==Profile==
Hi there! I started using MegaTenWiki in early 2026, when wrapping up my playthrough of [[Persona Q: Shadow of the Labyrinth]]. When I started noticing important info missing, I began to organize that info myself from other sources (aqiu384 my saviour, GameFAQs my beloved) and organized that info into [https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1eXZihDYMAt5RfcAB0XI-Tk3Wp46ePSzEfNlfyKVYSgE/edit?usp=sharing my very own spreadsheet].

Soon after, I realized that there were some questions not yet answered anywhere I could find. I did the logical thing: learn how to datamine. Since then, I've ripped several files from Persona Q and Q2, and organized several MORE spreadsheets.

====== My Spreadsheets ======

* Persona Q
** [https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1khxZO6Oj3YBM5MMiFDPxm5u9JpUfC8EdvHU3RFZgId0/edit?usp=sharing datsubpersonagrowth.tbl], Moves Learned and Stat Increases for Sub-Personas
** [https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1dKvvP2XKeyvRgxnKhlCvy8iUFiJgU6hSKGmTl_A5WCY/edit?usp=sharing datmainpersonagrowth.tbl], Moves Learned and Stat Increases for Main Personas
** [https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1oZYEQtboHaWv9pMjzM2EEqtNLrJ2zhfoDwfkl5c8UoA/edit?usp=sharing datpersonaformat.tbl], Base Stats, Resistances, and Inheritance Types
* [https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Tw1LHSgD_L5BrpR_oacHE6lFchqJm9Gbfq6Ua2OrNyM/edit?usp=sharing datmyth.bmd], Compendium Profiles (P4, P4G, PQ, PQ2)

====== My Game Progress ======
I play mainly persona games, although I intend to pick up Soul Hackers at some point.

* Finished P5R, started NG+
* Working on final boss/late endgame of PQ
* Made it to the 3rd dungeon of P5T
* Halfway through 2nd dungeon of P5S
* Have played a bit of P4G and P3R (and P5X)
* Own PQ2 (very excited to start but determined to finish PQ first)

If you can't tell, I bounce around a lot.

==Trivia==

* My discord is the same as my username here, Lumi Platinum (or lumiplatinum)
* I have a few more small online resources I manage. You'll probably be able to find them on my github [https://github.com/normal-platinum/platinum-mobius here], if I remember to keep it updated.
* I live with my family on the East Coast of the US, and hope to someday live with my girlfriend in Germany. She is the reason I started playing Persona in the first place!
* I was super excited for Palworld 1.0 and Deltarune Ch. 5, and they did not disappoint!
* I used the Character Infobox template for myself rather than the Person Infobox. This is a reference to the fact that you cannot confirm I exist.

'''Jack Frost''' is a [[Demon]] in the [[Megami Tensei (Franchise)|''Megami Tensei'' franchise]]. Jack Frost is also a mascot of the ''Megami Tensei'' franchise, as well as for [[Atlus]] as a whole, appearing in the majority of ''Megami Tensei'' games and having cameos in media outside of the ''Megami Tensei'' franchise.

==Profile==
===Origin===
{{sectionstub|type=Origin}}
Jack Frost is a personification of ice and all cold things, he is said to be responsible for cold weather, frostbite on the extremities of humans, and leaving distinctive fern-like patterns of frost on windows. In modern media, he is often depicted as playful and mischievous by nature. Jack Frost is said to have originated from Anglo-Saxon and Norse folktales, however his first appearance in any surviving literature is in 1734's 'Round About Our Coal Fire, or Christmas Entertainments'.

===Design===
In {{link|game|MT2}}, Jack Frost appears as a snowman with arms and legs with a red hat, pure black eyes, a white and blue scarf, red boots, and a red umbrella with white polka dots. His design is potentially based on modern depictions of Frosty the Snow Man, a character from the song of the same name. The song mentions that he wears a hat, and has eyes made of coal, and a large number of modern depictions also feature him wearing a scarf. However there is also some inaccuracies with this theory as Frosty the Snow Man's original song mentions him having a corncob pipe, button nose, and holding a broomstick, all features missing from his design, as such he may have instead just have been inspired by a regular snowman.

In {{link|game|SMT1}}, Jack Frost received a complete redesign, appearing again as a pure white, chubby snowman-like creature with arms and legs, but now appearing to wear a blue cap with long bent horns sticking out of the back half of the top, a simplistic yellow smiley face on the front, and areas that would cover where ears would normally go. He also wears a blue collar with yellow pom-poms on it, reminiscent to that of a jesters, and loosely fitting blue boots with a yellow trim on top. His face is made of simplistic pure black shapes for his eyes and mouth, 2 small white teeth on the top of his mouth, and he is without a nose. He also has 4 fingers on each hand, and a small tail that is the same color as his body.

In {{link|game|JB}}, Jack Frost's design was changed to a far more child like form, with a much larger head and mouth with a pinkish tongue inside it, and large hands and feet. He now wears yellow gloves and his boots are pure yellow instead of their normal blue with yellow accents.

For ''[[Shin Megami Tensei Devil Children Card Game]]'' he was slightly redesigned, removing the small pom-poms from his collar, and making his boots more form fitting. These changes would also remain in his {{link|game|P5X}} design, although with a slightly smaller collar in that design, and slightly less form fitting boots.

For {{link|game|SMT5}}, Jack Frost was given a slight redesign by [[Masayuki Doi]]. His proportions and facial features were adjusted, and a white outline was added to the edges of his cap and collar. The yellow collar lining of his boots was also modified slightly. According to Doi, updating Jack Frost's design without compromising his original look proved to be challenging.<ref>{{Cite Interview|quote= |translquote= |title= |publ= |publisher= |page= |url= [https://twitter.com/Atlus_West/status/1425164391423516673/ Official ATLUS West on Twitter]|archive= [https://web.archive.org/web/20230513175153/https://twitter.com/Atlus_West/status/1425164391423516673/]|published= August 10, 2021|retrieved= February 12, 2024|site= Twitter|type= }}</ref>

'''Jack-o'-Lantern''', also known as '''Pyro Jack''', is a [[Demon]] in the [[Megami Tensei (Franchise)|''Megami Tensei'' franchise]].

==Profile==
===Origin===
A jack-o'-lantern is a hollowed-out vegetable with a face carved into it and a flame placed inside to act as a lantern. In the British Isles, they were traditionally made from root vegetables such as turnips or rutabagas, but in North America, settlers and their descendants used pumpkins instead; they are now generally made from pumpkins in the British Isles as well. Jack-o'-lanterns were customarily carved during autumntide, and they eventually became associated specifically with Halloween—the night before All Saints' Day—by the late 19th century.

In folklore, jack-o'-lantern was originally synonymous with [[Will o' Wisp|will-o'-the-wisp]]. Later folklore incorporates the carved vegetable motif. One such story is an Irish folktale about a man named Stingy Jack which purports to explain the origin of this tradition. The man is usually depicted as a tricky and mischievous person even in the face of great danger. The most famous tale involves Stingy Jack coming face to face with [[Satan]] tricking him several times in order to force deals with the devil. Once he does pass away, he finds himself unable to ascend to Heaven and unable to enter Hell due to his dealings. Satan however does give him a small ember to light his way while he wanders as the world as a ghost. Jack takes the flame and places it into a turnip which had been hollowed out making it into a lantern.

===Design===
Jack-o'-Lantern's design is based around a carved-out pumpkin, or more precisely, a jack-o'-lantern. It holds a lantern in one of its hands which it normally waves when performing an attack. Its eyes usually have an orange glow, however, some depictions have small white dots as the eyes instead. It wears a light blue, crooked 'witch' hat with a white stripe above the brim. It also wears a dark blue robe which upon closer inspection, reveals it does not have a torso or arms. In {{link|game|mt2}}, however, it has a wildly different appearance. Unlike its design in most other entries, it lacks its robe, hat, and lantern. Instead, it has arms and legs as well as red sneakers. Its face has white dot eyes and a wide smile revealing a few teeth.

Jack-o'-Lantern is a soul who lived a decadent life and was refused entry into the afterlife. Taking pity on him, a demon placed a small bit of hellfire in a lantern made from a turnip to provide light for him as he wanders through the darkness. In the world of the living, he sometimes serves as a guide for travelers. Jack-o'-Lantern is good friends with Jack Frost. Some Demon Busters claim to have seen them team up as Demon Buster-busting duo Lantern Frost.
Today, Jack-o'-Lantern is known as the pumpkin ghost of Halloween. It is believed that this change from turnip to pumpkin came about when the custom of Halloween first came to the United States, because Americans found that pumpkins were brighter and easier to carve than turnips.

==Game Appearances==
==={{link|game|jb}}===
Jack-o'-Lantern, under the name '''Jack Lantern''', is one of the four playable characters in {{Link|Game|JB}}. He attacks through firing fireballs from his lantern, which are slightly stronger but at less frequency than [[Jack Frost]]'s. His special attack damages all enemies on-screen.

In the story, Jack-o'-Lantern, along with [[Jack Frost]] and [[Jack the Ripper]], went out of the [[World of Fairies]] for an outing on Halloween. However, as a result of getting sidetracked, come 11 o'clock, the other Fairy demons had already returned to their world, and should the Jack Brothers not make it back, they will lose their powers and disappear. Guided by [[Pixie]], the Jack Brothers set off on a journey to get back within the hour. After defeating [[Beelzebub]], Pixie and Jack-o'-Lantern run for the portal, wherein the latter is stopped by two Fairies asking where the Princess is as Pixie flies into the portal. Jack-o'-Lantern responds, saying he hadn't seen her, before the Princess comes out of the portal, to their surprise. Jack-o'-Lantern notices her voice is similar, to which the Princess is confused, and he is left to ponder the debacle as the credits roll.

==Trivia==
* Although Jack-o'-Lantern does not appear as an actual character in {{Link|Game|AB}}, it along with [[Jack Frost]] appears on the frame border when playing the game on a Super Game Boy.

===Origin===
{{Main|{{Sect|Inanna|Origin}}|section=1}}
Ishtar{{Note|{{Translit|akk|𒀭𒅖𒋻|ᵈiš-tar}}}} is the East Semitic name for [[Inanna]], a Mesopotamian goddess of love and war who is associated with the planet Venus. The name Ishtar is the East Semitic form of the Proto-Semitic theonym *''ʿAṯtar'', which was used by the Semitic-speaking peoples to refer to a deity associated with Venus (cf. [[Ashtar]] and [[Astarte]]). East Semitic-speaking peoples, in an instance of syncretism with the Sumerian religion, would identify their deity as the same as the Sumerian goddess Inanna around the time of Sargon of Akkad.<ref>{{Cite Journal|article=The Sumerian goddess Inanna (3400-2200 BC)|author=Paul Collins|journal=Papers from the Institute of Archaeology|volume=5|published=November 14, 1994|doi=10.5334/pia.57|page=pp. 103-118|publisher=University College London}}</ref> This syncretic understanding of Inanna-Ishtar incorporated elements from both the old Semitic deity as well as the pre-Akkadian Inanna, rather than being a mere renaming of Inanna, though it is likely that they were syncretized because they already resembled each other beforehand.<ref>{{Cite Book|book=Essays on Babylonian and Biblical Literature and Religion|chapter=Ištar|doi=10.1163/9789004435186_007|isbn=978-90-04-43518-6|author=I.

Ishtar is half of the original form of [[Astaroth]]. Upon being brought to [[Binah Town]], Astaroth will ask [[Aleph]] to allow him to return to his original form, and become Ishtar and [[Ashtar]]. After Ashtar leaves, Ishtar explains that [[YHVH|God]] forcibly fused her with Ashtar out of rage that his followers were turning towards her. As he leaves, she begins restoring life to the Sea of Binah.

Ishtar is one of the leaders of the Armies of Chaos that oppose [[Bethel]], acting as the guardian of the [[Arioch|Demon King]] and his [[Demon King's Castle|castle]] in [[Chiyoda (Shin Megami Tensei V)|Chiyoda]]. Having once been a [[Nahobino (Race)|Nahobino]], her diabolization by the [[Creator|God of Law]] through the [[Condemnation]] left her enraged and determined to reclaim her former power, to which she implemented a [[Nightmare System]] around Chiyoda which boosted her power to a level comparable to when she was a Nahobino. By disabling the Nightmare System the [[Nahobino]] is able to significantly weaken Ishtar, though they are also able to face her at full power.

==={{Link|Game|GMT}}===
{{Startspoiler}}
Ishtar in the game has reincarnated into a human named [[Yuuka Tachibana]], who is early in the game dismembered by the [[Bael Believers]]: [[Ipos]] the [[Fallen]], [[Lamashtu]] the [[Femme]], [[Athirat]] the [[Lady]], [[Astarte]] the [[Tyrant]], [[Abaddon]] the [[Koutenshi]], [[Leraje]] the [[Koutenshi]] and [[Decarabia]] the [[Koutenshi]], leaving only her head as a trophy for [[Bael]] the [[Tyrant]].

[[Ayato Katsuragi]] has some visions of [[Yuuka Tachibana|Yuuka]] as the game progresses where she told her where to go and what to do in order to revive her.

Archangel [[Gabriel]] reveals to Katsuragi in [[Shibuya]] that Yuuka is indeed the reincarnation of Ishtar, that Babylonia was once the capital of Ishtar and that many blood was shed in her name and that she followed a lustful path, but that she was defeated so [[YHVH|God]] tore her soul apart, the bad part was what became Astarte, the other half became [[Virgin Mary]] and that Yuuka is this part of Ishtar's soul, but that [[Bael]] has tainted her soul with fear and hatred.

When asking if she can be revived Gabriel says that while it is possible to revive Yuuka she may not be the Yuuka he once knew as her soul has been tainted with fear and hatred by Bael.

Gabriel also says that Yuuka as Ishtar was once Bael's wife, but when he was known as [[Baal]] and ruled over Palestine, and that many sacrifices were done for Ishtar and bathed in the blood of the ever-reviving Baal to become immortal.

After this and other questions Katsuragi can make, Gabriel leaves and protects Shibuya.

At [[Bael Castle (Giten Megami Tensei: Tokyo Revelation)|Bael Castle]] Rui will reveal that her true form is that of Astarte the Tyrant and will make Katsuragi choose between her and Yuuka.

Depending on the choice Katsuragi makes here either Astarte or Ishtar the [[Megami]] will join depending on how he replies to Rui's question regarding who he loves, if Yuuka or her. Affinity with this characters also affect.

*Route 1: Katsuragi chooses Yuuka and depending on the affinity with Rui different events can happen, in one of them Katsuragi fights her and on the other she rips out her heart from her body and gives it to Katsuragi and so Yuuka transforms into Ishtar the Megami, then at the top floor of Bael Castle they find Murmur the Fallen who after a fight is defeated, and then upon entering the main room they find Baal the Tyrant who after asking Ishtar to be his wife to which she refuses he starts a fight. Upon being defeated, Baal asks Katsuragi to pierce him with his own sword or if he'll be the new King of Tokyo, saying no to either question Baal transforms into a frog and can either die or escape depending on the choices. After that Katsuragi and Ishtar stand upon the ruined city and Katsuragi says that his love between him and Ishtar will be eternal.

*Route 2: Depending on if Katsuragi chose Yuuka or gets betrayed by her and had a Law alignment he instead will be greeted by angels calling him the new [[Messiah (Concept)|Messiah]].

*Route 3:If Katsuragi's aligment was Light-Law after doing any route he will grow angelic wings on his back and also be called the new Messiah depending on if he did Route 2.

*Route 4:If Katsuragi chooses Rui, this enrages Ishtar and attacks Katsuragi who after is defeated dies. Upon reaching the top floor of Bael Castle they fight Murmur the Fallen who after a fight is defeated, and then upon entering the main room they find Baal the Tyrant who after asking Astarte where is Ishtar, she responds that she is dead, and now enraged, Baal starts a fight. Upon being defeated, Baal asks Katsuragi to pierce him with his own sword or if he'll be the new King of Tokyo, saying no to either question Baal tansforms into a frog and can either die or escape depending on the choices. After this, Katsuragi alongside Astarte stand on a pile of demons, now calling themselves the new rulers of Tokyo.

*Route 5: If Katsuragi chooses Rui and gets any route related to her and route he on the sky will see Ishtar flying to the moon with a sad face, the beautiful Goddess will await for his next time to reincarnate.

*Route 6: If Katsuragi says yes to the questions Baal makes or dies during the fight with him, he will then see everything is now darkness, he sees visions of demons he fought mocking him and then if he decides to struggle he will see a lot of demons praising him as their new King and after that he loses consciousness, and if he chose Rui he will also get Route 5.

*Route 7: If Katsuragi chooses Yuuka and has middle affinity with Rui Asuka then she will fuse with Yuuka regardless of who Katsuragi chooses Rui will fuse with Yuuka. Upon reaching Bael Castle's top floor they fight Murmur the Fallen and after defeating they enter the main room and they find Baal the Tyrant. But Ishtar despite having come along obediently to Katsuragi her face changed to one some resembling that of Rui and says how dare he betray her and depending on what Katsuragi says then a fight between Ishtar will begin and after she's defeated Baal will be enraged about losing his wife and so a fight with him begins. After his defeat if Katsuragi had a Chaos alignment he will be seen at the top of countless demons and he will now pronounce himself as the new ruler of Tokyo.

*Route 8: If obtained the requirements for Route 7 but had any other alignment that isn't Chaos Katsuragi will be directed to Route 1.

'''Loki''' is a [[Demon]] in the [[Megami Tensei (Franchise)|''Megami Tensei'' franchise]].

==Profile==
===Origin===
[[File:Gosforth Cross Loki and Sigyn.jpg|thumb|left|150px|Drawn reproduction of a portion of a monument (c. 10th century) in Gosforth, Cumberland,{{Note|While Gosforth is in England rather than Scandinavia, in the 9th and 10th centuries settlers from Scandinavia migrated to areas of northern England, including Gosforth.}} which possibly depicts Sigyn (''middle'') soothing a bound Loki (''bottom'')]]
Loki is the trickster god of Norse culture, known throughout many Norse tales and stories for his trickery and bringing with him troubles he caused, most notably for causing the death of [[Baldr]] and bring about Ragnarök. He is the son of Fárbauti (a jötunn) and Laufey, and through a blood pact made between him and [[Odin]], Loki is also the blood brother of Odin. He is also famously known for having affair with many women, one account is with the jötunn [[Angrboða]], who then gave birth to what is known as the three children of Loki: [[Hel]] (or Hela), the wolf [[Fenrir]], and the world serpent [[Jormungandr|Jörmungandr]]. For their role in [[Ragnarok]], each of these children were sealed away.

When Baldr's mother Frigg forced all of existence to swear not harm her son, Loki learnt that mistletoe had somehow escape this pledge and fashioned a weapon, either dart, arrow or spear, and gave it to Baldr's blind brother Höðr. As the other Æsir struck at Baldr with a variety of objects and weapons, amused by his invulnerability, only for Höðr to send the mistletoe weapon at Baldr who was killed instantly. None of the gods knew Loki was responsible for the act, and Höðr was killed for the crime. In order to resurrect Baldr Odin's son Hermod travels to Niflheim to implore Hel to return Baldr to life, who agrees on the term that all of existence cry for him. While the gods are successful in achieving this, the female Jötunn Thökk, who according to the Prose Edda was Loki in disguise, refused to cry and thus Baldr remained dead.

Loki went unpunished for his crime until the events described in the poem ''Lokasenna''. At a feast Loki's poor behaviour and murder of a servant has him thrown out, only to attempt to return and for him to invoke Odin's oath of brotherhood when Bragi forbids him to allow him back in. When he is allowed to sit and is treated once more as a guest he then proceeds in a {{wp|flyting}}, in which he insults the assembled Æsir, first insulting Bragi by calling him a coward after he offers various valuable items to Loki as a show of peace between them then Bragi's wife [[Idun]] for marrying her brothers killer when she speaks to defend her husband. Despite Odin's warnings Loki continues, insulting [[Freyja]] by claiming that all present at the feast have been her lovers, [[Tyr]] for betraying the trust Fenrir placed in him, and proclaiming that both [[Skadi]] and more scandalously [[Sif]], wife of Thor, have been his lovers, among others. During this flyting Loki admits to him being responsible for Baldr's death, and once the furious Thor arrives at the feast Loki flees, transforming into a salmon to evade capture. Loki is caught regardless and as punishment his son Váli was transformed into a wolf, while his other son Narfi was torn apart by his brother with his entrails used to bind Loki to a rock with a serpent dripping venom on his face, where he would be left until Ragnarok. Loki's wife Sigyn would remain by his side holding a bowl to catch the serpents venom, however whenever some spilled over or she had to empty the overflowing bowl Loki would writhe in such powerful agony it would cause earthquakes.

===Design===
Loki's design in the [[Digital Devil Story: Megami Tensei (Novel)|''Digital Devil Story: Megami Tensei'']] novels was created by [[Hiroyuki Kitazume]], with input from author [[Aya Nishitani]]. Nishitani instructed Kitazume to reference Michelangelo’s sculptures, primarily {{Wp|David (Michelangelo)|David}},<ref>{{Cite Web|quote=Loki was designed by Kitazume. However, it was I who told him that Loki's model should be Michelangelo's David.|author=@ayanakajima3|url=[https://x.com/ayanakajima3/status/1650661805759528960 Tweet reply by Aya Nishitani]|archive=|published=Apr 24, 2023|retrieved=June 3, 2025|site=x.com|type=}}</ref> and even rented a Renaissance art book for him to use.<ref>{{Cite Web|quote=When I first met Mr.Kitazume 39 years ago, I rent him a Renaissance art book and asked him to model Loki on Michelangelo's David. That art book returned three years later, along with the illustrations for the final volume of the DDS. The art book also had Michelangelo's Pieta.|author=@ayanakajima3|url=[https://x.com/ayanakajima3/status/1795002713186750902 Tweet reply by Aya Nishitani]|archive=|published=May 27, 2024|retrieved=June 3, 2025|site=x.com|type=}}</ref> Kitazume felt that this approach alone would not give Loki the appearance of a devil, so he modified the concept to include more demonic features while retaining the beauty of the original figure. Nishitani agreed with this decision.<ref>{{Cite Web|quote=I think Mr. Kitazume thought that would not look like the devil, so he decided on this style, while keeping the beauty of the figure. I agreed with that.|author=@ayanakajima3|url=[https://x.com/ayanakajima3/status/1791681534031769792 Tweet reply by Aya Nishitani]|archive=|published=May 18, 2024|retrieved=June 3, 2025|site=x.com|type=}}</ref>

Loki's {{Link|Game|DeSum}} design by [[Kazuma Kaneko]] harks back to Kitazume's Loki design. His lack of clothes, along with that of other Norse gods in the franchise, is intended to make him seem in tune with the laws of nature.<ref>{{Cite Book|quote=このデザインは、どっちかっていうと北爪さんっぽいロキです。ちょっと鱗っぽい。北欧系の神様が素っ裸っていうのは、一応自分の中でのルールなんです。その辺の感覚ってすごく自然の摂理にかなってると思うんですけどね。(金子)|author=Daisuke Narisawa and CB's Project|book=[[Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Summoner World Guidance]]|page=p. 101|lang=Japanese|publisher=SoftBank|publyear=1996|isbn=978-4-7973-0084-0}}</ref>

Loki is a rude and dismissive patron at [[Nyx]]'s Lounge in [[Ginza (Shin Megami Tensei III: Nocturne)|Ginza]]. If the [[Demi-fiend]] tries to enter his room, which is connected to the lounge, he will get angry and tell him off for it.

When the Demi-fiend has to find a Bill for the [[Collector Manikin]], he goes to Loki, who hints that he may have a Bill in his room but asks for 20,000,000 in return, which the Demi-fiend cannot pay.{{Note|As the player can only hold a maximum of 9,999,999 [[Macca]], it is impossible to be able to pay Loki's fee for the Bill.}} To obtain the Bill, the Demi-fiend enters Ginza from an alternate entrance that leads to Loki's room and finds it filled with treasure, including the Bill. When he exits the room, he is confronted by the [[Troll]] who was supposed to guard it. Loki later comments that his room was robbed.

===={{Link|Game|SMT3NM}}====
Loki has additional dialogue in the ''Maniax'' releases of ''Nocturne''. If the [[Demi-fiend]] has progressed to the end of the [[Fourth Kalpa]], he can visit Loki for a hint about where the Star Key is. Loki will say he sold it to a [[Manikin]] in exchange for liquor due to his room being raided.

'''{{PAGENAME}}''' is a [[Demon]] in the [[Megami Tensei (Franchise)|''Megami Tensei'' franchise]].

==Profile==
===Origin===
A Tzitzimitl in Aztec religion is a deity of a star, oft depicted as female demons or skeletons. They caused solar eclipses, during which they would possess men, and required a live sacrifice in order to stop.

They are also the deities of fertility, worshipped by women so they would give birth to healthy children.

===Design===
Tzitzimitl appears as a woman cloaked in a red dress whose sleeves extend to cover her full arms and hands. The dress parts at her torso, revealing a starry night sky on the inside. She has yellow skin on her face and her eyes are covered by a visor of sorts, and she has thirteen pale blue arms coming out of her scalp where her hair would otherwise be. These arms have two horizontal purple lines across the wrists, and the topmost hands each hold a different colored orb. In counterclockwise, these orbs are colored: light blue, dark blue, red, orange, blue, green, violet, and orange.

From {{Link|Game|P4}} onward, two of these hands are also depicted as holding pink orbs.

===Design===
[[Shigenori Soejima]] designed Izanagi to look manly: He has a boys' school uniform and carries his weapon, the [[Ame-no-nuboko]].<ref>{{Cite Book|quote=In his hand, he holds the legendary Ameno-nuboko polearm.|chapter=Persona / Shadow|book=[[Persona 4 Visual Data]]|author=Atlus|publisher=Atlus (2008)|lang=English|volume=|edition=|page=p. 55}}</ref> He gives off the vibes of an ''[[Wikipedia:Ōendan|Ōendan]]'' or ''[[Wikipedia:Banchō (position)|Banchō]]'' leader. The decision to make Izanagi manly comes from how not much is known or spoken about him in Japanese culture aside from him being known as the very first man.<ref>{{Cite Book|quote=|chapter=Characters|book=[[Persona 4 The Golden Premium Fun Book]]|author=Persona Magazine Editorial Department|publisher=ASCII Media Works (2012)|lang=Japanese|volume=|edition=|page=p. 38|transl=|isbn=978-4048868150}}</ref> Soejima designed the Ame-no-nuboko as a large knife rather than a spear because young Japanese men thought that carrying a knife would make them feel manly and he wanted the protagonist's youth to reflect in the design. He also wanted to add some of Izanagi's manly design elements to the protagonist as well, but felt that would make the character's design a bit too cliche.<ref>{{Cite Book|quote=|chapter=Characters: Protagonist|book=[[Persona 4 Official Design Works]]|author=Atlus, Famitsu Editorial Department|publisher=Famitsu (2008)|lang=Japanese|volume=|edition=|page=p. 21|transl=|isbn=978-4757745087}}</ref> Izanagi's shoes are based on tengu geta which has a single raised tooth on the bottom.<ref>{{Cite Book|quote=|chapter=Characters: Protagonist|book=[[Persona 4 Official Design Works]]|author=Atlus, Famitsu Editorial Department|publisher=Famitsu (2008)|lang=Japanese|volume=|edition=|page=p. 32|transl=|isbn=978-4757745087}}</ref> If one were to open Izanagi's zipper, a Shadow would pop out since the zipped bodysuit represents controlling your suppressed ego.<ref>[[Persona Stalker Club]] - Episode 1 Q&A Segment</ref>

==Profile==
===Origin===
In Hinduism, Sati was [[Shiva]]'s first wife who married Shiva against her father Daksha's will. She killed herself via self-immolation out of protest against her father not inviting her or Shiva to a sacrifice, and she reincarnated as [[Parvati]], Shiva's second wife. A ritual practice known as [[wikipedia:Sati (practice)|sati]], in which a widow is burned alive on her deceased husband’s funeral pyre, was named after the goddess.

Taotie{{Note|{{Translit|zh|饕餮|饕餮|Tāotiè}}}} is one of the Four Perils
{{Note|{{Translit|zh|四凶|Sì Xiōng}}}} in Chinese mythology, mentioned prominently in the Classic of Mountains and Seas,{{Note|{{Translit|zh|山海经|山海經|Shānhǎijīng}}}}<ref>Zhongquan, Miao, ed. 2018. 山海经 [Shānhǎijīng]. Simplified Chinese ed. Shenyang: 万卷出版公司 [Wanjuan Publishing Company].</ref> Zuo Zhuan's{{Note|{{Translit|zh|左传|左傳|Zuǒ Zhuàn}}}} commentary of the Spring and Autumn Annals,{{Note|{{Translit|zh|春秋|Chūnqiū}}}} and the Book of Gods and Strange Things.{{Note|{{Translit|zh|神异经|神異經|Shényìjīng}}}} It is said to be a gluttonous beast, eating everything in its path and hoarding stolen jewels. Being of the Four Perils, it stands in opposition to the [[Four Symbols]]. Its gluttony is represented in its Han characters prominently featuring 食 ''shí'', meaning food, or to feed. During the Shang dynasty, imagery of what academics describe as Taotie was often used on sacrificial vessels 鼎 ''dǐng'' and ritual wine containers 觥 ''gōng''. However, whether this was the name used by the Shang people is unknown, as it is only recorded in Zhou dynasty texts onwards. As a word, 饕餮 ''Tāotiè'' itself is considered a word for greed, with usage dating back to the Pre-Han period and possibly before the creature was considered.

In ''Records of the Grand Historian'',{{Note|{{Translit|zh|史记|史記|Shǐjì}}}} Taotie is a moniker given to a son of the Jinyun clan,{{Note|{{Translit|zh|缙云氏|縉雲氏|Jìnyún shì}}}} one of four failed sons of emperors. This son was seen as the worst of the four, known for living extravagantly, accepting bribes, indulging himself in food and wine, and blindly seeking wealth. The clan was expelled, eventually becoming the San Miao{{Note|{{Translit|zh|三苗|三苗|Sān miáo}}}} clan led by [[Chi You]].{{Note|{{Translit|zh|蚩尤|蚩尤|Chī Yóu}}}}<ref>Qian, Sima. 五帝本纪 in 史记. https://ctext.org/shiji/wu-di-ben-ji/ens?searchu=%E7%BC%99%E4%BA%91%E6%B0%8F%E6%9C%89%E4%B8%8D%E6%89%8D%E5%AD%90&searchmode=showall#n4498 ''In ancient days the Emperor Hong (Huangdi) had a son devoid of ability, who shut himself off from duty, and was a villain in secret, delighting in the practice of the worst vices, and all men called him Hundun (Chaos). (The Emperor) Shaohao had a descendant devoid of ability, who overthrew good faith, hated loyalty, extolled specious and evil talk, and all the people called him Qiongji (Monster). Zhuanxu had a son devoid of ability, who would receive no instruction and acknowledge no good words, and all the people called him Taowu (Block). These three men everyone was distressed about until the time of Yao, but Yao could not send them away. Jinyun had a son devoid of ability, who was greedy in eating and drinking, and pursued wealth blindly. All the people called him Taotie (Glutton), hated and compared him to the three other wicked men. Shun received visitors at the four gates, but banished these four wicked ones to the four borders of the empire to manage hobgoblins; and those at the four gates rightly said there were no wicked men among them.''</ref>

Being one of the Four Perils, Taotie is paired with [[Hundun]], [[Qiongqi]], and [[Taowu]].

===Origin===
{{wp|Isis}}{{Note|{{Translit|egy|𓊨𓏏𓁐|ꜣst}}; {{Translit|grc|Ἶσις|Îsis}}}} was the Egyptian goddess of magic and wisdom, also worshiped by the Greeks and Romans. She temporarily resurrects her brother-husband [[Osiris]]'s body from the dead after he was murdered by [[Seth]] by collecting his remains from across Egypt and assembling his destroyed body. This ingrained Isis as a protector of the deceased in Egyptian mythology.

Using the saliva of [[Ra]], Isis created a snake to bite Ra and poison him in a plot to usurp him. Despite being the supreme god of Egypt, the fact that Ra did not create the snake makes him unable to cure the poison, forcing him to relinquish his true name to Isis to get her to cure him, granting her power over him. She uses this influence to grant the right to rule the gods to either Osiris or Horus depending on variations of the myth.

===Origin===
Yomotsu-Shikome ({{Lang|ja|黄泉醜女}}
{{Note|From {{Lang|ja|黄泉}} (''Yomo'', apophonic combining form of {{Lang|ja|黄泉}} (''Yomi'', Shinto land of the dead)) + {{Lang|ja|つ}} (''tsu'', archaic genitive particle) + {{Lang|ja|醜}} (''shiko'', "ugly") + {{Lang|ja|女}} (''me'', "woman").}}, {{Lang|ja|予母都志許売}} in the ''Kojiki''), translated by [[wikipedia:Basil Hall Chamberlain|Basil Hall Chamberlain]] as "Ugly-Female-of-Hades", are female demons from the land of [[Yomi]] which appear in the ''Kamitsumaki'' of the ''Kojiki''. The section of the ''Kamitsumaki'' in question chronicles [[Izanagi]] finding [[Izanami]] in Yomi and fleeing upon seeing her decayed form. Mortified, Izanami sends Yomotsu-Shikome to chase after him. To throw off the Yomotsu-Shikome, Izanagi casts his black hair vines{{Note|{{Translit|ja|黒御鬘|kuromikazura}}, originally from {{Lang|ja|黒}} (''kuro'', "black") + {{Lang|ja|御}} (''mi'', honorific particle) + {{Lang|ja|髪}} (''kami'', "hair") + {{Lang|ja|蔓}} (''tsura'', "vines")}} down, which sprout grapes. This slows the Yomotsu-Shikome down momentarily as they eat the grapes. When they continue chasing Izanagi, he casts his comb down, which turns into bamboo sprouts. Finally, the Yomotsu-Shikome stop in order to eat the bamboo sprouts.

When the Yomotsu-Shikome are stopped, Izanami sends the [[Ikazuchi|Yakusa-no-Ikazuchi]] and 1,500 [[Yomotsu-Ikusa]] to chase him.<ref>{{Cite Book|transl=Donald D. Philippi|chapter=Book I|book=Kojiki|publyear=1969|publisher=Princeton University Press, University of Tokyo Press|doi=10.1515/9781400878000-fm|page=pp. 62-64}}</ref>

===Design===
According to [[Aya Nishitani]], Yomotsu-Shikome is described as being frog-like in his novel because he encountered a frog when visiting a tomb said to be the tomb of Yamatohime; this tomb visit inspired his book's depiction of the tomb of Izanami.<ref>{{Cite Web|quote=In my novel, the tomb of Izanami is in Asuka. However, I wrote the inside of the tomb is based on my experience of entering a tomb, which is said to be the tomb of Yamatohime, located near Ise. At that time, I encountered a frog, so Nakajima encountered a frog-like woman.|url=[https://x.com/ayanakajima3/status/1833694527967928797 Aya Nishitani 西谷史 on X]|site=X|published=September 11, 2024|retrieved=September 11, 2024}}</ref>

Obariyon is featured in the [[Case Files in Devil Summoner: Raidou Kuzunoha vs. King Abaddon|Case File]] "[[Fear of Betobeto]]," where [[Raidou]] looks into the existence of an entity, supposedly Betobeto, that seems to be following the Case File client in [[Kasumidai]]. While looking around Kasumudai, Raidou is ambushed by a swarm of Obariyons, who are revealed to be who the client thought was Betobeto. Giddy, due to how fast they have become from following around other people, the Obariyons attack Raidou to demonstrate their speed. After defeating all the Obariyons, the sole Obariyon remaining admits that being beaten by Raidou saved them, as they were afraid they could not stop speeding up once they started. Their defeat completes the Case File.

==Nomenclature==
Obariyon's name is believed to come from Okinawan {{lang|ryu|おばりよん}} (''{{lang|ryu-Latn|obariyon}}'', "give me a piggyback ride").

==Profile==
===Origin===
According to Helmold of Bosau, a 12th century Catholic priest, the Polabian Slavs believed in a god named Chernobog (literally "black god") associated with misfortune. The reliability of Helmold's testimony is debatable.

===Design===
Chernobog's {{Link|Game|SMT2}} and {{Link|Game|DeSum}} design was difficult to come up with due to no description other than the name's meaning of "black god". The design ultimately was based on the imagery of the Grim Reaper wielding a scythe,<ref name="devil summoner no subete">{{Cite Book|quote=この辺は神話や伝説でもイメージ的な記述が少ないんで苦労しました。調べてみても、“黒い神”としか書いてないんですよね。それで、情報の中から断片的なイメージを拾って、ちょっと黄金バット入ってるかもしれないけど、黒い「死神」と死神の「鎌」のイメージをメインに持ってきました。でも、「チェルノボグ」って「チェルノブイリ」に似てますよね。別に深い意味はないですけど。(金子)|author=Daisuke Narisawa and CB's Project|book=[[Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Summoner World Guidance]]|page=p. 60|lang=Japanese|publisher=SoftBank|publyear=1996|isbn=978-4-7973-0084-0}}</ref> with some influence from the character Golden Bat.<ref name="devil summoner no subete"/><ref name="soul hackers no subete">{{Cite Book|quote=前のデザインは黄金バットのブラック版みたいな感じだったんですよね。今回はスラブ神話の奴は東洋っぽくしたいなって思ったので、ガラリとイメージを変えてみました。頭の笠みたいなのが東洋っぽいでしょ(笑)。キノコっぽくもなってます。チェルノボクはニガヨモギとかのことをいうみたいなんで、チェルノブイリとか符合してて、ヤバイのでは、なんて言われてましたけどね。そういう意味を含めつつ、キノコな感じにしました。|book=[[Devil Summoner: Soul Hackers no Subete]]|publyear=1998|page=p. 287|lang=Japanese|author=CB's Project|publisher=Aspect|isbn=978-4-7572-0011-1}}</ref>

Chernobog's {{Link|Game|SH1}} design is intended to have an "oriental" feel. He has a mushroom cap on his head because Chernobog sounds like Chernobyl, and the mushroom cap is also intended to look like an oriental hat.<ref name="soul hackers no subete"/> His face resembles a skull, and his sword's crossguard and pommel have a stained glass pattern.

==Profile==
===Origin===
[[File:Baphomet by Éliphas Lévi.jpg|thumb|left|120px|Éliphas Lévi's "Sabbatic Goat" or "Baphomet of Mendes", the frontispiece of ''Dogme et Rituel de la Haute Magie'' vol. II (1856)]]
In the early 14th century, the Knights Templar were accused by the French crown of denial of Christ, spitting on the cross, homosexual acts, and worship of idols;<ref>{{Cite Book|author=Malcolm Barber|doi=10.1017/CBO9780511617904|book=The Trial of the Templars|edition=2nd|publyear=2006|isbn=978-0-521-85639-3|page=p. 202|publisher=Cambridge University Press}}</ref> one such alleged idol was "Baphomet," which is a corrupted form of the name of Muhammad, the Islamic prophet.<ref>{{Sfn|Satuljak|2012|p=74}}</ref> This ended in the {{wp|Trials of the Knights Templar}} in 1307, which would become the catalyst for their dissolution in 1312.

Some scholars in the 19th centuries, due to ideological reasons, rejected Baphomet's association with Muhammad and came up with alternative hypotheses, such as claiming that Baphomet was a Gnostic symbol or entirely fabricated by the French crown. For example, Joseph von Hammer-Purgstall derived Baphomet's name from Greek and said it meant "baptism of the spirit".<ref>{{Sfn|Satuljak|2012|pp=75-77}}</ref> It was in this context of Baphomet's popularity<ref>{{Sfn|Strube|2016|p=49}}</ref> when, in 1854-56, Baphomet was reinterpreted by occultist {{wp|Éliphas Lévi}} as a goat-headed entity representing the union of opposites, and thus ideal social order.<ref>{{Sfn|Strube|2016|pp=39-40}}</ref>

The symbolism involved in Lévi's Baphomet is manifold. The goat's head represents the scapegoat who bore the Israelites' sin in the desert.<ref name="levi devil tarot">{{Sfn|Lévi|1896|page=pp. 288-291}}</ref> The upright pentagram on its forehead is used to signify the Baphomet as a symbol of light<ref name="levi devil tarot"/> and also represents intelligence.<ref name="levi figure explanation">{{Sfn|Lévi|1896|page=p. xxii}}</ref> It has two human arms, one male and one female; one points upward to Chesed and the other downward to Geburah, representing harmony of mercy with justice<ref name="levi devil tarot"/> and good with evil.<ref name="levi figure explanation"/> The torch between its horns represents universal equilibrium: while the soul is exalted above matter, it is connected with matter regardless, just as the flame touches the torch;<ref name="levi devil tarot"/> the flame also represents divine revelation.<ref name="levi figure explanation"/> The caduceus represents eternal life, while the scale-covered belly represents water, the circle in front of the belly represents the atmosphere, and the feathers between the belly and breasts represent volatility.<ref name="levi devil tarot"/> Its breasts and arms are its only human aspects, representing maternity and toil.<ref name="levi figure explanation"/>

Lévi associated the Baphomet with the [[Devil (Arcana)|Devil]] card in tarot, and it is thought that his design was inspired by the ''Tarot de Marseille'' Devil card in particular;<ref>{{Sfn|Strube|2016|p=41}}</ref> however, Lévi wrote that the Baphomet was not to be confused for a symbol of [[Satan]], and said that the Baphomet was an "innocent and even pious hieroglyph". Lévi rejected the existence of Satan in the literal sense, seeing the Devil as symbolic of personal weakness and error, and he believed the idea of Satan as a literal personal entity was a superstition imported from Manichaean dualism.<ref name="levi devil tarot"/>

[[Aleister Crowley]] adopted the magical name "Baphomet" when he became the Outer Head of the Order of A. A., an organisation dedicated to his religion, Thelema. Over time, building on Lévi's work, Crowley developed the idea of Baphomet into being an emblem of his idea of [[Satan]] within the ''Book of Thoth'', identified with the Devil arcanum and Greek deity Pan.<ref>Crowley, A. (1981). The Book of Thoth. York Beach, Maine:Samuel Weiser.</ref> To Crowley, Baphomet therefore represents maximal creativity. In ''Magick'', it is stated that Baphomet is representative of the "Babe in the Egg," and therefore representative of the original being and thus true magick, which would go on to influence Satanism.<ref>Crowley, A. 2018. Magick in ''The Writings of Aleister Crowley - The Book of Lies, Magick, The Book of the Law, and Cocaine''. Anubis Books. ISBN: 978-1724405548.</ref> Baphomet is given its own entry in the ''Book of Lies'', entry 33,{{note|Qabbalistic number is listed as Kappa-Epsilon-Phi-Alpha-Lambda-Eta Lambda-Gamma}} which reads as follows:
<blockquote>
"A black two-headed Eagle is GOD; even a Black Triangle is He. In His claws He beareth a sword; yea, a sharp sword is held therein.

This Eagle is burnt up in the Great Fire; yet not a feather is scorched. This Eagle is swallowed up in the Great Sea; yet not a feather is wetted. So flieth He in the air, and lighteth upon the earth at His pleasure.

So spake IACOBUS BURGUNDUS MOLENSIS the Grand Master of the Temple; and of the GOD that is Ass-headed did he dare not speak."
</blockquote>
Being a book of innumerable allusions, the entry makes several references; 33 is the number of the Last Degree of Masonry, conferred upon Crowley{{Note|Self-referred as Frater Perdurabo within the text}} by Don Jesus de Medina-Sidonia in the City of Mexico in 1900. He refers to Baphomet as the "mysterious God of the Templars" within his own commentary.{{Note|Commentary, of which is Public Domain: 33 is the number of the Last Degree of Masonry, which was conferred upon Frater P. in the year 1900 of the vulgar era by Don Jesus de Medina-Sidonia in the City of Mexico. Baphomet is the mysterious name of the God of the Templars. The Eagle described in paragraph 1 is that of the Templars. This Masonic symbol is, however, identified by Frater P. with a bird, which is master of the four elements, and therefore of the name Tetragrammaton. Jacobus Burgundus Molensis suffered martyrdom in the City of Paris in the year 1314 of the vulgar era. The secrets of his order were, however, not lost, and are still being communicated to the worthy by his successors, as is intimated by the last paragraph, which implies knowledge of a secret worship, of which the Grand Master did not speak. The Eagle may be identified, though not too closely, with the Hawk previously spoken of. It is perhaps the Sun, the exoteric object of worship of all sensible cults; it is not to be confused with other objects of the mystic aviary, such as the swan, phoenix, pelican, dove and so on. (17) His initials I.B.M. are the initials of the Three Pillars of the Temple, and add to 52, 13x4, BN, the Son}} Iacobus Burgundus Molensis was martyred during the sack of the Knights Templar in 1314, and was martyred, but Crowley states that his Baphometic religion was still being disseminated to the worthy. His initials add to 52 in Qabbalah, 13×4, BN, the Son.<ref>Crowley, A. 2018. The Book of Lies in ''The Writings of Aleister Crowley - The Book of Lies, Magick, The Book of the Law, and Cocaine''. Anubis Books. ISBN: 978-1724405548.</ref> It is through Crowley's work that Baphomet went from a fringe occultic icon into something much more influential.

[[File:TheSatanicBibleLeatherbound2005.jpg|200px|thumb|Leatherbound edition of The Satanic Bible, featuring the Sigil of Baphomet imprinted into the cover]]
Today, Baphomet is largely known for its depiction in the Sigil of Baphomet, which has become a symbol of Satanism, founded and named by {{wp|Anton LaVey}} in 1966, inspired by the texts and libertine philosophy of Aleister Crowley. The Sigil was notably used on the album ''The Satanic Mass'', which propelled it to noteriety.<ref>LaVey, Anton (Gilmore, Magus Peter H. contribs). 2005. ''The Satanic Bible''. Avon Books. pp.9-20.</ref> However, the Sigil of Baphomet dates back much further, to as soon as 1897 in the book ''La Clef de la Magie Noire'' by Stanislas de Guaita. The Sigil itself usually features Hebrew letters spelling [[Leviathan]] (לויתן) within a downward-pointing pentagram. The original sigil featured the names [[Samael]] and [[Lilith]], but these were quickly dropped.<ref>de Guaita, Stanislas. 1897. ''La Clef de la Magie Noire'', pp.387</ref>

===Design===
Baphomet's design in {{Link|Game|SMT2}} appears to be based off of Baphomet's appearance from the film ''Nightbreed''.

Baphomet's design in {{Link|Game|SMT3}} is based directly on Éliphas Lévi's Sabbatic Goat, with the symbolism interpreted as physical objects.<ref>{{Cite Book|quote=今回はバフォメットらしくというのがテーマです。例のサバトの絵にでてくるような。カドゥケスとか五芒星とか、象徴体系を物体にするとこんな感じですよね。|translquote=The theme this time around is to make it look like Baphomet.

Additionally, the circle and scaly belly are interpreted as a single object.

==Profile==
===Origin===
Narcissus{{Note|{{Translit|grc|Νάρκισσος|Nárkissos}}}} is a youth in Greek mythology whose story is often used as a metaphor for vanity and self-obsession, most recognized for his appearance in the Roman poet Ovid's ''Metamorphoses''.

In Ovid's version, Narcissus was the son of the river god Cephissus and the [[nymph (Demon)|nymph]] Liriope, known for his physical attractiveness. From an early age, it was prophesied that he would live a long life, so long as he never viewed his own reflection. As he got older, Narcissus gained admiration from men and women alike, though his self-absorption made him indifferent to all of them. One such admirer was the nymph Echo, who could not express her feelings due to being under the curse of [[Juno]] (Hera). As retribution, [[Nemesis]] cursed Narcissus to catch his reflection in a spring of clear water, which enamored him instantly, not realizing that it was his own image. He tried endlessly to kiss and embrace his reflection to no avail, and when he finally died by the spring, a white flower bloomed in his place.

A version by the Greek author Conon written around the same time as Ovid's has a man named Ameinias instead of Echo, and Narcissus instead commits suicide rather than drowning.<ref>{{Cite Book|book=Narrations|author=Conon (via Photius)|passage=24|lang=Greek}}</ref> There also exists a fragment of a Greek text with a short version of the Narcissus story which seems to pre-date both Ovid and Conon.<ref>{{Cite Journal|article=''P. Oxy.'' 4711 and the Poetry of Parthenius|published=2007|author=Hans Bernsdorff|journal=The Journal of Hellenic Studies|publisher=The Society for the Promotion of Hellenic Studies|page=pp. 1-18}}</ref> Pausanias mentions an alternative version where Narcissus fell in love with his twin sister rather than himself, and after she died he saw his sister in his reflection.<ref>{{Cite Book|book=Description of Greece|passage=9.31.8|author=Pausanias|lang=Greek}}</ref>

===Design===
Narcissus is a slender man clothed in a red sash, possessing flowing blond hair, as well as white narcissus flowers blossoming atop his head and around his feet.

Place of origin: Greece Originally a very beautiful young man, Narcissus was cursed to not be able to fall in love with anyone but his own reflection in pools of water, as punishment for spurning the nymph Echo. He was unable to leave the water's edge where his own form was reflected, and became weak and died, but he transformed into the flower bearing his namesake. Narcissus is also a god who presides over the growth of plants in spring. It is said that this story originated from the ancient Greek custom of offering human sacrifices to nature during the "Flower Festival" held in spring, which became linked to Narcissus, the flower-god.

'''{{PAGENAME}}''' is a [[Demon]] in the [[Megami Tensei (Franchise)|''Megami Tensei'' franchise]].

==Profile==
===Origin===
Ophanim (singular: ''ophan'') are the wheels (''[[wikipedia:ophanim|ophanim]]'' in Hebrew) of God's chariot in the Book of Ezekiel, which are interpreted as a class of angel in later writings. [[Throne]]s are often identified with the ophanim.

===Design===
In {{Link|Game|SMT2}}, Ophanim's design is based on the descriptions of the four living creatures ([[cherub]]im) in Chapter 1 and Chapter 10 of the Book of Ezekiel, rather than the description of the ophanim themselves in the same book. The Ophanim of ''Megami Tensei'' is depicted as a non-humanoid robot with four bird's wings and four heads: the head of a man with the text "T-OFA" on it at the front, the head of a lion on its left, the head of an ox on its right, and the head of an eagle on its top. According to [[Kazuma Kaneko]], this design's similarities to Ezekiel's living creatures was due to the staff needing to increase the number of demons in the game. This led to the concept being split into two distinct entities.<ref>{{Cite Web|quote='''darkIan59094532:''' Dear Kazuma Kaneko, I have a question that has puzzled me for a long time. Why does the Ophanim fit the description of the Cherub so well, but appear simultaneously with the Cherub in SMT game and are two independent angels? Was it on purpose?|author=darkIan59094532|url=[https://x.com/darkIan59094532/status/2061636348994527291]|archive=|published=June 1, 2026|retrieved=June 2, 2026|site=Twitter|type=}}{{Cite Web|quote='''Kazuma Kaneko:''' ゲームとしてモンスターキャラクターの数を増やす必要があったので、別の存在として分けました|author=[[Kazuma Kaneko]]|url=[https://x.com/kazumaKaneko666/status/2061642686818652295]|archive=|published=June 1, 2026|retrieved=June 2, 2026|site=Twitter|type=}}</ref>

In {{Link|Game|DCBR}} and {{Link|Game|DCW}}, Ophanim is a knightly figure with a helmet, halo, large arms, and red angel wings. It carries a three-pronged spear in its right hand, and its lower body is comprised of three red wheels. In {{Link|Game|DCLD}} and {{Link|Game|DCFI}}, it has an orange golem-like upper body with a halo, angel wings, and flaming eyes, while its lower body resembles a rocking horse with four hooves.

==Trivia==
*In {{link|game|smt5}}, Saki Mitama that are encountered in [[Minato (Shin Megami Tensei V)|Minato]] are all given a Light-Neutral alignment, despite the Saki Mitama in every other location having a Neutral-Neutral alignment. This was likely a developer oversight, since in {{link|game|smt5v}} all Saki Mitama, including ones in Minato, are given a Neutral-Neutral alignment.

One of the four souls within the one-spirit-four-souls that make up the spirit-soul of all things. Written as "{{lang|ja|荒魂}}".

Ara Mitama, the soul that contrasts with Nigi Mitama, is generally thought to appear as a wild and ferocious force in times of war or disaster.

There are various theories regarding its function: one theory is that it has the power to negate things, while there are theories that it has the functions of "bravery/growth/result".

Additionally, one divine spirit can be split into Ara Mitama and Nigi Mitama. One example is Suminoe-no-Kami.}}

'''{{PAGENAME}}''' is a contributor on the [[Main Page|Megami Tensei Wiki]].

==Profile==
Hi there! I started using MegaTenWiki in early 2026, when wrapping up my playthrough of [[Persona Q: Shadow of the Labyrinth]]. When I started noticing important info missing, I began to organize that info myself from other sources (aqiu384 my saviour, GameFAQs my beloved) and organized that info into [https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1eXZihDYMAt5RfcAB0XI-Tk3Wp46ePSzEfNlfyKVYSgE/edit?usp=sharing my very own spreadsheet].

Soon after, I realized that there were some questions not yet answered anywhere I could find. I did the logical thing: learn how to datamine. Since then, I've ripped several files from Persona Q and Q2, and organized several MORE spreadsheets.

====== My Spreadsheets ======

* Persona Q
** [https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1khxZO6Oj3YBM5MMiFDPxm5u9JpUfC8EdvHU3RFZgId0/edit?usp=sharing datsubpersonagrowth.tbl], Moves Learned and Stat Increases for Sub-Personas
** [https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1dKvvP2XKeyvRgxnKhlCvy8iUFiJgU6hSKGmTl_A5WCY/edit?usp=sharing datmainpersonagrowth.tbl], Moves Learned and Stat Increases for Main Personas
** [https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1oZYEQtboHaWv9pMjzM2EEqtNLrJ2zhfoDwfkl5c8UoA/edit?usp=sharing datpersonaformat.tbl], Base Stats, Resistances, and Inheritance Types
* [https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Tw1LHSgD_L5BrpR_oacHE6lFchqJm9Gbfq6Ua2OrNyM/edit?usp=sharing datmyth.bmd], Compendium Profiles (P4, P4G, PQ, PQ2)

====== My Game Progress ======
I play mainly persona games, although I intend to pick up Soul Hackers at some point.

* Finished P5R, started NG+
* Working on final boss/late endgame of PQ
* Made it to the 3rd dungeon of P5T
* Halfway through 2nd dungeon of P5S
* Have played a bit of P4G and P3R (and P5X)
* Own PQ2 (very excited to start but determined to finish PQ first)

If you can't tell, I bounce around a lot.

==Trivia==

* My discord is the same as my username here, Lumi Platinum (or lumiplatinum)
* I have a few more small online resources I manage. You'll probably be able to find them on my github [https://github.com/normal-platinum/platinum-mobius here], if I remember to keep it updated.
* I live with my family on the East Coast of the US, and hope to someday live with my girlfriend in Germany. She is the reason I started playing Persona in the first place!
* I am super excited for Palworld 1.0 and Deltarune Ch. 5 this summer.
* I used the Character Infobox template for myself rather than the Person Infobox. This is a reference to the fact that you cannot confirm I exist.

==Profile==
Hi there! I started using MegaTenWiki in early 2026, when wrapping up my playthrough of [[Persona Q: Shadow of the Labyrinth]]. When I started noticing important info missing, I began to organize that info myself from other sources (aqiu384 my saviour, GameFAQs my beloved) and organized that info into [https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1eXZihDYMAt5RfcAB0XI-Tk3Wp46ePSzEfNlfyKVYSgE/edit?usp=sharing my very own spreadsheet].

Soon after, I realized that there were some questions not yet answered anywhere I could find. I did the logical thing: learn how to datamine. Since then, I've ripped several files from Persona Q and Q2, and organized several MORE spreadsheets.

====== My Spreadsheets ======

* Persona Q
** [https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1khxZO6Oj3YBM5MMiFDPxm5u9JpUfC8EdvHU3RFZgId0/edit?usp=sharing datsubpersonagrowth.tbl], Moves Learned and Stat Increases for Sub-Personas

====== My Game Progress ======
I play mainly persona games, although I intend to pick up Soul Hackers at some point.

* Finished P5R, started NG+
* Working on final boss/late endgame of PQ
* Made it to the 3rd dungeon of P5T
* Halfway through 2nd dungeon of P5S
* Have played a bit of P4G and P3R (and P5X)
* Own PQ2 (very excited to start but determined to finish PQ first)

If you can't tell, I bounce around a lot.

==Trivia==

* My discord is the same as my username here, Lumi Platinum (or lumiplatinum)
* I have a few more small online resources I manage. You'll probably be able to find them on my github [https://github.com/normal-platinum/platinum-mobius here], if I remember to keep it updated.

: Out of curiosity, what were you hoping to achieve by posting this on my talk page lol [[User:Cabbage|Cabbage]] ([[User talk:Cabbage|talk]]) 03:02, 19 February 2024 (UTC)

==Book Help==
Hey Cabbage, I noticed you made and/or worked on a large percentage of the book pages we have on the wiki and I wanted to know if you'd be able to help me with something. I've started on a list of (non-novel/manga/TTRPG) MegaTen books here [[User:Capes/Sandbox3]] for wiki abbreviations, is there any chance that you might know of any books that I might've missed (or if I added a book to this list in Japanese that has an English localization)? If you aren't able to, or don't know of any books that I've missed it's all good. Either way, thanks for reading and have a nice day.

:Ah, if I added a book, it's a book that I personally own and could get the table of contents for, or it's a P4-related book that had a page with my husband on it.

:Glancing thru your list, here are some random missing books: P3 Guide (978-4757728837), P3 Complete Guide (978-4757729322), P3 Fes Fan Book (978-4757737198), P3P Guide (978-4047261655), P5 Complete Guide (978-4048924160), and DoubleJump's English P3 Guide. On the Japanese side, a lot of their games used to have 2 guidebooks (1 incomplete released alongside the game, 1 released 1mo later). Dunno if that applies to SMT too. Dunno if you wanna give [[Persona Magazine]] its own abbreviation too, but the page exists.

:Lastly, these technically have ISBNs but I'm not sure I would count them as notable books... When Tactica and Reload were released, they created Velvet Room pouches that came wrapped in boxes, and attached to the boxes were booklets. The booklets were not very long and covered pretty basic info ("these are the characters, this is the plot, this is other merchandise coming out"). Regardless, Reload's is 978-4299048431, and Tactica's is 978-4299048394.

==Synopsis==
{{SeePlot}}

''Persona 4 Arena'' takes place two months after the ending of ''Persona 4'', but before the epilogue of {{Link|Game|P4G}}, during Golden Week 2012. It follows the protagonist, [[Yu Narukami]], returning to [[Inaba]] to regroup with [[Ryotaro Dojima|Dojima]], [[Nanako Dojima|Nanako]], and [[Investigation Team|his friends]] for the holidays, only to discover that the [[Midnight Channel]] has returned and is promoting a fighting tournament between Yu and his friends! This prompts the reformation of the Investigation Team who jump into the [[TV World]] to find out what answers lie inside. There, they meet a [[Labrys|mysterious girl]] and an [[Shadow Operatives|older group of Persona users]] and are forced to enter the same tournament that was advertised on the Midnight Channel with [[Teddie]] and [[Rise Kujikawa|Rise]] as hosts...

''Persona 4 Arena''{{'}}s story mode starts with the player being able to select Yu, Yosuke, Chie, or Yukiko. After progressing through, the player can also unlock Mitsuru, Aigis, Akihiko, Kanji, Teddie, and Naoto. Each character's story mode tells the series of events from their perspective, with some events changing between each path. The story mode of ''Arena'' is included with the remastered version of {{Link|Game|P4AU}} and can be accessed under the "P4A" tab.

==Gameplay==

===Basic Attacks===
''Persona 4 Arena'' is a 4-button fighting game that runs at 60 Frames Per Second. The buttons are labeled A for weak/light attack, B for strong attack, C for Persona attack, and D for Persona Rush. A round lasts until a character's HP drops to 0 or time runs out, and whoever wins two rounds first wins the match. A combination of two or more of the attack buttons can result in additional actions, such as a grab (CD), a dodge (AC), an All-Out-Attack (AB), or a Furious Action (BD). Pressing Light Attack (A) multiple times in a row activates a P-Combo, an automatic combo ending with a powerful special or super move. However, they can be interrupted at any time by either not pressing A or inputting a different move.

Grabs are unblockable but can be teched if the opponent also inputs a grab while a (!) appears above the character's sprite. Dodges and intangibles to attacks but can be grabbed. Furious Attacks are powerful moves that consume 5% HP in the form of Blue Health that regenerates over time unless the character is hit. In this case, Blue Health adds to the damage taken. All-Out-Attacks are slow, powerful moves with super armor, meaning they go through normal and special attacks but not grabs or supers. Pressing A or B rapidly can hit up to 15 times, and at any point the character can press C to launch the enemy airborne, leaving them open for an air combo, and pressing D will launch the oppenent far away and can wallbounce in the corner if all 15 hits land. If the 15 hits connect, then the opponent enters a fatal counter state, where they suffer more hitstun, allowing for easier combos.

===Movement===
Movement is controlled with a joystick or a D-pad, uses 8 directions, and is relative to the direction the character is facing. Blocking is performed by holding backwards while an opponent is attacking. Crouching is done by holding down, and it is possible to block while crouching by holding down and backwards. Characters jump by pressing up, up-backwards, or up-forwards and can double jump. Blocking will still inflict a very small amount of chip damage. Pressing backwards within 8 frames of an attack connecting will perform an Instant Block, removing 2 frames of hitstun. Characters can tech after being hit, when tapping a button right as the character lands; this will cause them to perform an 33 frames long invincible recovery animation. Additionally, they can delay the recovery after touching the ground, though they must wait 30 frames. If the character does not recover, after a short time they will stand up on their own, though they are vulnerable during that time. Moreover, characters can recover in the air after the blue bar under the combo counter empties by holding down a button. The air recovery lasts 15 frame during which they are invincible, and they can hold a direction to recover backwards or forwards.

It is also possible to run forward or backstep by pressing either forward or backwards twice rapidly, as well as air-dash forward or backwards. Characters can only air-dash once and cannot double jump and air-dash in one jump; they must choose one air movement option. It is also possible to block attacks and grab while in the air, as well as turn around by pressing AC while in mid-air. Pressing AC while crouching makes the character do a short hop. Pressing down quickly before pressing up performs a super jump—a higher than a normal jump—and it is possible to air dash, though double jumps are unavailable. If a character keeps backstepping or walking backwards, then they will be afflicted with a negative penalty and take 50% more damage until they perform multiple offensive actions such as running forward or hitting the opponent.

===SP Gauge===
Special and super moves can be performed by doing motion inputs, though ''Persona 4 Arena'' only uses quarter-circles and charge inputs. Supers are performed by doing two quarter-circles either forward or backwards, and use 50 SP. The SP Gauge starts at 0 and goes up to 100, and it is filled by being hit or damaging opponents. Remaining SP does not carry over to the next round. P-Combos grant 13 additional SP when the last hit before a super connects. Certain specials and supers can be enhanced through a Skill Boost which is triggered by pressing two attack buttons at the same time (AB or CD). For an additional 25 SP, Skill Boosts grant special properties like more damage, more range, or making the move come out faster.

===Persona Gauge===
Below a character's HP is the Persona Gauge, represented by several tarot cards. Hitting a character's Persona while it is active will decrease the gauge by one. If the gauge is empty, a Persona Break occurs, preventing the character in Persona Break from using any attack that involved their Persona, including certain specials and supers. The Persona Gauge will then refill over a short period, and when it is full, the Persona is once again available. The Persona gauge resets to full at the beginning of every round. The length of the gauge is character dependent, but they all take the same time to recharge.

===Awakening===
If a character's HP goes under 35% and they are in a neutral state (i.e. not being hit or doing a move), then they enter an Awakening state, giving them several passive buffs:

* Damage reduction of 62.5%. If an attack did 1000 damage before, now it will only do 625 damage.
* Max SP Gauge increases from 100 to 150.
* Free 50 SP added to the gauge
* New supers can be performed

Awakening ends when the round ends and does not carry over to the next round. However, if a character heals after being Awakened, the buffs will still persist.

===Burst===
Burst are a type of invincible attack activated by pressing ACD, and requires a full Burst Gauge, symbolized by a big "BURST" underneath a character's HP bar. Once used, the Burst bar will take 90 seconds to recharge, though hitting opponents with an auto-combo and taking damage refills the gauge slightly. When the gauge is recharging, it is represented by a capital "B" slowly filling.

When a Burst is used in a neutral state and damages the opponent, it will activate a Max Burst, filling the character's SP Gauge to the max, knocking down the opponent and the Burst gauge now starts refilling at 25%. Max Burst cannot hit opponents in hitstun, and opponents damaged by it are fully invincible to all attacks until the opponent recovers.

A Defensive Burst can be used when being hit in a combo, interrupting the opponent and pushing them far away, though they don't take damage. Using a Defensing Burst completely empties out the Burst gauge. There are certain situations where a Defensive Burst can't be used despite a full gauge, such as being thrown, when a character's Persona is disabled due to Persona Break or Mute, or when being hit by certain attacks like supers and instant kills. In these moments, the Burst gauge will be crossed out.

==Development==
In a 2012 interview with 4gamer, [[Kazuhisa Wada]] spoke about the development of ''Arena'' ahead of the arcade release of the game.<ref name=":0">{{Cite Web|quote=|translquote=|author=|url=[https://www.4gamer.net/games/139/G013961/20120310002/ P4Uはペルソナ4の正統な後継作です――「ペルソナ4 ジ・アルティメットインマヨナカアリーナ」について，ディレクターの和田和久氏にインタビュー]|archive=[https://web.archive.org/web/20120313001849/https://www.4gamer.net/games/139/G013961/20120310002/ Archive.org]|published=March 10, 2012|retrieved=April 18, 2024|site=4gamer|type=Interview}}</ref> The idea to create ''Persona'' games outside of the usual role-playing game genre came from Wada wanting to expand ''Persona'' to bring in new fans. He, [[Katsura Hashino|Hashino]], and [[Shigenori Soejima|Soejima]] are all fighting game fans who would often play matches during lunch break at the Atlus office. But as fans and consumers, no one at Atlus had expertise in creating a fighting game. Atlus felt the ''BlazBlue'' team at [[Arc System Works]] (Arcsys), headed by Toshimichi Mori, was best suited to bring the concept of a ''Persona'' fighting game to life as ''BlazBlue'' had been well-received by more than just fighting game players.<ref name=":0" /> The idea of a ''Persona'' fighting game by Arcsys came directly from Hashino, as he felt the team "love 2D fighting games, and have a lot of fun making them".<ref name=":1">IGN "[https://www.ign.com/articles/2011/09/01/persona-mania-developer-reveals-new-details Persona Mania: Developer Reveals New Details]" 02/09/2011</ref> ''Persona 4 Arena'' was directed by ''BlazBlue''<nowiki/>'s lead programmer, Takumi Iguchiya.<ref name=":2">andriasang "Persona Team Intimately Involved in Persona 4 Fighting Game Development" 31/08/2011. [https://web.archive.org/web/20111222090250/http://andriasang.com/comxu9/persona_fighting_game_update/ Archived] on the Internet Archive.</ref>

Atlus contacted Arcsys first about making a ''Persona'' fighting game, a move which greatly surprised them.<ref name=":1" /><ref name=":2" /> Additionally, multiple developers at the company were fans of the series, so their motivation for the project was "very high". Atlus didn't want Arcsys to do all the work and insisted on making the game a collaborative effort.<ref name=":2" /> While Arcsys handled the fighting game elements, Atlus took care of the other tasks like sound, setting details, character designs, and story. The game was designed from the start as a sequel to ''Persona 4''.<ref name=":1" />

For the playable characters, the developers wanted to implement characters that fans wanted to see, especially regarding the ''Persona 3'' cast, as ''Arena'' did not feature all of [[S.E.E.S.]] though it did have the full Investigation Team.<ref name=":0" /> Fans requested more characters such as the rest of the primary ''Persona 3'' characters (especially Shinjiro Aragaki), Tohru Adachi, Margaret, and Elizabeth. When they held on-site play tests, women, as well as people who did not usually play fighting games, showed up to try out the game. Some of them were so inexperienced they thought the "insert coin" screen footage was them playing. In trying to appeal to both fighting game fans and role-playing game fans, the ''Arena'' team created a tutorial for the arcade version and encouraged arcades to have single machines for new players to practice on before competing with others.<ref name=":0" />

===Localization===
In a 2013 {{Link|Game|P4G}} interview with Famitsu, localization head [[Yu Namba]] also spoke briefly about some localization changes for ''Arena''. The original Japanese title, ''Persona 4 The Ultimate in Mayonaka Arena'', was simplified to ''Persona 4 Arena'' instead of ''Persona 4 Ultimate'' as ''Ultimate'' might cause customers to think it is an "ultimate" version of ''Persona 4'' while ''Arena'' better communicates that it is a fighting game.<ref>{{Cite Web|quote=|translquote=|author=|url=[https://www.famitsu.com/news/201302/02028096.html 『ペルソナ4 ザ・ゴールデン』が北米でも大人気の理由・前編【翻訳担当者インタビュー】]|archive=|published=|retrieved=November 30, 2024|site=Famitsu|type=}}</ref> Additionally, he recalled that many fighting games allowed the player to select between dual audio options, and the localization team hoped to have the same thing for ''Arena'', which included adding English audio to the Japanese release. This proved challenging due to the length of the lines that play before and after matches and the battle lines during matches. Some of the English localizations were too long, and he wound up rewriting and modifying these lines on the spot while recording with the voice actors. The length of the story mode included with the home console release also shocked him as he did not expect it to have nearly as much dialogue as ''Persona 4''.<ref>{{Cite Web|quote=|translquote=|author=|url=[https://www.famitsu.com/news/201302/09028245.html 『ペルソナ4 ザ・ゴールデン』が北米でも大人気の理由・後編【翻訳担当者インタビュー】]|archive=|published=|retrieved=November 30, 2024|site=Famitsu|type=}}</ref>

'''{{PAGENAME}}''' is a Persona in the {{link|series|P-}}. It is the initial Persona of [[Labrys]].

==Profile==
===Origin===
According to Greek tradition, Ariadne was a daughter of King Minos who helped Theseus navigate the Labyrinth of Crete using thread.

In the context of {{Link|game|P4A}}, Ariadne and Labrys are linked through their connection with the Labyrinth, the former through myth and the latter by name.

===Design===
Since Ariadne does not have a well-defined visual depiction in Greek folklore, the Persona was designed to match [[Labrys]]. Her weapon features a thread motif inspired by the ball of thread given to Theseus.<ref>{{Cite Magazine|quote= リアドネは、ミノタウロスの迷宮で迷わないように正しい道に導いてくれたという伝説があるので、武器も糸をモチーフにしています。アリアドネ自体は神話上でもとくにビジュアル的なイメージはないので、ラビリスに合わせてデザインしました。(副島)|translquote= |publ=[[Persona Magazine]] |publisher=ASCII Media Works |lang=Japanese |issue=10 |page=p. 55 |article=Persona Artworks: Persona Character File Labrys |author=Shigenori Soejima |published= |coverdate=August 7, 2012 |transl= }}</ref>

===Origin===
{{Main|section=y|{{Sect|Kaguya-Hime|Origin}}}}

===Design===
Kaguya wears armor that resembles a {{Wp|Jūnihitoe|12 layered kimono}}, a type of formal wear from the Heian period. Her having rabbit ears is likely due to Kaguya-Hime being from the moon and the old belief about [[Wikipedia:Moon Rabbit|rabbits being on the moon]].<ref>{{Cite Book|quote= |translquote= |des= |chapter= Characters: Marie|book={{Link|Book|P4Gpf}}|author= |publisher= |lang= |volume= |edition= |page= p. 113|transl= |isbn= }}</ref>

===Origin===
{{Main|{{Sect|Izanagi|Origin}}|section=y}}

===Design===
[[Shigenori Soejima]] designed Izanagi to look manly: He has a boys' school uniform and carries his weapon, the [[Ame-no-nuboko]].<ref>{{Cite Book|quote=In his hand, he holds the legendary Ameno-nuboko polearm.|chapter=Persona / Shadow|book=[[Persona 4 Visual Data]]|author=Atlus|publisher=Atlus (2008)|lang=English|volume=|edition=|page=p. 55}}</ref> He gives off the vibes of an ''[[Wikipedia:Ōendan|Ōendan]]'' or ''[[Wikipedia:Banchō (position)|Banchō]]'' leader. The decision to make Izanagi manly comes from how not much is known or spoken about him in Japanese culture aside from him being known as the very first man.<ref>{{Cite Book|quote=|chapter=Characters|book=[[Persona 4 The Golden Premium Fun Book]]|author=Persona Magazine Editorial Department|publisher=ASCII Media Works (2012)|lang=Japanese|volume=|edition=|page=p. 38|transl=|isbn=978-4048868150}}</ref> Soejima designed the Ame-no-nuboko as a large knife rather than a spear because young Japanese men thought that carrying a knife would make them feel manly and he wanted the protagonist's youth to reflect in the design. He also wanted to add some of Izanagi's manly design elements to the protagonist as well, but felt that would make the character's design a bit too cliche.<ref>{{Cite Book|quote=|chapter=Characters: Protagonist|book=[[Persona 4 Official Design Works]]|author=Atlus, Famitsu Editorial Department|publisher=Famitsu (2008)|lang=Japanese|volume=|edition=|page=p. 21|transl=|isbn=978-4757745087}}</ref> Izanagi's shoes are based on tengu geta which has a single raised tooth on the bottom.<ref>{{Cite Book|quote=|chapter=Characters: Protagonist|book=[[Persona 4 Official Design Works]]|author=Atlus, Famitsu Editorial Department|publisher=Famitsu (2008)|lang=Japanese|volume=|edition=|page=p. 32|transl=|isbn=978-4757745087}}</ref> If one were to open Izanagi's zipper, a Shadow would pop out since the zipped bodysuit represents controlling your suppressed ego.<ref>[[Persona Stalker Club]] - Episode 1 Q&A Segment</ref>

'''{{PAGENAME}}''' is a [[Persona (Concept)|Persona]] in the {{Link|Series|P-}}.

==Profile==
===Origin===
"Messiah"{{Note|{{Translit|hbo|מָשִׁיחַ|Māšîaḥ}}; {{Translit|ar|مَسِيحٌ|Masīḥ}}}} is a term used in the three major Abrahamic religions, derived from a Hebrew word meaning "anointed one"; its Greek equivalent is "Christ".{{Note|{{Translit|grc|Χριστός|Christós}}}} The concept of the Messiah originates in Judaism.

Since the Second Temple period, Jewish thought has posited that the Messiah is a king from the Davidic line who will come and bring deliverance to the Jewish people. The criteria are best spelled out in Ezekiel 37:24-48, and must all be fulfilled at once. They are as follows:
# They must be Jewish.<ref>Deuteronomy 17:15</ref>
# They must be a member of the tribe of Judah.<ref>Genesis 49:10</ref>
# They must descend from the lineage of King David and King Solomon.<ref>2 Samuel 7:12-13</ref>
# They must gather the Jewish people and return them to Eretz Israel.<ref>Isaiah 11:12</ref>
# They must rebuild the temple in Jerusalem.<ref>Ezekiel 37:26 - 27</ref>
# They will rule during a time of world peace.<ref>Micah 4:3</ref>
# They will rule during a time where the 10 Verses (or "Commandments") are observed.<ref>Ezekiel 37:24</ref>
# They will rule during a time where everyone acknowledges and serves [[YHVH]].<ref>Isaiah 66:23</ref>

Thus far, in Judaism, no one has met all of these criteria at once; therefore, Jews are still waiting for the Messiah's arrival.

In both Christianity<ref>Matthew 1:16</ref> and Islam,<ref>Qur'an 3:45</ref> the Messiah is identified as Jesus of Nazareth. The Christian and Islamic interpretations of the Messiah's role differ from both that of Judaism and from that of each other. Christianity sees the Messiah (or Christ) as the Son of God who is the savior of all peoples and will come again as the judge of the living and the dead. Islam views the Messiah as an important messenger of God who will come again to unite Muslims and defeat the false Messiah (al-Masīḥ ad-Dajjāl).

Comparative religion sometimes uses "Messiah" or "messianic figure" generically to mean someone prophesied to bring salvation. Examples of these more general messianic figures are [[Maitreya]] in Buddhism, the Saoshyant in Zoroastrianism, and the Mahdi in Islam. In the context of ''Persona 3'', in-game profiles seem to indicate that the Messiah Persona represents the general archetype, and {{Link|Book|PCP3}} says that Messiah does not represent a specific mythological figure but is a common Hebrew word whose meaning comes from Judaism.<ref>{{Cite Book|book={{Link|Book|PCP3}}|publyear=2006|author=Kazuo Ezaki et al.|publisher=Enterbrain|isbn=978-4-7577-3095-3|lang=Japanese|page=p. 184}}</ref> However, {{Link|Book|P3FF}} speaks specifically of the Christian concept of the Messiah as both a savior and the eschatological judge of mankind.<ref>{{Cite Book|book=[[Persona 3 FES Official Fanbook: My Episode]]|publyear=2007|publisher=Enterbrain||isbn=978-4-7577-3719-8|lang=Japanese|page=p. 243}}</ref>

*During development of {{Link|Game|P3}}, Messiah was originally planned to be impossible to create unless every [[Social Link]] other than Judgement was maxed.<ref>{{Cite Book|quote=ゲーム企画の初期段階では、審判以外の全コミュをMAXにしないと、このメサイアが作れなかったと言いますから驚きでございますな。いや、簡単になってよろしゅうございました。|book={{Link|Book|PCP3}}|publyear=2006|author=Kazuo Ezaki et al.|publisher=Enterbrain|isbn=978-4-7577-3095-3|lang=Japanese|page=p. 184}}</ref>
