You are being watched.

INCOMING TRANSMISSION

We are being watched.

The government has a secret system - a machine - that spies on you every hour of every day. I know, because I built it. I designed the machine to detect acts of terror, but it sees everything, violent crimes involving ordinary people - people like you. The government considers these people irrelevant, but we don’t.

Victim, or perpetrator… If your number is up, we’ll find you.

END TRANSMISSION

RUN savethem.sh? (Y/N)

Exec- Save Them is a closed Tumblr and Discord-based Danganronpa roleplay group, drawing inspiration from the TV series Person Of Interest. When twenty students are locked in an unknown facility, and are forced to kill each other off in order to escape, all seems lost, but then a pay phone rings... On the other end, a mechanized voice parrots numbers back at them. The same amount of numbers each time. Enough numbers... to match a student ID?

What could they mean? Given a student ID, can you protect your classmates? Or will you be forced to watch them die, and go to trial to find their killer? The choice is yours, whether to execute...or save them.

How can you even escape? What with a thousand eyes watching, and a million ears listening...

Shiori Mayoshi

SHSL Cryptozoologist

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/shiori.png

"Aw, cheer up! You can ask them about hugging after we're outta here."

Shiori Mayoshi was raised by a folklorist, and grew up hearing about monsters and cryptids all his life. Mayoshi grew fond of the creatures in the tales, and made it his life’s mission to learn more about them. After claiming to have followed a singular Tengu throughout Japan from the ages 14 to 16, Mayoshi returned to his hometown, saying that he had found undeniable proof of the existence of the creature. Over the next year, Mayoshi continued to explore the woodlands of Japan, coming back with journals filled to the brim with evidence he had found of the (many) kinds of cryptids Japan offered. He made copies of the notebooks and sold them to other cryptozoologists, and grew infamous throughout the community, and eventually was offered a spot as a student at the prestigious Hope’s Peak Academy.

Shigemi Kiyono

SHSL School Band Member

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/shigemi.png

"This is something set up by the government, right? Or some sort of authority?"

Shigemi Kiyono, born in Kyoto, is a 17 year old musician who has risen to fame through his school band. He started practicing instruments in only 7th grade, but has still proven to be a prodigy when it comes to most instruments and has always risen to the top above the rest of his classmates. He specialises in trumpet and has won several awards on his skill. However, to this day, his name isn’t usually recognized for his talent, but for his father. His father is previously wanted public enemy, Akinori Kiyono, who was finally caught about 8 years ago. Ever since his arrest and reveal, the young Shigemi has received an overwhelming lot of attention, but strives to prove that he is nothing like his notorious father and to redeem his family name.

Moriarty

SHSL Good Luck

"Nya."

Not much is known about the SHSL Good Luck, Moriarty - except you can catch him and his strange cockatoo-like hairstyle every weekend night - when he’s supposed to be studying for tests! - at a gambling club called Higanbana. He’s said to have never lost a gamble, and he’s a legend to gamble against. So what earned him the SHSL Good Luck title instead of the SHSL Gambler title? No one knows for sure, but Moriarty has made a killing in Japan’s gambling underground...

Isamu Ueda

SHSL Private Investigator

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/isamu.png

"I'm not trying to play God here. If I was, I would have already finished this."

Isamu Ueda is a private investigator working out of his office in the Shibuya ward of Tokyo, Japan. His business is known as “Private Eye Dealings” and is supposedly the only employee of the office. His most notable achievements include solving the cases known as TK-5, GF-2, and VX-8.

Chapter 3 culprit. Executed.

Anime Hair: It's pink.
Batman Gambit: Murdered Moriarty hoping that the others would be willing to sacrifice someone innocent to grant his wish, which was all of them escaping.
Be Careful What You Wish For: For the third motive, he wished for everyone to escape. He killed for this wish, but Control told them before the execution that his idea of 'escape' is merely to kill them all, so even if his plan had worked, they all would have died.
Can't Take Criticism: He didn't exactly take what Isabella and Ryuu had to dish out very well. Granted, they had both unintentionally dug into every sore spot he had.
Cruel and Unusual Death: Shot through the heart by someone he once knew.
Private Detective: Well, investigator.

Tsuneo Enjou

SHSL Daredevil

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/neo_8.png

"If I can make it happen, then I made it happen. And if I don’t, then I’ll just suck it up and move on! Easy rules to enjoy a needlessly complicated life."

It’s a bird…It’s a plane…It’s Nutty Neo hurtling out of the sky at a hundred miles per hour! Tsuneo Enjou, known to the general public as Nutty Neo for the crazy feats he achieves on a regular basis, is a well-known daredevil and thrill-seeker of the highest order. The stunts he does are nothing short of extraordinary, ranging from setting the record for parachute deployment at the lowest altitude from a fixed height, to locking himself in a beehouse for two straight days, to highwire walking between the cliff walls of The Great Wall of China! Clearly, there is nothing that this young man won’t do, though recent media has shown him to be in and out of the hospital on a regular basis…Perhaps the stress of his high-profile work is starting to catch up to him?

Badass Adorable: The adorable part is obvious, but the badass part exhibits itself when he skilfully patches up Moriarty's wounds with the practiced efficiency of a nurse. Growing up in a hospital likely contributed to this.
Beware the Nice Ones: While he has a good heart, when he loses his patience with someone, he can be extremely vocal about refuting them.
- Tranquil Fury: Slips into this when extremely angry. He has since displayed this towards Tohru, when she claimed that no one could understand how she and her girlfriend had been victims since birth (he begged to differ), and Ryuu when they had their big spat during Chapter 4.
Big Brother Instinct: He extends this fondness to some of his classmates, particularly Ryuu, Tohru and Yuni.
Circus of Fear: A survivor of one, having been raised to avoid death at all costs for fifteen years.
Cuddle Bug: Likes getting hugs, loves giving them more!
The Cutie: One of many.
Dumb Blonde: Downplayed. He has no formal education, but is far from being stupid. That being said, he is quite the doofus, and has a tendency to act before thinking. See below.
Fatal Flaw: The inability to trust others with his inner decisions, which leads to some fraught tensions when he exploits said trust in Chapter 3. At least he's fully aware of it.
- The cause for this is revealed in Chapter 5. Two years of hiding his leukemia had left him unable to trust others with the whole truth, believing that it was better that he remained alone in the end.
Group Hug: Used to do these fairly often in Room 8, with Ryuu and Gyuhui. Until they have their massive falling out and he moves elsewhere. He returns to Room 8 in Chapter 5, but it's no longer a group hug when Ryuu has died, leaving Gyuhui as his sole surviving roommate.

The Idealist: Pledged to become a Daredevil to inspire others to be brave and overcome whatever odds were thrown against them. It's implied that he also wanted to leave a framework for others to take up his mantle once he inevitably died.
Keet: Always full of positive energy, and it doesn't take very long talking with him to find that out!
Large Ham: Get him speaking, and wait for the text blocks to end.
Meaningful Name: One ^note that carries a lot of weight with it. It's not even his real name, which nobody knows, not even him - his real parents made no mention of it when they abandoned him, and the name he was given by his foster family was chosen simply to sound as pleasant as possible. Not that anyone's complaining.
Nice Guy: One of the nicest around.
Odd Friendship: Develops one with Tohru. She insists they're not friends - he begs to disagree.
Official Couple: With Tsukasa. Apparently, everyone saw it coming.
Perpetual Smiler
- Stepford Smiler: Type A in spades. His impending death as a result of his terminal illness had led to him becoming a Death Seeker, and only after he's able to find happiness within the Mutual Killing Game that he finally found a reason to keep living. Demonstrated in his interactions when facing tragedy after tragedy: he wills himself to keep smiling because he's afraid that if he stops, he will never be able to regain it.
The Pollyanna: A male variant. When the going gets tough, the tough get going!
Rousseau Was Right: A firm believer in this, as expressed in his thread with Tohru. It's heavily implied that this mentality arose as a result of his heavily troubled upbringing, and that he simply hopes that no one could ever be as bad as the people who kept him as a prisoner all those years ago.
- "Those people who hurt other people...sometimes it’s because other people hurt them first. I don’t believe anyone is intrinsically bad from the day they were born. Simply that they made a bad choice or bad choices along the way. Like you did."
Secretly Dying: Revealed to be afflicted with acute lymphoblastic leukemia in Chapter 5. It was the Dark Secret revealed in Chapter 2 that he has been trying to hide for the entire game.
- Worth Living For: His wish in Chapter 3 is for a cure to his terminal illness, now that he has people he still wants to continue to live for.
Sweet Tooth: Peanut butter with ice cream? Really?
Trademark Favorite Food: Pancakes!

Ulrich Ohlhauser

SHSL Knife Thrower

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/ulrich_00.png

"I've already done it perfectly once! I was the top of my class back home..."

Ulrich Ohlhauser is a foreigner originating from Germany, having moved away from his quiet home about 5 years ago. He is the SHSL Knife Thrower, an expert knife thrower and bladed weapons expert, using his expertise and finesse to entertain and wow audiences all over the country. He has had buildings sold out before for his performances of exciting heart pounding bladework! Not much is known about him besides the fact that he is half German, half Japanese, to a family of his two parents and himself, living in a high rise luxury apartment in Tokyo, Japan. Ulrich is most notable for his eccentric personality, showing up on tv screens around the country, glaring at the camera, moving with quick precision and heated passion during his performances, and threatening paparazzi with a devilish grin and one question: “Do you want to die today?”

Clear My Name: Is framed for the chapter 3 trial, and has to fight along with a few others to make sure he isn't wrongfully voted.
Even Bad Men Love Their Papas
Frame-Up: Despite getting pretty angry and violent during the trial, his gloves being found was a frame job done by his roommate and actual culprit.
Good Is Not Soft: In the end, he's a good boy. He doesn't want anyone to die, or even be hurt, but being good doesn't mean you're soft!

Ryuunosuke Sakakibara

SHSL Acrobat

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/ryuu_0.png

"Cool, sounds fake."

Ryuunosuke Sakakibara, self pronounced ‘world’s greatest acrobat’, seems to dance through the sky with every performance. Emerging into the national and eventually world-wide scene at 10, he’s been charming and winning over crowds with his spectacular displays agility and flexibility. Never have you ever seen someone so effortlessly look like they’re soaring through the sky. With the energetic personality to go along with the high energy job, you just might hear this kid before you see him.

Chapter 4 Victim.

Allergic to Routine: He's easily bored and always looking for something else to do. Once he finds something else, he gets bored with that, too!
Big Brother Instinct: He seems to have this for Nami, even though they're older than him. Develops it rather strongly for Ulrich as well.
Brutal Honesty: Invokes this with Isabella during the chapter 3 trial, to drag the culprit, Isamu, for wanting to sacrifice someone innocent.
Cloud Cuckoolander: Seems to have his head very firmly in the clouds.
Deceased Parents Are the Best: Lost his father at some point, but hasn't told anyone when, or how, or what happened.
Determinator
Dies Wide Open
Group Hug: Used to do these fairly often with Neo and Gyuhui, until they have a falling out, leading to Neo moving out.
Good Is Not Soft
Everyone Hates Math: And, if you're Ryuu, English, science, literature... He pretends not to mind for Sayuri's benefit when she's excited to see the school area.
The Idealist: Multiple times he has said that he believes no one will kill because they're all nice people, more or less!
- And has been consistently incorrect, along with beginning to lose trust in people he initially did believe in.
Motor Mouth: Please stop talking.
The Nicknamer: Everyone gets a nickname, until he decides that he likes them enough - then he'll switch to just their first name. Alternatively, if he hates someone enough, he'll revert to Surname.
Obfuscating Stupidity: Seems like it may be true during the chapter 2 trial, becomes blatantly true during chapter 3 when he completely drops the casual slang and goes for the metaphorical kill. He picks it back up after.
Perpetual Smiler: Pulls this off almost all the time, making the rare times he doesn't smile chilling. Tohru calls him out on it, but that seems to only make him do it even more.
Real Men Hate Sugar: He just doesn't like sweet things.
Red Eyes, Take Warning: Averted. Is he even capable of negative thought.
- He is. He really, really is.
Salt-Forged Friends: With Isabella, after the chapter 3 trial. They are the main two who openly berate the culprit for what they've done, and it raises their opinions of each other.
Stepford Smiler: A good mix of types A and B.
Team Mom: To everyone! He just wants everyone to get along somewhat so they can all escape.
- Still extends this to Tohru, after Isabella breaks her wrist for attempting to murder Ulrich.
You Keep Telling Yourself That: Largely to Isamu and Tohru, who believed that murder is the only way they can escape.

Female Students

Tsukasa Tamotsu

SHSL Paparazza

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/tsukasa_9.png

"It's fine! I'm not...trying to be selfish or anything. It just hurts a little right now, with all of this, but it'll go away."

The public was shocked to discover that a 16 year old high school student was responsible for the stress and terror of several celebrities across Japan. Now that her identity is known (making stalking celebrities for photos in secret a lot more difficult) Tsukasa Tamotsu has made a name for herself as a social media presence with nearly a million followers! Most follow her for her fashion posts and criticisms, though it seems she still posts some juicy gossip from time to time, even now.

Anime Hair: It's blue!
Be Careful What You Wish For: For the third motive, she wished to rise to the top. Control granted this by funding a documentary detailing how she sold out her own sister to gain fame of her own.
Break the Cutie: The more trials they go through, the more this seems to happen.
Cute Clumsy Girl: She could have given Gyuhui a concussion!
Kawaiiko
Manic Pixie Dream Girl: Downplayed, but she definitely nails the cheerful disposition and has a few quirks.
Nice Girl: While her past is slightly shady, she nevertheless is this for the majority of the roleplay.
The Nicknamer: Ueue-kyun! Akihabara-kyun! Ada-chama!
Nightmare Face: As Neo saw.◊
Official Couple: With Neo. Apparently, everyone saw it coming.
Perpetual Smiler: Has this most of the time, unless they're in the trials.
Princess Phase: Has gushed over the fact that Saeru is like a modern day princess. She also seemed pretty happy about getting to play the princess in the cold towel saga.
Stepford Smiler: Type A
Tareme Eyes
Third-Person Person: Tsukasa-chama!
Verbal Tic: Speaking in third person, attaching -kyun or -chama to everyone, along with rather cutesy nicknames. She also says things like "ano" and "thank-q!" quite often.

Shu Yu Wei

SHSL Acupuncturist

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/shu_2.png

"Vroom goes the airplane!"

SHU YU WEI [ 淑于伟 ] (born on september 19th, xxxx) is a nineteen years old Taiwanese acupuncturist specialist who is widely known in the medical community for her exceptional skill as one of the youngest TCM doctor known in this field.

₊ˈ˚·Aiko☆Starlight·˚ˈ₊

SHSL Magical Girl

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/aiko_2.png

"The warriors had one simple response...For justice!!! For the people who cannot defend themselves and are in need of a hero!!!"

The mystic and magical ₊*ˈ˚·Aiko☆Starlight·˚ˈ*₊ has been a popular figure in today's media. Along with her team of Starshine defenders, she's been defeating evil and protecting Earth one battle at a- Wait a second! Isn't that just a character from an anime?

Well, despite the fictional character's popularity, it's actually about the actress who plays Aiko herself who's been a rising star as of late! While the actress herself wishes to remain anonymous, she has fully embraced her role as the legendary ₊*ˈ˚·Aiko☆Starlight·˚ˈ*₊ ! Ever since the mahou shoujou anime 'Magical Defender Aiko-chan' made its big debut young girls everywhere have been looking up to the young Magical Girl herself. Being an extremely popular show it got many anime seasons, a couple movies, and more recently a live adaptation of the show! The actress of Aiko herself has even played a big role in helping raise funds and bring awareness for children's hospitals and even collaborating with the Make a Wish Foundation, all in character of course. It’s without a doubt that Aiko is certainly making a name for herself. Along with her recent acceptance into Hope's Peak Academy, she’s sure to continue on her rise to fame and success!

Chapter 2 culprit, and executed.

Action Girl
Anime Hair: Bright pink! It's a wig.
Badass Adorable: She fights evil! She's super duper cute!
Beware the Nice Ones: Aiko is friendly and seems to get along with everyone. She ends up murdering Shigemi and reveals to be nothing like her magical girl persona.
Cat Girl: She has the ears and the tail!
Chuunibyou: Everyone seems to suspect that she's one of those, since she stays in character the entire time. No, she really is from outer space!
Creepy Shadowed Undereyes: When she wipes off her make up at the behest of the others, revealing she is quite, quite tired.
Cruel and Unusual Death: Her execution has Noriko fighting a witch-esque monster, that eventually drags her into murky water, only far enough down that she can easily see the surface but cannot escape.
Last Words: "…Just tell her Nori says she’s gonna miss her."
Magical Girl Warrior
Master Actor: She's so dedicated to her role as Aiko that most of the characters believe that she sincerely thinks she is a magical cat girl. None of them even know her real name! Turns out she's just amazing at acting, and her real name is Noriko Hanada, a girl who is the polar opposite of Aiko Starlight.
- "If I had to stay one more day acting like some… fucking stupid cat girl 'waifu’ bullshit I was about to explode."
Perpetual Smiler: She was that, until chapter 2. She cries to Ryuu over someone being dead, but it turns out she's the one who did it.
The Pollyanna: Very cheerful and bright.
Third-Person Person

Isabella Flores

SHSL Guitarist

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/isabella_7.png

"I’m not gambling with innocent fucking lives over a freedom. No matter what the chances."

Also known as “Luna” by her giant fanbase, Isabella Flores is both the lead singer and the guitarist for a world wide famous metal band named Death Head Moths. Some say that the most appealing (or unappealing, depending to one's taste) has to do with her, cool, always in charge nature.

The band seemed to have come out of nowhere, but instantly became a hit after signing with a huge record label in Japan. Though the band isn’t connected with the poet Hiroma Ayane, the two have a lot of overlapping fans.

Brutal Honesty: And how!
First-Name Basis: Calls everyone by their given names.
Good Is Not Soft: Is a good person at her core, and cares a lot for some of the others, but she won't just let people walk over her. Not at all. Murderers get the brunt of this.
Hypocrite: Very caring and protective to Ulrich and Tsukasa, making sure they are safe at all times. Does not have the same self care for herself.
Mama Bear: Towards Ulrich, for sure.
"The Reason You Suck" Speech: Gives one of these to Isamu during the entire trial, but especially after the confession.
Red and Black and Evil All Over: Inverted. Black and red are the prominent colours of her clothes, but she's nowhere near evil. Fiery, but not evil.
Salt-Forged Friends: With Ryuu, after the chapter 3 trial. They are two of the only people to openly roast the culprit, for killing at all and then even more so after hearing their motivations.

Tohru Ishizuki

SHSL Tailor

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/tohru_2.png

"Agent of love, defender of the weak!"

Legend has it that this tailor once threw together a bride’s dream wedding dress in only an hour. All of her works are made by hand, and she’s expressed no interest in signing up for a brand for mass production. Because of that, her commission prices are through the roof. Although originally her patrons were mainly cosplayers, it seems her work has been sought after by even corporate elites for their style and quality.

Another Chapter 2 Killer, but wasn't executed.

Career-Ending Injury: Has had her wrist broken, and without the proper medical care in the facility...
- And with the way she acted during the chapter 3 trial, it wouldn't be too shocking if she got the other one broken, too.
Coin-on-a-String Trick: Attempts this every time she tries the Gacha machine.
Dark and Troubled Past
Freudian Excuse
Friendship Denial: Throws one of these at Shiori - "you're a good kid, but we were never friends."
- Throws another of these at Neo - "...We're not friends, though. Just for now, we're something resembling 'allied'."
Friendship Trinket: Her choker.
Health Care Motivation
Heel Realization: Despite being adamant since the Chapter 2 trial that she isn't a good person, it doesn't hit at full force until the nightmares in Chapter 4 force her to reexamine herself.
Magical Girl
The Runaway: Of the abused kind.
Unlimited Wardrobe: Downplayed, as she's been sacrificing a few layers to make clothes for the others, and completely phased out after her wrist is broken.
With Us or Against Us
Yandere: Like the pair of blades on sewing scissors, cut anything that comes between them.

Yuuna Kusayanagi

SHSL Forensic Pathologist

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/yuuna_6.png

"You don't understand. I just want to cut people open."

Yuuna Kusayanagi isn't known for much, aside from her hand in helping solve the murder of the prominent business mogul Katsuhira Agata. Nevertheless, over twenty cases have been attributed to the young woman over her short career and she doesn't seem ready to stop anytime soon.

Addled Addict: Though it might not be a conventional drug that she's addicted to, that doesn't make the withdraw any better.
Ambiguous Disorder: Even it if isn't quite clear what causes her to act how she does, it would be fair to assume.
Black Comedy: Not the typical sense of humor. Most of her jokes revolve around dead bodies.
- "Corpses are just terrible at conversation."
Covered in Scars: Her hands and thigh are covered in them from playing with scalpels so often. Though, the scar on her left hand is from an entirely different source. Fire, to be specific.
Creepy Mortician: The personification of this trope, she embraces her reputation.
Dancin' in the Ruins: Despite the fact that they've been trapped in a Killing Game, she seems to have no problems whatsoever with the situation. In fact, she might be the most excited about it.
- Or, she had been. Then she wasn't allowed to touch the bodies.
Feel No Pain: Her pain tolerance is too high to feel most wounds, which she sees no problem in taking advantage of.
Lack of Empathy: Her terrible social skills can be partially attributed to this.
Mad Doctor: Subverted, given that she isn't an actual doctor.
- "I've come to assume that thinking I'm a doctor helps people feel better! To them, my being doctor means that I've been trained."
Perpetual Smiler: It would almost be scarier to see her without a smile.
Sanity Slippage: From the discovery of Shigemi's corpse and onwards it looks as if Yuuna's mental state has started to fall apart, with an added dose of Laughing Mad after Noriko's execution. It doesn't seem as if it'll get better anytime soon.
The Shut-In: She's become one of these, in the lower lab level of the building to be specific. It helps to keep her far enough from the others to keep her temper in check, and because of this even the brief occasional visit annoys her.
- The labs also act as a reminder of her home and parents, which is one of the reasons she was so enraged when Isamu murdered Yuuya there, then didn't even bother to clean up afterwards.
The Unfettered: She's of the goal-devoted variety.
White Shirt of Death: Her signature labcoat is covered in bloodstains — it just begs the question as to whose blood it is.

Yuni Hoshiya

SHSL Flavor Chemist

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/yuni.png

"You make sure you take care of yourself too, okay? I mean it!"

A young girl who attracted waves of customers to her grandparents’ restaurant with the strange-yet-addicting taste combinations she created - including the director of a cutting-edge flavor company, which offered her an apprenticeship in spite of her age. She’s notable for producing snacks flavored after unique delicacies from around the world, such as escargot chips; even the creations that don’t catch on with the masses are often highly sought-after due to their niche value.

Hotaru Azamaku

SHSL Illusionist

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/hotaru.png

quote pending

Regarded perhaps most famously for her stellar Dance of a Thousand Fireflies, Hotaru Azamaku is an often discussed name on the scene of magic acts. Rivaling the promise of Cyril Takayama or even David Copperfield at such a young age, Hotaru’s promise is limitless— going beyond the usual sleight of hand and parlor tricks and branching into a whole new brand of illusionism. Though no one knows how she does it, she's done tricks where she's turned her hand into a flock of butterflies and back again, illusions where she could make her whole being appear monochrome, and, most well known, summoning a thousand Fireflies with only the snap of her fingers and the motions of her feet. If you're interested in a show that makes you question the limitations of reality, the Violet Firefly’s performance is one of the best you can watch.

Not only a pioneer in the field of illusionism, Hotaru above all seeks to bring some joy into the lives of her audiences. Many of her tricks and illusions focus on introducing the brighter side of life into the world. Hotaru very firmly believes that magic and illusionism are meant to bring about hope that the world isn't just a sequence of fixed occurrences— that there can be a little spark of mystique to everything. Because of this, she will hold annual performances with half priced viewings so that more people have a shot at seeing through her eyes. She always asks one thing of her audience- remember that there is a silver lining to every storm cloud, that there is always light in the night no matter how dim, and that there is always hope no matter how elusive it seems.

Affectionate Nickname: A vigorous assigner of these— usually taking a section of someone’s name and adding -tan to the end of it.

The Idealist: To a vast extent— her whole motivation for becoming an illusionist was to inspire hope in her audiences by showcasing the more magical aspects of life.
The Pollyanna: Notorious for being obsessively cheerful and sugary sweet.
Worth Living For: Truly believes that every life has value, and that everyone can find their reason to live somewhere.

Natacha Dechant

SHSL Animator

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/natacha.png

"If there’s an option to go through shit without killing someone again, I’ll take it."

Hand drawn? Papercut? Sand? Marionnettes? No animating technique is unknown to Natacha Dechant!

A young girl from Canada, she had interest in animation early in her life and was ready to tell any story she wanted through a good visual tool. Starting with small steps, it seems that the girl learned at a great pace the basis of animation, then started conceiving stories by herself mostly while usually using the hand drawn techniques but sometimes experimenting with other animation techniques at times. As more of her projects went online, it has gathered a following, who acclaimed the young girl for creative ways of telling the story without needing almost any voice. The name of the girl was then truly known to the general public when she was invited to an animation festival in Annecy, France, as it was quite a big event.

There, she was noticed in person and was invited to study at an animation school in Japan after the girl confirmed her identity, which surprised her. Still, Natacha sought to learn more in a different environment and willingly studied in another country, when one more surprise awaited her: the widely recognized Hope’s Peak Academy sent her a letter inviting her to their school after hearing more about the girl who had made quite some news. Even with one surprise after another, it didn’t matter to the girl, who was willing to learn more in new environments and was motivated to pursue her dream!

But Not Too Foreign: Quebec born, and learnt Japanese before coming over to Hope's Peak.
Cynicism Catalyst: After the chapter 3 trial, the fact that Isamu and Moriarty had gambled with all of their lives did it for her.

Friendless Background: Before coming to Hope's Peak, she was not exactly wealthy in the friend department.
Shut Up, Hannibal!: Her inner thoughts when Isamu talks.
Team Mom: Has to continue to tell Ryuu not to do obviously dangerous things. It's a full time job.

Sayuri Sato

SHSL Gothic Metal Singer

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/sayuri_4.png

quote pending

The “daughter” of the famous roboticist Kotaro Sato, Sayuri was in the spotlight from the moment she came into existence. She was the subject of many studies, but otherwise lived a normal life. While many expected her to follow her parents’ footsteps in the sciences, Sayuri surprised the public by pursuing music instead. Still, Kotaro and his wife Noriko both happily supported their daughter as she founded a band and began to break ground in the music industry. Eventually being picked up by a record company after winning several band competitions, Sayuri became notable in the metal scene with a voice organic humans could never hope to match.

Chapter 2 victim.

Dies Wide Open: Makes sense, since she was shoved down the stairs.

The Paragon: A kind, trusting robot who believes in everyone. Even when her number was called, she dismissed the majority of the concern.
