History Characters / PersonaRebirthTaiyoutono

* AntiquatedLinguistics: Kuzuki speaks in an archaic and flowery way with sparing use of contractions. This is meant to emulate the speech patterns of [[UsefulNotes/JapaneseLanguage keigo]] and to characterize him as polite, if somewhat rigid.
* BlackAndWhiteInsanity: While Kuzuki's moral compass works fine, his standards for what counts as "evil" are too stringent and he firmly believes FreudianExcuseIsNoExcuse to the point where he has problems sympathizing with "bad" people.

* {{Bokukko}}: Despite her feminine appearance and being a model, she somehow addresses herself with [[UsefulNotes/JapanesePronouns boku]].

* {{Bokukko}}: Specifically uses the pronoun "boku".

Isoroku Mayoi is a third-year student of Taiyoutono High School who's well-known for being a part-time FashionModel, though prior to her awakening as a Persona-user, she was a shy, withdrawn girl. A lot of things happened in a few months after her awakening, though most of those events were never [[NoodleIncident specified]] due to the reboot.

* {{Bokukko}}: Despite her feminine appearance and being a FashionModel, she somehow addresses herself with [[UsefulNotes/JapanesePronouns boku]].

* FashionModel: Isoroku moonlights as a part-time model, which makes her a minor celebrity of sorts.

* MsFanservice: Being a FashionModel, she definitely doesn't mind showing herself off. She's also noted for having quite a nice-looking figure.

* WidowWoman: Her Persona mask is a black hat with a veil, representing how much the loss of her husband has affected her life.

* NiceHat: Her beret.

* KnifeNut: Uses a knife in hand to hand fights.

[[quoteright:125:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/manabu_tropes_5429.png]]

Due to the murmurings of his Persona, Manabu began to suffer from noticeable SanitySlippage, ending in an attempt to live in the Ruins and the [[EyeScream removal of one of his eyes]]. After being saved from imminent death, Manabu began to make attempts to improve himself, eventually ascending into Kuranes. Since then, he's been a consistent ally to the Persona community, working as a Bedlam administrator and leading several efforts to understand the Ruins better.

[[quoteright:119:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/kaede_tropes_copy_6517.png]]

After awakening to her [[{{Seer}} future sight]] abilities, Kaede returned to the community, though no longer in a leadership position.

* {{Seer}}: Developed future sight abilities a few months after gaining her Persona. A trip to the Inverted World gone wrong revealed that they have ''something'' to do with whatever's in the sky there.

A perky first-year at Taiyoutono with a penchant for books and wordplay. Mami is a very friendly and approachable individual with an interest in language and literature, to the point where she shamelessly incorporates puns, metaphors, and other forms of wordplay into her speech quite frequently. Despite her cheeriness, her gender is a rather sensitive issue due to her being {{Transgender}} and not having come out as such to her parents yet.

* OfficialCouple: With Shinobu.

* {{Transgender}}: Mami is trans and has trouble expressing as such, being one of her character struggles. Luckily, she has supportive people (including a good boyfriend) to help her through it.

* AbusiveParents: Her parents didn't ''physically'' abuse her, but they were so focused on her success that they ended up molding their kid into something little better than a machine.

* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Tsukkomi has developed into this, being softer than before (though still with a sarcastic edge). This is likely due to Boke's death.

!! Kameko Akibara
[[quoteright:100:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/kameko.png]]
->'''Arcana:''' XVII - The Star
->'''Persona:''' [[Myth/SlavicMythology Gamayun]]
->'''Played by:''' Shademaster

->''"I'm always here to help!"''

The Student Council secretary at Taiyoutono High School. Kameko is a very intelligent and studious young lady who loves learning more about the world and always has a smile on her face. While she can be a bit reckless and carefree, and is also a bit of a pushover at times, she's charismatic and is always willing to lend a helping hand to those willing to talk to her.

* TheAce: Kameko's a remarkably skilled and intelligent individual.
* AllLovingHero: Kind and understanding to just about everyone, even [[ButtMonkey Ren]].
* BadassBookworm: A smart student who can hold her own in a Persona fight.
* {{Bookworm}}: She loves books and brings them up in a few threads, usually as a bonding point.
* ColorMotif: Light green.
* TheCutie: Adorable, friendly, and very likeable.
* TheGenericGuy: Her "gimmick" compared to her roleplayer's other characters is... not having a gimmick. Kameko is just an ordinary student.
* GenkiGirl: Always has a certain perkiness about her.
* GoGetterGirl: She always strives to be the best she can be.
* GreenThumb: While she doesn't have plant-based powers, her mask is tree themed.
* HiddenDepths: Despite being normally friendly and fun to be around, Kameko can be surprisingly anxious and neurotic, especially when it comes to matters she considers important. She nearly has a panic attack over losing her secretary notes for Student Council. Plus, see StepfordSmiler down below.
* NiceGirl: Sweet, energetic, and friendly.
* OnlySaneWoman: A running joke is that she's Shademaster's only "normal" character. Generally she plays this to the people she interacts with as well.
* PluckyGirl: Even in grim situations, she tries to stay positive. This includes during her ''awakening''.
* RedMage: She uses half offensive skills and half support skills.
* RobotBuddy: Kameko's Persona, Gamayun, takes the form of a robot bird.
* TheSmartGirl: She's very intelligent, even having a position on Student Council.
* StepfordSmiler:
** Normally downplayed, but when she feels hurt or insulted, she tends to just laugh it off a bit awkwardly before trying to push on as if nothing happened. Her cheer is genuine, though.
** This is becoming stronger as things go on; in conversations with Ren she reveals that the Persona stuff is [[BreakTheCutie slowly wearing her down]].
* TheTease: A fairly flirty person at heart.

!! Manabu Kamachi
[[quoteright:125:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/manabu_tropes_5429.png]]
->'''Arcana:''' XVIII - The Moon
->'''Persona:''' [[Creator/HPLovecraft Cyaegha]], [[Franchise/CthulhuMythos Kuranes]]
->'''Played by:''' [=FirebreathFishslap=]

Manabu is the one and only member of the Occult Club at Taiyoutono, a club dedicated to seeking out the strange, mystical things in everyday life. At the start of the story, he was well known for being a stalker and was rumored to have followed several girls home and around school.

Due to the murmurings of his Persona, Manabu began to suffer from noticeable SanitySlippage, ending in an attempt to live in the Ruins and the [[EyeScream removal of one of his eyes]]. After being saved from imminent death, Manabu began to make attempts to improve himself, eventually ascending into Kuranes. Since then, he's been a consistent ally to the Persona community, working as a Bedlam administrator and leading several efforts to understand the Ruins better.

* AbusiveParents: Manabu's parents got divorced when he was in middle school, leaving him to live with his alcoholic father. Since then, he's been regularly beaten for the slightest infractions, including at least one attempted strangling and Manabu being shoved into a glass case when he was younger, which then shattered and left scars across his back.
* CharacterizationMarchesOn: Manabu pre-reboot and Manabu post-reboot may as well be two completely different characters, as several defining events to his character did not happen post-reboot.
* CheshireCatGrin: Constantly. It's one of his more notable physical characteristics.
* DespairEventHorizon: Twice -- first, after he's kicked out of his home and runs away to the Ruins, and second, after his father commits suicide.
* DoesntLikeGuns: Gets jumpy around guns, likely due to the fact that his father was a cop.
* DullEyesOfUnhappiness: He's usually drawn with these, though there's been rare exceptions.
* FreudianExcuse: Manabu was constantly abused by his parents (and still is abused by his father, now that his parents have divorced) as a child, and frequently bullied in grade school for his [[{{Gonk}} froglike]] appearance, leading to his extreme self-esteem issues and cowardice, which in turn led to all of his problems with his Persona.
* {{Gonk}}: His slightly out of proportion features, plus the large shadows under his eyes and the large grin give him a frog-like look.
* InSeriesNickname: If someone doesn't know Manabu's name, then they certainly know his nickname, Frogface. He's not very fond of it, though.
* KillTheGod: Intends to do this to the Butterfly.
* MeaningfulName: "Manabu" means "study; learn", which is certainly something he spends a lot of time doing, particularly in regards to other people in his school. "Kamachi" uses the kanji for bullrushes and ponds. In short, he's a smart frog.
* SanitySlippage: After awakening to Cyaegha. Eventually got better.

!! Nana Samurakami
[[quoteright:180:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/nana_tropes_5443.png]]

->'''Persona:''' [[Myth/JapaneseMythology Izanami]]
->'''Played by:''' [=FirebreathFishslap=]

Nana is an infamous former [[JapaneseDelinquent sukeban]], and student of Taiyoutono. Once one of the most feared delinquents in the school, she went straight after her father was killed in a car accident. After receiving her Persona, she starts acting as a mentor to Ryuunosuke.

After the Park Incident, Nana returned to her own gang to find the culprits. Shortly after her return, however, her ex-girlfriend was killed in the Ruins, and shortly after that, an old friend of hers disappeared from the city, sending Nana into a deep depression.

During January of 2014, Nana was found in a coma in the Ruins, with her sword gone and covered in blood. In truth, she had discovered that her old friend had died in the Ruins and reanimated as a monstrous Shadow, and she intended to give him a mercy kill... only for him to defeat her instead. Though her life was saved, she spent several months in that coma. Though she has since woken up, she intends to finish the job that she started once more, no matter how painful it is to do...

Her Persona is [[Myth/JapaneseMythology Izanami]] of the Death Arcana.

* BigSisterMentor: Takes it upon herself to be this for Ryuunosuke.
* JapaneseDelinquents: Formerly, anyways. She's still known as both "Wooden Sword" Nana and Lady Banchou among delinquent circles.
* KatanasAreJustBetter: Sincerely believes this, but lacks the funds to actually buy one, which leads to...
** WoodenKatanasAreEvenBetter
** Eventually did get a katana, but hasn't used one since it broke.
* KansaiRegionalAccent: Hails from Osaka, and has a very noticeable Kansai accent because of it.
* KilledOffForReal: Famously pre-reboot, when she and Aleksandria [[MutualKill dueled in the Ruins.]]
* {{Otaku}}: Self admitted Samurai Otaku, though it may be more accurate to describe her as a samurai wannabe.
* PeekABangs: Usually wears her hair over one eye. It's to look cool more than anything else.
* TheIdiotFromOsaka: Tends to come off as this to her classmates, due to her insistence on using a Kansai dialect despite living in Nagashima.
* TheLadette: Well known for her masculine demeanor, hobbies, and predilection toward very physical combat. Recent events have caused her to have to calm down a bit, since she can't really fight people as much now that she needs a cane.
* WellIntentionedExtremist: Has strong tendencies toward this. Pre-reboot, it was what led her to create her proto-yakuza group to control Nagashima's inner city.
* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: Though it's easy to believe her green hair is dyed due to her delinquent nature, it's actually completely natural.

[[folder:Year 3 Students]]

!'''Kuzuki Harada'''
->'''Arcana:''' IV - The Emperor
->'''Persona:''' [[Literature/TheSagaOfTheVolsungs Grani]]
->'''Played by:''' Icarael

A young man who strives to be the best at whatever he sets his mind to, Kuzuki transferred to Taiyoutono a year after his father's death. Two years later, he's part of the kendo team and the Student Council. There's a reason why he's an overachiever: it's all a way of earning his late father's love and approval by trying to live up to the expectations he thinks his father had for him... and to guard against painful feelings of emptiness and worthlessness.

* AcademicAthlete: He's got good grades in school and a spot on Taiyoutono's kendo team.
* AntiquatedLinguistics: Kuzuki speaks in an archaic and flowery way with sparing use of contractions. This is meant to emulate the speech patterns of {{Keigo}} and to characterize him as polite, if somewhat rigid.
* BlackAndWhiteInsanity: While Kuzuki's moral compass works fine, his standards for what counts as "evil" are too stringent and he firmly believes FreudianExcuseIsNoExcuse to the point where he has problems sympathizing with "bad" people.
* BrokenAce: Kuzuki is a law-abiding citizen, a model student, an active participant in the kendo team and the Student Council... and a young man struggling with feelings of emptiness, self-hatred, and [[BlackAndWhiteInsanity profoundly disordered thinking]].
* CannotTalkToWomen: A downplayed example in that Kuzuki can talk to women just fine.. as long as it's within the bounds of friendship, family, or business. When he gets complimented or hit on, he becomes a tongue-tied, awkward mess.
* CharacterizationMarchesOn: With the removal of the "Russians" StoryArc and the toning-down of the Ruwashi Park Incident, much of Kuzuki's character arc pre-reboot was removed. As a result, he never went down the darker path he did and stays a lot friendlier.
* CharacterTics: Kuzuki grinds his teeth when angered or stressed.
* DisappearedDad: His father, a policeman, died while trying to arrest a spree killer.
* ElementalPowers:
** ShockAndAwe: Grani's main elemental specialty lies in the Zio (electric) branch of magic.
** LightEmUp: Grani's second elemental specialty.
* JackOfAllTrades: Grani has physical and magical attack skills, buffs, and anti-status-effect spells; allowing him to have a skill for any situation.
* OrdinaryHighSchoolStudent: One of the few in Taiyoutono before he, too, got sucked into the Ruins.
* OurCentaursAreDifferent: Grani is an [[NinjaPirateZombieRobot armored robotic centaur spirit]].
* PillarsOfMoralCharacter: Much of Kuzuki's character is defined by the concept of ''giri''. As Grani told him upon his awakening, he has a task to use his powers to defend Nagashima-- and it is something he cannot simply refuse. Kuzuki is also driven by a sense of ''on'', in the sense that since he has been given great power, he must exercise responsibility in its use by wielding the power of Persona to benefit society and rein in those who go against it.
* ResignedToTheCall: Kuzuki still doesn't know why he of all people was "chosen". He fights on anyway, because he believes it's what's right.
* SadlyMythcharacterized: Grani was not a centaur in the original [[Literature/TheSagaOfTheVolsungs Völsunga saga]]. That detail was invented by the [=RPer=] for RuleOfCool-related reasons.
* StatusBuff: Grani has all of the -kaja spells with the exception of Rakukaja (Defense buff). Instead, he has Safeguard, which buffs his own defense and forces him to [[TakingTheBullet take attacks for one ally]].
* WakeUpGoToSchoolSaveTheWorld: Deconstructed, as Kuzuki's attempts to be a part-time hero alienate him from his family and leaves him little time for socialization.
* WellDoneSonGuy: Kuzuki's relentless drive to please his father is his most obvious motivation for becoming TheAce. The only problem with this is that his father is dead, which has left him without a purpose in life.

!! Isoroku Mayoi
[[quoteright:170:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/cropped_isoroku.jpg]]
->'''Arcana:''' II - The Priestess
->'''Persona:''' [[Theatre/{{Faust}} Gretchen]]
->'''Played by:''' Prince Arjuna

Isoroku Mayoi is a third-year student of Taiyoutono High School who's well-known for being a part-time FashionModel, though prior to her awakening as a Persona-user, she was a shy, withdrawn girl. A lot of things happened in a few months after her awakening, though most of those events were never [[NoodleIncident specified]] due to the reboot.

Isoroku's Persona is [[Theatre/{{Faust}} Gretchen]] of the Priestess Arcana. She is a relatively experienced Persona-user, though she seems to prefer staying at the sideline rather than getting herself involved in the current events that have been happening in Nagashima. Though that seems to be changing these days.

* BlowYouAway: Specializes in wind, or Garu skills. She uses it as a means to attack and to give herself a little boost while moving.
* {{Bokukko}}: Despite her feminine appearance and being a FashionModel, she somehow addresses herself with [[UsefulNotes/JapanesePronouns boku]].
* BoyishShortHair: Isoroku's hair is pretty short, though she's still pretty girly. She used to have long hair when she first got her Persona, though.
* BystanderSyndrome: Isoroku prefers to not get too involved in most big events happening in Nagashima, due to her wanting to live a normal life.
* CharmPerson: Knows Marin Karin where she can charm Shadows or other people to do her bidding, though she rarely uses it due to it being a UselessUsefulSpell.
* CoolSword: Has a sword that she dubs Nekosword, a shortsword with a cat's head pommel and is quite brightly-colored. It has no special properties other than being adorable.
* ExtremeDoormat: She's a little bit of a pushover, and she is easy to overwhelm, especially by those with strong or willful personalities. A leftover of her old self when she was still a withdrawn girl.
* FashionModel: Isoroku moonlights as a part-time model, which makes her a minor celebrity of sorts.
* FragileSpeedster: She usually wears light clothing that allows great mobility in exchange of defense. While she's pretty quick on her feet, she's not too good at taking hits.
* HealingHands: Capable of using Dia to heal wounds.
* IJustWantToBeNormal: While she doesn't have problem with her power as a Persona-user, Isoroku prefers living a normal life. This makes her hesitant to involve herself in the big events that have been occurring in Nagashima, giving her a case of BystanderSyndrome and RefusalOfTheCall.
* MsFanservice: Being a FashionModel, she definitely doesn't mind showing herself off. She's also noted for having quite a nice-looking figure.
* NiceGirl: Isoroku means well and is polite towards others.
* PinkMeansFeminine: While her picture above doesn't show her wearing anything pink, most of her artworks feature her wearing pink. Also, [[PaintingTheMedium her dialogue speeches are colored pink.]]
* RefusalOfTheCall: [[DownplayedTrope Downplayed.]] While she's willing to enter the ruins to rescue people who are spirited away by the Butterfly, she is not interested in assisting those who are currently dealing with the current events happening in Nagashima. Also a case of BystanderSyndrome.

!! Kaede Susaki
[[quoteright:119:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/kaede_tropes_copy_6517.png]]
->'''Arcana:''' X - Wheel of Fortune
->'''Persona:''' [[Myth/NorseMythology Skuld]], [[Myth/NorseMythology Skadi]]

Kaede Susaki is a sailor-mouthed, asocial artist who is best known for causing problems among the student populace, being an all-around {{Jerkass}}, and also for formerly leading a large group of Persona users in Nagashima. She prefers to dress androgynously and is often mistaken as a man as a result.

Though Kaede initially scoffed at the Butterfly rumors, she eventually found herself caught up in them during the early days of the site, and reluctantly took on the responsibility of leading the Persona-users in those early days. However, the strain of the role and the things that she could not control took their toll on her, and after the Park Incident, she stepped down from her role and left the community for a time.

After awakening to her [[{{Seer}} future sight]] abilities, Kaede returned to the community, though no longer in a leadership position.

* BerserkButton: Kaede has a whole keyboard's worth.
* {{Bifauxnen}}: Well known for her masculine demeanor and appearance.
* BlowYouAway: Initially specialized in wind skills. After ascending, she became AnIcePerson
* {{Bokukko}}: Specifically uses the pronoun "boku".
* {{Expy}}: of [[VideoGame/{{Persona 4}} Naoto]] in appearance only.
* HealingHands: One of her Persona's other main abilities.
* KnifeNut: Uses a knife in hand to hand fights.
* NiceHat: Her beret.
* RefusalOfTheCall: She didn't initially plan on returning to the Ruins. It was only after it became clear that some Persona users were going to misuse their abilities that she did so.
* {{Seer}}: Developed future sight abilities a few months after gaining her Persona. A trip to the Inverted World gone wrong revealed that they have ''something'' to do with whatever's in the sky there.

!! Makoto Nakagawa
->'''Arcana:''' IV - The Emperor
->'''Persona:''' [[UsefulNotes/TheRomanRepublic Remus]], [[UsefulNotes/TheRomanRepublic Brutus]]

The other member of a set of identical twins, Makoto is casual about life and love. He and his brother are orphans and moved through foster homes for years before finally being adopted by the wealthy Nakagawa family to serve as their heirs.

He's a bit of a charmer and popular with Taiyoutono's female students, and, like his brother, used to be a member of the Student Council. His only goal in life is to live comfortably -- the way he sees it, the hardest parts of his life are now over, so he just needs to maintain his quiet life. However, beneath this all is a deep resentment -- despite all of the success he's had in his life, he feels like no one takes him seriously. Because of this, he has a tendency toward anti-social and downright sociopathic behavior.

* CainAndAbel: The Cain to Yu's Abel.
* CurtainsMatchTheWindow: His eyes and hair are both grey.
* FreudianExcuse: Grew up in the foster system and wasn't adopted until he was well within his teenage years. His cheery mask developed as a way to try and endear others toward him and
* PeekABangs: Wears his hair over his left eye. When he swaps with Yu, he flips it.
* SiblingYinYang: His outward personality is the complete opposite of Yu's, being rather warm and friendly, whereas Yu is cold and unconforming. When their true selves come though, though, they tend to match up more than you'd think.
* TwinSwitch: Does this frequently with Yu.

!! Yu Nakagawa

->'''Persona:''' [[UsefulNotes/TheRomanRepublic Romulus]], [[UsefulNotes/TheRomanRepublic Cincinnatus]]
->'''Played by:''' [=FirebreathFishslap=]

One member of a set of identical twins, Yu is an uptight enforcer of school rules and a former member of the Student Council. He and his brother are orphans and moved through foster homes for years before finally being adopted by the wealthy Nakagawa family to serve as their heirs. Though Yu is content with the role that his family has set out for him, stressors in his life nonetheless serve to complicate his quiet life.

* BigBrotherInstinct: Does whatever he can to protect and help Makoto. However, this tendency of his is why Makoto's so irritated with him -- he doesn't want to be under his brother's leash anymore.
* CainAndAbel: The Abel to Makoto's Cain.
* CurtainsMatchTheWindow: His eyes and hair are both grey.
* FreudianExcuse: Grew up in the foster system and wasn't adopted until he was well within his teenage years. His aloof personality developed as a way to keep from being thrown away by whatever family took him in.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Considered a complete douchebag by just about everyone, but genuinely cares for his brother and tends to soften up a bit when around Miyuki and Seiji (who are probably his only friends).
* PeekABangs: Wears his hair over his right eye. When he swaps with Makoto, he flips it.
* SiblingYinYang: His outward personality is the complete opposite of Makoto's, being rather cold and unconforming, whereas Makoto is warm and friendly. When their true selves come though, though, they tend to match up more than you'd think.
* TwinSwitch: Does this frequently with Makoto.

!! Yuuma Tokunaga
[[quoteright:163:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/yuuma_3.png]]
->'''Arcana:''' XV - The Devil
->'''Persona:''' [[Literature/TheMasqueOfTheRedDeath The Red Death]]
->'''Played by:''' Shademaster

->''"Human minds are twisted, you know... everyone acts pleasant, but more often than not, they hide some of the most vile things underneath their day-to-day facades."''

A refined gentleman who has an air of intelligence about him. Yuuma initially seems like an average guy and has a very polite demeanor, but in reality he hides a twisted mind and a fascination with the darker sides of humanity. Despite this, he's not really that bad, as none of his actions are done with malice - and he is ultimately on the side of the Persona users, despite his odd hobbies and creepiness.

* BedsheetGhost: Red Death is a dark take on this - the bedsheet is a ''funeral shroud''.
* BewareTheNiceOnes: Despite his creepiness, Yuuma's actually a fairly pleasant and normal person to be around. It's telling when his response to Touma disappearing is asking where he went in the most TranquilFury tone possible.
* CastingAShadow: Red Death has access to the Curse element.
* ColorMotif: Crimson/red.
* TheComicallySerious: Tends to invoke this by being almost stubbornly polite. He's also a fan of Featherman, only adding to this.
* CreepyGood: Disturbing? Yes. Bad? Far from it.
* DarkIsNotEvil: Despite having a macabre aesthetic and a Persona with access to [[CastingAShadow Curse spells]], Yuuma is unfailingly polite and is working with the Persona community as best he can.
* {{Fanboy}}: Amusingly, yes. He's met not one, not two, but ''three'' people that sent him into fanboy mode... [[TheComicallySerious and he still makes an attempt to maintain dignity]].
* GentlemanAndAScholar: He's very polite and intelligent, horror shtick aside.
* HiddenDepths: He's stated in a Bedlam thread that he'd like to try creative writing. Given how this is Yuuma, this could turn out... interestingly.
* HumansAreBastards: His whole thing is that he believes humans are naturally twisted people at heart. Unlike most examples, however, he sees this as a good thing, believing that each person's vices make them unique.
* IntriguedByHumanity: He's fascinated by the darker sides of other people.
* MindOverMatter: Red Death has Psi as one of its attacking moves.
* NightmareFetishist: He makes no attempt to hide his interest in horror material and the twisted nature of humanity.
* SharpDressedMan: He's a very smart dresser.
* StoicSpectacles: He's cool as a cucumber and wears glasses.
* TookALevelInKindness: He's become a ''lot'' nicer ever since he awakened; before he used to be outright AffablyEvil, but now he's firmly good, if not creepy about it. Part of this is because his roleplayer wasn't satisfied with his original personality and decided to ease him up a bit to make him more comfortable to write.
* {{Troll}}: A bit. He carries around the headphones that Touma tried to steal specifically so he can rub it in Touma's face when they meet up again.

->'''Arcana:''' VI - The Lovers
->'''Persona:''' [[Myth/ClassicalMythology Circe]]
->'''Played by:''' Espi

->''"Not to mention, what kind of woman wants to be seen in a black veil like this?"''

Naoko teaches literature to third year students at Taiyoutono, as well as being the homeroom teacher for class 3-2. Born to a wealthy businessman, Naoko’s life was carefully planned out for her by her parents to ensure she meet their traditional views of a ‘proper’ daughter and wife. When her husband died suddenly, she was forced to finally start making her own decisions and becoming her own person, starting by becoming a teacher.

* AntiquatedLinguistics: Kuzuki speaks in an archaic and flowery way with sparing use of contractions. This is meant to emulate the very polite speech patterns of {{Keigo}} and to characterize him as polite, if somewhat rigidly so.

* CannotTalkToWomen: A downplayed example in that Kuzuki can talk to women just fine... as long as it's within the bounds of friendship, family, or business. When he gets complimented or hit on, he becomes a tongue-tied, awkward mess.

* BlowYouAway: Specialized in wind, or Garu skills. She uses it as a means to attack and to give herself a little boost while moving.
