“In nomine Patris, et Filii, et Spiritus Sancti: kiss my ass!”

On the surface, Mio appears to be a patient and understanding sister of the church whose presence helps keep things humming along at the perennially under-manned and under-funded St. Bernadette's Cathedral in Sumaru City's Aoba Ward. This is something of a ruse, as the Church does not shell out sufficiently for the kinds of bills she has to pay and holds a curiously small number of actual services. By night, she's the reckless street racer and emergency-driver-for-hire Kijin Myo, services for sale to anyone with the street smarts needed to make contact. To make matters worse, Mio is also the estranged bastard daughter of Liberal-Democratic Party member Saito Takahashi, a man of unimpressive talent but voracious political ambition who has practically inherited a safe prefectural seat in rural Inaba. Having survived two attempts on her life thus far from the man, Mio's purpose has become a bitter quest for the kind of power, money, or infamy needed to get back at her dad and kick over the whole rotten framework that gives men like him such power over the world. Beneath the smile and the good cheer is a wounded hound on a snapped leash, whose passion and energy is easily taken advantage of.

Background

The abridged edition: Mio is the maladjusted daughter of LDP Politician Saito Takahashi and the late Kaori Kazama, center for the 1990's idol group "3SHINE". She had a cheery childhood despite her father's complete absence, with her mother's two co-stars stepping in as aunts to help manage things since the two never actually married. Things went badly once Mio reached adolescence, her politically ambitious father moving to rub out a loose end from his past by arranging for a convenient car crash to take care of the two. Mio survived, and was shepherded through high school under strict guard until she was deemed a political risk to her conservative father's ascension and taken away to be put out to pasture.

Mio was subsequently rescued by friends of her mother who revealed that the whole gang had really been investigating paranormal mysteries with the idol thing as a (relatively successful) cover/hobby, and there's a whole 'nother story in there we don't have time to tell. One last assassination attempt for the road fell flat, as Mio and her rescuers were waylaid in a supernatural space in Sumaru City where everything boiled over and awoke Mio to the idea that maybe she should stop being nice and start throwing bricks through reality's (metaphorical) windows (maybe this is also literal).

One year and change later, and Mio now masquerades as a friendly young nun in a church in Sumaru City. It's all a front, of course, the head priest there is also an old friend of her mom's. The young hellraiser wants to live hard and take explosive revenge on the world in equal measure - her heart is in the right place, but passion is something easily manipulated...

St. Bernadette's Cathedral

A serene oasis amidst the fashionable bustle of Aoba, St. Bernadette's is a slightly small but picturesque church nestled a stone's throw from some of Sumaru's elite financial consultancies.

Spires of snowy white with brass finery rise above vibrant emerald lawns, and the city's murmurs fade to barely a whisper inside the church proper. Bernadette's is a relatively recent construction, built in the last 10~15 years, but everyone seems to have trouble putting a finger on when it actually was constructed, or what occupied the property before work started on it. As the Anglican faith is not exactly widespread in Sumaru, let alone in Japan, it tends to see more visitors from tourists or students looking for a place to read in quiet, rather than pews packed full of the faithful. This doesn't seem to bother the head priest, a fashionably tussled-looking gentleman in his mid-30's by the name of Father Ryosuke Sato. Father Sato is an unusual character who usually does his work behind closed doors, pops his collar, and wears large square aviator sunglasses indoors. Mio helps him run the church as a 'nun', really more of a gofer who is an whiz behind the wheel and wields supernatural power as a Persona-user. As you might surmise, the whole operation is a front and a safe grounds for a tight-knit group whose found-family ties reach back almost 20 years into the past.

But the church's doors are open to anyone caring to walk through them, so long as as they don't cause trouble, and you could do worse in a search for neutral ground than to try and get the weirdos at Bernadette's to mediate. If nothing else, they boast an impressive safety record: nobody has died in there yet, so come try the punch and get in line for a confession.

Season 1, Episode 1

Persona

Samson is a famous Biblical figure best known for praying to God in his final, captured hours for the strength to wreck house in the temple of Dagon, thus, fatally bringing the temple down on himself and his assailants. One might expect such a figure to be a very offensively focused combatant with an over-reliance on overwhelming physical force.

Samson is a tall, broad-shouldered figure of inky black, clad in a torn robe of flowing quicksilver and a brilliant red bandana whose long and flowing folds double as a scarf. It can be hard to tell, sometimes, where the figure’s head of spiked red hair ends and the bandana begins. Each arm also bears an oversized manacle of battered iron linked together by a silvery chain. Though the figure is obviously masculine in stature and humanoid in shape, it has no discernable facial features and its body is silky smooth, almost plastic in appearance.
