Profile
In Persona 3, when certain Personas are created, there is a chance that Igor will inform the player that the Persona is bearing an item, which can be obtained by raising (leveling) the Persona. After the first time it occurs, the subject "Item Bearing" will appear in the Talk menu. Personas that potentially bear items are not indicated during Persona creation, however any in the player's stock will have a Heart icon next to their name on their status screen. To receive the item, the Persona must be leveled until it learns its last skill. Personas created with an item can be registered in the Compendium, and purchased again later so that obtaining multiple copies of the item is not left to chance. Note that Personas gained from Shuffle Time cannot produce Heart Items.
