History Characters / AStudentOutOfTimeHopesPeak

An assembly of particularly ambitious, power-hungry men who have had a hand in managing Hope's Peak. Despite their supposed mission of inspiring hope to the nation of Japan, they have orchestrated multiple illegal actions to obtain their twisted desires: one of which was the Kamakura Project.

* StraightGay: Just like in canon, Juzo is a closeted gay man. [[spoiler:During the ''Twisted Sister Aftermath'' Arc,]] he's rightfully furious after learning from the readers that Junko used his sexuality and crush to blackmail him.

* AwesomeByAnalysis: As a talented psychologist, she can analyze a person's behavior and even predict what they're about to say or feel on a subject matter. It's often been coined as "mind-reading".

* IWantGrandkids: When she learns that [[spoiler: Mikako saw a vision of herself with a female romantic partner, she asks if her daughter has ever thought about artificial insemination]].

* IOweYouMyLife: For saving his sister from potential death, along with all of the good deeds he's done, Fuyuhiko assures Hajime that his yazuka clan are at his service when needed.

* {{Yakuza}}: It's his Ultimate talent, and while having his own code of ethics, he makes it clear his world and even some of his actions are brutal and not worth romanticizing.

* ProfessionalKiller: She has experience with killing people who have wronged the Kuzuryu Clan. It's implied that she was the one who killed Honami in the original timeline for killing Natsumi.

The Ultimate Photographer. A compassionate, if somewhat confrontational, girl who becomes suspicious of her classmates' activities.

* OfficialCouple: [[spoiler: With Honami.]]

* WhatYouAreInTheDark: She has made it clear that she doesn't trust Kasugano and also [[spoiler:knows he's Hajime at this point]]. However, [[spoiler:when she and Hiyoko are kidnapped by Junya's traffickers, he offers to let them both go if she tells him who Kasugano is.]] She basically tells him to pound sand.

* IHatePastMe[=/=]FutureMeScaresMe: [[spoiler: He's shocked to discover how much of a deranged terrorist he was in the original timeline thanks to his old twisted morality, which he has started to move on from. He promises to do better for his friends and apologizes for his behavior both in the future and before his surgery.]]

* MeaningfulAppearance: [[spoiler:After being treated for his cancer and dementia, along with spending more time with Kanata and her father, Nagito ends up having a healthy tan skin color and brown hair. Both of these are a sign of his health becoming better.]]
* OfficialCouple: [[spoiler:With [[TheMedic Kanata Inori]]. In one of Mikako's visions, they even get married.]]

* FamilyDrama: Her father is a shameless whore who constantly hits on every woman in a three foot radius, married three of them who each gave birth to three children. Her dad is hardly around to provide and the third (and current) mom, Honoka, does what she can to watch over the children leaving it to the gymnast to bring in the money to provide for everyone.
* LikeParentLikeChild: According to Akane, her biological mother as a professional athlete with a tough personality.

* AdaptationalNiceGuy: Believe it or not, this version of Teruteru is more thoughtful in regards to how he portrays his perverted antics compared to his canon incarnation. He even rages out at an anon who suggested that he would go as far as to offer a drugged meal if given the opportunity.

* HalfBreedDiscrimination: He admits that he used to be teased a lot for being a "hafu" as a kid but he never let it bother him.

* UnPerson: Befitting their identity as a person of mystery, they have no legitimate documents or legal identification. This was actually {{invoked}} due to [[spoiler:the Imposter not wanting to jeopardize the safety of their adopted mother who is a government agent with a long list of enemies]].

* BecauseImGoodAtIt: Estu really doesn't enjoy her profession but she goes through with it because she's talented at it and receives financial support from the school. [[spoiler:She later develops a talent for baking that she enjoys more, and opens a bakery in the future.]]

* CreepyMortician: Her ultimate talent and has a grim presence. That said, she is still a decent person.
* DarkIsNotEvil: While she's somber, never one to mince words and has been forced to assist in Hope's Peak's coverups several times, Estu is nevertheless a morally decent person. At [[spoiler: Kana's funeral]], she encourages the members of the Quantum to save as many people as they can and to help make their lives better. She also isn't fond of temples that financially pressure people and thus she arranges smaller funerals for those who need it, and can't stand families who don't want transgender people buried in their desired gender's clothes.

* UnknownRival: She had no idea that Nikei considers her his news rival until being informed of it.

* BitchInSheepsClothing: Behind her sugary appearance lies a bitter girl who believes the worst in others. [[spoiler:Thankfully she gets better after talking things out with her friends and therapist]].

* SecretTestOfCharacter: PlayedForDrama: Apparently the real reason why Ruruka asked Seiko to create so many products is to determine how talented the witch is and (in her mind) confirms that she doesn't want to make a medicine that can temper her allergic reactions.

* AdaptationPersonalityChange: Miaya has more of a personality here given that the story takes place in the past and how [[KillAndReplace she wasn't killed and replaced by Monaca's robot]] like in [=DR3=].

* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: While [[DownplayedTrope downplayed]], as he is still incredibly rude and willing to [[spoiler:murder to sate his curiosity, he does want to stop Junko from destroying the world and even offers to erase Kyoji's memories of the Kamukura Project to help with his self-loathing. He also has no delusions about himself being a decent person and intends to turn himself in when everything is all said and done.]]

* ChildProdigy: It's her talent.
* ConnectedAllAlong: She's friends with Umeko and used to know the Warriors of Hope when they attended the Elementary division.

* OpenMindedParents: Didn't seem to mind [[spoiler:her daughter being possible attracted to women.]]

* JerkassToOne: She often expresses discontent towards Kyoji due to [[spoiler:having to take care of the deceased human test subjects that were involved in the Kamakura Project. Even then, she does request he seek counseling and doesn't truly hate him.]]

* OddFriendship: To the surprise of many, she considers the the somber, pessimistic Estu her best friend. [[spoiler: And it's also implied Mayumi has feelings for her.]]
