Both of them are teenage protagonists of critically acclaimed series, who suffer from great emotional pain that they have to deal with (namely their best friend slowly succumbing to absolute despair), while leading a double life as a student and a monster hunter (said monsters being born from negative human emotions, and reside in alternate dimensions which only the heroes know about). Both of them started out as complete opposites, but slowly open up to their comrades over the course of their adventures. Due to their personalities, they usually find themselves at odds with the protagonist's best friend, albeit this became more playful over time, and is usually depicted as a running gag. Both of them are part of a super-powered sub-species of humans, which gives them a range of magical abilities to combat the dark threats of their world after making a contract with a rather mysterious, seemingly cold yet awfully polite person, with Ann becoming a Persona user after making a contract with Igor, and Kyoko becoming a Magical Girl after making a contract with Kyubey.
