yoshino chidori

Chidori is the third member of Strega, recognized for her gothic lolita dress style, self-harming tendencies, and artistic talent. In combat, she wields a red chained hand-axe. She is Fuuka's counterpart on the Strega team and uses Medea's ability to radiate energy to prevent Strega from being detected by Fuuka's Personas. Similar to Takaya, Chidori exhibits unusual Persona abilities, such as healing people and manifesting Medea outside of the Dark Hour. Chidori and Junpei meet by chance at Port Island Station. Initially very unpleasant to Junpei because he keeps interrupting her sketching, she eventually opens up to him due to his kindness and persistence. At the same time, Junpei confides in her about SEES without knowing that she is a member of Strega. Chidori comes to believe that Junpei is SEES' leader. During a full moon, Chidori kidnaps Junpei, thinking he has the authority to call off SEES' mission to kill the Arcana Shadows. When this plan fails, she is wounded and ends up imprisoned in a Kirijo-controlled hospital. Mitsuru and Akihiko attempt to interrogate her but meet with little success. Junpei continues to visit Chidori in the hospital, and they grow closer. He is very concerned about her capacity for self-harm. However, after faking his death, Takaya returns to remind her where she truly belongs. Chidori is broken out of the hospital and rejoins Strega. Yet, her loyalties begin to falter when she is forced to fight Junpei, and when he is wounded by Takaya, she realizes her love for him. She sacrifices her life to save his through the use of her Persona, giving Junpei some of her Persona's regenerative power, specifically the passive skill Spring of Life which restores HP every turn. After her death, Junpei inherits her sketchbook, filled with drawings of him. In the Persona 3: FES expansion, it is possible for the player to revive Chidori later in the game if certain requirements are met.
