Profile

A third-year student at Seven Sisters, Miwa Saitou started at the school in her first year, having then only recently moved to Sumaru from Nagaoka to live with her father. Despite starting her last three years of school in a new location, she's managed to create a fine reputation for herself. She's known foremost for her devotion to the school's music club, and in fact holds the first chair cellist position. Miwa is also known for being reliable, even under pressure, and a good listener; add in a sense of style, good grades, and you've got a girl who seems to embody the ideal young Japanese woman.

Brief Personal History

Daughter of Miyoko and Kouhei Saitou, Miwa was raised and grew up in Nagaoka. However, in the October of 2004, the city was rocked by the mid-Niigata Prefecture earthquake, and her mother was killed when their house partially collapsed. In the months following the disaster, her father took a job in Sumaru, supporting his daughter from afar while she lived with her grandparents. In early 2007, once he was finally financially secure once again, Miwa went to live with her father in Sumaru, starting her first year of high school in a new city. Currently she is in her third and final year.

Persona

"I am thou... thou art I. I am Ratri, she whose many eyes illuminate the darkness. Come, and I will guide you, through the heart of the night."

Miwa's Persona is Ratri, the Vedic goddess of the night. She was invoked to protect those who must brave the dangers that lurked in the darkness, and to light the way with her many stars. She was also the bringer of the morning dew. However, despite her general benign depiction, Ratri also possesses a grimmer aspect: she is not only the protector against the hazards of night, she is also those very same hazards.

Power Description
Aques Moderate water damage to one target.
Hama Small light damage to one target.
Mudo Small dark damage to one target.
Maraqua Small water damage to a group.
Mamudo Small dark damage to a group.
Mediamai Regen over time to a group.
Mudoon Moderate dark damage.
Purple Wall Improves one target's defense against dark.
Recarm Removes bad status effects and minutely heals one target.
Third Eye Removes positive status effects and deals small mystic damage to one target.


Resonance and Other Talents

Like most Persona users, Ratri grants Miwa a subtle boost to a mundane ability. In her case, her general presence seems to help her help others find what they're looking for, providing a slight boost to sensory Personas in particular. She's also more easily felt as a result by other Persona users with a talent for perception.

Miwa can also detect the presence of Shadows with Ratri. However, as Ratri is not specialized for detection, her ability is weak. She can only 'feel' them for about fifty yards from her exact position, and only at night.

Extras

The nerdy stuff!

Trivia

  • Name and Linguistic Puns
    • Miwa's legal name is, in fact, Miwako. Like many young women, she's dropped the -ko suffix because she feels it's childish. Written in kanji, it is: 光輪子 斉藤 (first-name, last-name order). They can be translated roughly as 'corona child' and 'equal wisteria'.
      • It's also a slight nod to a singer by the same name[1] (different first name kanji, though).
    • Her father's first name is Kouhei, written 黄平. It can be read as 'yellow peace'. Similarly, her mother's first name was Miyoko, written 美夜子. It can be read as 'beautiful night child'. This is an intentional nod towards her Persona.
    • Her username on most websites is tenshikourin2304. Literally, it means 'advent of angel', but the kanji of 'kourin' is the same as her first name. The numbers are also significant: they're the day and year of the earthquake.
  • Other Trivia
    • Miwa's other hobby is plant terrariums. The apartment she lives in has very little room for large plants, and certainly no garden like her grandparents had, so she's tried to bring a little greenery to her home by carefully tending tiny plants in bottles and jars.
    • Her dream is to own her own small business.
    • She has a bit of fondness for black humor. Despite her best efforts, this sometimes slips out.
