Profile
Digital Devil Saga
The leader of the Maribel tribe. She is portrayed as an awkward individual who is confused by the very concepts of emotions after having awakened to her Atma Avatar. Although she does not explicitly describe herself as such, she is somewhat offput by the pointless loss of life that happened due to infighting in the Maribel tribe after the release of the Atma Virus before a semblance of control could be reasserted.
Jinana comes into picture when Embryon looks for a weak tribe to ally with. Jinana agrees but before actually sealing the deal, she forcefully tested Serph, Argilla, and Heat by having them run through their base while allowing hungry Maribel members attack the party. After reaching Gate 4 where she was situated, the party defeats the last line of defense: Bat. Leaving Bat uneaten, Argilla catches the eye of Jinana for her strange concepts of sadness and pacifism.
Having finally created an alliance with Embryon, she leads Maribel in a surprise attack against the front gate of Solids' Citadel to allow for Serph's group to infiltrate the citadel directly. However, due to Bat's betrayal, the attack fails and she is forced to fight the Solids' leader, Mick the Slug. Perhaps affected by her meeting with Argilla from before, she ended up devouring zero enemies throughout the fight with Mick's forces. Hungry and exhausted, she loses control of herself and attacks Serph's party. With no alternative in sight, the party kills Jinana out of self-defense. In her final moments, she accepts her death and acknowledges Argilla as a comrade.[1] Argilla and company decide to not devour her out of respect.
After opposing forces had left the area, Bat came out of hiding and devoured the remains of Jinana's body.
Digital Devil Saga 2
Jinana briefly appears as Solar Data in the Sun. If Serph decided in the first game that Embryon would ally with Maribel without betraying them, Argilla will inherit Jinana's distinct expel skill, Seraph Lore.
Etymology
The name Jinana is probably derived from the Sanskrit Jnana which primarily means "knowledge".
