hugtopia.
Age: 18.
Background Information: Wiki. As for her CRAU info, Ann spent 8 months in a game called Tabula Rasa, and a year in Hugtopia which is where I plan on taking her from (Tabula Rasa will not be referenced ICly, I just wanted to mention it here on the app). In the year she was in Hugtopia, she had to learn to adapt to life without her friends, and had to make a new posse. She also had to learn how to adapt to not being able to access her Persona, and to use her brain over her brawn in order to get things done... mostly because violence was a big no no.
Personality: Trigger Warning: Mentions of suicide and sexual harassment/assault of a minor mentioned. Also a warning for Persona 5: Strikers spoilers.
Ann Takamaki can be described as someone who is bubbly and bright, full of kindness and compassion for those around her. Though she was a lonely girl for many years due to being shunned for her looks, one would not be able to tell that this was ever even a thing she had to deal with. Despite her prior isolation and loneliness, she's pushed past all of that due to the friendship she's forged with her best friend, Shiho Suzui. It is due to that friendship that Ann learned to ignore the opinion of others, and to also not be so quick to listen to rumors about anyone else. Other than Shiho, she lived a fairly lonely existence: her parents did not live in Japan. Being fashion designers, they traveled the world, and were rarely home.
This being said, Ann is also fiercely loyal to those who she is able to befriend. She even goes so far as to agree to see and potentially "go out" with Suguru Kamoshida, her school's gym teacher/volleyball coach, in order to make sure that Shiho remained the starter on their school's volleyball team. This leads to nasty rumors that she is dating and "getting it on" with the teacher, rumors that he does not confirm or deny.
At the beginning of the story, because of this, she doesn't seem like she's a very strong person. She briefly allows Kamoshida to walk all over her, telling herself it's all for Shiho's sake, but this changes after she meets the Protagonist. A good judge of character, Ann is able to see right through the rumors swirling around the Protag -- before they even really talk, she confronts both he and Ryuji Sakamoto, warning them to stay out of Kamoshida's way. The trio aren't friends yet, but even then she was concerned that they'd get themselves kicked out of school because of their reputations and the rumors swirling about them.
After finally being caught red handed on the phone in an argument with Kamoshida by the Protag, he gets her to confess about the harassment from Kamoshida. It is here that she is finally seen breaking and wearing her heart on her sleeve. She even admits to him that she didn't believe the rumors about him, that instead she believed him to be very similar to her: a lonely person just trying to find their place in the world.
Ann also leads a double life -- while she is a student and part time model by day, she is a Phantom Thief by night. After awakening her Persona, Carmen, she became the third member of the Phantom Thieves, giving herself the code name Panther. As Panther, Ann is energetic and lively, and very confident and more sure of herself than she is in the real world. This is partly due to the fact that Carmen is an extension of her true self -- full of passion and life. Carmen was awakened due to finally snapping after Kamoshida admitted that Shiho "took her place", so to speak, after Ann rejected his advances. It finally sparked the will of rebellion within her, which in turn allowed Carmen to come out and forge a contract with her.
After the Kamoshida incident was done and over with, Ann had a change of heart of her own. To never stand by idly and watch while someone, herself included, was being abused or hurt. She has a strong desire to help those in need, never wanting to go back to the way she once was.
While somewhat withdrawn, Ann is able to open up to those closest to her, though she will not go out of her way to talk about her problems unless pressed. She is happiest to focus on someone else's problems before her own, another way she is similar to the Protagonist. She's also not afraid to pipe up if something displeases her, and she tends to be very passionate about things. If you choose to woo her in the game, during one scene, she will blurt out 'I love you' to the Protagonist, and then quickly follow that up loudly by declaring she meant what she said, and she wasn't going to take it back. In this regard, she could be described as extremely determined when it comes down to it.
Her confidence in the Metaverse does not always transfer back into the real world. Though she is confident in some things, she does tend to get a little flustered when overwhelmed, which can cause her to freeze up. During the school festival in Persona 5/P5Royal, if you choose to hang out with her, she'll be called up on stage against her will and asked a bunch of questions, eventually needing to be bailed out because she can't spit out an answer. It is also well known among her small circle of friends that she is a terrible actress. That being said, she is working on her confidence, and now, six months after the events of Persona 5, she walks a little taller and is far more sure of herself than before, even if, at times, she does falter and fall back on old tendencies.
Her determination also knows no bounds -- in Persona 5: Strikers, during the first Jail in Shibuya, she is driven to save the Monarch, Alice, no matter what it takes. She sees Alice as an equal, because she knows that had she never met the Phantom Thieves and befriended them, she'd probably end up just like Alice: cold, hateful, full of spite and rage for the world around her. Seeing Alice made her realize very quickly that without her friends, she, too, likely could have ended up a Palace ruler or a Jail Monarch. Even after Alice is saved and has a change of heart, Ann is fully devote to befriending her and helping her out both in her career and in her personal life, because she knows that if the other girl has at least one good friend at her side, she'll be stronger for it.
Abilities & Inventory: Ann is a Persona user; specifically, she is a founding member of the Phantom Thieves of Hearts, and while donned in her Phantom Thief attire, she goes by the code name Panther. Her Persona, Carmen, has fire based attacks that are listed within that Wiki. Ann also has wicked skills with a whip, and can wield several other weapons including a sub machine gun, knives, and her own two fists for up close and personal combat.
Regarding Carmen, her abilities will include:
· Maragion: 16 SP. Medium fire damage to a wide area of foes. Rare chance of burn.
· Fire Boost: Auto. Strengthens fire attacks by 25%.
· Diarama: 16 SP. Restore medium amount of HP to 1 ally.
· Burn Boost: Auto. Enhance chance of inflicting Burn status.
· Dodge Ice: Auto. Double evasion chance against Ice attacks.
· Soul Thief: Auto. Attacks will drain SP from foes afflicted by ailments.
For her b>Inventory, Ann will be arriving with a toy gun, her cell phone [which does not work], her whip (only as Panther), and the clothes on her back.
Suitability & Plans: I think that Ann can and will thrive in this game, assuming that I get in. I absolutely love cross canon CR, it's my favorite in fact, and this game offers a whole plethora of different characters from all walks of life. But I'm not the only one who enjoys it, because Ann does, too. She didn't have a whole lot of friends canonly at home, save for the Phantom Thieves, and so for her, a setting like this gives her the opportunity to meet and befriend as many people as she can. Despite being a little on the withdrawn side of things in her past, she very much enjoys being around people now.
I guess the tl;dr of it all is that I've had a fun time on the TDM and I'm dying to expand on the CR she's getting there, plus add a ton more in the coming months!
Test Drive Sample: Sample I'd like to add here, that the header says Persona 5 Royal/Strikers but I was informed that it had to be one or the other, so to clarify, she will not have her memories of Royal but instead the Vanilla version.
