P5R Officially Revealed as ‘Persona 5: The Royal’

New Character Analysis
From this angle, it is revealed that the character is also a student in Shujin Academy. The number above the school logo reveals that she is a first-year student.
The new character’s familiarity with the Phantom Thieves suggests that she is not an alternative protagonist as was seen in Persona 3 Portable. The role that the new character will play in the game is still up for speculation.
Will she be like Marie of Persona 4 Golden? Will her storyline fill-up some time skips in the later stages of the game? Will she will play a role in a new story arc?
We will have to wait for more information on April 24th.
