    "From the sea of thy Bonds, I emerge." is the phrase that is known to be said by any Persona that appears. Why exactly this is said as they take corporeal form, researchers are unsure of, but tests show that these Pokégirls do show signs of a very unusual phenomena. No Persona looks the same, and their looks and abilities tend to change as the harem shifts and changes. First discovered in 276 AS, Persona have since been found in various harems but have no need of a pokéball, and this often terrifies the opponents of those who do happen to 'own' a Persona. Research since the first was discovered has shown that Persona takes on an appearance that pulls together the most significant physical features of the Pokégirls that the Tamer has a Delta-level bond with. As more Pokégirls join the harem and are delta-bonded with the tamer, the Persona's appearance changes as well, and as Pokégirls are 'removed' from the harem and the Delta-bond is 'cut', the Persona's appearance changes at those times too. This happens to be the case with the attacks that the Persona has access to. However, any attacks that require a physical form or appendage do 30% less damage than they are normally capable of. Leagues across the world accept the Persona as a Pokégirl- however, it varies from gym to gym in each league as to whether or not a Tamer may use a Persona in a Gym battle.
    The only real evidence as to how this Pokégirl comes into existence is during the full moon, and if the Tamer has three or more Pokégirls in his/her harem that he or she is Delta-bonded with. The first tamer to have discovered this Pokégirl was Mitsuru Kirijo. While fighting off Vampires that were attempting to feed on her family, who were all still asleep due to a slumber-spell, her Persona appeared while uttering the words, "From the sea of thy Bonds, I emerge." The Pokégirl that appeared took her place alongside the Slicer, Valkyrie, and Acrobabe that Mitsuru had in her harem, and successfully drove off the Vampires that had attacked them. Ever since then, her family's group, the Kirijo Group, has been specializing in Persona Research. Mitsuru also reported that every night on a full moon, her Persona would take a physical form and required amazing amounts of taming. Since then, it has been reported that a Persona will only reveal itself if her tamer is in absolute danger.
    Persona often have attacks that the other Pokégirls in the tamer's harem have, but also have a few more on top of those since she is a Ghost-type. While another Ghost-type may be Delta-bonded with the same tamer, it has been found that Persona never take on any physical features or learn the attacks that the other Ghost type has. Persona are always in their incorporeal form, save on nights of the full moon: for twelve hours, a Persona gains a physical form. Persona may also gain a real form after absorbing enough life energy, though this rarely lasts more than an hour. Only the strongest persona can coalesce into a true physical form for any real length of time (for every three levels of experience that the Persona has, she can form a physical body for one hour a day. So, at level 72, a Persona can retain her physical form for an entire day, every day). Drinking or absorbing blood from the Persona's tamer also assists with the formation of a physical body, but does little to extend the amount of time that she can retain the body. Potions do work on Persona, as they are some sort of liquid, but any medicines that are in a physical form (like a pill) don't work. Upon fainting, the Persona returns to the "Sea of Bonds" that she speaks of, and will regain consciousness within three hours (on average).
    Persona cannot, as a result of being Pokéball immune, be traded, sold, or given away. There are also no possible threshold cases, as a Persona exists only through the formation of Delta Bonds between her tamer and three other Pokégirls. A Persona automatically obtains a delta-level bond with her tamer, as well as a form of telepathic communication with him/her, despite not being a psychic type. Persona do become feral, however, if the Tamer she is with ever has less than three Pokégirls that are delta-bonded with him/her. While Feral, Persona cannot and will never form a true body, and if a taming session is missed then the Persona will return to what she called the "Sea of the Bonds." When a third Pokégirl has been Delta-bonded with, the Persona will return, but will actually act as if she went through a level 5 conditioning cycle, with only vague memories of anything that had happened when she had appeared before. There have been no known cases of the Persona ever fully recovering her memory after such an occurrence.
