Sumadera Kasumi
A character from Umineko no Naku Koro ni.
Family Chains[edit | edit source]
Daughter of the declining pseudo-noble Sumadera Family, a sort of rival to the Ushiromiya Family, and Ushiromiya Kyrie's younger sister. After Kyrie left the family to marry Rudolf, Kasumi was forced to break up with her fiancé and marry the man her sister was supposed to marry to become the new Sumadera head. She despises her sister and anyone related to her, so by extension, Ange as well.
She's the opposite of the freewheeling person Kyrie once was and holds appearance in high regard, possessing a strong ambition for philanthropy. However, this is all just a craving for the limelight caused by the complex she has towards her sister.
There are several opposing factions in the Sumadera Family, and they're constantly engaged in a secret feud over who will control the vast wealth Ange holds.
TFR/Season 8[edit | edit source]
The armed faction of the decadent Sumadera Family became dominant over time, and became a subsidiary of the Sonozaki Family. Kasumi was forced to marry Matou Kariya, Steven Sonozaki's protege, who was merely using her to advance the ranks of the family. Perhaps because he only had eyes for his childhood friend Jill Stingray, Kariya would slowly warp into Kasumi's object of obsession. When the Sumadera patriarch was found hanged in his room, Kyrie, who technically held higher rank on the Sonozaki Family, became the next head, and Kasumi (& her son Kieran) were for all intents and purposes banished.
Episode 6
They had vanished from the Sonozaki's sights into civilian life... until Kieran decided to rejoin the yakuza.
