Da Vinci

2Margot Dubois, a member of your Phantom Thieves codenamed Da Vinci in the metaverse, is a French national studying art abroad in America and was working part time at an art museum when millions of dollars worth of paintings and sculptures were stolen. She was accused of the crime without evidence and was only proven guilty when you helped her "change the heart" of the true culprit, her boss. While exploring her bosses "Palace" with you, Margot awakened to her persona, Erato.
A Persona is a manifestation of a Persona user's personality in the Persona series, referred to as a "mask" for an individual to use to face hardship. Rather, the term "persona" is Latin for "mask."
A Persona is similar to a Shadow. Shadows are malevolent manifestations of one's inner thoughts, while a Persona is a manifestation of the same feelings but tamed and trained. If an individual takes up a resolution in their heart, the Persona will undergo a metamorphosis into a stronger form.
In the depths of human hearts, shared by all people, there is a domain where mythological archetypes dwell, and they grant an influence over an individual's personality development. Anecdotes of mythological divinities the world over probably exist because of that, so one could say that gods and demons exist not in Heaven and Hell but in the hearts of humanity. Personas even have an influence on physical and mental abilities, making their users superhumans, for example giving them mastery over weapons or resistance to terror and madness.
Shadows are the lower parts of the psyche everyone has... Suppressed human thoughts given physical form. When people are unable to face their darker selves, they break loose, free from all control. But sometimes, humans with special awareness can tame their Shadows... Those are Persona-users.
