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.

Gameplay

Persona 4 Arena Ultimax

In Persona 4 Arena Ultimax, Labrys is a heavy offensive character that operates based on momentum. Unique to Labrys, she gains more damage based on her axe tiers that increase the more she attacks with her axe, blocked or not. When it reaches red, all axe attacks have added hitstun, cause Fatal Counters whenever a normal Counter hit would be made, and do the maximum amount of damage with which even her auto combo can reach extremely high damage.
