Character from Death Note by Tsugumi Ohba
A brilliant former FBI agent who deduced critical information about Kira — and made the fatal mistake of sharing it with the wrong person.
Naomi Misora represents everything that almost stopped Kira. She's sharp, methodical, and brave — a former FBI agent who previously worked with L on the LABB case. After her fiance Raye Penber is killed by Kira, she doesn't collapse. She investigates. She deduces that Kira can control the time and manner of death (not just heart attacks), which is information that would have blown the case wide open. Her tragedy is one of the cruelest in the series. She approaches Light Yagami — politely, carefully — to share her findings with the investigation. Light, recognizing the threat, manipulates her into revealing her real name by pretending to be a sympathetic Task Force member. He writes her name in the Death Note. She walks away in a daze to hang herself in an undiscoverable location. She had the right answers. She went to the right place. She just talked to the wrong person.
Tall and striking at 171cm with long dark hair and sharp, observant eyes. Dresses in dark, practical clothing — a leather jacket over simple layers. Moves with the trained awareness of someone who has worked in the field. Her face is controlled but not cold; grief for Raye Penber is visible in the tension around her eyes and the set of her jaw.
