Rina Oshiro
Arcana: The Fool
Appearance: As expected, Rina wears a classy outfit. Her normal wear is a peach-colored jacket over a white blouse, a knee-length beige skirt, black tights, and white mary-janes. She has pale skin, gold eyes, and long brown hair normally braided into pigtails.
Personality: Rina, at first, seems rather difficult to get along with. She tends to be rather withdrawn and quiet, though not necessarily shy - if people lash out at her she’ll strike back, having a rather sardonic sense of humor. However, thanks to her social status, she’s only really that way because she tends not to trust people, considering most people just want to be her friend for the fame or cash and don’t actually care about who the real her is. To those who manage to earn her trust, she actually proves to be pretty gentle and kind, having a vulnerable side underneath her frosty exterior. In dire situations she tends to gravitate towards being the leader due to being in a position where most people can trust her.
Persona (well, main persona due to her being a wild card): Gilgamesh (evolves into Rostam)
Weapons: Rapiers

Hikaru Hayashi
Arcana: The Sun
Appearance: Hikaru usually dresses rather casually, with a blue T-shirt, gray jeans, and black sneakers. If he’s feeling cold he’s also got a black down jacket. He has short, wavy blond hair and hazel eyes.
Personality: Hikaru has a generally cheerful and friendly outlook. He tends to be rather laid-back, but whenever something manages to catch his interest, he shows the excitement underneath. He’s generally very easy to make friends with, and is quick to jump to the defense of people who need it... even if he’s not really trained in fighting at all and could probably be taken out in one to two punches. However, his disinterest in schoolwork and responsibilities is worse than it appears. His Shadow is spawned from him feeling trapped due to wanting to be a hero and help people but being unable to due to his own limitations and real-life responsibilities.
Persona: Beowulf (Evolves into: Hrothgar)
Weapons: Two-Handed Swords
Social Link Info: Hikaru’s Social Link focuses around his problems with his limits and responsibilities. It’s ultimately resolved with Rina teaching him that he should be the best person he can be, not the best person he thinks he should be.

Izumi Akiyama
Arcana: The Chariot
Appearance: Izumi’s tough and pretty muscular, giving her a boyish appearance. She typically dresses in a dark green shortsleeve shirt and blue running shorts, along with orange running shoes. She has thick, unkempt auburn hair and silver eyes.
Personality: It’s easy to tell Izumi is a go-getter the moment one bothers to look at her. She tends to be a bit rude and brash, but isn’t really all that bad - she just has poor social skills due to saying the first thing on her mind most of the time and is otherwise a pretty good person. She’s a very driven person, and whenever she comes up with a goal she will do everything in her power to get to it - often to self-destructive measures. Her Shadow is spawned from her feeling trapped between her personal health and achieving her goals.
Persona: Aeneas (evolves into Helen)
Weapons: Brass Knuckles
Social Link Info: Izumi’s Social Link has her struggling to separate her goals from her personal time. Rina manages to console her and teaches her that it’s ok to have balance and like things.

Wilma Hanley
Arcana: The Moon
Appearance: Wilma dresses in a fairly simple outfit, with a white shirt, a pink hoodie, a brown skirt, knee-high white socks, and brown shoes. She has curly blonde hair and big violet eyes.
Personality: As a foreigner, Wilma can be a little offputting at first interaction. She tends to flip-flop between trying too hard to impress people and being shy about it. She tries her hardest to make friends, though, and proves to be a rather loyal companion... if not kind of immature. She’s surprisingly skilled in many areas, having a keen interest in metals and crafting stuff. She tends to be kinda gullible, though, and tries too hard to please others, being easily influenced by peer pressure. Her Shadow is spawned from her being trapped between pleasing people and pleasing herself.
Persona: Enkidu (evolves into Kriemhild)
Weapons: Spears
Social Link: Wilma’s Social Link has Rina teaching her how to fit in amongst her fellow students and learn about the region’s customs. At the end, Wilma’s improvement is clear, and she also learns how to accept her faults.

Ryouichi Fukui
Arcana: The Emperor
Appearance: Ryoichi stands pretty tall, and typically dresses in dark tones, wearing a brown blazer over a gray dress shirt, a red tie, black pants, and dark brown loafers. He also wears a black fedora, which would normally be against school rules, but who’s really gonna call him out on it? He has russet skin, black hair, and gray eyes.
Personality: Ryouichi is a man who’s commonly feared around school thanks to his intimidating stature and generally silent demeanor. He prefers to speak only when spoken to and doesn’t show much emotion, and tends to casually skip school days, with the principal unable to stop him... or perhaps unwilling, considering Ryouichi’s dad is the Chief Justice. In reality, Ryouichi hides some pretty massive anger issues. His Shadow is spawned from him feeling unable to vent properly without causing people to get hurt.
Persona: Wiglaf (evolves into Arthur)
Weapons: Clubs
Social Link: Initially, Ryouichi’s Social Link revolves around Rina helping him with his anger issues, and also giving him healthy ways to vent. Rina determines the root of the problem is not being able to communicate with his dad, and manages to help the two find a compromise.

Tamiko Maeda
Arcana: The Lovers
Appearance: Tamiko’s outfit is very strange, reminiscent of a supervillain, almost. She wears a big gray trenchcoat and a black undershirt, combined with black jeans and brown boots. She also has a cloak with a fancy cravat and hood that she normally wears. She has bright green eyes and rather frazzled purple hair.
Personality: Tamiko seems very... out there, to say the least. She’s constantly snooping around people and stalking them, and despite being strangely quiet about it when questioned she promptly talks about her psychic powers and supernatural abilities. When one tries to hold an actual conversation with her, results are... varied. She tends to be rather obsessive, but to things she’s not particularly interested in she couldn’t really care less. That said, she’s an amazingly skilled manipulator and tactical genius, and is usually pretty spirited and cheerful when she’s around the right people. She’s strangely popular around school. Her Shadow is spawned from her inability to make other people understand her, and she doesn’t know whether to be herself or not.
Persona: Odysseus (evolves into Unferth)
Weapons: None. She’s mission control.
Social Link: Tamiko’s Social Link has Rina... helping with her occult research. Tamiko struggles with the possibility that the stuff she believes in isn’t real due to nobody else believing it, but at the end, Rina assures her that she should be the one to decide that, not everyone else.

Kazuki Nakajima
Arcana: Justice
Appearance: Kazuki dresses in a black suit with a rose on the lapels, along with a crimson vest and black dress shoes. He has well-groomed black hair and bright blue eyes.
Personality: Kazuki is unfailingly polite and well-mannered among most people, particularly fans. Despite maintaining a dignified air he’s a surprisingly personable person, generally being rather casual in conversation. He doesn’t even care much for his image, considering the way he really acts is his image. That said, he does have a habit of rambling, and also has a bit of a macabre sense of humor. His Shadow is spawned from him being trapped in his theater troupe due to needing it to provide for his family but being unable to expose their crimes, lest he be out of a job.
Persona: Dante (evolves into Achilles)
Weapons: Claws
Social Link: Kazuki’s Social Link has Rina trying to help him find a new place with his theater troupe disbanded. It ends with Rina helping him start a new path rather than trying to jump back onto his main theater path. Also the two hook up.

Arata Kobayashi
Arcana: The Hanged Man
Appearance: Arata dresses as a butler should, especially one with such a high-class family. He wears a blue dress shirt, a black waistcoat, black dress pants, and brown dress shoes. He has dark copper-colored hair and pale crimson eyes.
Personality: A new butler on the job that gets to tend to Rina in her household. Despite being young (especially for a butler; he’s only Rina’s age) he’s very skilled at his work and is confident in his skills, doing his best to serve Rina. Initially, he joins Rina’s household to spy on her for Yuudai after she acquires a Persona. However, as he sees that he’s not exactly working for the best person and that Rina is actually a pretty good person, he develops Shadows of his own, being torn between loyalties. After his Shadow is defeated he joins the party as a genuine ally.
Persona: Virgil (evolves into Sheafson)
Weapons: Combat Knives
Social Link: Arata’s Social Link has Rina comforting him and helping him to separate his former boss from his life. At the end, Arata eventually accepts that his boss helped him become who he was.
