[[quoteright:200:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/p4a_labrys_small_3025.png]]
[[caption-width-right:200:Don't break the rules, or you'll get Chain Knuckled!]]
-->''"I'll protect the public decency of Inaba!"''
->'''Arcana:''' Wheel of Fortune\\
'''Persona:''' Ariadne\\
'''Main Weapon:''' Great Axe\\
'''Style:''' [[EvolvingAttack Power Up]]
->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/AyanaTaketatsu (Japanese) and Creator/CindyRobinson (English)
A Shadow-hunting android similar to Aigis. For reasons yet to be explained, Labrys was thrown into the Midnight Channel, creating a replica of Inaba which serves as the stage of the "P-1 Grand Prix" and as her Midnight Channel dungeon, born out of her desire to go to school and be a real girl. Labrys' Persona, Ariadne, can weave magical threads used to both attack and stun her opponents.
As an Anti-Shadow Weapon, Labrys was forced to endure many tests that would help her develop an ego so she could gain a Persona. She grew close to a fellow sister unit of hers, #24, who taught her about life. Unfortunately, during a test run Labrys was [[spoiler:forced to fight and kill #24 for her final test]] as the scientists who created her took delight in their results, considering her only as a machine and not a real person. Filled with anger, she escapeed the facility at Yakushima and awakened her Persona in the process, but her escape was short-lived, as the facility was located on a remote island. She allowed herself to be recaptured, having held a wish in her memory that her successors could find happiness as she had tried to.
While in her hibernation brought by her sealing, she discovers that #24's last message was that every model up to Labrys is based on an IllGirl, the "mother" of the '''5th Generation''' Anti-Shadow Suppression Weapon, who wanted to go to school but couldn't because of her condition. A mysterious voice beckons Labrys that it can grant her wish to go to school as her "mother" once wished, and to forget the painful events of her existence.
Labrys' Instant Kill is '''Weaver's Art: Inquisition'''. She summons Ariadne, who fires an energy string that pins them to the wall in a web formation. Labrys then launches her axe like a boomerang at the opponent using her extendable arms, slashing them multiple times before finally slamming them into the ground with a decisive, downward swing.
----
%% ActionGirl
* AIIsACrapshoot: [[spoiler:As Labrys developed, her goals began to slowly shift from those of the researchers and she went from destroying opponent to attempting to disarm them and similar measures. When they forced her to follow the directives more closely, her stress built up and eventually she went on a rampage.]] The story is entirely on Labrys' side for this. Played with in that it's not anything in her programming or hardware that caused her to go wild, but the human characteristics that the researchers nurtured in her. They wanted a weapon with a heart and [[GoneHorriblyRight that's exactly what they got.]]
* AnAxeToGrind: A big friggin' one. Her WeaponOfChoice, as well as her [[MeaningfulName name]].
* AppliedPhlebotinum: Her power source, a [[ContinuityNod Plume Of Dusk]].
* AscendedExtra: Labrys first appeared in a P3 drama CD entitled ''Moonlight.'' A mostly complete transcription of the Drama CD can be found in [[http://imaginary-numbers.dreamwidth.org/2127.html two]] [[http://imaginary-numbers.dreamwidth.org/2382.html parts]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fETsiltNXg0 (the audio could be heard here)]], but there are Persona 3 spoilers, as it takes place during January, and she doesn't even make an appearance although her name is mentioned.
* {{Badass}}: Her anime cutscene has her decimating an army of herself.
** BadassAdorable: Some of her attack quotes are quite adorable.
** BadassInDistress: The P-1 Grand Prix serves as her TV World dungeon.
* BreakTheCutie: To say that her time at the lab was bad is an understatement.
* CanonImmigrant: Went from a passing mention in a ''Persona 3'' drama CD to being a fully-fledged fighter.
* ChainPain / WhipItGood: Her Instant Kill mainly consists of her using her axe a flail by using the chain on her arm.
* ColorCodedForYourConvenience: Her axe gauge changes from gray to blue to green to yellow to red as its power grows.
* TheComicallySerious: Has this innately for some reason. Even when she was first being built.
-->'''Researcher''': ''Does it...have an accent?''
-->'''Labrys''': ''Ac...cent? [[Film/RushHour Do you not understand the words comin outta my mouth]]?''
* CurbStompBattle: During the testing she had to undergo, all her victories were essentially flawless and her performance only improved when she starting attempting to minimize the damage she inflicted. In fact, even attempting to do this at all just made her an even better fighter since she avoided brute force solutions and picked up real techniques and strategies.
* DangerouslyShortSkirt: As part of her SailorFuku.
* {{Deuteragonist}}: The Persona 4 Arena duology is generally her story primarily, with the first game essentially being a trip through her dungeon.
* EvolvingAttack: Her strength increases the more attacks she lands, allowing her to reach GameBreaker strength if she attacks frequently.
* FamilyThemeNaming: Third in the Kirijo Group Anti-Shadow RobotGirl family to use an ancient Greek term as a name.
* FlawedPrototype: [[spoiler:She was part of the testing series to develop weapons capable of combating Shadows. While they all had functional weaponry, the line she was part of was slow to develop proper egos. While she did eventually develop one, her abilities, mind and emotions were unstable, which really was not helped by the excessively cruel experiments she was forced to take part in. She was used as the basis for further development that eventually lead to Aigis, but she herself was deemed a stepping stone and a failure and was thus sealed away. Altogether, she's actually much closer to human than Aigis was, which is kind of a problem for something that's supposed to be a weapon.]]
* ForegoneConclusion: We know that in her story mode she's going to fight against models just like herself and destroy them and eventually be sealed away, though the exact details set up further plot threads.
** ShootTheShaggyDog: Becomes absolutely heart-wrenching at some points, particularly at the end where [[spoiler:she finally hits her RageBreakingPoint and actually manages to bust out of the research facility... only to learn that there's no place she can run to because the lab's been on an island the entire time. However, she caused so much damage during her escape that the reseachers no longer had the means to tamper with her memories.]]
* GoneHorriblyRight: The old Kirijo Group builds Labrys to be a [[RidiculouslyHumanRobots weapon with a heart]], but then can't believe it when she [[TurnedAgainstTheirMasters turns on them for treating her like dirt]].
* GrewBeyondTheirProgramming: The Fifth Generation were intended to build up egos and personalities through combat and occasional interaction, but the researchers actually weren't really paying attention to the right things. Labrys aside, most of the other units had also developed their own egos and merely hid such things. When they finally consider her a success, she's become so human [[spoiler:that she has a breakdown, goes on a rampage and has to be sealed away.]]
* HumansAreTheRealMonsters[=/=]WhatMeasureIsANonHuman: [[spoiler:The scientists who created Labrys and subsequently pit her against her sisters react to her reluctance and defiance to fight her best friend, a fellow android, with glee and excitement, due to the data they collected as a result. Needless to say, she does not take this well...]]
* IdentityAmnesia:
** Her personality is based on that of a real human girl, but the details of this life were locked away with special equipment [[spoiler:that is also the basis for her illusion abilities.]] This is not viewed as particularly important in itself by the story since Labrys is her own individual.
** During the story, Labrys runs around convinced that she's the student council president and has forgotten who and what she actually is. By choice.
* IJustWantToBeNormal: The world based on her psyche is built to fulfill two conditions. One is the the basic plot of the story and deals with all the testing she underwent. The second is just to be a normal, happy student with friends and respect and is the part of the world that she identifies with more.
* ImageSong: ''[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8JCl8yivdvc Now I Know]]''.
* JapanesePronouns: "Uchi."
* {{Joshikousei}}: Pretends to be one.
* KansaiRegionalAccent: In the Japanese track. In ''Ultimax'', the version of [[ShadowArchetype Shadow Labrys]] who uses Ariadne retains it.
** TranslationConvention: In the English dub she occasionally speaks with a [[UsefulNotes/AmericanAccents North Jersey[=/=]Bronx accent]].
* {{Leitmotif}}: ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YLLNFb61YZQ Spirited Girl]]'' and ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W3Dqanj4ThI The Ultimate]]'' for her boss battle. For Shadow-Type Shadow Labrys, ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=535yJPAAH7M The Almighty]]''.
* LimitBreak: Two of her Supers, Weaver's Art: Beast and Brutal Impact can deal truly incredible amounts of damage when her Axe Gauge is red, but drop the gauge to the lowest level.
* LivingWeapon: Like other Anti-Shadow Suppression Weapons, she was solely built for combat and only has emotions so that she can use a Persona.
* MasterOfIllusion: One of her main functions, and how she makes herself look like a normal human for most of the story. [[spoiler:It was also to exploit this ability that the Eerie Voice and the Malevolent Entity decided to kidnap her in the first place.]]
* MeaningfulName: Her name is the ancient Greek term for [[AnAxeToGrind a symmetrical doubleheaded axe]] that originally came from Crete; it is often associated with goddesses and femininity. In addition, the Japanese pronunciation of her name[[note]]''Rabirisu'', as opposed to ''Raburyusu''[[/note]] is one kana away from "labyrinth"[[note]]''Rabiri'''n'''su''[[/note]], the palace of Knossos which was designed to hold the Minotaur of Crete and is also derived from "labrys". Furthermore, it is believed that the goddess of the double-axe presided over Minoan palaces, especially the palace of Knossos.
* MindControlEyes: [[spoiler:When under control of the Eerie Voice.]]
* MindHive: All the remaining memories of the other 5th generation prototypes were [[GhostMemory transferred]] into her upon their destruction. [[spoiler:It's eventually revealed the ghostly "spectators" of the P-1 Grand Prix are actually what's left of the other prototypes' Shadows, that all separated from Labrys at the same time as Labrys' own Shadow.]]
* MisappliedPhlebotinum: InUniverse: She has some powerful illusion capabilities built into her, but they're actually designed to reduce Labrys' cognitive dissonance and not be actively used against others. It's Shadow Labrys that really puts these abilities to good use.
* NotSoDifferent: Reaches this conlusion about herself and Sho in Ultimax after learning of his backstory. In the P3 storyline, she gives a BreakingSpeech to him about their similarities the same way Narukami gives one to Minazuki in the P4 story.
* [[NowLetMeCarryYou My Turn To Save You]]: She was rescued from the Midnight Channel at the end of ''Arena''. In ''Ultimax'', she returns to Inaba to repay the favor.
* OohMeAccentsSlipping: In English. It... jumps around, sounding a bit like someone affecting a {{Joisey}} or Bronx accent, making it difficult for many fans to [[{{WhatTheHellIsThatAccent}} nail it down]]. This might have been due to the voice actor having difficulties with the nuances of the accent, but is {{Justified|Trope}} in her Story Mode: [[spoiler:it sounds like someone imitating an accent because ''that's exactly what it is.'']]
* OneHitKill: Brutal Impact can do this on lower-hp characters at full Axe Gauge, simply by [[ForMassiveDamage hitting that goddamn hard]]. Literally anyone here with GlassCannon or FragileSpeedster in their trope page can simply be one-shot. Others have a sliver of hp left. The Skill boosted version does enough damage to simply one-shot ''anyone'' bar the final boss.
** Of course, it's easily jumped over, or you could just Instant Kill her for trying. There's a reason high-level Labrys players don't use this move.
*** Given a use in ''Ultimax'' where it becomes a CounterAttack. Hit Labrys while she's revving this up and it's all over.
* RageBreakingPoint: After all the experiments, Labrys is holding together and while disillusioned she stays in her expected role. But when the scientists [[spoiler:decide to delete the memories of #024 she finally flips out, goes on a rampage with a proto-Persona and causes intense damage.]]
* RedEyesTakeWarning: An aversion for the most part. You wouldn't want to pick a fight with her, but otherwise she one of the pluckiest characters in the series. They mostly serve as a {{Foil}} to Aigis' [[RedOniBlueOni blue eyes]].
* RedOniBlueOni: Red to Aigis' Blue.
* RobotGirl: Aigis's predecessor in this regard.
* RidiculouslyHumanRobot: She was designed to summon a Persona and for that you need a human-like psyche and appearance. Compared to Aigis, she developed a lot faster, but not necessarily in a good way.
* RocketPunch: She and her sister units can launch their arms as projectiles and retract them with chains.
* ShipTease: With both Teddie and Yosuke.
* StoryToGameplayRatio: Her story mode only has one fight, [[spoiler:Elizabeth, trying to wake her up from the Midnight Channel's illusions]], and the rest of it is pure {{Backstory}}.
* StudentCouncilPresident: For most of the story, she believes that she's the student council president of Yasogami, which confuses the actual Yasogami students, who are fairly sure that the real president is a guy.
* SuperMode: If Labrys's axe is at its most powerful (denoted by a red axe symbol near her SP Gauge), every counter hit she lands with her axe becomes a Fatal Counter, enabling combos that weren't possible otherwise. She also gets insane damage output, especially if she has SP to burn.
* SwissArmyWeapon: Her "multi-weapon".
** AnAxeToGrind: A really huge one in matter of fact.
** JetPack: She can attach the axe into her back and use the rocket boosters as jetpack.
** PrecisionGuidedBoomerang: Justified due to its rockets.
** RocketPoweredWeapon: Has rocket boosters built into it, possibly to make it easier to swing.
* TurnedAgainstTheirMasters: The researchers didn't view the anti Shadow weapons like Labrys as really being alive or capable of thinking and feeling. so they eventually [[spoiler:drove her to a breakdown that they interpreted more literally than the usual sense.]] The resulting damages resulted in her being put into stasis while the next generation was developed.
* VariableLengthChain: inside her arms, letting them extend to almost any length.
* YouAreNumberSix: She's referred to as unit #031 at all times during her story mode until she's eventually labeled a success and given the name Labrys, which is another thing that helps her feel like an actual individual and not just a weapon.
* ZettaiRyouiki: Where she doesn't wear anything over her legs, the metal frames on her legs make it seem like she has them.

-->''"Your fate is in the cards."''
-> '''Arcana:''' Death ([=P4A=]), Fool ([=P4AU=])\\
'''Persona:''' Thanatos\\
'''Main Weapons:''' Persona Cards and Persona Compendium\\
'''Style:''' [[TheDreaded Boss]]
->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/MiyukiSawashiro (Japanese) and TaraPlatt (English)
One of Igor's previous assistants in the Velvet Room, who not only served as the keeper of the Persona Compendium in ''Persona 3'', but was also a skilled Persona user herself. After the defeat of Erebus at the end of ''The Answer'', Elizabeth left the Velvet Room to find a way to save the blue-haired boy who gave his life to seal Nyx forever. Her travels eventually take her to Inaba and the "P-1 Grand Prix"...
Her Persona, Thanatos, can utilize every single element imaginable and uses powerful, savage physical attacks.
Elizabeth's Instant Kill is '''Megidolaon''', a counter which can only be triggered when it guards against three hits. If the opponent falls for the trap, they are surrounded by Persona cards as Elizabeth summons many more to bombard them. She then summons Thanatos to conjure a giant meteor of light which obliterates the opponent.
----
* AdaptedOut: She's the only main character to not make an appearance at all in the manga adaptation.
* AllYourPowersCombined: Her Persona moves are generally based on those of other characters. For example, her Maziodyne is a weakened special move version of Yu's Ziodyne.
* AsLongAsThereIsEvil: Her story revolves entirely around her continuing search to find a way around this, so she can destroy Erebus permanently and save [[VideoGame/{{Persona3}} the boy who gave his life to seal Nyx forever]].
* {{Badass}}: To put things into perspective, she's a BonusBoss in VideoGame/{{Persona 3}}, and she takes down Erebus (the AnthropomorphicPersonification of humanity's collective death wish) in one hit on a yearly basis.
* BadassAdorable: Her naiveté, bluntness and whimsy is both endearing and hilarious. She can also utterly destroy anyone and anything with barely any effort, and made an annual tradition of ''[[spoiler:one-shotting an EldritchAbomination]]''.
* BerserkButton: Despite her easy-going nature, she seems to have a particular distaste for illusions.
-->'''Elizabeth''': ''Such parlour tricks [[SophisticatedAsHell can get stuffed!]]''
%% BigDamnHeroes
* BonusBoss: She serves as the final boss of the bonus Score Attack mode.
* CastFromHitPoints: Her Mind Charge super chops her health down to the point of awakening, but she will slowly regenerate her health back if not hit. It will also refill her SP based on the amount of health sacrificed in this way. Due to her role as a GlassCannon and her ability to heal large chunks of her health with Diarahan, this doesn't mean much.
* CatchPhrase[=/=]PreAsskickingOneLiner:
--> Your fate is in the cards…!
* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: She has an interesting way of thinking things to say the least.
* ContinuityNod: Elizabeth's Mortal Blow is the same [[ThatOneAttack 9999 damage Megidolaon]] she uses as a BonusBoss in ''Persona 3'', complete with Persona 4's 9999 damage icon. All of her other skills also come from her boss moveset in that game. As an SNKBoss, she will use Diarahan to completely heal herself the first time you push her below 50% health.
* CounterAttack: Elizabeth gains one in ''Ultimax'' that inflicts the infamous ''[[DamageIncreasingDebuff Negative Penalty]]'' if it activates.
* CriticalStatusBuff: In Ultimax, entering Awakening causes Elizabeth to gain much more powerful variants of her special moves in addition to the Awakening supers everyone else gets access to.
* CurbStompBattle: Takes out Erebus in a single hit each year when the [[AsLongAsThereIsEvil monster emerges]]. Her goal is to find a way to make it more permanent.
* DevotedToYou: [[spoiler:Elizabeth's entire role in the story was finding an answer for how to rescue the P3 Protagonist from his fate as a BarrierMaiden. Keep in mind, this is '''three years''' after his HeroicSacrifice.]]
* DynamicEntry: She has a curious habit of crashing through the ceiling or wall whenever she shows up in Story Mode, and once even apologizes for doing so using that exact term.
-->'''Elizabeth''': ''(after randomly deciding to break a window) Pardon my dynamic entrance.''
* ElementalPowers: She can utilize all of them.
** PlayingWithFire: Maragidyne.
** TechnicolorFire: Blue flames. [[ItMakesSenseInContext Comes with being an elevator attendant.]]
** ShockAndAwe: Maziodyne.
** YellowLightningBlueLightning: [[PurpleIsPowerful Purple]].
** AnIcePerson: Mabufudyne.
** BlowYouAway[=/=]WindIsGreen: Magarudyne.
** CastingAShadow: [[OneHitKill Mamudoon]].
** LightEmUp: [[OneHitKill Mahamaon]].
** NonElemental: [[FinishHim Megidolaon]].
* [[BatmanCanBreatheInSpace Elizabeth Can Breathe in Space]]
* FinalBoss: Serves as this for the Shadow character's arcade modes, as well as Sho Minazuki (w/Tsukiyomi) in ''Ultimax''.
* FourIsDeath: As an SNKBoss, her Ghastly Wail super does [[NoKillLikeOverkill 44444]] damage to an opponent suffering from [[StandardStatusEffects Fe]][[ForMassiveDamage ar]].
* GameplayAndStorySegregation: Story-wise, she is one of the most powerful characters in the entire world. But to maintain competitive balance, she's equal to every other character during actual gameplay.
* GiantSpaceFleaFromNowhere[=/=]IncomingHam: She straight-up ''invades'' the plot in all her appearances. Naturally, her story mode consists of her completely derailing the entire tournament while pursuing her own goals.
* GrimReaper: The Myth/{{Greek|Mythology}} God of Death, Thanatos.
* GlassCannon: Elizabeth has tools for dealing with any situation at any time: fast normals with multi-hitting properties for close to medium range, nigh-overpowered projectiles and traps for long range zoning games, deadly setups if one can utilize her OneHitKill supers in just the right way and a super throw that can be buffed in 2 ways with a specific attack from Thanatos to chop off 60-84% of her opponent's lifebar depending on the character, even more than Kanji can with his own super throw. She also has limited defensive capabilities and the lowest stamina in the game, at 7500 HP (8000 in Ultimax). That's lower than [[FragileSpeedster Yosuke]], [[TrapMaster Naoto]], and [[SquishyWizard Yukiko]].
* HealThyself: When using Diarahan, she quickly restores a significant portion of her health (though not so quickly that she can't be attacked before the healing finishes). In Ultimax, the B and SB versions can be held to increase the amount of healing, but this will leave her vulnerable to attack.
* [[ImplacableMan Implacable Woman]]: Shrugs when hit by lightning, enjoys the view if knocked out of the air, and even if you beat her... [[http://i47.tinypic.com/250nm6b.png she doesn't exactly sweat over it]].
* ImprobableWeaponUser:
** DeathDealer
--->'''Elizabeth''' Your fate is in the cards…!
** ThrowTheBookAtThem
--->'''Elizabeth''' It's a hardcover, leather-bound edition and is quite powerful. Enough to do [[LeaningOnTheFourthWall over four digits on average]], I'd say.
* {{Kiai}}: When she uses her All Out Attack, she will whimsically and playfully yell "Chestoo~!"
* LeaningOnTheFourthWall: When she first introduces herself in story mode, she attempts to converse with the…''thing'' in space or [[MindScrew or wherever that place is]]. However, she was just telling the ''viewers'' on her location.
-->'''Elizabeth''': ''There, do you see me now? Have I forgotten to introduce myself? My name is Elizabeth.''
* {{Leitmotif}}: ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nWCtuh3p1Ps Battle Hymn of the Soul]]''
* {{Malaproper}}: She's still not used to the outside world, so she tends to stumble over phrases. Don't bother trying to correct her, because she'll just get more confused.
-->'''Elizabeth:''' I believe our encounter has borne much [[{{Malaproper}} flute]].
-->'''Yu:''' "Flute"…?
-->'''Elizabeth:''' …Flue? …Chimneys?
* MindOverMatter: Makes TV sets explode… with her mind!
* NighInvulnerability: In story, she's completely unfazed by other characters' attacks, and even smashes through a couple of ceilings by accident. In gameplay, she's [[GlassCannon very fragile]].
* NoSell: Simply ''ignores'' the powers of RealityWarper and MasterOfIllusion Shadow Labrys. She even momentarily cancels out the illusions around Labrys early in the story by just opening her grimoire.
-->'''Elizabeth''': Such parlor tricks can get stuffed!
* OhCrap: [[spoiler:The ''only'' time Elizabeth ever shows any fear is in Story Mode, when Yu Narukami pulls a {{Determinator}} with ThePowerOfFriendship and gets back up after she trounces him the first time. Aigis, however, who was watching the whole scene from afar the entire time, decides to intervene at that point and comes to Elizabeth's rescue then she dispels said Determinator, much to the latter's relief.]]
* OneHitKill: Her Mahamaon and Mamudoon attacks, which are fixed traps that activate 10 seconds after being cast, and Megidolaon, which she'll use if hit 3 times by her opponent during the short activation window, but the amount of hits absorbed by the counter carries over to additional uses if she has the SP to use it again in the same round.
* PortalDoor: Travels across time and space (and even non-tangible environments) through portals that open and close like elevator doors.
* ThePowerOfFriendship[=/=]TrueCompanions: [[spoiler:Her story ends with her realizing that what she needs to save the blue-haired boy isn't her own power, but the power of others. The same power that she saw in both Yu and his friends, as well as Aigis and the blue-haired boy and their friends. This leads to the birth of her own Arcana, the Fool, and she departs to search for companions of her own who would aid her on her quest.]]
* PrecisionFStrike: In the Japanese version, the expression she uses is "...otototoi kiyagare de gozaimasu!", which is roughly equivalent to "To hell with such parlour tricks!" or even "Such parlour tricks can fuck off!"
* SayingSoundEffectsOutLoud: She's quite fond of this.
* SkillGateCharacter: Against noobs, her massive Zio spell [[IncrediblyLamePun spells]] their doom. That said, her massive reliance on Thanatos means that being Persona Broken by skilled players absolutely destroys her.
* SNKBoss: In Score Attack Mode, [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DzNqUUd-lsY&feature=related to an absurd degree]].[[note]]she gains a faster SP recovery rate, roughly 20,000 (slightly less than three times the normal) HP, uses a full HP restore Diarahan once awakened, her [[OneHitKill Mudo and Hama]] Supers activate instantly instead of after 10 seconds and she can have multiple traps active instead of just one, her OneHitKill CounterAttack takes only 1 hit to activate instead of 3, and she deals multiple times normal damage with each hit, especially if you're suffering [[StandardStatusEffects fear status]].[[/note]]
* StandardStatusEffects: She is capable of inflicting any status effect in the game except for Silence and Rage, and ''Ultimax'' gives her a move that inflicts the Creator/ArcSystemWorks-standard Negative Penalty.
* StatusBuff: One of Thanatos's moves gives him a unique buff that increases the damage of the next Thanatos attack that uses his sword by 50%. This includes [[ForMassiveDamage Ghastly Wail.]]
* SupernaturalGoldEyes: As all other denizens of the Velvet Room.
* SuperStrength: Her story mode in Arena starts with her [[DidYouJustPunchOutCthulhu punching out the primal force of darkness]] in one shot.
* {{Teleportation}}: Goes from the [[UsefulNotes/CarlJung Collective Unconscious]] to [[SpaceZone the Moon]] to the [[EldritchLocation TV World]] in about five minutes.
* UndyingLoyalty: Ever since the end of ''The Answer'', she has not stopped trying to figure out how to rescue [[spoiler:P3's protagonist from his seal]]. That's ''three years'' so far.
* WildCard: She wandered into the tournament because she noticed something interesting was amiss, and goes and does what she wants.
* WillfullyWeak: Despite being a PersonOfMassDestruction, she holds back considerably, as she's more interested in understanding where her opponents' strength comes from than she is in beating them.

A police detective in Inaba who was revealed to be the main culprit behind the previous year's serial murders. After attempting to escape into the TV world, he was captured by the Investigation Team and subsequently imprisoned for his crimes.
However, after being called into an interrogation by a police official and thrown into TV, Adachi is coerced by Sho into assisting with his plan.
Adachi's Instant Kill is '''Yomi Drop''', where he grasps his head in pain as a black and red vortex appears below his opponent. If this vortex hits, the opponent will fall to their knees. Magatsu-Izanagi then erupts from the vortex and drags the opponent into it, dropping them into the Shadow World. As Shadows start to rise up, Magatsu-Izanagi reappears and charges up to impale the opponent right before the view turns into static.
Debuts in ''Ultimax''.
----
* AntiVillain: Adachi is not involved in the P-1 Climax by choice and even refused to work for the BigBad. At the end of his episode, it's even revealed Adachi wanted to stop the P-1 Climax to make sure ''he'' would be the one answering for murdering two people.
-->'''Adachi:''' I decided that I'd follow the rules of this reality, to "atone for my sins," [...] But if some mysterious corpse who died of unknown causes was found hanging somewhere, they'd declare the case open again and start suspecting that "the true killer" was still on the loose. If that happened, it would mess up the rules I'd set for myself.
* AscendedMeme: His Japanese title makes a reference to a meme about Adachi loving cabbage, which grew out of a bit of flavor text in the original ''Persona 4'' involving Adachi only being able to afford cabbage for his dinner one day.
** Adachi is quite infamous for giving extremely [[OffModel awkward and weird facial expressions]] and Atlus seems aware of this. Every single attack Adachi uses follows with a goofy expression.
* TheAtoner: [[spoiler:His motivation in ''Ultimax'' is a desire to "atone for his sins". This means making sure the villains don't kill anyone, so there's no "reasonable doubt" about his crimes, and returning to prison once the incident is over.]]
* BitchInSheepsClothing: Acts extremely laid back and friendly, while also being quite willing to engage some trolling and trash talking. [[spoiler:It turns out to be intentional.]]
* BadassBoast:
-->'''Adachi:''' It looks like you're still an immature brat... Now come on! I'll teach you all the lessons you need, kid.
* TheBusCameBack: Despite being imprisoned for his crimes at the end of ''Persona 4'', he shows up during the P-1 Climax incident thanks to the new BigBad's machinations.
* [[CallingYourAttacks Calling Your Personas]]
-->'''Adachi:''' Mangle them, ''Magatsu Izanagi''!
* CassandraTruth:
** Apparently confessed to everything after he was arrested. Even though it was an honest attempt to come clean, the second he mentioned the TV world he was put through "[[AllTherapistsAreMuggles some serious psych evaluations]]".
--->'''Adachi:''' Normally, I'd be immediately prosecuted and transferred to prison, but the police are having trouble. ''[...]'' Obviously, proving that you can kill people with magic isn't the kind of thing that can be demonstrated to an audience that isn't willing to listen.
** NotMeThisTime: Despite his numerous instances that he's has nothing to do with the P-1 Climax and doesn't even want to fight, none of the protagonists believe him (particularly the P4 crew). Their suspicion is understandable of course, given Adachi's [[ConsummateLiar less than stellar record in the honesty department.]]
--->'''Adachi:''' Huh? Ohh, hahaha. Well, I had intended on staying well-behaved...
* ChekhovsGun: [[spoiler:You know how the Shadows seem to ''like'' Adachi in his Instant Kill? This nature doesn't get along well with Hi-no-Kagutsuchi's Shadow-composed body, allowing Adachi to hurt him.]]
* CombatPragmatist: During Persona 4, it wasn't made entirely clear just how well Adachi fared against the Investigation Team; whether he could fight of his own at ''all'' or if it was just reliance on Magatsu-Izanagi. Here, it's made perfectly clear he's actually pretty damn tough, given how impressed ''Minazuki'' was in their "test" bout. However, Adachi has no real form, he's just excessively brutal with some sleight of hand thrown in for underhanded maneuvers.
* CombatCommentator: He's an optional commentator for matches, like Rise or Fuuka.
* DarkIsNotEvil: Played with. He's going to great lengths to [[spoiler:keep his case from being reopened and to keep any more victims from piling up]], but he's still an amoral jerk and doesn't hesitate to let everyone know it.
* DidYouJustFlipOffCthulhu: [[spoiler:He's more than willing to insult Kagutsuchi while fighting him to buy Yu some time to recover.]]
* DownloadableContent: Adachi and his story mode is an add-on available as paid DLC, though it was free DLC for a week after the release of the game.
* EarnYourHappyEnding
* EvenEvilHasStandards: Following the rules of his "game", he promised that he'd go to jail for his crimes. Part of his motivation for stopping the red fog is that if there are more mysterious killings, then he might be released under the assumption that he isn't the real killer, breaking the aforementioned rules he promised to live by.
* EvilIsPetty: One of his grabs involve tripping his opponent, and then standing over them laughing.
* EvilVersusEvil: He's a serial killer fighting an EldritchAbomination that wants to destroy the world.
** EvilVersusOblivion: Given that said EldritchAbomination wants to kill everyone in the world.
* EvilerThanThou: Considers himself to be more hateful and wretched than Sho, [[spoiler:which is why he believes that it's not too late for Sho to atone.]]
* FailedASpotCheck: He had everything set up perfectly, but failed to realize one thing:[[spoiler:that Sho could use his MindControl powers without Minazuki being in control.]]
* FluffyTamer: As shown by his One-Hit Kill move, he's the one guy who's such a colossal scumbag that the Shadows actually ''like'' him. [[spoiler:This actually turns out to be important, as Sho is aware of this behavior and plans to use Adachi's Persona to control the body of Hi-no-Kagutsuchi, which is made of Shadows. Narukami shows up before he can enact it though.]]
* GotMeDoingIt: Sho's habit of cracking {{Incredibly Lame Pun}}s rubs off on him.
-->'''Adachi:''' What kind of "Investigation Team" are you? More like "Non-vestigation Team"... Eeech, that was as lame as one of Sho's jokes.
* TheGunslinger: Like Naoto, Adachi uses a revolver in combat. [[PistolWhipping Though he prefers to hit people with it rather than shooting it.]]
** His story reveals that he's actually a crack shot and it would've been a ChekhovsSkill if [[spoiler:the {{Macguffin}} hadn't been bulletproof]].
* {{Hammerspace}}: In one of his moves, he ends up losing his revolver once he is finished, but miraculously pulls another one out of nowhere.
* HateAtFirstSight: Even though Aigis and Adachi have never met before Arena and had very little contact with each other in Ultimax, their Personas are instinctively very hostile towards each other, should they meet face-to-face. While the rivalry between Izanagi and Magatsu-Izanagi is already established, Adachi will state that Magatsu-Izanagi reacts very negatively towards Pallas Athena with the same hostility he has towards Izanagi (and she seems to be returning the 'favor'), should Aigis and Adachi be pitted against each other in a match. Given the countless parallels between Aigis and Yu (Izanagi and Pallas Athena even react positively towards each other, to the point that the two Personas slightly hesitate to fight each other) this is quite understandable even if Aigis and Adachi don't seem to have any bad blood against each other.
* HeterosexualLifePartners: He's still this with Dojima, who continues to visit him in prison despite everything he's done. Adachi genuinely appreciates it, though he refuses to admit it.
* HiddenDepths: Episode Adachi goes great lengths to show Adachi is not just a simple AffablyEvil {{Jerkass}}. For example, despite his claim in Persona 4 that he only wanted to be a cop to use a gun, he has large bits of the Detective Instruction Guide memorized. All and all, it helps make Adachi much more complex of a character, and makes his AntiVillain status more believable.
* {{Irony}}:
** Adachi is attacked in an interrogation room, identically to how he assaulted his second and third victims.
** An EldritchAbomination once again makes Adachi an UnwittingPawn in its schemes: When Adachi refuses to join the Malevolent Entity's plan, it has him thrown into the P-1 Climax to distract the Investigation Team anyway.
** A tournament where everyone can fight each other is just the sort of thing Adachi would of approved of before he was arrested. However since he was thrown into it against his will, it means he's trying to partcipate and stop the thing he would of loved to watch.
* HypocriticalHumor: He muses that whoever came up with P-1 Grand Prix must be pretty twisted, then realizes that it's kind of ironic that he of all people would think that.
* IHatePastMe: [[spoiler:His main motivation for working behind Sho's back. Adachi regrets the Inaba case and is ''not'' pleased when he's blackmailed into playing the villain again.]]
-->'''Adachi:''' Doing it because you can, huh. Y'know... watching you really irritates me. It's like seeing myself last year. Seriously, it's irritating.
* JerkassHasAPoint: While most other characters have titles that are mean spirited or crazy exaggerated, Adachi's (localized title at least) is actually right on point. It helps that he's also a jerkass.
** In the story a lot of what Adachi says ends up being completely valid despite his rather jerkish attitude.
* LateArrivalspoiler:Many of his interactions in Ultimax spoil that he was the main culprit behind the Midnight Channel case back in ''Persona 4''.
* {{Leitmotif}}: ''"Fool or Clown?"''
* LetsGetDangerous: [[spoiler:At the end of it all, Adachi decides to stop spectating and steps up to the plate in order to stop Sho and Kagatsuchi. [[CurbStompBattle While he's unsuccessful with Sho]], he teams up with Yu in order to defeat Kagatsuchi.]]
* MisanthropeSupreme: While he's apparently trying to turn over a new leaf, Adachi still hates the world and (nearly) everyone in it. [[spoiler:Most of his irritation at Sho comes from him claiming that they're the same, but Adachi plainly stats that Sho is "a brat throwing a temper-tantrum" whereas Adachi himself ''genuinely'' hates everyone and everything.]]
* MyNameIsQuestionMarks: His brief appearance in Yukari's arcade mode initially obscures his name with question marks.
* [[NiceJobBreakingItHero Nice Job Breaking It Anti-Villain]]: [[spoiler:Kagatsuchi was born when he covered Inaba in fog back in Persona 4, meaning that Adachi was indirectly responsible for everything going down in Arena and Ultimax.]]
* NobleDemon: As part of his slow HeelFaceTurn. He's still a big douche, but wishes to face justice for his crimes and eventually learns to make the same kinds of bonds he continuously mocks the Investigation Team for.
* NominalHero: He's a serial killer whose main reason for opposing the BigBad is because the main villain annoyed him. [[spoiler:In reality, he's more of a AntiHero, as he simply wants to return and face judgement for what he's done, and to stop Sho from becoming like him.]]
* NonPlayerCharacter: He's not playable in the initial arcade release of ''Ultimax''.
** PromotedToPlayable: He is a downloadable playable character for the console version of ''Ultimax.''
* ObviouslyEvil: He doesn't even try to hide the fact that he's a sociopath this time around, and any reversions back to his original goofy personality are simply done to further screw with others.
* OhCrap: Investigation Team members are understandably [[ThisIsGonnaSuck less-than-thrilled]] when they bump into him during story mode, since he's the serial killer they helped put behind bars in ''Persona 4''.
--> (paraphrased)
--> '''Yu''': [[YouHaveGOTToBeKiddingMe I don't even]]..... What are you doing here?
* OminousVisualGlitch: The TV screen will "freak out" with static and other visual glitches when Adachi uses his OneHitKill finisher. This acts as a GoryDiscretionShot that hides the ultimate fate of Adachi's opponent.
* OnlyFriend: Don't let anything you read here gove the wrong idea: Adachi is still very much a diehard evil, sociopathic scumbag. [[spoiler: And yet, due to the Social Link of ''Golden'', Adachi now has some firm bonds with Yu and Dojima, no matter how he's tried to break them. Let it be known: ''do '''not''''' talk trash about Dojima, and ''seriously'' do ''not'' threaten Yu, or you'll get the full service from the Inaba Killer.]]
* PiecesOfGod: The power of Sagiri remained inside Adachi's persona after he was possessed by Ameno. This power is part of Minazuki's plan to bend Kagutsuchi to his will.
* PistolWhipping: Adachi really likes to use his revolver to hit people with it instead of actually shooting with it.
* PunnyName: His English title contains a pun regarding "dick". Aside of referring to him acting like a [[{{Troll}} dick]], it can also mean "detective".
* PsychoticSmirk: Breaks into an insane grin when a police official under the BigBad's control tries to threaten him physically.
* RedAndBlackAndEvilAllOver: His EvilCounterpart of Yu's Persona, Magatsu-Izanagi, is covered in black and red clothing. [[spoiler:It ultimately helps its noble twin save the day.]]
* RedOniBlueOni: The blue to Sho's red.
* RevenueEnhancingDevices: Exists only as paid DLC, despite being on the disc.
* SayingTooMuch: Much like in Persona 4, Adachi often leaks important information to the Investigation Team [[VerbalBackspace before trying to cover it up]]. [[spoiler:[[InvokedTrope It's deliberate]] and is his way of [[StealthMentor making sure the Investigation Team is headed in the right direction]].]]
* TheSociopath: He doesn't care what happens to the town, and generally doesn't care what's going on beyond being annoyed he was dragged into it.
-->'''Adachi:''' This world's all about useless, shallow, so-called friendships.
** MoralSociopathy: See EvenEvilHasStandards.
* ShockAndAwe: Like Yu's Izanagi, Adachi's Magatsu-Izanagi has some electric attacks like Ziodyne and Cross Slash (though Adachi's are normal Persona attacks rather than supers).
** YellowLightningBlueLightning: Magatsu-Izanagi uses a unique shade of ''blood red'' for his lightning attacks.
* ShutUpHannibal: Refuses to be lumped together with [[spoiler:Sho because he considers his misanthropy to be more genuine and the fact that he still thinks there's a chance that Sho can find redemption and not screw up his life like he did]].
* SpannerInTheWorks
* StealthMentor: To [[spoiler:the Investigation Team. Since he can't share information directly without being killed, he pushes them in the right direction by mocking them. He also goads the Shadow Operatives into helping them out by doing the same thing.]]
* TheStarscream: Sho recruits Adachi to fight in the tournament and distract other contestants. [[spoiler:Not only does he start planning against Sho from the moment he's recruited, he never bothers to fight anyone, and gives the Team advice.]]
* SympathyForTheHero: Tells Yosuke he actually thinks quite highly of the Investigation Team, pointing out he wouldn't have let the heroes decide his fate, nor accepted his following imprisonment, otherwise.
** After he [[spoiler:fails to defeat Sho by himself]], he warns him that the Investigation Team won't go down as easily, if at all, and that if they do, the Shadow Operatives will finish the job for them.
* [[{{Deuteragonist}} Tetragonist]]: He's one of the main players of Ultimax's story, his appearance reinforces his CharacterDevelopment from the end of Persona 4, and [[spoiler:he helps Yu finish off Hi-no-Kagutsuchi at the end of Episode P4]].
* TookALevelInKindness: He's still a total psycho, but he's stayed true to his word and kept out of trouble. [[spoiler:He also seems to genuinely care about Yu and the Dojimas, though he denies it to himself.]]
* {{Troll}}:
** One of his moves has him tripping his opponent and then laughing at them.
** While getting his ass kicked by the corrupt police officer interrogating him, Adachi just grins and rubs the officer's own crimes in his face.
** He constantly trolls Sho as well, and it really makes Sho angry.
* {{Tsundere}}: Don't get the wrong idea, he totally doesn't consider Dojima a friend. While we're at it, he hates Yu's guts and only [[spoiler:saved him in his story]] as a means to an end. He most definitely ''doesn't'' show a soft spot for either of them.
* TheUnSmile: His default expression is an easygoing smile that's a ''little'' too wide.
* VillainBall: Completely averted; Adachi knows full well what he's doing and flawlessly manipulates both sides to reach the resolution he wants, albeit until his alliance with Sho went south. Played with in that he pretends to invoke this trope via SayingTooMuch "accidentally".
* VocalEvolution: For the English dub, in order to differentiate him from Narukami, Bosch uses a middle ground between his tone from the original games and The Animation (higher-pitched like The Animation, but without the rasp).
* WildCard: Was thrown into the P-1 Climax to distract the heroes. However, Adachi is also undermining the BigBad at every turn for forcing Adachi into yet another scheme.
* WithGreatPowerComesGreatInsanity: Adachi will break into unhinged expressions when using his Persona.
* WorthyOpponent: He considers Yu and the Investigation Team to be this to both him and to Sho's ambition, though good luck getting him to say it out loud.
* XanatosSpeedChess: He was a master of it as the BigBad last time, and he hasn't lost his touch as the AntiVillain here. [[spoiler:The only reason he fails to stop Sho himself in the end, is not realizing that the collected Persona Fragments would be strong enough to survive a single shot.]]
* YouCouldHaveUsedYourPowersForGood: Discussed. Adachi points out Sho Minazuki isn't much different from him: Both ended up with power, only to waste it trying to hurt others.

An amnesiac girl introduced in the ''Persona 4'' UpdatedRerelease, ''Persona 4 Golden''. She was eventually revealed to be Kusumi-no-Okami, one of the multiple avatars of ''Persona 4'''s BiggerBad, Izanami. However, after the Investigation Team defeated Izanami in the game's True Ending, Marie was freed from Izanami's control and decided to live as a human in Inaba.
When Sho Minazuki attacks Inaba, Marie joins the fray to protect her new home.
Marie's Instant Kill is '''Musubi no Ikazuchi'''. In it, she traps her enemy inside a crystal magatama. She then dons the garb and appearance of Kusumi-no-Okami and summons a divine lightning bolt to destroy the magatama her opponent is trapped in.
Debuts in ''Ultimax''.
----
* {{Angrish}}: Just like last time, she's prone to spouting this, to the point where one of her Supers is titled "[=ShutupIhateyouyoustupidjerk=]."
* AscendedExtra: Went from a Social Link turned boss into a fully playable character.
* BadassBoast: Her Instant Kill has her stating she is a goddess and the granter of minkind's desires.
* BagOfHolding: Her handbag can hold a large, Igor-themed jack-in-a-box, unlimited amount of presents which contains some sort of chocolate monster and ''thunderclouds''.
* BarrierWarrior: One of her specials is Shell of Rejection, which forms a barrier that knocks away anyone near her.
* CallBack:
** Her Persona is Kaguya, the ultimate Persona you can get from her Social Link in ''Golden'' and the Persona which she is shown with in the credits of the game.
** Marie will change into her Kusumi-no-Okami attire and summon her boss arena from ''Golden'' for her OneHitKill attack.
** Her ability to control weather is part of her gameplay, allowing her to alter the properties of her attacks.
** For one of her area control attacks, Marie summons a miniature version of Kunino-sagiri, TheDragon for Izanami in ''Persona 4''.
** For her opening animation, she will sometimes run into the arena to grab a poem that fell out of her bag.
** In her IdleAnimation, Kunino-Sagiri or Ameno-Sagiri will peer out of her bag when she yawns.
* ClothingCombat[=/=]WeaponizedHeadgear: One of her normal involves her swinging her hat around.
* EyepatchOfPower: Rather than wearing glasses, she wears a eyepatch over her left eye.
* GodInHumanForm: Due to the SplitPersonalityMerge at the end of ''Persona 4 Golden'', she is now Izanami, a god-like manifestation of the collective unconscious, in the form of a teenage girl. This allows her to create pocket dimensions in her handbag to store an entire HyperspaceArsenal, control the weather, and summon other aspects of herself, among other things.
* DownloadableContent: Like Adachi, she was free for the first week after ''Ultimax's'' release.
* FisherKingdom: Sho and the Malevolent Entity damaging the fabric of reality around Inaba in ''Ultimax'' causes Marie / Izanami, it's guardian deity, to start dying.
* HandbagOfHurt: She can swing her handbag around as an attack.
* ImprobableWeaponUser: In some of her attacks, she uses her handbag, her hat, and various strange items (such as bouncing presents and an Igor-themed jack-in-the-box) as weapons.
* JerkassHasAPoint: In contrast with most other characters, who were given mean spirited titles just to mess with them, Marie's title is actually pretty much Marie in a nutshell.
* LateArrivalspoiler:Multiple scenes and a number of her attacks give away that she's an aspect of Izanami, the former BigBad of ''Persona 4''.
* OneWingedAngel: She becomes Kusumi-no-Okami (though she calls herself Izanami-no-Mikoto) during her Instant Kill.
* PowerFloats: Floats above the ground in her divine Kusumi form.
* RememberTheNewGuy: If you did not play ''Golden'', the Investigation Team suddenly talking about her in ''Ultimax'' comes off like this. Especially jarring since she's not mentioned at all in ''Arena''.
* RevenueEnhancingDevices: Exists only as paid DLC, despite being on the disc.
* ScaryJackInTheBox: Marie can summon a jack in the box from which a giant, creepy Igor head pops out of.
* ShockAndAwe: Uses numerous lightning attacks:
** Electrifies her own body to shock opponents for her throws
** Has Kaguya summon down a thunderbolt during one of her supers.
** Summons an entire thunderstorm for her OneHitKill.
** YellowLightningBlueLightning: Her lightning is blue, like Narukami's.
* {{Tsundere}}: Her Japanese title from the LemonyNarrator straight out calls her one.
-->'''Marie:''' Ahhh! I can't believe this... [=StupidjerkIhateyou=]!
* UnexpectedCharacter: While some joked about Marie being in, nobody was serious about it. Then, Atlus pulled a fast one and announced her anyway!
* WeatherManipulation: One of her powers as a goddess is manipulation of the weather, which ties to her gameplay, as she gains some {{Status Buff}}s during different weathers. Specifically, her supers do more damage during Sunny weather, she gains slow health regeneration during Rainy weather, her cloud special creates two clouds at a time during Cloudy weather, and her SP slowly regenerates during Snowy weather. Weather can be changed through entering a new round or using [=ShutupIhateyouyoustupidjerk=], and it applies to both Maries in a mirror match (so if one Marie changes the weather, the buffs for that weather are activated for both sides).

-->''"Picture in your head your own appearance, as well as your alter-ego - your Persona."''
->'''Arcana:''' Empress\\
'''Persona:''' Margaret Selection (Yoshitsune, Cu Chulainn, Ardha, and Helel)\\
'''Main Weapon:''' Persona Cards and Persona Compendium\\
'''Style:''' [[DeathDealer Wild Card]]
->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/SayakaOhara (Japanese), Michelle Ann Dunphy (English), and Marisha Ray (English, ''Ultimax'')
Elizabeth's older sister and Igor's current assistant in the Velvet Room, Margaret originally stood by with her master as the events of ''Persona 4'' unfolded. After Narukami returns, Margaret appears within the Velvet Room to warn him that another mysterious ordeal awaits him.
Margaret appears in ''Ultimax'' as a third DLC character. She uses four Personas in battle.
Her Instant Kill is '''Morning Star''' where she summons a row of Persona cards to hit the opponent. Upon hitting, Margaret teleports both of them away, as she starts summoning Helel, which makes her create a large orb of light which she drops down on opponent, creating a large explosion of pure energy.
----
* AscendedExtra: Like Marie, she was originally a social link and an optional boss in ''Persona 4''. Now she's a playable character.
* BewareTheNiceOnes: [[SNKBoss Elizabeth]] has never beaten her in a fight; that's all that needs to be said.
* BigGood: Due to Igor being a case of RealLifeWritesThePlot, she's the most active force of heroism in the game, and serves as a direct mentor figure.
* {{Bishonen}}: [[CastFullOfPrettyBoys All of her Personas are this]] (well, with the possible exception of [[{{Hermaphrodite}} Ardha]]). Her title even hangs a giant lampshade on it.
* CallBack: Her four Personas, Yoshitsune, Cu Chulainn, Ardha, and Helel, are all Personas she uses in the optional boss fight against her in ''Persona 4''.
* CoolMask: Her "glasses" are a butterfly-themed mask.
* DeathDealer: Unlike her sister, Margaret doesn't really use her [[ThrowTheBookAtThem Persona Compendium]] to attack, instead using her tarot cards and, well, [[WrestlerInAllOfUs getting physical]].
* DownloadableContent: Like Adachi and Marie, Margaret will be DLC available when the game comes out.
* FourIsDeath: She uses four Personas in ''Ultimax'' and the fourth features in her FinishingMove.
* HolyHandGrenade: Her Instant Kill has her casting Morning Star with the help of Helel.
%%* GlassCannon: Like her sister, she's heavily reliant on persona combos (perhaps more so given that she has ''eight'' persona cards, the highest amount in the game). Unlike Elizabeth, however, Margaret employs hard-hitting physical attacks and has more health.
* LettingHerHairDown: She takes off her headband and lets her hair flow in one of her win poses.
* LongRangeFighter: Most of her moves either have a long range or knock the opponent away from her so she can use her long range attacks more effectively.
* PowerFloats: One of her opening animations has her floating in the air, looking for a suitable Persona in her grimoire.
** [[VideoGame/{{Persona 4}} Like before]], Margaret has little reason to touch the ground during combat. Even her idle stance has her at least an inch off the ground.
* RevenueEnhancingDevices: Exists only as paid DLC, despite being on the disc.
* SingleStrokeBattle: Hassou Tobi is shown as Yoshitsune dashing at the opponent and hitting with his dual swords, sliding past the opponent. The opponent is then dealt a variable number of hits depending on how close the number of hits is to the next multiple of 8. Yoshitsune then sheathes his swords, causing the final hit that knocks the opponent upward.
* SNKBoss: Though Boss Margaret is never fought directly in-game due to being a downloadable character, her Boss mode definitely qualifies for this in the same manner as Elizabeth: she gains more health, becomes faster, gets a triple jump and double air dash, does more damage, her sweep and Hassou Tobi become completely unblockable, and her Ardha's projectiles become spread shots.
* SuplexFinisher: Her Furious Action has her reforming an Izuna-style German Suplex which launches her really high in the air. It gets [[UpToEleven even more ridiculous]] in Boss Mode, as she leaps off screen and stays there for several seconds before slamming back down like a meteor.
* WrestlerInAllOfUs: Why a woman in a dress and high heels would use a SuplexFinisher is not entirely clear, other than it [[RuleOfCool just being awesome]].

'''Persona:''' Ariadne\\
'''Main Weapon:''' Great Axe\\
'''Style:''' [[EvolvingAttack Power Up]]
->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/AyanaTaketatsu (Japanese) and Creator/CindyRobinson (English)
A Shadow-hunting android similar to Aigis. For reasons yet to be explained, Labrys was thrown into the Midnight Channel, creating a replica of Inaba which serves as the stage of the "P-1 Grand Prix" and as her Midnight Channel dungeon, born out of her desire to go to school and be a real girl. Labrys' Persona, Ariadne, can weave magical threads used to both attack and stun her opponents.
As an Anti-Shadow Weapon, Labrys was forced to endure many tests that would help her develop an ego so she could gain a Persona. She grew close to a fellow sister unit of hers, #24, who taught her about life. Unfortunately, during a test run Labrys was [[spoiler:forced to fight and kill #24 for her final test]] as the scientists who created her took delight in their results, considering her only as a machine and not a real person. Filled with anger, she escapeed the facility at Yakushima and awakened her Persona in the process, but her escape was short-lived, as the facility was located on a remote island. She allowed herself to be recaptured, having held a wish in her memory that her successors could find happiness as she had tried to.
While in her hibernation brought by her sealing, she discovers that #24's last message was that every model up to Labrys is based on an IllGirl, the "mother" of the '''5th Generation''' Anti-Shadow Suppression Weapon, who wanted to go to school but couldn't because of her condition. A mysterious voice beckons Labrys that it can grant her wish to go to school as her "mother" once wished, and to forget the painful events of her existence.
Labrys' Instant Kill is '''Weaver's Art: Inquisition'''. She summons Ariadne, who fires an energy string that pins them to the wall in a web formation. Labrys then launches her axe like a boomerang at the opponent using her extendable arms, slashing them multiple times before finally slamming them into the ground with a decisive, downward swing.

When they forced her to follow the directives more closely, her stress built up and eventually she went on a rampage.]] The story is entirely on Labrys' side for this.

A mostly complete transcription of the Drama CD can be found in [[http://imaginary-numbers.dreamwidth.org/2127.html two]] [[http://imaginary-numbers.dreamwidth.org/2382.html parts]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fETsiltNXg0 (the audio could be heard here)]], but there are Persona 3 spoilers, as it takes place during January, and she doesn't even make an appearance although her name is mentioned.
* {{Badass}}: Her anime cutscene has her decimating an army of herself.
** BadassAdorable: Some of her attack quotes are quite adorable.
** BadassInDistress: The P-1 Grand Prix serves as her TV World dungeon.
* BreakTheCutie: To say that her time at the lab was bad is an understatement.
* CanonImmigrant: Went from a passing mention in a ''Persona 3'' drama CD to being a fully-fledged fighter.
* ChainPain / WhipItGood: Her Instant Kill mainly consists of her using her axe a flail by using the chain on her arm.
* ColorCodedForYourConvenience: Her axe gauge changes from gray to blue to green to yellow to red as its power grows.
* TheComicallySerious: Has this innately for some reason. Even when she was first being built.
-->'''Researcher''': ''Does it...have an accent?''
-->'''Labrys''': ''Ac...cent? [[Film/RushHour Do you not understand the words comin outta my mouth]]?''
* CurbStompBattle: During the testing she had to undergo, all her victories were essentially flawless and her performance only improved when she starting attempting to minimize the damage she inflicted. In fact, even attempting to do this at all just made her an even better fighter since she avoided brute force solutions and picked up real techniques and strategies.
* DangerouslyShortSkirt: As part of her SailorFuku.
* {{Deuteragonist}}: The Persona 4 Arena duology is generally her story primarily, with the first game essentially being a trip through her dungeon.
* EvolvingAttack: Her strength increases the more attacks she lands, allowing her to reach GameBreaker strength if she attacks frequently.
* FamilyThemeNaming: Third in the Kirijo Group Anti-Shadow RobotGirl family to use an ancient Greek term as a name.
* FlawedPrototype: [[spoiler:She was part of the testing series to develop weapons capable of combating Shadows. While they all had functional weaponry, the line she was part of was slow to develop proper egos. While she did eventually develop one, her abilities, mind and emotions were unstable, which really was not helped by the excessively cruel experiments she was forced to take part in. She was used as the basis for further development that eventually lead to Aigis, but she herself was deemed a stepping stone and a failure and was thus sealed away. Altogether, she's actually much closer to human than Aigis was, which is kind of a problem for something that's supposed to be a weapon.]]
* ForegoneConclusion: We know that in her story mode she's going to fight against models just like herself and destroy them and eventually be sealed away, though the exact details set up further plot threads.
** ShootTheShaggyDog: Becomes absolutely heart-wrenching at some points, particularly at the end where [[spoiler:she finally hits her RageBreakingPoint and actually manages to bust out of the research facility... only to learn that there's no place she can run to because the lab's been on an island the entire time. However, she caused so much damage during her escape that the reseachers no longer had the means to tamper with her memories.]]
* GoneHorriblyRight: The old Kirijo Group builds Labrys to be a [[RidiculouslyHumanRobots weapon with a heart]], but then can't believe it when she [[TurnedAgainstTheirMasters turns on them for treating her like dirt]].
* GrewBeyondTheirProgramming: The Fifth Generation were intended to build up egos and personalities through combat and occasional interaction, but the researchers actually weren't really paying attention to the right things. Labrys aside, most of the other units had also developed their own egos and merely hid such things. When they finally consider her a success, she's become so human [[spoiler:that she has a breakdown, goes on a rampage and has to be sealed away.]]
* HumansAreTheRealMonsters[=/=]WhatMeasureIsANonHuman: [[spoiler:The scientists who created Labrys and subsequently pit her against her sisters react to her reluctance and defiance to fight her best friend, a fellow android, with glee and excitement, due to the data they collected as a result. Needless to say, she does not take this well...]]
* IdentityAmnesia:
** Her personality is based on that of a real human girl, but the details of this life were locked away with special equipment [[spoiler:that is also the basis for her illusion abilities.]] This is not viewed as particularly important in itself by the story since Labrys is her own individual.
** During the story, Labrys runs around convinced that she's the student council president and has forgotten who and what she actually is. By choice.
* IJustWantToBeNormal: The world based on her psyche is built to fulfill two conditions. One is the the basic plot of the story and deals with all the testing she underwent. The second is just to be a normal, happy student with friends and respect and is the part of the world that she identifies with more.
* ImageSong: ''[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8JCl8yivdvc Now I Know]]''.
* JapanesePronouns: "Uchi."
* {{Joshikousei}}: Pretends to be one.
* KansaiRegionalAccent: In the Japanese track. In ''Ultimax'', the version of [[ShadowArchetype Shadow Labrys]] who uses Ariadne retains it.
** TranslationConvention: In the English dub she occasionally speaks with a [[UsefulNotes/AmericanAccents North Jersey[=/=]Bronx accent]].
* {{Leitmotif}}: ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YLLNFb61YZQ Spirited Girl]]'' and ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W3Dqanj4ThI The Ultimate]]'' for her boss battle. For Shadow-Type Shadow Labrys, ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=535yJPAAH7M The Almighty]]''.
* LimitBreak: Two of her Supers, Weaver's Art: Beast and Brutal Impact can deal truly incredible amounts of damage when her Axe Gauge is red, but drop the gauge to the lowest level.
* LivingWeapon: Like other Anti-Shadow Suppression Weapons, she was solely built for combat and only has emotions so that she can use a Persona.
* MasterOfIllusion: One of her main functions, and how she makes herself look like a normal human for most of the story. [[spoiler:It was also to exploit this ability that the Eerie Voice and the Malevolent Entity decided to kidnap her in the first place.]]
* MeaningfulName: Her name is the ancient Greek term for [[AnAxeToGrind a symmetrical doubleheaded axe]] that originally came from Crete; it is often associated with goddesses and femininity. In addition, the Japanese pronunciation of her name[[note]]''Rabirisu'', as opposed to ''Raburyusu''[[/note]] is one kana away from "labyrinth"[[note]]''Rabiri'''n'''su''[[/note]], the palace of Knossos which was designed to hold the Minotaur of Crete and is also derived from "labrys". Furthermore, it is believed that the goddess of the double-axe presided over Minoan palaces, especially the palace of Knossos.
* MindControlEyes: [[spoiler:When under control of the Eerie Voice.]]
* MindHive: All the remaining memories of the other 5th generation prototypes were [[GhostMemory transferred]] into her upon their destruction. [[spoiler:It's eventually revealed the ghostly "spectators" of the P-1 Grand Prix are actually what's left of the other prototypes' Shadows, that all separated from Labrys at the same time as Labrys' own Shadow.]]
* MisappliedPhlebotinum: InUniverse: She has some powerful illusion capabilities built into her, but they're actually designed to reduce Labrys' cognitive dissonance and not be actively used against others. It's Shadow Labrys that really puts these abilities to good use.
* NotSoDifferent: Reaches this conlusion about herself and Sho in Ultimax after learning of his backstory. In the P3 storyline, she gives a BreakingSpeech to him about their similarities the same way Narukami gives one to Minazuki in the P4 story.
* [[NowLetMeCarryYou My Turn To Save You]]: She was rescued from the Midnight Channel at the end of ''Arena''. In ''Ultimax'', she returns to Inaba to repay the favor.
* OohMeAccentsSlipping: In English. It... jumps around, sounding a bit like someone affecting a {{Joisey}} or Bronx accent, making it difficult for many fans to [[{{WhatTheHellIsThatAccent}} nail it down]]. This might have been due to the voice actor having difficulties with the nuances of the accent, but is {{Justified|Trope}} in her Story Mode: [[spoiler:it sounds like someone imitating an accent because ''that's exactly what it is.'']]
* OneHitKill: Brutal Impact can do this on lower-hp characters at full Axe Gauge, simply by [[ForMassiveDamage hitting that goddamn hard]]. Literally anyone here with GlassCannon or FragileSpeedster in their trope page can simply be one-shot. Others have a sliver of hp left. The Skill boosted version does enough damage to simply one-shot ''anyone'' bar the final boss.
** Of course, it's easily jumped over, or you could just Instant Kill her for trying. There's a reason high-level Labrys players don't use this move.
*** Given a use in ''Ultimax'' where it becomes a CounterAttack. Hit Labrys while she's revving this up and it's all over.
* RageBreakingPoint: After all the experiments, Labrys is holding together and while disillusioned she stays in her expected role. But when the scientists [[spoiler:decide to delete the memories of #024 she finally flips out, goes on a rampage with a proto-Persona and causes intense damage.]]
* RedEyesTakeWarning: An aversion for the most part. You wouldn't want to pick a fight with her, but otherwise she one of the pluckiest characters in the series. They mostly serve as a {{Foil}} to Aigis' [[RedOniBlueOni blue eyes]].
* RedOniBlueOni: Red to Aigis' Blue.
* RobotGirl: Aigis's predecessor in this regard.
* RidiculouslyHumanRobot: She was designed to summon a Persona and for that you need a human-like psyche and appearance. Compared to Aigis, she developed a lot faster, but not necessarily in a good way.
* RocketPunch: She and her sister units can launch their arms as projectiles and retract them with chains.
* ShipTease: With both Teddie and Yosuke.
* StoryToGameplayRatio: Her story mode only has one fight, [[spoiler:Elizabeth, trying to wake her up from the Midnight Channel's illusions]], and the rest of it is pure {{Backstory}}.
* StudentCouncilPresident: For most of the story, she believes that she's the student council president of Yasogami, which confuses the actual Yasogami students, who are fairly sure that the real president is a guy.
* SuperMode: If Labrys's axe is at its most powerful (denoted by a red axe symbol near her SP Gauge), every counter hit she lands with her axe becomes a Fatal Counter, enabling combos that weren't possible otherwise. She also gets insane damage output, especially if she has SP to burn.
* SwissArmyWeapon: Her "multi-weapon".
** AnAxeToGrind: A really huge one in matter of fact.
** JetPack: She can attach the axe into her back and use the rocket boosters as jetpack.
** PrecisionGuidedBoomerang: Justified due to its rockets.
** RocketPoweredWeapon: Has rocket boosters built into it, possibly to make it easier to swing.
* TurnedAgainstTheirMasters: The researchers didn't view the anti Shadow weapons like Labrys as really being alive or capable of thinking and feeling. so they eventually [[spoiler:drove her to a breakdown that they interpreted more literally than the usual sense.]] The resulting damages resulted in her being put into stasis while the next generation was developed.
* VariableLengthChain: inside her arms, letting them extend to almost any length.
* YouAreNumberSix: She's referred to as unit #031 at all times during her story mode until she's eventually labeled a success and given the name Labrys, which is another thing that helps her feel like an actual individual and not just a weapon.
* ZettaiRyouiki: Where she doesn't wear anything over her legs, the metal frames on her legs make it seem like she has them.

!Elizabeth (The Lethal Elevator Attendant)
[[quoteright:200:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/p4a_elizabeth_8835.png]]
[[caption-width-right:200:Megidolaon for everyone!]]
-->''"Your fate is in the cards."''
-> '''Arcana:''' Death ([=P4A=]), Fool ([=P4AU=])\\
'''Persona:''' Thanatos\\
'''Main Weapons:''' Persona Cards and Persona Compendium\\
'''Style:''' [[TheDreaded Boss]]
->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/MiyukiSawashiro (Japanese) and TaraPlatt (English)
One of Igor's previous assistants in the Velvet Room, who not only served as the keeper of the Persona Compendium in ''Persona 3'', but was also a skilled Persona user herself. After the defeat of Erebus at the end of ''The Answer'', Elizabeth left the Velvet Room to find a way to save the blue-haired boy who gave his life to seal Nyx forever. Her travels eventually take her to Inaba and the "P-1 Grand Prix"...
Her Persona, Thanatos, can utilize every single element imaginable and uses powerful, savage physical attacks.
Elizabeth's Instant Kill is '''Megidolaon''', a counter which can only be triggered when it guards against three hits. If the opponent falls for the trap, they are surrounded by Persona cards as Elizabeth summons many more to bombard them. She then summons Thanatos to conjure a giant meteor of light which obliterates the opponent.
----
* AdaptedOut: She's the only main character to not make an appearance at all in the manga adaptation.
* AllYourPowersCombined: Her Persona moves are generally based on those of other characters. For example, her Maziodyne is a weakened special move version of Yu's Ziodyne.
* AsLongAsThereIsEvil: Her story revolves entirely around her continuing search to find a way around this, so she can destroy Erebus permanently and save [[VideoGame/{{Persona3}} the boy who gave his life to seal Nyx forever]].
* {{Badass}}: To put things into perspective, she's a BonusBoss in VideoGame/{{Persona 3}}, and she takes down Erebus (the AnthropomorphicPersonification of humanity's collective death wish) in one hit on a yearly basis.
* BadassAdorable: Her naiveté, bluntness and whimsy is both endearing and hilarious. She can also utterly destroy anyone and anything with barely any effort, and made an annual tradition of ''[[spoiler:one-shotting an EldritchAbomination]]''.
* BerserkButton: Despite her easy-going nature, she seems to have a particular distaste for illusions.
-->'''Elizabeth''': ''Such parlour tricks [[SophisticatedAsHell can get stuffed!]]''
%% BigDamnHeroes
* BonusBoss: She serves as the final boss of the bonus Score Attack mode.
* CastFromHitPoints: Her Mind Charge super chops her health down to the point of awakening, but she will slowly regenerate her health back if not hit. It will also refill her SP based on the amount of health sacrificed in this way. Due to her role as a GlassCannon and her ability to heal large chunks of her health with Diarahan, this doesn't mean much.
* CatchPhrase[=/=]PreAsskickingOneLiner:
--> Your fate is in the cards…!
* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: She has an interesting way of thinking things to say the least.
* ContinuityNod: Elizabeth's Mortal Blow is the same [[ThatOneAttack 9999 damage Megidolaon]] she uses as a BonusBoss in ''Persona 3'', complete with Persona 4's 9999 damage icon. All of her other skills also come from her boss moveset in that game. As an SNKBoss, she will use Diarahan to completely heal herself the first time you push her below 50% health.
* CounterAttack: Elizabeth gains one in ''Ultimax'' that inflicts the infamous ''[[DamageIncreasingDebuff Negative Penalty]]'' if it activates.
* CriticalStatusBuff: In Ultimax, entering Awakening causes Elizabeth to gain much more powerful variants of her special moves in addition to the Awakening supers everyone else gets access to.
* CurbStompBattle: Takes out Erebus in a single hit each year when the [[AsLongAsThereIsEvil monster emerges]]. Her goal is to find a way to make it more permanent.
* DevotedToYou: [[spoiler:Elizabeth's entire role in the story was finding an answer for how to rescue the P3 Protagonist from his fate as a BarrierMaiden. Keep in mind, this is '''three years''' after his HeroicSacrifice.]]
* DynamicEntry: She has a curious habit of crashing through the ceiling or wall whenever she shows up in Story Mode, and once even apologizes for doing so using that exact term.
-->'''Elizabeth''': ''(after randomly deciding to break a window) Pardon my dynamic entrance.''
* ElementalPowers: She can utilize all of them.
** PlayingWithFire: Maragidyne.
** TechnicolorFire: Blue flames. [[ItMakesSenseInContext Comes with being an elevator attendant.]]
** ShockAndAwe: Maziodyne.
** YellowLightningBlueLightning: [[PurpleIsPowerful Purple]].
** AnIcePerson: Mabufudyne.
** BlowYouAway[=/=]WindIsGreen: Magarudyne.
** CastingAShadow: [[OneHitKill Mamudoon]].
** LightEmUp: [[OneHitKill Mahamaon]].
** NonElemental: [[FinishHim Megidolaon]].
* [[BatmanCanBreatheInSpace Elizabeth Can Breathe in Space]]
* FinalBoss: Serves as this for the Shadow character's arcade modes, as well as Sho Minazuki (w/Tsukiyomi) in ''Ultimax''.
* FourIsDeath: As an SNKBoss, her Ghastly Wail super does [[NoKillLikeOverkill 44444]] damage to an opponent suffering from [[StandardStatusEffects Fe]][[ForMassiveDamage ar]].
* GameplayAndStorySegregation: Story-wise, she is one of the most powerful characters in the entire world. But to maintain competitive balance, she's equal to every other character during actual gameplay.
* GiantSpaceFleaFromNowhere[=/=]IncomingHam: She straight-up ''invades'' the plot in all her appearances. Naturally, her story mode consists of her completely derailing the entire tournament while pursuing her own goals.
* GrimReaper: The Myth/{{Greek|Mythology}} God of Death, Thanatos.
* GlassCannon: Elizabeth has tools for dealing with any situation at any time: fast normals with multi-hitting properties for close to medium range, nigh-overpowered projectiles and traps for long range zoning games, deadly setups if one can utilize her OneHitKill supers in just the right way and a super throw that can be buffed in 2 ways with a specific attack from Thanatos to chop off 60-84% of her opponent's lifebar depending on the character, even more than Kanji can with his own super throw. She also has limited defensive capabilities and the lowest stamina in the game, at 7500 HP (8000 in Ultimax). That's lower than [[FragileSpeedster Yosuke]], [[TrapMaster Naoto]], and [[SquishyWizard Yukiko]].
* HealThyself: When using Diarahan, she quickly restores a significant portion of her health (though not so quickly that she can't be attacked before the healing finishes). In Ultimax, the B and SB versions can be held to increase the amount of healing, but this will leave her vulnerable to attack.
* [[ImplacableMan Implacable Woman]]: Shrugs when hit by lightning, enjoys the view if knocked out of the air, and even if you beat her... [[http://i47.tinypic.com/250nm6b.png she doesn't exactly sweat over it]].
* ImprobableWeaponUser:
** DeathDealer
--->'''Elizabeth''' Your fate is in the cards…!
** ThrowTheBookAtThem
--->'''Elizabeth''' It's a hardcover, leather-bound edition and is quite powerful. Enough to do [[LeaningOnTheFourthWall over four digits on average]], I'd say.
* {{Kiai}}: When she uses her All Out Attack, she will whimsically and playfully yell "Chestoo~!"
* LeaningOnTheFourthWall: When she first introduces herself in story mode, she attempts to converse with the…''thing'' in space or [[MindScrew or wherever that place is]]. However, she was just telling the ''viewers'' on her location.
-->'''Elizabeth''': ''There, do you see me now? Have I forgotten to introduce myself? My name is Elizabeth.''
* {{Leitmotif}}: ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nWCtuh3p1Ps Battle Hymn of the Soul]]''
* {{Malaproper}}: She's still not used to the outside world, so she tends to stumble over phrases. Don't bother trying to correct her, because she'll just get more confused.
-->'''Elizabeth:''' I believe our encounter has borne much [[{{Malaproper}} flute]].
-->'''Yu:''' "Flute"…?
-->'''Elizabeth:''' …Flue? …Chimneys?
* MindOverMatter: Makes TV sets explode… with her mind!
* NighInvulnerability: In story, she's completely unfazed by other characters' attacks, and even smashes through a couple of ceilings by accident. In gameplay, she's [[GlassCannon very fragile]].
* NoSell: Simply ''ignores'' the powers of RealityWarper and MasterOfIllusion Shadow Labrys. She even momentarily cancels out the illusions around Labrys early in the story by just opening her grimoire.
-->'''Elizabeth''': Such parlor tricks can get stuffed!
* OhCrap: [[spoiler:The ''only'' time Elizabeth ever shows any fear is in Story Mode, when Yu Narukami pulls a {{Determinator}} with ThePowerOfFriendship and gets back up after she trounces him the first time. Aigis, however, who was watching the whole scene from afar the entire time, decides to intervene at that point and comes to Elizabeth's rescue then she dispels said Determinator, much to the latter's relief.]]
* OneHitKill: Her Mahamaon and Mamudoon attacks, which are fixed traps that activate 10 seconds after being cast, and Megidolaon, which she'll use if hit 3 times by her opponent during the short activation window, but the amount of hits absorbed by the counter carries over to additional uses if she has the SP to use it again in the same round.
* PortalDoor: Travels across time and space (and even non-tangible environments) through portals that open and close like elevator doors.
* ThePowerOfFriendship[=/=]TrueCompanions: [[spoiler:Her story ends with her realizing that what she needs to save the blue-haired boy isn't her own power, but the power of others. The same power that she saw in both Yu and his friends, as well as Aigis and the blue-haired boy and their friends. This leads to the birth of her own Arcana, the Fool, and she departs to search for companions of her own who would aid her on her quest.]]
* PrecisionFStrike: In the Japanese version, the expression she uses is "...otototoi kiyagare de gozaimasu!", which is roughly equivalent to "To hell with such parlour tricks!" or even "Such parlour tricks can fuck off!"
* SayingSoundEffectsOutLoud: She's quite fond of this.
* SkillGateCharacter: Against noobs, her massive Zio spell [[IncrediblyLamePun spells]] their doom. That said, her massive reliance on Thanatos means that being Persona Broken by skilled players absolutely destroys her.
* SNKBoss: In Score Attack Mode, [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DzNqUUd-lsY&feature=related to an absurd degree]].[[note]]she gains a faster SP recovery rate, roughly 20,000 (slightly less than three times the normal) HP, uses a full HP restore Diarahan once awakened, her [[OneHitKill Mudo and Hama]] Supers activate instantly instead of after 10 seconds and she can have multiple traps active instead of just one, her OneHitKill CounterAttack takes only 1 hit to activate instead of 3, and she deals multiple times normal damage with each hit, especially if you're suffering [[StandardStatusEffects fear status]].[[/note]]
* StandardStatusEffects: She is capable of inflicting any status effect in the game except for Silence and Rage, and ''Ultimax'' gives her a move that inflicts the Creator/ArcSystemWorks-standard Negative Penalty.
* StatusBuff: One of Thanatos's moves gives him a unique buff that increases the damage of the next Thanatos attack that uses his sword by 50%. This includes [[ForMassiveDamage Ghastly Wail.]]
* SupernaturalGoldEyes: As all other denizens of the Velvet Room.
* SuperStrength: Her story mode in Arena starts with her [[DidYouJustPunchOutCthulhu punching out the primal force of darkness]] in one shot.
* {{Teleportation}}: Goes from the [[UsefulNotes/CarlJung Collective Unconscious]] to [[SpaceZone the Moon]] to the [[EldritchLocation TV World]] in about five minutes.
* UndyingLoyalty: Ever since the end of ''The Answer'', she has not stopped trying to figure out how to rescue [[spoiler:P3's protagonist from his seal]]. That's ''three years'' so far.
* WildCard: She wandered into the tournament because she noticed something interesting was amiss, and goes and does what she wants.
* WillfullyWeak: Despite being a PersonOfMassDestruction, she holds back considerably, as she's more interested in understanding where her opponents' strength comes from than she is in beating them.

!Tohru Adachi (The Egocentric Police Dick)
[[quoteright:200:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/adachi_u_9535.png]]
[[caption-width-right:200:This world is shit as always!]]
-->''"How does it feel when I beat you? Are you pissed? Miserable? Frustrated? That's what it's like to lose."''
->'''Arcana:''' Jester\\
'''Persona:''' Magatsu-Izanagi\\
'''Main Weapon:''' Handgun\\
'''Style:''' [[TryingToCatchMeFightingDirty Disruption]]
->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/MitsuakiMadono (Japanese) and Creator/JohnnyYongBosch (English)
A police detective in Inaba who was revealed to be the main culprit behind the previous year's serial murders. After attempting to escape into the TV world, he was captured by the Investigation Team and subsequently imprisoned for his crimes.
However, after being called into an interrogation by a police official and thrown into TV, Adachi is coerced by Sho into assisting with his plan.
Adachi's Instant Kill is '''Yomi Drop''', where he grasps his head in pain as a black and red vortex appears below his opponent. If this vortex hits, the opponent will fall to their knees. Magatsu-Izanagi then erupts from the vortex and drags the opponent into it, dropping them into the Shadow World. As Shadows start to rise up, Magatsu-Izanagi reappears and charges up to impale the opponent right before the view turns into static.
Debuts in ''Ultimax''.
----
* AntiVillain: Adachi is not involved in the P-1 Climax by choice and even refused to work for the BigBad. At the end of his episode, it's even revealed Adachi wanted to stop the P-1 Climax to make sure ''he'' would be the one answering for murdering two people.
-->'''Adachi:''' I decided that I'd follow the rules of this reality, to "atone for my sins," [...] But if some mysterious corpse who died of unknown causes was found hanging somewhere, they'd declare the case open again and start suspecting that "the true killer" was still on the loose. If that happened, it would mess up the rules I'd set for myself.
* AscendedMeme: His Japanese title makes a reference to a meme about Adachi loving cabbage, which grew out of a bit of flavor text in the original ''Persona 4'' involving Adachi only being able to afford cabbage for his dinner one day.
** Adachi is quite infamous for giving extremely [[OffModel awkward and weird facial expressions]] and Atlus seems aware of this. Every single attack Adachi uses follows with a goofy expression.
* TheAtoner: [[spoiler:His motivation in ''Ultimax'' is a desire to "atone for his sins". This means making sure the villains don't kill anyone, so there's no "reasonable doubt" about his crimes, and returning to prison once the incident is over.]]
* BitchInSheepsClothing: Acts extremely laid back and friendly, while also being quite willing to engage some trolling and trash talking. [[spoiler:It turns out to be intentional.]]
* BadassBoast:
-->'''Adachi:''' It looks like you're still an immature brat... Now come on! I'll teach you all the lessons you need, kid.
* TheBusCameBack: Despite being imprisoned for his crimes at the end of ''Persona 4'', he shows up during the P-1 Climax incident thanks to the new BigBad's machinations.
* [[CallingYourAttacks Calling Your Personas]]
-->'''Adachi:''' Mangle them, ''Magatsu Izanagi''!
* CassandraTruth:
** Apparently confessed to everything after he was arrested. Even though it was an honest attempt to come clean, the second he mentioned the TV world he was put through "[[AllTherapistsAreMuggles some serious psych evaluations]]".
--->'''Adachi:''' Normally, I'd be immediately prosecuted and transferred to prison, but the police are having trouble. ''[...]'' Obviously, proving that you can kill people with magic isn't the kind of thing that can be demonstrated to an audience that isn't willing to listen.
** NotMeThisTime: Despite his numerous instances that he's has nothing to do with the P-1 Climax and doesn't even want to fight, none of the protagonists believe him (particularly the P4 crew). Their suspicion is understandable of course, given Adachi's [[ConsummateLiar less than stellar record in the honesty department.]]
--->'''Adachi:''' Huh? Ohh, hahaha. Well, I had intended on staying well-behaved...
* ChekhovsGun: [[spoiler:You know how the Shadows seem to ''like'' Adachi in his Instant Kill? This nature doesn't get along well with Hi-no-Kagutsuchi's Shadow-composed body, allowing Adachi to hurt him.]]
* CombatPragmatist: During Persona 4, it wasn't made entirely clear just how well Adachi fared against the Investigation Team; whether he could fight of his own at ''all'' or if it was just reliance on Magatsu-Izanagi. Here, it's made perfectly clear he's actually pretty damn tough, given how impressed ''Minazuki'' was in their "test" bout. However, Adachi has no real form, he's just excessively brutal with some sleight of hand thrown in for underhanded maneuvers.
* CombatCommentator: He's an optional commentator for matches, like Rise or Fuuka.
* DarkIsNotEvil: Played with. He's going to great lengths to [[spoiler:keep his case from being reopened and to keep any more victims from piling up]], but he's still an amoral jerk and doesn't hesitate to let everyone know it.
* DidYouJustFlipOffCthulhu: [[spoiler:He's more than willing to insult Kagutsuchi while fighting him to buy Yu some time to recover.]]
* DownloadableContent: Adachi and his story mode is an add-on available as paid DLC, though it was free DLC for a week after the release of the game.
* EarnYourHappyEnding
* EvenEvilHasStandards: Following the rules of his "game", he promised that he'd go to jail for his crimes. Part of his motivation for stopping the red fog is that if there are more mysterious killings, then he might be released under the assumption that he isn't the real killer, breaking the aforementioned rules he promised to live by.
* EvilIsPetty: One of his grabs involve tripping his opponent, and then standing over them laughing.
* EvilVersusEvil: He's a serial killer fighting an EldritchAbomination that wants to destroy the world.
** EvilVersusOblivion: Given that said EldritchAbomination wants to kill everyone in the world.
* EvilerThanThou: Considers himself to be more hateful and wretched than Sho, [[spoiler:which is why he believes that it's not too late for Sho to atone.]]
* FailedASpotCheck: He had everything set up perfectly, but failed to realize one thing:[[spoiler:that Sho could use his MindControl powers without Minazuki being in control.]]
* FluffyTamer: As shown by his One-Hit Kill move, he's the one guy who's such a colossal scumbag that the Shadows actually ''like'' him. [[spoiler:This actually turns out to be important, as Sho is aware of this behavior and plans to use Adachi's Persona to control the body of Hi-no-Kagutsuchi, which is made of Shadows. Narukami shows up before he can enact it though.]]
* GotMeDoingIt: Sho's habit of cracking {{Incredibly Lame Pun}}s rubs off on him.
-->'''Adachi:''' What kind of "Investigation Team" are you? More like "Non-vestigation Team"... Eeech, that was as lame as one of Sho's jokes.
* TheGunslinger: Like Naoto, Adachi uses a revolver in combat. [[PistolWhipping Though he prefers to hit people with it rather than shooting it.]]
** His story reveals that he's actually a crack shot and it would've been a ChekhovsSkill if [[spoiler:the {{Macguffin}} hadn't been bulletproof]].
* {{Hammerspace}}: In one of his moves, he ends up losing his revolver once he is finished, but miraculously pulls another one out of nowhere.
* HateAtFirstSight: Even though Aigis and Adachi have never met before Arena and had very little contact with each other in Ultimax, their Personas are instinctively very hostile towards each other, should they meet face-to-face. While the rivalry between Izanagi and Magatsu-Izanagi is already established, Adachi will state that Magatsu-Izanagi reacts very negatively towards Pallas Athena with the same hostility he has towards Izanagi (and she seems to be returning the 'favor'), should Aigis and Adachi be pitted against each other in a match. Given the countless parallels between Aigis and Yu (Izanagi and Pallas Athena even react positively towards each other, to the point that the two Personas slightly hesitate to fight each other) this is quite understandable even if Aigis and Adachi don't seem to have any bad blood against each other.
* HeterosexualLifePartners: He's still this with Dojima, who continues to visit him in prison despite everything he's done. Adachi genuinely appreciates it, though he refuses to admit it.
* HiddenDepths: Episode Adachi goes great lengths to show Adachi is not just a simple AffablyEvil {{Jerkass}}. For example, despite his claim in Persona 4 that he only wanted to be a cop to use a gun, he has large bits of the Detective Instruction Guide memorized. All and all, it helps make Adachi much more complex of a character, and makes his AntiVillain status more believable.
* {{Irony}}:
** Adachi is attacked in an interrogation room, identically to how he assaulted his second and third victims.
** An EldritchAbomination once again makes Adachi an UnwittingPawn in its schemes: When Adachi refuses to join the Malevolent Entity's plan, it has him thrown into the P-1 Climax to distract the Investigation Team anyway.
** A tournament where everyone can fight each other is just the sort of thing Adachi would of approved of before he was arrested. However since he was thrown into it against his will, it means he's trying to partcipate and stop the thing he would of loved to watch.
* HypocriticalHumor: He muses that whoever came up with P-1 Grand Prix must be pretty twisted, then realizes that it's kind of ironic that he of all people would think that.
* IHatePastMe: [[spoiler:His main motivation for working behind Sho's back. Adachi regrets the Inaba case and is ''not'' pleased when he's blackmailed into playing the villain again.]]
-->'''Adachi:''' Doing it because you can, huh. Y'know... watching you really irritates me. It's like seeing myself last year. Seriously, it's irritating.
* JerkassHasAPoint: While most other characters have titles that are mean spirited or crazy exaggerated, Adachi's (localized title at least) is actually right on point. It helps that he's also a jerkass.
** In the story a lot of what Adachi says ends up being completely valid despite his rather jerkish attitude.
* LateArrivalspoiler:Many of his interactions in Ultimax spoil that he was the main culprit behind the Midnight Channel case back in ''Persona 4''.
* {{Leitmotif}}: ''"Fool or Clown?"''
* LetsGetDangerous: [[spoiler:At the end of it all, Adachi decides to stop spectating and steps up to the plate in order to stop Sho and Kagatsuchi. [[CurbStompBattle While he's unsuccessful with Sho]], he teams up with Yu in order to defeat Kagatsuchi.]]
* MisanthropeSupreme: While he's apparently trying to turn over a new leaf, Adachi still hates the world and (nearly) everyone in it. [[spoiler:Most of his irritation at Sho comes from him claiming that they're the same, but Adachi plainly stats that Sho is "a brat throwing a temper-tantrum" whereas Adachi himself ''genuinely'' hates everyone and everything.]]
* MyNameIsQuestionMarks: His brief appearance in Yukari's arcade mode initially obscures his name with question marks.
* [[NiceJobBreakingItHero Nice Job Breaking It Anti-Villain]]: [[spoiler:Kagatsuchi was born when he covered Inaba in fog back in Persona 4, meaning that Adachi was indirectly responsible for everything going down in Arena and Ultimax.]]
* NobleDemon: As part of his slow HeelFaceTurn. He's still a big douche, but wishes to face justice for his crimes and eventually learns to make the same kinds of bonds he continuously mocks the Investigation Team for.
* NominalHero: He's a serial killer whose main reason for opposing the BigBad is because the main villain annoyed him. [[spoiler:In reality, he's more of a AntiHero, as he simply wants to return and face judgement for what he's done, and to stop Sho from becoming like him.]]
* NonPlayerCharacter: He's not playable in the initial arcade release of ''Ultimax''.
** PromotedToPlayable: He is a downloadable playable character for the console version of ''Ultimax.''
* ObviouslyEvil: He doesn't even try to hide the fact that he's a sociopath this time around, and any reversions back to his original goofy personality are simply done to further screw with others.
* OhCrap: Investigation Team members are understandably [[ThisIsGonnaSuck less-than-thrilled]] when they bump into him during story mode, since he's the serial killer they helped put behind bars in ''Persona 4''.
--> (paraphrased)
--> '''Yu''': [[YouHaveGOTToBeKiddingMe I don't even]]..... What are you doing here?
* OminousVisualGlitch: The TV screen will "freak out" with static and other visual glitches when Adachi uses his OneHitKill finisher. This acts as a GoryDiscretionShot that hides the ultimate fate of Adachi's opponent.
* OnlyFriend: Don't let anything you read here gove the wrong idea: Adachi is still very much a diehard evil, sociopathic scumbag. [[spoiler: And yet, due to the Social Link of ''Golden'', Adachi now has some firm bonds with Yu and Dojima, no matter how he's tried to break them. Let it be known: ''do '''not''''' talk trash about Dojima, and ''seriously'' do ''not'' threaten Yu, or you'll get the full service from the Inaba Killer.]]
* PiecesOfGod: The power of Sagiri remained inside Adachi's persona after he was possessed by Ameno. This power is part of Minazuki's plan to bend Kagutsuchi to his will.
* PistolWhipping: Adachi really likes to use his revolver to hit people with it instead of actually shooting with it.
* PunnyName: His English title contains a pun regarding "dick". Aside of referring to him acting like a [[{{Troll}} dick]], it can also mean "detective".
* PsychoticSmirk: Breaks into an insane grin when a police official under the BigBad's control tries to threaten him physically.
* RedAndBlackAndEvilAllOver: His EvilCounterpart of Yu's Persona, Magatsu-Izanagi, is covered in black and red clothing. [[spoiler:It ultimately helps its noble twin save the day.]]
* RedOniBlueOni: The blue to Sho's red.
* RevenueEnhancingDevices: Exists only as paid DLC, despite being on the disc.
* SayingTooMuch: Much like in Persona 4, Adachi often leaks important information to the Investigation Team [[VerbalBackspace before trying to cover it up]]. [[spoiler:[[InvokedTrope It's deliberate]] and is his way of [[StealthMentor making sure the Investigation Team is headed in the right direction]].]]
* TheSociopath: He doesn't care what happens to the town, and generally doesn't care what's going on beyond being annoyed he was dragged into it.
-->'''Adachi:''' This world's all about useless, shallow, so-called friendships.
** MoralSociopathy: See EvenEvilHasStandards.
* ShockAndAwe: Like Yu's Izanagi, Adachi's Magatsu-Izanagi has some electric attacks like Ziodyne and Cross Slash (though Adachi's are normal Persona attacks rather than supers).
** YellowLightningBlueLightning: Magatsu-Izanagi uses a unique shade of ''blood red'' for his lightning attacks.
* ShutUpHannibal: Refuses to be lumped together with [[spoiler:Sho because he considers his misanthropy to be more genuine and the fact that he still thinks there's a chance that Sho can find redemption and not screw up his life like he did]].
* SpannerInTheWorks
* StealthMentor: To [[spoiler:the Investigation Team. Since he can't share information directly without being killed, he pushes them in the right direction by mocking them. He also goads the Shadow Operatives into helping them out by doing the same thing.]]
* TheStarscream: Sho recruits Adachi to fight in the tournament and distract other contestants. [[spoiler:Not only does he start planning against Sho from the moment he's recruited, he never bothers to fight anyone, and gives the Team advice.]]
* SympathyForTheHero: Tells Yosuke he actually thinks quite highly of the Investigation Team, pointing out he wouldn't have let the heroes decide his fate, nor accepted his following imprisonment, otherwise.
** After he [[spoiler:fails to defeat Sho by himself]], he warns him that the Investigation Team won't go down as easily, if at all, and that if they do, the Shadow Operatives will finish the job for them.
* [[{{Deuteragonist}} Tetragonist]]: He's one of the main players of Ultimax's story, his appearance reinforces his CharacterDevelopment from the end of Persona 4, and [[spoiler:he helps Yu finish off Hi-no-Kagutsuchi at the end of Episode P4]].
* TookALevelInKindness: He's still a total psycho, but he's stayed true to his word and kept out of trouble. [[spoiler:He also seems to genuinely care about Yu and the Dojimas, though he denies it to himself.]]
* {{Troll}}:
** One of his moves has him tripping his opponent and then laughing at them.
** While getting his ass kicked by the corrupt police officer interrogating him, Adachi just grins and rubs the officer's own crimes in his face.
** He constantly trolls Sho as well, and it really makes Sho angry.
* {{Tsundere}}: Don't get the wrong idea, he totally doesn't consider Dojima a friend. While we're at it, he hates Yu's guts and only [[spoiler:saved him in his story]] as a means to an end. He most definitely ''doesn't'' show a soft spot for either of them.
* TheUnSmile: His default expression is an easygoing smile that's a ''little'' too wide.
* VillainBall: Completely averted; Adachi knows full well what he's doing and flawlessly manipulates both sides to reach the resolution he wants, albeit until his alliance with Sho went south. Played with in that he pretends to invoke this trope via SayingTooMuch "accidentally".
* VocalEvolution: For the English dub, in order to differentiate him from Narukami, Bosch uses a middle ground between his tone from the original games and The Animation (higher-pitched like The Animation, but without the rasp).
* WildCard: Was thrown into the P-1 Climax to distract the heroes. However, Adachi is also undermining the BigBad at every turn for forcing Adachi into yet another scheme.
* WithGreatPowerComesGreatInsanity: Adachi will break into unhinged expressions when using his Persona.
* WorthyOpponent: He considers Yu and the Investigation Team to be this to both him and to Sho's ambition, though good luck getting him to say it out loud.
* XanatosSpeedChess: He was a master of it as the BigBad last time, and he hasn't lost his touch as the AntiVillain here. [[spoiler:The only reason he fails to stop Sho himself in the end, is not realizing that the collected Persona Fragments would be strong enough to survive a single shot.]]
* YouCouldHaveUsedYourPowersForGood: Discussed. Adachi points out Sho Minazuki isn't much different from him: Both ended up with power, only to waste it trying to hurt others.

!Marie (The Antisocial Poet of the Hollow Forest)
[[quoteright:200:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/rsz_1rsz_maire_ultimax_8841.png]]
[[caption-width-right:200:Her angst is forevermore!]]
-->''"[[AGodAmI I am Izanami-no-Mikoto]], I grant mankind what they yearn for. What is your wish?"''
->'''Arcana:''' Aeon\\
'''Persona:''' Kaguya-hime\\
'''Main Weapon:''' Handbag\\
'''Style:''' [[TrapMaster Miracles]]
->'''Voiced by:''' Kana Hanazawa (Japanese), Creator/EdenRiegel (English)
An amnesiac girl introduced in the ''Persona 4'' UpdatedRerelease, ''Persona 4 Golden''. She was eventually revealed to be Kusumi-no-Okami, one of the multiple avatars of ''Persona 4'''s BiggerBad, Izanami. However, after the Investigation Team defeated Izanami in the game's True Ending, Marie was freed from Izanami's control and decided to live as a human in Inaba.
When Sho Minazuki attacks Inaba, Marie joins the fray to protect her new home.
Marie's Instant Kill is '''Musubi no Ikazuchi'''. In it, she traps her enemy inside a crystal magatama. She then dons the garb and appearance of Kusumi-no-Okami and summons a divine lightning bolt to destroy the magatama her opponent is trapped in.
Debuts in ''Ultimax''.
----
* {{Angrish}}: Just like last time, she's prone to spouting this, to the point where one of her Supers is titled "[=ShutupIhateyouyoustupidjerk=]."
* AscendedExtra: Went from a Social Link turned boss into a fully playable character.
* BadassBoast: Her Instant Kill has her stating she is a goddess and the granter of minkind's desires.
* BagOfHolding: Her handbag can hold a large, Igor-themed jack-in-a-box, unlimited amount of presents which contains some sort of chocolate monster and ''thunderclouds''.
* BarrierWarrior: One of her specials is Shell of Rejection, which forms a barrier that knocks away anyone near her.
* CallBack:
** Her Persona is Kaguya, the ultimate Persona you can get from her Social Link in ''Golden'' and the Persona which she is shown with in the credits of the game.
** Marie will change into her Kusumi-no-Okami attire and summon her boss arena from ''Golden'' for her OneHitKill attack.
** Her ability to control weather is part of her gameplay, allowing her to alter the properties of her attacks.
** For one of her area control attacks, Marie summons a miniature version of Kunino-sagiri, TheDragon for Izanami in ''Persona 4''.
** For her opening animation, she will sometimes run into the arena to grab a poem that fell out of her bag.
** In her IdleAnimation, Kunino-Sagiri or Ameno-Sagiri will peer out of her bag when she yawns.
* ClothingCombat[=/=]WeaponizedHeadgear: One of her normal involves her swinging her hat around.
* EyepatchOfPower: Rather than wearing glasses, she wears a eyepatch over her left eye.
* GodInHumanForm: Due to the SplitPersonalityMerge at the end of ''Persona 4 Golden'', she is now Izanami, a god-like manifestation of the collective unconscious, in the form of a teenage girl. This allows her to create pocket dimensions in her handbag to store an entire HyperspaceArsenal, control the weather, and summon other aspects of herself, among other things.
* DownloadableContent: Like Adachi, she was free for the first week after ''Ultimax's'' release.
* FisherKingdom: Sho and the Malevolent Entity damaging the fabric of reality around Inaba in ''Ultimax'' causes Marie / Izanami, it's guardian deity, to start dying.
* HandbagOfHurt: She can swing her handbag around as an attack.
* ImprobableWeaponUser: In some of her attacks, she uses her handbag, her hat, and various strange items (such as bouncing presents and an Igor-themed jack-in-the-box) as weapons.
* JerkassHasAPoint: In contrast with most other characters, who were given mean spirited titles just to mess with them, Marie's title is actually pretty much Marie in a nutshell.
* LateArrivalspoiler:Multiple scenes and a number of her attacks give away that she's an aspect of Izanami, the former BigBad of ''Persona 4''.
* OneWingedAngel: She becomes Kusumi-no-Okami (though she calls herself Izanami-no-Mikoto) during her Instant Kill.
* PowerFloats: Floats above the ground in her divine Kusumi form.
* RememberTheNewGuy: If you did not play ''Golden'', the Investigation Team suddenly talking about her in ''Ultimax'' comes off like this. Especially jarring since she's not mentioned at all in ''Arena''.
* RevenueEnhancingDevices: Exists only as paid DLC, despite being on the disc.
* ScaryJackInTheBox: Marie can summon a jack in the box from which a giant, creepy Igor head pops out of.
* ShockAndAwe: Uses numerous lightning attacks:
** Electrifies her own body to shock opponents for her throws
** Has Kaguya summon down a thunderbolt during one of her supers.
** Summons an entire thunderstorm for her OneHitKill.
** YellowLightningBlueLightning: Her lightning is blue, like Narukami's.
* {{Tsundere}}: Her Japanese title from the LemonyNarrator straight out calls her one.
-->'''Marie:''' Ahhh! I can't believe this... [=StupidjerkIhateyou=]!
* UnexpectedCharacter: While some joked about Marie being in, nobody was serious about it. Then, Atlus pulled a fast one and announced her anyway!
* WeatherManipulation: One of her powers as a goddess is manipulation of the weather, which ties to her gameplay, as she gains some {{Status Buff}}s during different weathers. Specifically, her supers do more damage during Sunny weather, she gains slow health regeneration during Rainy weather, her cloud special creates two clouds at a time during Cloudy weather, and her SP slowly regenerates during Snowy weather. Weather can be changed through entering a new round or using [=ShutupIhateyouyoustupidjerk=], and it applies to both Maries in a mirror match (so if one Marie changes the weather, the buffs for that weather are activated for both sides).

[[folder:Margaret]]
!Margaret (The Sadistic Stud-Keeping Secretary)
[[quoteright:200:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/margaret_7849.png]]
[[caption-width-right:200:The long-awaited Empress descends!]]
-->''"Picture in your head your own appearance, as well as your alter-ego - your Persona."''
->'''Arcana:''' Empress\\
'''Persona:''' Margaret Selection (Yoshitsune, Cu Chulainn, Ardha, and Helel)\\
'''Main Weapon:''' Persona Cards and Persona Compendium\\
'''Style:''' [[DeathDealer Wild Card]]
->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/SayakaOhara (Japanese), Michelle Ann Dunphy (English), and Marisha Ray (English, ''Ultimax'')
Elizabeth's older sister and Igor's current assistant in the Velvet Room, Margaret originally stood by with her master as the events of ''Persona 4'' unfolded. After Narukami returns, Margaret appears within the Velvet Room to warn him that another mysterious ordeal awaits him.
Margaret appears in ''Ultimax'' as a third DLC character. She uses four Personas in battle.
Her Instant Kill is '''Morning Star''' where she summons a row of Persona cards to hit the opponent. Upon hitting, Margaret teleports both of them away, as she starts summoning Helel, which makes her create a large orb of light which she drops down on opponent, creating a large explosion of pure energy.
----
* AscendedExtra: Like Marie, she was originally a social link and an optional boss in ''Persona 4''. Now she's a playable character.
* BewareTheNiceOnes: [[SNKBoss Elizabeth]] has never beaten her in a fight; that's all that needs to be said.
* BigGood: Due to Igor being a case of RealLifeWritesThePlot, she's the most active force of heroism in the game, and serves as a direct mentor figure.
* {{Bishonen}}: [[CastFullOfPrettyBoys All of her Personas are this]] (well, with the possible exception of [[{{Hermaphrodite}} Ardha]]). Her title even hangs a giant lampshade on it.
* CallBack: Her four Personas, Yoshitsune, Cu Chulainn, Ardha, and Helel, are all Personas she uses in the optional boss fight against her in ''Persona 4''.
* CoolMask: Her "glasses" are a butterfly-themed mask.
* DeathDealer: Unlike her sister, Margaret doesn't really use her [[ThrowTheBookAtThem Persona Compendium]] to attack, instead using her tarot cards and, well, [[WrestlerInAllOfUs getting physical]].
* DownloadableContent: Like Adachi and Marie, Margaret will be DLC available when the game comes out.
* FourIsDeath: She uses four Personas in ''Ultimax'' and the fourth features in her FinishingMove.
* HolyHandGrenade: Her Instant Kill has her casting Morning Star with the help of Helel.
%%* GlassCannon: Like her sister, she's heavily reliant on persona combos (perhaps more so given that she has ''eight'' persona cards, the highest amount in the game). Unlike Elizabeth, however, Margaret employs hard-hitting physical attacks and has more health.
* LettingHerHairDown: She takes off her headband and lets her hair flow in one of her win poses.
* LongRangeFighter: Most of her moves either have a long range or knock the opponent away from her so she can use her long range attacks more effectively.
* PowerFloats: One of her opening animations has her floating in the air, looking for a suitable Persona in her grimoire.
** [[VideoGame/{{Persona 4}} Like before]], Margaret has little reason to touch the ground during combat. Even her idle stance has her at least an inch off the ground.
* RevenueEnhancingDevices: Exists only as paid DLC, despite being on the disc.
* SingleStrokeBattle: Hassou Tobi is shown as Yoshitsune dashing at the opponent and hitting with his dual swords, sliding past the opponent. The opponent is then dealt a variable number of hits depending on how close the number of hits is to the next multiple of 8. Yoshitsune then sheathes his swords, causing the final hit that knocks the opponent upward.
* SNKBoss: Though Boss Margaret is never fought directly in-game due to being a downloadable character, her Boss mode definitely qualifies for this in the same manner as Elizabeth: she gains more health, becomes faster, gets a triple jump and double air dash, does more damage, her sweep and Hassou Tobi become completely unblockable, and her Ardha's projectiles become spread shots.
* SuplexFinisher: Her Furious Action has her reforming an Izuna-style German Suplex which launches her really high in the air. It gets [[UpToEleven even more ridiculous]] in Boss Mode, as she leaps off screen and stays there for several seconds before slamming back down like a meteor.
* WrestlerInAllOfUs: Why a woman in a dress and high heels would use a SuplexFinisher is not entirely clear, other than it [[RuleOfCool just being awesome]].
