In "True Colors," players control a new protagonist, a young Asian American woman named Alex Chen, played by Erika Mori, who moves to the town of Haven Springs. Upon her arrival, she's reunited with her brother Gabe for a short time, until a mysterious tragedy occurs -- or as Square Enix describes it, a "so-called accident." To find out what happened, along with uncovering "dark secrets" within the town, Alex uses her psychic power of Empathy. This allows her to absorb and manipulate the emotions of others. At the beginning of the game, Alex refers to her power as a curse, as this power can take over her own emotions if she's not careful.
