[OOC - explainations 2.0. Now with spoilers. :D]
So, you're all wondering what's different in Sadako's world.
Well...
In Sadako's world, she's the only one whose genderbent. She's still the leader of the self-proclaimed Investigation team and still has the wild card ability. But unlike most of her male counterparts (and Soujiko), this one has the manga canon of moving all over the place her whole life turned up to eleven. Thus she may be friendly once she gets to know you better but to everyone else, she's that cool chick from the city who appears to be unapproachable and a bit scary.
And because she had to move constantly, Sadako also refuses to get close to people out of fear that people will forget about her after she moves away. This brought upon by a couple of incidents from when she was younger where she called up some 'friends' who gave her their phone number before she left and they had no idea who she was at first. And in middle school, she went out with a boy named Hiroki Takemoto before discovering she was the 'other woman.' A couple of months later, she moved again...which didn't help much at all.
Thus when she was transferred to Inaba, she wanted nothing to do with other people so she attempted to keep her 'ice queen' routine on autopilot. But fate brought in Yosuke Hanamura (and Chie Satonaka), murder, a world inside the TV, and persona and that plan took a nosedive before she decided that a few friends wont hurt (and hey, friends = stronger Personae. Who wouldn't want that?) In fact as time went on, she realized she was developing a crush on Yosuke and started to deny it to the point when Yosuke finally got around to asking her out, she panicked, rejected him off the bat, and ran off without saying why. This happened a week before she found herself in a weird mall full of demons, other persona users, and clones of practically everybody. She still hasn't forgiven herself about that yet so that's why she hasn't actively tried to find the door back home.
Also in her world, Yasogami High has its own Kendo team. Being a Kendo dork, she tried to join but the spots filled up quickly and Mr. Morooka thought girls shouldn't get themselves dirty in a sport like that, so she ended up being the manager. One day she checked up on the team and was appalled by how horrible everyone was doing. She decided to take it upon herself to whip everyone into shape. As a result, the Kendo team is able to win matches between other schools. But they also fear for their lives. You can't skip practice even if she's not there that day because she just somehow knows. She's scary when she's angry.
Tl;dr: Kendo is serious business.
Uh, anyway...
The biggest difference of all is the involvement of Izanami. When Sadako shook hands with that weird gas station attendant on that day she arrived in Inaba, she gained the power to enter TVs and her ability to use a Persona awakened. What also happened was that she was also given a bit of Izanami's power. The same happened with Adachi and Namatame.
So far what that power happens to be is currently unknown 'cause Bilbo fails and Sadako only recently gained access to it in the form of a Persona version of Izanami. Not all of that Persona's abilities are readily available (or for her to use). But the downside to having that power is that it gives her a connection to Izanami and Izanami has been taking advantage of it all this time by turning Sadako's inner turmoil (resentment at her parents making the family move all the damn time, the fear of commitment, her regret of rejecting Yosuke) up to 11 ever since she arrived in Inaba to the point it caused her shadow to appear the other day. And if Izanami wanted to, she could possess her (and easily torment her via mind rape or otherwise \o\;). The signs of her being possessed are red eyes and a double voice.
What can cause possession:
1. Having that persona equipped too long
2. Using said persona too much
3. Out of spite/for the lolz
The more she gets possessed, the longer Izanami is in control.
Its not only Sadako Izanami will mess with. She can do the same with Adachi and Namatame if she wants things to get more interesting. Except the other two are doing fine without her 'help'.
Obviously, poor Sadako will ping the hell out of the resident Izanami (and maybe a few other godlike beings) now that the personafied bit of Izanami's Goddess Powers(TM) has been brought to the surface.
OTHER INFORMATION:
-Chie and Yukiko became a lot more closer after Yukiko was rescued. In fact, Chie won the Amagi Challenge :P
-Sadako and her canonmates have yet to learn of the Naoto spoiler. Then again, it is only early September for them.
-Sadako's Shadow was due to show up back in her world. It just so happened that it appeared while she stuck in the Velvet Mall
-The thing with Teddie? She does like him as a friend but she apparently has a weakness for Bishonen Sparkles. Either that or Spoiler-tan was influencing her
-Rise sort of has a girl-crush on Sadako. But also despairs that her senpai has a lack of interest in girly things.
-As for Nanako? Her cuteness is difficult to resist even for Miss Hermit.
-Do not make The Ring/Ringu jokes around her. Just don't.
That's all, folks. Any questions? :D;
