Canon: Persona 3 (Portable) (The original canon is considered Persona 3, the portable versions was released as an enhanced port to the PSP of the original with the inclusion of a female character. Either will be fine for Aigis. )
Character: Aigis
Timeline: December 1st, before her fight with Ryoji.
Personality:

"a machine is created for a purpose, mine is to defeat you. "

Upon her introduction on the island of Yakushima, Aigis is shown to be a relatively emotionless character, not unlike the machine she was designed to be. She does not understand jokes or sarcasm, and takes everything that is said at face-value. However, Aigis is by all means a very human machin with the potential to become as human-like and "alive" as possible. This is a factor within her that needs to be nurtured, however. Although Aigis represents the Aeon Arcana the game, the Social link that is required is not formed until after Christmas. Before this period, Aigis remains very functional and cold in the sense that she simply seems robotic. Aigis does not develop human emotions until after she has her fight with Ryoji. After she is returned from repairs, however, Aigis begins to show a full range of emotions, and slowly changes from her machinery to humanity.

"You are dangerous."

Aigis has a strong sense of duty and takes her responsibilities as a Anti-Shadow weapon seriously. Although her first battle with death resulted in failure, she contineud to engage and chase him. When Ryoji Mochizuki, Death, shows up, Aigis is immediately guarded, telling him that he is dangerous and warns the protagonist to stay away from him. The ten year gap between these two fights, however, show that Aigis has not forgotten her initial mission. Though she may spend her time with SEES or the protagonist, she remains wary around Ryoji, regardless of what the protagonist or SEES might say, eventually chasing him down and forcing him to reveal his true identity. By doing so, Aigis shows a more callous way in her actions. Whereas a human might be more careful about how they deal with the knowledge, Aigis goes in immediately for the kill and gets herself critically injured in the process injured in the process.

"My highest priority is to be with you."

Many of her emotions are initially brought out by the Protagonist. From their first meeting, Aigis is immediately attached to him after confirming that this is the same boy that she encountered ten years ago on the Moonlight Bridgebridge. She immediately feels the desire to "be with him", and stay by his side at even the earliest opportunities and as much as possible. This may be a result of how responsible she feels for sealing death into him, and watches him because she is afraid that Death will eventually overcome him. She feels protective around this boy and declares that she would be "happiest" with him, believeing in some part that she is the only person who is able to defeat the shadow, Death, but also because her mission will be accomplished this way. The bond that Aigis shares with the protagonist is the expression of what it means for a robot to become human,

Through her optional social link, starting in January, the protagonist helps Aigis recognize what it is to be fully human, eventually culminating in what might be interpreted as love. Throughout these events, Aigis becomes more and more human, doubting how human she is and smiling more often while she is with him. She learns the value of emotion and begins to question her emotions. She also starts developing feelings for the protagonist, stating that she grows more timid around him. She learns the value of "loneliness" and what it means to live, stating that she believes the value of human bonds and the value of life, expressing sadness when she fears leaving the protagonist.

"How would you classify the facility known as 'school'?"

Perhaps because of her inexperience with the world, Aigis expresses naivety and acknowleges that there are many things she does not know. She is like a curious child in this way, either misunderstanding things or having to ask the protagonist or other members of SEES for advice or recognition. Throughout the game, she suggests to the protagonist or other members of SEES that she would like to get involved in certain activities, yet lacks the capabilities (or humanity) to do so. Aigis is also unintentionally funny. Sometimes she says things as the wrong time, which leads to the misunderstanding of others (for example, a female dominated party with the male protagonist leads to a quip from Aigis remarking it as a harem). She means no harm by these statements, and expresses them as only an attempt to externalize the theory she has been taught.

The machine is also able to show guilt and fear. In her fight with Ryoji, Aigis states that she is scared because she cannot protect the protagonist.

Aigis does not show emotions of jealousy throughout the game toward the protagonist. If the protagonist dates another girl while going through her social link, Aigis does not get mad or angry at him for it. She does display jealousy towards a boy named Kiyoshi, however, because she is not human, no matter how much she wishes to do so. She is jealous because she cannot die.

"I am Aigis, I have been designed to fight Shadows."

May 1999. Aigis is an 7th Anti-Shadow Suppression Weapon created by the Kirijo group in order to fight rouge monsters called Shadows that sometimes escape Kirijo holdings. Aigis is tasked with the duty of eliminating these monsters that have escaped through various means, one of which being her Persona, Palladion and various equipments she has been programmed with. Shortly after creation, she was transferred to a laboratory on Yakushima, where she would become familiar with the scientist Yuu Kimijima. Over the course of six days, Aigis learns to control her functions, receving her red ribbon from Yuu before she chases down the final shadow, Death, on to the Moonlight Bridge.

Aigis is able to corner Death on Tatsumi Port Island, engaging him in battle. In the process of fighting Death, however, Aigis found herself heavily wounded and unable to continue. In order to prevent death from causing more havoc upon the world, she sealed his essence into a young boy that was nearby (the protagonist of Persona 3). Doing so granted him the powerful ability of Persona as well as his strange ability to change personas in the midst of battle. She would collapse shortly after and be retrieved back to Yakushima, where she would remain for the first half the game. The huge accident on Moonlight Bridge would be brushed off as an accident and covered up by the Kirijo Group.

July 2009. While the protagonist of Persona 3 and his friends visit Yakushima as part of their Summer Break in July, Aigis, what should have been an "inoperable model" reactivates herself and spends much of the game following him. The protagonist, during his stay remarks that he feels like he is being watched or followed, though these feeligns subside relativly quickly. On the third day, the protagonist confronts Aigis through an attempt at picking up girls called "Operation Babe Hunt," while not knowing her identity. This causes Aigis to retreat from the beach into the forest, stating that she needs privacy to confirm who he is. The protagonist is then urged by his friends to follow her, where she throws her arms around him, stating that her highest priority is to be with him, much to the shock of his friends. She is brought back to the dorm to join the Special Extracirriculur Execution Squad, a group of Persona users dedicated to eliminating Shadows.

August 2009. Aigis participates in the monthly Full Moon mission with SEES to eliminate an especially large Shadow. In this case, there are two, Chariot, and Justice. In this full moon mission, SEES is acquainted with enemy persons users from Strega, who will become their enemies later on. Aigis remains largely content during this month. It is only towards the end of the month that Aigis tells the protagonist she feels concerned that school is starting --because she will not be able to stay by his side. Later, two members join SEES, the grade-schooler Ken Amada, and the dog, Koromaru.

September 2009. Aigis transfers into Gekkoukan, the high school that all the SEES members attend. Shortly after, an ex-member of SEES rejoins the group. The Full Moon missions follows- a shadow that is underground, while Junpei is kidnapped by Chidori, a member of Strega. SEES returns in time to capture Chidori.

October 2009
November 2009. Ikutsuki betrays SEES and brings them to Tartarus. Aigis is brainwashed into killing off the protagonist and his friends, only to be unable to fire at the last moment and instead firing their restraints. Ikutsuki jumps off Tartarus and falls to his death below

December 2009
Aigis confronts Ryoji on December 2nd, calling him out and attacks him, declaring him as Death, her original adversary. Then, she tells --

Aigis returns on December 30, trying to convince SEES to kill Ryoji.-
January 2009
March 2010. It is hinted that Aigis is the only person, other than the protagonist, who remembers the promise. From January to March, the protagonist lives his life without interference of the Dark Hour or bothering with Personae, but on Graduation Day, Aigis is the one to fetch the protagonist- for none of the others remember. On that day, Aigis is found on the roof with the protagonist instead of in the auditorium with the rest of SEES. They share a conversation about the value of spring as the protagonist dies in her arms with her promise that she will always protect him.

"i will always be by your side."
