Description

For Naoto, much of her life could be summed up as a constant struggle to fit in. As a child, it was being deemed a misfit by other kids, leaving the young girl to bury herself in detective novels.

As a budding sleuth, it was the fear of not fitting the ideal image of a detective, leaving Naoto to disguise herself as a boy.

And now, as the well-known Detective Prince, Naoto was once again struggling to fit in, but neither socially or professionally. This time, with her own wardrobe, which had become a growing problem in every sense of the word, leaving Naoto with fewer solutions the more her problem (and her body) grew.

But even then, it was a situation Naoto was all too familiar with in her life: maintaining her careful, aloof facade, lest it exposed the inept, awkward girl underneath it all.

Naoto Shirogane from Persona 4, done as a remake of my 2017 piece, Watching Her Girlish Figure.
