[Background] Replace "he" with "she", etc.
[Personality] The female protagonist is also "silent" and her personality is also shaped by the player. However, her design and dialogue choices point her towards being mostly the direct opposite of the male protagonist. Thus, this will be used as a base for her personality, with a bit of headcanon via my playthrough.

As opposed to her male counterpart, Minami is more talkative and responsive in conversations, though she’s just as much as a good listener. She’s cheery and optimistic; as one of her frequent given options is "I’ll be fine!" However, her degree of optimism is to the point of her being so carefree, that she sometimes becomes oblivious to certain situations. This makes her a bit of a foil to her best friend, the headstrong and slightly snarky Yukari Takeba. Minami’s cheeriness, couple with a bit of an overactive imagination, causes her to come off as eccentric at times. She sometimes focuses on the less important aspects of statements, such as Junpei asking her if she was okay because she looked like a zombie. Her response was "Oh, really? A zombie?", much to Junpei’s frustration. At another time, she is told by a mysterious boy, "Soon the end will come. I remembered, so I thought I’d tell you." Focusing on the latter part of the statement, she thanks him, albeit in confusion. Not only that, she interprets metaphors in a very literal sense.

She is highly energetic and not as sleepy or tired as her male counterpart. However, her fixation on food is just as huge, if not larger. In Junpei’s Social Link, he once exclaims, "How the hell can so much be eaten by such a tiny body!?" She always has an option to order extra at eateries when she’s with friends, and is willing to eat mostly anything that her companions don’t want. She has a fondness and high tolerance of spicy food, once requesting Akihiko to take her to a restaurant featuring such foods, and even eating Ken’s bell peppers for him. She also puts hot sauce in her coffee. On of her hobbies is listening to music, evident by her always carrying her red headphones and MP3 player around. She seems to value having them a lot, as she brings them even during the Dark Hour, when electronics don’t function.

Despite her carefree personality, she takes her role as the leader of SEES quite seriously. Though excitable to the point of interjecting energy-filled and silly phrases, Minami maintains a calm mind during their missions. She proves to be a surprisingly efficient tactician, and, along with her determination, this makes her a very effective leader.

Minami is highly sociable and can be a great friend. She enjoys meeting new people and talking with them. She’ll always help out when needed, and refuses to abandon anyone she thinks is in need. Ever a diligent hard worker, she does her very best in all the tasks given to her. This aspect makes it even more surprising when she seems to do quite well with schoolwork, though it might have something to do with the promise of "nice things" if she aces school exams. She is also shown to be quick in adapting to new environments and situations, but this should be expected as she’s constant moving from place to place as a foster child.

Despite her bright quirkiness, Minami also has a darker aspect of her personality. Though she enjoys helping others and listening to their problems, her selfless personality causes to try and avoid talking about her own problems. Even when faced with something tragic, she tries to not worry those close to her by maintaining her smile and forcing herself to be positive, though she'll be less social than she usually is. Since her family died in front of her eyes at a very young age, she has a fear of being alone, which is only made worse by her constant transferring of school and foster families. It is also due to her being extremely attached to her friends that even if she rarely gets angry, if someone harms or insults any of her friends, she will not hesitate to lash out them. For example, when her friend Saori was slapped by a girl, she would have punched the girl in the face if Saori did not stop her.

After the events revolving around SEES took a more grim route, she has become more calm and mature than she was when she first joined the team. Despite this, she's still prone to making silly comments and her gargantuan appetite hasn't changed a bit.
[Specialties/Abilities] When she shoots herself in the head with a fake gun, she can summon a Persona, which is her personality manifesting as a physical being to cause ~mystical damage~. This Persona can also protect her from vulnerabilities that normally would be fatal or otherwise hurt a lot to a normal human. While most Persona-users are limited to only one Persona, Minami can change her Persona at will, which reflects her adaptable personality. She is skilled with her weapon of choice, the naginata, a type of polearm used for slashing attacks. Despite this, her fighting skills are self-taught, so those with proper martial arts training could get an advantage over her on in a physical fight, though she won't hesitate to slap a bitch when needed.

For non-combative abilities, she has honed her skills in various hobbies through school clubs. Her favorite sport is tennis, so with that and her intense training during missions, she is highly athletic. She is a member of the school’s Health Committee, so she knows some basic first aid. Minami is also noted to be a good cook, as she offers to cook a rice omelet for Ken, which comes out perfectly.

Oh, and she eats so much that it makes her guy friends turn pale.

[Affection] You can try, but she's seems to be a bit of a derp, so she might not recognize any romantic advances. Maybe. She's the kind of person who thinks hugs are the best thing ever, however.
[Fighting] Well, Minami is from an RPG, so she's pretty capable of fighting. She's not really one to start fights, though she'll pretty much want to finish them if some else starts it. If you do not want to start a fight with her, DO NOT HURT OR INSULT HER FRIENDS.

[Other Permissions] I'm cool with anything. Just be sure to check with me before doing anything that's completely drastic.

[Other Facts] ~Minami is currently in no romantic relationship with anyone from her world.
~Within reason, she can be easily bribed with good food.
~She's pretty patient, but push her too much and she'll get angry. You will not like her when she's angry.
