Tao Isonokami

Tao Isonokami is a hero from Shin Megami Tensei V.
She was voiced by in Japanese and Jeannie Tirado in English.
==Biography==
She is the best friend of Sahori, and wishes to help her with her bullying problem. However, Sahori keeps pushing her away and tries to deal with the problem herself, which simply does not work. Additionally, she also considers the player (the Nahobino) to be her friend as well.
Unfortunately, the darkness in Sahori's heart attracts demons to her school (as she allowed her negative emotions to boil inside her), including the diabolical Lahmu, who is their presumed leader. Working together, they destroy the barrier separating the two worlds.
After Lahmu gives Sahori some of his power, she attempts to talk Sahori out of her current course of action (which was to murder the two girls who were bullying her), but while Sahori admits she always considered Tao to be a friend (and at some level regrets pushing her away), she decides to listen to Lahmu and murder them anyway.
Tao later warns Sahori not to trust Lahmu (who wishes to combine Sahori with himself, on the basis that he could gain more power), but she doesn't listen. Unfortunately, her fears turn out to be confirmed. Lahmu was attempting to corrupt Sahori into being exactly like himself. (Truth be told, Lahmu bore many similarities to an internet predator.) And while he sympathized with her at one point, he stopped considering her to be her own person once he combined with her.
Fortunately, it turns out she could save Sahori from both Lahmu and herself, though Lahmu temporarily manages to kill her. She is able to bring Sahori back to her senses, and sacrifices her own life to restore the Nahobino to life.
==Personality==
While the Nahobino does most of the fighting, Tao is pacifistic in nature. She tries to persuade Sahori from heading down her dark path, though she is not able to reach out to her at first.
She is deeply compassionate, and will heal the player regularly while working with them.
==Trivia==
*It's hinted, and ultimately confirmed, that she is an angel in the form of a human. And Sahori literally makes an angel out of her.
*Tao likely represents the angel on Sahori's shoulder, as she tries to persuade Sahori to do the right thing. She ultimately lives on when Sahori herself does not, however. Likewise, Lahmu is the devil on her shoulder. (It's heavily implied that he is made of the darkness in Sahori's heart.)
She is literally referred to her as a saint.
