okay so apparently the shiny new thing is much shinier and newer than I thought, here’s a rundown of what info I can find
The protagonist has no official name yet, as is typical. He’ll probably get an unofficial and official one later, much like Akira/Ren and the previous protagonists. His codename is Wonder.
His Persona is Janosik, presumably based off the Slovak highwayman Juraj Jánošík. Though the real Jánošík was understandably Just Some Guy (of the robber variety), his name has been attached to the concept of a folk hero comparable to Robin Hood – someone who steals from the rich and gives to the poor.
His design seems to be directly based off of Joker’s, to the point I’d wager that they probably share (or at least have extremely similar) model rigs. He wields a knife.

Our little animal dude this time around appears to be an owl named Lufiel / Luffy. His codename is Cattle for some reason??
His Persona is Rob Roy, who takes on a distinctly mecha appearance for being based off a Scottish outlaw. Rob Roy, real name Robert MacGregor, became a folk hero within his own lifetime after a dramatized account of his life (The Highland Rogue) was published in 1723; MacGregor was 52 years old at the time.
Like Morgana, Lufiel’s appearance switches between “fairly normal animal” and “just a little guy” depending on which world he’s in. Also like Morgana, he can transform into a vehicle and transport the other main characters. He appears to wield tonfa.

The third and final identified member of the main cast at the moment is Motoha Arai, codename Closer.
Her Persona appears to be Arveda, though don’t take that spelling to heart. Given the nautical-themed appearance, I THINK it’s based off Alfhild, Viking pirate and daughter of Geatish king Siward. When her father arranged for her to marry Prince Alf of Denmark, Alfhild ran and became a pirate instead, captaining crews of other female pirates and raiding along the Baltic coasts.
Ngl I’m pretty sure she’s the final form of that one untextured model found in P5′s data. God help me but I don’t know what to call her weapon, it’s a chain with a weight on the end?
☆ ★ ☆ ★ ☆ ★
Other stuff of note:
A female student at Kiba Kokatsu Academy, which is the featured high school this time around. It’s unclear if this character will join the main team.
The design of a strange new app which, like the MetaNav, appears abruptly on phones, can’t be deleted, and allows access to a separate world.
New Velvet Room attendant! Her name appears to be Merope, breaking from the Frankenstein character naming convention the other Velvet Room attendants have followed.

Analysis
Cattle seem to be a great healer, with a focus on buffing allies' attacks to pile on damage, especially Fire damage. Unlike other Phantom Idols like Kii, whose support only works with other Fire users, Cattle can serve as a general attack buffer that can slot well into any team.
While his attack buffing power is not as great as Leo, and his healing isn't as proficient as Morgana's, being able to do both at the same time is what allows him to serve as a good medium that can still remain relevant whether you are winning the battle and need to pile on damage, or are low on health.
Potential Teams he would have good synergy with would be:
Cattle - Ann - Kii: Provides major Fire damage with Kii's [Sacrifice] stacks and Cattle's [Star Fire] + Fire Damage boosts from Awareness and his HIGHLIGHT, will allow Ann to reach insane amounts of damage, while still allowing for some safety with a healer. All of the characters benefit from enemies being burned (Cattle for providing [Star Fire] to allies, Kii for setting him up for DOT damage, and Ann for more damage in general), making this team very efficient as long as the enemies don't resist Fire.
Cattle - Leo - Ann: Same benefits from above, but even more damage thanks to Leo's insane attack buffs, at the cost of fewer chances to get Burn off on enemies, as well as less damage overall from the much weaker Leo. Leo's shields provide a useful layer of defense for Ann and Cattle, allowing them to survive longer. However, with this team, the goal is to finish the battle as soon as possible, as without the comparatively tankier Kii, all of these characters are not suited to take any big hits.
Due to Cattle's versatility, he can slot well into any team, but these seemed to be the most standout in teams of team synergy and utilizing Cattle's supportive strengths.
