WELL well well.

hello there! i bring you bigby, someone already in the game and most definitely a detective already. if you'd like to have previous CR, i would be more than fine working something out where Naoto either did some kind of... intern-like program or maybe more akin to ride alongside? or if her family is in law enforcement, he may have just known her parents and could be aware of her desire to be a detective.

she could maybe get involved or has already been involved in some minor crimes that she somehow aced at an alarmingly fast speed. to the point that Bigby might have to get suspicious of her oops. lmk if you would be cool with any of that though!!

HELLO MR DETECTIVE SIR I'd love for them to have previous CR!

I've been working more on her family history, actually, which would provide a way for them to know each other. TL;DR version:

-Grandfather was a prefectural police chief in Japan, moved to America in postwar years. Became a wealthy businessman.
-His son (Naoto's dad) followed in his father's footsteps, and was a detective with ambitions of becoming a captain or even police chief
-When Naoto was very young, her father and mother were killed in an accident (or was it an accident? actually not sure on this part yet)
-Naoto was raised by her grandfather in the suburbs of Recolle but a few years ago moved in to the city to live on her own because she wanted to go to school here and experience more exciting and interesting police work.
-She wants to be a detective to follow in the footsteps of her father and grandfather, and to give her grandfather a proper "successor"
-Her grandfather probably pulled some strings/connections to get Naoto an effective internship, or like you said, a ride-along program

And for Bigby in particular, she probably knows his wife Elizabeth (who might be a little concerned for Naoto living on her own?)

So that's plenty of opportunity for Naoto and Bigby to have a connection! Maybe he knew her dad before her parents died? Or since it was 10+ years ago, maybe he wasn't on the force yet?

Either way YES I WANT THIS

this is a super belated response and i am Shame because i read it but. i forgot to reply. omg. i'm sorry

BACK ON TOPIC, yes?? i should say no because that's hella sad and Bigby probably would have known her dad because he's been on the force for around 13-14 years and was a police officer around that time. her dad would have been a superior if he was a detective then, but he likely knows the last name and/or talked to him at least a few times!

i have no idea how internships work at police stations or if they're even a Thing considering how hazardous the job can be, but ride along's can for sure happen. he's just going to be confused as to why she wants to do his job so badly wtf. he'll be the first one to say it sucks ass like 98% of the time

If we wanted to get really dramatic, Papa Shirogane could have offered young Bigby some advice/tried to guide him a little. He can totally just have known of him / met him a few times though!

They're probably not actually A Thing in real life, but I'm just going with "Naoto's grandfather pulled in a LOT of old favors."

i'm definitely fine with her dad being a mentor of sorts for bigby!! more pain is always better tbqh.

quick q though because i intend on tagging you on the tdm. would bigby have knowledge of naoto being female disguised as male? or would you like him to believe she is male for the start of their CR?

He would probably know! I imagine if he knew her dad, he'd know that Detective Shirogane had a daughter... and he's also a detective, too. She'd probably just quietly ask him to keep it to himself.
