Digital Devil Saga

The leader of the Maribel tribe. She is portrayed as an awkward individual who is confused with concepts that arise after having gained 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.

Very early into the game, Jinana comes into picture when the 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 Solid's 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 Solid's 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 acknowledges Argilla as a comrade. Argilla and company leave her uneaten out of respect.

After all opposing forces have left, Bat comes out of hiding and devours the remains of Jinana's body.

Digital Devil Saga 2

Jinana briefly appears as Solar Data in the Sun. Depending on Serph's decisions early in the first game regarding working with Jinana, Argilla may inherit Jinana's distinct expel skill, Seraph Lore.

Etymology

The name Jinana is probably derived from the Sanskrit Jnana which primarily means "knowledge".
