Io is a Persona in the Persona series. It is the initial Persona of Yukari Takeba.

Profile

Origin

In Greek mythology, Io was a priestess of Hera and one of the mortal lovers of Zeus. Io initially rejected Zeus's sexual advances until she was thrown out of her house by her father, on the advice of the oracles. Zeus then transformed her into a cow to hide her from Hera. Hera discovered this and asked for Io as a gift. She sent a hundred-eyed giant named Argus to watch Io and keep Zeus from visiting her. Zeus freed Io, and in revenge, Hera sendt a gadfly to terrorize Io, forcing her to wander the world restlessly.

Design

Io appears as a young girl with a similar appearance to Yukari, sitting in a throne shaped like a bull's head, which she is chained to. The astrological sign for the Taurus constellation can be seen in between the nostrils of the bull.
