Audio Drama Reading of The Mask Shatters - A Persona 5 Royal Fanfic Master Casting Call
OakleafHeron for Makoto Niijima
Canon Character
Name Pronunciation: Mah-Koh-Toe Nee-Jee-Mah
Makoto Niijima is a third year high school student living in Tokyo, Japan. She isn't a very big part of the story until the second act, of which there are about 8 in the base game, 9 in Royal. She is toted before her first major appearance as a highly intelligent, a very diligent, and a very disliked student in the academy. Disliked because, as her role as Student Council President makes it seem, she is seen as a teacher's pet and wannabe detective like her big sister, Sae.
Despite the fact she seems like a wannabe, she is shown to be a very shrewd detective in her own right as she is set on the path of determining the identity of the Phantom Thieves, who are none other than the protagonist and his friends. She is able to correctly and accurately deduce their identities within their first few meetings and is able to hold them at ransom at one point before deciding she had a lot in common with them and join their team.

I'm Makoto Niijima, I'm a 17 year old student living in Tokyo, Japan, but I turn 18 soon after the story of Persona 5 begins. I'm a rather intelligent person who loves the boyish side of life such as aikido and yakuza movies but I hide this stuff because society looks down upon it. When I actually become relevant to the plot of Persona 5, I am a hardass antagonist but I eventually come to an understanding with the other main characters and join their team as, *ahem*.... The Fist of the Phantom Star....
I can't believe I said that...
(Normal Conversation Dialogue) It's possible, but really, we need to consider other alternative solutions.
(Battlecry - You are summoning your persona) Persona!
I'm not comfortable with swearing, so I altered the script a bit. I hope that's okay!
Perfectly OK, considering I can't recall many instances where she swears - however the one time she does is rather significant in both her story and the plot of the game so - if casted - that's something to discuss. I only added it in because I wanted to have fun with the audition lines. This isn't too bad, and looking over your profile it seems you have experience with this. Your name will be added to a candidate document and when either the deadline comes and goes or a sufficient number of auditions have been received, the casting process will begin. Thank you for your interest!
