12
13The eighteen-year-old daughter of Mitsuru Kirijo, making her the heir to the Kirijo Group. In the story's beginning, Satomi returns from the United States, as she has been studying abroad for the past three years to expand her education. However, soon after her arrival to Tatsumi Port Island, she awakens to her potential, gaining the Persona Embla, based on the first female human created in the Norse myths.

20----
21* ActionGirl: She manages to defend herself even before awakening to her Wild Card ability.
22* TheBeautifulElite: Satomi's stated to be very beautiful, and she is the heiress to the Kirijo Group.
23* BattleCouple: Eventually becomes this with Yukio.
24* BlueBlood: It turns out that Satomi's descended from the Nakatomi clan through her maternal grandmother.
25* BrokenAce: Highly intelligent, charismatic, and excelling in physical feats...
26** And yet, she runs herself nearly dry to try and meet her expectations. She's also quite the perfectionist, which causes her to overcriticize herself.
27* BrokenPedestal: Needless to say, Satomi is a tad... shocked when she finds out why the Kirijo Group got founded in the first place.
28* ChildhoodFriends: With Hinata, Yukio, Kazuo, and Ruri.
29** ChildhoodFriendRomance: With Yukio.
30* DisappearedDad: Satomi's never known her father, seeing that Mitsuru got a sperm donation to have her.
31* DontCallMeSir: Satomi doesn't like the honorific -sama, even though she has some ancient blood. She's fully chagrined when Raiden decides that he needs to call her "Nee-sama" in the beginning.
32* {{Foil}}: She's this with Mikoto since their mothers are both celebrities in their own right. Satomi craves her mother's approval and has a relatively decent relationship with Mitsuru, while Mikoto is at odds with Naoto and resents the expectations pushed onto her.
33* HeroicSelfDeprecation: Satomi often second-guesses herself, one thing most bothering her being her Social Links due to her fear of just using her friends.
34* LadyOfWar: Like mother, like daughter.
35* TheLeader: She's the de-facto leader due to possessing the Wild Card and all.
36* MeaningfulName: Satomi's name is written with the kanji meaning ''wise beauty''. Satomi's noted to be quite intelligent and beautiful.
37* {{Oneesama}}: She's this to Raiden, though she slowly becomes CoolBigSis as they fall back to their familiar ways.
38* PrimAndProperBun: Her hairstyle is mostly down, with only a little bun on the top of her head. Though she is elegant and refined, she does have a playful side.
39* RedOniBlueOni: Amusingly with Hinata, seeing that Satomi is a redhead and Hinata's hair is blue. Satomi is more reserved, while Hinata is more emotional.
40* UptownGirl: With Yukio.
41* WellDoneSonGuy: As mentioned above, Satomi only wants her mother's approval.

59* WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes: Has an intense fear of heights to the point of getting vertigo.

73->'''School Year:''' First-Year University Student
74----
75* ActionGirl: She's Satomi's lieutenant for a reason, after all.
76* AnimalMotifs: She has a butterfly motif.
77* BestFriendsInLaw: Satomi starts dating Yukio, who is more Hinata's older brother than cousin.
78* BewareTheNiceOnes: Hinata's a sweet girl but will gut you like a fish when the situation calls for it. And she'll smile while doing so, to boot.
79** She also apparently has a rather frightening smile when she's pissed.
80** As pointed out by Yukio, the three most prominent women in Hinata's life are Yukari, Minako, and Mitsuru, so it's not hard how she learned how to cow people.
81* BraidsOfAction: Well, one side braid.
82* DanceBattler: Hinata's battle style involves a lot of flips and jumps, a strong influence from her practicing ice skating.
83* DeadpanSnarker: Not so much on the deadpan, but very heavy on the snarking; she prefers to be very cheerful about her sarcasm.
84* [[ChickMagnet Dude Magnet]]: Hinata's noted to be very popular with the boys.
85* HereditaryHairstyle: She has bangs that cover one of her eyes, like Minato.
86* HeterosexualLifePartners: With Satomi, of course. Satomi outright states that she's always been the closest to Hinata out of all her childhood friends.
87* AnIcePerson: Ostara's element is ice.
88* InSeriesNickname: Hinata's family and friends call her ''Hina''. Reika's nickname for her is also ''Sunshine'', referring to her name.

90* TheLancer: She's this to Satomi's Hero.
91* MeaningfulName: Hinata's name means sunflower, and she's the most cheerful of her friends, showcasing how she's TheHeart.
92* ObliviousToLove: Played with; it seems at first that she is clueless about the boys' attentions towards her, but then it's revealed that she was faking this because some of the boys' attentions made her uncomfortable, [[spoiler:especially since they were propositioning her about sex]].
93* RedMage: Hinata focuses on ice magic, but she's also a competent healer.
94* SingleWomanSeeksGoodMan: Certainly prefers nice guys. She ultimately falls for Tatsuo, who can be standoffish but is proven to be a good guy.
95* SnarkToSnarkCombat: With Kazuo mostly.
96* StepfordSmiler: Hinata would rather hide her bad moods through smiles and forced cheer.
97* TrueBlueFemininity: Most of her wardrobe is blue.

103[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/ruri_6.png]]
104
105The only daughter of Shinjiro and Fuuka Aragaki, she's the only third-year high school student present at the story's beginning until the Inaba students' introduction. Ruri seems quiet and soft-spoken, but that is a front to hide her crippling lack of self-confidence.

117** Just ask Shinjiro.
118* DaddysGirl: Adores Shinjiro, calling him ''Papa''.
119* DeadpanSnarker: She can be pretty sarcastic when she feels like it.
120* {{Foil}}: To Mikoto. Their fathers are the resident tough guys with a secret soft side, and their mothers are intelligent, with a knack for technology. While Mikoto resents Naoto's absence and the expectations pushed onto her, Ruri admires and looks up to Fuuka.
121* HeterosexualLifePartners: Develops this with Mikoto.
122* ImprobableWeapon: Wields a wok briefly.

129* SupremeChef: She was taught by her father, after all.
130* TomboyAndGirlyGirl: To her female childhood friends, Satomi and Hinata.
131** Satomi and Hinata will wear skirts when possible, but Ruri prefers pants.
132* TomboyWithAGirlyStreak: Ruri shows interest in technology and loves mecha anime, but she doesn't protest wearing the female school uniform and a hair bow. She also admits that she finds lolita fashion to be very cute.

169
170The only daughter and oldest child of Kanji and Naoto, she's introduced during the Gekkoukan-Yasogami sports festival a few months into the story. Mikoto is rather fierce and easily angered, but she cares for her friends a lot... it's just difficult for her to show it.

182* DCupDistress: She pretty much hates that she has a rather impressive bust due to the MaleGaze and the stereotype of busty women being loose.
183* FeminineWomenCanCook: Averted since Mikoto is the most tomboyish girl and is a pretty good chef.
184* GeniusBruiser: Mikoto is quite sharp-witted and intelligent, and she's one of the hard hitters on the team.
185* GibberishOfLove: Prone to babbling around Hiroki. Fortunately, Hinata manages to pull her out of it.
186* HairColorDissonance: In-universe. Mikoto's hair is purple-black, and it'll look purple or black depending on the lighting.
187* HotBlooded: ''Very'' much so.
188* IAmNotMyFather: Not that Naoto is evil or anything, but Mikoto still strongly asserts that she is not Naoto.
189* ICantBelieveAGuyLikeYouWouldNoticeMe: She's adamant that Hiroki would never like her since she's hot-tempered, among other things. Of course, Hiroki revealing otherwise flusters her.
190* [[SirSwearsALot Lady Swears A Lot]]: This is Kanji's fault.
191* LightningBruiser: Downplayed; despite her high strength and agility, her defenses are pretty low.
192%%* SheCleansUpNicely: At the ball, much to the boys' shock.
193* SingleTargetSexuality: Only has eyes for Hiroki.
194* SourOutsideSadInside: Mikoto has ''extremely'' low self-esteem due to being constantly compared to her mother.
195* TeamMom: Out of the Inaba kids.
196* {{Tsundere}}: She's tsundere even to her ''family''. Ironically, she tends to show her B to her LoveInterest more than anything.
197%%* UsedToBeASweetKid: This is why her cousins are all pretty confused when they see Mikoto in person after quite a few years.
198%%** Mamoru mentions that he used to look up to Naoto, to boot.
199* VictoriousChildhoodFriend: With Hiroki.
