Persona 5 makoto
She also has a ton of repressed anger issues over being made to stand on a pedestal by adults who don't follow the same standards themselves, and as such has the worst temper of the group bar none, to the point that even Ryuji, who's quite short-tempered himself, often warns the others not to get on her bad side. Makoto is also something of a tsundere while she's mostly a kind person, she can also be very bossy and is harshly critical of those who don't live up to her expectations, particularly Ryuji, whose case she constantly gets on due to his consistently nonchalant approach to school life, implying that she's a perfectionist. After the group defeat Kaneshiro, Makoto decides to stay with the Phantom Thieves, saying that she's done being the "exemplary honour student" and that she's going to try to be more honest with herself.Īlthough she appears prim and proper on the surface, Makoto is actually more of a tomboy she's trained in aikido (though she's never seen using it onscreen), enjoys violent action movies, never wears skirts other than her school uniform (which she wears leggings under) and seems to care little about fashion other than the headband she wears in her hair. Her submissive nature is noted by Akechi, who condescendingly refers to her as "the good-girl type of pushover." After getting involved with the Phantom Thieves, however, Makoto realizes her frustration at the authority figures around her not living up to the expectations they've set for themselves and vows from then on to fight for what she believes in, which triggers the awakening of her Persona. Feeling overshadowed by her highly successful older sister, Makoto has almost no sense of self-worth, and so has made a habit of keeping her nose down and doing what is expected of her. In truth, Makoto holds no real authority in the school, with her position merely making her a glorified tool for the principal to use however he sees fit. In truth, Makoto was livid about the abuse but didn't feel like she had the power to do anything about it. While she does give off the impression of this during the Phantom Thieves' first few encounters with her, these rumors are ultimately revealed to be just that: rumors. She also wears a red scarf that matches her gloves, and a chain attached to her black belt.ĭespite being the student council president, Makoto is an extremely unpopular student at Shujin Academy due to her not doing anything to stop Suguru Kamoshida's abuse, she is considered by all the students to be an arrogant and selfish girl as well as a control freak who knew about the abuse but chose to do nothing about it because she only cared about getting a good letter of recommendation. In Persona 5: Dancing in Starlight, she retains her Shujin Academy school uniform except she wears a dark grey tatter shirt with stitches and black splatter pattern design, thigh high stockings attached to her skirt by garters on the front, and maroon high-top sneaker boots. Her Metaverse outfit consists of a two-toned (dark blue and black) skintight suit that is worn with a long black scarf, a dark gray corset-style leather breastplate, shoulder and knee pads with spikes mixed with boots that sport metal heels and toes, white gloves, and an iron mask. Her summer casual clothes consists of a white dress blouse with a black belt, black capris similar to the leggings from her summer school uniform attire, and black low-heeled Mary Jane shoes. Her winter casual clothes consist of a black turtleneck shirt under a teal blue coat, with tight black pants and brown-tan knee-high boots. Under the regulation skirt, she wears capri-length black leggings and black tassel loafers with no socks. She wears a white dress shirt with the High Priestess emblem ("BJ") embroidered on the collar instead of a normal polo shirt. She wears the regulation black and red pleated plaid skirt, black pantyhose and black-brown ankle boots. Instead, she wears a black halter vest over a long-sleeve white shirt with a turtleneck (which is different from normal turtlenecks for female students). Her winter school's uniform appears normal but without the standard blazer. She is of average female height, being taller than Futaba and Haru but slightly shorter than Ann. Her eyes are abnormal as they have been depicted as red, although her eye color in her portraits can be interpreted as a reddish-brown. Makoto has brown hair in a bob cut with blunt bangs and a French-braid styled headband that matches her hair color.
