Labrys is a main character in Persona 4 Arena. She is an Anti-Shadow Suppression Weapon and member of the Shadow Operatives like her sister Aigis. She works under Mitsuru Kirijo.
Profile
Labrys is an Anti-Shadow Suppression Weapon created by the Kirijo Group two generations before Aigis. She first appears on Yakushima where she is first activated and where her Story Mode in Persona 4 Arena takes place. When she was first activated, Labrys' thoughts were simple and consisted of technical statements, but over time in her Story Mode grow in eloquence and emotion until she is forced to destroy her closest friend, Unit #024. Labrys broke free of her restraints and ran, though was eventually captured and sealed away until the events of Persona 4 Arena, 13 years later.
During Persona 4 Arena Ultimax, Labrys is shown caring individual who doesn't want to hurt anyone she cares about, but is willing to fight to protect them. She is strong and confident in her demeanor, but also has a playful and friendly side, shown when she allows Teddie's request to be her Knight or carrying Detective Kurosawa to the roof of the building they were escaping from. She is still naïve about the world.
Labrys was designed with a white and silver exterior, pale skin, light blue hair styled into a ponytail, red eyes, and a large transformable Labrys axe attached to her back that doubles as wings with the use of built-in thrusters. Her outfit consists of the Yasogami High School summer uniform.

Persona 3 Drama CD: Moonlight
The "fifth-generation Labrys" was briefly mentioned in the dialog of Persona 3 Drama CD: Moonlight. Though the character wasn't planned to be in any games at the time of the CD's release in 2007, the lead writer for Persona 4 Arena, Yuichiro Tanaka, later confirmed this character was the same as the one that later debuted in the fighting game.[1]
