## Profile

**Backstory**

Hooter was born as a owl-like Shadow in the World of Fiction. For years, he wandered through the world until he found a mysterious library and made it his home. He learned that the books within held all kinds of knowledge about humans and their relationship with Shadows. He learned about Personas and the process of forming Enigmas. Hooter began to lose his natural Shadow ways as his intelligence rose. However, his fellow Shadows did not like Hooter's changed self and attacked the library. As the Shadows destroyed the books, Hooter's emotions caused a miracle to occur as one of the books turned into a Grimoire. Using his new Persona King Arthur, Hooter fought back the Shadows and locked them into the library's basement.

Years later, Hooter was shocked when two humans entered the World of Fiction. He introduced himself to them and taught them about how his world operated.

He joined forces with them to form the Grimoire Court to stop the Shadow Swaps.

**Social Link**

Hooter's Social Link is about him accepting you as a friend instead of a tourist. He admits that he didn't want to allow you to be his friend because he wanted no more heartbreak. Completing it unlocks the ultimate Emperor Persona, Shaddad.
