Character Name: Naoto Shirogane AKA The Detective Prince Character Series: Persona 4 Character Age: 16
Background: This first link will give you the basic story and some brief information about… everything else. I’d just look at the story section, the rest is just a bunch of stuff that you really don’t need to read. UNLESS YOU WANT TO THEN GO AHEAD?
And this link will give you specifics on just Naoto’s part of the story – everything from her first appearance in the game up until the end of her dungeon. It also will give you all the information about her Social Link if you’re curious about it! c:
I’ll be taking her from the end-game, post true ending, but without having gone through her Social Link with the protagonist. She’s got a lot of issues to work through.
Personality: Naoto’s line of work as a detective has helped shape nearly every facet of her personality. She is incredibly mature for her age, refusing to let her status as a teenager have a negative effect on her work. Even though behaving as she does is as natural to her as walking, the extremes to which she goes to make sure she is taken seriously is almost comical. She tries very hard to prove that she is every bit as good, if not better, at her job as those she works with and to many adults (as well as her peers in school) she comes off as pompous, pretentious, and even a bit bratty. As such she doesn’t make friends very easily.
Nonetheless, she is very calm and reserved, refusing to let her emotions get the better of her. Truly upsetting Naoto is a daunting task and it takes quite a lot to get her to raise her voice. Even if one does succeed, she speaks so formally, using a plethora of words not found in everyday conversation, that it may be difficult to realize that she is upset. Truth be told, she has a visual emotional range of a teaspoon and to most people she comes off as cold, callus, and very anti-social.
The girl is incredibly serious and she works hard to maintain her reputation as well as her family’s – feeling that because of her gender, her age and her line of work she must be professional at all times if she’s ever going to be taken seriously. She is very devoted to her job and she’s a bit of a workaholic. On high profile cases, Naoto takes her duties to the extreme and she can get a bit obsessive about them. She is not above putting herself in danger to lure a suspect out of hiding.
She looks at things logically and uses deductive reasoning to her advantage. She’s good at what she does and she is able to decipher motives, behaviors, and characteristics of people she’s around by simply observing and taking careful consideration of her surroundings. She’s a naturally curious person which helps her quite a bit in her line of work, but can also land her in quite a bit of trouble. Naoto is very intelligent and it shows. Her mind is her greatest resource.
Naoto tries to keep things as formal as possible with those she meets and although she never intends to, she ends up pushing them away. Iif someone took the time to get to know her and was able to get past her cold exterior, they would come to find that Naoto is truly just a very shy person. She keeps to herself and doesn’t enjoy talking about herself, her life, or her problems to anyone.She’ll never admit to it, but she is a very lonely person -- feeling isolated and cut off from the rest of the world. General social situations make her nervous and it isn’t hard to make her uncomfortable. She doesn’t like it, but she gets flustered very easily – causing her to stammer and stutter her way out of embarrassing situations she’d rather not be in.
Now for the big one: HER GENDER.
Gender is a touchy subject with Naoto. Her feelings on her gender, and the roles society expects her to adopt because of it, are a huge underlying factor to most, if not all, of her actions. Until arriving at Mayfield, Naoto had purposely been passing herself as a male. Waking up with a closet full of poodle skirts is going to make that difficult for her to keep up, at least until she gets a pair of pants from somewhere.
Naoto strongly believes that her age and gender are holding her back from accomplishing her goals. She genuinely loves her job, she has wanted to be a detective since before she could read and she’s damn good at it, but being good wasn’t enough. She wants the respect, and, above all else, the acceptance of her peers. While her age does pose difficulties, she knows that even though it’s a hindrance now, she’ll still grow up. Her gender was another problem entirely. The most famous fictional detectives are male, practically the entire police force is male, and Naoto... she is certainly not a man.
She resents her age, her gender and her position in life. If she was older, if she was boy, she might actually get the respect she deserved and then maybe, just maybe, people wouldn’t look down on her. They wouldn’t treat her like a child or a helpless woman. But even when people started to believe she was a boy, it was clear that her peers still resented her, both in school and at work. To them, she was a boy, but that didn’t matter. She’s certain that the treatment she receives will only get worse if they were to find out that she was a girl.
Abilities: Crazy Super Human Magic Powers aka NAOTO’S PERSONA AND THE THINGS IT DOES:
Ok, the second wiki has a list of all of her abilities, but for convenience I’ll put the list and limitations here too.
Since I’m taking Naoto from the end of the game, but WITHOUT having gone through any of her Social Link, her persona will be Sukuna Hikona (which looks like: this ). It’s an itty bitty bug thing.
She’s level 85, so her HP is at 485 and her SP is at 416 (I’ll be happy to keep track of all of this in game as well! : D)
Here’s the arsenal:
Attack – Effect – Cost
Deathbound - Inflicts heavy damage upon all enemies - 20% total health Mind Charge - Raises potential damage of offensive spells the next time used - No cost Mudo Boost - Raises success rate of Mudo spells - No cost Hama Boost - Raises success rate of Hama spells - No cost Mamudoon - Destroys all enemies with power of dark (med-odds) - 34 SP Mahamaon - Destroys all enemies with power of light (med-odds) - 34 SP Vorpal Blade - Inflicts heavy physical damage 2x-4x upon all enemies - 22% total health Megidolaon - Inflicts severe Almighty damage upon all enemies - 60 SP
Unfortunately, this is going to do nothing for her since she will not HAVE a Persona to start with.
