Mother... Father.. Forgive me... I created a Self-Insertion Fan Character... *screams*

I hate the idea of self-insert fan characters, so this is some sort of strange day for me.

Hokay!

----------------KOZUE HIJIRO---

Arcana: The Hanged Man
Persona: Citadel
Class: 3-1 Yasogami High

A sempai of the Protagonist, and somewhat of a delinquent, (thus the boy's uniform.) She keeps to herself mostly, and seems to have an explosive temper if aggravated. She appears on the TV on a program about Inaba regular-lifestyles, where she shuns the camera upon being interviewed.

Shortly afterwards she appears on the Midnight Channel, her Shadow starring as the killer in some sort of cheap horror film. After investigating, the Protagonist finds out her childhood friend was killed in an accident which Kozue could have prevented.

Kozue's dungeon is called "Hokusei Tunnel", a dark, misty mining tunnel. It seems to be the set on which Shadow Kozue's 'horror flick' is filmed. It represents her deep seated fear that she infact was responsible for her friend's death.

(I imagined this kind of music playing for the dungeon: [link])

On confrontation, Shadow Kozue claims that normal Kozue should give in and admit killing her friend, and relish in getting rid of her 'rival'. She was always the one following, never leading. Kozue refuses to take the blame, and Shadow Kozue takes her true form.

"I am a Shadow, the True Self!"

----------------------------

True Form Kozue represnts Kozue's fear of being tied to her friend's death, and strung up for all to ridicule and blame. The masks represent the delinquent-facade she was hiding behind to keep herself sane.

"Let all laugh, and let it eat you alive!"

(Probably uses Bufu/Bufula and Mudo spells... but anyway..)

After defeating True-Form Kozue, Kozue admits that she was happy her friend died, since she felt free of her bullying influence. However, she let the guilt of this eat her alive, and in time it morphed into her feelings of actually having a direct hand in the death. With the help of the Investigation Crew she rids herself of these childish feelings and matures.

Shadow Kozue then turns into Citadel of the Hanged Man Arcana.

-----------------------------

Kozue uses a short chain for regular attacks, she beats the enemy like a thug.. :D

Citadel still uses Bufu type spells, along with Mudo and Stat-down spells.

-----------------------------


So there you go. I really enjoyed drawing this, which was a nice change. And yes, her body is too small, and all monsters i draw seem to resemble Infamy. I noticed too late to fix it.
