## Talent

## History

### Before the Killing Game

In a conversation with Akane Taira, Akamine stated that she was born in a family that lived in poverty, as such they could barely have a proper life while taking care of her and her siblings. In an act of desperation, Nori and two other siblings were sent to an orphanage.

While she had the luck to get adopted by a wealthy man and live through a luxurious life, Nori never got to know the fate of her biological family. Whoever satisfied enough with her new situation, Akamine swore to never look back and dedicate her life to servitude as a form to pay her "debt".

Her maid skills were acknowledged by The New Academy for Ultimate Students in which she was invited to join the first class of the new school.

### Prologue: The Calm Before The Storm

Nori was one of the 15 students who arrived and introduced themselves at the airport. As all students arrived at the island, they encountered their tour guide, Monokuma. The bear gave them the rules and a map on a device called the Monopad. Nori entered the dining hall and insisted to make a simple meal for everyone but once Mikado Sannoji told the group he was able to produce a feast out of magic, she gave up the idea willing to enjoy the wizard's meal.

The maid decided to take a trip to the park nearby the hotel the students were staying in and joining in a small chat that was happening there with Rin Satsuki, Mikan Tsumiki and Kokoro Mitsume.

With the nighttime arriving, Monokuma called the students to make an announcement in the hotel's lobby. Nori arrived soon after and, just like everyone else, saw the tour guide glitching. With a menacing way of speech, the bear presented their new circumstances and the Killing Game that would shortly begin in the island. Nori tried her best to not show her fear of not being able to return home and, just like Setsuka Chiebukuro, Akamine attempted to calm her classmates down.

Soon after Ren Shirogane's speech ended, Nori left to stargaze at the beach. She encountered Kaito Momota, in which she had a short conversation with and then returned to the hotel.

### Chapter 1: Welcome to the Killing Resort!

On the morning of the next day, Monokuma informed the students about a plaza. Akamine decided to stay at the hotel to take care of the dishes and the cleaning of the dining hall. After some time, the group that had previously left to explore the new location (TBA)

### Biological Family

Although her parents abandoned her, Nori does not hate them and understands that their actions are justified by the need to escape the situation they were in. She never mentioned the type of relationship she had with her siblings but it seems that they were on good terms.

Nori told her adoptive father that she would never want to enter in any kind of contact with her biological family again.

### Christov Kosyek

Christov is Akamine's adoptive father. He is the one that Nori has uttermost respect since he, in her words, "saved her from misery, giving a new life and purpose". As for now, the only type of relationship that Akamine lets others know is of master and servant. Even if that claim holds a portion of the truth, Akamine is very fond of her father and the man equally cares and worries for his daughter's life. He is the one responsible for the true nature of her talent.

### Yuliy

He was Akamine's fiancé. For the longest time, Yuliy was the only one Nori truly loved, being able to know her more emotional and caring self. One day, however, an accident caused the separation of the two and Yuliy's body was never found. She refuses to talk about her past with him.

**Killing Island Life Participants:**

### Akane Taira

Just like her fellow classmates, and for the fact that Akane shares a similar talent to Nori's, she tries to keep a professional relationship. Sometimes, Akamine worries about Taira's well-being, asking her to occasionally take breaks as seen in the beginning of Chapter 2, where she asked Akane to relax until they could go to the Third Island. Despise that, sometimes when they are not working, Nori and Akane can be seem together sharing some maid experiences and events that happened in their lives.

### Rin Satsuki

Rin is one of the most seen people hanging out with Nori. During the beginning of Chapter 1, Satsuki produced chamomile plants to help the maid make some tea. After this event, and some other casual conversations from both sides, Akamine developed a genuine sense of protection towards Rin, as if she were from her own family. On the way to the Second Island, upon discovering one of Nori's secret, Satsuki stayed further away from her, except for Sanguine who kept being her usual self around Akamine.
