Kasumi

Kasumi (カスミ) is a player of NewWorld Online who wields a katana. After a rough encounter during the 2nd event, she becomes friends with Maple and Sally.

She was joined Maple Tree shortly after it was founded. She ranked sixth in 1st event.

Appearance
She is an adult woman with black eyes. She properly maintains her long black hair and trims the tips. Her body is average and she has a nice sized chest that her kimono hides.

Unlike most game avatars who follow a western high fantasy theme, Kasumi's avatar has a more eastern appearance reminiscent of a samurai. Her weapon is a katana.

Personality
She has a calm demeanor and high communication skills while not being partial to either gender. Similar to Kuromu and Iz, she acts like an elder sibling or parent to the other guild members.

Her real life hobbies and tastes bleed into the game, choosing equipment that is more Japanese than western and enjoying green tea.

Kasumi is cautious, clever, and competitive, but once she opened up to Maple and Sally after going through a dungeon that forced them to work together, she revealed a sociable and friendly persona that she displays more frequently once she joins the Maple Tree guild.

Abilities
Kasumi has high HP and utilizes some form of self healing. She can also heal others.
