Character Information

Character Name: Saki Konishi
Character Series: Persona 4
Character Age: She’s a third year in high school, so 17-18
Character Gender: Female
Original Canon (Delete whichever is not applicable)
Canon Point: Just before her Shadow kills her
Background Link: Here
Personality: Saki is, on the outside, a very warm and open girl, making friends even with the town outcast, Yosuke. She is said to view him the same as her brother (much to Yosuke’s disappointment), and she even teases him and seems to genuinely want him to make friends. She looks out for him, so to speak.

However, beneath the surface is the real Saki. And it’s not a pretty picture.

The trip to the Midnight Channel reveals that because of her job at Junes, she is facing a lot of backlash. Her neighbors talk about her behind her back, saying nasty things. Her father even berates her, not understanding why she works at “the enemy’s.” A possible reason is provided in Yosuke’s Social Link, but is never confirmed. It is more likely she was working at Junes to help her family make ends meet, as she is shown to care for them as seen in her brother’s Social Link.

However, this means Saki is a very tired and vulnerable girl, secretly despairing and heavily stressed. She is shown to be secretly full of many insecurities, especially when it comes to her job and in relation to Yosuke. Which is where we get into things with the Midnight Channel.

Despite the voice of Saki stating she hates Yosuke, it is likely this voice is actually remnants of Saki’s Shadow and thus an exaggeration of her fears and actual feelings. (It should be noted the voices literally started after Yosuke wondered aloud what Saki went through.) Therefore, it is not likely she actually hated him, but rather resented his connection to Junes and feared that she would come to hate him like everything else. Her own insecurities meant she didn’t see many reasons for her to deserve good things.

These insecurities, however, do not keep her from doing the right thing. She very easily catches on that Adachi is up to something, and still refuses his advances. This strength is ultimately what gets her killed.

Also, it should be noted that, as revealed by her hiding things, she is not one who seems to want others to bear the burden of her pain. So she tries to bear it silently, leading to furthering her stress levels in an endless feedback loop that torments her.
Abilities: None. Saki is a normal human being. However, it should be noted that, as with everyone in Persona 4 who enters the Midnight Channel, she can potentially wield a Persona of the Empress Arcana—if she could face her Shadow again and accept it.
