[personishfive]

in which goro knows the niijimas

[genshingorlsrevengeance]

Hello can I please request a scenario where the reader messes with the character by saying “I like you too” instead of “I love you too” with Hu Tao, Furina, UMP45, STAR 15 and Makoto from Persona?? Thank you!!

(Genshin Impact/GFL/Persona 5)

Hu Tao, Furina, Shenhe, UMP45, ST AR-15, and Makoto's S/O messing with them

Adding in Shenhe because I felt like writing her! (As per usual)

Hu Tao has to take a second to register what S/O had replied with.

"I like you, too"?

Hu Tao halts before her foot is out the door, turning around with a smirk and eyebrow raised.

(Hu Tao) "Oh? We're being like that today are we?"

(S/O) "Like what?"

Hu Tao taps her finger on their nose as she crosses her arms, smiling.

(Hu Tao) "I'm not leaving until you say it properly!"

(S/O) "Psh, no you won't."

(Hu Tao) "Unlike you, I don't need to be physically present at my job today, so I absolutely can!"

S/O had to relent after that. Because she was right, she would prevent S/O from leaving.

And even if they managed to get away, the prank Hu Tao would play as retaliation would probably not be worth it.

Furina pouts when S/O didn't even say "I love you back". The audacity!

Her hands move to her waist, giving a harsh glare to S/O.

Well, as harsh of a glare as Furina can manage. If anything, it makes her look adorable.

(Furina) "You don't even want to say it back to me, your girlfriend?! Oh, you wound my heart!"

S/O chuckled at her dramatic response.

(S/O) "As if you didn't do this very thing to me last week!"

(Furina) "Hmph! Fine, be that way, for I will not declare my love for you if this is the response I should expect!"

She tilts her head away and begins marching away from the door, still pouting.

It was obvious she wasn't genuinely offended, but two could play at this game!

She could actually keep this bit up for weeks, if prompted.

S/O does not, lest they incur her verbal wrath for the next month or so and demanding a ransom of sweets.

Shenhe stoically turns to S/O, noticing their lips were trying their best not to break into a full smile.

(Shenhe) "...S/O, did I do something wrong?"

They shook their heads and covered their laughter with one hand.

(S/O) "Sorry, I couldn't resist teasing, Shenhe. I just wanted to see your reaction."

Shenhe blinks and tilts her head in confusion.

(Shenhe) "What do you mean? All you said was that you liked me."

(S/O) "Oh, that's what you're referring to. I figured you were going to ask me why I said 'I like you' instead I love you."

(Shenhe) "That goes without saying, does it not? For us, it means the same thing."

S/O chuckled and couldn't disagree with that logic.

(S/O) "Got me there."

Shenhe, for her part, was still very confused.

What was the joke?

45 frowns before she turns back to S/O, adjusting the hair out her face.

(UMP45) "Wow, so that's what I get after opening my heart to you?"

Those words were rarely said by 45, even less so when she was about to depart for an operation.

She looked genuinely hurt, which made S/O rush up to try to ease her anger.

(S/O) "S-Sorry! It was just a joke-"

They were interrupted when 45 broke into a smirk and cut them off with a kiss.

(UMP45) "Mhm, and so was that. Now, say it properly this time, would you?"

Both of them chuckled lightly before S/O gave the correct reply.

(S/O) "I love you, too."

(UMP45) "Not so hard, was it?

STAR pouts when she hears S/O's response, making her face them.

STAR had a hard time saying it without blushing madly, and this time was no exception.

So to get that in response?

(ST AR-15) "Hey, that's not funny!"

S/O barely held back their amusement, making STAR's annoyance grow.

STAR flicks their forehead gently, taking care to not put too much of her T-Doll strength into it.

(ST AR-15) "S-Say it, already!"

With a tight hug around her, S/O gives in, but still laughing.

(S/O) "Sorry, sorry, couldn't resist. Love you too, STAR."

(ST AR-15) "Good..."

She squeezes them back before leaving the room.

Makoto hesitates on departing, taking in what S/O had replied with.

(Makoto) "Like me?"

(S/O) "It's what I said!"

Makoto looks a bit disheartened at the response.

(Makoto) "I see..."

Before her mind could wander, it was brought back to S/O when she heard them chuckle.

(S/O) "Sorry, I didn't mean to make you sad! I just wanted to tease you."

Makoto's blush crept up on her cheeks for a brief moment before she cleared her throat.

(Makoto) "Ah, my apologies. I suppose I'm still getting used to this kind of banter in a relationship-"

S/O cut her off by giving her a kiss on the cheek, making her face burn red for a different reason.

(S/O) "Don't apologize. You're cute when you blush."

Makoto stammers over her words before simply sighing and smiling back.

(Makoto) "I'll just take the compliment...Next time, I should play a joke like that on you."

Which would be easy, if she had a sense of humor.

[incorrect-phantom-thieves]

Futaba: Is it a sibling thing to just have this overwhelming urge to smack them for no reason? Ren walked into my room the other day and I was like “I guess I have to end you now”.

Makoto: Yes. It’s our Cain instinct.

[dannydbeeto]

OMG HAI so glad you askeddd I have like. Everything planned out for this au

‼️Huge spoilers for persona 5 base game hehe

I mentioned this in the tags in my first post but in my head the persona characters are functionally the owl house characters but I still want them to have their backstories and stuff and like i tweek the oh characters just a bit cos there are so many phantom thieves lol. so think of it as like a swap au but not really ok

Sojiro-> Eda

Sae-> Lilith

Futaba-> King

Ren/Akira-> Luz

Ryuji-> Gus

Ann-> Willow

Makoto-> amity

Akechi-> amity/hunter

Shido-> belos

For yusuke Haru and morgana Im just straight up using their p5 backstories

Yusuke is a student at st. Epiderm and he’s in the illusion track (cos one it’s blue and two he can use it for creative stuff I believe in him) he’s still under the tutelage of maderame and he still steals yusukes and all of his students hard work and ren/akira and the gang (Ann, ryuji) have to take yusuke into maderame’s brain à la understanding willow and show him maderame’s true nature and he confronts maderame in his brain and kinda “changes his heart” huge air quotes

Haru is the daughter of potion coven head kunikazu okumura and she is very skilled in plant magic, but to uphold her fathers legacy she is put in the potions track (like willow omg) her father is kidnapped shortly before the day of unity, blame for his murder being put on the “phantom thieves” after he is found dead in a prison cell

Morgana is. In this one. An actual monster cat, he’s like the bipedal monsters in the show and he finds ren/akira not too long from when he falls into this world and “takes him under his wing” he’s in the baby class at hexide and uses his new ride to scare the other kids into doing things for him this is how ren/akira finds himself in hexide and finds the school endearing (he’s only seen the baby class)

Makoto is less of amity in the way that they’re rivals to lovers (unless you want that im open to it) but more of Makoto is the star student and a very skilled witch and ren and co are wreaking havoc all around campus

Their tracks

Ren- multi tracks (excels in oracle magic though)(Arsene is a ghost he’s besties w)

Morgana- baby track he hasn’t decided yet

Ryuji- originally in the potions track but got lippy with the grudgby coach and got switched to the detention track

Ann- abomination

Yusuke- illusion

Makoto- healing

Futaba- oracle (because it’s funny)

Haru- plant (originally in potions)

Akechi- emperors coven/ multi track in his school (favoritism 🙄) also peep the parallels to ren/akira

I imagine sojiro is in a coffee lovers coven or something that’d be really funny

Anyway yeah I’m prolly gonna draw more soon but hehehehehehe

[waltz-malice]

Could we please get general relationship headcanons for Ann, Makoto, Fuataba, Haru, and Sumire? Thank you!

a/n: tysm for this request!! i mostly blabbed for these general headcanons, so sorry if some seem out of left field! i hope you enjoy!

ANN RELATIONSHIP HEADCANONS!

ann, against what her classmates may have chosen to believe, honestly has never been in a relationship before -- so nearly every date idea and romantic ways to spend time together comes from the movies she tends to watch! she treats you the same as always; her best friend, someone she can just be herself with, and someone to rely on!

ann's favorite places to take you dates on has got to be different restaurants and cafes! she loves trying out new food items with you, though most of her favorites are desserts, admittedly... but feeding you food like they do in romantic chic flicks is always a must regardless! (ignore how she nearly poked your eye out that one time...!)

she isn't too big on kissing in public, mostly because she gets flustered like crazy and always manages to make a fool out of herself by her standards, but she's nearly always holding your and keeping you close!

ann's love language is most likely physical touch and quality time in my interp! words of affirmation are a close third, but she can never say anything too romantic without thinking she sounds too cheesy...

MAKOTO RELATIONSHIP HEADCANONS!

makoto had never really entertained the idea of getting a partner while in high school; after all, she had always been so focused on her studies, right? but you were a sudden, wonderful gift that she wouldn't pass up for anything, and she can't imagine a future without you at this point!

makoto doesn't really visit too many hang out spots outside of school itself, but that doesn't mean she doesn't enjoy going places with you -- you usually have to be the one to make the decision, though! out of all the places you've visited so far, makoto has enjoyed strolling through book town and occasionally visiting the arcade when it isn't too crowded, but usually she's content with staying at home with you and just enjoying your one-on-one time together!

she's absolutely out of her league when it comes to anything PDA, and honestly gets flustered with any hand holding early on, but once she's more in her comfort zone, she often enjoys having you lay on her lap while she's reading a book or studying; to her, it just feels peaceful, and she enjoys the comfortable silence with you!

makoto's love languages would definitely be words of affirmation and acts of service, both giving and receiving! at times, makoto needs reassurance that she's even doing the right thing with you, but you're always more than willing to give her that reassurance, and for that she's extremely grateful; she doesn't feel the need to prove herself useful to you, but even so, she enjoys doing little things to make your easier when she can!

FUTABA RELATIONSHIP HEADCANONS!

i think it's safe to say futaba is an absolute, lovable mess in this relationship, right? she manages to play off her embarrassment and flustered reactions with silly jokes that usually get you to crack a smile, but that also means she has trouble giving proper responses to serious conversations... well, we can't win them all! (you totally won this one)

futaba is another one of those partners that doesn't really have the social battery to go out all the time, she'd much rather stay at home and game with you! still, when the two of you do go out on dates, it's usually to shop around and hunt for old game consoles at akihabara, or like once a year go to a convention! the convention definitely has to be lowkey though, she's improving with her social skills, but that's just way too high level for her current ranking!

futaba is clingy as all hell, especially in public! you're her rock, her anchor, her second key item next to joker, her power-up!!! she's always close by when you go out, holding hands or practically making you trip over your feet with how close she is... and when you're at home, she's always curled up against you like some sort of cat!

her love language is easily quality time and physical touch! futaba has spent so long pretty much isolated from everyone, and now that she's finally found her partner for life she doesn't want to be away from you a second longer than she has to be, whether that means hanging out or having her tackle hug you every chance she gets!

HARU RELATIONSHIP HEADCANONS!

haru is a bit more tricky, if i'm being honest... she genuinely thought she was doomed to be stuck with sugimura after her engagement to him, and even now that it's been annulled, she's wary of putting too much pressure on you as her partner too soon; even so, haru's love for you is true, and she wants to make it work!

haru is often busy with her new role as the acting ceo of okumura foods, but when she does get the chance to spend time with you, you can bet she's going to spoil you! reserved spots at classy restaurants, taking you to all the sights you could ever want to see, even trips overseas -- she may have never been fond of her own wealth before, but now that she has someone she truly cares for to spend it on, why not make the most of it?

the last thing haru wants is for you to get caught up in rumors that may swarm her as a ceo, so she keeps too much PDA to a minimum for moreso your safety than hers; alone, however, she's a very physically affectionate person and a major cuddler! when the work day has caused her more stress than she cares to admit, the first thing haru wants to do is curl up beside you and just breathe for once!

as stated above, haru is big on physical touch, but also giving and receiving gifts! for a really long time, all people really sought out of haru was her wealth and the benefits of her status, but with you? with you it's infinitely different, you love her for her, and she's eternally grateful; in haru's mind, it's only fitting that all her care and kindness goes to you and no one else (aside from the others she can truly count on, i.e. the thieves)!

SUMIRE RELATIONSHIP HEADCANONS!

sumire is futaba's level of awkward in a relationship, but in less of a humored way and more of a shy way; sumire still struggles with her own self image even after she and you both agreed to give her time to rebuild her fractured mind and find worth in herself again. even so, she doesn't want to wait forever, not when you could slip through her fingers any moment -- the time is now, and she can heal with you, she realizes!

sumire's favorite places to hang out with her would have to be in cozy places like the diner or the park, places where she can just be herself, or push herself to be a better version of herself, all while you're there cheering her on! when you're her only audience, the world feels a bit lighter on her shoulders

she is very, very easily flustered over the simple things, and this includes PDA and just holding your hand -- not that she doesn't enjoy it! she just doesn't know what to do with herself in those moments, and ultimately she prefers for you to take the lead

i do feel like sumire's love languages are words of affirmation and acts of service! for her, she needs a lot of reassurance, she's still figuring her own wants and needs out after all, and she's incredibly careful to do the same with you; she also likes to show you just how cared for you are, and in return she gets absolutely giddy over knowing you really went out of your way to do something as mundane as making a meal for her!

[ryukoto]

samurai ryuji & lady makoto 🖤

[faruzeni]

Could we please get some general romantic relationship headcanons for Ann, Makoto, Futaba, and Haru?

🍮 ;;

♡ Ann : 

Ann considers herself to be the type of gal to never shy away from affection! She even considers it a time well spent going shopping with her partner, although communication is an absolute must, especially if the both of them aren’t feeling up to it.

Don’t feel like going out? No problem! She doesn’t consider herself to be the most excellent chef or baker out there, but she’ll whip up anything for a promising night watching television and playing games as two lazy lovebirds. This is especially accentuated if her partner has come down with a cold. She may be a little too overly worried on the inside, but on the outside, she’d prefer to keep up a more friendly expression to ensure they’re comfortable and get well soon.

Of course, having an aching sweet tooth comes with its perks, and that’s sharing her favorite crepe! If they aren’t up for a chocolate crepe with strawberries and whipped cream, maybe dinner and a night on the town!

Her favorite date spot would have to be the beach! Ideally she has always dreamed of riding a ferris wheel with a nice view of the ocean, but if they don’t have one, banana boats will be the next best thing. She’d love to tell them all about her ventures with Futaba and Makoto the last few times they rode a banana boat together, making it a perfect bonding activity to get to know one another more.

♡ Makoto :

Considering herself to be a jittering bundle of nerves when in a relationship, Makoto may not be the best at romantic situations (as she believes herself to be more awkward rather than suave), but she definitely excels at communicating with her partner. She doesn’t want to have any unrealistic expectations when going into a new territory like this.

She’s not much of a flirt as she is studious. She prefers to gauge what her partner may enjoy from afar and out from the corner of her eye rather than be blunt or upfront about it. After all, who doesn’t love a good gift surprise?

Don’t get her wrong though, she’s not much of a monetary giver as she is someone who prefers doing acts of service. Need to run an errand? Let her help. Cook a meal? How funny, she just saw the perfect recipe online!

Her favorite date spot would be a place with exhilarating views and experiences. Something like a theme park or go-kart racing. She tends to have a bit of a competitive side to her, fully honing in on absolutely defeating everyone at the venue if they go go-kart racing. If she wins some sort of prize, she definitely gives it to her partner, cheeks red and mumbling a flustered apology under her breath after getting a little too carried away.

As for amusement parks, she finds herself going on the wackiest of rides. One that goes upside down, the other twirling them around until they get dizzy and maybe even sick, no matter the trial, she always has fun with the one that she loves.

♡ Futaba : 

Being the epitome of inexperienced in many of life’s aspects, Futaba has much to explore and learn. She makes a lot of mistakes at first, oftentimes without realizing, but once she gets the hang of things, she’s the most lovable companion to her partner.

At first it might’ve been rocky—after all, Futaba might’ve been a little more out there as a much younger child, but she’s sheltered herself for the majority of her life. Interactions are the worst for her, so when entering a romantic relationship, codependency was likely a trial she needed to overcome. 

She’s a little more on the clingier side of things, though she feels terrible if her partner is in a sour mood and she wants to stick to them like glue. Communication isn’t her strong suit, not wanting to mess up or ruin anything in fear of overstepping boundaries, which is why she’s rather restitute just in case she feels as if she’s done something wrong. 

She definitely needs a lot of reassurance from her partner, but just in case they aren’t very adept at verbal and physical affirmations, she loves gaming with them and doing their own things together if something goes wrong, or one of them has an off day. She loves learning about her partner through ways of conversing, namely asking questions that can be a little too quick-spoken and overwhelming, but lovable nonetheless.

Her favorite and most ideal date would be in the comfort of the indoors, playing games and snacking on whatever is in the kitchen. She hopes that her partner can be up for that, but if not, she’s up for accompanying them for outdoor activities. She wants to get better at these sort of things!

♡ Haru :

Bringing her partner flowers, lunch, or tickets to a movie, Haru is much more smooth than anticipated when in a relationship. Namely, her choice of affection would be gift-giving, but she’s excellent at verbal affirmations, physical affection, and acts of service as well! 

She can go a little overboard with the gifts, but oftentimes she’ll ask if it’s alright to get her partner a little something (even if it ends up being a little more than anticipated), but her partners favorite flowers and a little heartfelt card with ribbon are a must for their little dates.

She doesn’t consider herself to be too extravagant, even if she truly is, so it might be best to let her know that she can’t rent out an entire theater for the two of them to watch a single movie. However, if their partner is okay with this sort of thing, she has no qualms about doing it more often!

She’s a big enthusiast for horror films and Halloween, which means excellent couple costumes! She loves to go shopping and try on clothes with her partner as well, primarily just to see her partner all dolled up, fully willing to buy out the whole store’s stock for them.

Her favorite date spot would be a nice candlelit dinner, chatting all about one another and learning more and more about her partner. She’ll be the main one asking questions, propping up her chin with her palm when the waiter or waitress isn’t around to take their order, fully invested in listening to them ramble on about their own experiences and favored things.

Somewhere in Maruki's Palace

*Maruki is typing fanfiction of his favorite characters and how they will kiss in the moonlight on the end and probably will be separated cause they're star crossed lovers*

Meanwhile some of the thieves and the shadow is just looking at him while he just busy typing away

Some shadow : my lord maruki wtf are you doing?-

Maruki : THE VOICES!

Haru : oh...should we...uhhh get him out of this room even though he's typing....something

Makoto : idk maybe I'll try to-

Ryuji : sensei

*Maruki now stares at ryuji*

Ryuji : we need to go because uhhh somebody broke the metaverse and we probably need your persona to fix it soooo

Makoto : Can you please do it for the sake of morgana sake?

*Maruki then saved his draft of his chapter and sighs*

Maruki : I'll see what I can do.

*Makoto sighs in relief*

Haru : splendid!

*Morgana screams in his cat language*

[analytik2]

those are my 3 persona wielding girlfriends. yes they pass the baton

[mintea273]

just had the epiphany that my favourite characters/ships are all unified by the fact that they would heavily relate to When He Sees Me from Waitress

[genshingorlsrevengeance]

Hiiii since it’s my birthday really soon, can I get Hu Tao, Yae Miko, Chiori, UMP45 and Makoto from P5 celebrating readers birthday?? Maybe a surprise party?!?!?!?!

(Genshin Impact/GFL/P5) Hu Tao, Yae Miko, Chiori, UMP45, and Makoto celebrating Reader's birthday

Oh god, I hope I'm still on time for this.

(Hu Tao) "HAPPY BIRTHDAY!"

Hu Tao pops out of absolutely nowhere and scares the hell out of (Y/N), but she is beaming with energy.

Despite the fact the clock had just struck midnight, and S/O was in their own room.

(Hu Tao) "Soooo, what do you plan on doing? Got any cake for today?"

(Y/N) "Hu Tao, I'm trying to sleep. We can talk about this in the morning...Actually, how did you even get in my house?!"

(Hu Tao) "Details we can discuss after your birthday plans! Now, what do you want for today? I can try my best to get you a good sale!"

(Y/N) "Well, it's not a coffin or ghost, I'll tell you that much..."

(Hu Tao) "Wow, buzzkill! I guess I won't treat you to Xiangling's today after all!"

Hu Tao is definitely the type to throw a surprise party, though it's not much of a surprise since she appeared in their bedroom.

Later when it's actually a humane time of day, she invites them over to her home to celebrate properly!

She still wishes they could've had the celebration late at night though, Hu Tao had a lot of jokes planned...

Normally, Yae is supposed to do a formal recital of wishing a pleasant birthday.

But to hell with that, that was boring.

Yae decides to wish (Y/N) a happy birthday in her own way.

(Yae) "(Y/N), I expect to have a good meal today."

(Y/N) "Shouldn't I be the one saying that to you?"

(Yae) "Perhaps, but surely you don't plan on going anywhere mundane to eat for such a very special occasion, right?"

(Y/N) "N-Not if it's going to bankrupt all of my Mora!"

(Yae) "Oh come now, I do not eat that much."

(Y/N) "Wait, why am I paying for you on my birthday?!"

(Yae) "Well, thank you for offering! You're such a kind soul!"

(Y/N) sigh

She doesn't really host a party for (Y/N), at least not by herself. But at the very least, she'll make it a damn entertaining day, for better and worse.

Oh, (Y/N)'s birthday. Neat, Chiori supposed.

(Chiori) "Yes yes, happy birthday and all that."

(Y/N) "Hah, calm down there Chiori, you're getting a bit too excited."

(Chiori) "I hope you don't expect me to have cake and balloons ready to spring out at you."

(Y/N) "Frankly, I'd be more shocked if you did."

(Chiori) "At least you understand that part."

Bluntness aside, Chiori handcrafts (Y/N) a nice present before their very eyes.

A handmade gift could speak more than a million bought gifts ever could.

As much as Navia would disagree with her.

(Y/N) has better chances of Chiori throwing them a surprise party as they would surviving a lightning strike from the Raiden Shogun herself.

45's smile seems to soften when (Y/N) enters the dorm, though it was nearly pitch black.

(UMP45) "Well, you took your sweet time coming back."

(Y/N) "45? Why are you in my-"

UMP9 leapt out from underneath the table as the lights came on. HK416 was leaning against the wall while G11 was face first on the same table, sleeping away.

And in the middle appeared to be a cake that looked...ambitious, to put it kindly.

(UMP45) "Happy birthday.~"

UMP9 blew on a party horn, the small paper unfolding and making a small doot noise as her arms extended in joy.

HK416 simply shrugged and grunted, and G11 was still comatose.

(Y/N) "T-Thank you guys! You didn't really need to-"

(UMP45) "Not really, but I figured it'd be fun to celebrate something special with you."

Her smile only seemed to grow when (Y/N) joined her, watching the chaos unfold as UMP9 tried to cut a cake, despite the fact the knife was getting dangerously close to G11's unkempt hair.

(UMP45) "Thought I'd bring the squad along to have fun too. Clearly it's working better than I thought."

(Y/N) "This is already so chaotic though!"

(UMP45) "Exactly."

Makoto is caught off guard when (Y/N) enters the room, holding a small cake with a candle in it.

The cake itself seemed terribly made, as it looked like it'd crumble if one simply stared at it for too long.

(Makoto) "U-Um...Welcome back! I tried to make something for you myself and...you see how that worked."

Makoto sighed but (Y/N) laughed, giving a comforting hand on her shoulder.

(Y/N) "I appreciate it, still. But hey it smells really good!"

(Makoto) "And the taste...?"

(Y/N) took a bite out of it, and smiled, turning back to Makoto.

(Y/N) "Honestly, not bad! I'm not dead yet!"

Makoto chuckled as she sighed.

(Makoto) "Well, I suppose that's good reassurance."

Makoto would fail instantly at a surprise party, mostly because she'd spend too much time to get it ready, only for (Y/N) to walk in way too early.

[naranj1ta]

Replaying P5R, and I still can't believe Makoto had this presumably world changing revelation and then atlus turned around and made her a cop 😭😭

Like I'm sorry, but the answer of how do we win against "society" is literally abolition and reforming society so we don't depend on violence and oppression !!

What happens over the ensuing four days sees Ryuji and Morgana becoming closer than either of them could have imagined.

[p5x-theories]

Queen in P5X

(last updated 8/3/24!)

Makoto Niijima is primarily present as a Phantom Idol, or cognitive teammate. She has not yet made any appearance in the main story, outside of her lines during the Sae Palace escape intro cutscene.

In the P5 Collab's Bank chapter, Queen is first seen refusing to explore the bank with just herself and Closer, fearing it's too high a risk when they're not sure where their teammates are. When the rest of both groups (minus Joker) meet up with them, she quickly impresses everyone with how much she was able to figure out just from what Closer told her about how these places work, to the point that Cattle attempts to recruit her to his team (to everyone else's shock). She turns him down, but the two teams continue to work together to explore the bank and search for Joker.

Queen primarily acts as a voice of reason/substitute leader in the absence of Joker, and does a lot of the reasoning to figure out what their next move should be as they explore.

Makoto can also be found in Leblanc in the real world, which Wonder is for some reason capable of crossing worlds to visit. She won’t appear until Wonder has met her in the Bank Chapter, but seems to have been looking forward to meeting him when they are eventually at Leblanc at the same time, though she starts out by mentioning everyone else looks forward to chatting with him. She talks about the things she's gotten used to since becoming a Phantom Thief- including the pairing of coffee and curry for a meal, which seemed strange to her at first, but now she can't imagine one without the other- as well as academics, suggesting she and Wonder study together sometime, and can even be found working on the crossword puzzles.

Queen's Persona Johanna is categorized as a Nuclear type, and resists Nuclear while being weak to Psychokinesis.

Johanna is a Resist Persona, meaning she’s good at targeting single enemies, and her trait gives her a level of "Tenacity" after using a skill to attack an enemy. If she has five levels of Tenacity at the start of her turn, she can enter the "Iron-Blooded Will" state, at the player's discretion (originally this was automatic, but it became manual after complaints when she was first added). Her first nuclear attack skill deals five hits to random enemies, prioritizing those that haven't been hit yet (doing less damage with each subsequent hit to the same enemy, and doing more damage if the enemy has an elemental status effect) and afflicting one enemy with radiation; her heal skill heals one ally based on Queen's attack stat, then buffs Queen's attack and gives her at least two levels of Tenacity (potentially more based on the elemental status effects enemies are afflicted with); her second nuclear attack skill hits one enemy, dealing extra damage if they have an elemental status effect, and gives Queen two layers of Tenacity (If Queen is in the Iron-Blooded Will state, this attack instead does even more damage, and extra damage for each elemental status affliction the target has, counting up to three status effects). Her passive skills increase her attack based on the number of elemental status effects on the field, and cause her to take slightly less damage at the start of combat, which is further reduced every time she enters the Iron-Blooded Will state.

As in P5, her melee weapon is fists/gauntlets, while her ranged weapon is a revolver. Her Highlight is shown from 0:44-0:55 in this video, and it starts by giving her two "Heat Quality"; one Heat Quality causes one elemental status effect on the target, and Heat Quality will be consumed in this way until the target has two elemental status effects. After, any remaining Heat Quality is used to increase the damage of a single-target nuclear attack.

Her recommended card sets are 1) 6 of Swords (Science) + Page of Cups (Awareness), 2) 4 of Coins (Power) + Page of Coins (Growth).

The game recommends teaming her up with 1) Vino, 2) Leon.

Persona 5 But It's Party Crashers Again

[Mario Party, Paddle Battle]

(Joker has locked in, and is using his palm to rotate the control stick.) Akechi, imitating Luigi: I'm-a so tired, Mario... Makoto: Come oooonn!! Ryuji: Akechi, are you doing this on purpose?! Akechi: WHY WOULD I BE DOING THIS ON PURPOSE!? I'M SO TIRED! Makoto: Guys! Focus! You're not even rotating, Akechi! Akechi: What?! WHY?! Ryuji: What do you mean he's not rotating?! WHAT'RE YOU DOING?! Makoto: Akechi, you're not rotating! (Akechi, Makoto, and Ryuji lose.) Makoto: What, do you just love throwing, Akechi? Akechi, crying: Why is it not rotating? I was rotating, I swear!

~~~

[Various Mario Party Games]

Akechi: Imagine being in last place with zero Stars.

~~~

[Mario Party Superstars, Space Land]

Haru: Hidden block? (Guess what?) Ann: YES!! Futaba: NOOOOOO!! Joker: Haru, you were too nice!

~~~

[Mario Party Superstars, Futaba is about to steal a Star.]

Futaba: Joker, why should I not choose you? Joker: You shouldn't choose me... because I want you to go random. Futaba: Why. Joker: Because that's the spirit of Mario Party. Futaba: ...okay, kinda cringe. Okay. Inari, why should I not pick you? Yusuke: Oh, well, I have one or two reasons. I have failed every single minigame, lost every single Chance Time, I have few Stars, I have few coins, I have nothing, so please, do not pick me. Futaba: ...Akechi. (Futaba doesn't give him a chance and just chooses him.) Akechi: WHAT? WHAT?! (Futaba starts laughing.)

~~~

[Mario Party, Bombs Away]

Ryuji: Whoever falls first is cringe! (Ryuji immediately falls. The others laugh. Soon after, Joker gets blasted off the island, the game stutters while Luigi is mid-air.) Joker: WHAT?!

~~~

[Mario Party 2]

(The Star Space spawns right on Akechi's space.) Akechi: Oh my--! What--?! WHAT DO I DO?! WHAT DO I DO?! Futaba: No, it's the fact Akechi can't get it! Akechi: I CAN'T GET IT?! WHY IS THAT EVEN A POSSIBILITY?! WHY?!

~~~

[Mario Party 2]

(Makoto rolls a 10 and gets a chance to put a Slow Curse on someone.) Akechi: Oh, wait! Niijima-san, you could curse him to guarantee he does not get it. Makoto: ...I mean, yeah. Joker: Really, you're targeting me?! Makoto: It's just that-- you're gonna get the Star before me probably. Joker: How, I have eighteen coins! Makoto: You're gonna win another minigame! You're good at this game! Joker: And you go before me! Makoto: You're too good at this game-- Joker: You literally roll before me-- Makoto: --to not factor in-- Joker: --and you're two away! Makoto: --three turns ahead, I'm sorry! (Makoto chooses Joker.) Joker: DUDE-- WHAT-- LIKE-- WHA--?! Makoto: You're too good at this game! Joker: YOU'RE LITERALLY GOING BEFORE ME! YOU COULD JUST GET THE MUSHROOM RIGHT HERE, WHAT?! Futaba: Guys, it may not seem like it, but this is the correct play. I-- I wholeheartedly endorse this. (One Item Minigame Later, after Makoto realizes she didn't have to put a Slow Curse on Joker...) Joker: Oh my God, you're right, Akechi, the leader of the Niijima Nation is full of rats! And schemers! And toads! (The others laugh while Makoto tells him to stop, laughing a little herself.) Joker: Not just rats, but snakes! Slithering in the dark, just sssss-- just SLITHERING! I haven't done ONE thing to harm you, Makoto! And this is how you repay me! Makoto: Just roll the dice! (Joker rolls a two and reaches the Battle Space.) Akechi: Nooooo! Joker: Yeah! Yeah! Hope it takes all your FUCKING HEARTS NOW! (Everyone laughs a bit.) Akechi: You've unleashed the wrath of Joker on you, Niijima-san. May God bless your soul.

Youve probably made a post ab this on Pinterest, but DRGOHAD voice claims?

I have! But no worries! (One of my friends made a video compiling all the voice claims, so if you wanna hear the voices, go to b1ngl3zz on Pinterest, itll be there somewhere!)

also these vcs are old, so I might change it but for now:

Hiroshi Hanako - Bridgette (TDI)

Daisuke Amaya - Millions Knives (Trigun)

Kenji Yuto - Langa Hasegawa (SK8 the Infinity)

Kioshi Yasho - Ash (Fantastic Mr. Fox)

Chiako Myouken - Snorkmaiden (Moomin Valley)

Ezume Kanokawa - Ann Takamaki (Persona)

Akihiko Shimasawa - Ron Stoppable (Kim Possible)

Chihara Fumiko - Shego (Kim Possible)

Michi Koshiro - La Muerte (The Book of Life)

Kisho Whitlock - Marshall Lee (Adventure Time)

Akemi Reimato - Makoto Niijima (Persona)

Naoko Reimato - Sigma (BSD) (Sigma is NOTHING like Naoko, I just think his voice fits.)

Azami Choga - Young Neil (SPVTW)

Osuka Sasaki - Louis (The Walking Dead)

Aika Emiko - Mio (K-On!)

Mayumi Yuta - Mai (ATLAB)

Amaterasu - Yae Miko (Genshin Impact)

and I like to think Monokkusu sounds like Mikado Sannoji. When writing his dialogue, Mikados voice is all I imagine.
