**Carmen Knitbone** is a participant of the Cirque Du Simulation Killing Game. The killing game is not tied to a real Danganronpa game, however, it is featured on Quotev (@nezumicastle) and therefore, hosted online. Her title is the Ultimate Lucky Student.

 History

### Early Life

Carmen was born as an only child and grew up in England, implied to be somewhere in Greater London, with both her mother and father. However, in her early childhood, her parents divorced, leaving her under the care of her father while her mother pursued her career. In her early years, she was reportedly a "gifted" student, reading books far above her age bracket and being described as "quiet and mature" for her age.

### Primary Events

After moving to urban Japan with her father in her teens, Carmen attended public high school where she was bullied and ostracized for her marked lack of social grace and anxious tendencies. However, following the arrival of a mysterious invitation letter from one such Hope's Peak Academy, Carmen began attending the school as the Ultimate Lucky Student.

## Talent

Carmen was assigned the title of Ultimate Lucky Student upon invitation to Hope's Peak by being pulled from a lottery of ordinary students. Despite her title, Carmen states multiple times that she doesn't believe in the concept of good or bad luck, and that lucky or unlucky things that happen to her are simply coincidence. However, it is implied that her luck has, in fact, influenced events in her past.

## Appearance

Carmen is a young high-school-aged girl with pale skin, blue eyes, and chin-length curly white hair with an ahoge and tufts resembling animal ears.

She wears a white button-up blouse, a baggy beige sweater, a pleated grey skirt, knee-length socks, and black lace-up school shoes. She has a short, rather thin build, and wears large, round glasses with thick lenses. She wears a pale blue backpack with a plushie chinchilla keychain attached to the zipper.

 Personality

Carmen is a very nervous and skittish person, actively avoiding the other students at first by locking herself inside her caravan during chapter 1. She's easily startled, poor at conversation, and has a marked stutter when under pressure to speak, rarely doing so in trials [read: pret fell asleep halfway through them lol]. She's easily won over by anyone who is nice to her, however, and as the killing game progresses she warms up to a few of the other students and participates more actively in investigations.

She's shown to have a phobia of, or at least a notable disgust for, excessive gore and body horror, as she couldn't even look at Cupid's body in chapter 3 without feeling ill and agreed to assisted suicide with Rina just to avoid the effects of the chapter 4 motive.
