Isako Toriumi

Personality:   Design Toriumi has short, light brown hair that reaches to her neck, and dark gray eyes; she wears a white turtleneck-like collar shirt, a brown jacket, brown pants and black high heel shoes. Toriumi's in-game avatar is a female character that wears gray in the English version and red in the Japanese version. Personality On the surface, Toriumi appears to be a laid-back teacher who complains about her work at the start of a class and is first seen complaining about her having to teach her class about an author she doesn't like and derailing the subject. When privately speaking to the protagonist during her Social Link as "Maya/Y-Ko," however, she becomes a pathological complainer who outright neglects grammar and punctuation, makes many typos, uses expressions such as "lmaonade," "roflcopter," "1337" (in the original Japanese version, she instead mixes Hiragana and Katakana in her online dialogue) and uses many emoticons. "Maya/Y-Ko" speaks in an extremely informal and vulgar fashion unlike the real-life teacher, and constantly complains and badmouths people implied to be other Gekkoukan High School faculty members. None of the other teachers are aware of her badmouthing them behind their backs. She also has a crush on the protagonist but refrained from reciprocating because of social taboos. Toriumi drinks. According to the Rank 4 Hermit Social Link, she got drunk and passed out at Paulownia Mall where an "older man" heavily implied to be President Tanaka called her a "drunk slut," and Toriumi told him to "shut the fuck up" in return. During a class session near the end of the game, she is also sorry for her class because they aren't of age to drink.[1] In the same confidant event, she also expresses that she doesn't want to be married, but her mom keeps trying to force the issue. The English dialogue has her telling the protagonist that "it is sexist to think that women can only be happy when they're tied down," but in the original Japanese script, she only tells the protagonist that the idea that women can only gain happiness by marriage is an "old concept" Ms. Toriumi is the homeroom teacher of Class 2-F in Persona 3. She is a language teacher for the junior class at Gekkoukan High School. The protagonist can form a Social Link (Hermit) with her after he receives a copy of an online game from Junpei Iori. Unlike other Social Links, Ms. Toriumi is only available on Sundays and holidays and only goes by the name "Maya"/"Y-Ko." In addition, choosing to play the MMORPG uses up the entire day and not just the daylight portion. Maya/Y-Ko, convinces the protagonist to use the handle Tatsuya/N-Jima. The protagonist could also say "tell me if you find JOKER." "Maya" and "Tatsuya" talk through Toriumi's grievances at work, and she directly reveals that she has a crush on the protagonist, not knowing that "Tatsuya" is the same person. In her real life, she is reluctant to follow up on it due to social taboos. Their online relationship starts off harmless, and the unknown player genuinely enjoys chatting with Tatsuya. Eventually, she begins to confide in him about her personal life, and the protagonist discovers she's an adult and a composition teacher. At first, she would complain about the difficulties of her life: her parents want her to get married, while Toriumi herself believes that it's wrong to think a woman can only be happy while being tied down/women can be happy without being married. Eventually, her problems delve into her grievances at work, such as with a person called Mr. E. Her ranting would degenerate for the worst and she'd become more vulgar, badmouthing another called Ms. K, laughing at her for being a "skanky hoe" who uses breast pads. When Innocent Sin Online administration announces that the servers will all be shut down, she plans on sending her and the protagonist's chat logs to them in order to prevent them from shutting down the game. However, she decides not to as when reading over them, she didn't like seeing herself complain and apologizes to the protagonist before telling him she's quitting the game. Before she logs off, she leaves a message in the sand for him saying "i luv u" where the protagonist takes a screenshot of and makes it his background picture, unlocking the fusion of Arahabaki During the epilogue of the Social Link, the protagonist can go into the school's faculty office to find Ms. Toriumi. After her quitting her MMO, she realizes she's been studying more into how she wishes to teach her classes, stating she didn't want to live just in the present. The protagonist drops his cell phone, which now has the background picture of Maya's message in the sand to Tatsuya. Ms. Toriumi picks it up and sees the picture, shocked and embarrassed to realize he is Tatsuya and cries, revealing that the online gamer the protagonist met in the Social Link is actually Toriumi herself. She (jokingly) claims she will quit the school and never come back, and that she was better off dead, losing her calm personality she usually exhibits in real-life. She then seemingly chills out and thank the protagonist for helping her turn her life around, finding it within herself to accept the protagonist as the person she loves, and tries to ask him to dinner, but storms out of the office after saying "Oh, to hell with this (her online game record being exposed)!", flustered and embarrassed.
