* [[Iconic Item]]: Her compact, which turns out to be a [[MacGuffin]].

* [[Fiction 500]]

* [[Friendly Sniper]]

* [[Heroes Prefer Swords]]

* [[Show the Forehead]]

* [[The Smart Guy]]: Stupid people can be happy when ruled by smart people!

Hidehiko "Brown" Uesugi is the resident class clown of St. Hermelin, relying on puns and outdated jokes to get attention (this is also used in his negotiation skills). Hidehiko pesters his classmates to perform the "Persona" ritual in order to impress them, but Masao Inaba doesn't believe that it will actually work. They both hold a bet, with the loser having to treat everyone who was dragged into it at the Peace Diner. Masao thinks that he won at first, because nothing happened after the ritual. Hidehiko complains, saying that Masao didn't try hard enough when it was his turn to perform. But then a crying young girl appears, and they are all hit by flashes of lightning that send them to the border of consciousness and unconsciousness.

 

 

Like Yukino, Hidehiko's features weren't changed much for the North American release. His kanji puns were altered, fitted with easy-to-digest local jokes. His name was also changed to Brad.

 

* {{spoiler|[[All Love Is Unrequited]]: He seemed to be attracted to Tamaki. Then her dream world with Tadashi comes up...}}

* [[Badass]]: Or least wants to be seen as such. That said, he does [[Took a Level In Badass|get a Persona]], so he effectively is one in a gameplay sense.

* [[The Big Guy]]

* [[Bring My Brown Pants]]: How he got his nickname in the first place.

* [[Even Evil Has Standards|Even Troublemakers Has Standards]]: Brown is an unabashed troublemaker, but in the Snow Queen Quest, when he saw the [[Ironic Hell]] inflicted to Toro and Devil Boy, he's utterly disgusted and claims he drew the line on pranks, one of the few moments that he's really serious in his words, not bragging.

Hidehiko Uesugi introduced the game "Persona" to the rest of their classmates. Yuka has played it before and was counting on Hidehiko to win the bet against Masao Inaba to get a free meal at Peace Diner. Since she wasn't hit by lightning, Yuka does not follow the group to the hospital and instead opts to hang around in school. However, she does not follow the group to the hospital, opting to go on a shopping trip instead since she doesn't feel sick in the least. As a result, her awakening isn't triggered immediately.

Yukino was among those invited to help settle the bet between Brown and Masao, but doesn't actively participate in the "Persona" ritual, opting instead to watch and keep her classmates out of trouble. Even so, she is still affected by the result, sent to the border of consciousness and unconsciousness after being struck by lightning. Yukino awakens to her Persona in the hospital following a checkup and an unplanned visit to Maki Sonomura (who was also admitted there) that turns sour with demons suddenly wreaking havoc all over the place.

* [[Guest Star Party Member]]: Unless you do the Snow Queen Quest, of course.

* [[Heroic Vow]]: To rescue Saeko-sama from the Snow Queen, now matter what.

* [[Japanese Delinquents]]: Former one. She has the skirts and can still throw a good razor.

* [[The Lancer]]: In the Snow Queen plotline.

* [[Badass]]

** [[Badass Abnormal]]: {{spoiler|He becomes a GOD, for crying out loud... but this does wind up biting him on the ass.}}

* [[Big Bad]]

* [[Cool Sword]]

* [[Cheshire Cat Grin]]: Permanently etched on his face.

* [[Dark Is Not Evil]]: He's one of the good guys. Really.

* [[Powers That Be]]: Whatever Igor is exactly, he's almost certainly one of these.

 

* [[Freud Was Right]]: Mara is a recurring phallic-shaped demon in ''[[Shin Megami Tensei]]''. Considering the context of Toro's possession....ew.

* [[I Am Big Boned]]

* [[Kids Are Cruel]]

* [[Meaningful Name]]: "Toro" is a euphemism for the fatty part of tuna. In the English localization, his nickname was changed to "Chunky", which has roughly the same meaning. His Persona, Mara, is named after a Japanese colloquialism for "penis".

 

* [[All Your Powers Combined]]: Her power comes from the team up of the movers and shakers of the main plot: Kandori {{spoiler|and Maki.}}

* [[Big Bad]]

* [[Eldritch Abomination]]
