History Characters / DanganronpaV3FemaleStudents

* TheHeavy: Unlike the mastermind of the original reality, the real Junko Enoshima who always lays back behind the scenes, Tsumugi is a rather active contestant in the killing game.

* {{Expy}}: Her design is very similar to Natsumi Kuzuryu, the younger sister of one of the ''VisualNovel/{{Danganronpa 2|GoodbyeDespair}}'''s main cast. Their similarities are even more apparent due to [[https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/danganronpa/images/b/b7/Danganronpa_2_CG_-_Natsumi_Kuzuryu%27s_corpse.png/revision/latest?cb=20180605000746 Natsumi being murdered near a piano.]] Because of their similarities, and that their birthdays are only a day apart [[note]]Kaede was born on March 26 and Natsumi on March 27, meaning if they were born around midnight, they'd technically be a day apart[[/note]], and also Tsumugi claiming Kaede has a younger twin sister, plus the fact that her original cynical personality would fit with the Kuzuryu siblings' personalities, there's a fan theory that they're twins that were SeparatedAtBirth.

* SpellMyNameWithAnS: Toujou, Tōjō, or Tojo.

* CatSmile: Her protruding upper lip causes many of her smiles to look like this, to the point Miu starts calling her "Donkey Lips". Showcased in one of her sprites and the official art.

* PassiveAggressiveKombat: Through her act as a NiceGirl, Tsumugi's true villainous self still seeps through as she treats the other participants like idiots and speaks to them in a ''completely'' passive-aggressive tone, pointing out the obvious all the time as if they don't already know it. It's no wonder that she turns out to be the BigBad with an attitude like that.

* StarterVillain: Retroactively, she is the first ''actual'' culprit of the killing game, as Kaede's defeat in Chapter 1 is meaningless since she never actually killed Rantaro and it was [[BigBad Tsumugi]] the entire time, who instead becomes the FinalBoss when she's eventually accused of the murder in the final trial.

* GoneHorriblyRight: She forces the mastermind to come out of hiding as part of her plot to keep the 53rd killing game going for the outside world's entertainment... at the expense of her own life and being deceived into thinking she murdered an innocent person. Kaede only ''partially'' accomplished the goal she had for the chapter she was alive in, as it's made clear she herself intended to make friends with the others after escaping.

* BewareTheNiceOnes: Kirumi is one of the most courteous characters in the series, due to being an incredibly devoted {{Meido}} girl who will do anything for her clients, as long as it's not indecent. Said devotion ends up driving her to also become one of the ''most'' strategic and near-successful culprits alongside that, [[ThePerfectCrime nearly winning the trial in Chapter 2]] if not for her distinctive black gloves tearing off due to rope burn, as part of her plan to escape into Japan at the expense of the other students' lives and return to her role as the supposed de facto Prime Minister of Japan.

* NoSocialSkills: Downplayed. It's not that she can't talk to people; it's that she can only seem to do it as a maid instead of a human being.

* SmallNameBigEgo: A downplayed example, but pre-CharacterDevelopment, Himiko had a tendency to take credit for things by insisting they happened because of her magic. She grows out of this over the course of the game.

* RedAndBlackAndEvilAllOver: Downplayed. She's an assassin who has killed more people than she can count, but she isn't quite devoid of empathy and she makes it out of the killing game with her head on her shoulders.

* ActionGirl: She's one badass Aikido Master.

* AllMenArePerverts:
** [[InvokedTrope Tenko expresses this clearly]] in any moment involving a boy being in accusation of something that would make him an enemy of the group, as she specifically uses the word "degenerate" to describe boys. Whenever a boy tries to defend himself, she ignores his actual reasoning and assumes he's trying to save face.
** Her discord between males and their pervertedness is hypocritical (a factor she decides not to control) and ironic (a factor the producers forced): she acts extremely perverted toward Himiko, and excuses Miu's behaviour because she's female. The irony behind this trait of hers is that [[MsFanservice she has two scenes featuring her in a state of public indecency in]] [[https://danganronpa.fandom.com/wiki/Tenko_Chabashira/Image_Gallery?file=Danganronpa_V3_CG_-_Everywhere_Parasol_Scene.png#DRV3 a swimsuit]] [[MsFanservice and then]] [[https://imgur.com/a/6ZmoV9U completely nude]]. Doubly ironic is how they both happen at the pool area, the place where she stated that girls in swimsuits trigger a man's perverted tendencies more than girls who are naked and where she also revealed that she's inexperienced with swimming.

* TheMole: Downplayed. She joins Angie's cult in Chapter 3 because she worries about Himiko's state of mind. She never actually buys into the religion of Atua. Angie finds out after Tenko tries to convince her to not resurrect the dead using the Necronomicon, and Angie's only response is to express mild regret and hope that Tenko reconsiders her loyalty.

* MsFanservice: Ironically, Tenko is another female source of appeal for the male fans of the game. Doubly ironic, her expressive distrust for males is somewhat serviceable for females who share the same mindset. Additionally, she's shown without upper clothing to the viewer in two graphics, which gives a very clear view of the rather impressive size of her breasts.

* OhCrap: During her free time, she reacts this way when Shuichi reminds her that her master is male.

* ShippingTorpedo: In a downplayed way, but in her Free Time with Kaede she tries to warn the girl to be careful around Shuichi as he's a degenerate male. [[CharacterDevelopment However, after the trial she comes to realize just how much Kaede meant to him and is one of the most understanding students when he is grieving her loss]], [[ShipperOnDeck and mentions Kaede's wish to Shuichi when he becomes uncertain of himself.]]
* ShyFingerTwiddling: Downplayed as Tenko isn't remotely "shy", but she often does this gesture in her 'nervous' sprite, complete with an awkward smile.

* SuperDrowningSkills: The moment the pool area is unlocked, she reveals that she is unable to swim. During the Ultimate Talent Development Plan, she's been taking swimming lessons from Hina.

* TakingTheBullet: Ultimately, offering herself as a vessel for Korekiyo's séance instead of Himiko is what leads to her death, since it was nothing more than a trap so Korekiyo could kill someone. She saved Himiko's life without even knowing it.

* UnskilledButStrong: Downplayed. While the only person in the game that could beat her in a fight by her own admission in the game itself is [[TheBigGuy Gonta]], in the ''Ultimate Talent Development Plan'' bonus mode, Nekomaru calls her out on having little grasp for technique despite her skill. He specifically compares her to Akane, as both need to work more on their fundamentals.

* OutOfFocus: Up until TheReveal, she was given very little importance in comparison to a lot of other characters.

* SelfDeprecation: After she "reveals" herself to be "Junko Enoshima the 53rd," she apologizes to all of Tsumugi's fans...if any even exist, that is.

* CatSmile: Has one in one of her sprites.

* FaceOfAnAngelMindOfADemon: Downplayed. She certainly appears cute with her cute gestures, face, and voice, but on top of her outright refusal of any other faiths and creepy requests for "blood sacrifices" in a school with no visible health facilities unlike the previous games, she turns out to be quite manipulative and manages to brainwash half of the remaining students into her cult while imposing strict rules onto everyone who isn't a part of it. Her attempt at control was made primarily for the sake of the students' safety, though.

* ForgottenFallenFriend: A downplayed example, but while Himiko grew close to Angie during the second and third chapters, it's ''Tenko'' that she mourns and mentions frequently after they both die in the third chapter.

* ILoveYouBecauseICantControlYou: Downplayed. She tells Shuichi in her final Free Time Event that she likes him so much because he's the first person who actually yelled at her.

* AerithAndBob: "Angie" is one of the most normal given names in the franchise, after Leon from the first game and Sonia from the second.

* BirdsOfAFeather: She unsurprisingly gets along very well with fellow musicians Sayaka and Ibuki in ''Ultimate Talent Development Plan'' and ''Ultimate Summer Camp''. Though in the latter, they remark that any band they ended up creating would probably be very short lived, because of the wildly differing musical styles, with Sayaka being a pop idol, Ibuki being into DeathMetal and Kaede a classical pianist.

* {{Expy}}: Her design is very similar to Natsumi Kuzuryu, the younger sister of one of the ''VisualNovel/{{Danganronpa 2|GoodbyeDespair}}'''s main cast. Their similarities are even more apparent due to [[https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/danganronpa/images/b/b7/Danganronpa_2_CG_-_Natsumi_Kuzuryu%27s_corpse.png/revision/latest?cb=20180605000746 Natsumi being murdered near a piano.]] Because of their similarities, and that their birthdays are only a day apart [[note]]Kaede was born on March 26 and Natsumi on March 27, meaning if they were born around midnight, they'd technically be a day apart[[/note]], and also Tsumugi claiming Kaede has a younger twin sister, there's a fan theory that they're twins that were SeparatedAtBirth.

* OddFriendship: With Izuru in ''Ultimate Talent Development Plan''. She becomes the only person besides Chiaki to gain his interest and to ever get any real kindness from him.

** Like Sayaka Maizono from the first game Kaede is a very positive, charming and level headed young woman with a music based talent(and both love music because they can make others smile with it), they both befriend the nervous but sweet male protagonist of the game and become well liked in the group because of their sweet personality. Sadly they're also the first girls in their respective game to die after snapping under the pressure of losing their friends, in their final moments they tried doing the right thing (Sayaka writing the name of her killer, and Kaede getting Shuichi to expose her as the killer) and left a massive impact on the protagonist despite dying early.

* WellIntentionedExtremist: Instead of going through with Shuichi's plan to use cameras to capture a photo of the mastermind entering the hidden door in the library, Kaede conducted a rube goldberg trap to lure the mastermind over to it and kill them from the lookout classroom, making sure no one would notice it. Though it leads the mastermind to frame her, it ends up exposing said mastermind after all, because the trap failed, forcing the mastermind to come out and kill the victim themselves, then frame Kaede for the crime ''and'' [[{{Gaslighting}} gaslight]] her into thinking that she committed the murder herself.

* NonSequitur: Pretty much ''every line she says'' before she's revealed as the BigBad can count as one of these, as she's more likely to make irrelevant remarks and act as a UselessProtagonist by not contributing to investigations or even being a witness. Chapter 3 may be an exception, but her account about Angie exclusively letting Student Council members into her research lab only ends up leading the students ''away'' from finding Korekiyo as the culprit. The same thing applies to her spotting Miu on the opposite side of the Virtual World in the Neo World Program during Chapter 4 in a backwards way, as she ends up unintentionally [[AmbiguousSituation (possibly)]] sabotaging Kokichi's MercyKill in the process as well by revealing that Miu went to the rooftop where he was.
