The High Priestess, Looking for the Truth

[Phoebe Minola]

Phoebe is an introvert. That''s the crux of the matter. While of the approachable type, you'll be hard-pressed to see her make the first big move and at times it can be really hard to figure out just what she's thinking. She's rather awkward at small-talk and will rarely say much in casual conversation but if she gets too nervous, she might ramble. She's quite a kind person so approaching her won't be that scary.

She's supposed to work at the local high school as a substitute English teacher but there's been some mix-up over her schedule and the regular English teacher's, so it's a bit fluid, but you'll certainly find her moseying around the school during the day. Most afternoons she can be found working at the Shakespeare & Co. bookstore, in Golden Alice District. She's got a reputation for picking out perfect books for people and sometimes doing tarot readings. Since she got her persona, you might also find her trying to investigate the Shadows and tentatively exploring the outer circle in search for any clues.

Friends

Phoebe's been in Mosaic City for only a few months and due to her hectic work schedule and her timid nature she hasn't really made any friends yet. She has acquaintances but just as she was warming up to people the perimeter dropped and everyone pretty much clammed up, her included. She's been grappling with her nerves ever since and awakening her Persona hasn't helped. She's a worrywart and an introvert it's getting in the way of her making contact with people. Really, she needs a bit of time to get used to what the heck is going on. But when you approach her and get to know her, you'll probably find an awkward but affectionate friend in her who may not say much, but will always be there when needed. I mean... at the moment her best friend is her goddamn cat.

Enemies

Phoebe has no enemies at the time. Not everyone may like her, but they certainly don't despise her enough for anything drastic. The problem is, some people tend to ignore her. Other teachers at the school she works at see her as a bit of an intruder because she's new and she's admittedly better at her job than the regular English teacher. Her landlady growls a bit about her owning a cat but that's probably the worst off. She's not one to hold grudges, but she is, after all, Mediterranean and it's best to stay on her good side. It's very easy to do so, anyway.

Lovers

Phoebe's still riding the tail end of a quite disastrous relationship so she's a bit sketchy on the whole love thing right now. She's not entirely ready to talk about her crap relationship, either. Given time she'll shake it off, but at the moment she may be a little too fidgety for a relationship. The girl's just gotten her Persona, she's spooked and probably not really eager to add more to her plate than she already has. But, if you're patient enough and get on her wavelength, you might find yourself receiving little tokens of her affection and witness quite a lot of cute awkwardness before anything spectacular happens.

Just don't get weirded out if she mutters something about hentai or dildos. She's a bit of a shy perv.

---

Welp, that'll do for now. Feel free to poke her and get friendly. She could use some friends.

Social Links

Given that she managed some, there may be hope for this introvert after all.

I - The Magician

Tristan Carter

Obstinate Friend/Fellow Truth Seeker
Rank: 5/10

Phoebe and Tristan met coincidentally while they were both exploring the Catacombs in the cemetery. Phoebe's first impression of Tristan is a little bit sketchy because the first thing he did to her was scare her by sneaking up on her. She's willing to forgive his mischievous attitude for the time being though. They've met a couple more times since. Phoebe recently witnessed his Awakening and is growing increasingly concerned with his changing attitude. And after doing a mission with him, she's growing even more concerned about his behavior. Now that time has passed and she's seen him in battle again and again, Phoebe's concern over him has increased. She wants to help the dork but she's also getting increasingly more angry with him.

III - The Empress

DJ McCloud

Acquaintance/Fellow Truth Seeker
Rank: 1/10

Phoebe met DJ at the Museum, on one of her foolhardy excursions there to take care of the paintings. He's new to the Persona scene so she's decided to fill him in and help him get his footing before the next big battle hits. She thinks he's kind of cute.

IV - The Emperor

Lazarus "Vice" Ysal

Tentative Friend/Fellow Truth Seeker
Rank: 4/10

Phoebe bumped into Vice, literally, at a random clothes store. After a bit of verbal dancing around they confirmed their status as Persona Users to each other. He's obviously got more experience with the situation than her. Phoebe's not completely sure about him yet but she's willing to give him the benefit of the doubt and treat him as a potential ally. She's answered a call for some teamwork practice and she's starting to appreciate Vice's greater experience a lot more and is trying to learn a few things from him. Phoebe's esteem of him has grown and she's learned a lot from him, but lately something seems off about him.

V - The Hierophant

Kyle Shibata

Co-Worker/Fellow Truth-Seeker
Rank: 4/10

Phoebe and Kyle both work at the Shakespeare & Co. bookshop. He's the barista of the bookshop's cafe. Phoebe doesn't know him that well but they get on well enough as co-workers. She's a lot more patient with him than other people are. Then again, Phoebe is a lot more patient with everyone, than other people are. Now that he's turned out to be a Persona user, Phoebe has to be even more patient with him and feels the responsibility to make sure he doesn't get his stupid ass killed... or kill someone with that axe. Kyle's grown on Phoebe now and she thinks of him as a friend - and someone she has to keep on a leash before he does something stupid.

VI - The Lovers

Setsuna Hamanori

Acquaintance/Student
Rank: 1/10

Setsuna is one of the first students to be sent to Phoebe's counseling sessions at school. Phoebe likes her well enough already and feels a kind of empathy for the girl. She's under the impression that Setsuna is more troubled than she wants to let on and would like to help her, even if she's simply someone that Setsuna feels comfortable with enough to vent her frustrations to.

VI - The Lovers

Maria Stark

Acquaintance/Fellow Truth-Seeker
Rank: 3/10

Feebs met Maria by accident at a noodle restaurant when they shared a table. Feebs thinks quite highly of Maria and is rather happy to have found another sane person and Persona User she can talk to and depend upon. They share a common concern about the next Full Moon situation. And now that the Full Moon battle has actually come around, Phoebe's found Maria to be a staunch ally.

IX - The Hermit

John Nicholson

Acquaintance/Fellow Truth-Seeker
Rank: 3/10

Phoebe met John randomly in the outskirts when they were both out there exploring. They fought off some Shadows together and became acquainted as Persona users. He seems eager for a bit further interaction and Phoebe issued an open invitation to the bookstore she works at. She gets the impression there's more to the old guy than he lets on. After doing a mission from the Blonde Woman with him, Phoebe's come to hold the old guy in higher regard than before.

X - The Wheel of Fortune

Christopher C. "CJ" Jackson

Contact/Fellow Truth Seeker
Rank: 2/10

Phoebe ran into CJ shortly after he first awakened to a Persona. She helped him out of the perimeter and they got acquainted by talking about Personas and the perimeter situation. He's still new to the whole thing but Phoebe finds him a refreshingly sensible acquaintance to have and has decided to help him out with sorting through the lies and figuring out just what the hell is going on in Mosaic.

XII The Hanged Man

Ayakura Alisa

Tentative Friend/ Investigation Chief /Fellow Truth Seeker
Rank: 3/10

Phoebe met Alisa at the bookstore she works at. A few stray words made Phoebe realize Alisa was a fellow Persona user, the first she ever met. Alisa is also the first person who kindly filled Phoebe in about the realities of Mosaic City. Despite Phoebe's awkwardness, they've become contacts and she has decided to assist Alisa in her endeavors in any way she can. And that time has come since Alisa plans to infiltrate the school for some investigations and Phoebe's going to be helping by smoothing over some issues and taking it on herself to be Alisa's backup if needed.

XV The Devil

Sakuya Kyoudou

Acquaintance
Rank: 1/10

Phoebe met Sakuya by chance at the shopping district and shared tea and some chat with her. Phoebe isn't completely sure how she feels about Sakuya. On one hand there's something vaguely pleasing and reasonable about Sakuya that Phoebe appreciates, but on the other hand, her gut feeling is telling her otherwise...

XVIII The Star

Rikki Hisako

Acquaintance/Fellow Truth-Seeker
Rank: 2/10

Phoebe met Rikki at the park one evening. She rather likes the young man for the time being, since he's apparently a 'veteran' Persona-user and so far as she can tell, he's got a solid head on his shoulders. He rather cheered her up on their first meeting with his music and quietly optimistic outlook and she's quite happy to know him now. During a couple of full moon battles Phoebe saw Rikki again and is growing more grateful for his presence and assistance.
