This article is about the manifested entities. For other things named Persona, see Persona.
Personas are manifested entities in the Persona series. A Persona is the manifestation of a person's personality in response to outside stimuli,[1] which can take the shape of gods, demons, or historical or folk figures. Those who have awakened to their Personas and are able to summon them are referred to as Persona Users.[2] Personas are often compared to masks that emerge to protect the user from hardships;[1] the term "persona" is a word of Latin origin meaning a mask or a projected social front.
Personas act as the series equivalent to Demons in other Megami Tensei games, which can be summoned into battles by their Persona User and fused. Personas are associated with the Arcana, which group Personas and Shadows by the Major Arcana tarot.
