History Characters / UminekoWhenTheyCry1998Humans

* HateSink: Despite her FreudianExcuse, Kasumi is perhaps the sole character in the story to showcase no redeemable qualities.

* GoroawaseNumber: One of her pen names translates to a number that is 18 to the 8th power, which in turn translates to her real name.

* {{Expy}}:
** Some EpilepticTrees have popped up that he's supposed to be a redoing of one of the [[TheMenInBlack Yamainu]] from ''VisualNovel/HigurashiWhenTheyCry'', named Hibari 13 (An odd one, as in the game, he was a character without a sprite), due to his name, which is made with the kanji for "Thirteen." And when Hibari 13's appearance was confirmed in Matsuribayashi-hen Manga, he's indeed identical to Amakusa.

* AmbiguouslyHuman: If you take a pro-fantasy perspective, she is the human form of the witch Featherine Augustus Aurora. If you take an anti-fantasy perspective, she's a normal mystery writer and Featherine is her AuthorAvatar in her forgery. However, she appears in the epilogue, which takes place in the 2030s, looking like she hasn't aged a day since 1998 and calling herself a witch. This may support the idea that she is really not human.

* PeekABangs: Part of his hair covers one eye.

* ArrangedMarriage: To make it worse, she was forced to break up with her fiancé and marry the man ''her sister'' was supposed to marry before running away.
* AxCrazy: She ''tries'' to hide it under a StepfordSmiler facade, but it quickly becomes very obvious.
* ArcVillain: She serves as Ange's primary antagonist in her story in EP 4.
* CainAndAbel: The Cain to Kyrie's Abel.

* JerkAss: An utterly unlikable, stuck up jerk who insults and belittles everyone around her and relishes the chance of torturing her own niece to death.

* MisplacedRetribution: Considering that Ange has no blame for how Kasumi's life turned out other than being Kyrie's daughter, Kasumi's own hatred for her niece ends up being this.

* RedemptionRejection: Ange takes pity on her and offers her a chance to accept the magic she is seeing and repent for her sins. Kasumi refuses, and is killed immediately after.

* BookDumb: She's quicker on the uptake than Battler regarding Beatrice's games, and earned Ikuko's respect for figuring out her identity and messages, yet her grades at St. Lucia aren't very impressive.

* HimeCut: Has this hairstyle to underline the implication that she comes from a high-class family.

Doctor Nanjo's son. A rather reclusive person who has tried to move on with his life after the Rokkenjima incident, but who has had trouble doing that thanks to a badgering news media that he believes has dragged his father's reputation through the dirt. He had a daughter, but she was [[IllGirl terminally ill]] and died at a young age. It's from him that Ange learns about the mysterious letters that were sent to surviving relatives of the Rokkenjima victims.

* AngstComa: After denying the Stakes of Purgatory.

* AmbitionIsEvil: [[spoiler:If one is to believe that Kasumi, her men and eventually Ange herself were killed by Amakusa (whom he himself hired him to protect the girl), it is safe to assume that gaining control of Eva's company and eliminating any family members of the Sumadera clan related to Ange who can stop him is enough to decipher the priorities of this man.]]

An old business partner of Hideyoshi's. After the Rokkenjima incident, he was one of the few people Eva still trusted (although the term "trust" is being generous). After she died, he was put in charge of her company until Ange could take the reigns on her own. Ange approaches him in order to learn more about Eva, whom he says he does not think is the Rokkenjima murderer. He hired Amakusa, who was indebted to him for undisclosed reasons, to serve as Ange's bodyguard and protect her from the Sumadera family.

* {{Bishounen}}: He's a long-haired pretty boy.

* {{Leitmotif}}: Like The Gale, [[LeftTheBackgroundMusicOn which he occasionnally plays in his car.]]

* IllGirl: She was this when she was younger, as she would fall ill quite often. This is the reason why she's the last surviving Ushiromiya, since she was too sick to go to the family conference with everyone else that year.

** To her aunt Rosa as they both lived a troubled childhood that got worse with the abuse that Eva inflicted on both of them that helped make them become DeathSeeker. Both, as Episode 4 demonstrates, are the people Maria cares about the most and for this very reason they are also the people who have the highest chance of hurting her (Ange denying the existence of Sakutaro and the magic, Rosa tearing apart her best friend). However, while Rosa became a disillusioned woman who never found the strength to react and also never received support from anyone to cope with the wounds of her past by becaming, consequently, an AbusiveMom, Ange on the contrary managed to find a accord with her own traumas, ending up leaving behind everything that hurt her by becoming a completely different person.

* {{Foil}}: Both to Eva and to Rosa in different ways.
** To Eva because both were the last living relatives of Ange and had become the heads of their respective family business, however both Eva and Kasumi, because of the anxiety and stress derived from their unhappy lives, acted like aunts abusers against their only niece establishing with her a relationship of mutual hatred that lasted until their death. Furthermore, they also shared a profound hatred for Kyrie. As for the differences which separate them there is to mention that Kasumi had poured her hatred for her sister on Ange since the birth of her older sister's daughter, while Eva initially tried several times to rebuild a new life with her niece trying to be a good mother for her (and not to mention, she has every reason to hate Kyrie as what [=EP7=] shows). It must also be considered that Eva craved her position as head of the Ushiromiya family, unlike Kasumi. It is no coincidence that in her final confrontation with her niece in Rokkenjima, Eva-Beatrice appears to Ange's eyes as an evil SpiritAdvisor for Kasumi.
** To Rosa, mainly because they both found themselves stuck in a context in which they have constantly accumulated so many of those pressures that left them emotionally unstable and their respective older sisters are, in part, indirectly responsible for this (Rosa has been abused by Eva and the rest of their family since her birth while Kyrie, marrying Rudolf, has discharged all her responsibilities as the firstborn of the Sumadera on Kasumi). Both were once in love and engaged but, because of the difficulties of their lives, they found themselves inconsolably alone (Maria's father has abandoned a pregnant Rosa due to some loans that have indebted them to while the family of Kasumi has forced her to break up with the man she love for ArrangedMarriage with another). Both ended up mistakenly downloading their pain and their anger against Maria and Ange respectively, and both of them, if they were not constrained by circumstances, [[IdleRich would willingly stop working to live if they could]]. What diversifies their is that Rosa, despite being an abusive parent, never hated Maria as Kasumi hated Ange. In addition Rosa, as both a [[HeirClubForMen woman and a fourth of four children, almost never would have become the head of the family and the sole heir of Kinzo's legacy]].

* TheGloriousWarOfSisterlyRivalry: She's so pissed with Kyrie and Ange and hated them to death for years because after her sister completely cut herself off from the business and obligations of the Sumadera family by marrying Rudolf, Kasumi, who until then had lived a comfortable life, found herself having to take over the reins as the new heir of her family.

* JerkAss: An utterly unlikable, stuck up jerk who insults and bellitles everyone around her and relishes the chance of torturing her own niece to death.

** To Eva because both were the last living relatives of Ange and had become the heads of their respective family business, however both Eva and Kasumi, because of the anxiety and stress derived from their unhappy lives, acted like aunts abusers against their only niece establishing with her a relationship of mutual hatred that lasted until their death. Furthermore, they also shared a profound hatred for Kyrie.

It must also be considered that Eva craved her position as head of the Ushiromiya family, unlike Kasumi. It is no coincidence that in her final confrontation with her niece in Rokkenjima, Eva-Beatrice appears to Ange's eyes as an evil SpiritMentor villain for Kasumi.
