- Sanity Slippage: Starts to experience this as the game goes on.

- The Cutie: A nice, innocent young girl that blushes with excitement when eating Novoselician pancakes.
- Funetik Aksent: Her Irish accent is present in the text.
- Hidden Depths: Can have a potentially dirty mind, as evidenced by her of all people coming up with a (semi-)dirty joke to tease Victoria with. She also previously attempted suicide.

- Scars Are Forever: Has a barely-visible scar on her wrist. She got it when she considered killing herself out of grief over her father's death.
Teresa Enchino
Ultimate Sphinx
A Greek/Egyptian woman who's become a sphinx. She doesn't seem to be bothered, in spite of the physical changes.
Murdered Kelley to escape, then got killed on her way to the exit.
- Asshole Victim: No one is sad to see her go after murdering Kelley, even refusing to refer to her by name after the fact.
- Buxom Beauty Standard: Played With. While she's happy with her large bust, the writer actually says they're so large as to be considered unattractive. She considers it an improvement over how flat-chested she was before.
- It's All About Me: Murdered someone and tried to escape so she could show of her new looks. Elle wasn't moved.
- Motive Rant: Gives one before she's killed.
- Statuesque Stunner: Her sandals just make her look taller.
A group of talentless students (and a falcon) who were experimented on (some against their will) to gain talents. Currently trapped in a haunted mansion.

- World of Technicolor Hair:
- Hikyou has snow white hair, Alpha has seaweed green hair with shades of teal on the ends, Nozomi's is dark blue (light blue prior to the experiments), Teleios's feathers are silver with the ends of his wings and tail being dark grey, Ariana has white streaks running through her hair, Chase's is grey and Rembrandt's is an icy blonde.
Hikyou Usotsuki
Ultimate Loser
A Japanese/British boy who wanted to better himself by getting an Ultimate talent. It didn't work in the slightest.
He's killed on the second night.
- Be Careful What You Wish For: He wanted to get an ultimate talent so he could stop being a loser. It backfires on him. Fatally.
- Blessed with Suck: His talent is literally being a loser. Whether that affected his status as the (more or less) first death is unknown.
- The Cynic: Doesn't have much faith in the other students not killing people, knowing how the other killing games went. Considering what happens to him later on, he had every reason to be paranoid.
- Decoy Protagonist: Looks like he'll be the main character, even having some opening narration. Then he dies second in chapter 4.
- Hiding Behind Your Bangs: Keeps his hair parted to cover his scarred left eye.
- Sex Signals Death: The next time we see him after a Fade to Black with Ariana, he's been stabbed to death in the forest.
- Scars Are Forever: Has several on his chest and stomach, as well as a particularly nasty one over his left eye.

- Befriending the Enemy: Is seemingly attempting to do so with the gravekeeper, Sabishī. Apparently, he sees a lot in common with her, including taking up a name of their own.
- Dark and Troubled Past: His parents sold him on the black market at a young age, and he was bought by a group of government toppling terrorists. He knew what they were doing was wrong, but acted as though he felt nothing on the matter. Then he blew up a church during a children's choir, and left the group shortly thereafter.
- Driven to Suicide: To avoid succumbing to a zombie bite.
- Humans Are the Real Monsters: Or that some are at least just as bad. Starts thinking a little along these lines after meeting Shiro.
- In-Series Nickname: More commonly referred to as "Remy", which he himself encourages.
- Meaningful Rename: Wasn't actually given a name, he named himself Rembrandt.
- Speaking Like Totally Teen: Despite typically speaking in a formal manner, he is fond of referring to others as "dude".
- Token Religious Teammate: Strongly implied to be of the Roman Catholic faith.
- Well-Intentioned Extremist: Posthumously tried to cause a mistrial in the hope's of getting at least half of the class out (banking on the idea that Syd wouldn't just kill the other half and end the game then).
- Zombie Infectee: The reason he chose to kill himself.
Samuel Botha
Ultimate Hunter
A white South African who has become a hunter. Can slip into his native tongue when stressed, and has clearly been through some testing experiences thanks to the Tragedy. Wanted to be an Ultimate Diplomat.
He survives and is rescued.
- Berserk Button: The Despairs, to a similar level as Munakata during Danganronpa 3. He's stated outright if not for the killing game in place, he would likely go on a killing spree against the staff (it's unclear if that includes the less antagonistic members of the staff as well, such as Sabishī and Sebastian), and burn down the mansion for good measure.
- Dark and Troubled Past: Mentioned he has seen Child Soldiers do some horrible things. To say nothing of living through the Tragedy.
- It's later established that his whole country was destroyed by Despair, with the Despair video affecting many of its citizens. Specifically, whites were brainwashed to attack blacks, who responded in kind. Samuel expressly calls it genocide.
- It's eventually revealed he himself is an ex-Despair.
- Defector from Decadence: Used to be a killer for Ultimate Despair.
- Everyone Has Standards: While he has been distrustful of the monster students, even he couldn't let Nozomi and Ariana going running off on their own to find Kitai after curfew.
- Expy: An unintentional one; of Munakata, as an imposingly built figure who prefers bladed weapons and has a Murder Is the Best Solution attitude towards Despair. Doesn't completely go over the deep end though.*
- Precision F-Strike: Delivers a very angered one upon finding Hikyou's dead body. And again when he laments having become a hunter stereotype instead of a diplomat.
- The Stoic: Has a very reserved personality and isn't easily shocked or flabbergasted. Except when his buttons are pressed.
- Well-Intentioned Extremist: Edges a bit towards this regarding the Despairs, but hasn't gone full out yet. Did get close to outright murdering Mackenzie in a rage at one point, though.
Alpha-Nibiru Nakamura
Ultimate Extraterrestrial
A nervous, formerly Japanese boy that has become an alien. And yet, he claims to be an actual alien. Came back to earth with Jibo after his time in space.
Had a sister named Omega.
Is killed as the second trial's blackened, having killed in self-defense.

- Transhumanism: Has become half-alien, losing his ethnicity (and memory of being human at all, apparently) in the process.
Jizoku Suru/Seishin Bondye
Ultimate Zombie
A tanned Japanese man who has apparently become a zombie. He seems okay with this, surprisingly.
Is finally, permanently, killed by Freddy Kruger in the dream realm. Only for Seishin to come back, then die saving the cast.
- Blood Knight: Refers to fighting the monsters in the woods as fun, and thinks of it as playing. Could be full on Ax-Crazy depending how far he would actually take his fun.
- Cloud Cuckoo Lander: He comes across as very loopy and odd, even without the Blood Knight tendencies and probably justified lack of common knowledge. He's been compared to Major Kong. Seishin is much calmer and more stable.
- Dark and Troubled Past: Was the Ultimate Voodoo Practitioner of Hope's Peak Class 54. After his powers started negatively affecting him (making him more zombie like and apparently giving him schizophrenia), he (fearing he'd harm his lover Sozo and their unborn child) turned to his classmate and friend, Jibo Momota, for help. Unfortunately, Jibo turned him into a lab rat in a (futile) attempt to save his fiancé Yukiko, eventually turning him into a zombie.
- Dreadlock Warrior: Goes along with his Blood Knight tendencies, especially when he faces off against Slenderman.
- Fish out of Temporal Water: Thinks it's several months after 'the spring of [19]92', so he's definitely been out of commission for awhile. Later confirmed he's been an experiment since the nineties.
- Heroic Suicide: Saves the group from a lethal curse by absorbing it into himself.
- Resurrective Immortality: When his head was twisted 180 degrees, while his heart was confirmed to have stopped he just fell down for a minute, then got back up and twisted it back into place. Apparently, he's where the cloning technology gets its Healing Factor from (thankfully without a delayed effect of turning people into zombies (hopefully). It takes being burned to ash by a magic curse to finally kill him off.
- Signature Laugh: Kekeke.
- Small Role, Big Impact: Small compared to the rest of the series, anyway, but it's eventually confirmed he's been an experiment for years now (with history with Syd and Jibo and a lack of knowledge concerning cellphones and the Tragedy), and as mentioned above, has ties to the cloning process Jibo Momota developed.
- Spanner in the Works: His interference saving Hikyou and Kiyomi from the Slenderman prevented Jana from getting to make use of the first night motive and foiled an otherwise brilliant plan.
- He also ends up foiling Alexander's posthumous attack by absorbing the curse from everyone else.
- The Tease: Hits on everyone and everything.
- Transhuman Treachery: Is completely fine with being a zombie, and seems a bit too okay with his current circumstances. Isn't actively evil, though. Stays loyal to the group to the end, as Jizoku and Seishin.
- Walking Shirtless Scene: Wears no shirt, just an open jacket.

Ultimate Sorcerer
A Greek man who has gained knowledge of the magical arts.
Is the culprit of the fifth case, and an insane serial killer known as Greek Fire.

- Casting a Shadow: Can create and shape darkness into tangible objects.
- The Dragon: To the true mastermind behind everything, Junko Enoshima.
- Elemental Powers: Only showed fire magic at first but is slowly showing off more.
- Kill It with Fire: He's burned to death in an Iron Bull. He just enjoyed the experience.

- Ship Tease: With Akeno, his vampiric queen. Also Jana, who he actually sleeps with first.
- Subverted when it turns out he didn't care about either of them. That said, Akeno was the only one he didn't curse at the end. Turns out, there was a reason for that.
- Taking You with Me: Nearly kills everyone left in the cast (except Akeno) with a fire curse after dying, but gets thwarted at the end.
- Walking Shirtless Scene: Well, he wears a shirt but he makes no attempt to button it. No one in the cast seems to mind so far.

- Not So Stoic: In comparison to her cousin, Kiyomi is more prone to open displays of emotion. Within the first chapter alone she is visibly shocked upon seeing Alpha* and needs a minute to process the talking bird. To say nothing of her final moments in the first trial.
- Ship Tease: With Samuel, Whom she apparently hooks up with following her revival.

Hana Sugimoto
Ultimate Spirit Channeler
A young Japanese girl who has supposedly gained the ability to channel spirits.
She survives and escapes the island.
- It Runs in the Family: Subverted as she claims the rest of her family can work with spirits naturally, unlike her.
Jana Almathali
Ultimate Djinn
An Egyptian girl who has become a djinn. She's okay with this.
The willing killer of Kitai in trial one. Currently enslaved in a lamp.

- Amazing Technicolor Population: Has blue skin, courtesy of the experiments.
- And I Must Scream: Her fate in the lamp.
- Asshole Victim: Was unrepentant about killing a seven year old, or trying to kill people on the first night.
- Fate Worse than Death: Gets turned in to a genie (which is different from a djinn, presumably the lamp) and trapped in a lamp for eternity. She even calls it as much. And this is before being teleported somewhere far away from the island and any humans.
- I Just Want to Be Free: Says as much in her execution. It seems to hint toward some similar issue in her past she hoped to escape from.
- Ironic Hell: She wanted to 'be free' when she went to the AUP. She's currently trapped in a lamp for eternity.
- It's All About Me: Was willing to kill to escape and use her powers in the post-Tragedy world. Not for the sake of others, however, but because she would be placed on a pedestal and revered for bringing them 'hope'.
- The Power of Creation: Jana was able to make a diamond form in the palm of her hand. However it tires her to do so. She was somehow aware of this power by the first night, and could conjure a Slenderman.

- Uncertain Doom: Was teleported somewhere after her use during the zombie attack.

Nozomi Nara
Ultimate Succubus
A formerly underweight Japanese girl living on the streets, this young lady has become a voluptuous creature with an eight-foot wingspan. She doesn't actually seem to like this much, presumably because of the horns, wings, and tail (the bit about being abducted and experimented on against her will probably doesn't help either).
Is related to Hayate and Shuhei (apparently by adoption).
Is decapitated by Jason Voorhees during the trip to the SCP base.
- Action Girl: Fights off the undead during the zombie attack, even forming a suit of armor around herself for protection.
- Forced Transformation: Zigzagged, She certainly didn't ask for her new form and she can't change back, though it doesn't match the usual methods or results of the trope.
- How Do I Shot Web?: Is trying to learn how to fly with Teleios' help.
- Odd Friendship: Seems to develop one with Teleios, who aids her in learning to use her wings.
- And one (apparently) with Ariana following the first trial. It grows from friendship.
Colleen Brennan
Ultimate Dullahan
A dark-skinned Irish girl who has been turned into a Dullahan. This leaves her head attached to her body only by a red scarf, to her clear dislike.
Is turned into a zombie during the outbreak and put down.
- And Then Colleen Was A Zombie: Dies and zombifies during the attack. She's quickly incinerated by Alexander.
- 13 Is Unlucky: She is listed as the 13th student, and has claimed that she is cursed.
- Doom Magnet: Implies that death follows her, and becoming a Dullahan has not helped this.
Ariana Von Schwarz
Ultimate Kitsune
A German-American woman who, at age twenty, is presumably the only humanoid adult (currently) in the game. Wanted to be an Ultimate Folklore Researcher, but has instead become a kitsune, down to the foxtails (not that she's complaining).
She survives and escapes the island.
- Gratuitous German: Releases this at times, usually when she swears.
- Parental Substitute: Acts like one to Kitai (though he calls her Auntie Ari). It doesn’t last long.
- Ship Tease: Hooks up with Hikyou early on. It also doesn’t last long.
- Seems to be getting feelings for Nozomi as well. They hook up.
- Someone To Remember Her By: Gets impregnated by Nozomi.
- The Storyteller: Ariana can remember a lot of folktales and legends. And telling bedtime fairytale stories to Kit reminds her of them.
Maya Amano
Ultimate Dragon Tamer
A Japanese girl who has gained the ability to tame dragons. She has an actual pet dragon named Henry.
She survives to escape the island.
- Dark and Troubled Past: Was raised by an abusive grandparent after her parents died. He thought of her as a 'useless cripple'.
- Official Couple: Gets together with Chase as the story goes on, even officially becoming his 'mate'.
- O.O.C. Is Serious Business: Becomes noticeably more aggressive when discovering that Jana's lamp could be used for healing, angrily demanding access to it before learning it's irreversibly disappeared.
- Plucky Girl: One of the most optimistic students in the group, at least for now.
Henry
Maya's pet Dragon. For most of the story is small enough to rest on her shoulders.
- Team Pet: Serves this role for the third game.
Teleios (Aka King Raptor of Destiny)
Ultimate Familiar
An Icelandic Gyrfalcon born and raised in Japan by Gundham Tanaka. Currently, at age ten (adult age in falcon years), he has somehow acquired a talent (alongside human-level intelligence) and ended up in a Killing Game.
He survives to escape the island, and even learns how to transform into a human at some point.
- Animal Companion: His job even before getting a talent.
- Bond Creature: Can share his eyesight and wing muscle memory with others, something Nozomi is quite appreciative of.
- Expy: Has clearly adopted his former master's mannerisms.
- Noble Bird of Prey: A bit more of a literal example, as he earnestly considers himself a king.
- Proud Warrior Race Guy: He takes offense to people insulting birds of prey, as well as referring to him as a rooster.
Akeno Shujinmo
Ultimate Vampire
A Japanese woman who has become a vampire. Has an appropriately gothic look. Wanted to be an Ultimate Film Director, but seems fine with her current talent (thirst notwithstanding).
Is actually Junko Enoshima, and escapes the island.
- Break the Cutie: Doesn't take it well learning her lover never cared about her (having only used her to release his lusts), but was also a serial killer. Except this was an act between them.
- Drama Queen: Intentionally acts like one at times to fit her new vampiric status, though she can drop it when she wants (like when she worries she's hurt Alexander). She seems to drop it more permanently once Alexander's true nature is revealed, but not really.
- Expy: Once the revelation of her real identity is made clear... she's virtually the closest Danganronpa has to the one and only Dio Brando/DIO, being a Large Ham, sadistic, and domination-seeking Big Bad who rejects her humanity and becomes a vampire.
- Fiery Redhead: An energetic young woman with long red hair. Now, what was Junko’s real hair colour again? The reveal also makes her an Evil Redhead.
- Friendly Neighborhood Vampire: A vampire and (theatrics aside) a genuinely nice person. Except not really.
- Interplay of Sex and Violence: Has to drink blood from others, seems to get a thrill out of doing so.
- Large Ham: Has these moments:Behold! I am Queen Akeno Shujinmo, the matron of all vampires!
- Leg Focus: She has long and shapely legs according to the character description.
- Perky Goth: Subverted. She isn't actually a goth (but is very energetic), but spent a lot of her youth traveling Romania with her horror-film-making father and historian mother. She picked up a few things. She went with this backstory delibrately.
- Ship Tease: With fellow dramatic Alexander. Oddly enough she seems to encourage him flirting and sleeping with other women. Turns out, they're both Despairs.
- Shout-Out: Deliberately Makes one to Interview with the Vampire. Then explains what she's referencing.
- Signature Laugh: Fufufu! Actually Pupupu!
- Superpower Lottery: The experiments made her much faster and stronger than most people. She can also make teleportation portals.
- Wall Crawl: Can pull this off (ceilings too), to her visible enjoyment.
- Was It All a Lie?: Asks this of Alexander regarding their relationship. It was on his part. Technically both of their parts.
The people who are helping to run the killing games on the island. Initially exempt from the Killing Games, though during the third game this has become subject to change.
- Big Bad Ensemble: Are this collectively. Mainly Jibo and Kuuma and Saino and Syd, with the rest as henchmen to one degree or another. Junko is a scret addition in the third game.

- Big Bad: of House of Horrors. Initially.
- Dirty Old Man: It's mentioned that at least three of the girl students have had their hormones affected, leading to increased sex drives. There's no discernible logical reason for why this is.

One of Jibo Momota's more loyal children. Helps keep the second Killing Game running with his homunculus creation, Kuuma. Kind of a jerk even at the best of times.
Did not survive the second game.

Is found mauled to death the day before Halloween.
- Admiring the Abomination: Is honestly upset that Jibo's dying of cancer, as it means his 'brilliant mind' will be lost. Never mind what he's used that 'brilliant mind' for. He also takes the apparent death of Jibo very seriously.
- Alliterative Name: Syd Sabrer.
- Big Bad Wannabe: Isn't as in control as he'd like to think, nearly dying once before actually dying. And someone else was pulling the real strings.

A European girl with a death obsession who is on the staff. She is the curator of the mansion gallery.

- Dark and Troubled Past: Is a survivor of the Island's first killing game (the current one is the third). This is presumably when she was broken into despair.
- Despair Event Horizon: Has crossed it, and seems to think Samuel might eventually cross it too.Living is a struggle, so you fight tooth and nail to survive, hoping that good things will come your way. But, no matter how hard you try, it has to end. When it does, you become truly blessed, being freed from such a cruel existence.
- Dissonant Serenity: While she sometimes gets a little sad that people don't understand her art, she is far calmer and collected when working on a piece. Even when people threaten to burn down all her work and promise to haunt her.

- Dark and Troubled Past: Was born to Abusive Parents who constantly belittled her. She ended up spending an excessive amount of time hiding in a morgue during the Tragedy, and came to care for them more than living people.

Is killed the same night Kuuma is, her headless body found in the sanctuary.
- All for Nothing: Her driving motivation was to get her unwanted talent removed. What she didn't know was this was impossible. Or, perhaps, she did know and refused to believe it.
- Ambiguously Evil: Doesn't come across as particularly evil. There's a reason for this.
- Dark and Troubled Past: Is a survivor of the Island's second killing game (the one just before the current one). In it, she and three others attempted to escape, but Brooke, desperate to be cured of her cursed talent, betrayed the group. By the end, she and Sabishī had been broken into the staff, one boy was dead, and another was reduced to roaming a hedge maze like a feral animal.
- Deliberately Monochrome: All her clothes are black and white, a dress code the mastermind and Kuuma insisted on when she joined the staff. Between that and her appearance, the only bit of color she has is her eyes (pale grayish green), her earrings (sapphires), her wristband (brown leather), the birthmark on her left knee (red) and the green streak in her hair.
- Driven to Suicide: Tried to do this after her supposed only hope of being cured died. Failed to do so before turning into her bulletproof Gill-form. She was interrupted (and accidentally crushed the gun) before she could try from the mouth.
- Eerie Pale-Skinned Brunette: Her human form is really pale and has long black hair.

- Locked into Strangeness: Has a single line of green running down the center of her hair through to her ponytail. Possibly subverted as she dyes it.

- Rewarded as a Traitor Deserves: Betrayed the other three survivors of her killing game, getting one killed and the other two broken in differing ways. She ultimately dies, her one desire having been unattainable from the get go.

- Super-Toughness: Her gill-form is bulletproof, to her displeasure.
