In Character Information
Name: Io Nitta
Series: Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Survivor 2
Canon Standing: Post-Anguished One Ending
Age: 18
Birthday & Astrology Sign: 3 May [Taurus]
Arcana: Lovers

Personality:
The first time Io appears in Devil Survivor 2, Daichi rattles off a bunch of adjectives to describe her. In particular, the first one to come up is smart, and she is rightly defined as such. However, being a good student is more than about just knowledge, it's also about understanding and a willingness to acquire information, and she has both. Over the course of the game she demonstrates knowledge of geography the average person wouldn't know, and she is frequently found thinking about questions the other party members do not, such as "what are demons, exactly?"

However, her social intelligence is rather low and she has a tendency to act as a doormat - many of her early Fate events involve the hero saving her from being roped into staying with someone for at least a little bit, and she frequently takes sides in intra-party conversations, offering intelligent compromises or providing reasoning for agreeing with someone else, never presenting an idea that is totally her own. She also tends to wait until the attention is already on her before speaking, usually trying to catch it that way quietly. By the end of the week she is beginning to grow out of it, realizing that it is all right sometimes to just come out and say something. She is also frequently apologetic, but never in a combat situation.

Also in Daichi's list is the word innocent, which more than likely described her at the beginning at the game - her reclusiveness and good study habits would leave her with less practical experience than average. But there's something about going through the apocalypse that changes people, as pointed out to the hero by the yakuza assassin doctor mystery man in one of his events. Io is, of course, afraid at first when she is saved by and must fight those first three demons on Sunday, but is the first to point out that the Demon Summoning App could be a useful tool for their survival. However, when she is later informed that she will host the power of Lugh, she panics in lack of confidence in her ability to succeed. After that, however, she is able to call upon that power again, using it as a weapon to fight for what she believed in.

Yamato's ideal of meritocracy is one she is initially fine with, but when he reveals that he intends to kill his opposition she is horrified. Ronaldo's contrasting proposal of equality is one she sees merit in, but Io recognizes that people have individual strengths, an opinion that has only been solidified after fighting with everyone over the past week. She would rather people setter ideological conflicts peacefully, but also recognizes that occasionally there is no other choice.

She also kinda has a crush on Kaito. But that's small potatoes.

Backstory:
Io Nitta | Devil Survivor 2
Io Nitta used to be an above-average student, looked on in admiration by many and reverence by some for her appearance and academic performance. She had no connections to the rest of the party before the beginning of the game, aside from going to the same high school as the protagonist and Daichi, who she is in the same year with, but different classes.

Some corrections are necessary to Io's summary as listed on the Shin Megami Tensei wiki; on Monday morning Io learns that the apartment building her family lived in was destroyed in the tremors, before realizing that since no one was found, her parents might still be alive.. Her parents die the following morning, and she is witness to her mother's final moments.

Canon Powers:
Io has some measure of spiritual power, which, combined with the Demon Summoning App on her phone, allows her to use a variety of magic attacks. She usually sets the following as her Command skills:

Diarahan: Single-target full healing (Mind)
Recarm: Single-target revival at 50% HP (Mind)
Force Dance: Strikes random enemies up to five times for medium Force (Wind) damage. Always hits at least twice unless the first hit KOs/kills the only remaining nearby enemy. Never hits a single enemy more than three times.

and the following as her Passive skills:
Life Stream: Large increase in Max HP (Mind)
Anti-Ailment: Reduced chance to be affected by abnormal status (Mind)
Force Boost: 1.2x damage with Force Wind attacks (Wind)

Io is significantly stronger than average humans due to having spent a week thwarting the destruction of Earth by star aliens and demons, both physically and magically. This focus on power, however, leads to a relative deficiency in her durability and speed.

On Friday she becomes the vessel of the demon Lugh, and from then on is able to use his power to drastically improve her abilities - but since her connection is to her world's Lugh, she will be unable to use it in Hinoto-Ri (but you bet she is getting a Lugh Persona).

She has a phone that can summon demons and she has fists. This is all she needs.

1st Person Example
I've been thinking about something recently... about our Persona.

[She pauses a little bit.]

Most of you first summoned them in a very stressful situation, right? But I don't think that kind of situation could only happen here. If you had the ability to summon a Persona even before you came here, do you think it would have awakened?

[And then panics slightly, realizing something.]

Obviously the question is moot if you actually did have that power before coming here, but I think for me it would have.

3rd Person Example
Ever since that strange person had shown himself to her, Io's life had been even farther from 'normal' than she had thought possible.

Although, somehow he hadn't felt like a person... this 'Philemon' she had met was clearly more than that. If he was responsible for bringing Saiduq here, after he had become the new world, then he was clearly someone she didn't want to get on the bad side of, but she didn't think that was going to be a problem. She wanted people to be safe, and he wanted to save this world... Really, their goals went hand in hand with each other. She might as well help him out. In fact, they seemed a lot alike in some ways.

Kaito, Daichi, and Yamato had been brought here as well... that last one had been a surprise and a shock; all three of them had seen him die in defense of his ideals. She couldn't help but wonder if he and Saiduq would come into conflct again. With Saiduq's former true form revealed, and without the extensive set of JP's resources Yamato had used, Io wasn't sure who would win a battle, and while she couldn't help wondering she didn't want it to actually happen. And one more thought, one that had stayed with her since the beginning of this journey to another world, came to her again:

How hard could it be, really, to save a city in better shape than the ones that had vanished for the sake of the new world?
