- II - The High Priestess
- Benihime Asano: "Abuse" - A fellow student from Sevens. Miwa finds her creepy and highly disagreeable while Benihime seems to enjoy harassing Miwa emotionally, mentally and physically, particularly when it comes to Kyo.
- III - The Empress
- Nanami Kato: "Failing Connection" - A childhood friend of Miwa's. Miwa gave her the nickname Nanachan. She defended and looked after Miwa after her mother's death until Miwa moved to Sumaru. Years have widened the gulf between them, and she has since proven to be Shadow-Possessed. Miwa has gone to great measures to try to find and speak to her friend again, before it's too late, but...
- IV - The Emperor
- Yisa Taimiev: "Suspension" - An old friend of Naomi's. Miwa was initially somewhat wary about her, especially since their first meeting ended up with Yisa slapping her in the face repeatedly, but since then she has learned that Yisa has become entangled with Kyo. To what end and for what purpose, she's not certain, but she is very worried about this turn of events.
- V - The Hierophant
- Kei Nanjou: "Self-Control" - The young heir to the powerful Nanjou fortune. Through him, they were able to weather the storms of police suspicion and Nazi assaults. While he strikes her as a little cold, she thinks he must be compassionate or he wouldn't have helped them at all, no matter what he says about duty.
- Shinjiro Aragaki: "Discipline" - A member of SEES. He helped Miwa learn how to better control her Persona early on. He was once a source of advice for the young woman, and imparted upon her the truth that lay behind all bravery. He also told her his darkest secret, something that while it shocked her, underscored what their power was capable of.
- VI - The Lovers
- Lisa Silverman: "Understanding" - A former underclassman of Miwa's, and a member of the Shinsengumi. Miwa feels an obligation to look out for her.
- XII - The Hanged Man
- Tohya Kidzuki: "Surprises" - A very close friend. Miwa has given her nickname Tohyan. Though Tohya was a delinquent, she and Miwa ended up being friends courtesy of the Mikage-cho incident, which was only solidified by later events. They shared a dorm together for a time, but though they remain good friends, their respective paths are taking them in different directions. She cares very deeply about Tohya, and is grateful for her as a friend.
- XIII - Death
- Eikichi Mishina: "Duality" - A former Kasugayama student and member of the Shinsengumi. A rather flamboyant and strange person, but also quite possibly the most honest and friendly young man Miwa has ever met. More worrisome for a wide variety of reasons, though, are the feelings she's begun to develop regarding him. At least no one knows about them, though. Right?
- XIV - Temperance
- Naomi Suzuno: "Harmony" - A very close friend. Miwa has given her the nickname Naocchi. The daughter of a wealthy CEO, while Miwa and she share certain traits in common, they're also about as different as night and day. Their friendship, as with Miwa and Tohya, was forged in Mikage-cho and cemented by later events. Though Naomi is younger, Miwa often finds herself turning to her for guidance. Naomi is one of her dearest friends, and Miwa would do just about anything for her. More recently, she's become aware of a certain relationship between Naomi and a particular young man...
- XVI - The Tower
- Mai Namikawa: "Self-Bondage" - An extremely practical-minded young woman. She and Miwa thus often come in from opposite ends in their approach to the supernatural, though they're hardly unfriendly towards each other.
- Mikiya Ryouhara: "Instinct" - A completely frightening young man. He reminds Miwa of Kyo, though she's beginning to realize they aren't the same at all. He has some interest in helping Nanami, and Miwa has a good idea of why, though she doesn't dare voice it. He dispenses violence almost casually, and has no qualms about inflicting pain. Only his pact keeps him from hurting Miwa again, or at least until she breaks it.
- XIX - The Sun
- Kyo Enda: "Crushed" - Miwa's former boyfriend and Akatsuki's twin brother. Once devoted to him, his attempts at getting back together with her led to him becoming Shadow-Possessed. In time, he seemed to 'accept' that she had turned from him, which led to a disastrous confrontation where he decided to 'end things' once and for all: by consuming her alive. Only timely intervention kept her from experiencing sudden death. She's learned that he has found someone else, and fears for who it might be.
- Tatsuya Suou: "Brotherly Trust" - A good friend, though she only realized it far down the line. She feels he's a natural-born leader, and believes in his goal to protect the city. Though she has some difficulty understanding him at times due to his stoic nature, he's been there to support her in the past when she needed it; he's both expressed his concern and given her some surprising advice. He's like the brother she's never had, something she admitted to him herself. Currently, she's trying to learn from him how to fight.
