CHARACTER Name: Minako Arisato Canon: Persona 3 Portable Timeline: Post-Death If playing another character from the same canon, how will you deal with this?: N/A
Personality: In many ways, like her male counter part from the original Persona 3 game, Minako does not have a personality that's set in stone, however, from what others say about her in the game, and the choices given to the player it is possible to piece together a good view of what sort of person she actually is, so she can't be described as a completely blank slate.
Some similarities that should be mentioned though, is that she's pretty fearless and driven by a desire to help, or at the very least collected and difficult to rattle- Even when faced with what she believed to be a gun she didn't panic, and even when the world changed from normal to the rather terrifying Dark Hour, she stayed calm and has proven herself, like Minato, that freaking out isn't something she's prone to doing, even in tense and frightening situations. She's pretty good at keeping her cool at all times. Also, it's worth mentioning that while Minato seems to be oblivious to some of the things people are feeling, Minako is just oblivious to the way some men might look at her.
Unlike the male protagonist though, Minako is an outgoing and active person who likes to involve herself in the lives of others even if it might not always benefit her much as she has a tendency to make other people's problems her own as well, though I will come back to that later. She's described by others as cheerful and carefree, and kind of talkative as she speaks up in many places where Minato would've kept his silence. She's more likely to come with comments on a situation, saying how she's feeling at the time and encouraging those around her when they're feeling down. She's bubbly, and girly, and easily keeps a positive and upbeat attitude going, popular among close friends and casual acquaintances alike and she's shown to be very popular at school as well, and able to get along with both her classmates and with people a lot older than her and even in situations she doesn't really relate to.
To her peers she's encouraging- Always willing to listen and help out, come with suggestions, and though some of them might be a bit out there, it's obvious she's someone who wants the best for those she cares for. She'll tell people what they need to hear, even if it may come off as rude- Like asking someone if they're not just being a doormat or telling them they're going too far- without any malice motivating her actions. If she resorts to that sort of thing, then it's honestly because she believes that's the only thing that'll help. Like one of her friends says in the game- She's honest in a way that's not off-putting to others and very clear and outspoken as far as her own opinion goes and it's easy to say that while she's a typical girly-girl who likes to joke around with her friends, she also has a certain motherly maturity to her that comes out when it's needed, enabling her to be bossy and stern for the benefit of the friend in question- She just tends to adapt to what people need her to be.
Around adults though, it's a bit of a different matter- With them she finds it harder to communicate on an equal level and finds herself treated basically like the teenager she is, and thought she accepts that, she does seem to have issues with finding the right thing to say to them, though will generally try to befriend them as well, as she doesn't really care what age those she cares about are, as long as she enjoys their company.
Now, back to the type of person she is- She's bubbly and cheerful yes, but she's also very devoted to the things that matter. She'll throw herself into tasks at hand and quickly become involved, both as a friend and as a leader. She has a sharp wit about her, which she uses both in her forays with her team in Tartarus and to deflate someone else's ego when they're not treating her fairly. As a leader and teammate, she's also extremely loyal and dependable. She knows what she had to do, and will do it, because she truly wishes to keep the people who are the most important to her out of harm's way, and just like her male counterpart, she has a pretty prominent self-sacrificial streak where she doesn't mind getting in trouble or straight out in danger when she feels it's necessary to do so in order to protect a loved one and failing to do so, is one of the few things that can make her feel down, be it failing at being a support or if someone she cares about gets hurt.
Other things that should be taken into consideration as far as her personality goes, is that outside of situations with friends and her team, she can be pretty lazy to the point of sleeping the day away, and take days where she just abandons all responsibility to do as she wishes, though these bouts of selfishness are pretty rare.
All in all, Minako is bubbly and energetic, motherly and nurturing with a thing for sacrificing not only her own comfort for others, but also her own safety should it become necessary, a damn good leader and a damn good and loyal friend who's always willing to give a helping hand.
