[Mahiro keeps hearing about the capacities of the power bestowed upon everyone, but quite frankly? He doesn't have a lot of personal experience to back it up with. His Persona is capable of distracting enemies, and Mahiro would like to think that that kind of comes with the territory of being a giant manifestation of his psyche. While there are certainly ways to get around having drawn the short stick, he's more worried about the implications. Namely, what it says about him.]

I know this could be a personal question, and I understand if some people don't want to answer, but... what abilities does a Persona usually have?

[The overly cautious wording indicates that he's asking this for not entirely utilitarian reasons, and his doubtful tone isn't helping his case, either.]

Depends.

The team all had different powers, and Senpai was able to switch between all sorts of Persona. Ain't thinking there's something they usually all have cause of that, you know?

Duh! It kicks butt! I've got two of 'em, and they both kick butt! Everyone's persona has some kind of butt-kicking power, even the ones who are only for support!

There was nothing wrong with my answer, thank you very much!

[Well that tone was kind of a give away, wasn't it?]

It depends on the person. That's kind of the point, y'know? "Sea of the soul" and all that.

[Ahhh, yeah he knows that feeling.]

Right. [He gives a short nod, then tilts his head a bit and stares.]

I wouldn't worry about it. No matter what you get, there's always a way to make it useful, right?

Well! It all depends, right? Personas are a reflection of ourselves, and everyone's different.

That said, it's usually some kind of set of magical abilities to attack monsters, protect from monsters, or figure out information about monsters.

Well, back home, Shadows would go after the people with Personas, but only bother normal people when the fog lifted in their world...but I don't know how much of that applies to the demons here.
