Metis

Name: Metis Also known as: Intruder, Aigis' Sister, Li'l Sis Appearance: Metis appears to be a humanoid android and a model of Anti-Shadow Suppression Weapon. Attached to her head is a golden helmet-like headpiece with a red butterfly visor, and around her waist is a metallic "skirt" which continues the red butterfly motif. Being an android, her body is mostly mechanical, but outside of the skirt, more internal parts around her waist area are covered by plating. Her skin is very pale compared to the more beige, humanlike skin. Metis has purplish black hair with red eyes. Her armored body is black, though the right arm with which she carries her weapon is white, making it almost resemble a long, extended glove. Despite being affiliated with SEES, she does not bear an armband. Personality: Metis has a childlike personality, to the point of being compared to a child by Junpei, something she takes offense to. She recognizes Aigis as her "sister," and as a result tries to protect her from harm. She cares for Aigis deeply and is willing to do anything to protect her, even if it means she'll hate her for it. This is shown when she attempted to kill the other members of SEES, whom she believed (correctly) were responsible for the Abyss of Time's manifestation. She also gets angry when Akihiko suspects her of having an ulterior motive for protecting Aigis, insisting that she's doing it because she cares about her and nothing more. In the beginning, Metis is quite rude and even shows some slight entitlement issues, as she fully expects the group to trust her and follow her blindly into the Abyss, apparently not realizing they have every reason not to trust her since she first appeared to them as an enemy. After they threaten to explore the Abyss without her, however, she apologizes and is accepted into SEES at the approval of Aigis, who allows Metis to call her 'sister.' She also agrees not to hurt the others at Aigis' request, though she still remains rather indifferent to them, and they in turn remain hostile towards her, especially Akihiko, who fully expects her to turn on them again at any time. Although she usually acts like a child, Metis is frequently shown to actually be very intelligent; she is the one who figures out how the Abyss came to be, guessing correctly that the rest of SEES played a part in it - in particular, she realizes that ??? was formed from SEES' regrets prior to learning that the protagonist did not merely leave but is in fact dead. She also knows that Personas and Shadows are one and the same, something the rest of SEES never realized despite fighting them for months (or, in some case, years), likely due to Shuji Ikutsuki deliberately giving them incomplete or incorrect information. Finally, she figured out that Nyx is neither hostile nor malevolent and that there must have been some other reason for the Seal. This fits with her Arcana being the Hierophant, a figure that interprets sacred mysteries or esoteric/obscure principles. Metis does not comprehend human emotions very well. This leads her to often question why the members of SEES care about certain people and things, such as the protagonist and his sacrifice. She also does not understand aspects of their behavior, especially around her, which she considers illogical as she does not understand the feelings which those behaviors are spurred by despite her attempts to ask them about it. Metis can also be quite insecure. Being a new member of SEES, she doesn't know about the rest of the group's shared past and feels lost whenever they talk about it. Junpei claims that she's lonely, which is why she feared that they would leave her behind. Indeed, Metis is shown frequently to hate being alone, which is why she panicked when the group suggested exploring the Abyss of Time without her and begged them not to leave her behind. This is due to the fact that she has no memory of who she is, only that Aigis is her sister and that she has to protect her. Being the embodiment of Aigis' rejected emotions, Metis is very similar to her in some ways; they're both hostile to those they perceive a threat, have attachment issues and overprotective to those close to them. However, Metis is more outspoken of what she thinks when compared to her "sister," and overall just more emotional. Aigis even notes at one point that she reminds her of so many things she thought she had left behind. Once everyone begins fighting for the keys, Metis sides with Aigis and claims that she was created to facilitate the fighting, returning to her previous hostility toward the rest of SEES, but at the cost of Aigis' trust. After the conflict between the group is resolved, Metis feels guilty over causing so much trouble, and so fully expects the rest of SEES to leave her behind. However, the rest of the group assure her that they brought the fighting upon themselves and Aigis forgives her, reminding her that she promised she wouldn't leave her behind. The two sisters then reconcile, with Metis shedding tears of joy.
