Teachers
Algebra - Mr. Ming-jin - funniest teacher hands down. Makes class fun while still explaining things well, but never manages to get through all the material he needs to in one year. Has some fun props and a wears a different tie every single day.
Art - Mrs. Nyko - a crazy haired teacher that has a strange obsession with her subject. It almost feels like she can forget her students while teaching, but at least she's a passionate teacher.
Calculus - Mr. Bestuvo - strict and usually very intimidating despite being short. Only accepts full effort from every student and offers a good challenge for ambitious students.
Chemistry - Mr. Nichelsin - a gangly, quirky, and sometimes obnoxious teacher. He's very passionate about his subject and does what he can to get students into it too with varying success. Most visited teacher by graduated students.
Dance - Mr. Lucas - appears a little creepy at first, but he is sweet and harmless. He's almost nice to a fault and makes sure all students are on the same page at the same time. Class with him can be frustrating, but he is too kind to be mad at.
Grammar - Mr. Gail - a large, tough teacher, but friendly. Works students hard without pushing them too far. Slight bias for students in sports and usually wears outfits that support the school.
Health - Mr. Yong - a tired and worn down teacher who usually looks like a mess. He puts in minimum effort and his classes usually feel very boring. He is incredibly smart in his subject though is happy if students show an interest in his class.
History - Ms. Baker - a tall, spunky teacher that makes her subject exciting, regardless of if her students find it interesting. She's a little haphazard and clumsy.(edited)
Home Economics - Mr. Oschen - an outgoing teacher that does what he can to seem cool. He's a solid teacher, but a bit weird when he tries to fit in. Some students really enjoy his classes and become friends with him after graduation.
Literature - Mrs. Wesley - a portly, kind, and quiet teacher with many years at school. Well known for being fair, patient, and maybe a bit of a pushover.
Photography - Ms. Dillenger - a hopeless romantic of a teacher, but she remains professional. She pours her soul into her teaching. Sometimes she goes too far into philosophy and misses the point of what she was supposed to be teaching.
Physics - Mrs. Nelson - a small, studious teacher that often struggles to make her point clear. Is always prepared with extra material and offers after class hours for anyone falling behind. Cares about her subject and her students even if she isn’t always the best at teaching it.
Shop - Mr. Jenson - the young, hip teacher. He gets along with pretty much every student, but doesn't quite have the experience to be an effective teacher. Does his best and is humbly learning alongside his students.
Sociology - Mr. Sandwich - yes he knows about his surname and he's sick of hearing about it. He's shrewd, easily annoyed, and doesn't put up with anything, opting to send students to the dean rather than dealing with issues on his own.
Tech Education - Mrs. Gravious - a calm and understanding teacher with a motherly look. She can call students out on lies and has a firm grasp on her subject. Her classes may be slightly dull, but effective and nothing typically goes wrong during class.
Track and Field - Mrs. Tik - a harsh teacher that is not very forgiving. Once in her favor though, a student will stay there and receive praise and kindness from her. Looks to be younger, but is actually older than most teachers.

Persona Glossary
Persona - Once overcoming your Shadow Self, you can summon a companion that represents a part of your identity, your Persona. They are able to fight against Shadows and help you through difficult situations. Other Persona users can see and interact with ones that are not their own, though Persona will disappear around humans without the ability to summon one. They always reside inside your mind and can be summoned at will. They cannot be summoned around regular humans and there are cases where you may be unable to summon them or they are forced back into your mind due to an effect from a Shadow or an intense emotional situation.
Shadow - A manifestation of the repressed parts of a humans being; negative thoughts, feelings, impulses, weaknesses, and desires. There are a variety of species, usually representing something close to the person they manifest from. Under intense emotional stress, these Shadows can begin appearing in our world, unnoticed by normal humans, and they will eventually overpower the person they manifest from. While most are weak, they become more powerful as the person falls further into despair unless dealt with.
Split-Realm - Shadows and Persona do not exist in our world, but they may travel through it. If a person that wields a Persona interacts with a Shadow, they will enter the Split-Realm. Nearly identical to our world, it is impossible to interact with any people and time seems to be frozen. Any destruction done to the environment will not carry over to the real world, but people can be effected by what happens, even if they do not wield a Persona.
