here’s a couple things i see as big parts of naoto’s character that i’ve noticed are generally overlooked in favor of one or two simple personality traits
she’s foreign… she’s half british on both of her parents’ sides, an npc says so in golden and it’s gotta be relevant or they wouldn’t have bothered to put it in the game (it’s a rumor but if it was false information they’d have made that clearer). during her social link, yakushiji also says, “regardless of her heritage or gender” keyword: heritage, which leads me to believe she may have faced some adversity for being mixed as well.*
(*SIDE NOTE: i know it’s just a rumor but from a developers stand point i don’t think they’d bother putting it in the game to begin with if there wasn’t a little truth to it, it might not be an official statement but i think it’s something they wanted to include in a way and i think that’s relevant enough to deserve a mention. blue eyes have also been something exclusive to foreigners in the persona series. )
she has a bad temper, like tantrum bad. they point it out several times and she even scolds herself for it during the fight with her shadow… also look at her stank ass face she looks like she’s about to spit on someone half the time. she is prone to childish fits of rage/emotional outbursts.
she’s really a mix of shy/polite and aggressive/stuck up, i think it really falls on a natural reaction to who she’s interacting with. she can be so sweet and clumsy in private but she can be a sarcastic shit eating asshole as well, she belittles her classmates and inadvertently insults the intelligence of most everybody she talks to. she’s cocky and sticks her nose up, it’s how she’s had to defend herself while working with the police.
adding to that, she may seem well-adjusted with all the fancy talk and smooth explanations when it comes to work but she’s really at a loss when it comes to having fun and interacting with regular friends. truthfully i think a shakier adjustment into hanging out with everyone may have been more accurate but the hour long lectures and general kill joy attitude of hers is good enough for the sake of time.
in general, i don’t think the more…. volatile aspects of her personality are touched upon in enough detail… outside of being emotionally distant… having no filter, ignoring/hurting the feelings of everyone around her… lmao
also i’m sure we all know this already but she’s a freak… she is truly a freak out of all the romances in the game she says the wildest shit i’ve ever heard. thirsty!
