> ~Draco Daichi in Chapter 4 Trial

**Minoru "Draco" Daichi-Moore**, also referred to as **Draco Daichi**. He is a student of Hope's Peak Academy, and a participant of the City's Killing Game featured in the Danganronpa RP Hub. His title is the **Ultimate Novelist** [ lit. *Super High School Level Novelist. ]*

## Appearance

Draco is a cute, petite boy with platinum blonde hair with a mix of greyish hair. He has light blue eyes, and so does his hat and scarf. He has bangs that are placed between his eyes and a stitch line that comes from his back head side that ends at his cheek. Draco wears a black long-sleeved buttoned shirt and a white open front cardigan sweater along with light brown shorts. He wears white silverish boots that reach below his knees.

### Former Appearance

As Rae, he is a short, petite boy described to be beautiful by others that has blonde hair and the same blue eyes. He wears a white buttoned shirt and black overalls, a black ribbon wrapped around the shirt's collar. Rae wears black thigh high socks and brown shoes.

## Personality

Draco is a character who prides himself on his organizational skills and strives to maintain a well-mannered and composed demeanor. However, he often finds himself doubting his words and may struggle to articulate his thoughts effectively, leading to occasional hesitations and fragmented sentences. Despite being more inclined towards action rather than words, Draco remains relatively quiet overall. As he grows comfortable with his surroundings, glimpses of his true personality begin to emerge, revealing a sweet, talkative, supportive, and compassionate individual. Draco's adeptness with words becomes apparent, as he possesses the ability to persuade and influence others by applying just the right amount of pressure. His love for music and singing is evident through his enthusiasm for Kenny's music and his own talent in this artistic realm.

Beneath his kind demeanor, Draco harbors a short temper, a snarky nature, and a tendency towards mild chaos. This side of his personality becomes more pronounced following the introduction of a motive in Chapter 2. The motive serves as a catalyst for Draco to embrace his true self, even though he initially despises this aspect of his personality. He preferred to maintain a mature façade until Kenny reassures him that he can be true to himself, emphasizing that acting contrary to his genuine nature is not the right path. Since then, Draco has navigated a balance between his composed persona and his snarky thoughts, choosing when to express them aloud. He holds the belief that people find his fake self more likable, perceiving his "real" self as undesirable. This perception creates a sense of loneliness and a lack of trust or reliance on others, as he feels that his true identity is not understood or valued. Draco carries the weight of losing his loved ones to death or murder, intensifying his feelings of isolation and discontent.

In essence, Draco is a complex character whose external composure and internal conflicts create a dichotomy within him. His journey may involve reconciling the various facets of his personality, embracing his true self without fear of judgment, and finding solace in genuine connections that accept him for who he truly is. Overcoming his loneliness and seeking understanding and empathy from others may ultimately lead to his personal growth and inner fulfillment.

## Talents and abilities

As the Ultimate Novelist, he is skilled at adapting easily, has strong research skills and organizational skills. Extremely talented at writing stories, Draco writes Mystery and Fantasy novels, his Barry Trotter novel series (the parody version of Harry Potter) is known throughout the Danganronpa RP Universe. With his past revealed, Draco is revealed to be talented at manipulating, lying and surgery.

As a Remnant of Despair, it is unknown if Draco has murdered other people other than Kenny and Minoru (the real Draco) but it is rumored that he was a mass murderer. whether this is true or not, it has not been confirmed. Draco is skilled at fencing and knife wielding due to being taught by his adoptive father.

## Background

### Prior to the tragedy

Ellis "Rae" Trent was born on August 11. He was originally born with a smaller petite body that is not like his current taller body that he inhabits. Rae was born with blonde hair and the same blue eyes he had as Draco. Rae is seen to be a beautiful child, seemingly androgynous. Years ago, it is unknown where Rae came from or who his parents were so he was put in an orphanage and soon got adopted by the Trents, then grew up in a strict and rich family.

Rae was often used as a dress up tool by his adoptive mother and a weapon by his adoptive father. He did not mind his mother for he grew to like shopping and dressing up in nice, colorful clothings with her but Rae learned to fear his father greatly. Every morning, Rae's father would train Rae in the arts of fencing as well as swordsmanship. Then, at night, Rae's father would send him to his enemies and force Rae to fight them alone, mostly leaving Rae gravely injured and traumatized by the sudden violent events. Rae would fight and kill from dusk to dawn.

At some point, Rae's adoptive parents got divorced, and while his family was broken, Rae and his mother remained inseparable. His adoptive mother worked as a Doctor so Rae would sing in the Hospital lobby for visitors, after learning he could sing. One night, Rae's father unexpectedly fetched Rae from the house he and his mother moved in during his mother's work hours and sent him to fight his enemies once again, scarring Rae for life once more.

Rae had no weapon and was forced to suffer from fatal injuries until Rae found a steel pipe and used it to kill his attackers. After a long, tiring battle, Rae dropped down on the ground, sobbing about how he is forever destined to lose his innocence and be a sinner. Then a familiar blonde girl appears, walking towards him in the middle of the battleground. She compliments how he looked beautiful and innocent when covered in angel's feathers.

The girl introduced herself as, Junko Enoshima and offered him to be her child, saying that a demon can never wield such a angel such as him. But she, an angel could. Rae, in awe of her appearance and thus seeing her as an angel that has come to save him from a horrible life, accepted the offer. After the incident, Rae came back home to murder his father, scaring Rae's mother which led Rae to scare her off with a threat. Junko praised Rae for what he did and both disappeared into the night.

Months passed, Junko brought Yasuke Matsuda to perform a transformation and neuro surgery on Rae, resulting him into becoming the Ultimate Doll. After Rae woke up, he has little memories of his past before meeting Junko, only remembering that Junko is his mother and how both loved each other very much. Junko has brought Rae to a hidden base where the Warriors of Hope are residing in, introducing Rae to them as her child and how they should treat him as their friend and superior. She then teaches Rae about despair and the thrill of it.

### The Orphanage

During peaceful times before the Tragedy struck, Junko went to another country for unknown reasons but it is implied to due to her Ultimate Fashionista talent. Rae was left alone to himself and sometimes would spend time with Mukuro, who'd be away most of the times so the only thing he thought of was the orphanage he first ended up in. It took him a while to find the exact one so he came back to the mansion he used to live in with his former family. Rae does not remember his adoptive family but Junko introduced him to the mansion months ago and they stayed in it for a while before. Soon, Rae found his adoption papers and returned to the Orphanage.

Rae returns to see the Orphanage looking more lively than it ever was ever since he left. He meets up with the headmaster who recognizes him and allows him to stay as long as he wants. The whole afternoon, Rae played with the other orphans and genuinely had fun. It was sunset when Rae went back home and returned the next day, when he met Minoru "Draco" Daichi-Moore.

### Minnie and Rae

Minoru "Draco" Daichi-Moore has been an orphan ever since he turned 11 when his parents died in a car accident. He is mature, kind and loving to the other orphans and is seen as their older sibling figure. Rae met them when he found Minoru writing in a book on a picnic table after lunch ended. The two shared an interest in books and has talked the whole day about childish fantasies and imaginations.

Since then, Minoru and Rae became best friends, almost like brothers. They're together every hour of everyday. Minoru is the one who inspired Rae to write stories after reading about magic and fantasy worlds. While Rae is introverted, Minoru is extroverted due to his energetic behavior. Minoru loved drawing and singing. He'd always wish that he could leave and explore the whole world to discover amazing things.

The two also loved playing with toys and horsing around by playful wrestling (Minoru always wins due to him being bigger compared to Rae). They'd watch Sailor Moon and sing the theme song out loud together in the middle of a night. Minoru would always be called as, "Minnie" by Rae much to Minoru's protests and it eventually stuck. He'd call Rae, "Raesins" at times.

Rae soon writes the Barry Trotter novel series under the pen name, "Draco Daichi" much to Minoru's confusion. He reminded Minoru that he hated Draco Daichi in his name and preferred Minoru Moore. Minoru accepted it.

### Tragedy

Rae witnessed **The Worst, Most Despair-inducing Incident in the History of Mankind** done by his mother and his aunt, Mukuro and was amazed by the chaos and despair throughout the city. He stayed with the Warriors of Hope during it all as they watched but soon had to say goodbye when they had to go to Towa City. Junko calls Rae to start something that will surely cause despair and Rae asks what should be the first thing he should do and Junko answers by breaking his heart and eliminate those in their way.

### Becoming Draco Daichi

After saying goodbyes, Rae rushed to the orphanage to find it unfazed by the Tragedy due to it being at the corner of the city. He soon finds Minoru who luckily happened to be at the entrance after finding out about the Tragedy in the news. Rae begs Minoru to come "home" with him like they always planned but Minoru didn't want to leave the other orphans so Rae lies that he'll come back for them then the two fled for the mansion.

The mansion is located in a suburban area of the city. It is luckily untouched by the chaos. Rae takes Minoru to the basement of the mansion to the confusion of Minoru. Rae reveals to Minoru his true identity and who his mother is and how he's somewhat involved with the Tragedy much to Minoru's horror. After meeting Minoru, he tells Minoru how he changed his mind and that he wanted to live a happy life instead of causing pain to other people, saying the act of doing so feels like dirt to his clean hands.

Minoru convinces Rae that he can turn away from all of this and that they can run away together from the mess Junko made. Rae refuses his efforts and tearfully says that he need to break his heart, which is Minoru. Realizing what Rae meant, Minoru pleads for his life and the two wrestled when Rae pulled out his knife.

The two struggled for a long while. It was just like the old days, them playfully wrestling but this time, it's do or die. Surprisingly, Rae won the struggle and stabbed Minoru's stomach. Minoru started despairing over Rae's betrayal much to Rae's horror and soon, Minoru died of blood loss.

Rae mourns his death and felt a terrible heartache, almost wishing he could take his heart out but held on. He had a mental breakdown that lasted for minutes until he calmed down. Rae didn't want to leave Minoru here and not like this so after some twisted thinking, he performed surgery on Minoru's body and transferred his brain and heart during the process. Remembering the lessons Yasuke taught him, Rae has now taken over Minoru's body and inhabits it as if it's his own.

Rae went into that mansion and left as Draco Daichi. Despite bleeding and looking very disturbing, he went into the ruins of the orphanage that is now wrecked and slaughtered the remaining survivors, taunting them that he as Minoru betrayed them in order to spread despair and to take out his grief on others.

### Junko's Doll

Rae, now going as Draco, went on with his duties as a Remnant of Despair, slaughtering other innocent people in the city. He also spends his free time, observing killing games that his mother, Junko inspired or influenced other individuals to mastermind.

Before locking herself with her classmates and starting a killing game, Junko made Draco promise to kill himself when it's the right time and that they, as mother and child, will share the same fate no matter what he says. Draco obliged and with one final command, she says to spread more despair by joining a killing game and that will be his end. Draco answers by saying, "It will be my last playtime as your Doll, Mother." Junko smiled sweetly and whispers that he will make her proud.

When Junko died, Draco stopped his murder spree and spent his time observing killing games, and the chaos his fellow remnants have done.

### Junko Enoshima

Draco and Junko surprisingly has a loving mother-son relationship despite the circumstances. Just like Mukuro and Yasuke, Junko saw losing him as something to despair about. Despite appearing to be having no love for Mukuro, she loved the three and while she acts horrible to her sister, Junko acts kind and loving to Draco and Yasuke. Draco, after some time, is conflicted on what to feel about Junko due to growing to be more aware of her horrible actions as the Ultimate Despair and his. When asked on how he feels about Junko, he'd answer; "She is a good mother but she also happens to be the worst human being in the entire world..."

When Junko died in the first Killing Game, Draco is reminded of what Junko told him of about sharing the same fate as her. Ending up to die for their mistakes. Junko died in despair and so did Draco. Both mother and child dying with the same feeling.
