Character Name: Yukiko Amagi Series: Shin Megami Tensai: Persona 4 Timeline: Post True End Canon Resource Links:Wikia.
Personality:
At the beginning of the game, Yukiko is shown as a very quiet, reserved young girl. Other than her best friend, Chie, she does not seem to mingle with others at school that much - especially the boys there. Despite this, she is rather popular amongst the opposite sex at school, and is asked out more often than not. This even resulted in the 'Amagi Challenge' being a code phrase for someone actually going to do just that. A lot of the time she is not aware of this, however, as Chie usually has to point out that this is the case. After hanging out with the protagonist and Yosuke, however, she grows more accustomed to being around boys who are at least friends.
She is the heir to a family business; the inn is Inaba's 'treasure' and she is expected to take over when her mother retires. However, it becomes obvious that Yukiko hates this as she has no say in her life. In Yukiko's dungeon - a castle that her mind has 'created' in the TV world - she faces her shadow. This shadow, or her other self, is honest about how she wants to run away from her problems. It confesses Yukiko's inner feelings of the fact that she wanted a 'Prince' to save her, for Chie to save her so she didn't have to deal with it on her own. She admits that she felt like a caged bird in that her decisions are made for her and that made her feel angry and helpless. After the Investigation Team defeat her shadow, however, Yukiko admits that these feelings are real. Like the others in the Investigation Team she feels it is her job to solve the case and stop the murders from occurs because of her ability to use a persona. In this regard, she is determined and eager to do her job properly. She feels as though this ability gives her a purpose, and until she starts to gain some idea of 'herself', this is the only thing that seems to give her any direction in life.
While Yukiko is usually a very calm and gentle person, there are times when her temper can get the better of her and she can say something cruel. These instances are few and far between, but they occur often enough to be mentioned. Similar to this, she can be manipulative, especially as a counter attack for something someone says to her. She can be overly competitive too, especially when her pride is at state. She tells Rise "I'll crush you with one strike" during the 'Iron Cook Inaba' challenge where the three girls, Yukiko, Rise and Chie, decide to battle it out to see who cooks the best omelette and fried rice. Even if this is the case, if she does offend someone more than she means to, she will be quick to apologise if she is in the wrong. She is not ashamed to say she's wrong if she is, unless it's about her cooking or something similar; in other words, unless it is something she is in denial about.
Even when the situation is dire throughout the game, she can still laugh about the silliest of things - a lot of the time Teddie's puns included. Her strange sense of humour stands out, and often enough makes her friends end up having to sigh and wait until a burst of laughter has stopped. She cares about her friends greatly, especially as she gets closer to them after they save her from the other world. She is very protective of her friends of family, and can shout out against anyone who says something offensive about them. She does have a habit of depending on others more than she should, Chie especially, however she does slowly start to become more independent and by the end of the game can stand strongly on her own without needing to ask for help.
Strengths/Weaknesses: Strength+1/Weakness+1: Yukiko is a relatively strong person, yet she does tend to rely and depend on Chie, her best friend, more often than not too. Strength+2/Weakness+2: She can be really naive about things.
Strength+3: Yukiko is good with studying. She has a brilliant level of intelligence and does well in exams and tests. Strength+4: She has very good manners and is very friendly with people she knows. Strength+5: She is very loyal towards her friends and family; this is in particular with the investigation team and her friends who work at her family inn. Strength+6: She's very calm and rational. Strength+7: She's responsible and very grown up for her age, which is shown by her dependability and her ability to seek out knowledge and help for things she wants.
Weakness+3: In the beginning she would solely depend on Chie. Weakness+4: She can have a bit of a mean streak, especially when angered/annoyed. Weakness+5: Terrible sense of humour, seriously. Weakness+6: She struggles to open up to people, at least until she joins the investigation team after her dungeon. Weakness+7: She is really bad at cooking, usually it tastes really bland.

Samples First Person Sample: [The video starts with Yukiko outside Mom’s House. She’s not cradling a Vulpix like she had last time, nor does she actually look too confused because of where she is--it’s more how she doesn’t understand how she forgot this place to begin with. If anything, the knowledge that she returned home, ended up finishing things up there and came back, is more alarming than being here to begin with. At least her purpose is finally complete, however, and those things the other members of the Investigation Team told her about make sense now.
She’s seen the truth now, seen what was causing everything in her own world.]
Souji-kun? ...Chie? Anyone? [She pauses, hesitant. The last time she had been here, Chie had left. She isn’t sure if Souji will even be there anymore either, but she won’t know without asking. She’s strong enough now to do that.] Are you still here?
[She pauses again, reaching out to pet the new pokémon she’s been equipped with. The screen tilts with her, revealing a new and adorable Phanpy at her feet--still unnamed.]
Let me know as soon as possible, and I’ll make my way towards Goldenrod City. [She’s much more determined this time, much less frightened.
Yukiko is angry, especially if her disappearance has upset someone again.]
Third Person Sample:
As soon as she awoke in her bed--only it wasn’t really her bed--Yukiko rushed outside. She spared a moment to pick up her backpack, her lunch from ‘Mom’, as well as her new starter Pokémon, but she had to make sure this wasn’t a dream. She’d already checked the time on her device, the date-- and the panic over how long she’d been gone from this world was enough to make sure she did hurry. She was still cautious, however, especially as the talk came again. All the other people nearby didn’t know of this place, from what she could tell, but she also remembered people on the network talking about how some people do go home and come back... people who keep their memories. Chie had said it herself, Yukiko had come and gone three times before she had arrived that last time, but all those other times she had forgotten this place.
Forgotten the people here.
Would they even still be there?
After quickly sending out a network message she took a seat in the centre of New Bark Town, letting out the new starter she had been given. Phanpy seemed to almost squeak it’s name at her, wriggling around her on the floor. It wasn’t the pokémon’s fault she had left, however, so with a gentle smile she lowered her arms to pull it up, bringing it to her lap.
“Oh, I’m sorry if I startled you.” It nuzzled into her hand as she sighed, looking a little depressed. “It’s alright, I know it’s not your fault.”
At least the pokémon seemed to understand her, something Yukiko was rather pleased about. She wasn’t alone in this, even if the others had gone home. “Are you hungry?” She reached for the backpack she’d brushed aside. “There should be some food in here, if you are.”
