1--> My name is Alice Walker. I know, I know, I'm not from Japan.

3'''''The Second-Hand Fool''''' is a TrollFic written by [=Kawaiiwolf3=], the author of ''FanFic/SwimmingInTerror'', set in the ''VideoGame/Persona4'' universe. Just like [=SiT=], ''Fool'' is about an OC joining the main character's main team and being so much better than them.
4
5''Fool'' follows a girl named Alice Walker, an American school girl who is so smart, [[ForeignExchangeStudent she got accepted into a transfer program]], bringing her to Inaba. She arrives with Yuu Narukami, and the same events start happening. Alice gains the Universe Arcana[[note]]Yes, ''that'' [[VideoGame/{{Persona3}} Universe Arcana.]][[/note]] to fight against the killer. It's a classic story, but it's interesting to note that Katie actually drew all of the art for each chapter, though the other character art is all from dollmakers.
6
7The most interesting part of it is that, while Alice is obviously a Sue, there's a secondary character that's a legit OC for Katie, named Haruka Fujiwara. While the fic has just started, Haruka is shaping up to be the only one who won't be taking Alice's shit.
8
9There are six semi-long chapters[[note]]Well, long compared to [=SiT=].[[/note]] out so far. Chapter one is [[http://kawaiiwolf3.deviantart.com/art/The-Second-Hand-Fool-A-Persona-4-Fanfic-Cht-1-518723411 here]].
