Rise is a character from the Persona franchise. She first appears in Persona 4 and has since appeared in a multitude of games such as Persona 4 Arena, Persona Q, and Dancing All Night. She is 15/16 in Persona 4 and represents the Lovers Arcana.
Rise was an idol with the stage name Risette before the game begins. During the story, she moves back to her tiny hometown where the game takes place. She lives with her grandmother and helps her tend to the Tofu Shop.
Rise struggles with the feeling that people don't like her or care about who she really is, only about her idol persona. This leads to some insecurities about who she is and if she'll be accepted for being who she is, which she struggles with and may overcome during the story.
Rise is a generally pretty upbeat girl, she's very silly and flirtatious, and also has a competitive side to her. Underneath she's actually a very caring and somewhat insecure young lady who cares about her friends and supports them in her own way.
Here's to you Rise!
