Characters played at Discedo: N/A
Character's Name: Chie Satonaka
Series: Persona 4
Timeline: The first day of the November dungeon (6 November 2011) canon-updated after her disappearance from Discedo to after the game's True Ending (mid-April 2012)
Canon Resource Link: Persona 4 @ Wikipedia; Chie @ Megami Tensei Wiki.
Personality: Chie is extremely friendly, outgoing, and energetic; she’s shown to make friends quickly - in fact, it’s Chie, not Yosuke, who becomes (the Protagonist) Souji Seta’s first friend in the 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 genuinely wants to protect people, especially those who are younger, weaker, and oppressed, and she’s fiercely protective of her friends. Toward 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 Dojima’s direction.
Chie is also an extreme martial arts enthusiast, to the point where at the beginning of the game, when Yosuke Hanamura 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 mission in life is basically to protect people, taking that away would be devastating to her very essence as a person.
She’s also terrified of bugs, particularly grasshoppers.
What your character can offer: 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).
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.
Chie can also offer a great deal of energy, enthusiasm for protecting people/fighting off monsters, and a friendly, helpful, generally positive attitude. She’d be happy to give self-defense lessons, too, if anyone happened to be in need of something like that.
What items will they be bringing with them? As Chie is coming directly from battle, she’ll be wearing her Skill Greaves (her weapon, which grants +1 to all stats in battle - most likely useless in a chipped state), Armada Bustier (armor, +5 Magic, also basically useless in that respect unless unchipped), Blizzard Vow (charm, increases the damage of ice attacks by 30 percent, similarly useless if chipped), and her special fog-blocking glasses. She’ll be wearing her school uniform (winter edition), complete with green track jacket, and will have her (nonfunctioning) cell phone in her pocket.
MISCELLANEA: to be updated over time; last updated 13 July 2010.
• Timeline - First arrival: 27 October 2009, Discedo Standard Time.
Departure: 31 May 2010
Second arrival: 13 July 2010
• Residence - Chie lives in Latimir 103 with Souji (pursuestruth), Yousuke (masukukunai), and Teddie (unbearable_puns). She has her own room, thanksmuch, so don't get any funny ideas. :| TBD.
• Languages - as Chie is a native of Japan, she pretty obviously speaks fluent Japanese. P4 gameplay shows that English is studied at Yasogami high; however, Chie is not known to be the best student ever, so my best guess is that she can sort of make out most things spoken to her, guessing from the context of what she does understand, but actually speaking English herself is much more difficult. (That is - her comprehension is decent but nowhere near fluent; her own language skills are shaky at best.)
• Technological whatsit - while Chie has been shown in-game (thanks, Yukari!) how to lock/filter posts to certain people, she is not terribly good at it. She'll forget entirely sometimes, and what she does lock is ridiculously easy to hack open. She has zero hacking skills of her own.
• Inventory - Chie currently has at her disposal:
- one (1) Yasogami High girl's uniform, winter edition traded in for spring edition when she went home
- one (1) green track jacket (almost always worn)
- one (1) nonfunctioning cell phone
- one (1) set Skill Greaves (weapon; grants +1 to all stats in battle)
- one (1) Armada Bustier (armor; grants +5 Magic in battle)
- one (1) Blizzard Vow (charm; increases ice attack damage by 30 percent) all left behind when she went home
- one (1) pair yellow-framed fog-blocking glasses
- one (1) yellow and green scarf and one (1) cardigan ( Christmas gift from Yukari)
- from the January item rain: one (1) pair Hard Boots (weapon; grants +2 Strength) and about three (3) more outfits of Junes brand casual clothing, including at least one (1) pair of long pants also all left behind when she went home
• Chip status - still in, much to Chie's dismay.
• Deaths - None.
