Confidant

"It's like you forget where you are, Inmate. You've got some real guts though! With that spirit, you should have no trouble making progress!
Very well then... If you have the will to continue your penal labor, we can grant you greater freedom within this prison. It is a deal between us, the wardens, and you, the inmate."

—Caroline and Justine to the protagonist, Persona 5

This article covers information about the Strength Confidant, Caroline and Justine (listed in the Confidant menu as Twin Wardens until they become Lavenza, upon which she appears under her name), including events and skills featured in Persona 5 and Persona 5 Royal.

The protagonist can initiate the Strength Confidant as early as May 18th by entering the Velvet Room and showing them a Jack Frost with Mabufu any time after the mission for Madarame's Palace starts.

The requirements for ranking the Strength Confidant are different from a standard Confidant, as they require the protagonist to have certain Personas with certain skills. The twins are available at any time the protagonist can access the Velvet Room, and furthering the Confidant does not cause time to advance. The only restriction in ranking up the Confidant is the protagonist's Level and resources in the form of available Personas or funds. With the last request requiring a level 51 Persona, and keeping pace with the enemies in the Palaces, this Confidant can be completed by Okumura's Palace at the earliest.

However, the protagonist will have to do some additional fusion instead of recruiting Shadows in Palaces or Mementos, as some will require that they inherit skills from other Personas. Furthermore, the deadline of this Confidant is December 24, more specifically before confronting the Treasure of Mementos in the Depths of Mementos Shrine. After entering the Qliphoth World and beyond, the protagonist cannot advance this Confidant outside of an unintended exploit.

Completing Caroline and Justine's Confidant enables the fusion of Zaou-Gongen. Lavenza also gives the protagonist a Cell Key on 3/19, which unlocks all Velvet Room warden features once the protagonist establishes Caroline and Justine's Confidant in New Game Plus.

Dialogue Options

In Royal, similar to Elizabeth, Theodore and Margaret, the protagonist can go on outings with Caroline and Justine. Doing so will not advance the Confidant, but will reward the protagonist with one or more skill cards. However, in order to take the Twins to a specific location, the protagonist must first discover it himself. An outing is available whenever Justine is outside the Velvet Room.

The events are unlocked over time on certain dates, and are all queued in order. Certain events have a deadline and cannot be accessed afterwards, continuing with the next event in the queue if it is freed up. If the protagonist has cleared enough events from the queue and has brought the Twins to Café Leblanc, Lavenza can later be invited to the protagonist's room.

Trivia

• Once the protagonist has the required Persona, the Confidant Rank will advance if the Twins are spoken to (in Royal the option "Check penal status" must be selected) or if the protagonist re-enters the Velvet Room. If the protagonist has multiple Personas corresponding to the Rank requirements, each subsequent Rank's cutscene will trigger immediately after the previous Rank's cutscene is finished.
• After entering the Qliphoth World in Royal, the Confidant's description will change from "Twin Wardens" to "Lavenza," and the Confidant icon will become Lavenza to reflect the changes. A blue butterfly can also be seen passing by if the screen is left idle for some time.
• There is a glitch that allows the protagonist to rank up the Confidant even after the twins fuse back into Lavenza. The protagonist must have the required Persona, leave and re-enter the Velvet Room, talk to Igor, and then to Lavenza while selecting the dialogue option "I don't need anything." This will prompt the rank up.
