Satsuki Sakakibara

"*Everything about this is just so fun for me, just letting all of my anger go in one moment, it all pays off in the end! I hope that it would never end!*"
—Satsuki Sakakibara

**Satsuki Sakakibara** (榊原 咲月. *Sakakibara Satsuki*) is a student of Class 1-E located in Kunugigaoka Junior High School, and even by the standards of Kunugigaoka, Satsuki is a rather *unusual* individual, mainly due on one thing; the halo above her head. Many of the students tend to see her as someone else, someone that should not be here on earth at all, treating more of someone belonging to the Burakumin caste, and shouldn't be in school grounds at all. It got so bad that it is theorized that Satsuki purposely transferred herself to Class E simply to get away from the harassment and hatred towards her halo, that and the fact that because of her carefree personality, it's safe to say that she failed to keep her grades up. From there, Satsuki would come across Gorō Yamaguchi and Musashi Inagawa, where Satsuki would end up joining Musashi's gang and becoming rather feared simply because she doesn't know what is going on around her. Now involved with the assassin of Korosensei, Satsuki would seek to find someway to either hide away her halo and to create a new identity, or maybe she could also use that to her advantage, and make it clear that she is more than just someone unearthly, or maybe, all is already lost the moment she would grab her trusted minigun.

## Appearance

Appearance wise, Satsuki has blonde hair that reaches to her shoulders and green eyes, and the one thing that people can recognize about her is due in part because of the halo on top of her head, making her look like an angel from the bible (albeit not a biblically accurate angel). Said halo is what caused problems for her, as she is seen as someone who shouldn't have been born.

## Personality

A ditty student, it can be said that Satsuki Sakakibara has a bit of a clumsy side, one who isn't aware about what she is doing. Even moreso when she is often seen struggling with a certain problem. The reason why stems from either Satsuki's low intelligence or from the fact that she has been homeschooled as a result of her upbringing. Either way, that clumsy personality is what landed her into Class 1-E.

## Abilities

**Marksmanship:**

**Enhanced Strength:** While it might be a surprise given that Satsuki Sakakibara looks to be weak, it is not to be the case, especially since Satsuki is seen carrying a minigun with her, which means that she must've gotten some muscle training in order to carry something heavy.

**Cooking:**
