Star Arcana

The Star Arcana is a recurring Arcana in the Persona series.
==Overview==
The Star Arcana is also commonly associated with hope, self-confidence, faith, altruism, luck, generosity, peace and joy.
In gameplay, the Personas of the Star Arcana commonly excel in Wind or Ice element attacks, but are often vulnerable to Fire-based attacks. Personas of the Star Arcana are sometimes astrological figures, but many Star Personas are simply multi-talented figures, or deities with many different spheres of influence.
Characters of the Star Arcana tend to establish themselves midway through the protagonist's journey. While somewhat antisocial, they embody their arcana's traits of hopefulness and joy while also dealing with acute struggles both internally and externally. Their links with the protagonists help them to recognize and accept misconceptions about their lives' paths and comprehend what they truly want.
The story of the bliss revolves around how certain forces are past their control and are unattainable, but those forces are still allowed to do whatever they want, including the faux relationship between both. The freedom of these forces are an inspiring yet binding power for the person, but it is important to let go of it. At the same time, this can be irresponsible and can only erect distance between people, and it is important to mend it through taking responsibility.
Teddie's a literal example, as he was in denial of the fact he's a mere Shadow, and he would only remember the truth after overcome with the fact both his ignorance and superficial cheerfulness led him unable to save Nanako Dojima from death. But after a miraculous recovery from Nanako thanks to Teddie's encouragement, he realizes the true importance of the truth. In Golden, his third awakening is a repeat of the Star's story, as Teddie has to let go of the protagonist, who'll leave in a few months.

The Star Arcana powers up every time the protagonist interacts with Mamoru, when the protagonist helps to support Mamoru mentally, as well as encouraging him not to give up.

If the female protagonist is chosen, the Star Arcana Social Link is represented by Akihiko Sanada. To activate it, he must be spoken to after May 25th with a Charm of Rank 4 or higher. The plot revolves around Akihiko's brotherly treatment of the female protagonist, generally developing this into more than just something to erase the guilt of his past with. Up until Rank 7 of the Social Link, it can't be progressed until October 4th has passed. Afterward, the Social Link can be progressed. At Rank 10, Akihiko gives the protagonist a rabbit doll and bestows the ultimate form of the Star Arcana, Helel.
Neko Shogun, a Persona exclusive to Persona 4, and Setanta, appear in Persona 3 Portable as the two weakest Personas of the Star Arcana, starting at Level 19 and 34 respectively.

===Persona 4===
The Star Arcana Social Link is represented by Teddie, a resident in the Midnight Channel. It is automatically initiated after the events of Rise Kujikawa's kidnapping. As Teddie's sense of smell is gradually worsening, he laments about his purpose of existence and his true nature. The protagonist would later comfort Teddie, and after hearing the words of the protagonist, Teddie becomes motivated once more, and creates the Star Arcana Social Link with the protagonist.
The Star Arcana Social Link powers up automatically as the story progresses, and by leveling the Star Arcana up to Rank 3 allows Teddie to learn his distinct follow-up move, Bear Claw, where Teddie delivers a flurry of strikes on another active enemy with 100% critical rate. However, the protagonist must have first struck down a target.
On December 3-6, Teddie comes to terms with his existence as what he is - a Shadow that grew aware of the human thought that created them. The Star Social Link reaches its maximum, and Teddie's Persona evolves into Kamui. The protagonist is bestowed with the ultimate form of the Star Arcana, Helel, the Light-Bearer.
In Persona 4 Golden, Teddie can unlock a third-tier persona: Kamui-Moshiri. This is done by initiating Social Link meeting at any point after 1/10 if the Star Arcana is at Rank 10.
