Walt Disney Presents: Persona 5 Royal
is a Persona 5 fanfiction that is a retelling of the story, but with the characters and locations of the various Disney Television Animation programs, written by Matt Eldritch.
Framed for a crime she didn't commit, Luz Noceda is forced to spend a year on probation in a town that views her as nothing more than a worthless delinquent. Threatened with being sent to a juvenile detention centre if even one more incident occurs, Luz vows to stay away from anything that could land her into any more trouble.
But sadly, this was a promise that couldn't be kept; What started as a threat of expulsion from a sexual predator teacher soon escalates into an all-encompassing supernatural conspiracy that threatens the very future of humanity.
This fic has examples of:
- Adaptational Angst Upgrade: In addition to experiencing the same torment that Joker went through in the game, this version of Luz also has serious anxiety issues and a tendency towards hurting herself when overwhelmed.
- Adaptation Deviation: As written in the story's summary, the story takes many liberties with the stories of Persona 5 and with the canon of the many, many Disney animated series that adapted here.
- Adaptation Species Change:
- Rather than Witches, Emira and Edalyn are presented as humans.
- Director Bradford is a human man instead of an anthropomorphic vulture.
- Age Lift: Emira Blight is aged up from a teenaged Hexside Upperclassman to an adult, as part of being combined with Sae Niijima.
- Composite Character:
- Emira Blight takes on Sae Niijima's role as the public prosecutor in charge of interrogating the main character.
- Eda Clawthorne takes Sojiro Sakura's role as restaurant owner and the main character's legal guardian.
- Massive Multiplayer Crossover: And how!
- Police Brutality: Luz is subjected to this in the very first chapter.
- Whole Episode Flashback: Of the How We Got Here variety, as with the original videogame.
