Makoto Yūki/Kotone Shiomi (Persona 3)

"Yukari: Our lives out in danger! Do you want to die!? Makoto: I don't really care... Is dying really that scary to you?" "- Makoto, as he has no interest in dying." Makoto Yūki/Minato Arisato/Minako Arisato is the main protagonist in Persona 3. He/She is a transfer student enrolling in Gekkoukan High School in Iwatodai City. He/She is an orphan whose parents died on the Moonlight Bridge in their car during a fatal incident a decade prior to the game.

Why He/She Rocks

 * 1) He had one of the most badass awakenings the the entire Persona franchise.
 * 2) It's true that Makoto/Kotone is a silent protagonist, can look emotionless, but he/she is very kind hearted and forgiving.
 * 3) The way Makoto/Kotone summons Orpheus/Thanatos/Messiah by shooting himself/herself in the head without dying can look really badass, considering the game's message is about accepting death.
 * 4) Despite mostly saying "Who cares?", he/she is very caring to his/her friends.
 * 5) While being a silent protagonist, Makoto is very stoic, reserved and calm, sometimes, had no care in the world, not even dying, and gathered by the fact that he remains unmoved even when guns are pointed at him, as well as walking under a green sky and being surrounded by blood pools and coffins everywhere at the beginning of Persona 3.
 * 6) * His female counterpart, Kotone (referred to as Minako "Hamuko Yūki" Arisato by fans, sometimes FeMC or "Phem See"), can act the opposite. she is very bubbly, funny, upbeat and cheerful. Her dialogue choices exhibit a broad spectrum of emotions, ranging from sarcasm, joking tones, utter seriousness in Persona Q2: New Cinema Labyrinth.
 * 7) He/She is very well designed. Especially with the emo hair.


 * 1) Makoto/Kotone gets along well with the members of S.E.E.S,  Aigis, Shuji Ikutsuki (until he betrayed the group), Ryoji/Pharos, Elizabeth and Theodore.
 * 2) * Even with Ren, the Phantom Thieves,  Yu, and the Investigation Team.
 * 3) He/She, along with S.E.E.S., saved the world by sealing Nyx, but at the cost of his/her life, making the sacrifice by becoming a door, and preventing the end of all life. And afterwards, Makoto/Kotone spends his/her remaining days until March 5th as a regular highschool student, then lies on Aigis' lap while having their last talk together, and sleeps for eternity.
 * 4) "Personal space, please."

Bad Qualities

 * 1) Similar to Ren from Persona 5 and Yu from Persona 4, he/she doesn't speak very often.
 * 2) Although being emo isn't a bad thing, but when Makoto/Kotone first transferred to Gekkoukan High's dormitory, he/she looked uninterested when the civilians turned into coffins or everything around him turned green. He/She just walks in the dorm like it's a normal thing.

Trivia

 * Makoto (Male) appears as an optional boss in Persona 5: Royal.
