#asterope

The Pleiades in order: Alcyone, Asterope, Celaeno, Electra, Maia, Merope, Taygeta. They're all siblings referencing their mythology.

Ah, sorry this response is a bit late! I haven't had time to go through my inbox recently, heh.

Here's a better look at the art for Pinky and Asterope!

The "Creator's Comment" note next to Asterope indicates that they're specifically basing Pinky's Persona off of the Hesperid Asterope, not the Pleiades Asterope (although it's still possible that that factored into their decision in the first place, heh):

What We Know About Pinky

(last updated 2/23/26!)

Narumi Nashimoto, codename Pinky, is a high school girl who works as an idol at the Cat's Claw concept cafe. She joins the team as a “Phantom Idol”, or cognitive teammate.

Narumi has gone through a couple different files codenames over the course of the game. Her original model is named "liben", while later, "lume" is used for her voice lines in the Akihabara Puzzle event and some newer files. The exact significance of this, if any, is unknown.

Her Japanese voice actress is Azumi Waki.

Narumi is a Synergy of Wonder’s, though exactly what the earliest point it becomes available at is unclear, as it was added in a later update. It takes place after Merope's Synergy, and focuses on her efforts to do well in Cat's Claw's competition so she can become a real idol, as well as her general adjustment in mindset from working this job for the money to working this job because she wants to become an idol. More information about Narumi’s Confidant can be found here.

She also had a special animated promo video focused on her.

Narumi first appears in Merope's Synergy, as Merope becomes a fan of hers and introduces Wonder to aspects of idol culture through her interactions with Narumi. Narumi and Merope quickly become friends, and for a while, Narumi clearly knows Merope much better than Wonder, as she tends to refer to him as "Merope-chan's friend". Her Synergy's initial premise is that she wants to get to know Wonder better, although she still frequently makes references to Merope, and even jokingly speaks in her extremely formal manner a few times.

Her Persona, Asterope, is categorized as a Psychokinesis type, and resists Psychokinesis while being weak to Nuclear.

Asterope is an Assassin Persona, meaning she’s good at targeting single enemies. Her trait makes it so that Pinky starts battle with one "Shining Point" (stacks up to 10), and her skills are buffed based on her current number of Shining Points. Also, when Pinky enters combat, she grants Wonder the special ability to trigger "Naruru♪ Naruru♬", which grants Pinky an extra turn and 15 SP at the end of her next turn. After the extra turn, all Pinky's Shining Points are cleared. Naruru♪ Naruru♬ has a one-turn cooldown, which begins at the start of combat and is based on Wonder's turns.

Her first psy attack skill hits one enemy, grants her three Shining Points, and activates Pinky's "Idol Mode" for two rounds, which buffs Pinky's critical rate and damage, and grants her an additional Shining Point at the start of her turn. Her second psy attack skill deals damage to all enemies (damage is evenly divided between all enemies), and if Pinky is in Idol Mode, Pinky's current Shining Points are doubled after this skill is used. Her third psy attack skill hits one enemy, and, if used during Pinky's Naruru♪ Naruru♬ extra turn, deals extra damage based on how many Shining Points she has, with an additional buff if she's at her max (10) Shining Points.

Her passive skills buff Pinky's damage dealt during her extra turn, and permanently buff her attack stat for the fight whenever Wonder uses a skill that targets Pinky (stacks up to twice).

In combat, her melee weapon is a hammer, while her ranged weapon is a rocket launcher. Her Highlight is shown from 5:13 - 5:22 in this video, and it hits one enemy with a psy attack, then buffs Pinky's attack stat (based on Wonder's attack stat) for 2 turns.

Her recommended card sets are 1) 7 of Cups (Debauch) + Ace of Cups (Purity), 2) 8 of Coins (Prudence) + Prince of Coins (Resolve).

I never said Asterope would be successful in overthrowing Hera lol. There's a lot of characters who want to kill or overthrow someone. Doesn't mean their going to.
