**Backstory**

Miu’s family was super poor. Her dream was to become an idol, so to do that she would hook up her classmates with older men. They would give her money in return, and help her with singing and performing. At one point they got tired with that and refused to help Miu, so Miu kind of sold her body to them.

Yui was one of the girls in Miu’s idol group Miu hooked up with an older man. Yui hated Miu for that, and informed everyone in her pop group about that. Miu was harassed and bullied by the other members.

**MENTION OF SA!!**

On top of that, Miu’s manager (Shuichi’s brother) would SA her. Miu had spent so much time getting to this place in her career that she wasn’t going to let that stop her. Everyone in her pop group knew about this but none of them cared, stating it was a taste of her own medicine.

Kaede and Miu went to the same middle school together, which was where Kaede’s jealousy for Miu’s talent began. Kaede went to extreme lengths to get Miu hurt on in trouble.

In one case, a fire broke out in her middle school, and Kaede pushed Miu into a closet and locked her in there. Luckily, Miu was found by a teacher and was unharmed.

**Personality**

Miu would literally do anything for her talent. Proven by her backstory and her acts in the killing game. It makes her a selfish person, only putting her talent above anything else.

Despite this, Miu did get along well with Kokichi and Kiibo. Even if she was the reason of Kiibo’s death, she didn’t even expect her plan to go wrong in the first place.

She was willing to try and cooperate with everyone after Kirumi and Kaito’s sacrifice including Kaede. Showing she really does care and does want to become a better person in general.

**Prologue**

In the prologue, we see Miu and Kaede together. They knew each from before the killing game. Miu disliked Kaede because Kaede was always calling out her shit.

When Isamu and Asami introduce this as a killing game, everyone including Miu doesn’t take this seriously, thinking it’s a prank Hopes Peak has put on. Yet they still remain cautious in case anyone actually took it seriously.

**Chapter 1**

Kokichi and Kiibo show Miu a picture of Kaede and tell Miu to rate her out of ten. Miu says that Kaede is a three. Miu rates herself a ten overall and says she doesn’t care what other people think and that confidence is key.

Miu, Kiibo and Kokichi are seen hanging out.

Soon later, Miu and Kaede are seen on the stage having almost like a trivia quiz against Tsumugi and Ryoma. Asami and Isamu ask what you wouldn’t want to see when you burgle a house, and Miu exclaims “naked grandma”. Ryoma then states he wouldn’t want to see that either.

Miu and Kokichi go to Kiibo’s dorm for a ‘sleepover’. Mainly because they are worried about the motive and didn’t want anything to happen to Kiibo.

After Angie got supposedly attacked, she blamed Kaede for it. Angie’s word was that she and Kaede got into an argument with Angie and tried to kill her. Which didn’t happen, since Kaede got Rantaro for her motive so she had no use to harm Angie. Despite this, everyone sided with Angie, apart from Rantaro and Miu. Rantaro believed it wasn’t Kaede since he felt like she wouldn’t do that for a motive video. Miu because even though Kaede and her disliked each other, Miu knew Kaede wouldn’t have the guts to kill someone.

**Chapter 2**

For the second motive where everyone has to do sports challenges or else their secrets will get revealed, Miu got paired with Kaede. They came 6th out of 7.

Miu was shocked at Kirumi’s secret, and doesn’t really like her anymore after she and the others found out she made her sister commit suicide.

Miu came running to tell everyone that Shuichi had supposedly attacked her. Everyone believed her apart from Kaede, Rantaro and Maki.

**Miu’s Plan**

( copy and pasted from this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7\_RvEYGnQE0&list=PLV\_fb5WgIgr94sLpxWtY8hUO1Es5jxuH2&index=63 )

During Chapter 1, Miu’s motive video showed her career was completely falling to pieces in the outside world. She spent so much time, getting to where she is, she went to extreme lengths to do so even. So, of course she wasn’t just going to let all that hard work go to waste.

When the motive was revealed, it gave Miu the idea she could kill someone and escape with both Kokichi and Kiibo. Course, she wasn’t willing to take that risk with the possibility of getting caught. So, when Kiibo’s secret was revealed, it gave her an idea. She saw how determined Kiibo was to get stronger.

Then one night after Kokichi and Kiibo finished their little training thing, Miu pulled Kiibo aside. This was the same day Miu had claimed of Shuichi supposedly “attacking her”. (Shuichi never tried to hurt her or anything, Miu lied about it, for her plan.) She asked Kiibo, if they could kill Shuichi. Miu said that shuichi threatened to like, kill her. At first Kiibo immediately rejected, but Miu basically kinda, manipulated him into agreeing. Saying things on how if they killed Saihara, Kiibo could prove their strength. Since they really wanted to get stronger, to prove their schoolmates wrong. Miu said if Kiibo killed someone, it would be one way to prove their strength. Because well, they’d be ‘protecting’ someone. Cause Miu told them that Shuichi was threatening to kill/hurt her. That was what really convinced them. And Kiibo obviously didn’t know it was a lie, so they agreed to kill Saihara.

So, Kiibo went up to Shuichi’s dorm. Leaving a note, asking him to come to the library. Signed from Rantaro. Obviously when Shuichi saw the note, he wasn’t stupid, he knew Rantaro’s handwriting was way different than what the paper had shown. So he didn’t go. But, Shuichi decided to go to Rantaro’s dorm, to try and talk to him straight up about the note. Miu saw this, and right then and there she decided to knock him unconscious. Right outside of Shuichi’s own dorm. Since she knew he wasnt going to go to the library. They did put up a bit of a fight, Miu had pushed Shuichi against the wall which knocked over the potted plant, and in the process she broke his wrist. But the thing was, Gonta had seen Miu.

Next, Miu basically dragged Shuichi into her dorm, and when Kiibo showed up, she decided to play the little innocent act of saying that Shuichi tried attacking Miu first so she acted in self defense again. Which, was obviously a lie- Kiibo like believed her. Miu knew like, they couldn’t wait to kill him because the second he gained consciousness he’d tell everyone everything. So, Miu told Kiibo, again, he’d be able to prove his strength and the three, Miu, Kokichi and Kiibo could get out all together if Kiibo killed Shuichi. So then she convinced like, Kiibo to grab a knife, and stab him to death while Shuichj was unconscious. Kiibo was the one who stabbed him, so he counts as the culprit. (For Shuichi’s case at least)

(They left the body in Miu’s room, because it didn’t really matter if they voted Miu as the culprit, because she isn’t. So Kiibo would be able to escape with Kokichi and Miu either way.)

Now Gonta’s case. Like mentioned previously, he saw Miu and Shuichi’s little fight. So, during the investigation he went up to Miu. And kinda.. confronted her for it. Now, Gonta really kinda believes things easily right, so Miu told him that she was going to straight up confess to it during the trial ( she wasn’t- ) and yeah Gonta believed her. So, Miu decided since he saw them, she thought he could’ve like told everyone during the trial, and it would’ve ruined everything. So, what she did was poison a drink, and gave it to him during the investigation. Gonta died during the trial because it’s when the poison finally got to him.

**Before Kiibo’s Execution**

Kaede says that Miu should get executed instead despite the ‘first come, first serve’ rule because Miu was the reason Kiibo killed in the first place. In fact, everyone agrees with Kaede, even Isamu, but Asami says that they need to follow that rule.

**After Kiibo’s Execution**

Kokichi snapped at Miu about the entire thing. Miu said she only did it as a way back to her career, but that wasn’t really a justification.

**Chapter 3**

Kaede finds a photo of her and Miu getting along. She decides not to tell Miu about it, one because she doesn’t want to spend her time on something that might be fake and two she doesn’t want to talk to Miu after the trial just happened.

Miu slightly regrets what happened with Kiibo. She never expected her plan to fail. She still is very desperate to get out so she can get back to her career. She hadn’t even thought about what might of happened if it went wrong, because she was so certain it would go smoothly.

Kokichi and Kaito found photos of their classmates all together. One of them was of Miu eating a chocolate bar with Tenko looking grumpily at her.

Kaede and Ryoma find two photos when investigating the new floor. One of them is a picture of the girl in File 05, but her face is all scribbled out. Kaede and Ryoma show the photo to everyone else, who did not recognize this girl, apart from Kaede and Miu. They both stated it looked like someone from their middle school, but they never died, especially not in such a gruesome way.

The second photo Kaede and Ryoma found was a picture of them all in a class together. Everyone except Maki was in the photo.

**Chapter 4**

Miu went to talk to Tsumugi in the infirmary, asking what the contents on her computer were which Tsumugi destroyed post trial. Tsumugi said she doesn’t know and that she never got to see. Miu doesn’t trust her, and believes she is hiding something.

Miu agrees with Angie to kill Maki, due to her being the mastermind and all. The only person who doesn’t agree with Angie to kill Maki is Kaito, since Kaito still considers Maki as a friend.

Everyone finds out Maki escaped, and quickly concluded Kaito released her. Miu slapped Kaito across the face, saying that he just ruined probably the only chance of escape because he was being delusional.

During the party, Miu can be seen looking at Rantaro and Kaede in disgust.

When Maki put out a bunch of food for them to eat, Miu was one of the ones who chose to eat it.

During the motive, Miu can be seen with her head in her hands, slowly going insane due to the sleep deprivation, thirst and hunger.

**Chapter 5**

After the fourth trial, Miu attempts to be nicer to everyone, including Kaede. Miu went up to Kaede and said that they should leave all the beef they had behind and try to cooperate. Kaede declines, thinking Miu is planning something.

Miu was trying to improve herself as a person. With Korekiyo and Kirumi’s sacrifices, she realized she needs to cooperate with Kaede in order to get out.

Miu and everyone else excluding Maki went to Angie’s dorm to try and get the connection to the outside world working. Unfortunately, they couldn’t start it up again.

After the motive was revealed, Miu knew that Kaede was going to try something. Miu knew about Kaede’s obsession with her talent, and she just needs Kaede to come to her senses before she ends up doing something. Miu just doesn’t know how. If Miu does attempt to tell Kaede about how hard it is for her to be an idol, she doubted Kaede would care at all.

Miu comes up with a plan, and tells Rantaro about Kaede most likely plotting to kill her. Miu says that if Rantaro avoids Kaede then Kaede may snap to her senses. Rantaro, despite being a but hesitant, agrees.

When Miu found the broken up picture of her and Kaede from Chapter 3, she went up to Kaede about it. Miu said that if this was from before their “memories were erased”, and they managed to get along then too, they can now. Kaede was surprisingly cooperative and calm, apologizing for obsessing over Miu’s talent and such even.

**Miu’s Passing**

(copy and pasted from the description of this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d6EP96sHzXs&list=PLV\_fb5WgIgr94sLpxWtY8hUO1Es5jxuH2&index=182)

Kaede never really let go of her obsession with Miu’s talent, nor her grudge against Miu. She only led Miu to believe that because AT FIRST she only wanted Rantaro to stop avoiding her. When that didn’t work and he continued to avoid her, it furthered her grudge against Miu, to the point all she wanted at least was to kill her.

Since Kaede tricked Miu into thinking they were getting along, she asked her if she wanted to switch outfits. Despite being a bit hesitant, Miu agreed. After all, in her mind she believed Kaede and that she was trying to change. Then it’s when suspicions started to rise. Kaede asked Miu if she wanted to straight up change her whole appearance to look like Kaede, and Kaede would change hers to look like Miu. When Miu asked why, Kaede said it’s only cause she thought it’d be fun to do so. And she said she thought, well that Miu looked really pretty and she was envious of her looks. So just this once she wanted to try and switch. This kinda flattered Miu, so she very hesitantly agreed. Kaede even convinced Miu to do her makeup so she looks exactly like Kaede, she also did her makeup to make her look like Miu. They even used temporarily dyed hair to make sure the hair was accurate. Once that was done, it was almost unrecognizable that miu was dressed as Kaede and Kaede was dressed as Miu. With that, Kaede said to Miu it’d be fun if they went around the school, confusing everyone on whatever is happening. She didn’t really let Miu have much of a say in this, as she basically dragged Iruma up to the rooftop first. (By this point no one besides Miu and Kaede knew they switched, and no one had heard their voices either so no one else knew.)

Upon arrival at the rooftop, Miu asked what the hell Kaede was doing cause all of this seemed incredibly suspicious. Kaede didn’t answer, and instead immediately pushed Miu off the roof. Miu caught onto the rooftop floor and was basically dangling from the edge. Kaede stood there watching Miu struggle to get up back on the roof. Iruma asked why Kaede would do something as stupid as this, and told her to help her back up cause if she died there’s no way Kaede would get past the trial. Which would also result in Kaede’s death. Kaede refused, and went on to tell Miu how she never actually let go of her grudge. As a matter of fact she said because of Miu, Rantaro started avoiding her and it made her hate Iruma even more. Hearing this Miu apologized, like it was a genuine apology. Still dangling from the edge she apologized of how stupid she was with her plan to get them on good terms. She went on to say that she should’ve been more careful when constructing a plan like that. Her words of apology didn’t mean anything to Kaede. She said her being sorry wouldn’t bring Rantaro to stop avoiding her, and she thought Miu was only saying this to try to get back up on the roof with Kaede’s help. Eventually Miu snapped and said that Kaede was delusional and doesn’t understand how hard idol life is. (Cause you know of Miu’s backstory and everything.) This REALLY annoyed Kaede as she thought Miu was talking nonsense. So, she used her foot to kick off Miu dangling from the edge. Which led to Miu’s death.
