Futaba Sakura - A highly capable "hacker girl"
A girl one year younger than Joker.
She has extraordinary computing power and genius-level programming skills, but is not very good at communicating with others. In addition, she was once involved in an incident and stayed at home.
She met Joker and his group by chance and awakened her Persona ability.
Akechi: son of Hades. it makes the most sense that joker and akechi are the only ones who are kids of the big three. of those options, this is just what makes the most sense. neither of them are posideon kids lol
Ann: daughter of Aphrodite. imagine atlus wrote her arc well. also sexy technique is literally charmspeak
Ryuji: Son of Hermes. I like him, the runner, being the son of a god of travel and athletes. also, as the Hermes cabin is the newbie cabin, it would make sense for him to be the first person joker (assuming we're following his POV similar to p5/percy) meets and befriends. also I think he'd just be very sweet helping new campers and helping them feel welcomed.
Yusuke: Son of Apollo or Dionysus. look. ik that he should be an Apollo kid. I know. but he gives the vibes of a Dionysus kid more. soooooo... whatever.
Makoto: Daughter of Athena. fucking obviously. no elaboration needed.
Futaba: Daughter of Hephaestus. technology, obviously, but also I feel like she'd resonate with the sort of. ugly unwanted recluse nature.
Haru: Daughter of Demeter. she gardens. she's pretty. thats abt it.
Sumire: Would it be weird to say daughter of Nike? since so much of her character is about pursuing victory as/on behalf of her sister, I feel like it could present an interesting internal conflict. this one is still up for debate tho.
BONUSES:
Shiho: Hebe or nemesis? not sure yet
Hifumi: Also probably an Athena kid. this makes sense as makoto is her knock-off LMAO
Mishima: Mishima isn't real because I dont like him
Morgana: Maybe .... . . a satyr????? id ont fucking know
god i HAVE to talk about this so im writing a roleswap au for persona 5 and the basics (without too many spoilers) is Akechi Goro is a transfer student on probation after 6 months in juvie attending shujin academy, Kurusu Akira is a rising-star journalist from Inaba writing under the pen name Amamiya Ren, Takamaki Ann is a delinquent at shujin, Sakamoto Ryuji is the track star at shujin, Kitagawa Yusuke is the shut-in artist, Sakura Futaba is the eccentric hacker, Niijima Makoto is the mature third-year girl, and Okumura Haru is the student council president.
Further, Niijima Sae is the strict but caring teacher, Kawakami Sadayo is the public prosecutor, Iwai Munehisa is the sketchy back-alley doctor, and Takemi Tae is the model weaponry manufacturer. I even swapped Kasumi and Sumire!!

Edit: it's up!!!!! look for "The Elevator to Heaven is Poorly Maintained" by MercilessMidnight on Ao3!!!!!
after reading comments about the previous comic on reddit and twitter I realised it wasn’t fair to make a comic about adults rejecting Ren. here’s one where Ren gets rejected by everyone
