So I finished persona 5 before, and after some years I bought persona 5 royal and I am playing now, and Futaba has been one of my least favorite member of the phantom thieves since my first playthrough, mostly because her character to me is just "I am a hacker" I now she has really tragic backstory and her dungeon is one of the highest points in persona 5, and the necronomicon (her persona) design and idea is really great, but her clothes are just so.... Simple, and boring? Like it's cool, but for example.

Ryuji's is a skull, to represent his rebellion but also how he already places himself as scary to others, and it works with the skeleton motif around the body, but also iron, he broke his leg, it's almost as he is trying to protect his bones,

 Ann's is a panther, because she is not just a cute sexy girl, but can fight back, like a phanter, so that's why he wave various "sex" ideas around, almost as just turning into her strength, 

 Yusuke represent the old and traditional Japanese art, so him using the name fox and a traditional Japanese fox mask is fitting as foxes usually are tricksters, and him taking the old traditional Japanese ways and pulling one of the most modern weapons (automatic rifles) makes sense as he is from the modern world and learns from the modern world 

 And Makoto (best girl) uses a big ass mask that she uses to shield herself from others and show her theme as a "biker" fighting close, but feels more like a western cowboy, with a revolver and fight not by the law but for what is right,

 

 And then we get Futaba after that, just a tron like black clothes with lines, and big googles, just to say "she uses technology, she is a hacker" it feels so weak and you can't even take more ideas out of the design different then Ryuji's per example which, besides him showing himself as a delinquent, so a skull, a symbol of danger to a delinquent is befitting, spikes in Makoto's suit make sense, as she is someone who is violent when it comes to justice, meanwhile Futaba gets big googles for the nerd who uses big glasses.

Am I missing something because of my dislike of her, or is it just really the weakest design of the phantom thieves, and I will repeat, her dungeon is great, her backstory is great, the persona design is great, it's just... Her? Really like the main thing, the character.

(And I didn't talk about Haru because she doesn't appear until later in the game and I am still replaying so probably I will think about her themes later, and I said that Futaba is one of my least favorite members, because my least favorite, the one I despise, is Morgana so I ain't talking about this goddamn cat)

Is there any logic in Futaba's phantom thief design besides "I am a hacker"
