**Iroha Tamaki** Is the main protagonist of Persona Record Series. She is also a third year middle school student at Kamihama City University Affiliated School, magical girl in Kamihama City and she is also the leader of Kamihama Magia Union.

## Background

Ten years ago, during the summer, Iroha got lost on a walk in the park with her parents. She cried in search of her parents, stopped at an old tree, and met Ren Amamiya. Their first meeting made them close friends shortly before Ren's family moved out of town.

Ten years later, Iroha decided to make a contract with Kyubey so that Ui's untreatable disease could be cured. Shortly after Iroha became a magical girl, the longing and memories regarding Ui mysteriously disappeared. Iroha decides to investigate the lost memories of Kamihama, until she realizes the wishes she had made, including the memories of her sister Ui. Once she learns of these memories, she decides to search for Ui and meet up with new magical girl friends in town and join together to search for clues.

Afterward, Iroha and friends encounter a witch-like monster called "Uwasa" with two Iroha's acquaintances, both of whom are Ui's roommates in Satomi Medical Center named Touka Satomi and Nemu Hiiragi. When she met the two of them in front of him, but both of them did not remember Iroha, as the memories about her and Ui were erased. Touka and Nemu become enemies of Iroha and their friends and invite them to join the Wings of Magius, but they stand up to fight them. Eventually, a witch named Embryo Eve, whose the Wings of Magius created, went on a frenzy attacking Kamihama. In its red gems lies a young girl's body, which is Iroha's sister Ui Tamaki.

Fortunately, Little Kyubey, who followed Iroha and her friends, stirred up the missing memories to Touka and Nemu. The two of them realized that what they had done was a huge mistake. So they changed their minds to help Iroha to successfully rescue Ui from Eve's red gem.

Suddenly, the Witch Walpurgisnacht has arrived in Kamihama, ready to attack the town after Embryo Eve, until all the magical girls have to work together to fight it until they can defeat the Walpurgisnacht.

One day, Iroha and Ren reunited in Kamihama, and she always called Ren "Ren-senpai".

## Appearance

Iroha is a fifteen-year-old girl with pale pink hair that frames her face with two large bangs that cover the sides of her cheeks and her forehead. Her eye pupils are a pale, dark, reddish-pinkish color, with her irises matching her hair color.

### Magical Girl

In her Magical Girl form, she wears a hunting outfit, consisting mainly of a skintight brown jumpsuit, a black crop top and shorts of the same color, all beneath a short light pink pleated skirt with a pink belt, and a white pink-trimmed cape with pink stripes running down the hood. She also wears black gloves. Her crossbow is brown with light pink details with two pink gems at the top and bottom which is attached to her arm with buckled leather straps. She also sports black thigh-high boots with laces lining the fronts. She wears her soul gem on a golden necklace around her neck.

## Personality

Iroha is shy but determined, and is also kind and caring to others and cares deeply for her peers. Her personality bears close resemblance to that of Madoka Kaname's, the only difference being that Iroha‘s has a stronger will. Iroha is kindhearted and tends to worry too much about others. She's not up on the latest trends and isn't good with her phone. Usually reserved, Iroha can be a fighter when it matters most.

## Abilities

Thanks to her wish to cure her Ui's disease, Iroha has healing magic. However, while she has been shown using it to heal others, it is unclear whether she can use it on herself to the same extent as Sayaka Miki. However, her power is capable of completely healing a cracked Soul Gem, as was the case with Mifuyu Azusa. Her connect ability seems to support the thought of her healing ability being greatly effective on other people rather than herself allowing her to potentially keep her allies alive at a more effective rate.

With her arm-mounted crossbow, Iroha can fire magical arrows, either one-by-one or in a large, spread-out volley. She can charge her arrows before firing to make them stronger. She is also capable of creating a large bow made of magic capable of firing herself like an arrow. Her arrows can also form one concentrated blast when combined as she is shown creating beams of light after they are shot into her magical sigil. Whilst Iroha can fire magical arrows at a rapid rate, they don't always reliably hit her opponent and can be deflected away. It should be noted however they can easily overwhelm enemies if fired constantly allowing Iroha to potentially face a wave of enemies if necessary.

Something interesting about Iroha is what happens when she uses the 'Connect' ability on another magical girl, it seems that her magic ultimately powers up the attacks of other magical girls as shown with Tsuruno's fans spewing greater amounts of fire after Iroha connected with her. The same also applies to Felicia's hammer travelling around at great speeds and creating a purple energetic wave around it when Iroha connected with her also. As a result, Iroha is able to hypothetically give her allies a temporary power boost offensively if she were to 'Connect' with her allies.

When her soul gem turns black, she can bring forth her doppel, Giovanna. Giovanna seems to be able to summon varying amounts of 'cloth' from it's being at will. This 'cloth' can be used to suffocate enemies after tying them up or to create binds or traps. The doppel seems to have an execution method when dealing with enemies where it will wrap them up in the 'cloth' before mercilessly pecking them to death. Iroha - when in control of Giovanna that is - can also send tendrils of this cloth charging at her enemies in a volley and wrap it's 'cloth' around herself as a form of defence. Though the doppel may not be as strong as other ones it can be dangerous due to it's persistent desire to get rid of anything that Iroha doesn't wish to acknowledge. The doppel hypothetically can also keep Iroha 'safe' as it's innate nature is denial or 'silence'. As a result, Iroha is never able to truly be taken over by the doppel as it renders her completely oblivious once it takes over, effectively preserving her mental state so she doesn't become lost to it.

## Doppel Description

"The Doppel of silence. Its form is a cuckoo. The master of this emotion is aware of how pitiful her Doppel is, and refuses to look at it. This Doppel wordlessly wraps around and strangles anything it doesn't want to hear as it continues its search for something to fill the hole in its heart. While it should be calling for someone, it is cowardly and afraid of acknowledging the reality it has concealed, and so it remains, silently covering its ears."

## Relationship

### Ui Tamaki

### Minato Arisato

## Trivia

* **Iroha** means "the fundamentals" or "the ABCs." Probably a reference to her role as a protagonist.
* Tamaki (環) means "ring".
* The name of Iroha's witch, Giovanna, and the name of Yachiyo's witch, Campanella, are a reference the famous Japanese novel Night on the Galactic Railroad, who's main characters were named Giovanni and Campanella. This, together with Campanella being the doppel of Ticket-clipping, is irony - in *Night on the Galactic Railroad*, Campanella decides to answer a question in class instead of the shy Giovanni, only to stay *silent* so that Giovanni is less embarrassed, and it is Giovanni who *owns the ticket to the galaxy*.
* The name Giovanna means 'God is gracious'.
