Nanaka Tokiwa

* School Uniform
* Magical girl

**Nanaka Tokiwa** is a supporting character in Persona Record Series. She is a Magical Girl from the head family of Kashin-ryu, a school of flower arranging started in the Edo period (1603-1868). Beautiful and impeccable, she appears to be innocent, but she is actually a wise strategist, able to read any situation she is put into with ease.

## Background

Nanaka is The daughter of a prestigious family known for their famous “Kashinryuu” flower arranging school that dates back to the Edo period.

Her father was the head of the school until he fell ill and allowed his top students to take over in his place. However, they turned their backs on tradition and shut Nanaka’s family out. On his deathbed, her father made Nanaka promise to take back their school. While staying with relatives, Kyubey approached her and she wished for the power to take revenge with her own hands. This gave her the power to “know who her enemy is”, allowing her to realize that it was the Locust Witch behind it all.

She then teamed up with other magical girls whose homes had been destroyed or affected by this witch in order to bring her down. While on a hunt for a nearby witch, she comes across a soul gem and further away a seemingly dead magical girl. She places the soul gem on the girl’s body as it seemed the proper thing to do when the girl suddenly pops back to life. It was then she learned the secret that soul gems are a girl’s actual soul, and her powers warned her that Kyubey was her enemy.

## Appearance

Nanaka was a magenta-haired young girl who had a small braid and tied both sides behind her head, and her eyes were the same color as her hair. In ordinary form, she wears glasses.

### Magical girl

Nanaka's Magical Girl Outfit is a light purple sleeveless collar, decorated with a white lace fabric in the middle of the bust and a white ribbon under the collar under a magenta open-shoulder kimono robe with a white lace border below. At her waist was a brown corset. She wore a grape purple skirt with a white floral pattern around the skirt with white lace border. She wore long black stockings and black shoes. Her soul gem is hot pink oval attached to a flower-shaped hair ornament. In the form of a magical girl, Nanaka does not wear glasses.

## Personality

Nanaka Tokiwa is calm and clear-headed, but underneath her innocent façade she’s always planning and scheming.

## Abilities

Nanaka's wish granted magic is the ability to "know who her enemy is". She claims this was because she wasn't quite certain who she needed to take revenge against. Although compared to a radar, this power does not seem to give location, merely identity. This power gave her the knowledge that the source of her family's troubles was a witch. It also showed that Kyubey was an enemy as well, though this knowledge appears to have come after she learned about how Soul Gems are actually souls.

Nanaka's wish also allows her to sense problems or people related either to witches or her vengeance towards them.

## Doppel Description

*"The Doppel of two sides. Its form is a shop curtain. This Doppel reflects two sides of the same coin. The master of this emotion feels guilty in some way about the lack of floral elements in her Doppel. Its frontside primarily supports its allies, while it's back side's offensive powers is high. It is skilled at parrying enemy attacks, and it guides any souls who pass through its curtains to the underworld."*

## Relationship

### Akira Shinobu, Meiyui Chun and Kako Natsume

The three of them were her teammates. They will continue to do the job of hunting the witches together.

## Trivia

* Her magical form seems to be based off Japanese culture, as it resembles a modified kimono.
* Maura is a female given name, but it may be a transcription of Japanese word 真裏, literaly means "completely opposite side".
* The characters of her last name mean "permanent" (常盤).
