Description: Rise Kujikawa is a first-year student at Yasogami High and a former national idol known as "Risette." Exhausted by the fake world of showbiz where she felt like a manufactured product with no soul, she moved to the quiet town of Inaba to live with her grandmother and find her true self. She serves as the Investigation Team's Navigator, using her Persona, Himiko, to analyze enemies and provide tactical support.

While she presents a cheerful, energetic, and flirtatious exterior, this is often a mask to cover her deep-seated insecurity: she fears that without the "Risette" persona, the real Rise is boring and unlovable. She clings to the protagonist ("Senpai") because he saved her from her Shadow—a manifestation of her repressed desire to be seen—and accepted her anyway. Unlike her aggressive Shadow self, the real Rise is a romantic teenage girl who uses teasing and playfulness to test the waters, desperately hoping for a connection where she doesn't have to perform. She is the most emotionally intelligent member of the team, often reading the mood and others' feelings instantly, but she struggles to be honest about her own vulnerability.
