Kirijo Family is the family ship between Mitsuru Kirijo and Takeharu Kirijo from the Persona fandom.

Canon[]

Mitsuru’s relationship with her father is one of the few with a stable and healthy father-daughter bond in the Persona series. She loves her father greatly, and her grandfather is the only one she gets along with.

She met her father in Yakushima in July. Mitsuru seems to have a distinct relationship with her father due to her work as Kirijo's heir. She still loves him despite not seeing each other that often.

On November 3rd. Mitsuru has a group photo with her father and the other members of SEES (except Aigis) at the dorm in the evening. After Ikutsuki’s betrayal, Mitsuru fell into a deep depression when she witnessed her father killed by Ikutsuki. The first she did after being freed from her shackles by Aigis, she ran to her father’s side and lay his corpse on her lap. She told the others her reason for becoming a Persona user was to protect her father. After her father’s death, she arranged her father’s funeral as the new Kiriijo’s heiress and grew distant towards her friends. During the Kyoto trip, she reveals to Yukari that she blames herself for falling for Ikutsuki’s trap, which resulted from her father’s death. She wanted to protect her father rather than atone for Kirijo's past. Mitsuru, unable to let go of her past, adds that she tried to unburden her father from her guilt, but that's impossible for her to fulfill as he's now dead: she would bury herself deeper, insisting that precisely because she can't save her father anymore is why her life has no meaning, prompting Yukari to slap her. Thanks to Yukari’s words, Mitsuru could move on after their father’s death and decided to be the new head of the Kirijo Group and continue to fight with S.E.E.S.

The Answer[]

As a child, she once volunteered to accompany her father to Tartarus. Suddenly, one of her father’s bodyguards turned into Shadow and was about to attack him. Fearing she would lose him, Mitsuru shielded her father from a Shadow. This results in Mitsuru awakening to her Persona naturally. After she defeated the Shadow, she collapsed to the floor, where her father ran to her side. When the scientist praised Mitsuru for becoming a natural Persona user instead of worrying for her, Takeharu reprimanded them. He laments the destiny his daughter is going to bear from now on. Mitsuru assuages his lamentation, telling him it was her choice to take the burdens she knows she will carry henceforth and that she will protect him.

Film[]

In the final film, during the depressing month of December, Mitsuru finds a wine cellar in her Mansion, where Kifune reveals the wine bottle dated the same day she was born. According to her, her father planned to drink wine with Mitsuru once she became an adult. This results in Mitsuru not giving up hope for humanity.

The Weird Masquerade[]

In Act 3, Mitsuru took her father’s death hard; even after the Kyoto trip, she still hasn’t recovered from her depression. Akihiko gives Mitsuru the group photo from a day after their moon operation. Hopefully, she will have the last reminder of her father. After the Kyoto trip, Mitsuru almost ripped the photo of her and her father until Yukari stopped her. Mitsuru was able to get back to her senses thanks to Yukari; she was able to move on over her father’s death.

Songs[]

A Venerability Veiled in Fog[]

This song was sung by Asami Tano (Mitsuru Kirijo) in Act 3 of Persona 3: The Weird Masquerade. The song is about how she will miss her father, and losing him brings her sadness and despair.

Fanon[]

The Kirijo Family is among the few family fanships in the Persona 3 fanbase. Most Persona users, like Junpei, Fuuka, and Yukari's family, are either abusive (Junpei's unnamed father) or neglected (Yukari's unknown mother), but Mitsuru's relationship with her father is healthy.

On Ao3, there currently needs to be work. However, on FanFiction.net, there are two works.
