"Who even gives a shit about art? Absolute dolts who like feeling smart. People with pointless lives. You do it for representation? To speak for the unheard? There's a reason nobody listens to street trash. All you've done is hide your self-gratification with a punk-flavored sugar coating of empathy."
Jerri is the main antagonist of the Repaint Your Heart DLC in Persona 5 Tactica. She is heavily implied to be a minion of Salmael, and takes the form of a pink cockatoo that can speak human language and works with Guernica. In actuality, she is using Guernica for her own ends.

Personality[]
Jerri is a deceitful and manipulative evil deity. Initially posing as a sidekick of Guernica, Jerri quickly shows who's in charge as she's the one ordering Guernica and corrupting her to bring forth worldwide destruction. Despite her claims that her plan to eradicate humanity is Guernica's own will, the truth is that she brainwashed her and wiped out her memories before programming her own beliefs onto her. She's also scared that Guernica will break free, and her "lord" will disapprove of her methods had they found out. After Guernica is restored back to normal, the street artist does not hesitate to team up with the Phantom Thieves and turn against her.
She holds no regard towards Guernica's artistic talent or human art in general and openly looks down on them, and only supported and encouraged Guernica for the sake of unleashing mass death and destruction.
However, Jerri does have a shred of honor; she gracefully accepts her banishment after her boss is dissatisfied of her failure and extreme methods.
Profile[]
Persona 5 Tactica[]
Jerri's origins are unknown and the protagonist, Akechi and Yoshizawa never find out what she actually is. However, based on her claims that she was serving a "Lord" and she returns to report to her boss in an area resembling Salmael's Kingdom after being defeated, it can be inferred that she is a servant of Salmael. She shares a mutual goal with Salmael; delivering eternal tranquility upon humanity. However, instead of capturing and eradicating the next presidential candidate, she instead captures and manipulates a street artist known as Guernica, wiping out her memories and turning her into a bloodthirsty maniac who will annihilate humanity through inciting chaos through her street art.
The phantom thieves, consisted of the protagonist, Akechi and Yoshizawa meet Jerri alongside Guernica, who was slaughtering the cognitive residents of the street. At first Akechi asked her a way to go back out, but Yoshizawa insisted that they stop hurting those people first. Jerri orders Guernica to attack the party and insists that she desired to destroy the world on her own volition despite this not being the truth. Once they beat her, Guernica gets frustrated and asks Jerri to take them down. She surrounds them with a group of Legionnaires and was about to take them out before a manhole created by Luca drops them underground.
Jerri was encountered independently from Guernica when the Phantom Thieves and Luca were about to steal Guernica's first mural. She offers to send the party home if they give Luca to her, which was met with swift rejection. As a response, she summons a Mad Slammer to deal with them, followed by a swarm of shadows, forcing them to escape through a manhole Luca created and dropped the mural in.
Throughout the story, more and more of Jerri's true intentions show. She corrupts and molds Guernica into being her weapon to eradicate humanity, and in a side conversation, complains about how "her lord" won't agree to her extreme measures. Her control towards Guernica also fades as more murals are stolen, something that made her uncomfortable.
After collecting all three murals, Luca absorbs the three murals she collected and opens a manhole into Jerri's base, a clean-cut museum in stark contrast to the graffiti-filled streets. Jerri unleashes a completely berserk Guernica against the party, only for Luca to snap her out of her brainwashing by persuading her and calling her by her real name. It was at this point where Jerri attempts to kill the entire party in her true form, a marble, avian statue.
Despite Jerri blocking the party's way with black paint, Guernica will be assisting the party against her by dropping paint and paint buckets. The fight still proves to be difficult for the Phantom Thieves, but Guernica mocks her of her lack of full control towards her kingdom based on her inability to directly eradicate Luca's copy, then defaces her with her paintball gun and splatters the entire floor with paint, allowing them to deal the finishing blow. After her defeat, she refuses to give the identity of her lord when asked to, stating that she is not allowed to reveal their identity, then vanishes after expressing disbelief of her losing to something trivial like art.
Jerri was later found to have been returned to what is implied to be Salmael's Kingdom. She reports to her boss, who was dissatisfied about her violent approach and failure and sends her back to the void, something she gracefully accepts.

Trivia[]
- The fight against Jerri does not contain any Navigator dialogue, since the only available navigator, Luca already sacrificed herself for Guernica's memories. Guernica herself does not have any navigator dialogue despite being present in the fight.
- Jerri's pre-transformation model has four toes like an actual parrot, but her portrait has her only have three.
