==Summary==
Naoto Shirogane is a playable character in Persona 4, who after her parents died in a car accident aspired to become a detective as her father was. She was brought up by her grandfather who helped make her into a detective while she was still in high school, and she wished to carry on the legacy of her parents (who were also detectives). However, due to being both a child and a woman, she faced a significant amount of discrimination within the police force causing her to develop insecurities which resulted in her hiding her gender from others. She was called to Inaba to assist with the various murders, but ended up getting involved with Yu Narukami and the Investigation Team, as well as awakening her own Persona: Sukuna-Hikona.
