Persona 4 female protagonist

"Hm... I see. Now, let's take a look into your future shall we? Do you believe in fortune telling?" Igor asked as he spread a number of cards on the table in front of him.

I wasn't quite listening because I couldn't top staring at that nose. Igor tapped the short table in front of him to focus my attention before continuing to speak.

"Each reading is done with the same cards, yet the result is always different," he paused to chuckle and then continued with another question. "Life itself follows the same principles, doesn't it?"

Again, I gave no answer. I became vaguely aware of the fog streamed outside the windows of the limousine. The silence was broken by the sound of a card flipping over into the upright position. Said card had a picture of a tower stricken by lightning, from which two small figures were falling down.

"Hm... The Tower in the upright position represents the immediate future. It seems a terrible catastrophe is imminent. The card indicating the future beyond that card is..."

I didn't believe in fortune telling, so I just politely nodded. The only tarot cards I could name were **** and Lovers.

Another card flipped over and it was, "The Moon in the upright position. This card represents 'hesitation' and 'mystery'. Very interesting indeed. It seems you will encounter a misfortune at your destination and a great mystery will be imposed upon you."

Igor looked up at me with a wide grin. I was perplexed but still silent.

"In the coming days, you will enter into a contract of some sort, after which you will return here. The coming year is a turning point in your destiny. If the mystery goes unsolved, your future may be forever lost." Igor's eerie smile was still present as ever, yet somehow his tone was calm and serious. "My duty is to provide assistance to our guests to ensure that does not happen. Ah! I have neglected to introduce my assistant to you. This is Margaret. She is a resident of this place, like myself."

"My name is Margaret." the woman said. "I am to accompany you through your journey."

"We shall attend to the details another time," Igor explained. "Until then, farewell."

So my story begins way, way back in April 11th 2011.

It was a mostly normal year, for the most part, save for the fact that my parents would be heading overseas for a year starting in April. I awoke from my sleep on the train taking me to the place I'd be staying in for a year, Inaba, some small rural town in the middle of nowhere. I dully stared out the window. The reflection showed my small frame and long silver hair.

Another year, another school, another uniform. This time for a year, which will break my longest record which used to be five months. In the past years, I had to move around because of my parent's work. My parents had now decided to go overseas without me. I had a very vivid dream of a guy with an impossibly long nose. There were two very peculiar people, Igor and Margaret, all three of us were in a limousine. They asked me about my contract and then the old man proceed to tell me about my fortune. Both catastrophe and misfortune awaited me? Maybe I wasn't as happy about moving away from my family for the year as I pretended. I woke It had been a pretty long train journey. I looked forward to the quite in comparison with the city. I flipped out my cell phone to see I got a text.

[Meet us outside Yasoinaba Station at 4pm.]

I mentally nodded as I closed my phone again. Some hours later, the train stopped at Yasoinaba Station before I got too bored of my surroundings, so I grabbed my bag and slipped off the train with ease. I looked around slowly, taking note of my surroundings. I was the only person to get off the train.

Yep, this was nowheresville alright. The train station was a ghost town. There wasn't even an attendant sweeping the place or anything like that. I was literally alone and almost expected a tumbleweed to roll by. Luckily the train had been right on time. Now I just had to hope my family would be here on time. Nobody knew anything about who I was, aside from the fact I came from the city and that's about it.
