Sayoko Uehara: The Devil

Sayoko Uehara represents the Devil arcana in Persona 4.

Sayoko Uehara is a nurse at the local hospital, and she’s got a bad reputation. At first, your protagonist will have to fend off her flirty advances. Still, beneath this flirtatiousness, Sayoko is genuinely quite lonely and struggles with the nature of her job: through death, or through getting better, everyone leaves her in the end. In her social link, you’ll help Sayoko rediscover her sense of purpose and give her someone she can rely on.
