Those are the words that would describe Ken Amada. Ever since he lost his mother at a young age, he was someone who forced himself to grow up. Despite life’s circumstances, Ken manages to be resilient and turn out to become a better version of himself.
One of the first things that stands out about Ken is how mature he is. Throughout Persona 3, people have commented how he doesn’t act like his age. Between going to the shrine often, training, and being polite, he never allows himself a day off. This was proven as Junpei mentioned if he was secretly an old man. While it wasn’t stated in canon, there is this message that he is someone who is so mature and hard working, he frequently is the envy of many students. In Persona 3 Dancing in Moonlight, he stated that he gets lots of love letters from girls because of how studious he is. With this, he comes across as someone who acts really cool for his age. Additionally, he frequently uses Japanese honorifics to everyone around him as a way to prove how mature and polite he is.
However the most prominent example of his maturity is during the events of the Answer. When everyone was fighting over if they should bring the male main character back to life, Ken said that they shouldn’t. He stated that it was the male main character’s choice to give up his life in order to save them. He wouldn’t dare go against his wish as it would be disrespectful to him. This shows how mature he is for someone his age.
However, with this sense of maturity, he doesn’t have the most favorable outlook on life. Once again, he is someone who lost his mother at a young age and nobody believed the real reason for her death. Due to this, he has this sense that adults (and people in general) only want to believe what they want to believe regardless if it’s a lie. He doesn’t trust people in general as he is never sure of what their true intentions are. This was proven as he was left by himself after his mother’s death. While he has financial support from family members, he didn’t have anyone to give him comfort. Furthermore, he also told Shinjiro (his mother’s killer) how people only give him pity. It had gotten to a point where he would kill himself after killing Shinjiro. The reason was how he didn’t have a reason to live once his revenge was done. This further shows how much he doesn’t have a positive outlook on life as he believes people only want to get the most out of others.
Luckily, after the events from The Answer, he is slowly starting to see the good in humanity as he can see people are emotionally fragile. After what he's been through, he only wants to help others to overcome their problems.
Finally, Ken is someone who is extremely resilient. Despite witnessing his mother’s death, fighting at a young age, and dealing with psychological trauma of facing death, he manages to come out a strong and determined young boy. After battling his friends and seeing the reason for the male main character’s death, he does come to realize that he needs to form bonds with others to help humanity as a whole. He is slowly trying to be empathetic and kind to others. This was shown as he never blamed Yukari for everything during The Answer and instead sympathized with her as he wanted to see their dead friend back.
Despite how empathetic and cool headed he can be, Ken is very emotional. He might not show it but his emotions do get the better of him as he allows it to nearly get himself killed. It was his emotions of anger, sadness, and regret that made him not think clearly to the point where he’ll go so far to kill someone. He even stated himself that his own emotions of how he didn’t want to be alone drove him to go so far. Furthermore, when someone teases him to state how he should act his age, he would occasionally tell them off. Additionally, Ken is still a kid as he doesn’t know how to control his own emotions just yet. While he is getting better (such as allowing himself to make good judgment when he’s calmer), it would occasionally pop up.
Since Ken can be emotional, he comes across as childish. He tries hard to make himself look like an adult, it serves himself as a reminder that he’s still a kid. Throughout his canon, he tries various ways to make himself look mature such as drinking milk to grow taller (despite how it hurts his stomach), drinking black coffee (even though he hates it) and hiding his love for a children’s show (when he knows so much about it). When these issues come up, Ken responds by denying it or attempting to change the subject. While most of this can be chalked up to his age, it still shows how he’s someone who is too serious for his own good.
Despite everything Ken went through, one has to remember that he’s still a kid. He knows he messed up badly and wants to do everything to make it right. He had three deaths all resolving to save his life and wants to make the most out of it. He knows he still has a lot to learn in life and will do everything to make it up to everyone around him.
Time of Arrival to Kaisou: Immediate Items: Spear, His Uniform, Evoker Retained Ability: He would have his Persona, Kala-Nemi but it wouldn’t be able to do much damage. Instead, when arriving in Kaisou, he would only start out with its innate attacks. As time goes by, he will slowly regain his abilities in the following order from Hama to Mediarahan.
