CHARACTER INFO

Character: Futaba Sakura
Canon: Persona 5 Royal post-game, CRAU from Forgotten Tales and Songerein
Age: 18 (started at 16 in FT/Song)

Background Information: her time in the Index was short, and progress she made in getting to the point to befriend others without too much issue was continued in the dream world of Reverein. She also helped in defeating the Story Eater who had run amok in the Index and moved to Songerein, and has grown up just a little... and even got herself a boyfriend! Having someone to change her for the better, and be patient with her has helped, as well as all of the help from her small circle of friends just being there for her have helped her develop into a slightly more well-adjusted person. Also while in Reverein, she led a successful excursion to bring electricity to the town, going out into the wilds to find it. That is to say, she would absolutely do that again if the need arose. Still a gremlin though, still quiet— not all of her quirks or issues have been resolved, but having Seen Some Shit and seen how Reverein grew and the issues that arose, whether she actively helped or stayed behind to keep an eye on the town, she's grown as a person.

Her pre-FT/Song info

Personality:1) Tell us about who your character is and what someone’s first impression would be upon meeting them.

Summed up in an image, no context.

Considering Futaba has been a shut-in for a very long time of her life, with the added spice of ✨trauma✨ from seeing her mother die and the whispers of people who thought she was weird exacerbating the issue, she's pretty weird, but she's still friendly, if not a lottle (not a typo, a little-lot) anxious around people still... which makes her a little bit like a gremlin. She does have some occasionally scathing wit, but mostly, her first impression really is "who is this sassy lost child". Considering the first true meeting face to face with her soon to be friend group was appearing out of her closet before shutting herself in and yelling about "take (my heart) now!!" after a thunderstorm encounter and scaring the soul out of at least one person besides herself, it's hard not to think she's a little weird, initially. Once they get to know her, she's still... weird... but it just seems Right for her.

She still has her wish to not be perceived, even after a few years in Reverein, but it's lessened, now that she's grown up some and had some time to work through her hikkikomori tendencies and work on her agoraphobia. Even in her time before the Index and Reverein, she was getting a little better about crowds of people. Until Futaba is comfortable around people, she'll be a little jittery, and still stutter her words nervously. As she grows comfortable, it lessens until it's gone completely.

She's very tech-savvy, and was a hacker by the name Alibaba (with a former "group" called Medjed) for some time. She's also a quick learner of anything she can get her hands on, and can understand some complex ideals, such as her mother's research on psience and cognitive spaces.

2) What is a driving force your character has? What goals do they have, what motivates them, etc?

The goals of the Phantom Thieves as a whole condense into "stop shitty people from being shitty and help those who can't help themselves" and that's still true for Futaba. Even after the events of the base game and taking down a weird god , she still jumped into action to help against the antagonist of the third semester with no whining or complaining: if it meant setting things right, she would be there to help. Initially, her goal was to take down the person who set up her mother's death after realizing how he could harness the ability she found to use psience to explore someone's mind, essentially, and kill them. Finding all of that out set that in motion, and further finding that it was happening to plenty of people who were taken over by greed or otherwise to further their own lives without helping others cemented her want to do more than just take down Shido. Having the Robin Hood-esque force behind her, that still continues to drive her: helping people so everyone can have a better life.

Her goals otherwise haven't changed as a person; helping people how she can without being perceived is best, but she's done her own work outside of the P. Thieves in Reverein, where she helmed an excursion to bring electricity to the town, and was successful. Later on, she decided to take a trip down into one of the caves near the power plant with Beat, wherein she found a door. She never got to see beyond it, as she popped into Escordvi not long after the discovery. While her old self wouldn't be doing anything large-scale like the excursion, she's grown a lot in that time.

3) What are their flaws as a character? What is something they've messed up, or have done that they regret?

Extreme agoraphobia. It's a little less extreme now that she's had some exposure therapy, so to speak, but she'll always have an initial worry about talking to someone new that she doesn't know. Being around large crowds is something she's been working on ever since she found herself somewhere new at least twice now (and she'd have two nickels because of it!), but it can still be a very jarring experience if it's a new place she's unfamiliar with. She tends to be somewhat reclusive still, even though she's made friends, but will venture out when needed, but it's something she will work on... eventually. Maybe.

Because of her being a person with a Palace and her extreme withdrawal from society, it made her a little less sensitive of people— she did have a friend when she was in school still, but Futaba didn't do much beyond wonder what happened when Kana, her friend, stopped showing up without a word - she later found out what had happened to Kana (without too much of a cw, it was abuse) after seeing some things she shouldn't have from poking around after Kana left school, and she could have reported it... but she didn't. It wasn't later until Futaba found out that it was still happening to her even in high school, and it was only after she became a part of the Phantom Thieves that she put things right with Kana and reconnected with her... after she and the P. Thieves stole her parents' hearts, of course. Acting like everything was okay to her mom and not reporting anything to help Kana previously left her with some guilt and regret, something she didn't want to repeat.


4) Optional: What is something unique and interesting about them, or what is a fun little tidbit that sets them apart from the crowd?

Futaba herself mentions that she has a photographic memory, and that she was kind of bullied for her "weird" ability to read book titles and summaries and remember them exactly, where their position on the bookshelf was, etc.

Abilities & Inventory: Futaba isn't a fighter; she stays out of the action and keeps to the skies in her Persona. At the end of Royal, her Persona's full form is Al Azif - it takes the form of a UFO, and she's the team's navigator, using support abilities for everyone. Her abilities are listed here. Her Persona's trait will most likely not be of use here, since the group isn't there to use it. A Persona is a manifestation of the inner self, but even during her time in Reverein, she needed to be able to use magic to use it— it likely would be the same here, unless any nerfs need to be used, such as needing to re-ink a tattoo more often.

As for items, an origami crane bracelet and a UFO pin. Her laptop will have to be regained. Again. :')


ARMADA SELECTION

Corsairs - though while she could fit in with the Paladins, she was a part of a group who were acting like actual thieves. Since all of the Phantom Thieves are all about sticking it to the man (essentially) and being fed up with shitty adults, staying with the side that isn't just do-gooders would be better. After all, while a thief can do good, they aren't really part of the good guys. :)
