Persona 2: Eternal PunishmentCharacter Age: 20
Canon: The streets of Sumaru City are abuzz with rumors about the recent string of grizzly murders plaguing the town. Is it really the work of the JOKER, the demon-user that's supposed to appear and kill your enemies if you call your own phone number? Well... yes. For better or for worse, rumors in Sumaru City have a habit of coming true, and an evil cult has every intention of taking advantage of that. Standing against them is a small group of persona-users, people with the ability to summon manifestations of their inner selves. To help with their fight, they spread a rumor about a person who can give them information they need. That woman is Kirishima Eriko, Ellie for short. Ellie, a college student and part-time model, has been a persona-user since she was in high school, when her hometown was suddenly encased in an fabulous rainbow-coloured barrier and the dead rose from their graves. Now she's investigating Miss Cleo the popular television fortune-teller Ishigami Chizuru, who turns out to be a member of a certain cult...
Ellie acts friendly and flirtatious, sometimes to the point that she seems shallow. This is partly an act she puts on because she has a hard time being herself, although she's trying to change that; one day, she wants to be able to smile naturally with her friends. There's one thing that can make her forget all about being awkward, however: she absolutely loves all things supernatural and occult, and will happily fangirl about it at inappropriate times. When her persona first manifested, she immediately jumped to the conclusion that she was a reincarnated goddess and swore to protect her friends, and was almost disappointed to learn that her friends were also "chosen".

So this is the Cursed Forest of Unrestful Darkness, the mysterious labyrinth so fiendishly clever that even the dead can't escape it! Until now, that is. Everyone, you don't need to worry anymore; I'm here to save you! ♥ You can trust me, I have tons of experience with zombies and mysterious barriers. Although the last one I saw was a lot more... colourful. I think yours needs a new paint job.
But first, I have to take a look around this place! I mean, wow! This is so cool! As soon as I arrived, the aura changed instantly... Even though there's a barrier, I didn't expect the change to be so abrupt. Was I spatially displaced, as well? That could explain why it's undetectable from the outside... Anyway, I had barely been here for five minutes before I was accosted by a moving tree! And when I say "accosted", well... It's not like I'm not used to that kind of attention, but my fans normally keep their wood where I can't see it. ♥
But that doesn't mean it had a bad heart! You have to remember, spirits and other supernatural creatures don't think the same way we do. That's why it's important to try to understand their point of view. Did you know, most cases of "angry hauntings" and "vengeful ghosts" are actually just big misunderstandings? It's because we humans didn't make a proper effort to communicate! Just look at your own underwear tree! It's most likely the work of a ghost who died while wearing dirty underwear, and now it's kindly trying to prevent that from happening to anyone else. So you see, even though we might think it's odd, she's just trying to perform an act of kindness. If anyone tried to get her to leave or wanted to exorcise her, of course she'll fight to protect herself! So just be grateful for her kind gifts, and let her stay here, okay?
Hey, what's that smoke? Is that... a volcano!? In a swamp? There must be something supernatural there, I need to get up there and have a look. Hey, you! Stop trying to re-attach your nose and come here for a moment. Can you tell me how I can get to the top of the volcano? Is there a lift or something? Great, please show me to it! Um... Hello? Did you hear me? Why are you moaning like that, what are you... Oh. That's a lot of zombies. Are they your friends? I'm not sure I like the look of these guys-- whoa! Put me down! Y-you know, girls don't like pushy guys...! If this is the alternative, I think I'd rather climb. And what's that weird chanting--
Hey! No! I didn't say I wanted to see the inside!
