Persona based fanfic help

[Nahnah390 4]

Has anyone played any of the more recent persona games?

 

Perhaps I should explain: in Persona 3 and Persona 4 (and their various remakes) there is a very important part of gameplay known as social links. Social links are the bonds you make with various characters that go on a scale of one to ten. As you bond with those characters the social links rank up. The social links each correspond to different arcana in a tarot deck. Specifically they represent the right-side up cards. For example: Twilight Sparkle could represent the priestess: which is heavily associated with inner wisdom and knowledge.

 

I'm in the process of making a story somewhat based on these games and felt it necessary to include a social link aspect. The problem is, I'm not terribly confident in my own judgment and often rely on the suggestions of others to fill in any blanks that I tend to leave. So while I also do my own research and such, I've found that making a social link for every main character and picking different characters to fill in the other ones was harder than I thought it would be. So I was wondering if it wouldn't be too much trouble to ask other bronies, who probably have quite a few people who've analyzed the character's half to death. Basically I'm just asking for help, I'm not asking for everyone here to do everything for me, as after I get this part filled in I'll figure something out for the various ranks... hopefully.

 

Anyways, the official cards in a persona tarot deck are:

Fool : not a problem

Priestess: Twilight Sparkle

Empress:

Emperor:

Hierophant:

Chariot:

Justice:

Hermit:

Wheel of Fortune:

Strength:

Hanged man:

Death:

Temperance:

Devil:

Tower:

Star: Rarity

Moon:

Sun: Pinkie Pie

Judgment : Also not a problem

The World : This one never has a social link

No, sun and moon are not as obvious as you'd think. I love these games and I actually want to pay some amount of respect to the level of research and care that was given into the games. That's why I want to have some sort of good argument for what arcana a character should be.

 

Persona 4 also had a social link for each party member, and as such the only characters who would be required to have be a social link would be the mane six and spike, as well as the addition of the main character's dying mother, but I haven't exactly thought out her yet, but if someone could give a good argument for what she should be like, I'd be all ears. I'm asking so much already however.

 

To be honest I feel kind of selfish to be asking this much of random bronies, but I've been told I need to ask for help more. I really hope this is enough information, and also not too much to ask for, but thanks to anyone who would be willing to help in advance.

 

EDIT: Okay after some research, I've uncovered a few good arcana already.

I've already explained twilight's case, but the star arcana represents self-confidence, altruism, luck and generosity. So rarity just seemed to fit this one.

The Sun arcana represents happiness, joy, energy and optimism. Which seems to fit Pinkie pie better than it does Celestia. So the princess of the sun is ironically enough, NOT the sun arcana.
