Caroline & Justine

Description \ Bio

Caroline and Justine, or Lavenza, are characters from Persona 5. They are the younger sisters of Margaret, Elizabeth and Theodore and attendant(s) of the protagonist of Persona 5. They appear to be young girls with platinum blonde hair and yellow eyes. The twins both wear a black eye patch with the letter "V" over one of their eyes and a blue prison guard outfit. Justine has a long braid and a hat with the letters "O-Y-O-O" while Caroline has hair buns and a hat with the letters "X-M-R-N." When combined, the letters spell "OXYMORON." They wear brassards on their left arms and have matching black ties. Justine carries a clipboard while Caroline uses an electric shock baton to intimidate their inmate. In Persona 5: Dancing in Starlight, Lavenza is able to split into Caroline and Justine freely any time she wants. This is inherited in Persona 5 Royal, where she uses this trait to cast an All-out Attack. Caroline has a very classical tsundere (someone who acts mean-spirited and aloof to disguise any affectionate feelings) attitude towards the protagonist. Additionally, she doesn't seem to hold the protagonist in very high regard, as she refers to him as "inmate," and kicks him into the Velvet Room whenever he goes to enter. She is generally ill-tempered and impatient, even after the twins' Confidant levels up and she grows to respect the protagonist as a friend. There are certain inconsistencies between how she seems and her real personality, and as according to Justine, she was mortified when she first witnessed Persona fusion and practiced intimidating poses to use on the protagonist but is too embarrassed to use them. She tends to speak to Justine in a demeaning manner. Justine, in contrast, appears to be calm and soft-spoken, but still treats the protagonist as her prisoner, often addressing him in a condescending tone. Unlike her sister, she will calmly escort the player to their cell. She is the first to question what their true purpose is, and realizes something is amiss with possessing an intricate bookmark but having no books to read. While guarding an entrance to the Velvet Room, she whittles away at her boredom by spinning her clipboard. Despite the twins' usually haughty behavior, in Persona Q2, the relationships with their older siblings are further expanded. They respect their older siblings and don't seem to treat Theodore in a particularly disrespectful manner, unlike Margaret and Elizabeth. Similar to Theodore, they also fear angering Margaret, as seen during a fusion accident. However, in Persona 3: Dancing in Moonlight and Persona 5: Dancing in Starlight, the twins' relationship with Elizabeth is strained due to the aftermath of Persona 4: Dancing All Night. While the twins consider Elizabeth as an audacious storm that even Igor fails to control, Elizabeth believes the twins (she speaks of them as Lavenza indirectly) as impertinent and Junpei Iori, when told the consequences of failing, is afraid of how vicious Lavenza can be.
