Tae Takemi

Tae Takemi, also known as the Plague, is a supporting protagonist in the video game Persona 5 (as well as its re-released expansion, Persona 5: Royal). She is a back alley doctor who owns a clinic in Yongen-Jaya, not far from Cafe LeBlanc, which she attends on occasion. Due to an incident in her past, she has a bad reputation as "the Plague", and so only ever gets patients with ulterior motives. Her clinic serves as the player's medicine booth throughout the game, and she also serves as the Confidant for the Death Arcana.
She is voiced by Yuka Saitō in the Japanese version and Kristen Potter in the English version.
==Overview==
Tae Takemi is the proprietor of Takemi Medical Clinic, a back-alley practice near Leblanc. Hoping to find a source of medical assistance for their ventures, the protagonist and Morgana investigate a rumor about her prescribing "special medicine". After some negotiating, she agrees to sell him medicine under the table in return for his cooperation in a series of clinical trials for a new drug.
==Personality==
Takemi is a somewhat eccentric young woman. She starts out as the eccentric doctor in the creepy, back-alley clinic who doesn't get a lot of patients and likes it that way. Her reputation as "the Plague" doesn't help either. This changes about halfway through, when she cures a young girl (who the hospitals couldn't or wouldn't help), to her initial chagrin. At the end of her confidant, she has built up a decent, loyal patient base, and she gladly passes up a job at the hospital to keep her clinic open. For all of her weirdness, she is a genuinely caring and concerned doctor.
While she may seem seedy and untrustworthy at a glance, she's only working out of a back-alley clinic because her old boss rushed an experimental drug for fame and fortune and pinned it on her when it all went south. She's been spending all of her time and resources trying to perfect the drug and undo the damage he did. While she's blunt about how expensive her new medicines are, once threatening to charge a million yen for a single dose, she doesn't exactly expect her patients to actually pay for them and completely waives the fee when she learns that her old boss had failed to treat a girl Tae was helping.
