'''Ann Takamaki''' ({{ja|高巻 杏|Takamaki An}}, ''Takamaki Ann'') is one of the main protagonists of ''Persona 5''.
'''Ann Takamaki''' ({{ja|高巻 杏|Takamaki An}}, ''Takamaki Ann'') is one of the main protagonists of ''Persona 5''.


==Origin==
==Origin==
Ann is a second year high schooler at Shujin Academy, the same school [[Joker]] attends. She faces discrimination from the other students, due to being partly of American descent, with her only friend being Shiho Suzui, whom Ann knows is secretly being molested by the school volleyball coach Suguru Kamoshida. After she witnesses Suzui try to kill herself by jumping off the school roof, Ann follows the protagonist and [[Ryuji Sakamoto]] into Kamoshida's palace. She is captured, but is able to awaken to her Persona, Carmen, which allows her to break free and get her revenge on Kamoshida. She later form the Phantom Thieves of Hearts with the protagonist, [[Morgana]] and Ryuji Sakamoto in order to target the "corrupt adults" and steal their "corrupt hearts".
Ann is a second year high schooler at Shujin Academy, the same school [[Joker]] attends, and in the same class. She faces discrimination from the other students, due to being partly of American descent, with her only friend being Shiho Suzui, whom Ann knows is secretly being molested by the school volleyball coach Suguru Kamoshida. Ann always stays with Shiho when called by Kamoshida, which starts rumors that she is sleeping with him. After she witnesses Suzui try to kill herself by jumping off the school roof, Ann follows the protagonist and [[Ryuji Sakamoto]] into Kamoshida's palace. She is captured, but is able to awaken to her Persona, Carmen, which allows her to break free and get her revenge on Kamoshida. She later forms the Phantom Thieves of Hearts with the protagonist, [[Morgana]] and Ryuji Sakamoto in order to target the "corrupt adults" and steal their "corrupt hearts". Ann becomes a valuable member of the team, often acting as a diversion. A notable example is where she distracts [[Yusuke Kitagawa]] long enough for the others to slip by and enter Ichiryusai Madarame's palace undetected.
 
Should the player pursue a confidant with Ann, she opens up about how she feels about the incident with Shiho and how she has changed over time. Ann resolves to further improve herself through activities like acting, albeit with limited success due to her rival Mika using dirty tactics to upstage her. Late into the confidant, Ann eventually learns that Shiho would be transferring schools. After saying goodbye and promising to keep in touch, she finally comes out of her shell and is able to express her emotions freely, to the point of accidentally confessing her love to the protagonist to her embarrassment. Ann also exposes Mika for her underhandedness, humbling her and forcing herself to take Ann seriously. When Takuto Maruki creates a new reality in ''Persona 5 Royal'', Shiho was never molested by Kamoshida and becomes a famous volleyball player. However, this is only an illusion created from Ann's will for this reality to exist. After Ann is confronted by the protagonist and realizes this is not her reality, everything returns to normal and the alternate version of Shiho is never heard from again.
 
In ''Persona 5 Strikers'', Ann develops a personal connection with Alice Hiiragi, the first antagonist of the game, as they were both outsiders from Shujin academy with a love for fashion. Once all of this was revealed, Ann resolves to help Alice atone for her corrupted ways.


Taking the codename Panther, Ann uses a whip and submachine gun in battle, while Carmen gives her access to a number of fire and single target healing spells, making her a valuable asset to the Thieves.
