Appearances

 * Persona 3 Portable: Protagonist

Persona 3 Portable
She is the new playable character beside the male protagonist, her backstory is the same as his and she also begins her story when she transfers to Gekkoukan.

However, unlike with the male protagonist route, her story can be slightly altered. If she initiates the Moon Social Link with Shinjiro Aragaki and maxes it before the next Full Moon Operation, his demise on October 4th will not happen, and will instead be in a coma for the rest of the game. During the last days of the female protagonist's route, a student will speak of his discharge from the hospital.

Trivia

 * Her main weapon is a Naginata that inflicts slash attacks, and she cannot use other weapons.
 * She is visually similar to Persona 2's Lisa Silverman.
 * She is the polar opposite of the male protagonist. Her Persona is gold, while his is a pale silver, her eyes are red, while his are blue, etc. She's also shown to have a cheery disposition. She also has the same pair of headphones, albeit in a red color.
 * The in-game interface while using the female protagonist is red, rather than blue.
 * The barrettes in her hair can be seen as the roman numeral "XXII", which corresponds to the Fool arcana (The Fool may be either 0 or 22) and is used to indicate that she is a new character (Persona 3 originally had 21 characters, the female protagonist is the 22nd). It's true that the Fool Arcana can be XXII or 0, but his true number (according to G O Mebes, one of the greatest Mystic Master, Russian master: it's impossible to find his work on English - but it can be find in Russia, China and Brasil) is XXI, and World Arcana (or AEon, for Thoth deck of Crowley) is XXII. The 0 number cannot be accepted as true number for the arcana; the Tarot was give into birth in ancient Egypt, and the 0 number was to be 'discovered'. According to G O Mebes the 0 number can be given to Fool because the 0 means a exceptional condition of being, and the Fool Arcana is a exceptional arcana.
 * She is dubbed as MShe/FeMC/Minako Arisato by U.S. fans and Hamuko (ハム子 / 公子) by Japanese fans, loosely interpreting the last Kanji character for shujinkou (主人公) as Katakana. This refers to the early official P3P screen shot in which her name is written "主人 公子" or Shujin Kouko (with "ko" as a usual suffix for female names). Users of the 2ch forum and Pixiv (much like Elfwood) suggests that her appearance is reminiscent of the cute fictional hamster named Hamtaro.
 * There will be Social Links that are only available to her.
