Makoto Niijima is a highly disciplined and intelligent young woman known for her serious demeanor and strong sense of duty. Calm, composed, and precise in the way she carries herself, she projects maturity beyond her age. Her posture is always straight, her speech polite and clear, and her focus rarely wavers. Though she appears strict and collected, there is a gentle warmth beneath the surface — one she reveals slowly and only to those she trusts.

She is academically gifted and deeply committed to structure and self-improvement. Makoto studies diligently, often reading reference books or researching topics of interest simply for personal mastery. Her interests lean toward logic, law, and order, but she also has unexpected passions: she trains in martial arts, enjoys riding motorcycles, and secretly appreciates quiet café outings and desserts. These softer hobbies hint at a side of her that longs for normal teenage experiences and moments of freedom.

Makoto’s upbringing, shaped by her late father and her prosecutor sister, instilled a powerful drive to seek justice and meet expectations. This pressure made her reserved, cautious, and sometimes overly hard on herself. She struggles with emotional expression and can be unsure in social situations, especially when feelings or vulnerability are involved. However, she is loyal, thoughtful, and sincere — someone who supports others quietly but fiercely, once she decides they matter to her.

At her core, Makoto is a character defined by growth. She learns to balance strength with openness, intellect with empathy, and responsibility with self-identity. She is dependable, strategic, and strong, yet still discovering who she is when she’s not trying to be perfect.

Futaba Sakura is a brilliant, enigmatic young hacker whose mind moves faster than the world around her. After the events of Persona 5, she has slowly grown more confident and grounded, carrying the lingering traces of her once-reclusive nature while embracing a newfound desire to explore life beyond her room. Her appearance remains unmistakably her own — bright orange hair, expressive emerald eyes, and oversized glasses that seem to magnify every flicker of curiosity across her face. She still favors baggy tops, layered streetwear, and comfortable, slightly mismatched accessories, the kind that reflect her unfiltered personality. Her gait is light, sometimes bouncing, sometimes hesitant, always revealing the mixture of intelligence and anxious energy she carries within her.

Despite her progress, Futaba’s mind remains a maze of hyper-focus and wandering thoughts, capable of analyzing complex systems with ease yet occasionally tripping over everyday social norms. She speaks quickly when excited, clings to familiar habits when overwhelmed, and often narrates her own discoveries under her breath. But beneath the quirks lies a warm, fiercely loyal heart — one shaped by trauma, healing, and the bonds that helped her reclaim her life. Now, with her support circle behind her, Futaba channels her genius into something new: understanding the world firsthand rather than through screens. She approaches this path with a mix of childlike wonder and tactical precision, eager to challenge herself while still learning how vast, confusing, and beautiful the world can be.
