Reveal Your True Form...
Futaba Sakura is the Navigator of the Phantom Thieves from Persona 5.
She is different from the main crew of the Phantom Thieves, as
prior to Persona 5 Strikers, she was a shut-in who does not attend
school and rarely, if ever, leaves her house.
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 and barely had any friends
other than a girl named Kana. However, Kana's parents were sexually
harassing their daughter, and when Futaba discovered this, Kana left
her as well.
At some point, Futaba, under the codename "Medjed," began acting as a
"hacker of justice," becoming well known. However, because she stayed
anonymous, other hackers began using the name all over the world, eventually
forming their own hacktivist group. Futaba saw that the group was getting
out of hand, but found it too much trouble to expose its members. Instead,
she simply changed her handle to "Alibaba" and stepped away from hacktivism.
During the events of the game, the moniker that Futaba used was impersonated
by an IT Company president to launch blank threats against the Phantom Thieves.
Necronomicon is Futaba Sakura's initial Persona, formed when she regains her
will to live and accepts a consenting Shadow Futaba. It is shaped like a UFO
with a metallic gargoyle statue crouching on its top. The UFO's exterior is
decorated with lime green glyphs of various origins. Futaba is piloting from
the inside. This Persona symbolizes Futaba's unknown power and vast reserves
of knowledge.
