Wednesday DE: I am thou, thou art I

So, since Persona 5S has come out recently: In the Persona series, most or all of the player characters have a Persona, a reflection of their psyche who takes the form of a mythical, folkloric, literary, or historical figure.

What mythical/folkloric/literary/historical figure would your character's Persona be?

As Goemon is actually in Persona (and his user is a homage to Goemon from Lupin, just like Joker resembles Oscar, Sojiro is based off Jigen, and the Lupin Spotlight run is used in part of the opening -- there's a FUCKTON of Lupin the Third refs in Persona 5) it's not unreasonable for Zenigata to have his ancestor Zenigata Heiji as his Stand. He's going to be physical damage heavy, and have at least one special attack where he throws money at the enemy, therefore reducing your wealth AND homaging Zenigata Heiji's coin shot skills.

Lan Zhan is very obviously Ice or Holy aligned, and is likely an honored ancestor as well (possibly Lan Yi herself!) There's going to be a mad guqin solo skill somewhere.

Zuko is obviously elementally aligned, and he summons Agni, the Vedic god of Fire. He is all about purely offensive spells specializing in the Burn status effect, though it can eventually learn to inflict Rage, but offers curious resistance to Thunder.

Ahsoka gets the Daughter as her Persona.

Sabine...hmmm...Tarre Vizsla?

More later perhaps

'Arsène Lupin' would probably be too easy, and also not 100% accurate - Lupin III is bred out of the literary DNA of not just Lupin I but also James Bond, circa the most toxically masculine, sex having, casually murdering versions of the character. Also the persona Arsène is already in the game so I can't pick that one.

To get more folkloric, Lupin III's persona might be Sun Wukong/Son Gokū/The Monkey King, both because he kinda looks like a monkey and because he's got the whole nigh-indestructible egotistical trickster thief thing going on.

wait what do you mean he's also in the game
