Character Number: first
Character: Chie Satonaka
Fandom: Persona 4 (video game)
Personality: Chie is extremely friendly, outgoing, and energetic; she’s shown to make friends quickly - in fact, it’s Chie, not Yosuke Hanamura, who becomes (the Protagonist) Souji Seta’s first friend in his new town. She’s pretty cheerful, for the most part - definitely ranking as more of an optimist than a pessimist - but she does have something of a short emotional fuse. Chie’s quick to anger, quick to cry, quick to panic, but also fairly quick to get over it; she’s not the type to hold grudges or throw herself into long, drawn-out fits of rage or hysterics. She does, however, have a bit of a stubborn streak.
One might say Chie fairly accurately embodies her own motto of “Don’t think, feel.” She’s not dumb, but she doesn’t always take the time to think things through rationally, especially when it comes to her friends. (This is in direct contrast with Souji, who seems, for the most part, fairly level-headed - perhaps the most level-headed person in all of Inaba.) For example, when on the mission to rescue Yukiko Amagi, Chie takes off on her own, heading into the fog basically unarmed. She’s not overly reckless, necessarily, she just allowed her focus on one thing - saving her friend - to take precedence over things like her own safety. It’s not unheard-of for Chie to act in a self-sacrificing manner, either. During the events toward the end of her Social Link with the Protagonist, she steps in to stop a group of bullies from harassing another child in the shopping district, and offers herself as a willing target for their physical violence instead - a pretty gutsy move. In battle, she’s even known to sometimes knock Souji out of the way of a particularly critical blow and take the damage herself.
Chie despises bullies, and seems to have a very strong sense of justice; she’s a walking example of Lawful Good. She genuinely wants to protect people, especially those who are younger, weaker, and oppressed, and she’s fiercely protective of her friends. By the end of the game, this intense desire to protect people leads to Chie choosing to pursue a career as a police officer after high school, under the direction of Detective Dojima, Souji’s uncle.
Chie’s also an extreme martial arts enthusiast, to the point where at the beginning of the game, when Yosuke returns a borrowed martial arts film DVD broken, Chie chases him down and gives him a very critical kick to a very sensitive area over it. She spends much of her free time training, and even uses martial arts tactics in battle. One of her other great loves is meat - steak in particular - but she is a terrible, terrible cook. Yosuke dubbed her cooking “Mystery Food X” for a reason.
Arguably, one of Chie’s biggest fears is that of failure. She’s tough, and strong-willed, and definitely a fighter, and she seems to have never suffered any real, crushing defeats in her life, but even so, her Shadow makes light of this insecurity by taunting Chie during their confrontation - “I can’t do anything on my own, much less as a girl.” Failure - especially failure to protect people, and even more significantly, her friends - would amount to a fundamental weakness for Chie. Since her self-made mission in life is basically to protect people, inability to do so would be devastating to her very essence as a person.
She’s also terrified of bugs, particularly grasshoppers.
History: Persona 4 at Wikipedia and Megami Tensei Wiki; Chie at Megami Tensei Wiki. Chie will be taken from a couple weeks post-True Ending of the game (mid-April 2012).
Abilities: Chie is able to summon something called a Persona, which is basically a manifestation of various facets of her psyche. Chie’s social link with the Protagonist (Souji Seta) has been maxed (friendship route), so at this point in time, her initial Persona, Tomoe Gozen of the Chariot Arcanum, has evolved into Suzuka Gongen. Suzuka Gongen casts higher physical attack spells than Tomoe, along with the same lower-level ice spells; blocks ice attacks entirely; and unlike Tomoe, is not especially weak to fire attacks (or any other types of attacks, for that matter).
A quick overview of Suzuka Gongen’s skills from the stated point in the timeline (around level 74):
- Ice Boost - increases effectiveness of ice attacks by 25 percent; passive ability
- High Counter - increases the chance of countering a physical attack by 20 percent; passive ability
- Tarukaja - increases 1 ally’s attack for 3 turns; costs 6 spirit points per use
- Power Charge - doubles the impact of the next turn's physical attack; costs 15 SP per use
- Bufula - deals medium ice damage to 1 foe; costs 8 SP per use
- Mabufu - deals light ice damage to all foes present on the battlefield; costs 10 SP per use
- God’s Hand - deals severe physical damage to 1 foe; costs 22 percent of health points per use
- Agneyastra - deals a heavy amount of physical damage to all enemies up to 3 times per round; costs 24 percent of HP to use
Chie is also skilled in martial arts (it’s implied she’s self-taught; she spends much of her free time with the Protagonist “training”) and employs these tactics in battle. One of her most powerful moves is the Galactic Punt, which is basically what it sounds like - she kicks really, really hard. MegatenWiki lists this as the only instant-kill follow-up move in Persona 4; this speaks highly to Chie’s great physical skills as a fighter.
