Persona 5
Futaba is an antisocial genius in computing, programming and hacking. However, a certain incident has caused the prodigy programmer to be a shut-in, and she has not attended school ever since graduating middle school. By her age, she should have been a first year student in high school.

She eventually joins the Phantom Thieves of Hearts and begins to overcome her hardship.

She is the team navigator, much like Mitsuru Kirijo, Fuuka Yamagishi, Teddie, and Rise Kujikawa were. Similar to Rise in Persona 4 Golden, Futaba also provides buffs for the party in battle besides analyzing the enemies.
