Persona 6/Green

"Well, well, well... you've certainly kept me waiting for quite some time, haven't you? I was beginning to think you'd never meet me! you came so close so many times and yet every time you failed... but now that you've finally succeeded, we can finally officially begin. Tell me, do you know who I am...? mm... I suppose it doesn't matter either way. You'll find out in just a few seconds... now confirm our pact... I am thou... and thou art I."

- Ezekiel to Green

The protagonist of Persona 6 (often called Green) is a 16 to 17-year-old high school student who moves to Tokyo after their father gets a new job. Green's personality is shaped by the player themselves, but the personality they show on their own is that of a quiet and intelligent, if somewhat ditzy, student.

Later on in the game, they begin helping people after being transported to the parallel world known as .New, which lives inside of people's computers and is a digital recreation of a person's soul. On their journies, they also encounter the mysterious Igor, who is in charge of a place called the Velvet Room, which shapes itself after Green.

Design
Green is intentionally androgynous, having very feminine facial features contrasted by a more masculine body. They also have long brown hair that they don't change from the moment they wake up and brownish-gold eyes. While not at school, they wear a mostly green coat, though it is black from their elbows and below, and a pair of jeans. They sometimes take off their jacket and reveal they wear a black and pink tank top underneath.

Their school uniform is the same as everyone else's, being a button-up black jacket, though they don't wear the bottom part of the uniform, wearing their jeans instead (as to keep their gender ambiguous, as girls wear skirts). They rarely change their outfit, only ever doing it in specific situations, such as exercising, where they remove their jacket.

The only time they completely change their uniform is during snowy days in the winter, where they wear an extra padded jacket with a hood over their normal one for warmth. They also keep ear muffs around their neck and put them on when they are outside.

Near the end of the game, Kazuya Kitazawa starts using Green's home street as a base of operations in order to inconvenience the team and so Green tries to get back into their home wearing a black hoodie and a surgical mask to hide their identity from any guards that spot them.

In Persona 6: Dancing Under the Moon they once again wear two jackets, their usual green sweater jacket and a grey zipper underneath it. Both jackets are unzipped, revealing their pink and black shirt underneath. They also wear yellow-tinted glasses and have headphones around their neck.

Personality
As per usual, Green is a silent protagonist whose personality is shaped by the player. However, they do seem to have some personality that is brought up throughout the game. They appear to be a shut-in, as their father says that before the move they spent most of their time on the internet and never went outside too much. In the Japanese version of the game, Green's father goes as far as to call them a "hikikomori", which in Japan is someone that recoils from society and doesn't enjoy speaking to people.

The internet and technology mean so much to Green that even Igor brings it up, mentioning the fact that "a person whose life is dominated by technology created a very interesting Velvet Room". Throughout the game, they are seen using their phone and computer less and less, instead choosing to hang out with their friends in real life.

Their face remains mostly emotionless throughout the game and it is brought up as a big deal whenever they smile. The anime adaptation of the game takes this and runs with it, having Green's face very rarely change and making them flatly respond to people in a monotone voice no matter what they're saying.

Trivia

 * To keep their gender ambiguous, they are almost always referred to with gender-neutral pronouns. To go along with this, they are always referred to with the honorific "san", which can be used to mean both mister and misses.
 * Green's most commonly used "real name", Hikari Nakajima (光 中島) has a meaning behind it, as Hikari (光) means "light", which is their main Persona, Ezekiel's skill. Nakajima (中島) can mean "middle" (中) and "island" (島) meaning if their surname is put before their last name (which is common in Japan), their name can read "the middle of the island of light."
