Description

Character Callout, Week 1 "interesting Female character design"


    Persona 4, this was a game I had heard about through a friend of mine during my last year of school. The concepts, story arcs, and designs were among the many things he was showing to his buddies. After seeing some clips of the newly released anime adaptation on the old Chaos Theatre forums I frequented in, I had shown great interest. So my friend told me about how the game was available for PS2, which almost saddened me as I didn't have a working one available at the time. However, he also told me about a newly released expanded port called Persona 4 Golden which was exclusive for the PS Vita, not knowing that I had just received one the previous Holiday. So, about one month later, I pulled together enough money for my broke ass to buy a copy at my local store, and......Holy Christ. I had no idea about the spiritual Journey that I would soon take. 

This fucking game, if that's even a good enough title for this, changed my life. I'm not joking, I had a revelation to change my outlook on life, and myself as I had experienced the story as myself and the friends I had made in it. This was beyond a good time. This was a SPIRIT LIFTER. I had dedicated myself to taking to heart everything this game had taught me: 
From accepting the type of person I was, to how I get to know others and accepting who they are, and especially, ESPECIALLY searching for the Truth, no matter how grim it may seem. (coming off of Phoenix Wright also helped reinforce that last one). And this..EXPERIENCE through my time in Inaba, all came around to when I bumped into this one, amnesiac, girl upon my arrival. And despite how cruel her words may have seemed to the average person (hell, there are STILL people to this day who hate her because they can't past that!), I knew she was hiding some inner, personal pain. I also knew that was going to be the girl I loved.

So, without a doubt, Marie immediately caught my attention upon first appearance, and it was obvious that she would be my pick for this topic. For everything this girl has done for me to help me grow, along with the town that introduced her, it's about damn time I paid a little tribute for them.

The blues are so bright and solid! Outright reminds me of her sprites from P4 Arena Ultimax.
Nice effort on her skirt, too. I know some days, I can't be bothered to even try to emulate plaid. XP

I have to admit...personally? I think I found myself too impressed by the depth of the characters to even consider taking what they were conveying to heart. And yet, when I encountered my own "Face Myself" moment within the past few months, I certainly thought back to this game, too.
...even as far as thinking, "This must be how it feels to awaken to an Ultimate Persona!" I seriously ended up as someone's Social Link. It was strange, not being the "main character" for once.

Heh, the more you say, the more I want to know~
Learning more about people never ceases to amaze me, adding new information to what I already know, making connections, even noticing odd inconsistencies...it's just so fun, coming to understand another person!
I'm saying all this because, "Huh, this is not something I would've ever known without him saying it himself."

Definitely interested in this "Character Callout!" thing!
I'm already reading up on it and I see the new prompt. I'll try to participate, too! With it being weekly, rather than daily, I believe it should be more manageable than some of the daily style challenges I've tried in the past. XD

Sorry it took so long to get to these.

Yeah, I used quite a bit of other art as reference material for this, but promotional artwork for the spinoff titles ended up being my go to.

Oh yeah, get me psychologically interested in a character, or just make them feel like a person, then I'm good.(I'm currently in love with the chameleon girl from RWBY if that's any indication)
Oh-ho, it seems yet another Wild Card has been doing their job. Honestly, as much as I love how charismatic a character like Yu Narukami becomes for those around him, it's the fact that he focuses solely on each individual and who/what THEY are and their lives that I love the most(the trick is to NOT be the "main character"). Kinda the opposite of how I see someone like Giorno Giovana focus on things.

And their's the secret to my answer to life's greatest question.

That's okay, considering that I didn't think you'd get to them at all. I actually thought you were ignoring me for some reason.

Yeah, realistic characters are totally absorbing. (That's no indication because I still haven't seen RWBY. Like the music though.)
I suppose I get what you mean by that, not being the "main character." I'm just not used to being...helped, is all. Earlier on, I definitely remember wondering, "Where did these tears come from?" I couldn't see anything; I didn't really understand why I was crying, I guess I still don't. "Have I really been in pain all this time?"
I may be a serious person at heart, but I despise when people make a big deal about their problems when all they wanna do is complain. But I guess...underestimating the impact of what's happened to you can be equally devastating.
...I know who Giorno is, but I don't know what you mean, because I don't know enough about him. XD

Wait, what is life's greatest question?
Why do I feel like the answer to "What is life's greatest question?" is "What is life's greatest question?" for paradox's sake?
