Social Link/Ryoji Mochizuki

This article covers information about the Fortune Social Link, Ryoji Mochizuki, including events featured in Persona 3 Portable. Exclusive to the female protagonist's route, the Fortune Social Link in the male protagonist's route is instead Keisuke Hiraga.
The nature of Ryoji's character results in a somewhat irregular, semi-automatic Social Link. The female protagonist automatically starts Ryoji's Social Link on November 9th. He can be found during the day in Classroom 2F in Gekkoukan.
Ryoji gives the female protagonist a Faint Glow Ring when the Social Link is maxed, which enables the fusion of Norn.
==Skills==
Unlike Persona 4 and Persona 5, advancing a character's Social Link in Persona 3 does not grant skills usable in battle. Instead, completing the Fool Social Link, SEES, grants various benefits and abilities.
==Availability==
The Fortune Social Link is semi-automatic, as Ryoji will sometimes actively schedule meetings with the female protagonist. In addition, the Fortune Social Link requires zero points to advance; though there are many chances for progression to stop due to human error.
