Unlike the male protagonist or Megami Tensei protagonists in general, she is very bubbly, funny, upbeat and cheerful. She is a silent protagonist, as is the case with most Megami Tensei protagonists, although she does technically speak in battle (such as when she uses an item or summons a persona). It was an image contrasting the cool male protagonist against the bright and lively female protagonist, the player named P3 protagonist is meant to be the player's alter ego. Soejima drew this especially to pin facial expressions and atmosphere of the female protagonist. Soejima somehow came up with the design, he felt she was a protagonist people would come to love. It wasn't a problem limited to girls or boys, but with a protagonist, especially a juvenile protagonist, there will be a growth to adulthood and their personalities can not yet be solidified, the characterization of the heroine and the other characters will be different. It was very difficult to distinguish differences between a heroine and a female protagonist. Soejima had never drawn a female protagonist in his works. When Shigenori Soejima was asked to create a female protagonist, he thought it would be easy to draw her. When she was a young girl, she had short auburn hair down to her face, wore a red elementary school uniform, a red ribbon, dark red skirt, white socks and gray shoes. It is also said by Yukari that her ears are not pierced. She is never seen without her earphones except in several events where such accessories would not be appropriate, such as the following: the beach excursion in Yakushima (where she wears a pink ribbon bikini) the Summer Festival (if the player chooses to wear a yukata) the brief school trip in Kyoto (in which she wears a bathrobe) and the post-New Years celebration in the nearby Shrine (in which she wears an orange kimono and replaces the usual barrettes in her hair with pink and red flower barrettes). During the days off in the summer, she wears a short-sleeved orange shirt over a red-and-white striped spaghetti strap top, a white skirt and white sandals. In the summer, at Gekkoukan, she wears a white collared shirt, a red ribbon tie, her red MP3 player and the school skirt. On weekends and days off, she wears a red scarf, a light orange sweater, a red plaid skirt, black leggings and red boots (along with her earphones). Her favorite colors seem to be red and orange, as most of her outfits compose of the same color scheme.Īt school and at Tartarus, she wears Gekkoukan High School's winter uniform, which consists of a Gekkoukan high badge, a red ribbon tie, a neck strap MP3 player (same as the male protagonist but in the color red) and loafers. She has a pale complexion and striking red eyes (and longer lashes than the other characters, like Aigis). She is seemingly shorter than the default male protagonist. Since she's the polar opposite of the male protagonist, it would make sense for the male protagonist to be Fool 0 while the female is Fool 22. Kotone has auburn hair, which she always has in a high ponytail, along with silver barrettes which form the Roman numeral XXII (22), possibly referencing that the Fool Arcana is not only Arcana 0, but also Arcana 22 with the numbers increasing while going back to the first card after The World (Arcana 21). Her main weapon is a naginata that inflicts slash attacks. Her Persona Orpheus is gold, while his is a pale silver, her eyes are red, while his are blue, et cetera. Kotone Shiomi is the polar opposite of her male counterpart.
