Shadow Rise is a character in Persona series. It is the Shadow of Rise Kujikawa.
Profile
Shadow Rise is the Shadow of Rise Kujikawa which manifests after she is thrown into the TV World. It appears as a version of Rise in a golden bikini. After Rise rejects that the Shadow is her, it transforms into a multi-colored figure with an antenna for a face that swings from a pole. From the beginning, Rise's dungeon was meant to be a strip club, and so her Shadow was designed as a pole dancer to portray her desire to be seen.[1]
Gameplay
Game Appearances
On June 23rd, a version of Rise appears on the Midnight Channel after she is thrown into the TV World and her suppressed emotions resonate with the other side. This version of Rise tells her viewers that as of spring, she has officially become a high school girl idol, and to commemorate, she is going to strip. Even though it's not acceptable for a high school girl to strip, she wants to go all out and take it all off.
The Investigation Team finds the Shadow in Marukyu Striptease. It addresses the Investigation Team as the audience and beckons them to come further into the dungeon if they want to see her strip. Eventually, they find both the real Rise and her Shadow. Her Shadow does not wish to play the role of some cliche character, and claims that Risette does not exist. Determined to prove that she is the real Rise, Shadow Rise perverts Rise's desire to be seen for who she is into stripping, and she says she will take it all off. This causes Rise to reject her Shadow and it transforms into a stripper with an antenna. The Investigation Team are unable to defeat it, but Teddie suddenly develops an explosive power and is able to take out Shadow Rise by himself. After, Rise apologizes to her Shadow. She was trying to figure out which one of her faces was her "true self", but she now realizes that was the wrong way to go about looking. There is no "one true self"; Rise, her Shadow, and even her idol personality Risette all make up who she is. After this, Rise accepts her Shadow, and it becomes her Persona, Himiko.
However, hearing that there is no "one true self" causes Teddie to start thinking about his own existence, leading to the birth of Shadow Teddie.
