[For once, Vriska's posting during the Dark Hour. Yellow eyes were looking almost challengingly at the screen, her blue lips twisted into a frown]

So, all you guys who have that Persona thing awakened... the hell is that supposed to be? It caaaaaaaan't be a part of yourself; that would be just dumb. So what is it?

[You might see that in her face, she looked mildly... disturbed]

And what is that supposed to do aaaaaaaanyway?

It's more like a reflection of yourself but they take on forms of creatures or beings from human mythology and folklore. They allow you to use skills that are much more effective against shadows. Think of it like summoning magic.

So...what does your Persona look like anyway?

... my lusus. Which is stupid.

[needsteaplz]

What is a lusus and why is that stupid?

[scorpiospider]

My guardian and it's stupid because she's dead. I killed her. And it shouldn't be a spider.

[needsteaplz]

...You killed your own guardian?

A spider, huh? Did it say anything when it first appeared to you? Like "I am thou and thou art I...?" There's actually quite a lot of spiders in human folklore.

[scorpiospider]

Of course I did.

... it's still stupid. It looks like Spidermom even if it's a trickster or whatever.

Is it some kind of troll tradition to kill your guardians or it just happened?

Spider...trickster...No doubt about it. Your Persona took on the form of Anansi, a well known creature in African folktales. He's a trickster in a good sense, as he could outwit his enemies and bought much good to the world. Is it because it's a spider that's why you think it's stupid?

She was dying anyway. And I finished it like a good adult troll. [Her lips twisted in a humorless smile]

So why not a scorpion then? It's what my sign's based off of. And it's cooler than a spider.

I...see.

I'm afraid I don't know the answer to that. After all, like I said, your Persona is a reflection of yourself. It's fairly common for people to fully understand themselves. I might look into some research since I can't think of any scorpion related folklore off the top of my head.

Hmph.

Only folklore, huh? You know, it would have been cool if my Persona was Mindfang. My ancestor. She's practically folklore by now!
