Chiemi Serizawa

**Chiemi Serizawa** (芹沢 千枝実, *Serizawa Chiemi*) is a supporting character in *Raging Loop*. She is a college student who decided to return to her hometown, Yasumizu. She is the first person that Haruaki meets upon his arrival.

Chiemi gets along better with the younger residents of Yasumizu, but is on good terms with everyone in the village. She is seen as a "big sister" figure, and some call her as such. She unwillingly gets caught up in the Feast of the Yomi-Purge.

## Appearance

Chiemi is a fit, young woman with black hair and brown eyes.

She wears a long, green coat over a yellow t-shirt, along with jean shorts and red boots. This is her favorite outfit, so much so that she has two sets, but she is also shown wearing a blue and white tracksuit at times.

## Personality

According to the art book, Chiemi is friendly and sociable. She is welcoming toward outsiders, unlike most other Yasumizu residents. Being raised in the country, she is also athletic. She knows how to use a gun and prep game, and often assists Kanzo in doing so. Overall, Chiemi is helpful to others.

However, God is a touchy subject for her. Mentioning God has the power to render Chiemi powerless, as she is incredibly afraid of the God. This is because she has apparently seen God once, and knows just how scary God can be.

### Feast of the Yomi Purge

Chiemi, while not holding total control over the discussion, is an active participant in the Feast. She presents bold ideas to the others, and has the power to turn the tide of meetings when it counts.

In Yomi, Chiemi is very kind toward Haruaki and provides guidance during the Feast. She also gives him a voice in the meetings by sharing his thoughts with the others. However, when the wolves are revealed, she gives up on escaping and bares her weak and God-fearing side to Haruaki.

In Wit, Chiemi takes on a very different role. As a wolf, she is cruel and conniving. She has no problem sacrificing one of her teammates in order to have a better chance at victory. She is not only okay with murdering those she grew up with, but she even states that she loves killing. When she is discovered, she resorts to massacre and maniacally tells Haruaki to die loving her.

Chiemi does not play too big a part in Darkness, as she commits suicide on the first day in order to prevent the wolves from killing anybody.

Overall, Chiemi is tactical during the Feast.

## Identity

Chiemi Serizawa, born Chiemi Miguruma, was the heir apparent of the Miguruma Family. However, when she was young, she accidentally wandered into the room where they kept the violent dogs used in the Feast. She was attacked and scarred by the dogs and was deemed "corrupted" by Yomi. Rikako was called to take in that corruption, but Chiemi was still exiled to Yasumizu.

The wolf crest necklace she wears, which supposedly holds back the corruption, is a painful reminder of this incident. Ever since then, Chiemi has harbored resentment toward her town which culminated in her moving away for college.

However, she returned out of boredom the day prior to the game's start. It was then that she got caught in Rikako's loop. Like Haruaki, Chiemi was able retain her memories. However, unlike him, she has gone through more than 100 loops. This made her lose her grip on sanity, along with the fact that the Feast required her to commit murder several times. By the time she meets Haruaki, she is so exhausted that her only goal is to switch up her methods of killing and dying.
