History Characters / InTheEyeOfTheBeholder

* InSpiteOfANail: Even in the WhatIf, NewGamePlus where Lydia allows Amelia to claim the dress she was about to get, she still ends up being sucked into the MirrorWorld anyway.

* ThisIsReality: When Lydia mentions her confusion that Carla would want to be friends with her precisely ''because'' she can't manipulate her like everyone else, Carla responds by saying that in the real world, focusing her energy on destroying someone who's not even a threat to her position like a stereotypical AlphaBitch cheerleader in the movies would is pointless.

* WasOnceAMan: A lot of hints indicate that this applies to him.

* ShadowArchetype: To the Shadow Selves in ''VideoGame/Persona4''. While both are formed from the insecurities of their hosts, the Shadow Selves were the parts of their hosts that they pretended didn't exist, while the Idols are formed from their host's distorted ideas of who they feel they ought to be, ie their repressed ideals. That said, as revealed by Idol F.Z., they're by no means mutually exclusive beings, as her repressed ideals turned out to also be part of her repressed weakness.

* AgonyOfTheFeet: Lydia uses his pistol to blow out his ankles so he can't run.

* AttackOfThe50FootWhatever: Idol Nathan is more than half the size of a football goal post.

* NoSenseOfPersonalSpace: Idol Amelia goes up to Lydia and boops her on the nose because she's completely confident the QIB can't do anything against her. She turns out to be quite correct.
* WimpFight: According to Amelia, since neither she nor her Idol knew anything about fighting, it came down to (in her opinion) perhaps the world's lamest fistfight once said Idol was stripped of its power.

* RedEyesTakeWarning: Has glowing red eyes as opposed to the yellow you might expect, [[MythologyGag a reference to how the original Shadow Selves in Persona 2 had red eyes]], and she's a villain.

* OlderThanTheyLook: Unlike the rest of the Sycophanta, who are comprised of teenagers, she's actually an adult at 21, which isn't immediately apparent due to her short height.

A student of Quartz Eastern High who joined Sycophanta at roughly the same time Jacob joined the QIB, since both were trapped in the mirror world at the exact same time.

* HeroOfAnotherStory: One of the protagonists of ''The Fragile Veil.''

* RatedMForManly: Idol Nathan is far more muscular than the real thing.

* SecularHero: Mentions that she never had much of an interest in religion.

* DealWithTheDevil: Allie theorizes that accepting their Idols has some sort of catch despite their greater power compared to the QIB, comparing it to a "get rich quick" scheme, but whatever downsides there are remains unknown.

* AlasPoorVillain: In-universe Lydia feels bad about beating her since she just cries instead of insulting them, but the rest of the QIB are far less sympathetic, F.Z. even taking the time to go break her glasses before handling them back to her.

* TeethClenchedTeamwork: Damien and F.Z. do not get along at all, and the rest of the team save Lydia doesn't really hang out with her when there isn't training to do or Idols to fight up until Nori joins.
* WeakButSkilled: Their Personas may be weaker on average than those belonging to Sycophanta, but they can close the gap with their larger amount of battle experience.

* NonHumanHead: As to be expected, Tepeyollotl has a jaguar head.

* CombatMedic: Frigg can use healing spells such as Diarama.

* ThisIsReality: When Lydia states her confusion that Carla would want to be friends with her precisely ''because'' she can't manipulate her like everyone else, Carla responds by saying that in the real world, focusing her energy on destroying someone who's not even a threat to her position like a stereotypical AlphaBitch cheerleader in the movies would is pointless.

* BladeOnAStick: Is capable of forming weapons out of quartz in the mirror world, but primarily uses a spear. She loses this ability upon gaining her Persona.

* BadassBaritone: Speaks with a deep baritone while in the mirror world.

* RedEyesTakeWarning: Has glowing red eyes as opposed to the yellow you might expect, [[MythologyGag a reference to how the original Shadow Selves in Persona 2 had red eyes]].

* ChurchgoingVillain: Compared to the atheist Lydia, Lynne's Catholic, though it's unclear exactly how religious she is.

* UnskilledButStrong: They lack as much battle experience on average then the QIB since they only train on each other instead of the Shadows out of the belief it would take too long, but their Personas are individually stronger.

! Mr. Marshall

* MadeOfIron: Being a Persona user, she was slightly more durable than the average person, and it was her Persona that gave her enough energy to survive her ultimately fatal car crash long enough to write one last letter before expiring. By comparison, the other person involved in the crash died instantaneously.

* LifeWillKillYou: After surviving a harrowing adventure while trapped at her university, she dies in a car crash years later. Rissa even lampshades the fact that after all the horrible things she survived, it was something as mundane as a car crash that ended her life.

* SoleSurvivor: Of the Corpus incident apart from Lloyd Ross, who ended up in a mental asylum for years as a result of all he witnessed.

* SirSwearsALot: F.Z. has the filthiest mouth out of the QIB, to the point that Nori tells Lydia that if she ever met Nori's younger sister Desiree and the latter picked up F.Z.'s swearing habit, their parents would forbid them from talking.

* HeroicSacrifice: Is implied to have done one to save Lydia's life, leaving her with no small degree of SurvivorsGuilt as a result.

* LifeWillKillYou: After surviving a harrowing adventure while trapped at her university, she dies in a car crash years later.

* ItsAllAboutMe: Lynne notes that compared to the rest of Sycophanta, her desires were and are a lot more self-centered than theirs.

** Chapter 33 retells the story of Lynne meeting the QIB following Jacob joining the group in the previous chapter, but from her perspective.

* TheConfidant: Lynne is Valerie's regarding her love life.

* FriendlyEnemy: Despite the fact that the QIB and Sycophanta are enemies, Lynne seems to genuinely want to be friends with Lydia, even giving Lydia her number and becoming her Hunger Social Link, though she insists that they don't talk about Persona business.

* NotBrainwashed: When Lydia asks her if it's possible that they may be being controlled, Lynne angrily states that everything she and the others have done is of their own free will. This is corroborated by Chapter 3 of the fic ''All the Myriad Ways'', which depicts how she met and accepted her Idol. That said, Lynne does note that her thoughts change while inside the valley, leading her to become more murderous.

* BadassBeard: Gilgamesh has a long beard and is extremely powerful.
