Morgana – The Mysterious Mascot
Morgana functions as the mascot character for Persona 5, just how Teddie did for Persona 4 and Koromaru for Persona 3. You’ll also notice that Morgana has a ton in common with Teddy. In both games, the protagonist and their best friend meet the mascot in the “other world,” and their power is essential for traversing this place. Teddie acts as the party’s guide through the TV world, while Morgana takes the party through the Metaverse.
Traditionally, many JRPGs have a cute mascot character, and oftentimes it’s a big mystery as to what they really are. These are characters like Mieu in Tales of the Abyss, Moogles in Final Fantasy, and Airy in Bravely Default. More often than not, these mascots play a vital role in the story, and what they really are is often one of the big mysteries.
