History Fanfic / TheEvilQueen

* UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: Principal Kobayakawa's refusal to punish Kamoshida for his obvious crimes, even one that resulted in Eiko's permeant injury, caused Makoto to snap and make her abandon any sense of Innocent Until Proven Guilty and instead adopt a view of BlackAndWhiteInsanity where ''anything'' she did to punish what she saw as trouble was justified in her view, beginning her ReignOfTerror with her first step being stealing power from the Principal.

* TheAtoner: [[spoiler:Makoto, in the end.]]
* AxCrazy: Being MadeOfEvil, [[spoiler:Loki]] is most certainly violent and crazy, if the first words shouted out of his mouth didn't clue you in.
-->'''[[spoiler:Loki]]''': '''[[spoiler:KILL! KILL THEM ALL! MAKE THEM ALL SUFFER! BREAK THEIR MINDS AND SOULS!]]'''

* NotSoDifferent: Makoto abuses her power in school to turn it into her own personal fiefdom [[spoiler:and blackmails Akira with the intent of forcing him into a sexual encounter with her]], just like Kamoshida.

* DoubleStandardRapeFemaleOnMale: Averted. [[spoiler:When Makoto forces herself on Akira and blackmails him into spending her birthday with her (with intent to have sex with him implied)]], it is treated with all the horror it deserves. Later on, [[spoiler:during their confrontation in the Metaverse, Akira]] actually brings this up and asks her if her actions would be okay if she was a man and he was a woman.

* SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome: In the end [[spoiler: Shadow Makoto is defeated and forces Makoto's reform, but it can't undo the physical, mental, and sexual abuse he had to endure. The ending thus makes it clear Joker will keep his distance from her as she tries to fix herself, with friendship or even the lightest of good terms out of the question. This is pretty much a natural and recommended action for people coming out of abusive relationships as it is still ill advised to be around your abuser even if they genuinely have reformed.]] This is also why [[spoiler: Joker and Makoto don't hook up despite AuthorAppeal of the ship.]]

* AbsurdlyPowerfulStudentCouncil: Makoto and the student council make all the major decisions for Shujin Academy which earned Makoto the title of "queen". While there is a student council, it's clear Makoto holds all the power and they exist as a formality. This is all because of Makoto blackmailing the principal to let her have this much power.

* SailorEarth: The first original Phantom Thief, Russian, follows the trends set by ''Persona 5''. Their Persona, Sonya, is based on [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sonya_Golden_Hand Sonya Golden Hand]], a Russian con artist from the late 1800s.

* NiceGuy: Ann and Shiho are instantly friendly with Akira on his first day and stick by his side regardless of the rumors or his criminal record.

* ManInWhite: Shadow Makoto wears a white suit with white heels and a tiara in her Palace.

It is an AlternateUniverseFic in where, instead of Kamoshida, Makoto Niijima ruled over Shujin Academy to the point that she developed her own Palace. As the student council president, Makoto holds all the real power in Shujin as she tries to shape everything into a utopia of her design. With the arrival of Akira Kurusu, a young man convicted of a crime he didn't commit, she'll not stand for a delinquent troublemaker tarnishing Shujin's reputation. Akira, for his part, only wants to keep his head down until his probation is served, but life has other plans in store for him.

* BlackAndWhiteInsanity: Makoto's views on justice; she deems anyone determined by the Justice System to be a criminal with 100% absolution. This causes some internal conflict with over how she views Akira due to both the holes in the story of how he was arrested and how his [[PiratesWhoDontDoAnything overall school records and grades contradicts his supposed delinquent status]]. Makoto takes this to assume he's been putting on an act the entire time.

* WithGreatPowerComesGreatInsanity: [[spoiler:Since Loki is Akechi's madness given form, the stronger Loki gets, the more unsable Akechi becomes. It got to a point where he had Igor remove and imprison Loki to keep himself sane.]]

* WillfullyWeak: [[invoked]] WordOfGod explains in the last chapter that the reason Karasu is roughly equal in power to the other Phantom Heroes despite being a veteran persona user is because [[spoiler:he had been relying on Loki's power in his early career, but recently gave up Loki to preserve his own sanity, forcing him to use the weaker Robin Hood.]]

* OneWingedAngel: [[spoiler:Shadow Makoto goes berserk when the real Makoto denies her in true ''VideoGame/Persona4'' fashion.]]

* PoorCommunicationKills: Akechi neglects to inform the other heroes that Shadows have a tendency to go OneWingedAngel and that Palaces collapse once the Treasure is stolen [[spoiler:or the owner of the Palace accepts their Shadow]].

* ContinuityNod: In Chapter 21, Akechi recalls asking Igor why his laser sword works in the Metaverse, and learns that [[VideoGame/Persona4 people have successfully used paper fans and even folding chairs in combat against Shadows]]. [[spoiler:Makoto even manages to drive her Shadow berserk in the same fashion as is typical for ''Persona 4''.]]

* DoubleStandardRapeFemaleOnMale: Averted ''hard''. [[spoiler:When Makoto forces herself on Akira and blackmails him into spending her birthday with her (with intent to have sex with him implied)]], it is treated with all the horror it deserves. Later on, [[spoiler:during their confrontation in the Metaverse, Akira]] actually brings this up and asks her if her actions would be okay if she was a man and he was a woman.

** Ryuji brings Akira to the roof on his first day at school to explain that if he doesn't behave, he'll be in trouble. He emphasizes his point by punching Akira in the stomach hard enough to make him vomit.

* FallenHero: The respected student council president who freed the school from an abusive teacher has become the most feared person on campus.

* MythologyGag: Igor drinking wine, and what he drinks it out of, is something taken from another of vivvav's fanfics, "Alleycat".
