Trivia / The Evil Queen

• Inspiration for the Work: Vivvav based Makoto's Big Bad characterization on the Iron Lady interpretation he gave her in his early fanfic, The Amamiya Investigation.
• What Could Have Been:
  • In a case of Creator Breakdown, author Vivvav mentioned that writing the story was so draining he decided to abort continuing it past Makoto's Palace. Similarly, Akira and Makoto were eventually meant to become a legitimate pairing, like in Vivvav's other works, but he begrudgingly admitted that he pushed Makoto's role as the Big Bad far too realistically to incorporate it for this story.
  • A bonus chapter at the end reveals several unused concepts for further story arcs.
    • The second Arc Villain would have been Mitsuyo Togo. Yusuke (who in this version has already escaped Madarame thanks to Akechi) tips the heroes off to her abuse of Hifumi, who joins the Phantom Heroes as Wolf (with Madame Chiang as her Persona).
    • The third Arc Villain would have been the SIU Director, who intends to bump off Sae after she gets too close to Kaneshiro and risks exposing his own dirty secrets. Makoto and Ryuji would serve as Guest Star Party Members for this arc.
    • The fourth Arc Villain would have possibly been Yuuki Mishima, who has gotten drunk on his influence as the founder of the Phan-site.
    • The sixth Arc Villain would have been Mitsuru Kirijo, consumed by the desire to arrest the Phantom Heroes due to thinking of them as a group of rogue Persona users ala Strega. Shinjiro (who survived Persona 3 in a FeMC run) would join the party.
    • The Final Boss would have been Masayoshi Shido. This time his Palace would take the form of a daycare and the big focus would be on Akechi struggling with his desire for vengeance against Shido going so far as to reclaim Loki to kill Shido personally.
    • With Yaldabaoth being kicked off early Mementos in this story takes the shape of multiple floating islands instead of the canonical underground subway station.
