#Rewatched Nicob when I noticed it

[axlorg89]

Does anyone think it’s quite literally adorable how Sora looks at the charm Kairi made consistently?

He does this a lot in Chain of Memories especially since his connection to Kairi is prominently the strongest at the moment. What I like the most though, is how it’s pretty much implied off-screen that Sora looks at Kairi’s charm more than shown in KH2. It’s a silly reason but follow me on this.

The only one I have to go along is when Sora takes Kairi’s charm out after finding out she’s gone missing. After acknowledging it, he puts it back into his Right pocket. The next time we see the charm is when the game ends and as you see…

Sora takes the charm out of his Left pocket. It’s not much but it does confirm that Sora’s been looking over the charm continually every now and then like in Chain of Memories. Otherwise, they would come out of the same pocket wouldn’t it? The fact that Sora still looks at it and also keeps Kairi in his thoughts at times makes my heart warm.

On a side note, those clothes do a damn good job protecting that charm from all the battles Sora has been involved in.

Persona 3 Persona-User Relationship Headcannons

Author's Note: So, I have been going through Persona 3 playthroughs recently and I have noticed that while in Persona 3 a lot goes down, I do see that in Tartarus, S.E.E.S. is actually well-taken care of, even in the anime and manga. Which sounds crazy, but it reminded me of how I made a Persona-User Relationship Headcannon for Persona 5 not too long ago. So, I decided to try this out for S.E.E.S. And leave it up for debate for people to see and hey! If this gets enough notes, maybe I will do this for the P4 cast, which will be very difficult for me, since there are so many transformations of Personas in that game my gosh and also that require rewatching a P4 playthrough. Probaby NicoB's since I like him so much.

Also, there is huge spoilers for Persona 3! And, I mean huge spoilers for the game! Like, if you don't like spoilers and read this, your experience will be ruined! So, I will put a read more for those who do not want spoilers! 

So, here I go!

Minato/Makoto and Orpehus 

- Orpehus and Minato actually get along very nicely, as most protagonists of the Persona series do.

- Orpehus is more quiet and reserved, but he is powerful. He prefers to fight with physical attacks to save on magic, believe it or not.

- Orpehus often is the Persona that looks after the group in Tartarus runs, but he pays the most attention to his Contractor. 

- Orpehus often will give Minato advice about Minato's personal life, but this are often once-in-a-while suggestions Minato takes heed of. 

- Orpehus, other than that, doesn't really get too involved in Minato's personal life. 

- Orpehus does actually understand Minato's Wildcard ability is powerful and can be used to help his friends, and he often encourages Minato to use it wisely.

- Orpehus teaches Minato how sing, now, Minato doesn't sing often but when he does, it's very good. Also, he teaches Minato how to play the lyre. And, if Minato can get his hands on one, he can play just as good as he sings.

Minato/Makoto and Thanatos

- (Literally you can figure out his relationship with Thanatos with Ryoji since Ryoji is Thanatos. And so is Pharos, too. It's not too hard to figure out from there.)

- Thanatos isn't a Persona used often, but shows a much darker side of Minato.

- Thanatos is more of the dominant Persona that gets violent if angered. So, everyone tends to let him do what he wants and not interfere. But Thanatos is actually a decent Persona once you talk to him. You just gotta deal with his anger issues.

- Thanatos actually looks after the team, and doesn't like it when the team pushes themselves. If someone is pushing themselves, Thanatos will often guard them and sometimes say something. Often, Akihiko and Mitsuru are the ones who deal with his lectures.

- But, he also does show he cares for Minato, as he will make comments about Minato's life. Mostly, Thanatos is Minato's anger embodied. But, he can be nice and make comments that are helpful to others.

- Well, until he becomes Ryoji, and well, play the game to figure what happens with their relationship.

Minato/Makoto and Messiah

- Minato's relationship with Orpehus carries over to Messiah, for the most part. Thanatos is in there, but he's more or less subdued.

- But Messiah and Minato often talk while Minato is the Great Seal. Because there isn't mush else to do.

- But Messiah often encourages Minato to look after his friends, and even S.E.E.S. is disbanded, Minato still looks after his team.

- Messiah also doesn't like to fight. He prefers to heal. But he knows that sometimes fights are unavoidable.

- Messiah is quite a fighter. But out of all the Personas, he's the one who wants peaceful resolutions.

- If that gave you the impression Messiah is basically a hippie, you're only half wrong. 

- Messiah also gives trivia of many different religions,  which can be odd at times.

-  Messiah also encourages and often is like an older brother figure (for lack of a better term) to the other Personas, and will always help them out if he wishes.

Aigis/Aegis and Palladion

- Aigis and Palladion get along quite well, despite what the situation looks like.

- Aigis is kinda attached to Palladion, and the two often chat with one another. And their talks can be very interesting to listen to.

- Palladion also likes Aigis too. Palladion often will look after Aigis and give her help when she feels Aigis is in trouble.

- Palladion is a warrior, and as such she will teach Aigis Greek battle tactics. Even though Aigis doesn't think it is applcable to her situation, sometimes you will see Aigis use Greek battle strategies.

- But some Roman stuff gets thrown in, too. Which is why Aigis is actually very knowledgeable about Greek and Roman history. 

- In Orgia mode, both she and Aigis both become much more powerful in attacks and Palladion always manages to impress the other Personas everytime with how much power she truly has.

- Palladion also tends to give Aigis advice in school. But, it doesn't help most of the time.

Aigis/Aegis and Pallas Athena

- When Palladion becomes Athena after S.E.E.S. tells Aigis she is more than just a simple machine but a dear friend of all of them, nothing much changes in the relationship between Aigis and her Persona, minus they are much closer than before.

- But now Aigis has better battle tactics and more wisdom on her side. 

Mitsuru and Penthesilea

- Mitsuru and Penthesilea actually have sort of a meh relationship.

- Mitsuru likes Penthesilea because how both powerful and badass she is, and like how she can be both a navigator and a fighter. Sometimes that really saves her life, she can tell you.

- Penthesilea watches over Mitsuru since Mitsuru can be naïve. Penthesilea also will often also give Mitsuru advice with the rapier and battle tactics. She would help Mitsuru be reminded of things, but other than that, she wouldn't get too much into Mirsuru's personal life.

- But both don't really talk much, until after Mitsuru's father and Shinji died. Then, Penthesilea went to Mitsuru and became closer. Helping Mitsuru balance all her responsibilities and at the same time, helping Mitsuru move past these deaths.

- Mitsuru doesn't call on Penthesilea's help too much, but when she does it's either in battle or when Mitsuru is in trouble socially. 

Mitsuru and Artemisia

- When Penthesilia becomes Artemisia after Mitsuru and Yukari had a heart-to-heart talk which helps Mitsuru gain her confidence and hope back, the relationship between Mitsuru and her Persona does not change.

- Well, Artemisia encourages Mitsuru to stay close to her teammates, mainly Akihiko. Not because of Caeser, but more because Mitsuru understands Akihiko more than any other teammates, and Akihiko understands her, too.

- Artemisia also asks Mitsuru look after Fuuka. Well, almost all the Personas ask their Contactors look after Fuuka, but Artemisia has a somewhat soft spot for Lucia since she was a navigation Persona.

Shinjiro (Shinji) and Castor

- Um, I mean I don't think so?

- I think these two aren't in a good place with Castor going out of control. 

- They have much more of an unstable relationship compared to everyone else. Shinji always has to suppress Castor, leading to various fights between the two.

- I also think Castor sometimes will threaten Shinji. 

- But when both of them are in Tartarus and in trouble, the two of them will stand together. But other than that, I don't think they ever really got along.

- Well, maybe when Shinji was in S.E.E.S. with just Mitsuru and Akihiko. I personally think then, Castor and Polydeuces got along really well so Castor could be controlled that way. But, he did have his moments.

- But in the present S.E.E.S., it wasn't so good. Castor could only be controlled due to the pills being there, as Castor and Polydeuces had lost touch.

- But I do think that in Shinji's final moments, Castor and Shinji were able to make amends with one another after being killed by Jin because of Ken, because Ken was endangered, I think both of them could agree that while both of them had made mistakes in the past, they had a job now. And after Shinji died, the two of them were able to talk it out with one another. It wasn't pretty, but they were able to move the past to the past.

Akihiko and Polydeuces

- I actually think these to got along well. 

- Both were fighters, and had been through a lot but was trying to move forward. 

- I personally think Akihiko and Polydeuces talk a lot with one another. They aren't super close to one another, they are more like close acquaintances.

- Polydeuces doesn't look as much after Akihiko as he does the younger teammates. He may not look it, but he does have a soft spot for youngsters. He particularly looks after Ken.

- After Shinji's death, Akihiko became really depressed and Polydeuces kept telling him to get off his butt. Telling Akihiko moping around won't help anything, but Akihiko doesn't listen until he figures that out himself.

Akihiko and Caeser

- And so, Polydeuces becomes Caesar.

- The only thing that really changes between the two are differences in battle tactics, and Caesar asking Akihiko to be more wise in battle. And Akihiko is doing so.

Junpei and Hermes

- Junpei and Hermes are actually pretty close.

- Junpei got really close to Hermes since he fought a lot with him, which makes sense, especially when he has issues with his self-esteem.

- Hermes does give Junpei some help with his self-esteem problems, but not too much. Not for any personal reasons, he just firgured Junpei needs to work out his self-esteem problems by himself.

- But other than that, the two mostly don't really talk with one another, unless in battle.

- They bonded mostly in battle, but when S.E.E.S. was told once they get rid of the Dark Hour, there powers will be gone, too, things between them became much more interesting.

- Junpei became indecisive as to what to do. And Hermes did tell Junpei that it could happen, and he needs to accept that life isn't always fair. Sometimes you need to sacrifice something for the greater good. Which Junpei didn't really want to accept.

- Hermes did encourage Junpei to go after Chidori, and Junpei did.

- Which, didn't go too well for Junpei. As he almost got himself killed until Chidori healed him. 

Junpei and Trismegistus

- And, after Junpei was brought back from the dead, Hermes became Trimegistus. 

- The relationship doesn't change much, besides Junpei listens more to Trimegistus and Junpei becomes wiser because of that.

- Junpei becomes more mature, and he becomes less of the village idiot to an advisior.

Yukari and Io

- I don't think Yukari and Io had as good of a relationship with her Persona compared to her teammates. 

- They were more acquaintances than friends.

- Yukari and Io talked, but it was mainly in battle. Other than that, they didn't talk.

Yukari and Isis

- At least, not until after Yukari found out the true video her father sent.

- Then, the two started talking more. But the more they talked the closer they got.

- And soon, they became really close.

Fuuka and Lucia

- Fuuka and Lucia actually were pretty close.

- Fuuka and Lucia would talk often, and Fuuka would often ask for Lucia's help.

- Which, Lucia is happy to provide. Both of them work great in battle, even though they don't do too much combat wise.

- But other than that, Lucia helps Fuuka out with her many problems in life, like her parents or her femininity problems. 

Fuuka and Juno

- After Fuuka realizes that one is not truly alone, Lucia becomes Juno. 

- Juno and Fuuka become closer and Juno gives Fuuka lots of advice, too.

Ken and Nemesis

- Ken and Nemesis were close.

- Nemesis heavily encourages Ken to find his mother's killer. But, he does tell Ken that it takes time.

- So, Nemesis is partially responsible for Ken's actions by heavily encouraging it. 

- Nemesis is kinda what keeps bring Ken down to a depressive state. So, That's why Ken isn't really in a good place mentally.

- And, Ken lets Nemesis' constant remindings of his mother's death happen. Which helps neiter of there situations.

Ken and Kala-Nemi

- Until, Nemesis becomes Kala-Nemi. 

- In which, Ken and his Persona's relationship become much more healthy.

- Kala-Nemi does try and make their relationship better, which does work out. 

- After lot of bonding, Ken and Kala-Nemi are very close.

- Kala-Nemi and Cerberus do become close, as Ken and Koromaru did. Which, if the team did Partner Attacks, would be a really good and cool attack.

Koromaru and Cerberus 

- Koromaru and Cerberus are very close.

- As, sometimes Koromaru feels like only Cerberus can understand him. 

- So, when Koromaru didn't feel like being around S.E.E.S. Koromaru would find a secluded spot and talk with Cerberus. Cerberus would competely understand Koromaru's pain, and comfort him about it.

- But, Cerberus does encourage Koromaru to stay with S.E.E.S.

- Cerberus has a soft spot for Koromaru's human teammates, as, he often will protect them from Shadows, even when he can't help.

- Cerberus also advises Koromaru on battle tactics, which is why Koromaru is so good in battle.
