Moriyama, Natsuki
Seiyuu / Dub
Summary
As Fuuka’s closest companion and emotional anchor, Natsuki is a striking ganguro with an intensely tanned complexion and orange hair, embodying the gyaru aesthetic. Beneath her bold exterior lies a sadistic streak and a sharp knack for analyzing others, often knowing precisely what to say to make them feel inadequate. Initially targeting Fuuka due to her own insecurities, Natsuki was drawn into the depths of Tartarus after responding to Fuuka’s cries for help. During this crisis, Fuuka saved her by summoning her Persona, which encased them in a protective shell. Although Natsuki subsequently lost her memory of the incident, she apologized to Fuuka, leading the two to become best friends. Natsuki’s presence served as a positive influence, helping Fuuka gain confidence. However, Natsuki’s family was forced to move when her father fell ill and financial difficulties arose. She revealed to Fuuka that they were more alike than they realized, noting that her own parents largely ignored her as if she did not exist. Before leaving, Natsuki texted Fuuka, stating that "No matter how far apart we may be, we will always be connected," which provided Fuuka with the resolve to awaken a more powerful Persona. She also advised that "If they don't accept you for who you are, then screw 'em." Despite their differences, Natsuki remained Fuuka’s most important person throughout the game, once confessing, "I like you, even if you don't like yourself."
