Name: Yukiko Amagi
Series: Persona 4
Age: 17
Canon: Ah, peaceful Inaba: a small rural town whose only points of interest are the new department store, grilled steak, the weather, and rumors of a strange television program you can only watch at midnight on a rainy night-aptly called "The Midnight Channel". However, it quickly becomes obvious that video killed more than just the radio star, as the people who show up on the Midnight Channel soon turn up missing... or dead. As per usual, this series of unfortunate events can only be solved by a group of nosy teenagers and their issues, up against a mysterious mystery and world-threatening odds... but only by tuning in to their inner selves can they channel the strength of character needed to weather the storm.
Yukiko Amagi has lived her entire life in Inaba, and is next in line to manage its historical spa, the Amagi Inn-despite being a rather poor fit for the job, since she isn't terribly outgoing and she can't cook. While at first she appears to be the polite daughter of a traditional family, her true self is a lot more feisty. Once she's faced her own fears, she turns out to be a responsible, strong-willed young woman who's not afraid to resort to thinly-veiled threats or even violence when pushed. Most of the time she's even-tempered, and thinks about her words-often repeating information back to herself as she tries to puzzle things out-but her composure can dissolve into stammery, enthusiastic overcompensation when she feels out of her depth. She also possesses quite an unpredictable sense of humor-whether a terrible pun will irritate her, leave her incapacitated with laughter or merely rolling her eyes is anyone's guess.
Sample:
Please, don't misunderstand, I'm certainly very honored by your offer to make the, um, "Cultural Freedom Upperclass Dayspa" of Louisiana the "sister-resort" to my family's inn. Having a sister-inn here in America might really help make it more popular, but...I-I don't think you're really our kind of establishment. I mean, a horror-movie theme is strange enough, but giving people directions full of useless things like "over the river and through the woods"-is that supposed to be a joke? Weird publicity is better than no publicity, I guess... but I don't think you should make it too difficult for people; you'll give yourself a reputation and scare them away. You should be proud of your resort, and not have to resort to cheap gags to win people over.
Although... it doesn't look like you're having much trouble with guests at the moment. April isn't usually a popular month for tourism. Is this time of year really that taxing for Americans? Still, you have to think of the rest of the year. People aren't going to be encouraged to relax if you have a brochure full of things like, "Come experience our open-air baths, perfect for spa-ing on people" or "Authentically rustic cabins-not-too-near-the-lake-so-stop-whining". It's more likely that they'd be constantly on their guard. Still, I'll try and learn everything I can about your establishment... that's only fair. Maybe you could tell me something unique or-Yes, that's exactly it: something that will help us get a feel for one anoth-wait. "Get a feel for...?" ...Ugh, how dare you! Take this-!!
...Oh. My hand moved without thinking. I'm sorry, I thought you were making some sort of perverted joke. But if that's not what you meant, I'm sure there's no problem... It's not like someone would file an official complaint and try and get your business license taken away over just one tacky joke. Especially because we've been getting along so well. Oh! I know, why don't you teach me how to make the area's specialty dish? Actually, before I came here, I'd been practicing my cooking a lot, and I'm almost making things entirely by myself now! O-Or, well... almost entirely cutting up all the ingredients myself. I'm sure I'll be fine. A soup shouldn't be that difficult. No, really... there's no point if I don't learn to do it myself, but it's nice of you to offer to give me a hand like th-wait. "Give me a hand"...?
-Pfffffffthahahahahaha-I get it! Give me a hand! Because, because, you're dressed as zombies, right? Fffffffhaha...th-that's- that's terrible! Hee...ahahahaaa, haaaa...
...N-No, I'm sorry, I got distracted. I promise I'll really put myself into making this soup! So, for soup...we need a liquid, right? In that case, probably any simple liquid we have on hand will work. Oh... what about the lake water? That's all natural, and you don't get any more "local flavor" than that, am I right? So then... there! If it's boiling, that means it's done, I'm sure. So, please, go right ahead! It's delicious, right?
..."To die for?"
...Sheesh, your sense of humor really is tasteless.
