Aquamarine showcases Rise's versatility in this mesmerizing scale figure. The figure takes its design from an official Dancing All Night illustration. Rise stands with her hips tilted to the side. She brings her left hand to her lips, framing them between her fingers. Her Arabian-inspired attire drapes and flows around her body with a seemingly weightless quality. The paint details feature a gradual shading of periwinkle and light pink, mimicking the color of a twilight sky. The bronze-gold metallic accents range from rigid and structural to delicate, as seen on the fringe of her scarves.

About Rise Kujikawa

Rise Kujikawa is a first-year student at Yasogami High School and a member of the Investigation Team. Before the events of the game, Rise worked as a popular idol known as "Risette."

Background

On the surface, Rise appears to be a cheerful, outspoken, and slightly arrogant teenager. However, beneath the surface, she harbors deep insecurities and a sweet, sensitive nature. This doesn't stop her from flirting with the boys around her or overreacting to her troubles. Although she claimed to have returned to Inaba for health reasons, Rise struggles with her idol career. She fears she has lost sight of her identity and that people only value her false idol image. Although she teases her friends, she cares deeply for them and will quickly rush to protect them if necessary.

SKILLS

As an idol, Rise has developed skills in singing, dancing, and acting. After awakening her Persona, Himiko, Rise joins the team as a Navigation. She can detect enemy weaknesses and reveal the effectiveness of attacks in battle. After battles, she can heal party members' HP and SP based on her level. In Persona 4: Golden, Rise can join the party in an all-out attack by increasing the attack's damage output.

Other important characters in Persona 4

Rise interacts with many characters throughout the series. Here's a brief overview of some important characters.

Kanji Tatsumi

Kanji Tatsumi is a first-year student at Yasogami High School who joins the investigation team just before Rise. Although he resembles a delinquent, Kanji only adopted his outward appearance due to his insecurities. His interest in traditionally feminine hobbies leads him to question his masculinity and overcompensate in response. By confronting his shadow, Kanji embraces his inner self and begins to reconcile his identity crisis. As fellow first-years, Kanji and Rise spend time together during their free time, with Rise often acting as Kanji's social buffer.

Teddy bear

Teddie is an anthropomorphic, bear-like Shadow from the Midnight Channel. Teddie introduces the Investigation Team to the Midnight Channel and provides them with the goggles they need to navigate the thick fog. Initially, Teddie serves as the team's navigation and the game's comic relief. When confronting Shadow Rise, Teddie sacrifices himself and reveals his own Shadow in the process. After the team defeats both Shadows, Teddie grows closer to his human friends, gaining a human form and his own Persona. Rise resumes his role as the team's navigator.
