Character: Kasumi
Series: Suikoden II
Character Age: 19
Canon: Suikoden II, like all games in the series, centers around an independent army that gathers in hope of ending a corrupt war. In this case, its purpose is to aid the City-States of Jowston against their recent invasion by the Highland Kingdom.
Kasumi is a ninja with a skill for intelligence-gathering and a Shrike Rune that lets her pound enemies into the ground at double damage. As the hidden village of Rokkaku's vice-chancellor, she enlists her village's aid to said army after being appointed to lead her ally Toran's unit. Kasumi is a loyal and diplomatic leader, always willing to form alliances that benefit her village. Though she maintains an impressive balance of professional and personable (with an occasional slight temper when others go out of line), she isn't without social failings, in that she can be rather hit-or-miss when it comes to reading the emotions of others.
(App note: Hearing Crystals are items that make it possible for humans and animals to verbally communicate.)

Now that I've reached my destination, I must try to gather as much information as I can about the forces that have captured this village of Cable -- if that is the real situation, or even the village's real name. It's a shame that my only lead is this mysterious note and map, but I can't just ignore something as desperate-sounding as "Free Cable, Please!", despite how cryptic it is. Fortunately, this box-like object I found in the bushes appears to be a writing device with which the note was forged. I've used it to write a more detailed message back to the sender, outlining appropriate times and places where we could meet and --
Ouch! Excuse me; where did you come from? You should watch where you point those, you clumsy... deer? Yes, you do look like a deer, and your antlers just now sure felt like one. But what a strange color! I've never heard of deer with blue-green fur before. An endangered species? Well, now that you've discovered me, it wouldn't be wise to hide my intentions from you, and it seems you have something important to tell me. I don't have any Hearing Crystals, but there must be some way... Ah, you want to use the writing device as well? Please, go ahead.
... I'm sorry, I'm afraid I don't understand what you mean by "tl;dr." Is that code, or -- oh, I see; I should have realized how hard it must be to get the right letters with hooves like that. Why don't you try using your antlers instead? Though that could take a rather long time... But don't worry yet. I believe that together, perhaps by using this device in another way, we can find a more efficient method of communication.
No, summoning an image of a rodent with text questioning my intelligence is... not what I had in mind. And I don't like the way you're looking at me now. Listen, if you're thinking of trying anything funny, just remember I possess a sharper weapon than you, not to mention my Shrike Rune. Don't make me have to use either. Three Shrikes, and you're out!
