Audio Drama Reading of The Mask Shatters - A Persona 5 Royal Fanfic Master Casting Call
MidoriReikoVA 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!
Ooooh, not bad. So far, no one aside from one other person has been able to do Makoto justice. This sounds great! The time casting for this character is getting close, so you may hear from us soon!
Thank you very much!
you suit Makoto soo good!
Thanks! I really gave it my best!
Honestly I had already made my decision days ago but I had to be fair for other auditions. Check your PMs for the link!
