The Personas are your source of special skills ranging from healing powers to the elemental-aligned attacks that serve as the focal point of most of the turn-based battles.

You alone have the ability to harness multiple Personas by defeating monstrous Shadows who reward you with tarot cards. Persona 4 Golden cleverly draws upon the trope of the blank slate protagonist by making your character's amorphousness into a game mechanic.
