Traits in Persona 5 Royal
This is a list of traits in Persona 5 Royal. The Persona trait mechanic were added as part of the game expansion and are not present in Persona 5.
Note: All Persona have a single inherent trait that is their default on being acquired. These traits cannot be modified except when a Persona is newly fused in the Velvet Room. Once a trait has been chosen, it cannot be changed without performing a new fusion. The list below includes what trait is inherent to a Persona when they are first being fused, as Personas that are registered to the Compendium with a different trait will overwrite the inherent one.
