Zora Alpine

Zora Alpine, also known as the Ultimate Hiker, is a Danganronpa OC that was first used on Amino and has now been transferred into Lizard's latest book project, Future's Hope: Fanganronpa
==Personality:==
===Amino:===
Zora is quite a shy character who is very anxious upon meeting new people, she does desperately want to make friends, but her social anxiety due to her backstory makes it almost impossible. She is very friendly once you get to know her and will do anything to protect the few friends she does have
===Future's Hope:===
Zora is incredibly confident and assertive, she has to be in order to survive in this despair-stricken city. She is rather defensive and once someone gets on her bad side, they usually stay there. She is protective and loyal to her friends and isn't afraid to crack a joke when she doesn't have to be professional around others.
==Backstory:==
===Amino:===
Zora also grew up in a poor neighbourhood, but her family loved her very much, they had been trying for a child now, and Zora was their only child, so they gave her all the love and attention in the world. She was regularly get plushies and other toys, but mainly plushies, her favourite being a stuffed bear which she carried with her everywhere. She didn't get a lot of food, but she always went to bed with food in her stomach, even if that meant that her parents got little themselves, they were just happy that Zora was happy. 
Until... You see, Zora's parents were poor, so they had borrowed quite a bit of money from some rather shady individuals, and one day, these people wanted their money back, and with the extortionate interest rate that came along with the deal. Of course, Zora's parents could never pay it back, and so, their house was stripped of anything of value, that's when the people entered the bedroom, where Zora was playing with her plushies. They started to steal her toys, much to Zora's cries to stop, but once they tried to steal her plush, Zora turned on the man and bit at his face, causing the man to yell out in pain as Zora narrowly missed his eye as they started to scratch Zora's back and even pulled out a knife on her, which was what eventually got Zora off, only to leave her with deep scars across her back which would never heal. These men also verbally abused her, slurs and cuss words were flung at her as if they were nothing and eventually they left, along her to keep the singular plush for her efforts. 
After that night, Zora lived in paranoia whenever she stepped outside, scared someone would try and attack her like these men did, for she had no idea why they came in at that time. She was sent to a public school and received basic education and made herself a couple of friends despite herself, but she was still very much afraid, especially of the male staff and taller students. 
One day, when she was 13, she went on a school trip with her friends that was supposed to be a rewards trip. They would hike up one of the tallest mountains in the area, which was were Zora found that she had quite a skill for this, being able to carry boatloads of stuff and almost never get tired as she trekked up the mountain, almost outpacing the very mountain climbers she was with. However, one day, when they were near the very top of this hill, there was a roadblock of a group of mountain goats, as the staff tried to manoeuvre the goats away, Zora accidentally got chucked off the mountain by a very aggressive goat. The other students screamed and ran, causing everyone else to chase after, assuming Zora would already be dead. But she wasn't. She had somehow managed to pull something out of her backpack and used that to cling onto the side of the mountain, where she would physically pull herself up and wait for the others. When the others came back, and Zora was alive, they practically celebrated and all had the biggest meal of their lives.
As Zora got older and left school, she knew of her natural talent and used it to find herself a couple of jobs to get herself some money for her family, but none of these jobs bought quite as much money (and fame) as when Zora decided to start climbing the tallest mountains in her region in record timing, shaving hours, even days off original times. Of course, this caught the attention of Hope's Peak, and she was invited as the Ultimate Hiker. She quickly accepted and began her new life.
===Future's Hope:===
Zora's backstory remained the same, only with the added detail of how they got trapped in New Verrock:
After her time spent in Hope's Peak, Zora was returning to her parents new home they had moved in to with the money Zora had raised for them, however, once the Tragedy struck, there was no way Zora would be able to reach them and so she retreated to her dorm, grabbing all belongings before making her way to the nearest city to attempt to live out her life in Verrock. Early on, Zora would become familiar with various rebellion groups throughout the city, but the main one she was part of was the Liberation Corp. She became a Soldier amongst their ranks, but after many months of dedication, she finally became an Overseer (leader) of the Military. She would keep this position for a lengthy time, before going on a mission and disappearing for two months after she had been cut off from the group by Monokumas who viciously hunted her down.
