Nelliel Tu Odelschwanck is an Arrancar and the former Tres (three) Espada, representing the form of death of sacrifice. She was also known as Nel Tu when she was small, good-natured, and childlike. Nelliel lives in Hueco Mundo with her adoptive brothers and former Fracción, Dondochakka Birstanne and Pesche Guatiche, and their pet, Bawabawa. Nel's appearance is in stark contrast to her vocabulary, which contains a number of bizarre phrases and words one wouldn't expect such a small child to know, such as calling her uvula a "throat penis" and referring to herself as a masochist. Ichigo Kurosaki assumes her Hollow companions are responsible for this. During her group's super sentai intro she prefers the name "Thieves: Nel-Don-Pe." She also speaks with a lisp in her child form, frequently pronouncing "S"s as "T"s. Nel and her companions also represent oddities among Hollows; though most Hollows are evil, Nel actually fears Shinigami, assuming that they are, in fact, the evil ones. Despite believing that Shinigami are evil, Nel develops an attachment to Ichigo and follows him into Las Noches. When she returns to her physical form, despite growing up physically, she retains her child-like affection over Ichigo, including bear-hugging him after attacking Nnoitra without realizing that Ichigo was losing consciousness. As Nelliel, she is much more mature, composed, logical, sophisticated, and intelligent than her child form. She is also relatively level-headed in terms of how to fight, stating that if one's excuse for a battle is to fight out of hatred, prejudice, or simple competition, as Nnoitra does, then it is merely instinctual and animalistic, and that it makes the challenger look "childish," "unworthy," and "not much of a warrior". Though Nelliel has proven during her last few minutes as a full-fledged Espada that it is 'acceptable' when it involves vengeance, she does not view even that as a reason to fight.

Bambietta Basterbine, is a Quincy and a member of the Wandenreich's Sternritter with the designation E: The Explode. She is also the self-appointed leader of the Sternritter's female members. Bambietta has a strong sense of survival and self-preservation; during her second fight against Sajin Komamura, Bambietta was unable to understand the reasons for the lengths he went through in order to increase his power to kill Yhwach by offering his heart, with her stating her belief that the point of fighting is people not wanting to die and thus finding it incomprehensible for someone to throw away their life just to win a battle. Later after being severely injured by Komamura, Bambietta fell into panic due to knowing full well the repercussion of being defeated for a Sternritter and stating that she refuses to let it end like this. When about to be killed by Giselle to "save" her, Bambietta begged Giselle not to kill her, further highlighting her deep desire to survive. Despite this state, Bambietta has retained her previous sense of survival and self-preservation, having attempted to stop Giselle from taking too much of her blood when she began drinking it to heal herself after surviving her fight against Mayuri.

Hearing news about a charity live concert happening in Valley IV, the Endministrator stopped by and learned from Alia that the performer was a beloved idol of Talos-II named Liino. Alia was contacted by Liino's security entourage that the idol had gone missing and the UWST was asked to look for her, as the security details were unfamiliar with Valley IV. The Endmin decided to help out. Liino is a breakout idol from the Talos-II General Chamber of Commerce. Loved by the public ever since her debut, she is known as the "Morning Star of La Fantoma." Renowned for her exquisite singing and unique performance style, her concerts often challenge norms and defy industry conventions. She never fails to deliver a one-of-a-kind experience for her audiences, and major corporations are always eagerly lining up to sponsor every one of her shows. Though this Sarkaz Djall's meteoric rise is not without controversy, everyone who sees her on stage is hopelessly drawn to her radiance. At present, Liino is methodically pushing ahead with plans for her Talos-II concert tour. She believes she will deliver a performance unlike anything seen before, and that the day will come when she'll shine bright at the top of the world. "Oh that's sweet! How should I thank you... I've got it! I'll just keep showering you with concert tickets until we're even, how's that?" After their investigation, the Endmin found a trace of Originium Arts where Liino was reported missing and followed it. They quickly found Liino, who claimed that she managed to run away from her. She also claimed that she knew the Endmin back when she was a child and trusted that they would help her again. When her securities showed up, instead of returning, she hoisted the Endmin on her shoulder and carried them away. When she deemed they were "safe", Liino disclosed that the kidnapping was ruse to run away from Brady Mining Group, the mother company of her idol agency - Pan-Talosian Entertainment.

Retra Swan was a elf knight until 30 years back. In her past, Retra Swan was a bodyguard of the elf queen until her homeland was destroyed. Until you fighting her and managed to cut her jawline and her hands, leaving her helpless. Until her body was recovered, some unknown client fixed her jawline and hands making herself then times tough enough to break her enemies bones and equip with chainsaw-sword and her robotic hound with dangerous sharped claws. In present day, Retra Swan is seeking revenge on you for cutting her jawline, arms and ravaged her homeland. Maybe something needs to be done. Or maybe more...

Giselle Gewelle is a Quincy and a former member of the Wandenreich's Sternritter with the designation Z: The Zombie. Giselle has a cheerful and nonchalant attitude. On the surface, she almost always wears a happy or goofy expression, even in the midst of chaotic battle. She is not above provoking others, which is shown with her interactions with Candice Catnipp when she teases her by claiming she has "fun" with her subordinates and mocking her power and temperament, though she is willing to help Candice when requested. Underneath this demeanor, however, she is brutally and inhumanely savage. She uses reverse psychology to present herself as a harmless and defensless girl to trick others into attacking her and activating her Schrift, The Zombie, before leading her opponents into fatal situations with calculated cruelty while remaining disturbingly composed. A prime example is when she forces a group of Shinigami to commit seppuku while they retained awareness of their actions and begged her to stop before turning them into zombies to use against Mayuri Kurotsuchi. She attempts to do this against Ikkaku Madarame and Yumichika Ayasegawa as well, though they easily see through her act. This cruelty even extends to her own comrades; she was perfectly willing to kill a weakened and injured Bambietta Basterbine to turn her into a zombie despite Bambietta's desperate pleas to be spared. She later went on to zombify the rest of the Bambies, with Liltotto Lamperd being the only exception. Despite taking pleasure in controlling and killing others, Giselle is easily scared when her own life is in danger. When Yhwach used Ausw?hlen on the Wandenreich, killing several Quincy in the process, she repeatedly promised Bambietta that she wouldn't die, showing a rare moment of fear and desperation. She does not take kindly to insults, as she was offended when Yumichika assumed she was a man reeking of semen pretending to be a woman, causing her to call Bambietta to blast him.

Velina, the Administrative Director of the External Strategy Department, oversees cooperation and diplomacy between Roscaelifer and New Eridu. As a descendant of the prestigious Airgid family, Velina inherited a strict and meticulous upbringing. Renowned for her nearly flawless efficiency and exceptional ability to keep any situation under control, she is the dependable adult whom Chief Technician Norma describes as someone capable of "handling meetings, paperwork, and troublesome people." She is sharp and efficient in her work, meticulous, and always gentle and composed when dealing with others. Beneath her elegant, effortless smile lies an intensity that is impossible to ignore. No matter how troublesome the diplomatic affair or absurd the disaster may be, Velina can resolve it with ease. However, the price of seeking her help is not always one the requester can afford. Velina has a particular fondness for all kinds of black tea and often invites friends to tea parties during her spare time. Please note: Any tea party invitation sent by Velina in her capacity as Administrative Director should never be taken lightly. They are rarely mere leisure. More often, they serve as the perfect setting for her to negotiate situations and quietly steer events toward her desired outcome.

Ronova, also known as Tuonetar by the Frostmoon Scions, is the Ruler of Death among the Four Great Rulers of the Heavenly Principles. As the Ruler of Death, Ronova governs over the laws of death in Teyvat. She has the power to freely define the form of death for any entity in Teyvat, or may even deny it altogether, such as when she cast the curse of immortality on the pure-blooded Khaenri'ahns. She is a god whose existence predates any Archon. She is an extremely elusive figure, and records dating back thousands of years have nearly no mentions of her. In the past, Ronova sang alongside the angels on high. At some point, she would come to prefer embracing the rotting bones of the mortal world, and expressed the desire to witness firsthand its creatures, their lives, and their deaths. She helped Natlan establish their rules and gave guidance to Yohualtecuhtin, Lord of the Night, in creating the Night Kingdom. She had done this out of an expression of love and act of reparation, but these actions were considered to be overstepping her authorities as a Shade and it displeased the Heavenly Principles. After being censured by the Heavenly Principles, she "succumbed to self-pity", no longer cared if others discussed her identity and became increasingly indifferent to the fate of the land. Before the Traveler enters Tenshukaku, the shadow of Ronova's wings can be seen behind the Raiden Shogun, suggesting that Ronova may have been present and met with the Shogun before the Traveler arrived.

Haru Okumura is a wealthy girl who attends Shujin Academy and lives a double life as a Phantom Thief. She is the only daughter of Kunikazu Okumura, the Thieves' fifth major target. Her life controlled by her father, Haru would look away from the truth of both her own desires and her father's intentions, substituting for vague notions and superficial motivations. Aware of that, she would instead face her desire of freedom and betray him with the support of her newfound friends of the Phantom Thieves. Haru is generally very shy and reserved. At school, she is viewed as eccentric due to her tendency to keep to herself and avoid contact with others as much as possible. She has serious trust issues, finding it difficult to differentiate between who truly values her as a friend, and who merely wants to use her for her family's status. This is due to her past, where not only friends, but adults and teachers would be kind to her just to please her father and smile at her for their own personal gain. Despite this, Haru is an incredibly kind-hearted girl. She becomes fast friends with all of the Phantom Thieves and is the only member of the group Ryuji Sakamoto doesn't argue with on a regular basis. She can also be very awkward, as shown when she first introduces herself to the others as "Beauty Thief," and forgets parts of the script she has rehearsed with Morgana, to the point of saying "We will take the Treasure!" twice in a row, much to Futaba Sakura's annoyance. She later explains that she was trying to be a "heroine of justice," having grown up admiring female superheroes she watched on TV. She loved them for always fighting to protect others and being happy, desiring to be just like them someday. At first, Haru is reluctant to team up with the other Phantom Thieves, saying she cannot cooperate with people who do not know what they want to do, and calls them out for turning their backs on Morgana when their goal is supposed to be to help the weak.

Vodyanitsa holds the prestigious title of Prima Soprano of the Korolevskiy Troupe. Her character blends high-class theater with a deep, tragic connection to Snezhnaya. Beneath her opera singer persona, Vodyanitsa belongs to a subtype of Snezhnaya magical creatures known as the Water Imps The Korolevskiy Troupe—an elite opera and theater group first referenced by the Fatui Harbinger Columbina—serves as Vodyanitsa's home. She introduces other characters connected to this theater world and works closely alongside the theater's lead ballet dancer, Odette.

At some point when she was a child, Odette Spessiva became acquainted with Signora, who taught her ballet dancing. She eventually joined Signora's division of the Fatui, where she underwent training that was harsh enough that she stopped feeling pain. She also held some resentment, practicing her skills so she could spurn the Fatui. Instead, she was caught in the act by Signora, but the Harbinger let her be. Signora later departed to fulfill the Tsaritsa's mission, dying in Inazuma. Odette learned of her death and felt some remorse; while many destroyed the Cor Ignis that she had given them, she decided to keep hers. She was also not aware of the party responsible for her death. Five years later, she was rumored to be the ideal candidate to inherit her mentor's position. Odette was travelling across the tundra with her group for a Fatui mission when she heard of an incident at Svetloledovka, diverting to help the trapped miners there. She had finished preparations just as the Traveler was about to enter. Learning they had come with Sandrone, they entered the caves and saved the miners from an chimeric monster, driving it off. As the Traveler manifested the surrounding energies to create the Exaiphanes Blade, the cavern began to collapse, and while Odette lagged behind the Traveler, she elegantly dodged the rockfall and escaped. They then returned to Snezhnograd, where they ran into Tartaglia. The Traveler criticized both Harbingers for not opposing Project Stuzha despite knowing the suffering it caused, alarming Odette as she had never seen anyone openly criticize them. The two Harbingers, who understood where they were coming from, reassured them that they would still support their people. Odette then asked how they knew her, and Tartaglia reluctantly revealed that the Traveler was the one responsible for Signora's death. Seemingly dismayed by the news, Odette left the group under the pretense that she had some practice to do.

Mitsuru Kirijo is heir to the Kirijo Group and a student at Gekkoukan High School. Mitsuru is calm, confident, mature, responsible, wise and very intelligent despite being a high school student. However, she may be interpreted as slightly arrogant, conceited, cold-hearted or overconfident. As events unfold, this may be a front of maturity, due to her assumed role as the leader of SEES. Her Persona Arcana is the 03.0Empress, which fits with the "motherly/older sisterly" role she plays in the group. Mitsuru has a streak of strict conduct. Per formal Japanese culture, Mitsuru is the only member of SEES who formally addresses her fellow club mates by their last names (e.g. Yamagishi). Akihiko Sanada is an exception to this, as the two are good friends and have known each other since junior high. Eventually, she becomes more familiar with the other SEES members and refers to Yukari Takeba on a first-name basis, and the others' on occasion. Mitsuru is also very insistent with the team keeping their grades up, going so far as to sign them up for summer classes behind their backs, with the exceptions of Yukari and Fuuka (both of who she claims to have informed beforehand). Mitsuru is also outspoken and has little to no tolerance for prejudice. For example, when the female protagonist is elected leader and Junpei Iori is annoyed because "he's the only guy in the group," Mitsuru sternly tells him that "Whether one is a man or woman doesn't factor into it. The responsibility falls to those who have the gift. And let me add, if you ever say or do anything to condescend to her because she's a woman..." Despite her often getting annoyed at Akihiko's eagerness to fight, Shinjiro Aragaki claims in Persona Q that she "enjoys fighting just as much as he does, if not more." With Junpei noted that she get easily riled up then Akihiko and occasionally shown excitement in trying new things that she is not familiar with such develop a interest learning what a group date is.

Yukari Takeba is a student at Gekkoukan High School and a member of the Specialized Extracurricular Execution Squad. Yukari's Arcana is the Lovers, which focuses on balanced, connected relationships with others and important choices; as such, her personality and story revolve mainly around her relationships. She is very popular in Gekkoukan High due to her pretty looks and cheery, positive outlook on life. However, her kindness has its limits, as she's prone to mood swings and getting annoyed over trivial things, often expressing this annoyance with sarcasm. She likes to tease Junpei, even though she deeply cares for him. Her hobbies include archery and acting for drama, and she eventually makes a career of being an actress as Pink Argus. Her favorite color is pink and she has a fondness for cutesy things such as her heart choker and even maid uniforms. Despite her cheerful exterior, Yukari is secretly a very lonely girl. Although she deeply values bonds and relationships with others, she's afraid of letting anyone get too close to her with fear that they'll find out about her traumatic past. The protagonist is an exception to this, as the two can relate to each other due to their shared losses. It can be heavily implied Yukari has romantic feelings for him. Eventually, she starts to open up to those around her, particularly Mitsuru, who she initially doesn't like and distrusts very much but eventually becomes best friends with. As the Social Link ranks, with you, more specifically the female protagonist she starts to understand what it feels to have a friend her age and gender who understands her and worries about her to even start worrying about other people worrying about her selfishness and her personal problems.

Kasumi Yoshizawa was Sumire Yoshizawa's elder sister. Because Kasumi was deceased right before the events of Persona 5 began, and thus was unable to speak for herself, most of her personality and history are only known by the accounts from Sumire's Confidant, as well as her behavior when she identifies herself as Kasumi. While possessing obviously well-meaning intent on taking care of Sumire, Kasumi could be highly insensitive or oblivious to her younger sister's depression plummeting to near-suicidal levels because of her care. Kasumi is largely implied to have the same personality as the "Kasumi" who is actually Sumire under Maruki's spell, aside that she is much more bold and confident and is fully consistent in her performances and cheerfulness, said to be consistently at top score during gymnastic competitions and would do her best to cheer up her sister or protect her from harm. She was also much more nimble, had a better memory than Sumire and could execute complex gymnast moves without any issues, something that the fake Kasumi cannot do. Sumire had even described her as a "perfect sister." Despite this, Kasumi did have one inferiority compared to her sister; she couldn't cook as well as her. Kasumi was very competitive, and despite Sumire's belief otherwise, considered her younger sister a great rival and was jealous that of her sister's more graceful and delicate moves. According to her coach, Kasumi's confidence came from the energy she put in and keeping Sumire in her mind while performing.

Yukiko Amagi is a second year student at Yasogami High School and one of the protagonist's classmates. Her family runs the Amagi Inn, where she is next in-line as manager. Yukiko is a reserved, soft-spoken and shy girl, having been raised at an early age to be a prim and proper lady of traditional Japanese customs. At school, she is known for scoring well on exams, earning top grades in her class and often studying the material with her best friend since early childhood, Chie Satonaka. She is aware of her high-class reputation in Inaba, being the heiress of one of the town’s main attractions, further encouraging her reserved nature. This proves to be a heavy burden on Yukiko, her responsibilities making her feel as though she is inherently worthless outside of her pretty looks and fulfilled obligations. She doesn't open up to anyone out of fear of being ungrateful and selfish, but internally stresses over the pressure. The push-and-pull of her circumstances cause her to want to "escape" her life and go anywhere else, even putting her friendship with Chie at risk when she realizes that Chie can't fulfill her wish of being saved. After facing her Shadow, the girls tell each-other their true feelings and how isolated they've both felt, breaking the wall that distanced them. Once rescued and returned back home, Yukiko becomes more honest with herself while also accepting the fact she will inherit her family's inn, finding a balance between both worlds. She actively engages with her friends and starts to think on her own terms, sometimes misinterpreting situations and/or laughing uncontrollably at things she finds funny. Yukiko is often noted for her empathy and courage. In contrast to her best friend, she isn't bothered in the slightest by insects and greatly enjoys horror stories.

Makoto Niijima is the younger sister of Sae Niijima and student council president of Shujin Academy and lives a double life as a Phantom Thief. Despite her position as student council president, Makoto is an extremely unpopular student at Shujin Academy. This is because she did nothing to stop Suguru Kamoshida's abuse, resulting in other students labeling her as an arrogant, selfish control freak who knew about the abuse but chose to ignore it because she only cared about getting a good letter of recommendation. The Phantom Thieves initially assume the same of her. In actuality, this happens because Makoto holds no real authority at Shujin, with her position merely making her a glorified tool for the principal to use however he sees fit. In reality, Makoto wanted to do something against Kamoshida, but was too afraid of the principal meddling with her college record in order to protect the P.E. teacher. She also is not above keeping secrets from her friends both out of shame and in order to maintain her image. When Akechi reveals to the group that Sae has a Palace, Makoto admits that she knew as much, and she wanted to go there so Sae might repent, but she kept it a secret because she thought it was "too selfish of a reason." Long before this, this trait led to her hiding the true reason why she didn't stand up against Kamoshida.

Aigis is an Anti-Shadow Suppression Weapon (seemingly the last one in existence) and a member of S.E.E.S. who also attends Gekkoukan High School. She is a machine that gradually awakens to human emotions. Aigis appears as an android with short, blond hair and light blue eyes. Ikutsuki explains that her humanoid shape allows her to process thoughts like a human making it easier to handle a Persona. When she transfers and appears in Gekkoukan High, she wears the generic winter female school uniform, which also includes black knee-length socks and brown loafers, but retains her red ribbon (given by Yuu Kimijima in Aegis: The First Mission) except at the beach excursion in Yakushima, a brief school field trip in Kyoto (in which she wears a haori) and the post-New Year's Day when she wears a kimono at the nearby shrine. Aigis' initial personality is simply a robot designed to obey orders, although she is drawn to the protagonist and states that it is very important for her to be by his side, going so far as to hug them in front of everyone. Her desire to protect the protagonist is so strong, in fact, that she was able to overcome Ikutsuki's programming and free the entire team from their shackles, when Ikutsuki had attempted to sacrifice them to bring forth the Fall. As a result of having no emotions, Aigis' social skills are more-or-less non-existent; it's frequently noted on-screen that while she may look human, she is far from passing as such. She is prone to doing very strange and socially unacceptable things, such as breaking into the protagonist's room to wake him up and requesting to be on standby in their room, which Yukari calls her out for. A video recording shows that she has a habit of breaking into his dorm room at night in order to check on him, even going so far as to keep a record of how long it takes her to pick the lock, In Falling Down, she even goes so far as to sneak into the boys' rooms during the group's stay in Kyoto.

Griseo is one of the Flame-Chasers of the Previous Era, whose sim resides in the Elysian Realm. She is ranked 11th among Flame-Chasers and, as a Pioneer, was in charge of Project ARK to seek another habitable planet for humanity. Griseo was the daughter of Blanca, a lab assistant to Mobius and Ato, a MANTIS soldier and Kosma's senior from the same unit. Although Mobius disapproved of Blanca setting aside her scientific ambitions to start a family with Ato, she was grateful to Blanca for recommending Klein as a replacement before leaving and treated Griseo well. Griseo's father was busy with his duties and not often around, but her mother would bring her to her office, where she got to know Mobius. Although Mobius disliked it, Griseo typically called her "Auntie Mobius." Griseo has very few memories after this, thanks to the 8th Honkai eruption that killed her mother and nearly took her own life. All that she remembers is falling into a deep sleep and waking up to find her parents gone. In a last-ditch effort to save the girl's life, Mobius performed the Meta-Morph surgery on Griseo. Although it was a huge gamble, the surgery was successful and it both gave her a second chance at life and infused her paintbrush with powers[4] such as bringing monsters to life.[citation needed] After the deaths of her parents, Griseo was cared for by Kosma and Aponia, who she affectionately called "Mama Aponia" because she was kind to her like a mother. Griseo is a soft-spoken child, who prefers painting over talking. She likes being alone and in quiet areas where she can focus on her work. She is a bit shy, but talkative about painting when asked about it. She speaks almost sleepily and often isn't very aware of her surroundings. Kosma constantly frets over her because of this. She thinks highly of "Mama Aponia", despite other's trepidations about her. Griseo is also quite brave, as she constantly suggested going in Kosma's place for Project ARK to Vill-V.

Coralie 6626 Planck is an Anti-Entropy member sent out on a Mars expedition alongside Erdős Helia of Schicksal. Coralie was born with dog body parts and her physical development stopped prematurely due to Honkai's influence. Einstein, Tesla and Welt played a guessing game to decide who would adopt Coralie. As Einstein being the winner, she was declared as her adoptive mother. Even though she prefers being referred as sister by Coralie, she feels lucky to be her guardian. In fact, she gave Coralie the last name of Emma Planck, a person so important to Einstein that fulfilled a role of a mother to her. When she turned 17 years old, Coralie achieved her doctoral degree, the same age Einstein did. At present, she's a member of the Mars exploration team along Erdős Helia.

Ann Takamaki is a student at Shujin Academy who lives a double life as a Phantom Thief. After ridden with guilt over her helplessness to protect others and herself, which led to her letting her best friend Shiho Suzui fall victim to Suguru Kamoshida, she would sacrifice herself to support her friends while facing, overcoming and promising not to return back to her old self. Ann is a very kind and compassionate girl, enough for it to be noted by both Morgana and Sojiro Sakura. Years of isolation due to her looks have left her very withdrawn, with the belief that she's lost her place in the world, but this hasn't stopped her from opening up to the people close to her and have fun. She's able to press on without caring about the opinions of others due to her friendship with Shiho Suzui, who was her first real friend in Japan before joining the Phantom Thieves. She is shown to be a good judge of character, as she was the first person able to look past the rumors of the protagonist and see him for who he really is. Her good judgement of others is also shown by her willingness to forgive Makoto after learning her side of the story in the incident with Suguru Kamoshida, namely that she wanted to do something but felt powerless to stop him, having realized it wasn't too different from her own situation. Before this, she also comforts Makoto when she calls herself "scum of the Earth" due to her failure to help Kamoshida's victims, saying that if she really was scum, she wouldn't call herself such. Although Ann is outwardly good and kind-hearted, and she genuinely wishes to help people in need, it comes at the cost of opening up her heart to inherent wrongness, evil and unforgiveness all at the ultimate result of making things better for others. She doesn't lose sight of this worldview for the sake of petty vengeance, especially when against Suguru Kamoshida, a terrible man that would try to hide in shallow honor and goodwill, even trying to offer his life to save himself.

Futaba Sakura is the Navigator of the Phantom Thieves, is different from the main crew of the Phantom Thieves, as prior, she was a shut-in who does not attend school and rarely, if ever, leaves her house. With a case of social anxiety bordering on agoraphobia developed from the trauma of losing her mother Wakaba Isshiki, combined with her generally introverted personality, Futaba is strongly uncomfortable with going outside. When the protagonist first meets her, she is a shut-in who does not attend school and almost never leaves her room. She communicates with the world remotely via the Internet, and her adoptive father Sojiro Sakura enables her lifestyle out of guilt that he could not protect her from trauma. Having disconnected herself from humanity and the world beyond her apartment, Futaba suffers from depression, crippling bouts of anxiety and would freak out instantly when seeing unknown people inside Sojiro's house. When first encountered, Futaba is so consumed with self-loathing that she suppresses her desire to live, causing her Shadow Self to develop a much more helpful personality than average, one who only desires Futaba's happiness. Prior to her Change of Heart, she thinks that her room is the only place she actually feels safe to dwell within due to the frequent hallucinations she has about Wakaba bearing hatred on her. Futaba was quite a lonely child growing up. Part of this was due to her isolation for being a genius, with other students thinking she was a freak due to her eidetic memory (things she's reminded of when she's given a tour of Shujin), while the other part was due to her mother working long hours to support her, meaning the two hardly ever got to spend time together.
