Profile

Ran is the half-Japanese, half-American daughter of the couple who own the Lucky 7 convenience store on the mainland portion of Port Island, in Iwatodai. She has a reputation as a bit of a slacker, having not bothered with college entrance exams despite graduating Gekkoukan High; instead she works in her parents' store as a part-timer. She dotes almost excessively on her younger sister Hinata (the brains of the sibling trio) and seems almost in awe of her older sister Kanon. She has, in the past, displayed an uncanny ability to be at the right place at the right time.

Friends and Relations

Hinata Itoh - Little Sister. Hinata is an endless source of enthusiasm and pride. Ran has always tried very hard to be a good influence on her and to be someone that Hinata can look up to. They're very close.
Kanon Itoh - Big Sister. Although Ran and Hinata only recently learned they have an elder sister due to Convoluted Reasons (thanks Mom), they think Kanon is super awesome cool and welcomed her into their home and lives. Kanon gave Ran her (first?!) tattoo, and now Ran wants to go back for more.
Shinjiro Aragaki - The Boyfriend. Although their relationship got off to a rocky start back in Ran's second year of high school, she was quickly won over by his charm and confidence. After the Incident on Shirakawa Boulevard, he disappeared; when Shinji started coming around again, Ran found that her feelings for him hadn't changed. After some recent 'help' from the TV World, they've managed to get past the stumbling blocks holding them back and are now going steady.
Akatsuki Enda - Shiny Senior. Recently transferred to Gekkoukan after a stay in the US, Ran finds Akatsuki easy to talk to, but thinks he's a little weird for being so perfect.
Mitsuru Kirijo - BFFs. Mitsuru has a lot of her shoulders and a lot on her mind. Ran is always willing to lend her an ear, and likes styling Mitsuru's gorgeous red hair. Mitsuru actually trusts her to do this, and Ran hasn't disappointed her yet.
Akihiko Sanada - BFFs. Akihiko is easy to talk to, and once told her that he considers her a sister. Ran returns those feelings - Akihiko is the brother she never had.
Itsuka Mizuhara - Itsy. Itsuka's dedication to Shinjiro quickly won Ran over, and her fondness for the girl has only increased since Itsuka came into the TV world not just to save him, but Ran as well.
Shiki Ichimonji - Shikkun. Shounen manga author and first-year Gekkoukan student, he's dating Itsuka and once came to ask Ran for advice about 'how I shot first date?' He did great! Shiki also came to the TV world to rescue her and Shinjiro. The secrets he learned about his senpais were hard on him, but his determination to save them from themselves carried him through.
Thora Kobayashi - Oni-chan. Being a half herself, Ran is sensitive to Thora's uncertainties and resentment regarding how society has treated her. She helped rescue Thora from the TV World in Inaba and saw her Shadow, and maybe because of this Ran is extra-kind to her. She calls her 'Thora-chan', which seems to confuse Thora somewhat. Thora came along to the TV world as part of both Ran and Shinjiro's rescue parties, and her unfaltering strength and survival instinct played a vital role in the rescue.
Naomi Suzuno - Shinji's Ojou-san! Naomi Suzuno Spencer and her father Miles host a lavish Christmas ball every year to raise money for underprivileged children and orphans. Ran was able to go to the most recent one, not knowing that Shinji had already made acquaintances with the beautiful hostess. Naomi seems like a princess to Ran, and the two hit it off rather well even though they didn't mingle together for very long - Naomi was very busy with her hostess duties. Ran also thinks Miles is SUPER AWESOME for using a Kermit puppet to help give his speech.

Resonance

For those who are adept in sensing it, Ran's and Verthandi's resonance is one of a Persona that concentrates on magical abilities, with an affinity for the Wind element. Verthandi herself gives off a quiet hum like that of an electric fan laid over the constant, slow ticking of a clock. As she requires an Evoker to summon her Persona, her own resonance is quite weak.

Ran isn't terribly talented at reading resonance: she recognizes those of her closest friends (Shinjiro, Mitsuru, Akihiko) most easily, followed by those of her sisters (Hinata and Kanon). She needs to spend a great deal of time around a person with an awakened Persona to become aware of their 'frequency', but afterwards she knows when the person is close by. She can't read specializations, or elements, however - only physical proximity, though highly emotional Persona-Users's resonance may give her an idea of their mood.
