* Hecate

**Ann Takamaki**, (also known by the codename **Panther**) is one of the main characters of Persona 5.

## Background

Ann Takamaki was often alone growing up, living abroad before settling in Japan. Her only friend was Shiho Suzui, a fellow student in Shujin Academy. They were very close, but Ann, as part of a rich family, was a model, so she gained the attention of Shujin Academy's Suguru Kamoshida, the volleyball coach and former olympic athlete. Suguru Kamoshida used his authority to get sexual favors from students, and Ann was his next target. He threatened to do bad things to Shiho Suzui if she did not comply with his demands, so Ann reluctantly followed through. However, rumors spread throughout the school that she was sleeping with Kamoshida. Ann's reputation was ruined. When Ren Amamiya and Ryuji Sakamoto met Ann Takamaki, they tried to find out about her past with Kamoshida. However, Ann did not reveal anything. When Ann accidentally entered the Metaverse and found Kamoshida's palace, she found how Kamoshida saw her in the form of a shadow counterpart of herself. In response, she awakened her persona and fought back. Ann, alongside Morgana, Ryuji, and Ren, later formed the Phantom Thieves of Hearts, attempting to change the hearts of corrupt individuals.
