The uncle could help the protagonist by teaching him about self - defense in a non - combat way. For example, teaching him how to read people's body language so he can avoid dangerous situations.
Well, their first encounter could happen in the library. The protagonist is looking for some information on the Metaverse and Makoto, being the studious type, is there already. She notices him searching through some rather strange books. Curiosity gets the better of her and she approaches him. He's a bit guarded at first, but as they start talking, they realize they might have more in common than they thought.
On their date in Tokyo, they could first go to a museum. Makoto loves learning and the protagonist would be happy to accompany her. They'd walk around, looking at the exhibits and discussing the art and history. Then, they'd go to a rooftop bar in Roppongi. They'd sit there, sipping on cocktails and looking out at the city lights. It would be a romantic and memorable day for both of them.
Well, identity is a big theme. Since the female protagonist is in a world mainly presented with a male lead in the original, exploring her own identity within that context is common. Also, there's the theme of justice. She, as a Phantom Thief, is fighting for justice in the fanfictions, just like in the game. There can be sub - themes related to her unique perspective on the targets they steal from, as she might approach them differently than the male lead would.
One of the main themes is her growth as a character. The fanfiction often delves into how she becomes stronger, not just in terms of combat abilities with her Persona, but also mentally and emotionally. For instance, how she overcomes the fear of losing her friends in battles against Shadows. Also, the theme of sacrifice is common, as she might have to make difficult choices to protect the world she lives in, similar to what she does in the game.
In 'Persona 4 Visual Novel', the gay persona might represent the diversity of the game's character creation and the exploration of different sexual orientations within the game's fictional world. It could add more depth to the relationships and storylines.
Perhaps the fanfiction focuses on the cultural clash between the two groups. The Persona 4 characters are from a small town, while the Persona 5 crew is from the big city. Their different ways of handling things and their unique Personas could lead to some interesting interactions. For example, Yu and Joker might have different leadership styles that they have to reconcile in order to succeed against the shadows.
One interesting plot could be the female protagonist exploring a new, mysterious dungeon that wasn't in the original game. It adds an element of surprise and adventure.
One idea could be exploring her relationships with the other characters in more depth. For example, how she bonds with Yosuke, Chie, and Yukiko outside of the main plot. Another idea is to create an alternate universe where she has different Persona abilities or a different backstory that changes the way she approaches the Midnight Channel mystery.
A popular pairing is with Yu. They both are the main characters and have a lot in common in terms of their roles in the story. Their relationship could be explored in a romantic or a deep platonic way. Another good pairing could be with Naoto. Since Naoto is also a very unique character, the two of them could bond over their different perspectives and skills, and there could be a great dynamic between them.
