Yuina's best (and, before the fanfiction properly starts, [[OnlyFriend only]]) friend. Kanako is a fellow first year at Youkou; she befriended Yuina one day through unknown circumstances and the two have been close ever since. Kanako is very sweet, gentle, and empathetic, and helps to reel in Yuina when she's being insensitive - while Yuina in turn helps her stay in reality when she's seeing the world through rose-colored glasses.
Kanako is a unique teammate in that she's lacking in a Persona - on top of that, due to being Yuina's friend, her Social Link is the only one to start before she joins the party. She instead assists the group through outside means such as researching their targets or taking notes on various situations.

!! Yuina Hisakawa
->'''Arcana:''' The Fool
->'''Persona:''' [[Literature/TheCatcherInTheRye Caulfield]]
->'''Weapons:''' [[BatterUp Baseball Bats]]
->''"First year of high school and I'm already smashing demons flat? Not bad."''
The main character of the fanfiction. Yuina is a first year student just starting at Youkou High School, having lived in Okabe for several years. Yuina is reckless, impulsive, and somewhat lacking in social skills; despite this, her natural talent for battling Shadows coupled with her street smarts, Wild Card abilities, and generally upbeat nature make her an easy candidate for the leader of her Shadow fighting team, the Timekeepers.\\\
Like Rina before her, Yuina is aligned with the Fool Arcana, and can use multiple Personas. Her primary Persona is Caulfield, named after Holden Caulfield from Literature/TheCatcherInTheRye. Holden was a moody teenager with a cynical edge and loads of psychological trouble who nonetheless had a heart of gold deep down. As a Persona, Caulfield takes the form of a metal-skinned humanoid with casual clothing that hides most of his body, glowing green eyes, and shoulder pauldrons with steel spikes.
----
* ActionGirl: She fits the trope even more than Rina; she adjusts to Shadow fighting extremely quickly, and is never afraid to step into the fray.
* AntiHero: A fairly violent person with good intentions nonetheless and a close friendship with Kanako
* BatterUp: Wields baseball bats as her main weapon of choice.
* BecauseYouWereNiceToMe: Sums up a good portion of her friendship with Kanako; due to how nicely Kanako treats Yuina, she's fiercely protective of her and values her almost like one would a [[LesYay lover]].
* BloodKnight: Best shown in her EstablishingCharacterMoment. Yuina is actually ''eager'' to fight two people picking on Kanako for being a freshman, and when they back down she expresses disappointment to her friend. She also fights Shadows entirely for the adrenaline rush.
* BrutalHonesty: She doesn't really mince words.
* CombatPragmatist: Yuina actually doesn't use her Persona that often, instead relying on using anything she can to her advantage - surprise hits, the environment... whatever she has at her disposal, she'll use it.
* ContrastingSequelMainCharacter: She's nearly the complete opposite of Rina. A list of just ''some'' differences:
** Their personalities are almost completely different. Rina is elegant and polite; Yuina is casual and brash.
** Rina's parents are long deceased by the time the story begins, and she's taken care of by an older sibling; Yuina's parents are alive and well, and she's an only child.
** Even their appearances are opposite - Rina dresses primarily in light colors - white, peach, beige, and light gray. Yuina dresses in blacks and deep reds (albeit with some whites in there). Rina is fairly tall at 5'8", while Yuina's a shorter 5'4". Rina has a more slender, elegant build, while Yuina's muscular and tough-looking.
** Their Personas specialize in opposite elements, with opposite weaknesses - Gilgamesh uses ice and is weak to fire, while Caulfield uses fire and is weak to ice. Speaking of, they're opposite in personality in a similar manner - Gilgamesh was magnificently over-the-top and bombastic with an ego to his name while Caulfield is subdued and tends to degrade himself frequently.
** Rina confronts her Shadow directly without a fight, standing up to it verbally. Yuina just straight up beats the crap out of Shadow Yuina instead.
* CuttingTheKnot: Instead of confronting her Shadow properly, what does Yuina do to get her Persona? She ''beats the shit out of her Shadow until it gives up''.
* DeadpanSnarker: One thing she ''does'' share with Rina is her penchant for sarcasm - in fact, she's probably even more vocally dry than her predecessor!
* {{Delinquent}}: She's narrowly avoided being kicked out of several different schools due to her violent disposition.
* FaceOfAThug: Despite being short, she's naturally intimidating and willing to bat people's faces in if they annoy her; however, she is ''much'' nicer than she appears.
* GenkiGirl: Yuina's default disposition is carefree and upbeat.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Yuina tends to make most decisions on a whim and is rather blunt and insensitive towards others. However, she has a good heart, a charismatic disposition, and a genuine desire to keep her teammates safe.
* JumpedAtTheCall: Another contrast from Rina; while she takes a bit to warm up to the prospect of fighting Shadows, Yuina actually gets addicted to Shadow fighting life pretty quickly.
* NoSocialSkills: Interestingly for a Wild Card, she's not the best at making friends due to being blunt and moody.
* PerkyGoth: Her clothing is styled in a Japanese goth fashion, and she's usually fairly upbeat - if not moody sometimes.
* PlayingWithFire: Caulfield uses the Agi line of skills.
* SirSwearsALot: The word "fuck" was not used very often in the original fic, usually saved for [[PrecisionFStrike dire moments]]. Yuina drops it several times in her intro alone with no reservations.
* StepfordSnarker: Mixed with a touch of StepfordSmiler. Yuina is sarcastic and generally has a cheerful demeanor, but actually has a lot of dissatisfaction with how boring life is to her and wants something to spice it up.
* TomboyWithAGirlyStreak: She's a tough, no-nonsense girl who fights with a baseball bat and swears a ton, but her fashion sense is more on the girly side.
* UnskilledButStrong: She's not particularly strategic; her battle style basically boils down to "smack with baseball bat and hit with strongest spells". It still works most of the time, to the point where she can beat her Shadow into submission without accepting it.

->'''Arcana:''' The Star
->'''Persona:''' [[Literature/TristramShandy Tristram]]
->'''Weapons:''' [[SufferTheSlings Slingshots]]
->''"Don't bring a rapier to a gunfight."''
A boy with an air of mystery and world-weariness about him... or so it seems at first. Saburo initially presents himself as a jaded veteran to Personas and Shadows and attempts to discourage Yuina from pursuing this path. However, as she continues her Shadow fighting lifestyle, she manages to crack Saburo's cynical mask, revealing a fun-loving eccentric beneath who quickly proves to be a valuable ally.\\\
Saburo's initial Persona is [[Literature/TristramShandy Tristram]], named after the protagonist of the novel. Tristram is the LemonyNarrator of the story who often goes on tangents and has quite an... interesting life. As a Persona, Tristram takes the form of a mummified insect-human hybrid covered in sarcophagus pieces.
----
* AlliterativeName: '''S'''aburo '''S'''asaki. Doubles as a CallBack to Hikaru.
* BadassLongcoat: He wears one, and does very well in combat with it.
* BewareTheNiceOnes: Saburo's generally an alright guy, but he's very tactical and ruthless against Shadows.
* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: He's kind of goofy in how he goes about things.
* CynicismCatalyst: The reason he tries to act jaded is because [[spoiler:his sister died in front of him due to wounds from Shadows]]. Fighting Shadows is too much fun for him to stop, though.
* EstablishingCharacterMoment: Uses nothing but a slingshot to fight off Shadows with Yuina [[spoiler:though that's because he doesn't actually have a Persona]] and tries to hide ''very obvious'' enjoyment from her while warning her not to fight Shadows.
--> '''Saburo''': Shadow fighting isn't fun. Trust me.
--> '''Yuina''': Yep, got that impression from your quipping and grinning.
--> '''Saburo''': Hey! Don't diss the quips. That's my way to ''cope''.
* {{Expy}}: Inspired off [[Series/DoctorWho the 10th Doctor]] in how he goes about things, with a touch of the 9th Doctor.
* FakeWizardry: [[spoiler:He's lying about having a Persona. Luckily, he gets one for real after Yuina defeats his Shadow]].
* FriendlessBackground: He doesn't really have many friends, which he attributes mostly to being homeschooled.
* LetsGetDangerous: He can seem somewhat goofy and incompetent, but out of the team he knows the most about Shadows and has the tactical smarts to back it up. He can fight off Shadows without his Persona [[spoiler:though that wasn't by choice, exactly]].
* MotorMouth: Tends to speak at a very fast pace, especially when excited. Averted, however, when he's trying to be serious.
* NiceGuy: He tries to act like a jaded veteran, but he's not very good at hiding how much of a sincere, lovable dork he is.
* SufferTheSlings: Wields slingshots as his weapon of choice, and he's pretty damn good with them, able to take out Shadows without use of his Persona [[spoiler:even if that's just because he doesn't have it at the time]].
* StepfordSnarker: Inverted, in that he hides his ''positive'' feelings underneath a jaded mask.
* VisualPun: Tristram is Saburo's Persona, and it has a bunch of cracked sarcophagus pieces on its body. Yuina literally cracked his shell.

[[folder:Kanako Inoue]]
->'''Arcana:''' The Hanged Man
->''"I'd do anything for my friends. I promise."''
Yuina's best (and, before the fanfiction properly starts, [[OnlyFriend only]]) friend. Kanako is a fellow first year at Youkou; she befriended Yuina one day through unknown circumstances and the two have been close ever since. Kanako is very sweet, gentle, and empathetic, and helps to reel in Yuina when she's being insensitive - while Yuina in turn helps her stay in reality when she's seeing the world through rose-colored glasses.
----
* AmbiguouslyBi: She clearly has a crush on [[TheCharmer Shouhei]], but her close friendship with Yuina can be interpreted as... a little more than that. Doesn't help that Arsene has stated they're "more than friends".
* NiceGirl: By far the nicest person in the Timekeepers besides - she's best friends with [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold Yuina]], after all.
* OnlySaneMan: Out of the characters shown so far, Kanako is the only one with no outstanding quirks; she serves well to highlight Yuina's more out there moments.
* RedOniBlueOni: The sweet, gentle, cautious blue to Yuina's rough and impulsive red.
* WideEyedIdealist: Yuina actually describes her as having rose-colored glasses.

->''"Master, are you truly sure this is the one?"''
A strange robot that appears to be Igor's assistant for this story. Despite being perpetually worried, sad, and even snarky towards Yuina sometimes, he's ultimately on her side.
----
* LovableCoward: Despite having the power to annihilate Yuina in seconds, he's scared whenever she starts acting aggressive. But Arsene has made it clear that if she actually tried to hurt Igor, Adam would retaliate in short order.
* MeaningfulName: Adam is one of the names for Frankenstein's monster. Reflecting this, Adam is not a human.
* NonstandardCharacterDesign: To Velvet Room attendants. All other ones were humans, even Clerval. Adam is a ''robot''.
* ServileSnarker: Very obedient to Igor and even Yuina... but he's not afraid to toss out sarcastic comments at the latter.

!!Shadow Yuina
->'''"You need to BE better. You're just making everyone miserable... including yourself!"'''
Yuina's Shadow, attempting to force her to be a better person and be less aggressive.
----
* CurbStompBattle: She's on the receiving end - [[CurbStompCushion while she lands a few good hits]], Yuina is able to outmaneuver and take her down pretty easily since she doesn't use her berserk form.
* HeelFaceTurn: She decides to properly team up with Yuina and transforms into a Persona for her after her defeat. Particularly notable in that it does seem like Caulfield and Shadow Yuina are one and the same, due to Caulfield being unable to participate in fusion.
* MusicalAssassin: Fights with her bass guitar as her primary weapon - whether it be [[RockersSmashGuitars smashing it into people]] or [[GaleForceSound creating deadly sound waves]], she's able to throw Yuina around all the same.
* OneWingedAngel: Subverted. She doesn't use her berserk form at all against Yuina in their first fight, which leads to her getting defeated pretty easily.

!!Shadow Saburo
->'''''"It's time for this cycle of anguish and regret to end! Even if I have to break it myself!"'''''
Saburo's Shadow, attempting to force him to get over the death of someone close to him.
----
* AttackItsWeakPoint: Yuina has the most effective time attacking his mouth. She leaves him incapacitated for a moment via punching him in the throat and finishes him off via an Eiha blasted straight down his gullet.
* BodyHorror: The way he transforms is ''sickening'' - his neck snaps upwards and the spider-like parts of his body start crawling out of his clothes, which meld into his body to transform into his berserk form.
* CombatPragmatist: Shadow Saburo uses every trick in the book to try to get an advantage over Yuina - blocking off her departing from the alleyway, attempting to web her back to him when she tries to flee, keeping his distance in open space and pinning her in a way that she can't press the button on her Persona watch... nothing's unfair to him. Unfortunately for him, [[OutGambitted Yuina is even more of a combat pragmatist]].
* {{Determinator}}: Yuina offers him several chances to get out of Saburo, but he refuses and continues to attack her - even when she reveals her Wild Card abilities, which is something that visibly shocks him.
* GiantSpider: His berserk form is a disgusting fleshy spider covered in wounds that's explicitly large enough to block off an alleyway.
* KnightOfCerebus: Whereas [[Fanfic/PersonaTheSougawaFiles Shadow Hikaru]] was a short and simple fight where Rina dispatched him relatively easily, Shadow Saburo has a ''scary'' berserk form, covers the death of a loved one in a much more upfront and vicious way than Shadow Hikaru, puts up a pretty decent fight to the point where he nearly kills Yuina, and all around shows the antagonists in this fanfiction are [[DarkerAndEdgier not messing around]].
* LightIsNotGood: Uses light skills and, well, is a major Shadow. Not exactly friendly.
* SuperSpit: He starts desperately spitting... ''something'' at Yuina near the end of his fight. It's some sort of acid-like substance, but [[NothingIsScarier it's never made clear just ''what'' it is]].

* AttackItsWeakPoint: Yuina has the most effective time attacking his mouth. She leaves him incapacitated for a moment via punching him in the throat and finishes him off via an Eiha blasted straight down his gullet.
* BodyHorror: The way he transforms is ''sickening'' - his neck snaps upwards and the spider-like parts of his body start crawling out of his clothes, which meld into his body to transform into his berserk form.
* CombatPragmatist: Shadow Saburo uses every trick in the book to try to get an advantage over Yuina - blocking off her departing from the alleyway, attempting to web her back to him when she tries to flee, keeping his distance in open space and pinning her in a way that she can't press the button on her Persona watch... nothing's unfair to him. Unfortunately for him, [[OutGambitted Yuina is even more of a combat pragmatist]].
* {{Determinator}}: Yuina offers him several chances to get out of Saburo, but he refuses and continues to attack her - even when she reveals her Wild Card abilities, which is something that visibly shocks him.
* GiantSpider: His berserk form is a disgusting fleshy spider covered in wounds that's explicitly large enough to block off an alleyway.
* KnightOfCerebus: Whereas [[Fanfic/PersonaTheSougawaFiles Shadow Hikaru]] was a short and simple fight where Rina dispatched him relatively easily, Shadow Saburo has a ''scary'' berserk form, covers the death of a loved one in a much more upfront and vicious way than Shadow Hikaru, puts up a pretty decent fight to the point where he nearly kills Yuina, and all around shows the antagonists in this fanfiction are [[DarkerAndEdgier not messing around]].
* LightIsNotGood: Uses light skills and, well, is a major Shadow. Not exactly friendly.
* SuperSpit: He starts desperately spitting... ''something'' at Yuina near the end of his fight. It's some sort of acid-like substance, but [[NothingIsScarier it's never made clear just ''what'' it is]].
