SHSL Agent
Miss Luna is an enigma. A mystery. No one has heard of her and no one knows of her — or at least, of the name Miss Luna.

Spoiler Characters
L4NAE
An AI created by Miss Luna to bypass the Kuma-system. As a meta-joke, the laptop it resides it has a sticky note that says the password to access it is "curryrice", which - if you try to access the ego's blog - is what the actual password is. It's official designation is "Lagomorph 4 New Alter Ego".- Like Mother, Like Daughter: L4NAE's personality and appearance is based on its creator - save for some minor differences in hairstyle. The reason for L4NAE's slight difference in appearance to the actual Miss Luna is a nod to Usami of Danganronpa 2: Goodbye Despair, as it's essentially the "good" AI trying to help out the students and counteract Monokuma.
