**Nanako Dojima** is one of characters for Persona Record Series. She is the cousin of Yu Narukami and Aiko Narukami and She is one of Ui's best friend.

## Background

Nanako lives with her father Ryotaro Dojima, a detective in Inaba, at the Dojima Residence. She is also the maternal cousin of Yu Narukami (Before Aiko was Born). Her mother, Chisato Dojima, died in a hit and run when she was in preschool. The event caused a slight strain in her relationship with her father as he became obsessed with catching her mother's killer and Nanako maturing at a young age, taking on her mother's duties in her absence.

In 2011, Yu is sent to live in Inaba for a year due to his parents working overseas. At first, Nanako is shy around the protagonist and does not speak to him much. With time, and progressing her Social Link, she opens up to him more, eventually referring to him as "big bro."

## Appearance

Nanako is a little girl with brown hair tied into short pigtails and brown eyes. When down, her hair is shoulder length. Normally, she is seen wearing a white turtleneck under a sleeveless dress in pink and two shades of red, white socks and pink shoes. In summer, however, she wears a light pink dress. Along with the rest of the girls, Nanako sports a kimono at the summer festival.

As Persona Record: Magi Arena, She has waist-length brown hair.

## Personality

Nanako is a mature and kind person for a girl her age, though has moments of childish innocence, such as when she wonders if the weather reporter "decides" the weather. Her refreshingly honest way of thinking and speaking is noted by many characters in the series. She is selfless and tries her best not to hurt anyone's feelings. She tends to be shy around strangers, but becomes friendly once she warms up to them. She is quite responsible and reliable, and has handled a lot of housework, such as cooking, doing the dishes and laundry in her home, ever since her mother passed away. Ryotaro notes that she resembles her late mother not only in appearance, but also in personality. Nanako is an adept learner, as Kanami Mashita's Dance Instructor noted that she managed to completely learn a particularly hard dancing maneuver in a short session.

She also idolizes several famous people starting with Rise Kujikawa as well as her "Risette" character, defending her to her classmates when they state that Kanami Mashita is better than her.

Nanako loves her father dearly, but wishes that he would spend more time with her. She sometimes feels that he cares more about his job than he does her, but understands that Ryotaro does in fact love her. While she does not show it openly, Nanako also shows some deep sadness over losing her mother, reflected in her Social Link. Nanako still fondly remembers spending time with her, often picking flowers with her at the Samegawa Flood Plain, where she often visits when feeling upset.

## Abilities

Nanako's persona is Morrigan. In battle, she fights with Jump rope.

## Relationship

### Yu Narukami

Nanako's first cousin. When Nanako meets Yu for the first time, she becomes suspicious and fearful of him because she has never met him before. After getting to know each other for a while, she began to open up to him more, eventually referring to him as "big bro."

Nanako loves him dearly, when she sees him being bullied or hurt, she will protect him without looking at the actual situation of what the other person is saying or doing to Yu.

### Ryotaro Dojima

Nanako's father. Nanako has loved her father dearly since her mother's death because she died in a hit and run when she was in preschool. Although the relationship with her father is little strained because her father is a police officer, busy arresting the culprit, she is still worried and cares for her father.
