Yoo-hooooo! Calling all Persona fans!

I'm sure there are fewer of you than there are Danganronpa fans, but that's okay, I'm glad you're here! And even if you're not familiar with Persona 5, but enjoy the series, you're more than welcome too!

Now in this series, things get a little heavier and deeper than the Danganronpa portion, especially now that the Ultimate Bully is gonna be more in the mix. This portion of the series is currently unfinished, so I'll post the parts I have and continue making new ones for this one and the UDG portion.

Naturally, there's a huge warning for spoilers. And the violence depicted in here isn't too graphic, but steer clear of that if you think it might make you feel uncomfortable. And the heavier chapters will have the warnings in the notes.

That's all for now. Hope you enjoy!

Akira Kurusu/Joker

When he first met you, he thought you were absolutely adorable
Your shyness and your slight childishness were so endearing
Not to mention that adorable plush of yours
Like him, you were a bit of an outcast at Shujin, but for a different reason
You were so shy and were often targeted by some really unkind people
Especially by a certain Ultimate Bully we know-
So he befriended you, and you quickly hit it off
But when the Phantom Thieves business started, things got interesting
You stumbled into Kamoshida's palace on accident
You were always afraid of him, and Akira tried to protect you, but was being held back by the Shadows
You could only stand there in complete terror as Kamoshida approached you with a creepy grin
Then, that bunny plush you held suddenly jumped out of your hands and grew bigger and bigger
It evolved into a large monster rabbit and it forced back all the shadows
Next thing you knew, a bunny mask suddenly appeared on your face, and you began suffering a migraine
You ripped the mask off your face, and your new persona turned to you and nodded
Then you destroyed the rest of the shadows
Akira watched with complete shock as this happened
Who knew you had a persona?
And after, you were just confused as he was
Morgana explained everything, and Akira was highly proud of you
Then with him, Ryuji, Ann and Morgana, you helped clear the rest of Kamoshida's palace

Ryuji Sakamoto

Oh he liked you right off the bat
Your personality and appearance, and particularly that adorable bunny plush all caught his eye
He talked to you whenever he got the chance
And you quickly became friends
And being friends with him also means being friends with Akira and Ann
And you weren't sure how, but you somehow ended up getting roped into the Kamoshida drama
Out of nowhere, your bunny plush started shaking and vibrating and boom! Palace
Ryuji hated seeing you so afraid, and he shouted curse words at Kamoshida while he was being pinned by a shadow
Then your bunny plush somehow changed into a persona, and a bunny mask appeared on your face
Then you took out the shadows with no problems
He just watched you like😮
Nevertheless, he's hella proud
Like damn, who knew you were such a badass?
Morgana explained everything to you, and Ryuji congratulated you
Then together, you helped clear Kamoshida's palace

Yusuke Kitagawa

He saw you a couple of times when you were with Akira
He was really curious about you
In place of painting Ann, he wants to paint you
But not nude this time-
He paints a wonderful masterpiece of you, but the real masterpiece was you
And he gets to see the real you in Madarame's palace
He watches in amazement as you awaken to your persona, and effortlessly wipe out the shadows
He awakens to his persona not long after, and he smiles at you while you fight together
He finds you really admirable, and he sees what a true masterpiece you really are

Goro Akechi

He had his eye on you the second he saw you
He met you when you were with Akira one time, and you quickly caught his attention
After that, he swore to talk to you the next time he saw you
When you were walking with Akira, Akechi came and struck up a conversation
Akira didn't wanna be late for class, so he told you bye and left
Akechi asked to meet at a coffee shop (can you guess which one?)
He really enjoyed talking to you, and you enjoyed his company as well
He was attracted to your cuteness, and you were attracted to his charm
A perfect match!
When he asked about your bunny, you told him about your grandmother, and he was just kind of shocked for a second
Turns out, he can actually relate to you
His mother raised him alone, and losing her made quite the impact on poor Akechi
He was sympathetic, and he told you about his mother
He saw you in a new light that day
Not only were you adorable, but you could actually understand him
He then asked you out, which you agreed to
Even if you're both busy during the day, he makes sure to meet you during the evening
Little does he know, you awakened to your persona and joined the Phantom Thieves while you were away from him
And little do you know, he is the cause of the mental shutdown cases...

Ann Takamaki

She always liked you
Every time she saw you, her heart swelled
You were just so damn cute!!
She especially loves your clothes and your plush rabbit
So naturally, you became best friends real quick
You were also helpful for her when she went through a stressful time with Kamoshida and her best friend Shiho
When she ended up in the palace, your bunny plush immediately brought you there, sensing your connection with her
You were terrified for her, which is what brought out your persona
You took out the shadows and broke her restraints, all while she stared at you in awe
She was hella confused, but she was also impressed and thankful for you
You protected her until she awakened to her persona as well
Now she admires you even more

Makoto Nijima

She couldn't help but be concerned for you
I mean, you were always bullied or stepped on so much because of your shyness
Did something happen to you?
So she keeps an eye on you, which eventually leads to you becoming friends and even more later on
You were there when she had her problems with Kaneshiro
Your equal fear and anger led to you awakening to your persona, and Makoto watched in shock
She watched the person she loved the most become a Phantom Thief right in front of her
She wasn't sure how to feel about it, but then she ended up getting one too, so...
Maybe the Phantom Thieves were alright after all
Especially since you and her were doing it together

Futaba Sakura

You actually met her after becoming a Phantom Thief
She briefly remembers you from her palace, and she remembers you being relatable to her
And surely enough, you were shy and socially awkward like she was
So you became friends real fast
She talked to you about her interests and listened to you talk about yours
You're the first of the Phantom Thieves for her to get used to
She wants you there with her while the others get to know her
And if you let her, she loves playing with your rabbit plush
She loves your cuteness and she can relate to your energy very much

Haru Okumura

She noticed you a couple times around Shujin
She wanted to talk to you, but never got a chance to
But you two didn't actually talk until she saw you in her father's palace, while she was hiding out as Beauty Thief
Once again, she just couldn't take her eyes off you
Then while the others were having their problems with Morgana, you two got a chance to talk
And she truly saw your bravery when she fought with you against her father
You really were admirable~
She then realized that she really liked you, loved you even
She enjoyed being with you much more than her dunce-face fiance
So once the marriage is called off, she asks you out
She can't wait to see you more

Sumire Yoshizawa

You were friends since she entered Shujin
Something about you just drew her to you
You formed a strong friendship that would be put to the test later on
She was there when you awakened to your persona in Maruki's palace
It just made her so confused and unsure of what to think
Which fueled her identity crisis even more
It was a lot, but then your feelings for each other were revealed
You were very helpful with helping her through this, and you helped her come to terms with who she was
Then she came back to Maruki's palace as Sumire, and you as her loyal partner
After the whole ordeal, you formed a relationship
She's very grateful for you, and she's looking forward to the future
