Archetypes in Persona have a relationship to each other. We tend to think of the range of attributes as a continuum or a wheel:

Much like a color wheel we see that there are similar, inverted, synonymous, and complimentary archetypes. Here is a bit more on each of those:

• Similar Archetypes are archetypes positioned next to each other on the color wheel.

• Inverted Archetypes are the heroic- or villainous opposite of an archetype.

• Synonymous Archetypes are archetypes located at the same position of a given archetype on different color wheels.

• Complementary Archetypes are archetypes positioned directly across from each other on the color wheel.

Each character has a section in the create mode that shows the connections to the other archetypes as mentioned above. Here are two examples--one for the Man in Charge and one for the Valedictorian:
