* UnwittingPawn: Of Nyarlathotep, and unlike Kandori, he never realizes it.

* ScrewTheRulesIHaveConnections: Tatsuya's father was in charge of investigating a serial arsonist, and came close to fingering Tatsuya Sudou as the culprit. Sudou's father is a prominent politician, so he arranged for Mr. Suou to be framed and [[TurnInYourBadge forced to resign]] from the police force in disgrace.

* DistressedDamsel: In ''Eternal Punishment'', she is forcibly turned into a JOKER.

* UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: He kidnaps Okamura in ''Innocent Sin'' to bring her onto Xibalba in a last ditch attempt to bring about the Oracle of Maia.

* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: In ''Eternal Punishment'', due to the heroes not having to time to drag his unconscious body back to the Velvet Room to cure the Joker Curse, they end up leaving his body at the seminar stage and his ultimate fate is left unknown.

* SlasherSmile: Like all the other victims of the Joker Curse, his mouth turns into a permanent one of these upon being infected.

* TheOneGuy: So far Ginji is the only male member of the Lovers Arcana, though like the others he still has a female persona.

* GameplayAndStorySegregation: When Shadow Maya is in the party she has the same equipment, level and exp that the real Maya has while this could be explained that shadow selves have the same possessions that their real counterparts have when they are created it does not explain why her equipment (if you changed it) and exp will be transferred to the real Maya when she rejoins the party.

* TheUnreveal: Due to the aforementioned lack of a proper boss fight in ''Innocent Sin'', Junko is the only member of the Masked Circle whose persona was never revealed.

->'''Persona:''' Reverse Eros

A 13 year-old [[{{Cosplay}} cosplayer]] with a very lively imagination, believing that she's a "reincarnated warrior maiden", Ixquic. In ''Innocent Sin'', she turns out to be a minion of King Leo. In ''Eternal Punishment'', she hangs out at Giga Macho (The Seedy CD) music store, and is hunting down the two rumored demons that reside there.

The leader of the Masked Circle. A mysterious being that is summoned by calling your own cell number. He is said to grant any wish of those who summon him, but at the risk of losing all their dreams. He also seems to hold a grudge against Tatsuya and his friends.

* {{Bishonen}}: According to [[TheDragon King Leo]] he hides a face "as beautiful as a goddess" underneath his creepy-looking jester mask. [[spoiler: Turns out King Leo was indeed correct as Joker (or rather Jun) is indeed a very beautiful young man under the mask.]]

* TheBattleDidntCount: Despite the player having to defeat him during the Tatsuya Scenario, the cutscene afterwards has him easily defeat Tatsuya and leave. Justified as that version of the boss battle is a different build called "Playful Kandori", indicating that he wasn't fighting at full strength.

* FusionDance: Despite the game still calling his Persona simply "Nyarlathotep", visually it is the upper half of God-Kandori crudely stitched onto the lower half of the Moon Howler.

Anna Yoshizaka was once a track athlete at Seven Sisters High School. However, she was involved in a hit-and-run accident, which dashed her dreams of becoming a star athlete. She began skipping school, seeing no point in attending when she had nothing more to work towards. Somewhere around this time, she fell under the thrall of the Joker and became Lady Scorpio, one of the Masked Four. Like Prince Taurus, her role is targeting other young people at Kasugayama High School and the Zodiac Club. It isn't necessary to fight Lady Scorpio; she doesn't confront the party until Caracol, when the player's choices determine [[spoiler:whether she lives or dies]].

Later in the game, [[spoiler:her SenpaiKohai, Noriko, is discovered to have used the JOKER curse twice (Noriko is the one who ordered the deaths of both Hanya and the man responsible for Anna's accident), and is kidnapped by the Taiwanese mafia for that very reason. Anna phones Maya and the party to help free the girl, giving them the tip-off about the mafia's location]].

Afterwards, she joins with the revived Takahisa Kandori and leaves with him for the Undersea Ruins, although she questions why someone like him would be happy serving as simply a pawn for Tatsuzou Sudou. Eventually, she and Kandori are confronted by Maya Amano and her party along with Tatsuya Suou. [[spoiler:They are both defeated, and, despite Nanjo/Eriko's pleading, stay behind in the collapsing Undersea Ruins to die]].

* EyepatchOfPower: He has some sort of eye patch covering his right eye. [[spoiler:This alludes to Jun's PeekABangs]].

* StrongFamilyResemblance: The Kurosu [[PeekABangs bangs]].
