Kasumi

Kasumi is portrayed throughout the DOA series as a more compassionate character than her younger half-sister, Ayane, and any of the other fighters. She is an honorable and kind spirit, and although a highly skilled kunoichi with deadly abilities, she does not enjoy or wish to fight. Many of the statements she makes in the game series before a round begins reflect her desire to avoid confrontation. Much of the reasoning behind this comes from the fact that in all of the tournaments (with the exception of the first), her motive is not to fight or win, but to meet Hayate. Her statements also reflect the fact that Kasumi is very merciful. She doesn't like to see people suffering at the hands of her skills and is inclined to show mercy even to her enemies. However, she is capable of killing, the most prominent example being the first DOA story where she defeats and kills Raidou. She is very family orientated and would want to return home in peace. There are instances where she has refused to show mercy, as seen when she willingly goes to look for Raidou (in the first game), fighting her clone (in the second game), and also when facing Helena after Helena would have shot her if not for Ryu Hayabusa who had taken the gun away from Helena (in the fourth game).
