[Background] The date was April 11, 2011. In the small rural town of Inaba, a young man named Souji Seta had come to live with his uncle, Ryotaro Dojima, and his daughter, Souji's cousin Nanako. Nanako was, at first, very quiet and withdrawn around the teenage boy, almost afraid of him. Eventually, she opened up to him, eventually calling him 'Big Bro'. As she talked with Souji, he learned about her mother's death, and her father's reoccurring absences due to his job as a detective with the police department. Over the year, he eventually helped her understand her father's busy professional life, and Nanako realized that her dad also missed her mother as much as she did.
Souji kept secret from both Nanako and his Uncle about the activities of him and his group of friends; mainly, the fact they formed an "investigation team", and were trying to find a serial killer that had been shaking up the small, simple life of Inaba, sending the residents into fear. He and his friends all had the ability to summon "Persona", manifestations of their psyche. They also traveled to a different world which was accessible by going into a TV to save victims of the killer. Eventually, Nanako became close to Souji and his friends, and they all took a liking to her, especially Teddie, a denizen from the TV world. Nanako remained blissfully unaware of the Shadows and the TV world till one evening, when she was kidnapped by a man named Taro Namatame, the supposed lover of the first murder victim. It turned out that after the first two murders (which were committed by Tohru Adachi), he started to 'save' victims by putting them into the TV, after seeing them come out alive. Of course, this was because Seta and his friends pulled them out of the TV world. After getting Nanako free from Namatame's grasp, they attacked and defeated his Shadow. Sadly, after these events, Nanako became severely ill, was hospitalized, and eventually died.
Teddie was deeply saddened by Nanako's death, and through unknown means, he managed to revive her. Nanako recuperated in the hospital while Souji and his friends pursued and defeated Adachi. Afterward, she was able to come home in time for Christmas, celebrating with her dad, Souji, and the rest of the team.
When it came time for Souji to return to the city, he first took care of some unfinished business; mainly, defeating the god Izanami, who was responsible for everything, from Adachi to the murders to the Midnight Channel. Once she was defeated, the fog cleared from Inaba, revealing bright blue skies, and restored the TV world to its natural beauty. A fully recovered Nanako, Ryotaro, and the rest of Souji's friends bid him farewell at the train station as he traveled back to the city.
[Personality] The epitome of innocence, Nanako is probably one of the sweetest kids you could hope to meet. She greets you with a smile, is nice and polite, and tends to care deeply for those around her. She is a bit shy around people she doesn't know at first, but once she opens up to you, she's as cheerful as can be. She's often a source of happiness and light for the characters, a counterbalance to the dark double life they lead. Nanako loves cute things, like stuffed animals, and also loves Junes, a large shopping complex that opened in Inaba before the time the game takes place. It's not uncommon for her to sing the Junes jingle whenever it's mentioned. She also likes to watch television quite a bit, mostly game shows.
Nanako's youth and naivete lead her to not always understand what's going on when it comes to more 'adult' matters; when her father and the protagonist have intense discussions, she often asks if they're fighting. Despite her upbeat attitude, Nanako does have certain things she can get depressed about, mainly her mother's death and her dad's hectic work schedule. However, she has no trouble bouncing back, and actually has quite a bit of inner strength for someone her age. Even after being kidnapped, dying, and being revived, Nanako remains cheerful and upbeat, the experience not too scarring for her.
One of Nanako's bigger fears (though at this point, it's not eating at her like it used to) is her father preferring his job over spending time with her. She also now has a bigger fear of being kidnapped thanks to Namatame. Of course, since she is a child, she also has a fear of ghosts, monsters, and other 'scary' things, though it's not as bad when she's with someone.
[Specialties/Abilities]
Strengths/Abilities: Due to the fact it's just her and her dad in the house, Nanako does most of the shopping, cooking, and cleaning. Her emotional strength and resilience are two of her most redeeming qualities. Nanako, despite her age, is rather self-reliant, having no choice but to be after her mother's death, her father's career demanding most of his time. As for cooking, she's better at it then most of her cousin's female friends. She has no supernatural abilities or powers other than being cavity-inducing cute.
Weaknesses: Nanako's natural weakness is her youth. She's not very strong at all physically. Also, due to her innocent state of mind, the more 'adult' aspects of life leave her confused, or she misinterprets them (and nine times out of ten, she'll ask about them).
[Affection] Hugging is the apex of what's allowed, and even that is pushing it. Anything more and you put your character at the mercy of the Investigation Team and Nanako's dad.
