Cognitive Ann
The main adversary of the fourth Yami Matter event. She materialized when a Yami Matter shard infected Ann's mind and controls her. This is actually a separate version from the cognition of Kamoshida's Palace.
- Fan Disservice: Her appearance is not played for cute looks as the characters viewed her as a spiteful cognition. Especially giving them a nightmare face and her transformed state.
- Foil: She and her Palace-like area is similar to Futaba's mother cognition and her Palace. Both (alongside the depressions coming from Ann and Futaba) are the fourth events of their respective stories. Both having cat-like features (Futaba's cognition being a sphinx, and Cognitive Ann has a cat headband alongside her transformed state's cat tail). While Futaba's mother cognition is a wrathful monster, Cognitive Ann is a sadistic figure. Futaba first awakened her Persona to turn the tide for the Phantom Thieves, while Ann used her Persona's Ascendancy again to easily obliterate Cognitive Ann and the Palace.
- Knight of Cerebus: Following the third Yami Matter event with Myrk Hedoro, this cognition steps it up in the protagonists' grieving moments. Her personality as a different version marks a stark contrast to the one as Shadow Kamoshida's slave, as she controls Ann's body and mind in coming close to destroy her and Ren's marriage and leaving Ann depressed for a couple of weeks. Up until the fourth event, the past events are just business until the end of the Crimson crossover's stocking events, the fourth event with Cognitive Ann makes it personal for the protagonists.
- Nightmare Face: Gives one to her enemies before transforming.
- One-Winged Angel: Transformed into a monstrous form akin to Catherine's nightmarish form.
