Atlus shared a new character trailer for Persona 5 Scramble: The Phantom Strikers. The trailer introduces us to Ann Takamaki, one of the major characters in the Persona 5 games.
About Ann Takamaki
Ann Takamaki is a playable character from Persona 5. She is a student at Shujin Academy who lives a double life as a Phantom Thief.
Ann is a very kind and compassionate girl, enough for it to be noted by both Morgana and Sojiro Sakura. Years of isolation due to her looks has left her very withdrawn and with a belief she’s lost her place in the world, but that doesn’t stop her from opening up to the people close to her and making jokes. This is because she’s learned not to care what other people think of her, a lesson taught to her by Shiho Suzui, who was her only friend before joining the Phantom Thieves.
She is shown to be a good judge of character, as she was the first person able to look past the rumors of the protagonist and see him for who he really is (while Ryuji Sakamoto befriended him before her, it was because he saw him as just another “troublemaker” and didn’t learn his full story until later).
Her good judgement of others is also shown by her willingness to forgive Makoto after learning her side of the story in the incident with Suguru Kamoshida, namely that she wanted to do something but felt powerless to stop him, having realized it wasn’t too different from her own situation. Before this, she also comforts Makoto when she calls herself “scum of the Earth” due to her failure to help Kamoshida’s victims, saying that if she really was scum, she wouldn’t call herself such.
