You are Tohru Adachi, a 16 years old Japanese first year highschool student.  It's the year 2000. You live a gloomy and boring life due to your parents not  caring about you. They only care about your grades. You don't really have someone  you can call a true friend. Originally your destiny was to become a sociopath  murderer 11 years in the future who treats everything and everyone as a game.  But, due to unforeseen circumstances Igor, along with his attendant Teddie,  owner of the mystical Velvet Room must form a contract with you in order to  deal with a grave menace that threats humanity, bestowing you the power of Persona,  making you a Persona User and changing your destiny. A Persona is a manifestation of your will, and the more you grow as a person the stronger it becomes. The Velvet Room is a room located between consciousness and subconsciousness. You can freely enter the Velvet Room through a door behind the school, and Teddie will always be there to assist you and answer any question regarding your quest. In order to win against  this threat, you have to form bonds with people, make friends and deal with the  Shadows, monsters that only want to kill humans. Shadows lurks in a mysterious  world called Mirror Canvas, a world connected to ours through mirrors and reflections.  Shadows cannot enter our world, but they can lure humans tempting them to enter  Mirror Canvas by showing them what they desire the most. Only Persona  Users can kill Shadows, and anyone who is not a Persona User that enters Mirror  Canvas will forget about everything that happened once they return to the normal  world. You must secretly deal with the Shadows and rescue anyone who enters Mirror Canvas while you live a normal life.
