#stares at the boys like ‘why you and my brother are so fuckijg stupid’ it’s hilarious

I woke up because I understood one thing about Zarina in P4 is that she’s literally turning 17 in Inaba so she is pre-military and just right after her going through physical therapy and also trying to get over trauma after her kidnapping back in Russia. So P4 verse is basically at the moment where she’s establishing herself and tries to find what kind of ‘self’ she should be presented as. This means she’s not yet her Most Charming Self and Indulgent Self, she’s still searching, studying, learning, a bit too straightforward in some situations and a bit too calm in others (borderline emotionless). And she’s never been to school. She’s a child prodigy who spent majority of her time with adults from the criminal/dangerous world. So high school? That’s so fucking weird to her.

She’s already in her acting improvement and study of others, but not to the point of her usual self or even her 18-19 year old self. So she can actually how to be uh… a normal teenager as much as it can be done with all Persona business. But she’s learning better normalcy and it’s actually pretty silly and funny in some cases and sad in others because... This is Zarina trying her damn hardest to be normal after still suffering insanely traumatic things for a child. But unlike her other verses, she gets to… Learn different things normal people do instead of diving deeper into her apathy, cruelty and mercilessness. Instead, she gets bored at school for finishing tests in 15 minutes, works a part time job and tries to understand what does it mean to be normal.
