**Sana Futaba** is a major character who appear in Persona Record Series. She is a magical girl who is always thinking negative thoughts. Ostracized by her family and by the people around her, she never gained any real confidence in herself. But she is gentle to others, which leads her to submit to the will of those who can be confident in their own abilities, and she is always content to serve quietly and obediently at their side. "What… was I born for? I need to change, don't I?"

## Background

Sana was consistently ridiculed and ignored by her own family, thus causing her to see no point in continuing the life she was currently living. She made a contract with Kyubey, and wished for herself ‘to disappear' (or to become invisible). While Kyubey technically granted her wish, it was corrupted in the sense that Sana was invisible to people, and was only visible if the latter was another magical girl. So everyone she knew no longer remembered her. She was stuck in the Endless Solitude, and was happy with the Uwasa of the Anonymous Al, or Ai. Later, Ai died because she no longer could support the wings of the maguis. Eventually, she meets Iroha Tamaki, and the latter eventually become friends.

## Appearance

Sana is a teenage girl with pale, wavy, teal hair tied into pigtails and matching teal eyes as well as a thin, petite build.

### Magical girl

In her Magical Girl form, she wears a silver breastplate and steel cuffs around her upper arms and silver armored leg guards along with a white, emerald green-trimmed ruffled skirt with a cross design dotting the front. She wears a pinstriped sweater and socks, as well as Esther gloves and a brown, leather belt around her waist. She sports silver, steel high-heeled boots and a golden crown-like headband with emerald-coloured gems around her head and golden trinkets. She also wears a white veil on her head and a white mini-cape around her waist. Her weapon is a large, golden-trimmed emerald-coloured shield with emeralds decorating the top that are lined with gold.

## Personality

Sana is an introverted, quiet, and shy girl. Due to the effects of her corrupted wish which made her invisible to anyone who isn’t a magical girl, she is used to being alone. This is also an effect of the fact that her own family considered her as a disgrace to them due to her not being as academically smart or athletic as her brothers. They even went as far as telling her to isolate herself from them and email them if they needed anything. A Magical Girl who is always thinking negative thoughts, she was ostracised by her family and by the people around her, and thus she never gained any real confidence in herself. But she is gentle to others, which leads her to submit to the will of those who can be confident in their own abilities, and she is always content to serve quietly and obediently at their side.

## Abilities

Due to the nature of her wish, Sana is completely invisible and silent to humans except other magical girls and Persona-Users. This form of invisibility can be used to help Sana escape from difficult situations or to obscure her image from other people to make them oblivious to her presence, this form of invisibility can't even be detected as her magical signatures are also obscured. It is unknown wether Sana can make others invisible through enchanting them or through physical contact but one can assume if she learnt to do this it would be possible for her ability to extend to other individuals.

Sana is able to utilise her shield for defence and Sana herself is quite armoured, allowing for increased endurance during combat or allowing her a better chance to protect her allies. Her shield is also able to summon various instruments of lethal capabilities such as pendulums with axes on the end, drills, pliers, chains and many more weapons. She can seemingly summon these instruments on command.

When her soul gem turns black, her doppel, Theresia comes forth. Theresia is a notoriously dangerous doppel as one side of it contains a large axe which can be spun around by the doppel very quickly to attack enemies with. The doppel can also summon spiked shields to send forth at it's enemies to attack them with, though the primary threat is the liquid the doppel always produces as it can quickly gather into masses around enemies which can leave them immobile. The liquid damages it's enemies over time and eventually explodes.

## Doppel Description

"The Doppel of Transparency. Its form is an Interrogation Chair. The master of this emotion feels both pain and satisfaction from her Doppel's form. The main body of this Doppel is not the chair, but an invisible entity that is tortured endlessly while sitting atop it. This transparent Doppel uses its own blood to attack its enemies; however, it is not so easily controlled, and should the visible Doppel emerge from its master's right ear instead of the invisible one that typically appears from her left ear, it will scream and go on a rampage, swinging its guillotine at allies and enemies alike."

## Relationship

### Iroha Tamaki

Sana's first friend. Sana is delighted to have a magical girl like Iroha who has always looked after and cared for her that Sana often sees Iroha as another big sister.

### Futaba Sakura

Sana's Persona-Users best friend. Sana and Futaba are very close as the two were in the same environment before they met. Sana is delighted that a Persona-User like Futaba can see her apart from other magical girls.

## Trivia

* The characters in her last name mean "two" (二) and "leaf" (葉), respectively.
* Persona-Users such as Phantom Thieves of Hearts, Investigation Team, and Shadow Operatives could see Sana in addition to the other Magical Girl.
* Her Doppel's name, Theresia, may be a reference to Maria Theresa, 18 century female ruler of the Habsburg dominions or the *Constitutio Criminalis Theresiana*, the code of law published by her in 1768. The code standardizes the methods of torture, in order to regulate and limit the arbitrary use of torture. The statutory volume contains illustrations of torture devices, but there doesn't seem to be an illustration of the torture chair.
