Point in Canon: Post-True Ending + Max Social Link
Age: 16
Appearance:
Abilities:
She has a persona named Kanzeon which was her persona’s final form once you max out her social link. It’s main use is mainly for support as it has very little attack power, but it is great for getting information off of a shadow to find weaknesses and such.
For more information on what exactly her person can do then a link below will be useful.
She also has pink framed glasses that can see through unnatural fog.
Personality:
Rise is one of your everyday, cheerful girls, who always in very high sprits with a smile that rarely seems to disappear, unless it’s on something she knows calls for the serious matter. She seems very positive in the things that she does and wants to be of help to the team when she first joins the team, becoming a big help in the supporting role when she does.
Out of the whole group Rise is the one that is the friendliest and would be able to speak with others very easily and can even talk to people who are more serious without batting an eyelid strait away. She is also to be known to be a very kind and caring person, for example when it comes to her fans as Risette she still reads their mail and in one case talks to them via letters. Unlike her ditsy showbiz side that is Risette she is more different from that side of herself.
Rise is one who hates people seeing just her idol side, as the shadow of her true self showed and that she is just a girl who is like everyone else, and that is how it started to begin with, but by the end of the game and when the social link is at max she wants to go back into that world, but instead show the people that there is another side to her and not the one that she was always showing in the first place.
Rise also can come off as a bit of a flirt at time, especially when it’s around the main character. Right off the bat after saving her she started and has shown to do this through out the game on occasions.
She is one to care not only for people she doesn’t know, but cares deeply for her friends to as proven when she helps out with being the support role, taking over for Teddie, she has shown that she is a reliable friend to have as her abilities with her persona help them figure out how to be able to beat certain shadows.
Rise is someone who can express how she is feeling and will do if she is feeling sad, depressed or even happy at the time. She is also a very good actress since she has to act at being Risette before she quit.
History:
When Rise was growing up, she was a shy and lonely child, and because of that shyness she would always be bullied by her classmates throughout most of it. It was not until a relative of hers entered her into a competition in which she won it and thus was the start of her stardom. The reason she accepted in the first place was because she thought that if she was popular with fans, then she would be able to have more friend, but the so called ‘friends’ only were interested in the person that the company had made Rise become and that was Risette.
After sometime she quit being an idol and said the reasons was for her health and went to live in Inaba where her grandmother was and she worked at the tofu store that she runs while she was going to be there to help out. When people had heard she was going to be there, people had started to flock to the place just to get a glimpse of her, but would leave disappointed when it was said that she was not there.
She soon met with the protagonist and his friends soon after the people had left and they entered the store, serving them tofu that they ordered. She answered the question that they asked and which she mentioned to Detective Dojima later that they had been there and asked her a couple questions.
It was not long after that, that she was kidnapped and thrown into the TV, in which her dungeon was that of what appeared to be a strip club and her shadow looked like her in a bikini. When the team got there to rescue her she and her shadow was talking, in which the shadow would say that this is what Rise really wanted, but Rise explained that the shadow was not her. This caused the shadow to go berserk and attack and after a while was able to dodge attack the team threw at her.
The shadow was eventually stopped by Teddie and Rise accepted it as it turned into her persona called Himiko that during the second battle that followed hers was a really big help is support from behind the scenes. Soon after she was saved, she joined the team and had taken over the supporting role that Teddie had done previously before her.
During their search to find out just who was the person who was throwing people into the televisions, they had to save a few more people before Nanato was taken. She was the main characters cousin and she had become close friends with the girl herself, just like everyone else, so like all the others they had saved before this one they had to save as well and it was more personnel as well.
After he was beaten they believed that the battle was done and over, but while at the hospital and debating on if they should throw the man who did it into the TV, which they did not, they soon figured out that someone else was involved with the murders of the two people originally. So they decided that they would investigate just who that was and why someone would even do it in the first place.
During December the fog would not lift away and they discovered that by putting on their glasses that they could see through it, which meant that the fog was not the normal fog that they would get usually, it was the fog from the other world that they go to. On further work they soon discovered just who killed the two women previously and with the others Rise went with them to be the support as usual backing them up when they confront the guy in the other world.
After being Adachi, they watched as he was taken over by someone else, someone who said they were behind the fog. So yet again Rise was to provide backup and support through yet another battle as they managed to beat them as well. With victory won for them, they spent until April happy and in no need to be trying to save people as it was not going to be happening anymore, but by the time April came around something still seemed off and it was soon discovered that it was because there was yet another person who must of made that world and the shadows in the first place.
It was discovered who it was it was a god that was sealed away, one that was mentioned in a story they were told when they went on a visit to another school. When confronting her, they soon saw her true form and one by one each person was killed off, much to Rise’s horror as since she was not fighting did not die and watched as they were each so called killed, but in the end their side won and everything seemed fine and as the fog started to clear they saw what was the real place behind the other world.
After watching the wonder that was what the world really looked like, it was time to say there goodbyes to the main character as he got on the train. Rise along with the others ran along the train until they could not anymore as they watched him travel off back home.
Social Link:
During Rise’s social link she reveals to the main character about her childhood and how she became an idol, along with seeing her manager who tried a couple of occasion to get her back into the world of showbiz, but Rise refused as she did not want to go back to that, to be liked only because of her personality that she was made to have.
At one point during the social link she gets a letter from a fan explaining what she was doing as Rise told him that she would like getting the letters from this person and that she felt like reading them and seeing what the girl does because Risette encourages her to try made her think Risette actually meant something.
By the end of the social link Rise decided that she will go back as an idol and show the world that she is not just Rise, but she has a whole different side to herself as well and also learned that Risette was also another side of herself, not just one she though was fabricated by her manager and the people she worked with. She also gained her final persona which was named Kanzeon.
First Person Sample:
[The blackberry appears to be filming as a young girl in brown pigtails is looking at it curiously.]
I haven’t ended up kidnapped again, have I?
[She stands up again, thinking about this for a moment, before picking it up again.]
Sempai? Naoto-kun? Yosuke-kun? Chie-chan? Yuiko-chan? Teddie? Kanji-kun? Anyone?
[She sighs as she places the thing back down.]
I wonder if I can use my persona to find out about this place behind the television, if I’m there again of course.
[She goes to sit back in the chair in the room as she starts to think about what to do, and hopes that one of friends would come and find her again as she pauses looking around. She really hoped her shadow wasn’t here again, even though she had accepted it.]
Third Person Sample:
Rise had gone back to the spot light that was show business, and people were happy to see her again. She had secretly missed being here when she quit, but was glad she was back now and couldn’t wait to show everyone that there was more to her than just Risette, there was another part of her.
She smiled as she had started to get ready, as someone from the backstage staff had gone to get her and let her know it was soon time for her to go on stage. “Okay, I’ll be there soon,” he sounded happy as she said it running a brush through her hair and putting up in her normal style, the way she likes it best.
Today she was going to film one scene for a commercial, which shouldn’t take to long given she had done commercials before. She looked at herself in the mirror, smiling as she said, with a happy sounding voice. “Let’s show the world the new me!”
