—Bai Suzhen, Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Survivor 2

Bai Suzhen or Hakujoushi (Japanese: ハクジョウシ) is a recurring demon in the series.

History

Bai Suzhen (Chinese: 白素貞), also known as Bai Niang Zi (Chinese: 白娘子, "White Lady"), was a snake demon who sought to become a goddess in the Chinese Legend of the White Snake. She fell in love with a human man and sought to marry him, but was sealed away in a deep well at the Leifang Pagoda. Her appearance and demeanor varies from monstrous and savage to kind and gentle in various retelling of the story.

Profile

Shin Megami Tensei IMAGINE

Bai Suzhen was implemented during the Shinjuku Under Wonder Ground event, obtainable through a summon PG drop.

Shin Megami Tensei: Strange Journey

"The heroine of the Chinese tale of the white snake. She appears as a human.
She was originally portrayed as an atrocious monster who charmed and ate young men, but was later depicted as a sad girl who falls in love with a human and is tormented by the difference in their natures."

—Shin Megami Tensei: Strange Journey Compendium

Shin Megami Tensei IV

Bai Suzhen appears in the New Game Plus Challenge Quest, Demon-Haunted Man. She is trying to track down Master Eric and is on the 2nd Stratum of Naraku. In the battle she warns Flynn to get out of her way. She questions why he would stop her as she is defeated and asks if Eric had ordered it. She reveals that her and Eric had been in love and that he threw her away, telling him of how they promised they would be together forever and that she was ready to throw everything away for him. She will never forgive Eric and it is Flynn's choice whether to finish her or not.

Devil Survivor 2

"The heroine of the Chinese tale of the white snake. She appears as a human.
She was originally portrayed as an atrocious monster who charmed and ate young men, but was later depicted as a sad girl who falls in love with a human and is tormented by the difference in their natures."

—Devil Survivor 2 Compendium

She is first seen killing Daichi in a death clip received by the protagonist and Io after the group escapes from Dubhe. After the two reunite with Daichi, they attempt to persuade him to move somewhere else to try and prevent the Death Clip from coming true. Ignorant of his predicted death, Daichi attempts to rest against a small shrine, accidentally unlocking the seal and releasing Bai Suzhen. Makoto appears and orders the group to use the Summoning App to help her fight. After defeating all the demons, Makoto seals the area once more.

Bai Suzhen is similar to Wendigo from Devil Survivor, due to the fact that she is the first demon outside of the first contract battle that talks and requires, without excessive effort, a temporary outside party member to defeat her unless the player is using a New Game+ file.

In Devil Survivor 2: Record Breaker, Bai Suzhen is one of the initial three demons that must be defeated in the first battle of the Triangulum Arc.
