Angie Yonaga

**Angie Yonaga** (夜長 アンジー *Yōnaga Anjī*) is a student in Ultimate Academy for Gifted Juveniles and a participant of the Killing School Semester featured in *Danganronpa V3: Killing Harmony*.

Angie has the title **Ultimate Artist** (超高校級の「美術部」*Chō kōkō-kyū no “bijutsu-bu” lit.*Super High School Level Art Club Member). She claims that her art is work of Atua, ("God of the Island" in the Japanese version) rather than her own.

## Appearance

Angie has tanned skin and round, pale blue eyes. Her hair is a light platinum blonde that looks almost white and is tied into two wavy ponytails by small, thin hair bands. She appears to have a tattoo in shape of three dots around her bellybutton, but they could also be piercings.

She's shown to be wearing a white, frilly bikini top and presumably a matching bottom, over which she wears a plain blue skirt with frills sewn to the bottom of it. On top of her skirt, she wears a pink utility belt which holds her carving tools. Angie wears a yellow smock which reaches below her knees and leaves her wrists exposed. Her smock has black symbols on her shoulders. Her shoes are simple white slip-ons with dark soles.

Angie wears a white beaded bracelet on her left wrist, as well as another, darker one, possibly black, on her right ankle. She also wears a simple, beaded necklace with a sea shell in the middle of it.

## Personality

Angie is a very spiritual person, believing that Atua, the god of her island, is always at her side. She has a pious heart and likes praying, having a very strong faith in her god, and she is very willing to help and assist other people with spiritual matters.[4] She often searches for things to offer as blood sacrifices and somewhat creepily talks about her need for blood and asks other students to offer her some. She also has a habit of speaking on behalf of her god and strangely these words can sometimes turn out to be very truthful. As another eccentric habit, she freely uses her own original Japanese, like "Bye-yonara" or "strange miracle", which shows a little bit of her artistic side.[5] Similar to Ibuki Mioda, she also calls everyone by their first names in the Japanese version, which is considered eccentric since Japanese acquaintances normally refer to each other with their last names instead of their first names. However, in Angie's case, this seems to be because she's not a Japan-native.

Considered the quirkiest character in the series by her voice actress Minori Suzuki,[5] Angie is a positive, but quite strange person who does things her own way. She is notably energetic and cheerful, almost always having an excited and wide smile, even when everyone else is serious. Due to her strong faith in Atua, she is unusually calm and unfazed, to the point of appearing unnaturally cheerful and out of touch with reality. She isn't even afraid of death as she believes that Atua would welcome her in afterlife and for similar reasons tells the others not to worry about dying. In Chapter 2, she even mentions that Atua loves Monokuma, because he loves all of his creations. She even appears to cheer excitedly when she sees other students fighting, and when she loses during the Death Road of Despair, she is heard laughing and giggling cheerfully, contrasting the despairing and pained voices of the other characters. When everyone else gives up on the escape game in low spirits, she is just glad that nobody was seriously hurt thanks to Atua. She doesn't show any fear when being surrounded by massive amounts of insects either, as she claims she is used to seeing them in her home island. Using her god's instructions as guidance behind her words and actions, she never seems to hesitate. She is also quick to tell the other students that god will punish them and all their relatives if they disagree with her on religious or other matters, smiling passively aggressively the whole time. This, along with her liking for blood sacrifices, can make her come across terrifying at times.

Being the Ultimate Artist, Angie can skillfully work with drawings, sculptures and other things, but she is known to say that her god is the one who is really creating everything and she is simply lending her body, describing the experience as if she's being "possessed by her muse"."[6] She demands to be alone whenever she makes her art, but it's said that she indeed does appear as if she's possessed whenever she does. It's been implied that her art work can strongly affect other people's will and mind, to the point of resembling brainwashing.

Interestingly, Angie seems to be a logical person when it comes to murder. Even though she formed a bond with Himiko in Chapter 2, she immediately accused her of being Ryoma Hoshi's killer when there was evidence that showed Himiko was capable of being the killer. Angie stated that she needed to do so because she didn't want her classmates to die due to choosing the wrong culprit. In similar situations, she is seen eagerly accusing suspicious students without mercy, and she cheerfully encourages them to use counter arguments. This character trait of her contrasts with Tenko Chabashira, who always believed in and protected Himiko until the end.

Her very notable trait is the way she always puts herself before others. While she can mean well and fully believes in her religion, she can use it to manipulate others to do things for her, claiming it's what god wants and people get punished if they don't obey. She is used to getting what she wants this way back in her island and thus dislikes it when people do not listen to her. She sometimes tries to convert others to her religion, though she seems to give up if she notices it won't have any effect and only seems to act passive aggressive at most. However, she is an extremely skilled manipulator and is somehow able to deduce other people's weaknesses and exactly the kind of support each person needs. She then offers Atua to them, as she believes that he is the only true god there is and that his form changes according to the feelings of whoever sees him, which in her opinion explains the multiple gods people around the world believe in. For example, for Gonta it would be a "gentle grandma", for Himiko a "handsome guy", and during the bonus mode she even offers Atua to Mondo Owada, in the form of "a macho, reliable older brother". Whenever others accuse her of brainwashing, she claims that on the contrary she undoes the brainwashing of others by making them believe.

It should be noted that while she is very manipulative and selfish, Angie does not appear to be intentionally malicious, and she often genuinely wants to encourage and guide others through her words. She plans to make the academy environment "heaven on earth", so that people wouldn't have the will to escape and start the killing game. After finding out that Tenko betrayed her, she doesn't really mind and immediately forgives her, and simply encourages her to be better in the future. In her Free Time Events, it's confirmed that she is convinced she is an oracle who receives divine messages. Because of this, she has difficulties differentiating god's intentions from her own, which explains parts of her behavior. According to Shuichi's assumptions, her problem might be that she gets lonely very easily and is convinced that other people and god will do anything for her. After Shuichi gets angry with her during their free time, Angie is impressed by this because in her home island people never disobey her. As a result, Angie begun to realize her interest in Shuichi is her own and not because of god, and for the first time she has a chance to speak her own mind.

Due to the customs of her home island, Angie is also shown to have quite different views on sexuality. She has quite poor understanding of personal space and can even begin to undress other people in public if she is interested in them. For some reason, she tends to refer to sexual situations as "exercising" and "workouts".

## Talent

### Ultimate Artist

Angie's talent as the Ultimate Artist is a fabrication made by Team Danganronpa. Due to that fact, it is unclear whether Angie is a skilled artist in the past.

Angie is shown creating a detailed, wooden statue in her promotional work. She is also shown wearing a utility belt filled with carving tools which may imply carving is her main skill. Besides sculptures, she can work with drawings. She tends to give the credit to god, who in her opinion is the one who really creates everything.

Angie is capable of craving replica from wax as shown in Chapter 3 where she created Kaede, Ryoma, Rantaro, and Kirumi's perfect and extremely detail replica. Shuichi noted that Kaede's wax "size" has the same size as the original.

In her Free Time Events, it's heavily implied that her art work can strongly affect the viewer's mind, similar to Ryota Mitarai's brainwashing techniques. When Shuichi looks at one of her drawings, he loses consciousness almost instantly and Angie claims it's a common reaction. She then claims that only god's "chosen ones" can look at the drawing without fainting. In Chapters 2 and 3, she convinces some other students to join her "Religious Student Council", the process including painting a personal metaphorical picture of god for everyone, portrayed as the way they see him.
