After Rise Kujikawa accepts her Shadow and awakened her Persona a second
Teddie appears. seeing it Rise warns that there is another presence and
considering that Teddie

> is actually a Shadow

i figured someone else created and was controlling the other Teddie.

At first i thought maybe it might have been Ameno-sagiri since it talks about
the fog, the voice is similar and Ameno-sagiri has been shown to be able to
control others

> such as when Adachi is defeated Ameno-sagiri takes over his body

however the Other Teddie also talks about the futility in seeking the Truth
when people are incapable of accepting it, this seems more like what Izanami
says.

So i am wondering who was the presence behind the other Teddie?

question
persona4
Who was controlling the other Teddie?


Speaking from the view of someone who completed the game and watched the
original anime. Teddy is basically a walking anomaly as he's a

> Shadow who became human after interacting more with people

Because of this his ego manifested reversely. In Persona 3 the concept of a
controllable ego was something that only a select few people had.

However in Persona 4 all who enter the tv world must confront their ego and
accept it in order to manifest a persona. Most people are killed by their ego
instead.

Teddy, as he interacted more with the protagonist and the investigation team
slowly began to ask himself things he never did before:

  * Who am I?
  * What am I?
  * Why am I here?
  * Where did I come from?

He slowly but surely realized the simple fact of what he was but refused to
accept it. Because of that inner conflict he discovered his own alter ego
which manifested and after accepting it he learned to wield the power of
persona.

Most people fight to discover their inner-self he fought because he already
knew his inner self and wanted to be different.

Because of that he along with Naoto and kanji has one of the 3 most
interesting inner-conflict that is portrayed marvelously in his character
development in spite of him being a "joke" character.

In respect to your last comment about Izanami, because of Teddie's origination
it makes sense to infer that he had a closer connection to Izanami than the
other character's shadows so the wordplay by both dialogues adds credibility
to that hypothesis.
