Tomoko Noge

Tomoko is an eighteen year old girl with black hair worn in pigtails with pink hair ties. She has gray eyes and black rectangular glasses. She wears a pink cardigan over her school uniform. She’s five feet and one inch tall, and weighs a mere one hundred and fifteen pounds. As Moko, she wears a pink and dark violet puffy-sleeved outfit with faulds and tassets, steel-toe thigh-high boots, a twin-tailed cape, a bycocket with a feather in the cap, and a dark magenta mask with silver and gold accents. She uses twin swords and a bow and arrow as her weapons of choice. Her persona is Prosymna. In Greek mythology, Prosymna is the daughter of Asterion, the river god, and the sister of Acraea and Euboea. She, along with her sisters, was the nurse of Hera.

Tomoko is a second-year student at Kokatsu Academy and Motoha Arai's best friend. She first meets the protagonist when he picks up her pass holder from the train and later asks Motoha to talk to the protagonist for her, though denies having a crush on him, at least at that point.

While preparing to try out for the starting line-up on the school's baseball team, Tomoko is pushed onto the train tracks one morning by Takeyuki Kiuchi and has her shoulder injured, saving Motoha from the attack.

Tomoko’s personality is rather simple. She’s a shy girl, often staying out of conflict and blending into the background. Not many people tend to notice her, but that’s just how she likes it.

When Tomoko was younger, she played in little league softball, and though she was never good as her best friend, Motoha, she enjoyed the sport immensely and had plans to continue playing all throughout her high school life, possibly beyond that too. When she has free time, Tomoko’s hobbies include observation, such as watching birds, seeing new landscapes, and traveling to new places in the city. She also enjoys working various part-time and odd jobs, such as cashier and busboy.

The setting is in the video game world of Persona 5, where another world known as the Metaverse exists beyond reality, and only certain people are able to traverse there via their smartphone app called the Metaverse Navigator. When people awaken to the will of their rebellion, they summon their persona, a manifestation of their true self. Persona’s can be anything, mythological figures, historical figures, and anything that truly represents a person. In the Metaverse are monsters called shadows, which are human emotions that were pushed aside and bottled up by real people. These emotions become violent and attack people there. When a person in the real world is evil and corrupt, a palace shows up in the Metaverse, which can look like anything that represents an evil persons twisted desires, whether that be a casino, car wash, school, baseball park, or anything else. When a manifestation of their desires inside the palaces are stolen, their treasure, they change in the real world, becoming good and admitting to their wrongdoings. The Phantom Thieves are a vigilante group who change people’s hearts this way.
