## *History*

### *Early Life*

*Kara was born as "Kara Shinko". She had a twin sister named Akari. She and her family lived together for 5 years. However, her parents died in an incident in her hometown, Takayama, Japan. Akari is also thought to be dead. She was adopted by Reznov Kinboshi and was experimented on for a decade. She hated every second and always has PTSD when mentioning a physical experiment to her. Her only salvation at the time was Kinboshi's son, Artemii. Him and Kara quickly became friends and stood by each other. It was so much so that Kara was also quickly amazed by Astrology after Artemii introduced it to her. However, another incident happens and Kara sacrifices herself to save Artemii. The latter kills his own father and retrieves Kara's (miraculously) unharmed body. He removes her brain and creates a fighting robot AI for her brain to inhabit and she never felt the same. When she and Artemii go their separate ways, Kara promises to the latter that she will never kill. A few months later, Kara finds Hope's Peak and attends there under the title of Ultimate Astrologist. As she nears graduation, she falsely finds out she has a second talent: Ultimate Faith. It causes her to fall into despair after escaping and seeing most of humanity without faith. She destroys "faithless" labs as a result of this, even killing "faithless" scientists within. Eventually, she realizes what she has done. To remove her so called "Ultimate Faith" talent, she attends Precept's Peak. During her time, she participates in Operation Rebirth and then takes part in the Killing Game there. Upon graduation from Precept's Peak, she loses her Ultimate Astrologist title and keeps her faith in tact. She currently lives with Brandon, who now lives as her friend and home screen assistant.*

## *Danganronpa: Principle Revival*

### *Prologue*

Kara doesn't attempt to hide the fact that she is an AI, due to her failed attempt in the killing game in the Reserve Department. She warms up to the majority of her classmates, even (naively) Yoru.

### *Chapter 1*

Kara does not get scared once the Killing Game is announced and she gets along with a few of the students there. She finds chemicals capable of lethally harming any of the others. This causes her to try to hide the canisters the chemical is held in. Yoru catches on and makes a deal with Kara. Due to Kara not being able to fulfill her part of the motive, Yoru agrees to help the former out if she brings him the chemicals. She and Yoru were found guilty of pulling the strings, even though Kara never knew the latter's intentions. She begins to hold a grudge against Yoru ever since. She does not vote Ronny off with the others because of this.

### *Chapter 2*

Kara meets Alexa and they hang out for the majority of the Daily Life. She also warms up more to Sonia and, mostly, Brandon. She assists in searching for the "sole mastermind" out of the group, though she goes for a different approach and reaches a conclusion of her own. Kara also finds MORE canisters, however, of a different chemical. She hides them successfully, making them unable to be used by the next blackened unless found out of a miracle. Kara was among the few to be devastated over Brandon's death. She attempts to accuse Yoru of killing Brandon and fails. Needless to say, she also refutes to Brandon's death being a suicide and to him being a mastermind. She again doesn't vote for Brandon, honoring his death.

### *Chapter 3*

   Kara spends most of her time offscreen trying to piece out who the main traitor is, but to no avail. She meets Ichiko and is among the few to warm up to her, though the two do not interact most of the time. She and a few others uncover a golden apple, which is revealed as the motive LATER during the class trial. She tries not to let what Monodora said get to her head and continues to investigate who the main traitor is.

In the Christmas Special, she accepts that Brandon, Mata, and Ronny were all traitors and continues to accept that there are still more. She sobers up and celebrates Christmas with (most of) the others. She and Naoki get their outfits changed into some Christmas-themed ones by Junko. Kara also attends the party, where Junko probably has a crush on her. However, she doesn't set her mind to it, still focused on searching for the main traitor. After looking at the fireworks, she sadly leaves and places small presents in front of everyone's room doors: a small token per classmate, positively describing who each student is as a person.

She and 2 other students go to check up on Ichiko, the others being Kanade and Junko. She also assists in the false murder of Sonia. As she investigates, she slightly falls into a different despair and stays silent for half of the class trial. Midway into the trial, she accuses Yoru for the indirect cause a third time, but ultimately fails. She and Kanade find the true golden apple out of the 3, which is in the latter's possession, and seal Yoru's fate as the blackened. Finding out Yoru's intentions, she loses her grip on her grudge against him and hesitantly votes him off with the others. Kara keeps Yoru's golden knife as a memento.

### *Chapter 4*

Kara is the first to react with the remaining class on Sonia's survival and the end of the killing game. She assists with the investigation in the old campus and the secret area. She doesn't assist much in the discoveries, her most notable one being her and Ren finding a room that can connect a computer to the internet. She also finds and now dons a samurai hat. Even if she doesn't assist much in the investigation, she is one of the first to realize everyone had a part in Operation Rebirth. She doesn't find much and she loses her battery mid-way to the second floor of the main campus. After regaining enough power, she attempts to stay silent towards the other students. However, upon speaking with Ichiko, she recovers a minor part of her memory and her faith. After trying and failing to convince other students to help her, she goes to the gym on her own.

### *Chapter 5*

Kara returns to the second floor an hour later and recharges a while more. She follows Ichiko and her classmates to the old campus where the computer reveals it has been connected with a man named Kaori. Kara follows along to the information given and heads back to the gym with Alexa. Even though they don't find anything, Kara regains more of her memories. However, they seem more saddening to her than hopeful. She isolates herself away from the other students but is found by Kanade and Ichiko. They comfort and reassure her and Kara follows them to the rest of the group as they all enter the last "deadly class trial". She assists in progressing in whoever the mastermind is, who is Kaho's killer, and what happened to the world. This goes on until she forces herself to explain that Ichiko and Kaho were probably swapped. She and Ren give in on that argument upon many pieces of evidence against said claim. However, she helps Kanade comfort Ichiko upon the latter confessing to being the mastermind behind the killing game. She attempts to refute against Ichiko giving herself up to the law, but gives up since it was probably the best thing for the class in her opinion. She shares a hug with Ichiko and bids farewell to her classmates.

### *Epilogue*

A few days after the end of the killing game, on her birthday, Kara gets a present: Brandon reborn as a home screen assistant. Kara welcomes him back with open arms.

## *Trivia*

* "Kara" is Japanese for "love", and her first last name, "Shinko", is Japanese for "faith". "Kinboshi" is, not Russian but, Japanese, for "Venus". Her beta last name, "Zvezdy" is Russian for "stars".
* She was originally going to be a human with a metal arm, but because of a killing game Mayarie hosted in HDF, she changed it so Kara would be an AI instead.
* Kara broke her promise when her mind was broken, so she does her best to mend it. She forgets about the events of the killing games she hosted before the killing game in Precept's Peak, so she still holds on to that promise.
* Kara has 4 eye colors: yellow for her neutral state, green (turning cyan) for her analytic state, blue for her hostile state, and orange for her despaired state.
* The real reason that Kara is 5'8 is because Artemii messed up with measurements and accidentally made her tall.
* Her birthday is connected to the Japanese Coming-of-Age day, in which Japanese women become adults. This is used to reference Kara's birth country being Japan instead of Russia.
* Kara was originally going to be included in another longterm roleplay, but was later made an exclusive to public/longterm HDF roleplays.
