Cypher's Profile #39 (Written by Shoichi Kusanagi, with commentary by the same. Cypher and the others are still in Mirror LINK VRAINS and Cam still isn't available, so this one is also written by me)
Online ID: Persephone (I looked at Cypher's past profiles and found that Persephone's hasn't been updated yet. I decided I would do that myself. Plus, considering what just happened…)
Real name: Katsumi Kurosaki (Interestingly enough, it seemed Cypher found out her identity but didn't tell Cassiel or Morningstar. Knowing him, the most likely answer is that he just didn't see a reason to tell them)
Other aliases: The Traveler of LINK VRAIS, the Queen of LINK VRAINS (The first title is a reference to Dante's Inferno, which her Deck is inspired by. The second is an acknowledgement of her skills and her personality)
Gender: Female (For some reason, Cypher added a note to her last profile. Something about "Flat"?)
Age: 18 (Although she's only a year older than Morningstar, she's taking classes at Den City College. It seems she skipped a few grades. That's not very common)
Place of Residence: Den City College (Evidently, she's living in the dorms instead of with her family. Probably some issues there, but that's none of our business)
Deck: Burning Abyss (This Deck is based on the fiends of the Fifth Circle of Hell from Dante's Inferno, along with the main character of the story and his guides)
Ace Monster(s): Malacoda, Netherlord of the Burning Abyss (A Ritual Monster, though Persephone is known to switch things up with the other summoning methods)
Skill: Legendary Awakening (By using monsters on her field, she can perform a Fusion, Link, Synchro, or Xyz Summon)
Occupation: Charisma Duelist (She's the 2nd ranked duelist behind Blue Angel, with Galahad right behind her)
Allegiance: Playmaker's team (Just like with Galahad and Lilith, she joined us to defeat Lightning. And now she has lost to Zahhak…)
Activity History: Appeared 2 years ago alongside Galahad and rose to 2nd place among the Charisma Duelists following Go Onizuka's retirement (While she's the second-ranked Charisma Duelist, she's evidently never challenged Go or Blue Angel for their spots. Perhaps she didn't think she could win)
Win-Loss Ratio: 90% (She's won every duel as a Charisma Duelist, but now she's lost to Playmaker and Zahhak)
Skill Level: B (She's highly skilled with a mastery of her Deck. But that same Deck is lacking in offensive power)
Notes
-Her Burning Abyss Deck places importance on swarming, card removal, and Special Summoning various monsters from the Extra Deck (The Burning Abyss lacks raw offensive power the way Decks like Morningstar's or Revolver's do, but the wide range of effects it grants tends to make up for that)
-Incorporates Ritual, Fusion, Link, Synchro, and Xyz Summoning into her Deck (But unlike Galahad, she seems to only have one monster for each summoning method. It does give her great variety, but at the same time it's very restricting)
-Galahad's girlfriend (It's always good to see young love bloom. Or whatever it is the kids call it these days)
-One of the few duelists suspected to be in possession of one of the Star Gods (Star Gods are a trio of incredibly powerful monsters that are also notoriously difficult to summon. The one she has is Sophia, the one that requires Fusion, Ritual, Synchro, and Xyz Monsters to be on the field all at once)
Shoichi's Addendum: As before, I still have no contact with Playmaker or the others, but I still have visuals on them. I saw Lightning defeat Spectre and Zahhak defeat Persephone. I'm working on reestablishing comms, but it will take time. That aside, I heard from Cam that he should be here soon. Though I still don't know what he's upset about.
