Character Name: Rise Kujikawa
Age/Year/Job: 16, Year 1, Japan's Number 1 Idol!!!!!!!!!
Biography: When Rise was little, she was shy and had little friends. She was more or less the ‘victim’ of her class; bullying is quite a big problem when it comes to Japanese classrooms and ganging up on kids getting picked on. But she got entered into an idol competition against her will and… well, won through the first stages. Hey, she thought, maybe this will help me get popular and have friends! In the end, she passed through the whole competition with flying colors. Eventually, Rise rose up and became the idol known as Risette.
Despite her ever rising fame, however, Rise suddenly quits though to most of her fans she is on hiatus due to sickness. Rise tells the detectives that she is on break due to stress, and there despite the recent murder cases because her grandmother runs a Tofu shop there and she insisted that she might as well stay there and help her grandmother with the shop. Soon, she appears on the Midnight Channel though, and her problems continue to get worse as she is kidnapped and made a part of this murder case by being thrown into the TV.
The group pursues her alluring and highly sexualized Shadow through her dungeon, a strip club dungeon, and manages to save her after Rise works up into accepting the Shadow as part of her true self. The Shadow represents how she is brought up as a sex symbol as an idol. It also represents that Risette is not the real her, just an act. It’s revealed that Rise quit her job just for that, finding that she cannot seem to find the real her anymore considering how much she changed from when she was younger. When she made friends, she found out that her friends were more interested in the character Risette, and not herself, Rise Kujikawa.
However through the time of her Social Link with Souji, despite entering in a relationship with her or not, she realizes that Risette is not another personality altogether that is separate from herself. Instead, it is simply a trait of herself, and she realizes her resolution to go back into showbiz, and show people, especially her fans, not just Risette, but all sides of herself.
So in the end, it’s not just the main character that leaves the group. Rise decides that she will go ahead and return to showbiz, now that she feels she has found herself once more. Even though she may never see the group again, this is something she feels she has to do. But the end is never goodbye. She thought that maybe, beyond her leaving at the end of the game to return to being an idol, she could make excuses to return to Inaba through doing commercials for Junes.
Recently, she has chosen to attend a new school. A private school, where she has received a scholarship for, surprisingly. Despite going to this new school, she realizes she may run into old friends...
Abilities: Rise has the ability to summon a Persona and scan shadows--if she is able to use this persona outside of the TV world in the world of Komoriya, then most likely she'll be able to scan people's statistics and battle capacity, aside from monsters. This is because as she scans an enemy, she is able to read into it's stats, weak points, and any attacks or skills they have. She is also able to heal HP and SP very slightly after battle, and I will assume she has slight healing capabilities with Kanzeon. She also knows how to escape battle successfully, and see the locations of shadows and treasure chests at a high range. This persona allows her to become the ultimate strategist, and possibly if she was more combat based like her shadow, she'd be just about undefeatable.
+ Cheerful (One thing about Rise is that it is hard to see her without a smile. Unless she is going through some really tough times, this is most likely one of her default moods. Happy. That is, unless she is exhausted or stress… or, lonely. This, of course, is one of just many of her moods, though. Not counting the dramatic crocodile tears that could come from her.)
+ Bold (One thing that Rise seems to have gained through her times as an idol is her boastfulness and some of her confidence. She’s also very forward in her flirting, she doesn’t seem to really make it subtle at all. Rise certainly doesn’t seem to shy away from people anymore like she did once upon a time. This boldness and hardball flirting seems to earn her the nickname of a “dangerous girl” from Chie.)
+ Naughty (One thing about Rise is that she likes to tease, and is very flirtatious. Rise is also a convincing liar. She seems to have a thing about teasing other characters even if she herself is not good at such a thing. One such example is that she teases Chie and Yukiko for their cooking skills though she isn’t much for one herself. And we won’t even get into account of the King’s Game…)
+ Unsure (Unsure is probably the best way to put into description Rise’s shyness when she was younger, and also her slightly depressed kind of personality when you see her. It also accounts for her earlier issues of not being sure who her real self is, and her being out of tune with that for a good while before finally deciding to go back to being an idol.)
+ Emotional (Originally this was put as childish, but emotional seems to fit Rise more. She has a tendency to be dramatic, giving off crocodile tears at particular moments. Still, she also cries for real as well; when the main character leaves at the end, she is the only one openly crying. Rise also pouts, and does certainly have some childish tendencies in the end due to her personality.)
