Profile
It's a large building with a swimming pool, a newly remodeled gym and several extracurricular clubs such as Ballet and Archery. The uniform is grey and white. The school's Drama club has a long history of putting on performances of The Snow Queen, a play by Hans Christian Andersen- however, every girl who played the lead role (and worn the Snow Queen Mask) died in unusual circumstances.
During the SEBEC route of Persona the school is the only place in Mikage-cho that isn't infested by demons. But in the Snow Queen Quest, it's transformed into a four-towered castle covered in ice.
In Persona 2, several students from St Hermelin can be seen around Sumaru City. In the PSP edition, the first two Theatre episodes take place in St. Hermelin. Maya Amano is sent to investigate the successful Class 2-3, ran by Mr Kariyazaki. She takes Tatsuya Suou, Lisa Silverman and Eikichi Mishina as 'assistants'. (Since you can attempt the episode with either Jun Kurosu or Yukino Mayuzumi, neither of them have dialogue or appear outside battles.) However, the true story behind the classroom is much darker...
