Profile
Hunger is an Arcana in Persona 4 Golden. The Hunger Arcana comes from the Lust Arcana in Aleister Crowley's Thoth tarot deck.[a] Numbered at 11, Lust is the Thoth version of Strength. The Thoth Lust card depicts a drunk woman—the goddess Babalon from Crowley's Thelema—holding the leash of a seven-headed beast.[6] In interpretations of Crowley, Crowley himself is said to be the beast, and Babalon represents various women from his life. The woman in the card holds the beast's leash to give the illusion that she has control, and the beast obeys her, allowing itself to be tamed.[7] The Hunger arcana in Golden depicts the opposite: The woman no longer has the illusion of control, and the beast is seemingly ready to devour her.

In Atlus's developer's corner, they describe the Hunger card to mean do what you want rather than what is logical.[8] Furthermore, the change from Jester to Hunger is the result of both Adachi and the protagonist trying to satisfy their own "Hunger".[9] While they once shared a path, having both started with 0 cards, the Hunger Arcana was also created from the protagonist having the ability to separate from Adachi after learning of his true nature.[10]
