"Well, I don't think that anyone can have one at birth, but most people that I've actually met have awakened to their Personas awakened because they had been wronged and were frustrated, and decided to rebel and take revenge. I'm a different case though, I actually met my own Shadow Self. Once I actually started listening and accepted it, it became my Persona. There might be more ways to awaken to the power though. Everyone has a Shadow Self, so there's the potential, but I don't know if a Persona could turn on its user if they weren't ready."

"It could, and it has happened before. People can awaken to their Personas like your friends, by confronting the society that's wronged then and taking revenge, yourself, by facing your Shadow Self and accepting it, or a few other methods, like SEES has, or playing the Persona Game."
