Profile
Having lived in an orphanage and later in Lunarvale for the last ten years ever since the Kirijo Incident in Port Island, Minako was reunited with her long-lost twin brother Minato when Mikage-cho materialized. A naive but exuberant teenager filled with joie de vivre, she is friendly, charismatic, compassionate, and an excellent listener. While she can also be pushy, direct, stubborn and prone to daydreaming when she's got her headphones on, as well as an outrageous flirt who doesn't *quite* get the meaning behind flirting, she'd throw her back to the wall for those she cares for. She possesses a rare power, that of the Wild Card, and is able to hold more Personae within herself than the average person. Despite, or perhaps because of this, she is open and generally sane.

Integrated Background
Minako Arisato is Minato Arisato's younger twin sister, age 17, birthday November 2. She's not a result of something created in Mikage-cho; she existed in the real world and she will be sticking around for a good long while, barring something very unfortunate.
Her memories of the incident on the bridge are fuzzy, but she remembers being there with Minato, intense violence and getting knocked off the bridge. She doesn't remember what happened next pretty much at all, save for vague feelings--major trauma will do that to you--but the doctors told her that someone managed to fish her out of the water, give her CPR, and brought her to the hospital. The doctors and police tried to find her parents, but no one ever came for her, and so she was sent to an orphanage. She believed that her family had all died ever since then. As a result of excellent grades in middle school, she managed to get a scholarship to St. Hermelin High School and thus not worry about paying for tuition. As a result, she was in Lunarvale when the DVA System exploded and Mikage-cho hit, and so her path and story finally re-intersected with Minato's.
She does not have Thanatos inside of her. However, neither is she untouched by Death.

Persona
Eurydice was an oak nymph, and later the wife of the musician, Orpheus. Unfortunately, she trod on a venomous serpent, which bit her ankle; she died almost instantly. Heartbroken, Orpheus descended to the Underworld to win her back from Hades; although he succeeded in making his case, there was one condition: that she would walk behind him all the way to the surface world, and that he would not look upon her until then. Nearing the surface, Orpheus' doubts grew, and he glanced back, only to see Eurydice's spirit wordlessly fade away.
Resonance
To other users, her resonance is best described as something akin to that of new leafy growth, or of a young oak tree. It speaks of the joy of spring, of life starting anew and bursting out all over, but there's also an undercurrent detectable by the resonance-adept: as wonderful as this all is, it's transitory in the end.
Smell-wise, it's quite clear that there's a plant theme going on: new growth |is the main note, as well as fresh spring air and a touch of a floral scent. Soundwise, it's somewhat akin to the rustling of leaves in the wind, with the occasional distant noise that almost sounds like someone's dancing in a forest glade, in the distance. As a new Evoker-user, Minako is currently blind to Resonance. This may change.
Uploaded RP Logs
Logs
- Force of personality - Minako runs into Shinjiro at the dorm... and proceeds to make him very uncomfortable. (Minako Arisato, Shinjiro Aragaki IC: Nov 24th, 2009 (OOC: May 26th, 2010)
Mikage-cho TP Logs
- Waking Up in St. Hermelin - The girl who would at first be known as A-ko and later be revealed as Minako Arisato wakes up in St. Hermelin. Silly thing about wearing headphones, though, is that you can't hear if there's anyone else around... (Minato Arisato, Minako Arisato) IC: Nov 2nd, 2009 (OOC: May 4th, 2010)
- Encountering Minagi - Later the same day, Minagi arrives at St. Hermelin looking for Blaise and Minato. A-ko/Minako is there to greet her, but when Minato actually comes up, she reacts rather badly. (Minagi Shimizu, Minako Arisato) IC: Nov 2nd, 2009 (OOC: May 4th, 2010)
- Encountering Arisa - The next day, A-ko/Minako runs into her underclassman, Arisa Shiratori. They aren't familiar with each other, but Arisa offers to protect her, and gives her her phone number. (Arisa Shiratori, Minako Arisato) IC: Nov 3rd, 2009 (OOC: May 5th, 2010)
- Encountering Himeru - Himeru is searching for her friend Itsuka Mizuhara after she got kidnapped by the Dark O. A-ko/Minako runs into her and offers to help her search, and manages to cheer Himeru up from her foul mood by the cheer force of her personality. (Himeru Namikawa, Minako Arisato) IC: Nov 4th, 2009 (OOC: May 6th, 2010)
- Encountering Souji - Souji arrives at St. Hermelin looking for Arisa, and Minako runs into him. Minako's shamelessly innocent flirtatiousness first comes out here, as well as her ability to enunciate heartbubbles. She helps Souji get in touch with Arisa, and offers to help him however she can in regards to Itsuka. (Souji Seta, Minako Arisato) IC: Nov 5th, 2009 (OOC: May 7th, 2010)
- Encountering Blaise - Blaise is being an emo. Minako alternately cheers him up and makes him upset by virtue of unwittingly bringing up people he has problems with. Maybe it's due to low blood sugar, though, and they end up hitting a convenience store to get some food. (Blaise Cameron, Minako Arisato) IC: Nov 6th, 2009 (OOC: May 8th, 2010)
- Encountering Miwa - Miwa, who was previously trapped on the East Side of Mikage-cho, comes to St. Hermelin to get herself a change of clothes and medical supplies. Minako shows her the way to the nurse's office. (Miwa Saitou, Minako Arisato) IC: Nov 7th, 2009 (OOC: May 9th, 2010)
- Awakening and Rage - Now that the demons even on the West Side have gotten violent, Minako's found that suddenly she isn't just able to get by with sheer force of personality anymore. The demon Alice (as NPCed by Igor) terrorizes her and several people come to her rescue--including Minato, the brother she'd thought long dead. Sheer force of emotional trauma and Minato's Evoker allow Minako to awaken to her Persona, Eurydice, and save his life. Also, Itsuka dies, but she gets better. (Minato Arisato, Minako Arisato, Minagi Shimizu, Himeru Namikawa, Itsuka Mizuhara, Kanon Itoh, Ritsue Tetsumoto, Blaise Cameron, Deidra Doyle) IC: Nov 11th, 2009 (OOC: May 13th, 2010)
- A Talk with Minato - Now that the fraternal twins have been reunited, Minato and Minako bond and catch up over vegetable soup. Aigis guest-stars, as does Pharos, as NPCed by Minato. (Minato Arisato, Minako Arisato, Aigis) IC: Nov 12th, 2009 (OOC: May 14th, 2010)
- Clothes-Washing - On Saturday morning, Minako is washing dishes while Himeru is washing clothes when Midori enters and reeks up the entire bathroom with the funk of the clothes she hasn't changed out of or cleaned for the entire two weeks since she's been there. Minako and Himeru attempt to wash them for her. They insist. Minako also displays that she has no shame whatsoever. (Himeru Namikawa, Minako Arisato, Midori Nakashima) IC: Nov 13th, 2009 (OOC: May 15th, 2010)
- Mikage-cho 101 - Later on that day, Minagi and Souji arrive at St. Hermelin after running themselves ragged fighting demons. Minako makes onigiri for them while they attempt to explain exactly what's been going on in Mikage-cho. (Souji Seta, Minako Arisato, Minagi Shimizu) IC: Nov 13th, 2009 (OOC: May 15th, 2010)
