Her Arabian-inspired outfit drapes and flows around her body with a seemingly weightless quality.

About Rise Kujikawa

Rise Kujikawa is a first-year high school student at Yasogami High School and a member of the Investigation Team. Before the events of the game, Rise worked as a popular idol known as "Risette."

Background

Outwardly, Rise appears a cheerful, outspoken, and a slightly arrogant teenage girl. However, underneath the surface, she harbors deep insecurities and a sweet, sensitive nature. This doesn't prevent her from flirting with the boys around her or overreacting to her annoyances. Though she claimed to return to Inaba for health reasons, Rise struggles with her career as an idol. She worries that she's lost sight of her identity and that people only value her false idol image. While she teases her friends, she deeply cares for them and will quickly rush to protect them when necessary.

Abilities

As an idol, Rise developed skills in singing, dancing, and acting. After awakening her Persona, Himiko, Rise joins the team as Navigation. She can detect enemy weaknesses and reveal attack effectiveness in battle. After battles, she can heal party member HP and SP depending on her level. In Persona 4: Golden, Rise can join the party in an All-Out Attack by increasing the attack's output damage level.

Other Important Persona 4 Characters

Rise interacts with many characters throughout the series. Here is a brief outline of some important characters.

Kanji Tatsumi

Kanji Tatsumi is a first-year Yasogami High School student that joins the Investigation Team right before Rise. Though he looks like a delinquent, Kanji only adopted his outward appearance due to his insecurities. His interest in traditionally feminine hobbies causes him to question his masculinity and overcompensate in response. By confronting his shadow, Kanji embraces his inner self and starts to reconcile his crisis of identity. As fellow first years, Kanji and Rise hang out in their spare time, with Rise often acting as Kanji's social buffer.

Teddie

Teddie is an anthropomorphic bear-like shadow from the Midnight Channel. Teddie introduces the Investigation Team to the Midnight Channel and provides them with the glasses they need to navigate the thick fog. Initially, Teddie serves as the team's Navigation as well as the game's comedic relief. When confronting Shadow Rise, Teddie sacrifices himself and reveals his own shadow in the process. After the Team defeats both Shadows, Teddie grows closer to his human friends, gaining a human form and his own Persona. Rise takes over his role as Team Navigator.
