Personality

Tomboy, though a little dense sometimes. She has a bright and upbeat personality, often trying to cheer up the group by joking.

Background

Chie is a country girl, born and raised in the small town of Inaba, Japan. She's never really cared, or been all that excited about it. It's just how things are, as she would say. She's been best friends with Yukiko Amagi since they were children, and they've always spent a lot of time together. When Yosuke moved into Inaba fairly recently, it's assumed that he and Chie hit it off, since she had no qualms about lending him one of her most highly-recommended kung fu DVD's. In short, she lived a fairly average, tomboyish life.

(From here on her bio gets highly spoilerrific so just a warning if you wanted to play the game or see the show.)

[show details]

Things changed when Narukami Yu moved to town.

The transfer student was given a seat right next to Chie, and she was happy to introduce herself and Yukiko to him. It was Chie who informed Yu and the others about the Midnight Channel rumors: that if you look at a TV screen at midnight on a rainy evening, it would show the face of the person you're destined to fall in love with. The rumors ended up being true, to a point. It did indeed show a person, but it was a female news announcer. Chie wasn't quite sure what to make of this. The mystery deepened when the news announcer's body turned up later in Inaba, hanging from a television antenna. Soon, Chie, Yosuke, and Yu found themselves unofficially investigating the matter, particularly when Yu tried to tell them that he was almost pulled into his own TV. They went to the electronics department of the Junes store, where Yu proved he wasn't lying by sticking his entire head into the TV. Through a chance accident, all three of them fell into the television, winding up in a strange, fog-filled world that gave Chie the creeps. There, they discovered a strange and eerie room that appeared to be the place where the news announcer had spent her final moments. They also met a strange creature named Teddie, who accused them of being responsible for making the TV world noisy. He helped them get back home by unceremoniously shoving them into a stack of televisions.

When another schoolmate was seen on the Midnight Channel and subsequently went missing before her dead body appeared, they resolved to go back despite former reservations. Chie stayed behind this time, holding a rope that was tied to Yosuke in order to pull them back out. But to her horror, the rope snapped, and she was left alone to fret and worry about the worst. Eventually they emerged, and Chie yelled at them for causing her so much distress before rushing home. At this point, she wanted nothing more to do with that creepy world OR the midnight channel.

At least, that was the plan. Yukiko was the next to appear on the Midnight Channel. When Yukiko failed to turn up to school the next day, Chie panicked. They called her cell, but there was no answer. Chie was reassured when she managed to get hold of her through the main line of the hotel that Yukiko's family was running, and Yukiko replied that she was fine…just busy dealing with the media, since the hotel was the last place the news announcer had been staying before her disappearance and murder. Everything seemed fine, until a very strange and flirtatious Yukiko appeared on the Midnight Channel, claiming that she was hunting for her Prince Charming. Alarmed at the strange behavior, Chie and the others went back to the TV world in an attempt to find and save Yukiko before she became the third victim. Unable to remain calm, Chie rushed ahead of the others.

As Yu and Yosuke fought through the dungeon to not only find Yukiko, but now Chie as well, they finally came across…two Chies! Or rather, a frozen and confused Chie, and Chie's Shadow — a manifestation of Chie's darker personality traits, brought to life and confronting her about her faults. The Shadow revealed Chie's jealousy of Yukiko, of how Yukiko was always admired by the boys. It said she needed Yukiko to rely on her in order to feel any kind of self-worth. Chie violently rejected the Shadow, insisting "You're not me!" Her rejection angered the Shadow, overwhelming Chie and crippling her, leaving Yu and Yosuke to fight it off. Finally, when the battle was over, Chie was able to come to terms with her failings, and apologized to her Shadow self and accepted it. Her Shadow became her Persona, Tomoe, and with its help she was able to fight alongside the others with increased capability. Through their combined efforts, they were able to rescue Yukiko as well as help her gain a Persona of her own. By now, Chie and the others were committed to solving the mystery of just who was abducting people and trying to kill them by throwing them into the television.

One by one, they rescued the victims introduced to the TV world, and the party number of investigators gradually increased. The party's confidence was shaken when one of the murders suddenly broke the pattern, but when a certain detective made it clear that the mystery was far from solved, their resolution grew firm once more, and they found the inspiration they needed to see this case through to the end.

Persona 4 Arena

In her story mode at Persona 4 Arena, Chie is planning on becoming a police officer, following her decision in Persona 4, and while running by the riverbed she hears two students talking about the Midnight Channel. Concerned, she later calls Yosuke and they decide to watch the Midnight Channel that night, as rain was forecasted. There, she sees an introduction video to a fighting program called "P-1 Grandprix", featuring her and her other friends as the main fighters, a program that Teddie, oddly dressed as a General, seems to be in charge of. She is angered by the mocking title she is given, and after giving calls to Yosuke, Yukiko and Naoto they decide to meet up at Junes the next day (except Naoto, who appears to be too busy to make it. Thus, Chie decides to not tell her about the incident).

The following day she meets up with Yuu Narukami and the others at Junes, and they decide to enter the midnight channel. But upon crossing through the usual TV, they are separated and land at different locations.

She wakes up outside what seems to be Yasogami Highschool, though full of posters and cameras, wondering what was going on. At that moment, a TV screen turns on and Teddie (in General attire) greets the P-1 participants and tells them they have to fight each other to decide "who is the manliest of men". Rise serves as the show's commentator, and both of them show hostile behavior, much unlike them. Chie is confused, much more when her first opponent is Yosuke. She tries to speak with him, but Yosuke instead insults her and her dream of becoming a police officer. Not seeing another choice after Yosuke takes an offensive stance, they fight and Chie wins.

Yosuke wakes up after being defeated. Chie starts shouting at him for saying cruel things, but Yosuke does the same. Both of them are confused at this, as they don't remember saying anything to insult the other. In the end, they decide to continue to see what was really going on, but Yosuke is unable to pass through an invisible wall because of the tournament's rules, making him put his trust on Chie to solve the case and save their friends.

Chie keeps on going inside the building, fighting off Yuu and Yukiko, both of them saying cruel things about her true intentions and dreams, making her doubt herself more and more, until they turn to normal after being defeated. They all claim to have not said anything bad, and they end up sending her off, puting their trust in her just like Yosuke did. She also meets briefly a girl who claims to be student council president, but she runs off immideately.

At some point she sees a strange man wearing a cloak at a corridor. This man tries to punch an invisible wall, but upon seeing it's useless, he opens a window and jumps off. Chie, surprised, looks down and smells food at the distance. There are two choices here: One to jump down and follow the smell, or to keep going. The main story continues if the player decides to keep on going without forgeting about their objective.

Eventually she meets Teddie, fights him, believing him to be behind everything, but upon hearing his explination she decides to follow the Student Council President into the Announcement Room.

She'll catch up with the President, meeting Rise and the President. Chie reaches the conclusion that she is behind everything, as they new president is a guy, and tries to make her confess. But at that moment, what seems to be Chie's shadow appears and starts making her doubt her intentions and dreams again. With encouragement from her friends Chie manages to summon her Persona again and defeat her shadow.

Later, upon realizing that she used her Persona in the fight, something she shouldn't have been able to do, as Shadows and Personas are one being, General Teddie appears and reveals himself to be the President's Shadow. She created the tournament in order to make other experience that same thing she experienced in the past, being forced to fight her own friends. She makes the President take her real form, a metalic, robotic-like figure.

At that moment, the wall by their side suddenly breaks, an unconcious Kanji going through it after being punched by Sanada Akihiko, who is there to retrieve Labrys (refering to the President). Labrys is scared by this and runs off after remembering what she is, and her Shadow follows. Akihiko tells Chie to stay there, but Chie instead chases after Akihiko, leaving Kanji in Rise's hands.

They both enter the gym and are forced to fight by the tournament's rules. At first, Akihiko doesn't want Chie to get involved and explains he has an important and official mission, with the lives of many at stake, and his reasons surpass Chie's curiosity. But Chie answers she needs to catch up to Labrys because she needs to apologize for everything she said. That she wants to understand her and help her as a friend.

Akihiko is amazed, saying she reminds him of his friends. He proceeds to explain everything, about how he was member of a group in charge of eliminating Shadows in the real world, and that he came here with his friend Mitsuru Kirijo to retrieve Labrys, a sealed human looking weapon made to defeat Shadows. They decide to fight, as there is no other way to continue, and Chie wins. Akihiko acknowledges his defeat and puts his faith on Chie. Chie is cheered up by his words and pursuits Labrys to the Announcement Room again.

Labrys is unsure about her reasons, saying Chie only wants to retrieve her, as Akihiko said, and they are forced to fight. Labrys' Shadow appears and makes Labrys deny both of them being the same, gaining power and summoning a bull-looking Shadow. Chie fights them and wins, later talking with Labrys, telling her she is not angry, that she wants to help her and she needs to accept what she really is.

Labrys accepts her Shadow and gains her Persona. They all meet up with their friends at the roof, which seems to be the same studio they use to go back and forth from the TV world. Labrys is unsure at first because she thinks she'll be a nuisance because she is a robot, but is proven wrong by the Investigation Team. Akihiko, with Mitsuru and a girl named Aigis join them, and Mitsuru answers to Labrys fears saying she does not intend to lock her up again, making her smile.

But at that moment, Labrys suddenly stops moving, and another voice starts speaking through her. That voice seems to control Labrys and attacks the rest. They reach the conclussion that there is another person behind all this mess, a person that sees Labrys only as a tool. Chie is forced to fight Labrys and win, making the enemy withdraw. They all get out of the TV world and Mitsuru tells them to not get involved any further, not wanting them to get hurt.

The next day, she meets up with a recovered Labrys and Akihiko in front of Mitsuru's limousine. Chie now calls Akihiko Master, saying that they have similar objectives and dreams, and that he is the kind of person she wants to be. Akihiko seems annoyed at first with Chie calling him that, but later accepts it, even giving her advice, saying that a true man does not cry unless he loses his wallet. Chie entusiastically confirms this. Mitsuru comments Chie is not a man, but Akihiko says that a man's feeling goes past the boundaries of gender. Chie agrees with this.

She bids farewell to her new friend Labrys, that has decided to join Mitsuru into catching the man that did this. She meets up at Junes with her friends and they decide to keep on investigating on their own, following what they think is the best trail.

Last scene shows Chie writing a letter to her Master. She is having trouble choosing the right words, thanks him for his advice, because thanks to that she knows what to do, and decides to keep on writing later, as she is not good at it.

Hearing about Naoto going to join PARADIGM she decided to tag along with Naoto, rather enthusiastic to become a 'Defender of Justice." as she likes to put it. With this being said, Naoto insists that Chie brings all of her study work for becoming a police officer with her.

Powers & Merits

Grit and Determination: Chie will fight strong till her dieing breath if need be. She has gained alot of endurance through her training and while being the groups main tank in the events of Persona 4 till Kanji Tatsumi showed up.

Dragon Riser: One of Chie's few personal attacks, learned during the events of Persona 4 Arena. This is a high speed and high flying drop kick backed with the power of Chi. Though if one is careful they will notice that Tomoe is actually there just for a second to provide extra momentum.

Galactic Punt:Her follow up attack from Persona 4 and persona for Golden as well as her finisher in Arena. This is a heavy hitting upwards kick that does not only knock the enemy of there feet but sends them FLYING in almost cartoon like distances. Though it is hard to see, Tomoe is actually joining in for a second with the kick! Thus why it hits so hard.

Tomoe Gozen

Tomoe Gozen

• Name: Tomoe Gozen
• Type:Mainly Physical. Tomoe is a power house and secondary Tank, though her true role is pure damage output, Tomoe is a great front line fighter.
• Affects: Strength Defense Agility
• Resistances: Ice
• Weaknesses: Fire
• Special Abilities:
  • Enhanced Defense: Tomoe Gozen increases the user's defense, and allows them to survive other types of attacks normal humans could not. It is especially resilient against physical and ice attacks, but its defenses against its weaknesses are non-existent. The Persona itself, if summoned, takes heavy damage from those. (Gameplay Wise: The Persona user can take punishment that could kill an ordinary human and survive it. It does not give them invincibility or even resistance to those things, but like a Magical Girl, they can take 'general damage' instead of 'Bullet wound to the neck'. It provides NO defense against its weaknesses.)
  • Counter: IF Chie is attacked with a melee attack Tomoe might pop out to counter the attack! If Chie successfully dodges or blocks.
• Special Attacks:
  • Assault Dive: Instead of summoning next to Chie, Tomoe will summon above her target, falling at them with her weapon being spun like a buzzsaw or aimed down like a spear.
  • Gale Slash: Tomoe appears and flings her double bladed Naginata.!, the weapon boomerangs out at several enemies before returning. It can also target a single foe.
  • Bufu: Forms 3 large blocks of ice around the enemy which attempted to crush them.
  • Mabufu: A Spell that sends a wave of flash freezing ice crossed the ground at her enemies
  • Dragon Hustle: Her Allies' Defense, Agility and Attack power are all raised! (Temp +1 athletics)

• Spells: A Persona can use Tarot cards or other methods to learn spells. Each Persona has a number of 'slots' it can use to learn spells. Spells can be taught to the Persona then either upgraded to the next level, or replaced by an entirely different spell.

• History: Tomoe Gozen (トモエ, Tomoe) is the initial Persona for Chie Satonaka in Persona 4. Tomoe Gozen's design is reminiscent of the incredibly notable yellow and black jumpsuit worn by Bruce Lee in the movie "Game of Death." ) was a female samurai during the time of the Genpei War (1180-1185). After fighting in the Battle of Awazu, it is unclear what happened to her. Due to the number of stories of how her life went and the lack of proof of her existence, she has become a thing of legends.
