## Childhood

Naoto was born on September 21, 1996, about 17 minutes after her twin sister, Tsumugi, as a half-human meaning she is both human and ghoul, but doesn't have ghoul Kagune(Her family also doesn't have the accelerated aging crap cause it is removed in ShadowSphere). Naoto was born a female, but her parents decided to raise her as a male, in hopes of her becoming a detective. During her FTE, It is heavily implied that her grandmother(On her mom's side) physically, mentally, and verbally abused her. Her grandmother also dressed her as a girl inside the house, which might explain why Naoto knows how to apply make-up, owns a few dresses, etc. Naoto's parents homeschooled her until 4th Grade because they were afraid she may get bullied due to her eccentricities, and because they knew she was "fragile". Naoto was normally at home during times Tsumugi was at school. When Naoto was 4 years old she met Kanji Tatsumi, her current boyfriend, because her mother was best friends with Kanji's mom. When Naoto's mother was bringing her downstairs she accidentally dropped Naoto down the stairs, causing her to hit her head, Which is the cause of her eccentricities, Naoto was rushed to the hospital and stayed there until Tsumugi got home from school on their 5th Birthday, Where Naoto greater Tsumugi with "Hello, Idiot".

## Current(2011-2015)

During The Kidnapping and Serial Murder Case, Naoto was called back to Toronto after Yukiko Amagi reappeared, She started to investigate her friend, Kanji, who was the next victim of the kidnappings. Yu Narukami, Yosuke Hanamura, Chie Satonaka, and Yukiko see Naoto talking to Kanji. When Kanji is kidnapped you speak with Naoto and she'll give you the clues you need "Kanji despises being called weird" and "Kanji may be suffering some sort of complex". She then tells you that if you know how to fins Kanji please do, He means a lot to me(If you know how to save Kanji, please do. I don't want to lose him). You see Naoto again when you're on your way to Rise Kujikawa's house where she introduced herself "Are you here to see Rise, She isn't home..." You then ask her if she knows Kanji, she'll respond with "Yes I do, He is one of my close friends... I don't believe I've introduced myself I'm Naoto Shirogane a detective and a Special Class Ghoul Investigator" You can either ask her how she is a ghoul investigator or a detective, or you can say goodbye, which she'll respond to "I know we'll see each other soon goodbye" After you guys catch Mitsuo you're approached by Naoto who asks about your involvement of this case, Rise interrupts you before you can say anything and says a few rude things to Naoto, Naoto then tells you that you're treating the case like a game to which Rise responds with "We're the ones treating it like a game, You're like obsessed with this case, you're the one treating it like a game" Naoto responds to Rise with "You may be right, however, a few aspects of this case make me remain unconvinced" She'll then walk away. In September, during the school trip, You invite Naoto to Club Escapde with you, When Yukiko chooses Naoto to reveal something embarrassing, She lies that she doesn't know anything in particular and instead reveals a little bit about herself, She did leave out a few parts such as ones with her grandmother, hitting her head, and her gender. Once back from the trip Naoto is seen on TV Program and states that something doesn't feel right about the case. At night the next day, a silhouette appears on the Midnight Channel you can't figure out who it is and during the next few days until the 15th Naoto doesn't attend school, On the 15th, At Midnight, Naoto clearly is on The Midnight Channel, and Yosuke calls you asking what Naoto meant by a "Body Operation Procedure". Later in The TV, Rise says that she needs more clues and later on the 17th you come back with the three clues needed "Naoto has an unhealthy obsession with the case", "Naoto is a workaholic" and that "Naoto is treated like a child" With these clues Rise takes you to the Secret Laboratory which features Shadows referencing Naoto being treated like a child, Once you get to The 6th Basement Floor, You are greeted by Naoto's Shadow, who says that you aren't welcome here, implying that Naoto may not want your help. She then sends the Rampaging Machines after you. Once at The 9th Basement Floor you see Naoto and Her Shadow, Her Shadow then reveals the truth "You try so hard to be this cool powerful guy, but that would be rather difficult since you aren't even a guy", Which shocks the party(aside from Chie, who already knew). After defeating her Shadow, She says she's unsure about her feeling about being female and then tells you about her grandmother, which is a reason she avoids dressing as a girl in public. After Naoto recovers, she returns to school and says that she decided that she wont tell anyone but close friends and that she'll continue to dress as a guy
