* Magical girl

Unnamed male cousin

- Chapter 8

**Asuka Tatsuki** is a supporting character in Persona Record Series. She is an assistant Naginata instructor at the Ryushinkan Dojo and Magical Girl. As the only child of the Dojo Master, she trains hard every day. She is disciplined, but also absentminded, and that absentmindedness can get her into trouble.

## Background

Asuka is the daughter of a family that runs a swordsmanship dojo in Mizuna Ward, named "Ryuushinru". Around two years ago, Asuka's cousin intended to take the recruitment test to become a policeman. However, his father then ran for mayor. Asuka's cousin explained to her that the old mayor retired and his father was asked to run. Asuka's cousin muttered that he didn't think his father was a good man, but Asuka didn't hear. Instead, her cousin asked for help with the campaign. Asuka family would become part of her uncle's election staff.

Unfortunately, Asuka's uncle was caught giving out envelopes with cash in order to buy votes. Asuka's cousin claimed he should have seen it coming and apologized for getting Asuka involved. He also said that he won't be able to come to the dojo until things settled down. Asuka asked about the policeman recruitment test, but her cousin insists it will be fine. However, Asuka believed he wouldn't be able to become a policeman because society would judge him for his father's crimes. (It's hardly an unreasonable fear in Japan). It was then that Asuka came to Kyubey and made a wish: "Please let my cousin become a police officer".

## Appearance

Asuka is a young girl with dark blue hair tied with a low ponytail with purple eyes.

Asuka's Magical Girl costume is a samurai costume that consists of a Kusazuri and a Haidate over a white skirt, with her breasts wrapped in a white bandage. She wore a long white tunic with a dark blue cloth on her shoulders. She wore the long shoes of a samurai in a dark blue style. Her Soul gem is a blue magatama hanging in the middle of an obi belt.

## Personality

Asuka is a young girl who has a strong determination to become a Ryuushinru dojo licensed tutor, but she is quick to self-flagellate or try to commit ritualistic suicide for her perceived faults but Sasara Minagi always stops her.

## Abilities

Asuka's magic is "discipline". She will only be able to temporarily obedience what she said.

## Doppel Description

"The Doppel of assault. Its form is a war drum. The master of this emotion is eager to become stronger through her Doppel's power. It energizes itself with the beat of its drum and sends out orders to turn its allies into valiant warriors. However, it also shares its master's hastiness, so once the order is given, its allies are forced to perform an act of utter disgrace against their will. Its reputation with its allies is terrible as a result of this unreasonableness. It is difficult to handle as, like its master, it attempts to kill itself after committing a blunder."

## Relationship

### Sasara Minagi

Asuka's close friend. She and Sasara will work together to defeat the witch.

## Trivia

* The characters of her last name mean "dragon" (竜) and "castle" (城) respectively.
* The characters of her first name mean "tomorrow" (明日), and "incense" (香) respectively.
* She bares many similarities to Yachiyo Nanami. Both are Aqua Balance-Types with Defense Growth patterns and 3 Blast dics. Both use spears, have their soul gem located near their stomachs, feature yellow stars on their design, wear body armor and also have high platform sandals. Finally, both have blue hair with bangs cut right above their eyes, side bangs that reach down to their chest, and have it cut long in the back.
	+ The differences in these similarities are also interesting. As all of Yachiyo's Blast Discs are horizontal, while Asuka's are vertical. Yachiyo's body armor covers her chest and shoulders and is inspired by western breast plates. While Asuka's covers her stomach and legs, and is inspired by Samurai armor.
* The Doppel's name, Henrietta is feminine form of the male name Henry.
	+ Robert Henry Hendershot was an American Civil War drummer boy. He is sometimes praised and often criticized. Her Doppel could be a reference to him.
