## Biography

Across each chapter, Rowan attempted to befriend as many others as they could during the killing game, but only succeeded in befriending Haruko Kiyohara, Kumoshi Imai and Azora Oshiro. Rowan was regularly mistrusted by most other members of the cast that recognized them, save for Natonato Takane.

During Chapter 1, Rowan made hardly any appearance until the Class Trial during which they raised suspicion on themselves even further. By being too talkative and having too many theories, they almost threw the entire first trial. They befriended Azora and Kumoshi during this time, though all others seemed hesitant to interact.

In Chapter 2, Rowan spent a lot more time getting to know their classmates. During the Chapter 2 motive, they chose to emulate a much shy-er, socially anxious persona in order to seem more friendly. This persona backfired on them, as they angered Kumoshi Imai and started an all-out fight between the two. Kumoshi became shortly aware of the deception, but was too distressed to call them out.

Rowan was the Chapter 2 Blackened, convincing one of their fellow classmates to attempt a murder in order to test if the simulation would actually kill them. They convinced Itsuki Kou, the Ultimate Representative to attempt a murder with the promise of helping her win her trial. When her murder attempt failed, Rowan was forced to kill the surviving Forest Kuina in an act of self defense. They did not choose to admit guilt before the final vote count, and were executed.

## Execution

The Execution of Rowan Kinza, the **Ultimate Manipulator**

*Stringing Along*

Rowan is attached to wire marionette strings that pull them along a travelling stage and through a collection of crudely constructed play scenes. First, they are forced to act as the knight battling a dragon puppeted by the Monotwins, their arms swinging a cardboard sword. The Monotwins make the dragon 'bite', and with it the wire relieves Rowan of their arm. Their face screws up and they bare their teeth. Next has them on a fake street waiting at the side of the road with a briefcase by their feet. Their arm is yanked up as if waving to hail a taxi. The cardboard taxi, driven by Monoyoru, pulls up and as Rowan's pulled to "get into" it, the door slams and their other arm is gone. The third scene has them and the Monotwins hiking up a snowy mountain, paper flying around to imitate snow. Monohi trips them up and they fall, putting their leg through the floor as they get "caught in a snowdrift". Their leg is gone when they are yanked back up by the wire round their middle. Clearly in immense pain, they grit their teeth, refusing to give in. The next scene sees Rowan "riding a unicycle" in a park. The unicycle goes over a ramp, sending them flying, then crashing into a wall and removing their other leg. A fake cloud of dust obscures them, and when it clears, Rowan is unmoving, too much blood lost.
