Confidant/Sumire Yoshizawa

This article covers information about the Faith Confidant Sumire Yoshizawa, including skills and events in Persona 5 Royal.
The nature of Sumire's character results in a highly irregular Confidant. The protagonist automatically initiates Sumire's Confidant on May 30th, during their school's cleaning field trip. Sumire will go by "Kasumi Yoshizawa" until January 2nd. The Confidant can only move forward whenever Kasumi sends an IM to the protagonist's phone. Accepting any of her invitations will always grant the protagonist 5 HP points to his maximum total per hangout, regardless if the Confidant advances. The Confidant initially has a maximum of five ranks before reaching a premature stop. The deadline for the first five ranks is December 22nd, and if the Confidant is not Rank 5 before then, it will be locked for the rest of the game. It is recommended to hang out with her whenever possible, since she does not gain any party member benefits otherwise.
The Confidant fully unlocks on January 12th, rendering her remaining five ranks visible. This also requires Maruki's Confidant to be maxed, since doing so is required to expand the playable scenario past December 24th. Once this happens, her name will be displayed properly as "Sumire Yoshizawa," and her portrait will change. The Confidant portrait reverts back to its former state once her Confidant maxes out, although her name remains as "Sumire Yoshizawa." She can be consistently interacted with in the overworld in Kichijoji.
Completing Sumire's Confidant enables the fusion of Maria. She does not have a farewell gift for the protagonist on 3/19. Therefore, all of her Confidant abilities must be re-obtained during New Game Plus.

==Trivia==
*After reaching Rank 5 of Kasumi's Confidant, she can be met for a hangout as usual. However, the text on Kasumi's name is white (representing an incomplete Confidant) instead of yellow (which suggests a complete one).
*This Confidant is unique in that the typical speech given by Lavenza after maxing out a Confidant is altered significantly and voiced by Kasumi herself instead when her Confidant reaches Rank 5.
**Sumire also voices the speech given when her Faith Arcana returns to normal and her Confidant gains five more ranks after her true awakening in Maruki's Palace.
*Completing the first 5 Ranks of Kasumi's Confidant does not count as maxing it out. Therefore, it does not count towards the Thieves Den award "Phantom Thief Grand Union" unless the protagonist reaches the proper Rank 10.
*In Rank 7 to Rank 9, selecting anything with exactly the word "love" in it will result in Sumire blushing heavily in her portrait and her expression turning noticeably embarrassed. She does not use these portraits anywhere else.
*One of the glasses the protagonist tries on in Sumire's Rank 4 resembles Yu Narukami's pair in Persona 4.
