CHARACTER
Character Name: Chie Satonaka
Character Age: 18
Canon: Persona 4 (just the original video game)
Canon Point: Post-True Ending, with 5 months in-game at Demeleier.
History: Persona 4 at Wikipedia and Megami Tensei Wiki.
Personality: Chie is extremely friendly, outgoing, and energetic; she’s shown to make friends quickly - in fact, it’s Chie, not Yosuke Hanamura, who becomes the game’s Protagonist’s (called Souji Seta in the manga adaptation, henceforth used for simplicity’s sakeI will resist Yu Narukami forever OK) first friend in his new town. She’s pretty cheerful, for the most part - definitely ranking as more of an optimist than a pessimist - but she does have something of a short emotional fuse. Chie’s quick to anger, quick to cry, quick to panic, but also fairly quick to get over it; she’s not usually the type to hold grudges (though for Yosuke, she’ll make an exception) or throw herself into long, drawn-out fits of rage or hysterics. She does, however, have a bit of a stubborn streak.
One might say Chie fairly accurately embodies her own motto of “Don’t think, feel.” She’s not dumb, but she doesn’t always take the time to think things through rationally, especially when it comes to her friends. For example, when on the mission to rescue Yukiko Amagi, her best friend, Chie takes off on her own, heading into the dangerous fog basically unarmed. She’s not overly reckless as a general rule, she just allowed her focus on one thing - saving her friend - to take precedence over things like her own safety. It’s not unheard-of for Chie to act in a self-sacrificing manner, either. During the events toward the end of her Social Link with the Protagonist, there’s an episode where she steps in to stop a group of bullies from harassing another child in the shopping district, and offers herself as a willing target for their physical violence instead - a pretty gutsy move. In battle, she’s even known to sometimes knock Souji out of the way of a particularly critical blow and take the damage herself.
Chie despises bullies, and seems to have a very strong sense of justice; she’s a walking example of Lawful Good. She genuinely wants to protect people, especially those who are younger, weaker, and oppressed, and she’s fiercely protective of her friends. By the end of the game, this intense desire to protect people leads to Chie choosing to pursue a career as a police officer after high school, under the direction of Detective Dojima, Souji’s uncle.
Chie’s also an extreme martial arts enthusiast, to the point where at the beginning of the game, when Yosuke returns a borrowed martial arts film DVD broken, Chie chases him down and gives him a very critical kick to a very sensitive area over it. She spends much of her free time training, and even uses martial arts tactics in battle. One of her other great loves is meat - steak in particular - but she is a terrible, terrible cook. Yosuke dubbed her cooking “Mystery Food X” for a reason.
Arguably, one of Chie’s biggest fears is that of failure. She’s tough, and strong-willed, and definitely a fighter, and she seems to have never suffered any real, crushing defeats in her life, but even so, her Shadow makes light of this insecurity by taunting Chie during their confrontation - “I can’t do anything on my own, much less as a girl.” Failure - especially failure to protect people, and even more significantly, her friends - would amount to a fundamental weakness for Chie. Since her self-made mission in life is basically to protect people, inability to do so would be devastating to her very essence as a person.
Chie also experiences some insecurity with her gender, though it’s not given the same attention as some of the other characters in the game who later become her friends. Regardless, it’s worth noting because it is another aspect brought up by her Shadow, especially in relation to her friendship with Yukiko, and there’s no definitive resolution outside of the general acceptance of her Shadow as part of herself. The Shadow brings to light the jealousy Chie feels over the ease with which her friend performs her gender role; while Chie wears the girls’ uniform for school, she is notably “unfeminine” in comparison to Yukiko, keeping her hair chopped short, not wearing makeup, not attracting attention from boys, and generally cultivating more “tomboyish” interests, such as martial arts and other physical activity.
She’s also terrified of bugs, particularly grasshoppers.
Inventory: Just the (tattered) clothes on her back, a rowan crown on her head, a link of iron in her pocket, and her (nonfunctioning) comm device from Demeleier.
Abilities: Chie is able to summon something called a Persona, which is basically a manifestation of various facets of her psyche. Chie’s Social Link with the Protagonist (Souji Seta) has been maxed (friendship route), so at this point in time, her initial Persona, Tomoe Gozen of the Chariot Arcanum, has evolved into Suzuka Gongen. Suzuka Gongen casts higher physical attack spells than Tomoe, along with the same lower-level ice spells; blocks ice attacks entirely; and unlike Tomoe, is not especially weak to fire attacks (or any other types of attacks, for that matter).
A quick overview of Suzuka Gongen’s skills from the stated point in the timeline (around level 74):
Chie is also skilled in martial arts (it’s implied she’s self-taught; she spends much of her free time with the Protagonist “training”) and employs these tactics in battle. One of her most powerful moves is the Galactic Punt, which is basically what it sounds like - she kicks really, really hard. As it is the only instant-kill follow-up move in Persona 4, this speaks highly to Chie’s great physical skills as a fighter.
Flaws: Chie is, overall, a good person. She does have a quick temper, though she’s usually quick to get over it, and she is stubborn. However, the best argument for her being here is the fact that she was somewhat tangentially involved in the death of Tohru Adachi in Demeleier, an event over which she is still very traumatized.
CR AU
Previous Game and Time: Demeleier; June-November 2011.
Previous Development: Chie spent five months in a weird sort of captivity in the fae village called Demeleier. She found some of her friends and acquaintances from Inaba (Souji Seta, Yosuke Hanamura, Souji’s cousin Nanako Dojima, big-time dumbass Tohru Adachi) were already there, having been spirited away several months prior. Not long after she arrived, Adachi went on a rampage against the village, boosted by the Fae Queen’s power. Chie witnessed Adachi murder Souji’s girlfriend, Ange Ushiromiya; Souji was finally able to put a stop to Adachi’s reign of terror, but only by killing the other man himself. This caused a significant strain on Chie’s relationship with Souji, as she was deeply unsettled by the idea of her friend becoming a killer (albeit arguably in self-defense/for the communal good), and the fact that she herself was somewhat involved in what transpired. They did not address the tensions between them or reconcile.
Other notable events in Demeleier that Chie experienced included recurring horrible nightmares shared by all of Demeleier’s citizens, and an attack on the village by the dragon Sindragosa, which resulted in Chie’s (temporary) death, and from which she now bears clawmark scars on her legs and torso.
