## Personality

Sazanami is shy and quiet, often not speaking for days on end. She enjoys her moments of solitude, gazing up at the ever changing sky. Staying withdrawn from everyone else, replies are few and far between. She has an aversion to attention, and is extremely uncomfortable when people turn their eyes to her. However, she gets very defensive whenever the media is mentioned, specifically television. There are very few that she'll open up to, and even then, she scarcely shows any vulnerability. She's only truly relaxed when she's alone, where she can act without restraint and worries. She hides her envy for a normal life like her peers, and buries herself in her beloved work.

## Background

The eldest daughter of the Ameno family, Sazanami hails from Osaka. She is currently acting the head of the household in place of her parents, who are always away at work. Her family had to struggle with continual poverty, and with three younger siblings, she signed a contract with a TV station to act as a weather reporter. However, she quit after two years due to various harassment accounts. She was later offered an opportunity to work at a meteorology lab with little publicity, and she accepted. She is currently studying thermodynamic changes in the polar caps.

## Story

Sazanami woke up in DRN5, and was placed in a yurt with Yukio Matsuzaki. She continued on with a relatively mundane pattern day by day within the game. One night, she visited the saloon to get some water to help her sleep better, and happened to meet with Akitoshi and Bartender Monokuma. There, Monokuma revealed that he gave a weapon to another student. Due to a miscommunication, Akitoshi assumed Sazanami was plotting to murder someone, and obtained a gun from Monokuma. Her umbrella was then stolen, and when Aiko and Nagisa began a duel, she spotted it in a building that Akitoshi had placed it in. Going over to retrieve it, she was shot in the head by him and died.

## Relationships

DRN5 Participants: Sazanami refrained from forming any close relationships with the group, instead quietly sitting in the background and observing them. However, she is still fairly protective of them, and doesn't like it when Monokuma threatens the general group.
