Canon:
Minato Arisato || Persona 3 || Rank 7
At this point in canon, Minato's Fool arcana rank is up to 7, which is what Mitsuru has with Minato himself since her personal social link hasn't been made available yet. Either way, Mitsuru trusts Minato completely as the member of SEES who leads their missions into Tartarus, and she thinks he is both very capable and admirable. The Minato on the community isn't the one from her timeline, but she believes he's just as trustworthy as the Minato in hers.
Yukari Takeba || Persona 3 || Rank 6
Another member of SEES Mitsuru trusts completely, though their relationship (at least in her timeline) is... a bit complicated. They haven't quite gotten to the point in canon where they become really close after Yukari smacks Mitsuru out of her depression, but Mitsuru admires Yukari a lot for being so open and honest with everything in her life. She finds Yukari's resolve, especially after her father's death, very admirable, and she's another person Mitsuru would trust with her life. The Yukari on the community is much older than the Yukari she knows at home, but she's still the same Yukari-- if not more determined and fiery than the one she knows from home. She cheered Mitsuru up after her father's death, an act that Mitsuru greatly appreciates.
Fuuka Yamagishi || Persona 3 || Rank 6
SEES's scanner, and another person Mitsuru trusts completely. She's a very kind girl in Mitsuru's eyes who is surprisingly strong despite her frail demeanor, and Mitsuru can definitely admire someone who is willing to stand up and fight like Fuuka is. Once again, the one one the community is from her past, so Mitsuru feels like she needs to tread lightly when speaking to her. That doesn't affect how she sees her, however.
Minako Arisato || Persona 3: Portable || Rank 1
Minako is... a female Minato wat. Could things get even more confusing? Nevertheless, Mitsuru finds her to be cheerful and strong, and she recognizes a lot of the traits Minato has in Minako as well. She's very interested in getting to know this girl more, though she's wary to speak with her about what happens in her world since Minako comes from her past... er. Her past in a parallel timeline. Something like that!
Cross-canon:
Prussia || Axis Powers Hetalia || Rank 8
Theirs is a... very interesting relationship, that has gone through much development since Mitsuru has joined the community. At first, Mitsuru thought Prussia was nothing but an annoying womanizer who flirt with every and anything and just wanted to get on her nerves. She executed him on more than one occasion when he tricked her, and she found herself yelling at him and calling him crude seeeeveral times. It has always been in Mitsuru's blood to fight back, so perhaps it was her fiery resistance that drew Prussia to her so magnetically. Regardless, despite their bickering, Prussia has taken it upon himself to prove to Mitsuru he can be thoughtful. And, in so many ways, he has. He has recited French poetry for her, taken her on vacations when she needs them, cheered her up when she was down, and has generally been a surprisingly good friend despite their earlier arguing. He's still somewhat infuriating to her, but she has learned a lot about who Prussia is and where he comes from over the months, and Mitsuru has found herself respecting the way he lives life on his own terms without restraint. She has discovered that Prussia's flirting and overly-romantic gestures toward her suddenly make her heart beat quickly with feelings she had never been quite familiar with before, but since he was also flirting with other people... she wasn't sure he actually meant any of them. For now, shell keep her little crush on him a secret, as she has far more important things to deal with. Either way, Prussia remains a very important friend, and she is surprisingly glad to know him.
Morrigan || Dragon Age || Rank 8
Yet another complicated and confusing relationship for the win! Because honestly, could you find two girls who were any more opposite of each other? Once again, Morrigan and Mitsuru started off on completely the wrong foot, doing nothing but sniping and arguing with each other. Mitsuru couldn't approve of the ruthlessness Morrigan seemed to display, and Morrigan couldn't stand Mitsuru's rich girl exterior. Then, they swapped bodies and were forced to live as each other for a few days... and everything changed. Seeing things from each other's points of view helped them understand each other, and since then, they have surprisingly grown closer. They still argue, and Morrigan confuses Mitsuru more often than not, but they are still looking out for each other. Almost like sisters.
Mileina Vashti || Gundam 00 || Rank 7
Mitsuru is actually really fond of Mileina, once again despite... a very strange first impression. The first time they really spoke was when Mileina wrote weird fanfiction of her and Prussia getting together, and Mitsuru scolded her heavily for embarrassing people with such stories. But Mitsuru didn't hold a grudge, and she's since spoken to Mileina on numerous occasions and discovered that she is quite fond of the girl Mileina is intelligent, bubbly, and generally very cheerful, which is something that Mitsuru really appreciates. She's also very thoughtful, as evident by the gift she gave Mitsuru when her father died. Mileina is someone Mitsuru believes she can count on!
Karen Minatsuki || Yes! Pretty Cure 5! || Rank 4
In a stark change of pace, Karen and Mitsuru actually got stared on the right foot! Karen knew Mitsuru from her previous stay on the community, which did make things a bit awkward, but barring that these two have become good friends. Mitsuru admires Karen's ability to take charge and believes she has potential to do great things in life. Karen is also one of the first people she trusted with the SEES secret, if only because Karen knew beforehand. Occasionally, Mitsuru feels a bit awkward speaking to her, but Karen has expressed the desire to spend time together one day. Mitsuru looks forward to this, so she can get to know Karen even more than she does now.
Travis Touchdown || No More Heroes || Rank 2
Another compleeeeeetely frustrating relationship on Mitsuru's part, one that... surprisingly turned into a friendship recently! At first, Mitsuru hated Travis because he was always calling her inappropriate names and generally pissing her off. During the Texts From Last Night event, however, she learned there was a lot more to him than she thought-- and that his past is actually quite tragic. She empathized with him then, and found it difficult to hate him. And after he thanked her for being understanding, stopped calling her names, complimented her and kidnapped her to cheer her up after her father passed away (though the kidnapping part was a bit frustrating) she is okay with referring to him as a friend.
