Nika Rumyantseva/Notable Social Links

Notable Social Links
I - THE MAGICIAN Akio Touma: Wants him dead because he kissed her. III - THE EMPRESS Susumu Kamiya: Izverg. Nika's "handler" and the adoptive son of Kikuchi-kai's administrator Hideo Kuromiya, she finds the young man's apparent ignorance endearing. One of the few people she genuinely has any sort of tolerance for. Delights in attempting to make him uncomfortable. Has a feeling there's more beneath his skin than he lets people believe. IV - THE EMPEROR Yisa Taimiev: Lapushka. A young woman that, for some inexplicable reason to Nika, she loathes with every fiber of her being. Her very existence grates on her and makes her want to destroy everything that Yisa holds dear in her life. Is also convinced (thanks to Mariko) that she is some kind of lesbian rapist. V - THE HIEROPHANT Hideo Kuromiya: An administrator in the Kikuchi-kai in Sumaru City and an old family friend of Daniil Rumyantsev--and one of the very few people Nika respects. He has aided her and her father through their worst times, and has since provided her and her wounded father with a comfortable living--for a price, of course. Still, he is very loyal to the Kikuchi-kai and an honorable figure within; many shatei and kyodai of the Kikuchi-kai look up to him. He also gave Nika her "interesting" weapon upon her official initiation into the family. she kind of has a crush on him, too XI - STRENGTH Masahiko Irie: Wants him dead for the sake of the Kikuchi-kai--and Hideo. XIII - DEATH Mariko Ohmukai: Sharomyzhnik. A druggie that stumbled her way to Nika's apartment looking for a fix. Learned interesting things from her about Yisa's recent activities and associates. Figures she has her uses... XIX - THE SUN Tatsuya Sudou: Ciklop. The one-eyed owner of Zodiac and the current oyabun of Sumiyoshi-kai. As the Kikuchi-kai are a smaller branch based off the Sumiyoshi-kai, she is essentially working for him as well. Their meeting was brief; however, his willingness to let her 'try and kill Masahiko' was enough to put him on her good side. XX - JUDGMENT Daniil Rumyantsev: The light of Nika's life, her entire existence, despite the horrible things said and done by him to her, she utterly loves and adores him. A former Spetznas soldier who was dishonorably discharged after 'a thing happened' in Chechnya, he spent most of his life lamenting himself, his lot in life and everything in between. A chance encounter with an old friend and Yakuza named Hideo Kuromiya led him to a life of living as a merc for hire--until he was assaulted and crippled by a rival family bent on revenge. Now a shell of his former self (once again), he borders on the brink of self-destruction and madness, barely kept in line by his ever-loving and doting daughter, who only wants to see him return to the strong man he was once before.
