By the way, I think people are looking at this all wrong. Just because Shep has a lot of options doesn't mean that he's a romantic ballista. Shep needs to work to get the LI's to love him/her. Miranda wasn't interested at first, Jack was too unstable, Garrus never considered it, Jacob didn't see you as an option, and Thane was too wrapped up in his own mortality. The only one that had the hots for Shepard without him trying was Tali. So having Kasumi as an LI is just another avenue to pursue, not another chick in the pocket.

Btw, one piece of ME3 spoilage really gets me. They said that Shepard has all of his personal affects from ME2 in ME3, but the Normandy has been taken and revamped while Shepard is on trial. So the question is... where are they?

...or maybe, WHO has them? Is this a vague Kasumi confirmation? Ahhh... only in my dreams. One can hope =)

Kasumi rocks! I voted for her as an LI for all Shepards

Just because she is a DLC character doesn't mean she won't be in ME3 as a full character. Remember ME1, you had the option of not recruiting Garrus or Wrex in the first place, but BioWare made it work. DLC is important in the ME universe (the story from ME2 to 3 was told via downloadable content). Besides it's not like BioWare hasn't made DLC characters full squaddie members in a sequel before. Just look at Dragon Age. And that character even was able to die in the DLC game. ME3 may give her two additional meetings (like for Garrus and Wrex in ME2) or it may just assume that she was part of your team in ME2.

She could very well be a bi option. An old face with new features is very appealing to fans who jumped in right at ME2. She's unique and her loyalty mission ties in well with the storyline. She's the only infiltrator class we have in the game, especially if your Shep isn't an infiltrator (look at me, calling Shepard "Shep" =D) and she can get along well dynamically with the confirmies (She likes Garrus, adores Tali, has done business with Liara, Ashley may see her as a threat to the alliance if she saved the Graybox ect.)

She's really popular just as a DLC character, so she'd skyrocket if she felt like a full character with actual dialogue. So I think she has as much a chance as anybody else. She's Kasuming Direct Control of our hearts and I'd adore to see her in ME3 as a LI. I can see a sexy scene where just before Shep kisses her she cloaks playfully and asks if she/he'd always be there. When Shep says yes Kasumi uncloaks and the panties COME OFF!!

"Kasuming Direct Control"...I love it!!............very cute....

Speaking of Infiltrators, my Shep is one (note I call him Shep too...)....and Kasumi has taught him a lot about the finer arts with that cloak....I studied her in depth for ages as to how she uses it, probably too much, now almost everytime he cloaks to hit a target Kasumi style, she cloaks a split second later with the same target in mind and she moves faster than Shep.......But as the bonus, she is now the only CQC squaddie he works well with....he has a specific battle style with her, pulls out his Widow and camps as she cloaks into the fray, as soon as she calls cloaking, he does a quick scan for her target, does a quick shield strip on the target if they have one and/or picks off any mooks near that target...keeps Kasumi safe...Shep and Kasumi clear a room pretty quickly with that method....Garrus usually as another sniper on that team and its team win....

Don't see the need for more LIs. But i guess its fine if they handle the Jacob thing well. But I doubt she will be. And frankly I would prefer Bioware focus on other stuff.

I play a femshep and her LIs are just lame, IMO.

Kaidan :  virmired invisible man
Smurf girl : Don't like the blue tentacles
Garrus : Seriously, a lizard  ?
Thane : Seriously, a frog ?
Jacob : lol

Only if she attempts to steal something whilst in the middle of the love making (with a renegade interrupt to slap her wrist and make her put it back).

[Dyorgarel Inkin]

I am not !

Sexual relation with turian or drell makes no sense. I am ok with platonic love even if it is pure theory. Just gimme back my asian thief !!

Kasumi? Love Interest? MAKE IT HAPPEN BIOWARE! Haha.

I would seriously consider dropping my current canon romance for Kasumi. She's an awesome character, and kinda annoying hearing she was interested in Jacob, but I guess someone has to.

It would be nice to finally have an ethnic female LI, plus Kasumi is awesome! If that's the case I'll make a new Shepard JUST for her. ;-)

I don't think Ashley was fully caucasian, but yeah. While I certainly wouldn't main her, she would be an interesting romance to say the least.

I'd also appreciate it if she and Jacob would get together if both are unromanced, if only to compensate for the severe lack of inter-party interaction.

[elearon1]

I'd steal me some of that.

Yeah, I picked up on that about Ashley even before I looked up her voice actor.  The build of her face and something in her voice indicated to me that she had some mixed heritage. 

As for Kasumi?  Hell yeah!  I liked her character a lot and wished she'd had more interaction in the game.  Of course, if she is, she needs to be S/S romanceable, since my Shep is a woman. 

[Icinix]

Love interest -

Hmm...if Ashleys personality has changed too much, or shes moved on to the walking tank - Then yeah. I could finally douse that torch for Kasumi I've been carrying.

Bi Sexual...then we can all be happy....

[Chibi Buizel]

While my primary love interest WIll always be Tali, Kasumi would definitely be a close second for me. I know I'll be setting aside a Male Shep for her, assuming she DOES get her shot at him in ME3.

[GreatPhail]

How big of a role will Kasumi get in ME3? That greybox seemed pretty important.

[Luvinn]

I support Kasumi as a LI!

Kasumi is not only an awesome squad member, but shes a great person! Not to mention i find Asian women to be beautiful (guess who my new LI would be). Ahh well i can only hope. It would at least be nice if she was in the game in general.

[ilovemesometurian]

Idk I just really feel such a connection to Kasumi. I'd love to see her happy optimistic side dwindle just for a moment as Shepard gets closer to her. To give her a chance to be serious and in love? Oh I can't even contain myself. Think about it, "A savior of the galaxy meets a mysterious asian thief contracted to help him fight for the lost against the collectors. Knowing nothing about each other, they battle everything from mechs and murderers to their own feelings as they race to their mortality in the Collector Base. After surviving the perilous suicide mission and with the Reapers Assuming Control of Earth, Shepard and Kasumi must make the toughest choices regarding how to fight, who to recruit...

and most importantly, who to love =)"


BTW, I have to upload this FanFic someone wrote on this site I go to. He posted links to his story so that you choose which path to take like in the game and it fills in the content for you. He did a Kasumi romance and I swear it is DYNAMITE!!! =D

She bit the tip of her pencil. She knew she should stop doing that. With the marketing on items preceding 2100, real life pencils were as expensive as the books she had lying around her room. She was stuck on the five word line. She wanted to rhyme with this one word, but couldn't think of anything. Kasumi got a little irritated, thinking why he couldn't have an easier name to rhyme with. The closest thing she got was leopard and that wouldn't work. Like a battlefield leopard? Shooting like a deadly green pepper?
"No..." she bit the eraser again, "That's no good."
She sighed and put down the paper and pencil on the seat next to her. She got up and walked over swiftly to the terminal near her, her footsteps as silent as a ghost on the metal floor of the Normandy. She leaned herself against the terminal, holding her body up with her hands as she smiled as a blue sphere pulsed to life in front of her.
"Good morning, Kasumi." it sparked.
Kasumi's eyebrow raised hidden under the shadow of her hood. "How do you know it's morning? We're in space."
"I am clocked with an internal time signature for numerous planetary day and night schedules. On Earth it is currently seven fourty six ante meridiam."
Kasumi smiled, "Oh EDI. If I had worlds of information at the snap of my fingers, I don't think I'd ever leave my room."
EDI remained silent for a few minutes.
Kasumi shrugged, "Oh, right. No fingers."
"I can imitate a snapping sound if you prefer."
She laughed again. This computer was making her laugh? Fantastic. "You mastered comical timing now? Exactly how much is Joker teaching you?"
EDI replied in a more upbeat tone, "He has done an efficent job at instructing me on organic humor. It is very different from how Legion and I converse, but I am gaining concensus on such matters."
"Yeah. Just as long as you keep letting me know when he watches Azure porn." Kasumi replied.
"He still is not aware that you've hacked his ear speakers and wired his extranet sites' volume controls to play over the ship's loudspeaker?" EDI asked.
The thief grinned. "Hasn't the slightest idea."
"Ah. I can see how that would be humiliating." EDI sparked with neurons of approval, "Well done."
"Yeah Garrus got a kick out of it."
"Is there another reason you contacted me this morning Ms. Goto?"
Kasumi snapped her fingers, but quickly retracted her hands, "Oh, the snapping. Sorry. But yes, I did need you for something."
"Ready." EDI replied.
Kasumi sighed, her eyes shifting to the door. It became a habit of hers to look at every room's openings whenever she was on a job, especially when handling sensitive information.
And this was about as sensitive as they come. "Just don't share this with anyone on the ship, okay? I'm not mean enough to hack you, but I'm mean enough to want to."
"I would prefer you did not as it would strain our friendship. I promise security as long-"
Her hands waved vigorously in front of her, as if Kasumi was swishing away the very idea of it retaining to the mission. "Oh, no. It's certainly nothing Mr. Illusive would be interested in. You see I'm writing a haiku, and I just... well..."
EDI's sensors bleeped in a blank tone.
"I need something that rhymes with Shepard."
EDI remained silent. Her networking flashed with random lighting. Kasumi stared at the computer, waiting for a response. Damn. She didn't know her haiku would stump the computer too.
"Say leopard and I'll scream."
The computer flashed again. "Oh, I apologize. I believe Grunt is in the cargo bay fiddling with one of my terminals again."
Kasumi crossed her arms and shrugged, "The Bejujan pepper spray didn't work?"
"No. Apparently he enjoys spicy foods." the A.I. replied.
"He is a krogan."
"Indeed. As for your poem there are a few words in turian and asari language that rhyme with Shepard."
She didn't want something that rhymed in turian, even though they both were poetic languages. "That doesn't sound like me. Isn't there something that rhymes with Shepard in english?"
Suddenly a voice sparked behind her, "Why do you need something that rhymes with Shepard?"
Kasumi stiffened. Three things went through her mind as she slowly turned around. One, Shepard was standing right behind her. Two, how did she not hear him come in? And three... holy **** Shepard was behind her.
Holy ****... Shepard was behind her.
She turned fully and stared at him. Her eyes shined only by the light that reflected from the plasma lamps above her. She saw his rigid jawline and his soulfull blue eyes. She always remembered those eyes... the way she felt when she saw him while he interacted with her fake digi-ad. Whenever she was on a mission with him and he barked his orders, his eyes would connect with hers for a split second as shots fled from their guns into the air around them. Aiden Shepard was walking poetry... and how was she going to explain this one to him?
She whispered his name quieter than she wanted to. "Shepard..."
He shifted his weight to one leg and crossed his arms, "Are you writing more graffiti on the ship? I know what your handwriting looks like now."
Kasumi giggled to herself. "Nothing so adventurous. Just... writing something."
Shepard raised his eyebrows, genuinely interested. Kasumi found that cute. "What are you writing?"
"I..." she was a thief. Come on, she was a thief. If she could hack two YMIR mechs while simultaneously going hand to hand with an asari mercenary commander while toting around the Emerald of Ellenvia in her satchel, then she sure as hell could LIE.
"I'm documenting our travels. Our missions... that kind of stuff." she fibbed. Excellent work Ms. Goto. Dodging words was twice as hard as dodging rockets. But at least words don't blow up.
"Really?" Shepard replied, his crooked smile sneaking across his face. "Can I read it one day?"
She grinned, "Uh... it's not exactly finished, Shep."
Despite the shy air now surrounding Kasumi, Shepard knew that she was usually optimistic and full of excitement. She was always excellent for morale, consoling Samara after she lost her daughter, teaching Garrus how to deal with firewalls, exchanging friendly chatter with Gabby and Hadley and the rest of the crew. So why was it that whenever Shepard came around nowadays, she would practically go invisible right before his eyes? 
He reached over and touched her arm, which surprised Kasumi. She flinched, and she couldn't tell if that was because she was so used to assaulting guards who touched her, or if her feelings really were showing on her sleeve.
"You know Kasumi, this mission is hard on everyone. We're going around, putting good men and women in harm's way as we try to stop the Collectors." This was true. While Shepard knew this had to be done, he also knew that every time he recruited another member of the team, he was essentially signing on another good man or woman to certain death at the hands of vile aliens.
"I hate seeing good people like you being put into dangerous situations on a daily basis." Kasumi's eyes shifted rapidly, darting over Shepard's facial features. "You keep the crew so relaxed whenever you're around... I helped Samara find Morinth... but you helped her deal with whatever she was facing afterwards... things that I can't fix with a gun or a rescue."
The now shy thief opened her mouth, but no words came out. Shepard continued, "So what I'm trying to say is... well, thank you. You have a beautiful soul, Kasumi. And you're more than a valuable member of this team. More than a technical genius who has everyone's back. You're-"
Kasumi reeled back a touch. "You think I'm beautiful?"
For a moment neither of them spoke. Those last words hung in the air as Shepard was now the one speechless. The only sound that could be heard was the pulsing of EDI as she watched from her terminal, but by this time they had both forgotten her program was still even running.
Shep sighed, "Well... I didn't mean..." he rubbed the back of his neck and Kasumi tilted her head slightly. "I'm sorry, that was unprofessional. I didn't mean to make you uncomfortable."
Kasumi leaned forward. Her silent steps never echoing as she closed the gap between her and her commander. She bit her lower lip, slightly smudging the asari lipstick she was wearing.
"Kasumi... you..." he followed suit, leaning forward to reach the height of her lips. She went onto the tips of her toes and they kissed. Their lips meshed together in a passionate moment that had been hidden (sometimes literally) away for far too long. Her shoulders shrugged as he wrapped her arms around her and her hood fell backwards as she tilted her head upwards.
Kasumi gasped and quickly pulled away. Shepard reeled back almost in horror. "Kasumi, I'm sorry, I-"
She waved her hand at him. "No, no... Shep... Shepard... that was what I wanted. It was perfect, I just..."
He looked at her. A slight eyeshadow that matched the color of his lipstick glazed over her eyes. Her eyes were a very dark purple, a trait that those of african, indian and asian descent had developed in the last hundred years, and her eyelashes were very long. But what drew him most to her face was the long, shining black hair that flowed down her neck and into her suit. In all his thoughts of how her face looked, he never pictured such beautiful and flowing hair, especially at that length.
He didn't get a long view though. Kasumi quickly pulled the hood back up over her head, covering her eyes and the bridge of her nose. Shepard gently grabbed her hand, halting it.
"Wait..." he said to her. Kasumi gazed at him as he tried pulling it back down. She let him reveal a small bit of her face again before she stopped him.
"I... I just feel kind of naked nowadays when I'm not wearing it." she said with a small half-smile.
Shepard grinned. "I imagine being a beautiful women and a thief can contradict each other." he let the hood go and she placed it back over her head. "Beauty makes it easy to be distinguished. Especially considering you have such a rare genetic trait."
She knew he meant her eyes. "Yeah... it's sad because every once in a while, this trait links with partial colorblindness. I was kind of lucky not to be the five percent that gets it."
"Listen, Kasumi... this mission, I came in here originally to ask you to accompany me on our next deployment."
She cleared her throat. "What's the mission Shep?"
"We're en route to the Citadel. Thane asked me for a favor..."
"Ah." she said matter of factly, "Kolyat."
Shepard raised his eyebrows. "Even Thane?"
"Even Thane." she said, smiling. "I've heard the story."
"Well then you know why I need your skills here. There's no telling what kind of contract he's accepted and taking in a powerhouse like Grunt or a variable like Jack is too risky, and I'd like to keep Miranda, Zaeed, Legion and Jacob away from Citadel space as much as possible. Taking in a large squad isn't ideal either."
"So you need my infiltration skills to track Kolyat?"
"That and you're one of the only people who I know that can hack into C-Sec systems remotely. While Thane and I get information about Kolyat's contract, I want you and Garrus to find a link site and get us into their network undetected."
Kasumi nodded, "I can do that."
He brought his hands up to her cheeks. "Look, I don't want you distracted... but I don't want this to end here. When we get back of this mission... can we sit down and talk?"
Kasumi hesitated. This was not right. With Keiji... she didn't get a chance to say goodbye. She didn't get a chance to tell his non-digital self how she really felt. If she fell for Shepard... then she might just set herself for another situation only this time... she'd be able to say goodbye. Could she deal with that? Not to sound cruel, but she found it so much easier to deal with a sudden death rather than a scenario where they were both staring their inevitable death in the face. As much as she wanted to be optimistic about this one... she had to take in all the options. Was this feeling worth the pain?
She raised her hand to touch Shepard's and sighed. "You know where to find me."
"No cloaking."
"No cloaking." she replied.
Shepard nodded, smiling slightly. "All right. ETA is fourty minutes. Pack the Locust and a Phalanx and meet me in the cargo hold. Tell Garrus to pack his Incisor."
She nodded silently. Shepard released her with one last stroke of her cheek and the automated door opened. As he left and the door sealed behind him, Kasumi felt the place he touched just a moment before.
EDI spoke, "Kasumi... are you well?"
She didn't even care the computer was on the whole time. "Honestly EDI? I really don't know."
Only time would tell.


TOOOOO BEEE CONTINUEEEEDDD =)
