**\_**

**Design**

She has a voluptuous, yet athletic build, fair skin, a long mane of dense dark red curly hair and emerald green eyes. When her appearance is altered, her hair has been straightened out and the tone is more of an auburn.

\_

She typically wears the standard girl’s uniform of Gekkoukan High School during her time there, accompanied by a good sized leather shoulder bag that she keeps anything she feels she might need on hand.

\_

Summer clothing usually involves something lightweight and unrestricted, opting for polo shirts and shorts during the hotter months. Swimming garments can vary somewhat, but she does wear a dark green bikini for more casual trips to the beach. Footwear seems to be along the lines of sports sandals.

\_

Winter clothing tends to be more protected, tossing out the use of shorts, skirts and pants for blue jeans and a certain heavy leather coat she seems to enjoy wearing during cooler weather. Sandals also get exchanged for more protective leather boots.

\_

When working on solo operations, she usually wears a special pitch black tactical suit of her own design with hardened plates around vital areas and joints. Nobody is sure what it is made out of however despite being proved to be surprisingly indestructible.

\_

Not sure what she wears casually post-p3 however, likely something practical not not exactly showy or attention drawing… unless attracting attention is her intention.

\_

While she does look strikingly like Mitsuru at a glance, anyone paying attention at all would find her and her second cousin to be very different in more ways than one. For a start, she’s a little taller and more maturely built, her bangs lay in the opposite direction and lacks any extra embellishment or styling, her eyes are a deep piercing green, and she holds a very different presence about herself in general.

\_

The whole dyeing and styling her hair was her idea in order to alleviate confusion between her and Mitsuru. However all the work is ruined whenever she uses her channeling ability.

**\_**

**Personality**

Farron seems to be an aloof young woman at first glance, but can become quite friendly and more expressionate with those who earn her trust.

\_

She most definitely knows more than just Japanese and English, but despite her impressive fluency in those languages tends to forget to add honorifics and occasionally stumbles over local terminology and lingo.

\_

Socially, one can see her as more of a chameleon, using different aspects of herself to adapt to differing groups in order to get the most she can from those around her. However, she actually isn’t that social and only interacts with people she does not know out of necessity.

\_

She has little to no fashion sense, opting instead to use simple and easy to manage clothing instead of worrying about such matters.

**Profile**

Being rewritten.

**Summary:**

On May 5th 1999, an incident in one of the Lancaster group research facilities resulted in the mysterious disappearance of the entire compound without a trace taking her parents and all of the present company staff. As a result, they were all legally declared dead and their daughter the only surviving heir.

In order to maintain goodwill between the two families and protect future investments, Takeharu Kirijo took the child in as her legal guardian and nearest relative until she is old enough to inherit the company.

\_

Of course, this was not enough to prevent her from performing an investigation of her own over many summers over the years, each time delving a little further into the twisted remains of the compound before returning at the beginning of Autumn.

\_

While she did awaken to the power of the wild card sometime during those years, she kept this talent to herself out of fear that it might distance herself from her new family and cause them more harm. As a result most of her social growth was with developing her skills by interacting with and taming the various shadows and demons that wandered the abandoned halls of the old compound.

\_

By the time the protagonist arrived at the dorm she would have returned by at least seven or so months and returned to her alternate schedule of patrolling the city streets during the dark hour battling random shadows and other projects.

Odds are that she was still heading back towards the dormitory that night when the giant shadow attacked and Akihito was injured.

\_

Her discovery of the Protagonist being another wildcard was both a relief due to not being the only one and… not so much considering what she had discovered over her many years of experience. Eventually she becomes a sort of “mentor” for his/her own journey and gradually being more honest with him/her about things as time passed.

\_

Not surprisingly, the deaths of family and friends over the upcoming months would be quite devastating to her in more ways than one. However, if she was given the opportunity to change the past and prevent their demise she would most definitely refuse. What has happened has happened and changing fate will only cause more harm.

\_

**Persona 4 and after**

While she is primarily going to college now and continuing her studies in relative peace, odds are is that she intentionally placed one or more of her members of staff as a part timer during the summer break and having them send reports back on this and other events to her colleagues in the Shadow Operatives.

\_

**Persona Q**

Considering this is a break from Persona 3 events. She most likely would have either ended up there with the rest of SEES or with the two girls from the Lancaster group that were with her at the time. Of course, that does not mean she wouldn’t be confused the entire time about the general weirdness of the place compared to both Tartarus and Gehenna… even though the latter is rather strange in it’s own way.

\_

I mean… going from a bastardized interpretation of Alice in Wonderland to being well… partnered up with everyone from the protagonist to the dog and who knows what else would be rather disorienting.

\_

**Social Link**

Her relationship would be likely be built on trust and how much she is willing to share with them.

It’s usually little things at first… maybe she might tell the protagonist about the books and films she likes or bake cookies for them to chew on while studying. Later on she might ask him/her if they wanted to hang out at a local restaurant or see a movie together. I doubt she would make any big reveals unless it was on accident or she really trusts the other person.

\_

**Persona**

Unlike traditional wildcards, she has the ability to befriend demons and shadows as well as summon or channel them for discussion or combat. Okay… so Persona users used to be able to do that in the past, but it is a lost art.

For a start, Evelyn is what you might call a… “sealed” wildcard among her peers. Her fears of them finding out who she truly is and that sealed off state manifests itself as the lady of masks.

Her general appearance is that of a beautiful woman with silver hair wearing a vague mask that obscures her face. Relatively simple compared to most Persona considering the lack of flash and flare, but it belies it’s true abilities.

The persona’s appearance as well as their strengths, weaknesses, and skills change according to which mask is equipped and the role that is chosen. Status effects are automatically ejected upon a role change, but this also negates any buffs placed on the user as well.

However, the ability to use exclusive skills is not unlocked until after Evelyn gains her resolve. The true form of the persona still remains elusive however.

\_

**Lancaster Compound**

During the day it would probably looked like an empty and closed off area in the middle of the desert… at night the entire sprawling complex seems to come back to life, stretching across over several square miles of desert and up into the green lit sky.

As to how it is built… lots of buildings on the surface, but the majority of the main structure is actually underground. Not as tall as Tartarus, but wider and deeper into the earth below. In any case, it was to be a similar structure to its Japanese counterpart, but far larger in size due to having considerably more space to build.

The halls are primarily haunted by shadows due to the disaster that occurred on may 5th, 1999. There were no survivors despite the damage being successfully contained resulting in the loss of the entire complex. Apparently channeling Persona for long periods of time for self defense was not a wise idea at all.

This ghostly structure however… is where the family secrets were kept… and the seal over a terrible mistake.

\_

**Extra notes**

The Lancaster group did perform their own version of many of the experiments that were being worked on by the Kirijo group… However, they took different approaches in an attempt to find better ways to perform similar tasks.

\_

For example, they researched channeling Persona as a way to combat fatigue and increase combat efficiency during the dark hour.

While that could be easily considered a success since they were able to easily drive the shadows back during the 1999 incident and contain the damage to the test site, all hands were lost due to unforeseen side effects.

In summary, overuse of the ability causes the user to gradually fuse with their Persona resulting in eventual destruction of the psyche followed shortly by death.

Thankfully Wild Cards lack this issue… although constant use still causes temporary mutation.

\_

They also developed their own version of Shadow Suppression Weapons.. However, due to technical issues and the end result not expected to be ready for another ten years, the project was considered to be an effective failure. As a result, it is not known what it involved.

\_

While their vision for Evoker tech did not get off the ground,they did make groundbreaking strides in developing anti-shadow body armor at least until the project was scrapped due to lacking the ideal materials to perfect the design.
