Persona Magica - Chapter 1 (Main)Persona Record: Magi Arena - Chapter 3 (Supporting)

**Chie Satonaka** is a supporting character in Persona Record Series and the main protagonist of Persona Magica. She is an energetic girl with a love of kung-fu movies, she's one of Yu Narukami's classmates at Yasogami High School.

## Background

A resident of Inaba. She is a second-year student in Yasogami High School and an ardent fan of martial arts, and mostly uses kicks while fighting. Chie and Yukiko Amagi have been close since childhood, so they lived in the same school from elementary school to high school.

Yu Narukami first meets Chie alongside Yosuke and Yukiko at school, in which she was the first person to give him a warm welcome by telling Kinshiro Morooka to give him a seat next to her. When class is over, Chie found out that her "Trial of the Dragon" disk was broke because Yosuke crash landed on his bike before this. She kicks him in the pancreas and angrily leaves with Yukiko, with Yu leaving him alone as well. When an unsettling-looking student unsuccessfully flirts with Yukiko, Chie criticizes him for his poor social skills.

On the next day, when Yosuke invites Yu for a hangout in court Junes, Chie comes in and asks him about a way to compensate for her broken "Trial of the Dragon" CD. Once Yosuke playfully banters with her that her real reason for coming is because she heard the word "steak," she relaxes for a bit and invites Yukiko as well, only for her to turn off the deal. Apparently, Chie was disappointed that the Junes court has no grilled steak, but nevertheless happily converses with Yosuke and Yu.

On the next day, after school, Chie was discussing the Midnight Channel with Yosuke and the protagonist, in which Chie claims that she saw that her soulmate was a "girl" and questions Yosuke if he saw the same person. Yosuke confirms it and with Chie's parents wanting to buy a TV, they went to Junes trying to buy one. However, Yu accidentally sucks his hand onto the TV, and a panicking Chie was accidentally dragged into the TV World alongside a panicking Yosuke. Inside the TV World, Chie was the first one who found the atmosphere odious and was begging Teddie to help the trio leave. Teddie summons three televisions and knocks them out of the dimension.

One day, Yukiko has not shown up on a sudden ad-hoc school assembly, worrying Chie. The principal announces that Saki Konishi has died due to mysterious reasons, although he rules out bullying as a reason. It turns out that she died in the same way as Mayumi Yamano, making the students suspect a serial murder case on the loose. A depressed Yosuke arrives in the hallway to share his theory that people who enter the TV actually die in a pattern that cannot be concluded as coincidence. While Chie suggests him to find the police, Yosuke believes that the police may not be able to help, so they will be investigating the murders on their own hands. Chie holds a rope bound to Yosuke as a lifeline and Yosuke gives Yu a Golf Club as a weapon. The duo enters the television and the rope breaks instantly, panicking Chie. After Yosuke and Yu surface back to the real world, Chie was seen kneeling on the floor, shocked and angered. She throws the rope onto Yosuke's head, knocking him over and scolds the duo for worrying her before stumbling away. During this night, Yukiko was interviewed on TV, and a blurry image of her began to appear.

The Next day, Chie panics again as she sees Yukiko on the TV, fearing her dearest friend's death. Fortunately, (for now) Yukiko was perfectly fine. However, during the next day (where Yukiko's image becomes clear on the previous night), after Ryotaro Dojima releases Yu and Yosuke from custody for displaying weapons in the Junes court, Chie rushes to the police station and the trio confirm that Yukiko was really kidnapped, as Chie was unable to contact her. With no choice, they barge into the Midnight Channel once more, this time exploring Yukiko's Castle. Having their weapons confiscated by the police, Chie introduces them to Master Daidara so they can buy new weapons.

Midway into the Castle, Chie was drawn by voices echoed by Yukiko, who states that Chie was her meaning of living and without her she is just meaningless. This induces a reaction on Chie's psyche and a double of Chie, known as Shadow Chie appears in front of her and claims that she was just using Yukiko to her advantage and she can't do anything without her. Shadow Chie proceeds to claim that Chie's friendship with Yukiko is fake and she's just taking advantage of her merely because she was a pathetic person. When Chie denies the Shadow, just like Shadow Yosuke before, it knocks her out and transforms into a dominatrix in yellow with extremely long, black hair and riding on top of a pair of Yasogami High School students. Yosuke and Yu defeat the abomination, and persuades Chie to accept her Shadow. She admits her true feelings and Shadow Chie transmogrifies into Tomoe.

## Appearance

Chie has dyed light brown bowl-shaped hair and brown eyes.

In Persona Magica, Chie wears a modified Yasogami High uniform with a light green, high collared athletic jacket adorned with several decorative pins (including a smiley face) and underneath her mini skirt she wears short black compression shorts. In summer, however, she is seen wearing the school's standard summer uniform, having wrapped her jacket around her hips.

In Persona Record: Magi Arena, Chie wearing Japanese police uniform.

## Personality

Chie is energetic and outgoing, the "extrovert" compared to Yukiko being the "introvert." She has a bright and upbeat personality, often trying to cheer up the group by joking about the case. She can be somewhat short tempered, especially with Yosuke, and is slow to back down from a challenge.

Chie, in a way, could be considered a "tomboy." She is obsessed with kung fu and is a huge fan of martial arts movies, most prominently *Trial of the Dragon*. She also has a poster of Bruce Lee in her room. Chie's wish is to become a police officer some day. Chie's cooking skills are horrific and her cooking tastes generally unpleasant, causing them to be labeled as Mystery Food X. Fitting as an action movie fan, Chie is fond of large amounts of meat, such as grilled steak and beef bowls.

Chie has strong sense of justice and a fierce desire to protect others. She is willing to defend strangers from being threatened and attacked by local delinquents. Even when outnumbered, she does not hesitate to intervene and speak out. Chie wants to protect Yukiko and Yu most of all, and they serve as strong motivators in her wanting to become stronger, constantly training her kung-fu moves and challenging herself physically. Though nominally fearless, Chie has some specific childish fears: she is terrified of ghost stories, thunder, locusts (and possibly other insects), and being in the dark.

Chie's biggest insecurity is her jealousy to someone with a better background than her, which is one aspect of her unhealthy relationship with Yukiko in which both of them are secretly guilty of hiding their true feelings from one another. After years of being with Yukiko who is treated as wealthier, more popular, scoring higher grades in school and having more male admirers, Chie gradually develops an inferiority complex in comparing herself to Yukiko and is jealous of all the male attention Yukiko receives. As a result she comes to believe herself to be undesirable, especially compared to Yukiko. This causes her to derive satisfaction from Yukiko's need to rely on her for confidence and support at the beginning. When Shadow Chie is defeated, she vows to overcome her complex and be a true friend to Yukiko.
