* Battle
* Talking
* Synced

## Intro

Irune 'Runi' Jarami is the Deuteragonist of Dyztopia. Being the little Sister of Edgar and Rosie Jarami. Before you meet her, everyone who speaks about her says she's dangerous and has a habit of hurting people. When the player meets her she appears kind if not slightly annoyed at Akira. It's not until Akira and Runi talk in her office that she shows her true colors.

## Appearance

Runi is a Arcdan Esper. She is very short, and wears a gray cardigan with a red button up shirt. She has long white hair, with two red bows parallel to each other. She has an issue with smiling sometimes and if she tries to, she'll often make a creepy face.

## Personality

Runi is initially a sweet and caring person. It's not too long after meeting her that you discover she is paranoid, and a bit of a control freak. She feels easily threatened by Akira because of their relationship with Rosie and because of how quickly Runi's friends grew to like Akira. Of course, it's also later revealed that her Sync, the Arch-Demon Gemini is feeding into her anxieties and has been doing so for a good chunk of her life. Despite her paranoia, Runi is deep down a very caring person, especially when it comes to her family and her villagers. She also has a brutal and violent side to her, usually reserved for people who threaten her village or her friends. Constantly threatening Zodiac Hunters like Barbados, and Fredek that she isn't afraid to kill them and make it look like an accident.

## Relationships

#### Akira Sakimoto

Runi's relationship to Akira is entirely based on the player choice, but from her perspective she does consider herself in the wrong for peering into Akira's mind to sate her paranoia and is the one to reach out to Akira to clear the air. If the player decides to spend time with her, she will even consider Akira an honorary villager which is extremely high praise in her mind. In her ending, although it is not romantic, it is clear that Akira means a lot to Runi.

If the player chooses to not forgive her, Runi takes it pretty hard. She won't be available for any Sync Events, and also berate or mock the player if they try to speak with her. Even lines from the main story are different, though they usually reach the same outcome.

#### Arch-Demon Gemini

Gemini relationship to Runi is abusive at best. Gemini wants Runi's powerful ESP in order to usurp Ophiuchus and Aquarius as the top Zodiacs, and possibly more. With Runi's ESP, and her trauma, Gemini can be become strong enough to even kill Zodiacs something that is considered a taboo by Demons, and thought impossible by mortals.

Any chance Gemini gets to gain power, she will take. When Runi is at her lowest, Gemini will offer to "take over" provided she wipes her own mind with her ESP first. Runi protests at first, but Gemini is very insistent, and even insults Runi. This can lead to one of two outcomes: Broken Gemini or The Worst Timeline.

Despite being filled with murderous intent, Gemini is very patient. She seemingly doesn't mind when the demons have to go away for five years, and in most timelines she is biding her time. It's only in Broken Gemini or The Worst Timeline that she takes a chance at her grand scheme, and it's only in Broken Gemini that Runi realizes that her relationship with Gemini is toxic, and it leads to Gemini's demise.

#### Edgar Jarami

Out of the cast of Dyztopia, Runi is closest to her Brother, Edgar Jarami. The two get along really well, and they care a lot about each other. When Edgar was given the decision to live with Rosie in Zeta, he chose to live in Pon Pon with Runi. During this time they both went through a phase where Edgar hadn't fully forgiven Runi for the killing of their mom, and because of Runi's ESP she could always tell with Edgar, so this made Edgar realized that any forgiveness he had to develop for Runi had to be purely genuine.

In the current time, they are best friends often calling each other frère and soeur. Edgar dying has the most unique outcomes out of any of the permadeath options, but consistently Runi is distraught if Edgar is picked to die, and will either grieve or fall into despair.
