Bright and bubbly, Arisu doesn't seem to mind the fact that she and her family somehow managed to shift from Earth to Rhy'Din overnight. Indeed, Obaasan seems to be adamant that this is where they are meant to be, and no one in their right mind argues with Obaasan.
Not all that respectful of the traditions that her parents and grandparents follow, Arisu chose to abandon her studies when presented with the opportunity, and instead found herself a job working the bar at the Shanachie Theater four nights out of the six the theater is open. But then, a job is a job, and anything that keeps the rent coming in is worth the arguments with her parents.
However, those arguments got a little too much too quickly. Rather than give her Obaasan anymore ammunition against her, Arisu found herself a more acceptable job working the lunch and afternoon shifts as a waitress upstairs in Moshi-Moshi. Obaasan almost cried with happiness when she saw her only grand-daughter in the traditional kimono prepared for uniform there.
The youngest in a family known for its strong connection to the Kakure-Kai Yakuza in Rhy'Din, Arisu is aware that her father and brothers could be considered criminal, but she keeps her nose out of it as much as possible. It's bad enough that the other gangs in the area know she's a Matsumara without making herself a bigger target. Thanks to this danger, however, her father took the opportunity to have her assigned a bodyguard in Nishimura Hayato, an action which has given both men more headaches than smiles in the past few weeks.
