History Characters / DanganronpaAntebellum

* MeaningfulName: "Ismene" is a female Greek name that means "knowledgeable," fitting for someone with her academic skills. Her surname, "Circe" was also the name of a withc from Greek Mythology.

* TheAlcoholic: She drinks as a way of communing with Dionysus, and even has a chest of wine she keeps under her bed.

* InterruptedIntimacy: She and Lyra were ''very'' close to something major happening, only for Taka to show up and want to join their "sleepover."
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: While Ismene can come off as rude and dismissive, she genuinely cares for people who consider her a friend. She's particularly broken up by Dracul's death and is heartbroken to learn about Lyra's crime.
* JustifiedCriminal: It's hard to say Ismene's wrong when she says her professor deserved it.

* MeaningfulName: "Ismene" is a female Greek name that means "knowledgeable," fitting for someone with her academic skills.

* WasItAllALie: She's worried about this regarding Lyra, and once her secrets are revealed, Ismene asks if Lyra really plans to stick around or if she'll use her as a source of entertainment and move on. She admits she cares about her, but is worried she's just LovingAShadow. Lyra admits the opposite: she ''does'' care about Ismene, and it scares her to think that. Ismene suggests they could work on being better together.

* TheGhost: She's yet to appear in the actual game, but she's mentioned a few times and is featured prominently in bonus videos.

* DarkSkinnedRedhead: Her hair is bright pink.

* AnArmAndALeg: His body is found floating in a tank, with his leg floating in a different one.

* PeacefulInDeath: When her body is found by Shinku, Asuga and Mint, she's floating on her back in a pond, covered in vines and with a flower resting on her chest. While there's clearly blood in her hair, she looks ''far'' more peaceful compared to [[AnArmAndALeg Taka's death]].

* FingerlessGloves: She wears these.

-->'''Yui:''' He is...a demon. A flawed creature, but he is ''perfect,'' a damn saint of an honorable villain, that boy is. Because he...he could be so much, but he doesn't ''try.'' He retreats away from himself, he retreats away from me, and laziness angers me above all else, because as my father said, "there are no ugly people, only lazy ones."

[[folder:The Architect '''(MAJOR SPOILERS)''']]

* DaddysGirl: She's quite close with her father, who actually ''encouraged'' a lot of her bad behavior and always drilled it into her head that she needs to find a husband.

* IncompatibleOrientation: The biggest reason why she and Eiichi were never gonna happen was because he's gay. Not that it was going to stop her. WordOfGod has even stated that, while Eiichi made it clear he's not interested in her romantically, Yui believed that she could [[CureYourGays "cure" him.]]

* SingleWomanSeeksGoodMan: She is ''obsessed'' with finding a man, to the point that she literally asks Shinku in ''all'' of her free time events if he'll be her boyfriend. This was also a major motivating factor in her treatment of Eiichi.

* HardDrinkingPartyGirl: What she likes.

* FriendToAllChildren: Much of Melody Pretty's fanbase is made up of children, and she's very sweet with them. In ''Voice Actress.mp3'', when confronted with photos of her criminal record, she desperately asks Lillith to stop for fear of scaring the kids.

* BeneathTheMask: The ''real'' Maiko Yuzuki is a lot more soft-spoken, socially awkward, irritable and

* OlderThanSheLooks: You'd be forgiven for not realizing Maiko's actually the oldest among the cast, at 26.

* AmbiguouslyBrown: Subverted. Maiko ''is'' biracial, but her mother actually made her take tanning pills as part of some fashion trend. WordOfGod has said these contributed to her overall poor health.
* BecomingTheMask: Played with. Maiko began voicing Melody Pretty as a young girl, finding comfort in the character as she grew up in an abusive household. While she intentionally puts on the persona of Melody Pretty, she can drop it if she wants, she just ''really'' prefers to be Melody Pretty because she believes it's the only reason why people would like her. It even allowed her to distance herself from her murders. Voicing the character has become such a core part of her identity that, even during her execution, Maiko ''cannot'' bring herself to admit that she isn't really Melody Pretty.

* FormerChildStar: Maiko's been voicing Melody Pretty since she was only seven and saying it's had an impact on her mental health would be an understatement.

* MagicalGirl: Her outfit and persona give off this vibe, and of course these are based on the character she voice acts.

* HardDrikingPartyGirl: What she likes

* WisBeyondTheirYears: When Mint visits her in the hospital, she asks about their financial situation and tells Mint he doesn't have to visit her all the time. Mint counters by saying she shouldn't try to be so mature for her age. She even muses that she's spent so long worrying about dying and making peace with it that she's forgotten how to hope.

Mint's sickly younger sister.

* ICanChangeMyBeloved: At the start of Chapter 3, Emilia admits to Shinku that she's been subject to this so often from so many people, none of which has helped, that she doesn't really want to be fixed anymore. She feels guilty about it either way.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: She's rude, condescending and obnoxious, but also has a very caring side to her. She absolutely loves her older sister and would do anything to get her back.

* DarkAndTroubledPast: What little is made clear is that after her parents kicked her out, she was left homeless and hungry, and was eventually recruited by the mafia for drug-dealing. She lost her friend Callum and tried to have a secret second life with Takiko and Sachiko, but when her boss found out, he had Sachiko killed and recruited Takiko as well, forbidding them from seeing each other. Then, a year later, she ends up in a killing game.

* {{Deuteragonist}}: After Shinku, she's the most prominent character in the story.

** Chapter 3 provides a few flashbacks to her old life, such as her being recruited by Mr. Shedo, meeting Callem and later Sachiko...and how it all comes to an end.

* DoWrongRight: When Kotaro tries to give Shinku poisoned tea in Chapter 3, Rei comes in, analyzes the situation and tries to put a stop to it...because it needs more mystery. He asks Kotaro who he thinks is really responsible: Shinku if he drank it intentionally, Kotaro for making the tea or Rei for giving it to Shinku knowing it's poisoned. He finds the idea a fun psychological discussion, which is enough to put Kotaro off from the idea. Of course, he also swapped out the

Kohana Shinjushitsu (A stage name that means a child of flowers born from the mother of pearl) is a highly famous Lolita fashion model, trying all types of Lolita fashion from [=OTT=] sweet to gothic to classic to steampunk... You name it Kohana has modelled it. While generally loved by the media she is usually hated by those also in the lolita fashion community.

Taka can be quite cynical and is always looking for a story to tell, he has quite bad performance anxiety and spam feels he doesn't deserve the fame he gets. He puts on a smiley persona most of the time, but secretly despises pandering to old people and cares mostly about the money and being "cool" to the youths.

* RedEyesTakeWarning: When his eyes glow, it's typically when he's up to something.

* DestroyTheEvidence: Not anything he did personally, but he ''did'' do this at various crime scenes to make them more interesting for his true crime show. He comes to regret this by the start of Chapter 3, admitting he wasn't thinking of the consequences
