Background Info:
History: Here's a link for ya
Personality: What do we know about Yu Narukami? Well, first off, we can look at his stat screen. Courage represents how willing he is to face different issues, be it from a physical or mental standpoint. Diligence shows that Narukami is a hard working type of person, preferring to actually do something than just sit around twiddling his thumbs. Knowledge represents the fact that Narukami gets smarter, as your usual human being. Expression shows just how far Narukami is willing to go to express himself, so that’s somewhat self-explanatory. Finally, Understanding represents how Narukami is able to understand others, and how comforting he can be depending upon how close he is to the person. Getting down to the nitty gritty of a silent protagonist, however, is a bit tricky. These stats and his responses are pretty common and don’t exactly give us a good depiction of his personality. However, this is where the anime comes in.
Narukami is a very kind sort of person, using his manners in every situation and deciding only to speak up when he feels it’s necessary. He seems to have a permanent lineface about him, claiming that he’s “crying” with a neutral face, and making jokes that others seem to find unconvincing due to his expression at the time. Most of the jokes, granted, are just odd anyways. Yu is sort of quirky and doesn’t seem like the kind of person willing to speak up in a situation, which means that he can easily be taken advantage of. He’s the guy who is dragged along everywhere with his friends and forced into uncomfortable situations. He’s a perceptive individual, able to spot very small details about a person and able to tell how they’re feeling pretty well. He’s also comforting, but in a dry sort of way. He’s willing to be kind to a person but not exactly the best person to use a crutch. He also seems to be completely oblivious to a few things, so trying to get him as a boyfriend would be a bad idea.
Narukami is also naïve. Very naïve. He also seems to be a bit sarcastic in certain situations and won’t miss the opportunity to tease someone. In the end though, it’s all in good fun, and besides the traits mentioned Yu is a pretty normal chap. Yu values his friendship higher than most things in life, and it is each Social Link he gains that assists him both in battle and through life. His family and friends are the most important things to him, and if you mess with them then you’re going to be able to irritate him. A more comedic side to Narukami’s personality is that he can get too “into the moment”, having punched Yosuke when fighting Yosuke’s Shadow and having swiped his hand forward to command his Persona despite having not done it before. Narukami also seems to be a bit concealed about his sexuality, having been willing to kill Kanji’s Shadow instantly just because he flirted with him, and completely collapsing due to one grope.
The scariest side to Narukami has to be his anger. Narukami isn’t the type of person to scream and rant and rave and completely lose himself. Instead, he grows very cold and very calm, to the point that he’s calmer than usual. He will speak coldly and focus on nothing more than his source of anger at the time. It is impossible to get Narukami into this situation, unless you mess with the two things above. At the same time, if Narukami feels an emotion hard enough, it will spill out. This was the case when he broke down crying over Nanako, unable to hold it in any longer. Narukami seems to have taken the revelation of Persona and the TV World in stride, which showed a side to him that finds most abnormalities pretty common despite his normal life prior to the Midnight Channel. Nothing much can surprise Narukami anymore, though he still wonders why so many people in his life do such weird things. All in all, Narukami is a very interesting individual who tries to live his life and, while initially having rejected friendship due to constantly moving, now understands the true importance of the friends that he gained during his stay in Inaba.
Game Specific:
Arcana: Fool
Justification: It's his canon Arcana.
Samples:
First Person Sample: Everything here!
Third Person Sample: The defeat of Izanami was still fresh on the Protagonist’s mind, as he stared out the window listlessly. A hand was propped his chin up, placed directly down upon its palm and his gray eyes seemed a bit distant. He was lost in thought, and his mind was still upon the scene on his TV that disturbed him. It was easy enough to simply chalk Teddie’s differences up to it being a Shadow version of him… But the threat of Shadows should have disappeared, as should have the Midnight Channel after Izanami’s defeat. The fact that the Shadows, Midnight Channel, and fog had all returned had prompted Yu to once again return to the town of Inaba. Trying to enter the Midnight Channel from his TV in his home town would have been a mistake, and he may have ended up trapped in some foreign world he wasn’t too fond of. As a light bump caused Yu to slightly hop up out of his seat, he started to remember the first time he had been on the train. A short glance was made to look up at his black suitcase above him, reminding him of his first visit to Yasoinaba. It had been two months since his return, and he was anxious to see his friends again. All of the friendships he made, and all the memories he held hadn’t disappeared in those two months, though Yu had never expected he would return to Inaba so soon. It was both a gift and a curse. A gift that he was going to be able to see everyone again… And a curse that another mystery was plaguing the usually quiet town.
As the train continued on its way toward Yasoinaba, the sun hung itself high in the sky. Yu had decided to plan his trip so that he would end up in Yasoinaba sometime in the afternoon, having gotten up extra early just for that occasion. He hadn’t informed his uncle, Ryotaro Dojima, of the reason as to why he was returning but it didn’t seem like he was complaining too much. Yu was just as happy as he expected his uncle to be that he was going to see his family once again. Maybe even Nanako would still be clinging to her wishes of marrying him. She was young and Yu felt she didn’t truly understand the whole concept, which caused a very light smile to strike his face as he gazed toward the soft sun. Of course, the memories that he held of Inaba couldn’t all be happy ones. He still remembered the issues with Namatame and Adachi, and how they were used so easily as mere puppets in the same way Yu had been used. But, Yu had prevailed and hadn’t Izanami promised to leave humanity as it was? The whole issue with the Midnight Channel’s return and Shadows would have to wait for now. First, Yu had to get settled in once again with the Dojimas. Once he had completed that task, he would have to see just how many members of the Investigation Team he could round up again. It wouldn’t be an easy task, but Yu had a hunch that a few of them may know far more about the situation than him. Teddie had been just as much a friend of them as he was to Yu, and Yu assumed that the rest of the Investigation Team would be just as worried about him as he was.
The light ‘hissss’ of the train wheels as they made their stop jostled Yu from his thoughts, and he took the time to look around at the other occupants of the train. While he hadn’t noticed it at first, it didn’t seem like there were a lot of occupants on the train in the first place. Just like the first time he arrived in Yasoinaba, it seemed he would be the only one getting off at the stop. Slipping up from his train seat, Yu quickly gathered his suitcase from the top area and stepped out of the opening doors. It was with this moment that Yu was able to take in the familiar sight of the rural town. A smile caught his face only lightly before it faded, and Yu’s eyes gazed from one side to the next before extending forth. He expected Dojima to be standing right there like old times, and Nanako hiding behind him and blushing. Neither sight caught his gaze, though this was to be expected. After all, Ryotaro Dojima was still a detective and with the odd return of the Midnight Channel and Shadows, Yu had no doubt in his mind that this would attract his attention. Gripping onto his suitcase and standing there, Yu took a deep breath in and out. The rural air compared to the city air was cleaner, nicer, and it seemed a lot quieter in Yasoinaba since his previous stay. As he awaited his Uncle to arrive, Yu closed his eyes, and took everything in about the town of Inaba that he had missed these past two months. The air, the sounds and the memories…
