13	->''Edwin Black is a name frequently spoken in many international news networks, primarily as a young prodigy. Known for his development of Wwpine, a drug used to minimize the fatality rates of basic neurosurgery by 50%, Edwin is by all accounts a genius. Hailing from the obscure island country Wrwwwlwd, his heritage is often a bit of a talking point when it comes to ‘telling his story’. That being said, Edwin himself seems far from being a public figure himself, broodily refusing interviews and public footage of himself as often as he can. Well, you know what they say about geniuses and their eccentricities, you know.''

After a video he uploaded online reached millions of views, the young teen became a small celebrity as he continued to post bigger and better stunts. Despite past injuries, the nimble 16 year old continued to inspire awe as he mimicked dolphins and flew yards into the sky.

142	* DeadpanSnarker: Despite her dreamy and detached demeanour, often slips into this.
143	-->Kyoki: "What a polite murderer. Rarely do killers have the grace to point out to the general public that the people they have murdered are, in fact, dead, in case the fact has been passed over in the kerfuffle."

Coming from a rural village in Russia, she studied abroad in Germany, and now in Japan, to pursue her talent with the little machines. Her progress from how little she started with, and how much she achieved until now shows she’s very hardworking and determined for her age, although people that have met her can often say she’s stubborn and cold.

180	* AtLeastIAdmitIt: About her violence.
181	-->Svetlana: "I'm aware my concept of what's really violence and what others find violence is different. This is why I asked if I could force answers out of Nanashi on trial, and well. The soda is simple. She was sleeping and wouldn't wake up when I shook her. So.... [[NotQuiteTheRightThing Instead of slapping her, I thought dropping a liquid on her would be less drastic]]."
182	* BadassBookworm: Doesn't look like a bookworm so much as act like one, being both surprising and not so surprising when she leaps in action.
183	* BerserkButton: Don't touch her. [[NoHoldsBarredBeatdown Just don't]].
184	* BluntYes: Though it happens more often with 'no' rather than 'yes'.

187	Svetlana: "No, you simply seem like a coward."
188	* DeadpanSnarker
189	* DeathGlare: Doesn't happen often, but when it does, it definitely feels like a Death glare rather than just a glare.

191	* DisproportionateRetribution: Thinks that punching as a response for being touched is appropriate, among other things.
192	* EveryoneCanSeeIt: Takeo and Lana. O'Malley, Levi, Ayako, Marina, and surely others have called on them liking each other... except for themselves.

198	* InsultBackfire: It's hard to manage to insult her on purpose.

206	* LittleNo: All of her "no"s towards general dangerous situations are like this.

209	* MrFixIt
210	* NervesOfSteel: If not touching her specific berserk buttons, she's like this with most commonly traumatizing situations, coldly analysing her classmates murders, punishments and executions.
211	* NoHoldsBarredBeatdown: Against the jewelry box she was given in Chapter 2. There wasn't anything you could call "remains of a box" by the time she stopped.
212	* NoSenseOfHumor: Happens to most humorous situations, but can also be subverted: her sense of humour is just [[ItAmusedMe Not normal]].
213	* NotSoStoic: Has her moments, though it's rare. Often, it's when she's angry.
214	* OffhandBackhand: On reflex upon [[BerserkButton being touched]].

216	* PercussiveMaintenance: Does that with malfunctioning machines ever so often, but has tried on [[GetAHoldOfYourselfMan people]] as well. Without good results in the latter case.
217	* RussianGuySuffersMost: Inverted. Has no deep spoilers and psychological trauma in her past, if you put her in comparison to many of the cast.

226	* TwiceShy: Takeo and Lana took up to the end of chapter 3 to acknowledge something, and to chapter 4 to actually get together.
227	* UnstoppableRage: Happens occasionally, if you piss her enough, or [[BerserkButton touch her]].
228	* ViolentlyProtectiveGirlfriend: As of chapter 4, Takeo finally asks her out, making the girlfriend title accurate. She has been violently protective of him back to chapter 2.

250	!!!Super High School Level Barista [[spoiler: actually Cyberwarfare Specialist]]
251	->''Googling “Hifumi Ayako” gives you nothing but a headache. You don’t know why half these pages are popping up when they don’t seem to be at all related to the name of your new classmate. Some things about an anime, video games, giant robots... Uh, isn’t this guy supposed to be a barista? All the public records you find of him seem legit, but... why is his family name written with the kanji for numbers? Does February 30th even exist to be born on? Using image search winds up linking you to a blog, bytethebarista, that has a few odd, rambling posts on it (all about various anime) that all seem to have been made within the past year. Random coffee and tea recipes are strewn all over this blog.''

282	* MoralityChain: Lana and Yukiko are these to him. [[spoiler: Until the latter's death, anyway. Though thanks to the ouija board, she sure keeps trying.]]
283	* MoralityPet: His boyfriend, Kamiya, functions as one of these. After [[spoiler:Yukiko's death]], Kyoki becomes one as well [[spoiler:thanks to Yukiko's will having mentioned she wanted Kyoki to live]], winding up with Ayako suddenly caring deeply about her beyond the friendship they'd already established. It helps both of them remind him of his old friends back home.
284	* MotherRussiaMakesYouStrong
285	* NonchalantDodge: A lot of his fighting style is based around being a "dodgy motherfucker". When fighting seriously, expends as little energy as possible in any given movement.
286	* OnlineAlias: bytethebarista and [[spoiler:bitchibyteme]]
287	* ThePowerOfFriendship: Something he genuinely believes in and tries to reinforce whenever possible.
288	* RefugeInAudacity
289	* RoaringRampageOfRevenge: [[spoiler:After Yukiko's death, he brought Kyoki and Mal along on one of these.]]
290	* RoyalsWhoActuallyDoSomething
291	* SarcasticConfession: As Kyoki put it, "By far the worst part of what you just said is that I am utterly incapable of telling whether or not you are being facetious or merely presenting the truth in a manner I am unlikely to believe."
292	* ScaryShinyGlasses: Happens whenever he activates [[EmotionBomb [Why So Serious?].]]
293	* ScaryTeeth: Though he keeps them covered with specially made caps at all times so most people don't know this.
294	* SinisterSurveillance
295	* SociopathicHero: Though 'hero' is up for debate.
296	* SpannerInTheWorks
297	* StepfordSmiler: Type II.
298	* SuperSoldier
299	* TokenEvilTeammate: Yeah, he's actually [[ChaoticEvil Chaotic Evil]] and proud.
300	* TooFunnyToBeEvil
301	* TooKinkyToTorture
302	* TrainingFromHell: Among other things, he's been brainwashed and nearly fed to a pack of wolves.
303	* TykeBomb: He was learning to fight from about the time he learned to walk and has been [[spoiler: utterly brainwashed into loyalty to his crown princess and country to the point where he literally cannot conceive of the notion of going against them]]. It only got worse from there.
304	* WarriorPrince
305	* WeirdnessCoupon
306	* WholesomeCrossdresser: Even when he's one gender, he may present as another just because he likes the clothes.

309	!!Harper O'Malley [[spoiler:Piper Hargrave]]
310	!!!Super High School Level Criminal Profiler / [[spoiler:The Streetlight Killer]]
311	->''Harper O'Malley is well-known in certain social circles for being the youngest person ever to gain the rank of Supervisory Special Agent in the FBI, passing the difficult FBI training to achieve their rank. SSA O'Malley was a member of the Federal Bereau of Investigation’s Behavioral Analysis Unit-3. They analyze crimes using their understanding of the criminal mind to create a ‘profile’, which they then deliver to local police. Their specialty is serial and spree killers. The one-eyed prodigy is an enigma - searching back before their FBI debut reveals nothing. No birth records, criminal records, social media profiles, or family. As far as any sort of record appears to know, Harper O'Malley didn’t exist before then.''
312
313	[[spoiler:Executed for the murder of Kyoki Fujimori in chapter three, they were also the mastermind before being fired.]]
314
315	* AloneWithThePsycho: Many times, if Mal is to be believed. Especially notable is their encounter with the Kitchen Knife Killer. [[spoiler:And with Edwin, as he was originally planning to kill them.]]
316	* ApologizesALot: And will apologize when it's pointed out.
317	-->Edwin: You...don’t need to apologize for apologizing.\
318	Mal: But you don’t like it when I apologize, so the logical next step is to be sorry for being sorry...
319	* TheAtoner: [[spoiler:One of their reasons for being so devoted to justice is trying to atone for their supposed sociopathic tendencies.]]
320	* BadassBookworm: A talented behavioral analyst and avid novel reader as well as capable of killing adult psychopaths with small knives.
321	* BeneathTheMask: Mal is not nearly as stoic or composed as they pretend to be.
322	* ButNotTooForeign: Despite their clearly non-Japanese name, Mal is actually half Japanese.
323	* CloseRangeCombatant: Despite being trained to use guns, their weapon of choice remains a tiny switchblade.
324	* CrazyJealousGuy: Gets into a fight with Marina, partially motivated by fear of her stealing [[spoiler:Edwin]].
325	* DarkAndTroubledPast: While their past is entirely shrouded in mystery, it's clear from the way they act that it wasn't exactly pleasant. At the very least they were constantly kidnapped and threatened by criminals. [[spoiler:They discovered their mother’s body, fought their serial killer father in close combat, were raised by their adoptive father to be an emotionless justice-delivering machine and after his death resorted to desperate attempts at reviving the dead and later vigilantism.]]
326	* DeadpanSnarker: Occasionally.
327	-->“Sir, are you attempting to intimidate me with a banana?”
328	* DeclarationOfProtection: To [[spoiler:Edwin, not that it does any good]].
329	* DefectiveDetective: So devoted to their job that they cease to care about their own safety in the slightest.
330	* DespairEventHorizon: Crosses it after [[spoiler:Edwin dies]], to the point of having no objections to [[spoiler:Ayako slitting their throat and bashing their head into a wall until they passed out]].
331	* EnhancedInterrogationTechniques: They have no problem waving around knives, and only stop once it’s clear this method is actually woefully ineffective.
332	* ExpositoryHairstyleChange: They let their bangs cover the left side of their face entirely after [[spoiler: Edwin dies, to hide their now exposed eye socket]].
333	* EyepatchOfPower: Worn over their left eye.
334	* FallenHero: [[spoiler:Went from being a successful FBI agent to a serial killer.]]
335	* {{Fanboy}}: To Kyoki.
336	-->"The pleasure is all mine, Fujimori-san. Um, I was wondering..." they reach into the magical FBI hammerspace that is their pocket and pull out a book. "Could I... have your autograph?"
337	* FBIAgent: [[spoiler:Or rather, former FBI agent.]]
338	* FirstNameBasis: With Edwin and later Levi.
339	* FriendlessBackground: Their job doesn’t allow for much social interaction, after all. Edwin was the first person in their entire life to call them a friend (or at least, so they claim). [[spoiler:As they told Lana, this is because of the fact that they were always paranoid and convinced that people were lying to them about liking them, and thus pushed them away.]]
340	* GoodIsNotNice: Mal can be a downright jerk sometimes, and is generally cold and abrasive.
341	* GuileHero: Just as skilled in [[BattleOfWits psychological warfare]] as they are in actual combat.
342	* GuiltComplex: [[spoiler:To the point of blaming themself for Edwin and Yukiko’s deaths due to not being able to reform him.]]
343	* {{Hammerspace}}: Their coat pockets aren’t even that big, yet they can store insane amounts of Rubik’s Cubes, case files, several knives and even a textbook.
344	* HadToBeSharp
345	* HeWhoFightsMonsters: Repeatedly invoked. [[spoiler:Turns out to be entirely true. They are a literal serial killer, after all.]]
346	-->Ayako: I imagine you not as a martyr but as the /night/. An executioner... those who hunt monsters...
347	* HerBoyfriendsJacket: Wore [[spoiler:Edwin’s [[CoatCape cape]] ]] for a fairly long time. [[spoiler:And continues to do so after his death.]]
348	* HeroicBSOD: They tend to be prone to this. [[spoiler: Edwin’s death really pushed them over the edge, too.]]
349	* HeroicSelfDeprecation: Taken way to the extreme - Mal practically has an inferiority complex.
350	* HidingTheHandicap: [[spoiler:After Edwin dies, they throw their eyepatch into the void, though thankfully their hair covers their empty eye socket.]]
351	* HoldingHands: With Edwin, a ton.
352	* IdiosyncraticEpisodeNaming: Their threads are all named after Criminal Minds episodes.
353	* ImprobableAge: Sure, they’re in a class of prodigies, but FBI at thirteen seems a bit extreme. Supposedly many people suspect that they didn’t react their rank entirely fairly. [[spoiler:And they were RIGHT - their superior officer and adoptive father was likely at least partially responsible.]]
354	* TheInsomniac: Literally didn’t sleep for their first week at the lodge. [[spoiler:This is mostly due to them having horrible nightmares. After Edwin’s death they can barely close their eyes without seeing his face.]]
355	* JadeColoredGlasses
356	* KnightInSourArmor
357	* LastKiss: [[spoiler:The last thing Edwin does before being taken to his execution? Kiss Mal.]]
358	* LastNameBasis: Not only do they not call many people by first name, they themself refuse to be called by their given name under any circumstances except by Edwin.
359	* LivingLieDetector: One of their skills. [[spoiler:Though it never worked on Edwin.]]
360	* TheLostLenore: [[spoiler:Edwin has started to become this for them.]]
361	* LoveMakesYouDumb: [[spoiler: Attacked a trained supersoldier to avenge Edwin.]]
362	* LoveRedeems: Attempted to redeem Edwin this way. [[spoiler:Failed miserably.]]
363	* MadnessMantra: “I’msorryi’msorryi’msorryi’msorryi’msorry”
364	* MajorInjuryUnderreaction: Gets beat up by a supersoldier and essentially tells Edwin not to worry about it. This is mostly because they've certainly had worse injuries in their life. [[spoiler:After Edwin’s death they are so out of it they literally don’t react to getting their throat slashed.]]
365	* MarriedToTheJob: They’ve literally never had a friend, can’t think of anything they enjoy outside their job, and even neglect to sleep.
366	* MustHaveCaffeine: Even goes into visible withdrawal when the first motive hits.
367	* NervesOfSteel: After the things that Mal has seen they are a very hard person to unnerve.
368	* NightmareFetishist: REALLY likes Kyoki’s horror novels. The criminal mind also seems to fascinate them, to the point where they claim half the reason they became a profiler was morbid curiosity. [[spoiler: Also, literally made out with a corpse, though it was more out of grief than anything.]]
369	* NoSocialSkills: They only ever interacted with other FBI agents, after all. For all their psychoanalysis Mal can’t talk to a person to save their life.
370	* NonchalantDodge: Their reflexes border on superhuman, after all, giving them the ability to pull this off - both in fights, where dodging seems to be their primary strategy, and when dodging a thrown Rubik’s Cube from Edwin.
371	* NotSoStoi}: However, certain social situations can quickly make them lose their composure entirely.
372	* ObliviousToLove: It took Ayako pointing it out for them to realize that [[spoiler:Edwin]] had been flirting with them at all.
373	* OddFriendship: With Levi.
374	* OfficialCouple: [[spoiler:With Edwin.]]
375	* {{Omniglot}}: Speaks English, Japanese, Russian, Arabic, Latin, French and Spanish. [[spoiler:Later also learns a decent amount of Wrwwwlwdian.]]
376	* PayEvilUntoEvil: Their methods of dealing with criminals are said to be particularly brutal, and they had an unusually high body count for an FBI agent. [[spoiler:As the Streetlight Killer they would literally dismember other murderers.]]
377	* PhotographicMemory: Good enough to perfectly recite a long sentence in a new and confusing language while flustered, apparently.
378	* PleaseWakeUp: [[spoiler:Begged Edwin to do so as they embraced his corpse.]]
379	* TheProfiler: Their SHSL Talent
380	* ThePromise: Swore to Edwin that they would save him. [[spoiler: In the end they failed quite miserably.]]
381	* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: Delivers one to Cora:
382	-->Mal: You're annoyed. I am getting on your nerves, aren't I? Asking the wrong questions... or perhaps the right ones. Did I strike a nerve there? Have your friends NOT told you all these things? Do you even have friends, Ms. Voclain? Or are you so horrifically intolerable that the only people who enjoy your company are your parents and whoever you pay to tolerate you?
383	* SanitySlippage: Seems to be experiencing it right now.
384	* SerialKiller: [[spoiler:They are also known as the Streetlight Killer, a vigilante serial killer who hunts down and dismembers criminals with switchblades, leaving proof of their crimes and their carefully removed right hands underneath streetlights.]]
385	* ShoutOut: Their thread names are [[IdiosyncraticEpisodeNaming Criminal Minds episode titles]]
386	** Their first skill, [Criminal Intent], is a shout-out to Law and Order: Criminal Intent.
387	** Their pet snake is named Hotchner, after Criminal Minds’ Aaron Hotchner.
388	** They refer to Levi as the Mulder to their Scully.
389	* TheStoic: They initially seem like one, reacting to things coldly and analytically as one would expect from a detective.
390	* SugarAndIcePersonality: Acts cold and distant around most, but completely opened up to Edwin.
391	* SuperSpeedReading: Mal reads ludicrously fast, including reading and [[PhotographicMemory memorising]] a Wrwwwlwdian-to-Japanese dictionary in less than a day.
392	* SurvivorGuilt: Has a severe case, which only gets worse after [[spoiler:Kuki’s suicide]]. And even worse than that after [[spoiler:Edwin and Yukiko’s deaths, which they are convinced they could have prevented]].
393	* TakeMeInstead}}: After the first trial begs Monootter to punish them instead of [[spoiler:Marina and Nanashi]].
394	* TragicKeepsake: [[spoiler:Edwin’s coat cape and notebook.]]
395	* TryToFitThatOnABusinessCard: Supervisory Special Agent Harper O’Malley, Federal Bureau of Investigation, Behavioral Analysis Unit-3, Super High-School Level Criminal Profiler.
396	* VigilanteMan: [[spoiler:As the Streetlight Killer]]
397	* WalkingSpoiler: Most everything about them and their past is mysterious.

400	!!Kyou Geimu
401	!!!Super High School Level Game Designer
402	->''Besides a chair-gripping and nail-biting plot, the next thing that really grabs a player’s attention is the art. The graphics behind the RIP★sei games is all done singlehandedly by a single artist, Geimu Kyou, more widely known as RIP online. No matter what type of game, their ability to create stunning character designs and scenery just before the deadline is gasp-worthy. Cheesecape, Snapquest, and, of course, Crappy Bird are all excellent games in their own right but, graphics-wise, only show a fraction of their abilities in comparison to their arcane releases. And, deep in the forums, they’ve achieved a rather ominous following…''

406	!!Nanashi
407	!!!Super High School Level Utaite
408	->''A mysterious utaite going under the name “Nanashi” has recently topped the utattemita view charts on Nico Nico Douga, known for her ridiculously wide vocal range and excellent covers of a handful of VOCALOID songs. Soon after her huge successes online, the mysterious character was invited to Hope’s Peak Academy to join them as a Super High School Level Utaite. Even though she has yet to reveal her identity to the public, she’s at least accepted the invitation quite willingly!''
409
410	* BecomingTheMask: Everything about Nanashi’s personality revolves around her want to remain mysterious and anonymous.
411	* TheBerserker: It’s hard to find a time when Nanashi ''isn’t'' itching to fight everyone in the cast.
412	* BreakTheCutie: Nanashi broke down crying after the first trial and in front of Mal and Takeo on one occasion.
413	* CuteMute: [[spoiler:After Chapter 1's punishment, Nanashi loses their ability to speak.]]
414	* IdiotHair: Nanashi has an ahoge, which moves around with her emotions accordingly.
415	* PetitePride: Nanashi's the smallest of the bunch, at 5'1".
416	* TheReveal: During the Chapter 1 trial, Nanashi removed her mask [[spoiler:before getting punished]]. It's revealed that there's nothing underneath there for her to be hiding. So, why ''does'' she wear it?
417	* StrangeSyntaxSpeaker: It's difficult to decipher what Nanashi has to say, most times, often speaking in inverted sentences or repeating phrases with synonyms of words.
418	* TiredOfRunning: During the Chapter 1 investigation, Nanashi ran away from anyone who tried to interrogate her so they wouldn't figure out what she did.
419	* TheUnReveal: Nanashi has yet to reveal to the cast why she keeps her real identity a secret or wears a mask.
420	* UselessProtagonist: According to Ayako, at least.
421	* YellowEyesOfSneakiness: Their yellow eyes definitely add to the fact that she's super mysterious.
