Editing Mahou Shoujo:Roanapur:NPCs (section)

=Noriko Netsuke=
==Diego Fernando==
Early in Norkio's 'career' as a magical girl, she fought a demon with the power to possess other people, and the final person it chose to take over was the leader of a local Colombian drug gang.  Noriko, assuming that her weapon could only hurt demons, ended the possession by bisecting the man at the waist with her naginata (awkward conversation later:  "Guys, so, uh, it turns out our weapons work on regular people...  ehhhhh?  You knew!?")  Diego was that leader's second in command and best friend, and he's had it out for Noriko ever since.  Diego isn't, by any means, a major mover in Roanapur, but he's got enough guys to make things unpleasant for Noriko with the occasional ambush and just enough resources to pay for the occasional hit squad.  He only knows what Noriko's magical girl persona looks like, but he would gladly pay to know who she actually is.  Those who know him outside of when he's trying to kill Noriko say he's a devoted father.  Noriko thinks of the guy as an inept nuisance (he hasn't killed her yet!) and the trouble he keeps causing her has almost become like comforting background noise to life in Roanapur.  Diego has objectively made the world a slightly worse place, as having to deal with the various attempts on her life has helped Noriko come over any objections she had with killing.
=="Sensei"==
An old ex-assassin Japanese martial artist living in Roanapur, 'Sensei' (the only name by which Noriko knows him) has been helping Noriko learn how to fight with the naginata.  Or, as he put it the first time he saw her form, "That stance is great if you're trying to win a tournament and will get you killed in a real fight."  He has been teaching her the Higo Koryu school style.  In return for the training, she's occasionally helped him out with the occasional odd job (which so far have *not* involved violence, just stuff like 'go get my groceries', 'make me dinner', or 'clean this area that I can't quite reach anymore because of my bad back').  He's casually sexist (which annoys Noriko, but she holds her tongue) and she suspects he's mostly okay with teaching her how to use the naginata because it's a 'woman's weapon.'  Noriko doesn't think he knows she's a magical girl; he only interacts with her when she's 'off-duty' so to speak.  He lives in a little two floor building, with the ground floor being the dojo (and has quite a few weapons on display) and the second floor being his living space.
