Makoto Nijima is a member of the Phantom Thieves of Hearts. As the wielder of the persona – Johanna, she works alongside them with her healing and Frei skills which can help in battle. Unlike most Priestess Arcana, she is more brutal in both combat and her driving style.
Despite her brutal way of fighting, she does have a compassionate side. Her compassionate and responsible side comes out as Student Council President. However, she also hopes to no longer burden her sister – Sae Nijima.
