History Characters / Persona3LaterMembers

* AdaptationalRelationshipOverhaul: [[spoiler:In the vanilla release, she was no closer to the protagonist than the male members of S.E.E.S, lacking a Social Link of her own, and her only one-on-one interaction with him was in the ending scene thanks to her having a RippleEffectProofMemory and remembering the events of the Dark Hour. Her characterization was heavily expanded as early as the ''FES'' re-release, which gave her a Social Link and made her a potential LoveInterest, and ''The Answer'' epilogue took things even further by making her the inheritor of the Wild Card from the protagonist. Every further adaptation and re-release has continued to portray her as one of the protagonist's closest confidants and effectively the {{Deuteragonist}} of the story.]]
* AdaptationalSuperpowerChange: In ''Reload'', Palladion/Athena switches (Ma)Sukukaja, God's Hand, and Samarecarm for Primal Force, Resist Phys, and Fast/Insta-Heal.

* ArmCannon: The reason why Aigis is the only character who can wield firearms is that they are attached to her hand.

* DarkIsNotEvil: Koromaru's Persona is Cerberus, the guard dog of Hades -- and here he's a good guy, er, dog.

* DumpStat: His SP pool in ''Reload''. All of his skills run off his HP except Debilitate, [[spoiler:a skill he's unlikely to learn because he learns it at level 59 but dies at a point where you're expected to be at most level 50]].

* FaceDeathWithDignity: [[spoiler:On October 4th, Shinjiro allows Ken the option of killing him for killing his mother two years ago, while also explaining why it's ultimately a waste. Despite this, he doesn't object to Ken's choice, whichever it may be.]]

** In ''Reload'', it's suggested that the reason Koromaru doesn't have a second tier Persona is because Koromaru already went through a life changing event before he met SEES, therefore Cerberus is ''already'' a second tier Persona.

* InterfaceSpoiler: Averted. [[spoiler:His Persona has a full set of skills that it can learn all the way up to and past around level 70, including God Hand. Most of them will likely still not have been learned yet by October 4th, unless the player specifically makes a point of level-grinding him. That being said, him getting skills up to level 70 at all is odd looking since everyone else except Koromaru stops getting new skills at around level 40 (Yukari, Akihiko, Ken) or 50 (Mitsuru, Akihiko, Junpei), or 60 (Aigis), however, Ultimate Personas are only introduced after his death, and despite Koromaru not dying, he doesn't get an Ultimate Persona, so Shinjiro still averts it.]]

* DullSurprise: Rather infamously, her English voice track in the original game and ''FES'' is ''very'' flat and underdelivered. She gets a little better in ''The Answer'' when voicing new content, but her battle lines remain unchanged. Averted in ''Arena'', ''Q'', and ''Reload'' where her new voice actresses gives her far more range.

* BalanceBuff: Oracle has a random status effect on the team, that used to include one where she damages the entire party, leaving them at 1 HP. In ''P3 Portable'', while the status effect is still random, it's only beneficial as the damaging one was removed (Although the game may still say Fuuka damaged everyone). ''Reload'' repurposes Oracle as her Theurgy, swapping out the randomness to something a bit more controlled and only the positive effects, where Oracle and provide a pull party buff, heal the party, or cast a party wide Charge/Concentrate.

* DullSurprise: Rather infamously, her English voice track in the original game and ''FES'' is ''very'' flat and underdelivered. She gets a little better in ''The Answer'' when voicing new content, but her battle lines remain unchanged. Thankfully averted in ''Arena'', ''Q'', and ''Reload'' where her new voice actresses gives her far more range.

* InconsistentSpelling: Her name is listed as "Huka" in the credits, at least, in the bad ending. The musical romanizes her name as "Fuka."

** In ''Reload'''s Expansion Pass trailer, Aigis is shown being able to use Fusion Spells, something she was not able to do in ''FES''.

* CharacterCatchphrase: In ''Reload'', she sometimes adds "As they say," at the end of her sentences. While she said this a few times in ''Q'', it's a much more prominent catchphrase in ''Reload''.

* JackOfAllTrades: Her strengths generally lay in her ability to provide the Kaja series of party buffs, negate party debuffs and provide some healing support. She's also a decent physical attacker and has a fairly robust stat line, making her more difficult to take down than many flimsier party members like Yukari or Ken.

* RoboSpeak: Her speech starts out extremely stilted and robotic (in the English version, anyway). Sort of like [=GlaDOS=] without the filter.

* VerbalTic: In the Japanese version, she ends her sentence with the formal and rarely used "de arimasu". The English voice has her speak with robotic pauses that clear the more human she becomes. In the English dub of ''Q'' and ''Reload'', she instead ends her sentences with "as they say" after mentioning a common turn of phrase (even if she sometimes hears it from [[PluckyComicRelief Junpei]] first).

In ''Reload'', completing his Linked Episode events ends with him giving his old collar to the male protagonist, allowing him to fuse Byakko.

In the female protagonist's path in the PSP remake, Ken replaces Chihiro for the Justice Social Link. The interactions deal with him overcoming his buried resentment over his mother's passing, his childish tendencies versus his desire to be seen as an adult, and as a romantic option. The English release downplays this aspect of the relationship, however.

In ''Reload'', completing his Linked Episode events ends with him giving the silver key to his old house to the male protagonist, allowing him to fuse Michael.

After maxing his S.Link, the female can start a romantic relationship with him by talking to him again -- although she will have to be ''very'' persistent with her feelings to overcome his reluctance.

* AdaptationalSuperPowerChange: A downplayed case since his skills are still foccused on physical attacks, but noticeably one of his late game skills in ''Reload'' is Debilitate, a debuffing spell that lowers the opponent's attack, defense and accuracy, which is very noticeable since he claims he doesn't do support, and in the original he got no buffing or debuffing skills of any kind. Perhaps this is representing his own potential to change and become more of a team player.

* InterfaceSpoiler: Averted. [[spoiler:His Persona has a full complement of skills that it can learn all the way up to and past around level 70, including God Hand. Most of them will likely still not have been learned yet by October 4th, unless the player specifically makes a point of level-grinding him. That being said, him getting skills up to level 70 at all is odd looking since everyone else except Koromaru stops getting new skills at around level 40 (Yukari, Akihiko, Ken) or 50 (Mitsuru, Akihiko, Junpei), or 60 (Aigis), however, Ultimate Personas are only introduced after his death, and despite Koromaru not dying, he doesn't get an Ultimate Persona, so Shinjiro still averts it.]]

** In the film adaptation, he makes a meal for Koromaru and is visibly sweating bullets when he is caught by Aigis when he sees that she's been watching the entire time. When Makoto and Ken return, Aigis and Koromaru end up spilling the beans, with Shinjiro trying to stop what they're talking about and hide his apron.
* WhenAllYouHaveIsAHammer: In battle, he's pretty much only capable of one thing: hitting things REALLY hard. He does a ''very'' good job of it, though. Incidentally, his weapons in ''Q'' are hammers.

* BalanceBuff: Oracle has a random status effect on the team, that used to include one where she damages the entire party, leaving them at 1 HP. In ''P3 Portable'', while the status effect is still random, it's only beneficial as the damaging one was removed (Although the game may still say Fuuka damaged everyone).

* InconsistentSpelling: Her name is listed as "Huka" in the credits, at least, in the [[http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-721759465236681969&hl=en bad ending]]. The musical romanizes her name as "Fuka."
* InformedAttribute: Junpei says that Fuuka has an angelic voice. Riiiight. This could just be Junpei being Junpei, though. Far more so with her original English voice than her Japanese voice (Namiko Noto).

* PromotedToPlayable: ''VideoGame/Persona3DancingInMoonlight'', marks the first time Fuuka is playable, after remaining in the sidelines in other spin-off games.

* TheThreeFacesOfEve: The Child to Elizabeth's Wife and [[spoiler:Nyx's]] Seductress

* YoungerThanTheyLook: Aigis may have the appearance of a young woman, she is actually about 10 years old at the time of the game.

[[folder:Aigis ('''Unmarked Spoilers for ''The Answer''''')]]

* [[NonActionGuy Non-Action Girl]]: In terms of combat ability, she's the least able out of all of the female members of SEES, as her Persona specifically relies on observation and prediction rather than fighting. Interestingly, this applies to pure physical ability as well, as Mitsuru is a fencer, Yukari is an archer, and Aigis and Metis are both combat cyborgs, while Fuuka is a shy computer geek with a weak constitution.

* SignatureMove: Athena's unique skill in ''[[VideoGame/Persona5 Persona 5 Royal]]'' is Akashic Arts, which deals up to twice the amount of severe Physical damage to all enemies and has a high critical rate.

Every further adaptation and re-release has continued to portray her as one of the protagonist's closest confidants and effectively the {{Deuteragonist}} of the story.]]

* {{Deuteragonist}}: Despite her lack of screentime till around November, Aigis is the second most important character in terms of the overall story of ''Persona 3'', [[spoiler:as she sets the story in motion with her battle against Death ten years prior and sees her seal the powerful Shadow in TheHero]], which also serves to give S.E.E.S. any kind of chance of saving the world through this action. In addition to being the PlayableEpilogue of the game, ''The Answer'' is also fully her story and involves her coming to terms with her role in the plot and how to live [[spoiler:past the protagonists death and coming into her own as the successor to his power and role]].

* {{Foil}}: To Akinari, especially if you play as the female protagonist in ''Portable'' or do his Link events in ''Reload''. They're similar in that both mostly quiet loners. [[spoiler:They've both accepted that they're going to die early. Not to mention that the two of them are plagued with physical problems.]] Now, in turn, Akinari is frail and was born so; while Shinjiro is not only capable of combat, but is also one of S.E.E.S. strongest members, [[spoiler:his ailments are also a direct by-product of being given a Persona as opposed to anything natural, with his lifespan also decreasing with repeated usage of the suppressants]]. Akinari is incredibly intelligent and has a manner of speech that requires the protagonist to be rather well-learned just to comprehend; Shinjiro, who is by no means dumb, is far more blunt and direct with little patience for mincing words. Finally, and this is specific to the female protagonist, Akinari [[spoiler:dies no matter what happens; Shinjiro on the other hand, can be saved if special conditions are met]]. Fittingly enough, for the female protagonist, Shinjiro takes the position as the ''Moon'' Arcana to Akinari's ''Sun'' Arcana.

** [[spoiler:His Link Event in ''Reload'' is also the only one other than Junpei's that can result in differing outcomes, though unlike in ''Portable'' you can't save his life. Instead, the final decision you make in his Linked Episode chain determines whether or not you unlock the Hell Biker Persona fusion.]]

** Averted for the male protagonist in ''Reload'' where his Link Events expand on his other relationships as well as what he was like while he was still active in SEES.
