A WILD APP APPEARS
Character: Rise Kujikawa
Series: Persona 4
Age: 16
Canon: Don't touch that dial! Persona 4 is that popular RPG about eight screwed-up teens, a spree of mysterious murders, and the midnight television show that binds them all together. After gaining the power of Persona, said teens use their new abilities to hunt down the truth and bring peace back to the town of Inaba. Aaand now, introducing, in her newest starring role as the Inaba Investigation Team's reliable backup-slash-navigator: it's hot teen idol "Risette" Kujikawa! After ending up in Inaba while taking a break from the spotlight and then narrowly escaping a nasty end, Rise joins the party in a support capacity, locating victims, items, and monsters inside the TV World and cheering your party on during battle.
Rise's personality makes her well-suited to the cheerleading role. As a former idol, Rise has a natural, outgoing charm; she's not afraid to talk to people or speak her mind, and she's quite aware of her own charms and how to use them. While she cares a lot about her friends and helping the innocent, she's not above pouting or being a bit manipulative to get her way. Rise firmly earns her status as the protagonist's "Lovers" social link with her flirtatiousness and tendency to focus on romance; her female friends call her "dangerous" and "a terrifying girl" because she doesn't bother to hide exactly what it is she wants. After a long series of identity crises (which were hardly abated by her status as a celebrity), Rise has grown into a confident, playful, sociable young woman with a kind heart and a bit of a nosy/bossy streak when she's got an idea in her head.
Rise is being apped from after the True Ending and the completion of her s.link, [spoilers]having decided to return to work as an idol.[/spoilers]
Sample Post:
Looking for something new this summer? Sick of sparkling, crystal-clear waters? Tired of bikini-clad babes and warm sand? If you're on the prowl for an edgy, unsanitary experience your parents totally wouldn't approve of, set sail for the polluted waters of Camp Fu-
Wait, cut. Can we cut for a second? I think I need to go freshen up. Zombette, will you come with me? I guess freshening up would be kind of out of character for the undead, but you can de-freshen! You know, I'm kind of jealous of your ability to get into a role, especially a role like that. On the other hand, I don't even want to think about what that much stage makeup would do to my skin, and there's not much point in hiring an idol anyway if the fans can't tell who she is under all the-sores. So I think I'll leave the shambling and grunting to you. You're a natural!
But I actually wanted to talk to you away from the cameras for a minute. You probably don't know either, but ... where is the director? Isn't it weird that she's not even watching us? I've known a lot of eccentric directors, but usually it's more like the "Look at me! I'm wearing a tacky yellow suit to get attention!" kind of eccentric, not the "My location must not be disclosed, grr!" kind. And I really need to talk to her before we do another take. It's completely cliché, but when I'm reading through my lines, all I can think of is "What's my motivation?" By which I really mean, what could possibly motivate anyone to actually spend their summer here? "Tired of bikini-clad babes?" Yeah right! Like guys ever get tired of that! If they did, you all wouldn't have hired me to promote this camp, right? It doesn't make any sense!
I'm not a writer or anything, but this commercial is supposed to be targeting teens, right? Looking around this place, I can hardly even tell who you're all marketing to! The only clues are the condom tree and that weird "You must be this tall to ride the Marcy" sign by the lake, and by the way, I still can't even find that ride. Is it under construction? Urgh, whatever. The point is, if they want teenagers to come here, they're doing it wrong. Don't they realize what people are looking for when they go to the beach or summer festivals? It's all about the summer~ of~ looooove~! I get that this place has that whole "haunted house" vibe, which is cool, but girls only go to those things so they have an excuse to jump into guys' arms when something pops out. That's the kind of thing you guys need to be promoting!
So here's what I'm thinking. We get some extras who aren't dressed up like zombies, guys and girls, and we pair them off and film them walking through the spooooooky ... hey, Zombette! Earth to Zombette! Are you listening? C'mon, doesn't it sound exciting? The zombie jumps out from behind the cabin! Waaargh! Your heart pounds as you press up against the mysterious, handsome transfer student and cling to his arm like so-
Ohhhhh man, that's not really ... I don't think makeup can go that far. I-is it really on the ground? H-heeey, um, I'm really sorry about that, but I'm just going to go find my bodyguard now, and then maybe we can go find you a needle and thread, a-and crap, why can't I locate people in the real world? Oh well, there's always the old-fashioned way-
SECURITYYYYYYYYYYYYY!
