Prior to coming to LifeAftr, what is an aspect of your character that they struggled with - be it a shortcoming, a fear, a bad habit, or eccentricity?
Loneliness. In her canon life, Minako spent most of her childhood alone and moving from house to house, and it wasn't until she met her friends that she found some kind of happiness. In her Recollé AU, she had many friends, but constantly feared losing them and going back to a lonely life.
What do they struggle with now? Is it the same as the above?
Still loneliness, especially once she realizes that she can't get back to Recollé. Also powerlessness, once she realizes her Persona powers have been nerfed. She was very used to being a protector to others.
What personal demons, specifically, haunt your character from canon or from past game experiences?
Her relationship with her brother. She didn't see him for 14 years, and once she saw him again, their relationship was strained. She is also haunted by memories of her canon fight with Nyx, as well as her death.
What is the type of person your character hopes to become?
A better sister to her brother, a good role model to others, and a happier person in general.
What is the type of person you hope your character will become?
I want her to be more relaxed and not feel as though she needs to take on the weight of the world. I want her to learn that just because she cares for others doesn't mean she has to throw herself in harm's way for them every single time something happens.
Do any of the Seven Deadly Sins or Virtues stand out as applicable to your character? Why?
Gluttony. She loves to eat. She has a reputation for having a big stomach, and for being pretty protective of the snacks that are hers. Food is one of the ways she comforts herself and brings other people together, and she also grew up in a family that emphasized that.
Charity and/or Kindness. Minako is a woman who is willing to befriend and accept others because of and despite their flaws. She is very warm-hearted, and has gone out of her way many times before to help others in need, whether it's to do a chore for them, guide them through some emotional growth, or just be there when nobody else would listen. Also, she willingly sacrificed herself so the rest of humanity could continue to live on, and if that isn't a huge act of charity then I don't know what is.
