Evangelista (DR)

## Symbol

**Evangelista** is a student of Hope's Peak Academy Brazilian's Branch's Class 1-A and a participant of the Killing School Challenge featured in Dangan Ronpa: Arcane's Temptation. His title is **Ultimate Doctor** (Médico de Nível Super Estudantil lit. *Super Student Level Medic*).

## Official Bio

*Aided by a notorious amount of money from his parents' pockets, it was all a matter of choice for Evangelista to become the **Ultimate Doctor**. Natural talent and disposition were enough to make him a young apprentice for influential doctors from all over the world he climbed the steps of a very linear ladder to the top and nowadays he has special permissions to perform medical actions, all of this at the height of his 17 years. Evangelista, thanks to his rich upbringing is somewhat of a pariah, often bragging about himself in inappropriate times, he draws attention negatively and always wants to be seen as cool, even if it means lying about his life (and he is a very bad liar). His sexist interest for multiple woman often comes in play and this just fuels people to dislike him even more.*

## Appearance

Evangelista is a dark olive skinned, slender teenager with black, short, spiky hair brushed back, along with dark brown eyes. He has noticeable dark smudges on his face that are likely a result of melasma. He wears plainly, with a dark gray shirt, black jean pants and black slip-on sneakers with white soles. Additionally, he wears a small black bracelet on his left arm's wrist.

On his pajamas, he keeps his bracelet, but instead wears just a single, small and fitting boxer short colored black and with golden trimmings. He is shirtless and barefoot.

## Personality

Evangelista is a gullible, quirky teenager who is mostly known for his large amounts of money and talent. As seen in his dialogue, he is prideful and thinks highly of himself, sometimes to the point of being rude to the others by unintentionally demeaning them.

He has a knack to brag about his accomplishments whenever the chance is presented, sometimes to the point of annoying others. Whenever he isn't able to pander others with what he truly achieved, he opts to lie, albeit badly, to add on some extra grandiosity to his stories and skills; This implies he's interested on having the spotlight set on him or, at least, being admired by his peers. Since his lies are abhorrent, most of them doesn't pass behind the radar of the other classmates and people are quick to catch him on his insincerity.

His desperate attempts to impress are more than often focused in the intent of wooing girls around him: He's somewhat obsessed with trying to win over the interest of females, specially the ones he deem "worthy" by his somewhat sexist standards, and while he tries to pass as a Casanova and a charmer, he fails to live up to his own standards and is quick to embarrass himself in front of them and fail to connect with those he grows to have a interest on.

Despite his cry for love, he also seems to suffer with commitment issues: While crazy for physical relationships he is also insecure about stopping with one person and is scared his choice will hurt not only his free will but also his reputation as a Ultimate Doctor. Those issues stem from extreme selfishness and recklessness, pointing out that his fatal flaw is childishness.

## Talents and Abilities

### Ultimate Doctor

Evangelista is an acknowledged medical student and, obviously, an expert when it comes to anything theoretical related about health. He has shown an enormous amount of expertise with chemicals related to pharmacy and was able to give off detailed autopsy details without having any proper equipment, proving the extent of his talent.

Despite his massive amount of sheer talent, he appears to lack the self-control doctors usually have and is quick to be selfish and devious. Since his training was conditioned by money, it's implied Suianne is far more talented than he is, but this is never formally confirmed or even mentioned in the course of the story.

## History

### Prior to Killing School Challenge

Evangelista spent his middle school years in **Dr. Gonzales Institute for Promising Youth**, a preparatory school with a high tuition meant to prepare students who wished to work and study things related to health and physics. It's confirmed that he was found and scouted to Hope's Peak somewhere around his time here.

At some point in his studies, he learnt to, and possibly also made use of, Ambroxovenlafaxine Hydrochloride, a highly potent drug made with two common drugs.

### Killing School Challenge

#### **Prologue**

Evangelista is introduced along with Joel in the Chem Lab. At first, he struggles to hide an unknown mixture from Caio and Ian and eventually succeeds once both of them doesn't seem to care enough and accept his faux claim of doing a "test drive" on the lab. During his introduction, he makes a sexist remark about how women are "easy", annoying Ian.

He is later present along with everyone else on the class' dinner at the same day, but stays quiet during the whole ordeal. Later, he is present in the classroom when Monokuma announces the killing game and gasps when it's revealed they're going to spend the rest of their lives in the academy.

#### **Chapter 1**

During the first morning after Monokuma's appearance, he arrives in the cafeteria along with the group "that cares a lot about others' time or cares a lot about having a good student rep", where he supposedly flirts with Thay, receiving a harsh response from her. He is among those curious by the council during the morning's meeting and, later, appears disgusted at the first motive's in the next morning.

In the second morning after the motive reveal, he reunites with Kimberlly, Caio and Laura after the breakfast to debate about the proposed party. Here, he reveals about a pen drive filled with content in his possession to try and impress the girls and lies about playing a number of instruments, but is quickly outwitted by Caio and quickly leaves thereafter. After his departure, the girls discuss about his constant flirting and Laura exposes about his constant lying. Caio them compares him to a TV show's Casanova, much to Kimberlly's agreement. After Laura reveals about one of his sexist comments, all of them show a degree of disgust towards him.

He is present during the morning after and is among the group who discovers Letícia's body in the freezer. During the investigation, he's one of the few people allowed in the crime scene due to his talent where he helps Suianne with the autopsy and tries to help with the investigation overall.

During the trial, he occasionally gives off suggestions and opinions but refrain from giving any solution, being very insistent on a possible suicide. When the Ambroxovenlafaxine Hydrochloride connection to the case is figured out, he is finally cornered along with Joel due to them likely being the ones who manufactured it and, after some insistence from the others, Joel finally outs him as the drug's real owner, effectively revealing he was Letícia's killer all along. He reacts to this reveal with intense anxiety and fails to defend himself from any accusation, quickly falling off when he's asked to tell his, nonexistent, alibi.

Unable to cope with his exposition, he stays silent after being voted guilty and silently accepts the insults towards him, until Ian gives him the advice to speak up the truth. He tears up and admit not wanting to kill Letícia, even if he was interested in the harem reward. After Monokuma shows a video fotage from the time of the murder, it's revealed he killed her in a fit of emotion over their differences towards their relationship and, in a whim, he tells the others he feels heartbroken over killing the one person that genuinely loved him for who he has, flaws included, in the moment she show him her own flaws.

In his final moments, he accept his death and asks for forgiveness, specially reserving his last words to whisper a final pledge to Letícia. He is them dragged to his execution and mauled before being burned to death.

#### **Post-Mortem**

Besides having his portrait appearing in all trials after his death, he is also mentioned during Chapter's 2, as Thay mention she got in possession of his pen drive and comments on his weird music taste. He's also mentioned by Kimberlly during the class trial.

## Relationships

### Letícia

* **Mutual Love Interest; Victim**

While they are never seem interacting before the first trial, it's revealed they had a somewhat romantic relationship with each other and were meeting every night at the kitchen in a direct infraction of the Council's rules. While the full extent of their relationship isn't shown, they assumedly were close and Evangelista made it clear that Letícia has truly loved him for who he was.

Despite seemingly being attracted to each other, Evangelista failed to comitt to their relationship and was still flirtatious with other girls even when they were together, hinting he wasn't truly interested in her or, at least, not as invested as she was in their relationship. Nevertheless, after he kills her in a drugged fit of emotion, he changes his mind about her completely and spends his last moments mourning her and lamenting his previous attitude towards her.

### Joel

* **Comrade**

Joel and Evangelista are introduced together and seemingly bond over Evangelista's drug manufacturing skills. However, they likely had no close bond and Joel was quick, albeit a bit reluctant, to throw Evangelista under the bus during the trial.

### Kimberlly

* **One-sided rivalry on her side**

Initially, Kimberlly was barely midly irritated by Evangelista's advances and sexism, but once it's revealed he was Letícia's lover and, furthermore, killer, she went on a rampage agaisn't him and blamed him hardly for her friend's death. Thanks to his confession, however, she decides not to fully blame him in respect for Letícia's strong feelings towards him, but it's clear that she has her own resentments about him.

### Female colleagues

* **One-sided attraction on his side**

Evangelista has flirted with a large number of girls during the game and, sans Letícia, annoyed most of them with his lies and blatant opportunism. While interested romantically in the girls, he still made sexist comments about them behind their backs.
