second of these WoF x Persona AU character descriptions! this one in particular I feel is interesting

Turtle of the Unknown

Codename:according to Tsunami, Turt. Turtle however uses the codename Island

Arcana: The Magician

Birthdate: unknown

Persona: The Trickster hero from Māori, Hawaiian, and Polynesian Mythology, Maui(changed from Zorro that Morgana has in Persona)

Backstory: Much of Turtles backstory is unknown even to him. All he knows is his name. his oldest memory is awakening with the body of a cat in the real world, and believes that the disturbances in mementos caused him to be swept away and turned into what he is now, and so tries to fix the distortions in his hope that he may get his memories back, and for two years explores as much of mementos as he could in hopes of trying to get back what he believes he lost.

However, while exploring the distorted palace of a seawing named Whirlpool, he was captured and imprisoned, and soon after met Clay and Tsunami who were on their way out. After the two freed him, Turtle assisted them out of the castle,and soon after permanently partnered with them as founding members of The Phantom Thieves, taking the role of Clays pet in the real world(though he refuses to be outright called such)

Physical Description: Turtle has the form of a fluffy black house cat, with dark green eyes, and a slight chub, which becomes even more prominent after all the treats he gets from Clays current guardian, Kestrel(who was mildly disappointed she couldn’t name the cat).

While in Mementos however Turtle takes a different base shape, one he believes to have been similar to his true body, while also providing him a disguise similar to that of a bandit.

In both forms, he has a waterproof yellow scarf that also doubles as a pouch, and a little golden armband with 6 black gems in it

He can also take the form of a bus!

Personality: Unlike his main universe counterpart, Turtle has much more confidence in himself as a trickster(in part because he doesn’t remember nor know about his true life(if he ever even had one), outside from that he still keeps his personality in tact! Being just as friendly, curious, and thoughtful, though does have a tendency to be slightly more mean spirited, particularly towards Tsunami.

Goals:To change the hearts of the wicked and bring new shining hope to the world. His other goal is to learn of his past and regain his supposed true form, which he hopes will be done by fixing the Mementos distortions(Many of the Phantom Thieves believe he’s just delusional, mainly Tsunami)

Trivia:

-Only those who have been in mementos are able to understand Turtle, to everyone else he sounds like a normal, if whiny due to how much he speaks, cat

-He goes with Clay everywhere in a small pouch Turtle gave him, like one of those teacup pets

-Whenever The Phantom Thieves adventure to long Turtle usually piggy backs on Clay, who for obvious reasons isn’t slowed down much if at all by it

-a solid quarter of the time Turtle has no idea what the hell he’s talking about, and usually just hopes things work out

-Turtles choice of weapons in the mementos world is either cutlasses or fishhooks, as well as a slingshot(though he’s terrible at using it)

-Turtle believes(hopes) his self before he was changed was a heroic and bold figure, who never runs away, always believes in himself, is the most interesting person ever, and has the greatest Penmanship the worlds ever seen(…)
