27 for p5 who is your fave based on first impressions

2. Favorite canon thing about this character?

I like how he’s very sweet to his friends, and sticks to his morals even if he gets hurt for it. I like when nice characters suffer, it’s my favorite thing c:

Edit from like 2 hours later: I feel like the easier way to say this was “i like how he cares so much about his friends yet keeps getting betrayed by his friends” but also … that kinda felt too unhinged to say lmao :’D

7. What's something the fandom does when it comes to this character that you like?

Already answered!

12. What's a headcanon you have for this character?

(Thank you for asking this question too bc tbh I was having trouble deciding which headcanon to share for the last ask hfnrjcenxjcnnc)

Headcanon that Shadowkari doesn’t feel physical pain to the same degree that Hikari does. So, whenever he takes over during a fight, he’s more reckless, and focuses on attacking rather than self preservation.

So, whenever Hikari regains control at the end of the fight, I imagine he’d be left in more pain than he would’ve been in without the curse’s influence.

I also imagine any shadowkari takeover, or even just him whispering in Hikari’s ear, is headache inducing. But Hikari’s used to it, so he’s gotten pretty good at hiding it post-fight (…at least, he hopes he is.)

20. Which other character is the ideal best friend for this character, the amount of screentime they share doesn't matter?

I think Castti would be Hikari’s best friend. They start out right next to each other on the map, so they probably would’ve traveled together for the longest. They’re supportive of each other in their travel banters (Hikari telling Castti that he will always be for her, and doesn’t pry when she regains her memories. Castti reassures Hikari that he shouldn’t worry about being a burden when he needs her to heal him)

I imagine Hikari has a lot of respect for healers, and. While this definitely is not original, I really like the idea of Castti teaching Hikari how to heal people…

Also I imagine they’re both plant enthusiasts lol

(Now, for p5…)

27. Who is your fave based on first impressions?

REN BECAUSE HE NEEDS A HUG.

okayokay I know all of the phantom thieves need hugs because they’re all going through it, but like… Ren’s situation specifically happens to be my literal worst nightmare lmao-

I have so many questions about him. Mainly- if a persona is the manifestation of your personality, then why the hell is Ren able to swap between them so easily? Is he okay?!

*grabs Ren by the shoulders and shakes him* WHY ARE YOU LIKE THIS???

Also honorable mention to Maruki bc he’s so funny to me. With the context that he wasn’t originally in the game, I find it funny how the devs rlly went “yeah new DLC dropped— you can now take Ren to therapy :D”

My guy rlly walks onto the stage, immediately gets called hot, then proceeds to smack his face into the microphone and blunder through his introduction. He’s such a failure I love him. I hope he doesn’t betray us later-
