more for his boorish, ill-mannered tough-guy threats.
