Futaba Sakura

Futaba Sakura (佐倉 双葉, Sakura Futaba), also known by her codename Oracle (ナヴィ; Navi in the original Japanese version), is one of the main characters in the 2016 video game Persona 5. She is a member of the Phantom Thieves of Hearts, as well as their navigator, taking over the position from Morgana. She starts the game as a shut-in who does not go to school, leave her house, or have any friends, due to the grief and self-loathing she experienced over feeling that she was responsible for her mother's death, eventually joining the Phantom Thieves after recruiting them for their otherworldly services.

She was originally designed with black hair and a goth aesthetic, and is voiced by Erica Lindbeck in English and Aoi Yūki in Japanese. Lindbeck was told to come up with her own voice profile to avoid sounding like Yūki. She appeared in multiple sequels and spin-offs of Persona 5, including Persona 5 Strikers and Tactica. She has also appeared in non-video game adaptations of Persona 5, including through anime, manga, live performance, musical, and others.

Ever since her original appearance, she has been generally well received, receiving multiple pieces of merchandise. She was the fourth highest-rated character in a PlayStation poll, and was regarded as a role model by multiple critics due to her depression and the path she took to overcome it.
