Teddie

Overview

Teddie lives in the 'TV world' and to has resided there "since the beginning". Early on he befriends the player and his investigation team helping them find people stuck in the TV world with his nose. As the story unfolds Teddie's nose gets worse and the team must find clues to give his nose a little help. Eventually Teddie joins the fighting side of the team when Rise Kujikawa takes his place as the analyst, with her investigative Persona Himiko has superior scanning capabilities. Teddie seems to be the only person able to create an exit in the TV world, and when he is in the real world, he is automatically disguised as a human, who emerges from the TV dressed in a suit identical to his real body. Throughout the story, much like his social link, Teddy is seen trying to adapt to the fact that he isn't human, and learning how to be a "real person" anyway.

Midnight Channel

Teddie's shadow in the Midnight Channel occurs after the Party defeats Rise's shadow. When it appears the party is going to be killed, Teddy activates his "Last stand" and attempts to sacrifice himself. After this, his shadow appears from behind him, and begins to question his existence. The shadow tries to tell him he too is nought but a mere shadow, and Teddy can't accept this. Predictably, his shadow enrages, and the party are forced to fight and defeat him.

Combat

Teddie is a strong caster in combat. His primary weapons are claws and fists. His primary uses are Ice magic, healing and buffing, making him an exceptionally versatile character. He doesn't quite have the raw power of Yukiko's Salvation, but makes up for it in his ability to buff defense and attack on the entire party. It can be noted that he is one of two characters whose persona keeps a weakness upon evolution, which is unfortunate, as the other character that keeps weaknesses is Yukiko, the alternate healer. His follow-up attack is the "Bear strike" which knocks down and dizzies a single target.

Social Link

Teddie's social link is one of 3 that goes up automatically as the game progresses, the other two being Fool and Judgement. Teddie's social link is essentially what is written in the overview, with his acceptance and understanding of what he really is.

After completing the social link, Yu receives the ability to create Helel of the Star Arcana.

Persona 4 Arena

In Persona 4 Arena, it is revealed that two months after the murder investigation's end, Teddie is still living with Yosuke and working at Junes. While working his shift, he passes by the TV in the electronics department and senses something odd, as though there's someone in the TV world that he's never sensed before. He dives into the TV to investigate, only to become trapped in a TV world incarnation of Yasogami High School. He also learns that an impostor dubbed "General Teddie" is hosting a cruel fighting tournament involving his friends, and resolves to put a stop to it. However, he also encounters a cute girl that claims to be Yasogami's student council president. Seeing that she can't use a Persona, he chooses to become her "knight" and protect her.
