Biography

 * Music: "The Almighty"

Ameno-sagiri is introduced close to the end of the story. After the Investigation Team confronts the real culprit to the murders that had happened in Inaba, he escapes to Midnight Channel, spawning the dungeon called Magatsu Inaba. When the team manages to catch up and defeat him, his unconscious self was possessed by Ameno-sagiri.

Ameno-sagiri, which name means the "fog of rain", heralds itself as the granter of mankind's desires, and it believes that what it does - enveloping the town in fog and turning people into Shadows - is what mankind desire. Mankind, it thought, wishes to stop the "suffering"s they face in their daily lives, and by turning into Shadows, they will wander the endless fog, oblivious of their existence.

However, it had not foresee mankind's "hidden potential" - the ability to summon Personas - that had manifest within the Team. Curious of this potential, it challenged the Team to see how far this potential may go. After the fight ends, Ameno-sagiri withdraws along with the fog it swept over Inaba, congratulating the "children of the new potential" and understanding their desire to continue living, but warns that it will continue to observe and watch mankind.
