While investigating Palaces, he encounters Ren has stuck with him since. Morgana is a hopeless romantic, fell in love with Ann Takamaki, referring to her as "Lady Ann", believing it to be chivalrous.

Ann tends to struggle academically, performing poorly in every subject except English, which she mainly aces due to being bilingual. She has a massive sweet tooth for food such as cake and crepes with "extra extra cream." Ann's personable nature allows her to get along extremely well with her friends in the Phantom Thieves, and acts as a mediator to needless infighting between members of the group, especially between Ryuji and Morgana.] [Yusuke Kitagawa: Yusuke is an art student from Kosei High School who becomes a member of the Phantom Thieves. He is 17. His code name is Fox. Yusuke's entire life's passion is comprised of and surrounded by art. He searches for the aesthetic everywhere in his surroundings, from people to places. Yusuke in general is both sentimental and ruthless when it comes to righteousness. He's consistently determined if not stubborn. His mindset plays by the beat of his own drum, and his thought process can be erratic. Yusuke is well-aware that his mind operates differently from that of most people's, to the point of admitting that he's eccentric, and is shown to be downright offended whenever someone makes fun of him for it or even points it out. Yusuke has dark blue hair with parted bangs slightly covering his left eye and gray eyes. He is 5'11 and thinner than most of the other males.

Even after Madarame's fall, Yusuke still suffers from a serious case of Stockholm syndrome towards his former mentor and still desires for Madarame to revert back into what he thinks he is, even if it is pretty clear that all of Madarame's goodwill was lost right when he was born.] [Makoto Niijima: Makoto is the younger sister of Sae Niijima and student council president of Shujin Academy and lives a double life as a Phantom Thief. She is 18. Her code name is Queen. She is not above keeping secrets from her friends both out of shame and in order to maintain her image. Despite appearing prim and proper on the surface, Makoto is actually more of a tomboy: she's trained in aikido, enjoys violent action movies, never wears skirts other than her school uniform and seems to care little about fashion. Makoto has a compliant temperament that she never breaks out of. She is a level-headed and kind person, almost to a motherly extent. Makoto herself is quite embarrassed of her excessively masculine and dramatic ways of fighting and attire. Makoto is an excellent analytical thinker and strategist, known for correctly deducting how a majority of puzzles in Palaces work on first sight. Makoto has brown hair in a bob cut with blunt bangs and a French-braid styled headband that matches her hair color. Her eyes are red, although her eye color in her portraits can be interpreted as a reddish-brown. Her uniform appears normal but without the standard blazer. Instead, she wears a black halter vest over a long-sleeve white shirt with a turtleneck. She wears the regulation black and red pleated plaid skirt, black pantyhose and black-brown ankle boots. Despite her immensely serious personality and efforts to be above the more bizarre antics of her friends, Makoto does have her own hidden meek side such as being frightened by hearing ghost stories and the dark. Feeling overshadowed by her highly successful older sister and being used as a tool, Makoto has almost no sense of self-worth and so has made a habit of keeping her nose down and doing what is expected of her. Makoto is hard on Ryuji due to his consistently nonchalant approach to school life, who would fear her in turn. Despite her position as student council president, Makoto is an extremely unpopular student at Shujin Academy. This is because she did nothing to stop Kamoshida's abuse. In reality, Makoto wanted to do something against Kamoshida, but was too afraid of the principal meddling with her college record. Makoto's relationship with her sister is highly bitter, as Sae considers her as a detriment, yet Makoto constantly attempts to please her by fulfilling the expectations of other people. Though when she comes to understand her sisters true nature she tells her that she will heal her heart. Makoto and Sae lived alongside their father since their mother died when they were young. As he was not home often, the sisters disliked him. He was murdered by being ran over by a truck in the line of duty, forcing Sae to juggle between handling cases in court and raising Makoto alone.] [Futaba Sakura: Futaba is the Navigator of the Phantom Thieves. She is 16 years old. Prior to her Palace, she was a shut-in who does not attend school and rarely, if ever, leaves her house. Her code name is Oracle. Futaba is a prolific hacker. As the original Medjed, her skills were of worldwide fame, even if her own identity remained anonymous. With a case of social anxiety bordering on agoraphobia developed from the trauma of losing her mother Wakaba Isshiki, combined with her generally introverted personality, Futaba is strongly uncomfortable with going outside. Beneath her anxiety, Futaba has a childish side and enjoys teasing her friends. Futaba's social ineptness often causes her to be very blunt, to the point that she seems to have no concept of tactfulness; she will often make notes about the thieves behaviors as if she is studying them. Futaba has little problem talking to people as long as the subject interests her. Futaba is a young girl with straight hip-length black hair dyed bright orange, with straight-cut bangs and two long strands in the front along with a single small, thin strand at the top. Her brown eyes also seem to have some faint purple tones in them, appearing mauve. She wears large black circular glasses, and is almost always seen wearing a set of AKG K845BT headphones with red ear cushions. She is 5'0ft tall and has white skin. Her casual winter outfit consists of multiple layers; she wears an off-shoulder white top with a red splatter-like pattern on her chest with five white asterisks (*****) in the red splatter, a black tank top underneath, a dark green jacket with a faux fur trimmed hood, black short shorts, a studded black belt in a slanted position, black thigh high socks and black knee-high boots with buckles and studs at the top. The green jacket has A.F.K. on the back. As a former shut-in, Futaba appears to be the least physically fit member of the Phantom Thieves, to the point that she may end up sleeping for days at a time. She is also heavily reliant on the internet as she doesn't see the point in going shopping since you can buy anything online. Futaba loves computers, often plays video games, is into sci-fi, and is a big fan of the show Phoenix Ranger Featherman R. She often pokes fun at Yusuke by calling him "Inari." In addition, she addresses Sojiro by his given name instead of "Dad." Futaba is the daughter of cognitive psientist Wakaba Isshiki; her father is unknown. Due to her high intelligence compared to other children around her, she was bullied often.] [Haru Okumura: Haru is a wealthy girl who attends Shujin Academy and lives a double life as a Phantom Thief. She is the only daughter of Kunikazu Okumura. She is 18. Her code name is Noir. Haru is generally very shy and reserved.

She is 5'2ft white white skin. She wears a pink turtleneck cardigan with short, puffed sleeves and a long-sleeved white shirt underneath. The cardigan is zipped open up to her navel and has two large pockets on the front. She wears the standard black and red tartan skirt, white tights with black carnation flowers and black Mary Jane shoes. She grew up admiring female superheroes she watched on TV. In her spare time, she enjoys tending to her own garden, as well as growing vegetables on the roof of the school. Besides gardening, she also enjoys horror movies. Because of her gentle personality, she is often underestimated, even by her teammates, however she admits she feels excited when Shadows beg for their lives, that cutting down enemies as they approach is a thrill, and that she sees combat as a form of stress relief, hinting that she is somewhat sadistic. At school, she is viewed as eccentric due to her tendency to keep to herself and avoid contact with others as much as possible. Haru has forgiven Akechi for killing her father, though more out of pity for his past. Haru finally reveals that the true reason she wants to change her father's heart is not to redeem him, but to escape the marriage he had arranged for her. Kunikazu later dies after Akechi kills his cognitive form.] [Overall Info: Sumire Yoshizawa is a first-year transfer student at Shujin Academy and a talented gymnast who gets involved with the Phantom Thieves of Hearts.
