***Metis*** メティス (metizu) (*Greek*:Μῆτις) is an Anti-Shadow Suppression Weapon and Aigis "sister" in Persona 3 FES' "The Answer" epilogue. Just like Aigis, Metis is also an android.

## Myth

Metis is the goddess of wisdom and deep thought. She is a Oceanid born of the daughters of titan gods Oceanus and Tethys. Metis is notable for giving young Zeus a special drug that allowed him to release his brothers from the belly of his father Cronus. Zeus married Metis after ascending to the throne, and she gave birth to their daughter Athena, the goddess of knowledge. Zeus fooled the pregnant Metis and swallowed her whole after learning that she would give birth to Athena and produce a son who would be stronger than him and overthrow him.

## Biography

Metis is a character exclusive to the Answer in Persona 3 FES. Aigis loses her ability to use Orgia Mode as a result of gaining the ability to use the Wild Card, therefore Metis fills that function. Metis has access to a better "Neo" Orgia Mode, which increases both her attacks and her ability to employ skills without incurring any additional costs. She also replaces Shinjiro Aragaki in which they both share the same Hierophant Arcana, the ability to employ bludgeon-class weapons, and comparable fighting styles.

The members of SEES make the decision to reunite before their dorm closes after the protagonist's death and Nyx's defeat. SEES experiences an odd environment during their reunion, as time seemed to stand still and reset whenever the clock struck midnight.

Metis is first observed attacking SEES. She introduces herself as Aigis's sister and claims that she was sent to look out for her. She wants to eliminate the remaining SEES members since she sees them as a burden.

Metis took part in upgrading Aigis' body parts after she loses consciousness as a result of overusing Orgia Mode to subjugate her. She was later restrained, though, for more interrogation. Later, Metis takes the SEES members to the Abyss of Time, a maze beneath the dorm. There, Metis explains that SEES members were responsible for creating the Abyss of Time, but she won't say why. Since SEES was responsible for building the labyrinth (Tartarus), Metis thought that once SEES was destroyed, time would begin to flow once more.

Due to her prior attack on SEES, the members first oppose letting her join but with the exception of Aigis, Metis has a strong disdain for them as well. Eventually, Metis joins SEES after Aigis makes threats to leave her alone. The entire time on their journey Metis seems to be guarding Aigis and refers to Aigis as her sister. She also appears to comprehend something about the protagonist, Nyx, and the Abyss of Time.

The SEES team discovers that they have the capacity to go back in time to the moment the protagonist locked Nyx after fighting the manifestation of their negative wills. Each member, however, has a different perspective about doing so. Yukari wishes to go back in time to alter the protagonist's actions, but Junpei opposes her because doing so would essentially undo Nyx's sealing.

### True Identity

By the time SEES entered the Velvet Room toward the end of the game, Metis's true identity had finally been revealed. In there, the members of SEES appear in front of Igor. Igor is joined by Metis, who seems to be familiar with the Velvet Room. In order to avoid the emotional burden of losing the protagonist, Aigis wanted to go back to being a fully automated machine. Metis says that she is from "the other side," which is actually the expression of Aigis' emotional side. As a result, Metis frequently feels helpless when Aigis threatens to leave her during their conflict with the other party members. If this were to happen, she would be left all by herself, just as she was when Metis was first created. After discovering Metis' true nature, the sisters make up with him.

After the sisters come to terms with Metis' actual character, Metis unlocks the room to the dorm where it once was, concluding Aigis's journey. When Aigis unlocks the dorm door, Metis's voice can still be heard encouraging her to live life to the fullest in the hopes that her example may inspire others and lessen the burden on the protagonist.
