— Hanako introducing herself

**Hanako "Nako-Naka" Nakamura (花子 中村)** is a participant of The Konaka Murders. The killing game is not tied to a real Danganronpa game, however, it is featured on Quotev (@chaoshearts) and therefore, hosted online. Her title is the Ultimate Streamer.

## History

### Early Life

During her childhood, Hanako and her family lived in Manchester, England. When she was four years old, her father, Dean, was fired from his job for neglectful hours. Though he promised to find a new job, he remained unemployed for the years to come, staying at home and sleazing about while her mother, Suki, was forced to work two jobs to support the family.

(***TW for abuse from family member***)

When Hanako was seven, Suki had had enough. The love in their marriage was long gone, and she was tired of having to support Dean when he offered no help. So Suki proposed a divorce, but Dean didn't want to be by himself yet. He tried to trick Hanako into begging her mother to get them to stay together, but Hanako was beginning to hate her father just as much as her mother did. However, Dean was not having it, and beat Hanako into submission. Dean continued to take out his anger and frustrations on Hanako for the next four years, scaring her away from speaking up and continuing to beg her mother to forget about divorcing Dean. Finally, at the age of eleven, Hanako spoke out against her father to her mother. That month, the divorce was finalized, and Suki won full custody over Hanako, returning both of their surnames to Suki's maiden name, Nakamura.

### Primary Events

After the divorce, Suki and Hanako resided back in her mother's hometown in Okinawa, Japan. Suki had taught Hanako a small amount of Japanese when they lived in Manchester, but quickly began home-schooling Hanako, and teaching her fluent Japanese.

When Hanako was thirteen, just in time to join Junior High, she enrolled in a local school. Quickly gaining popularity, Hanako found many friends within her classes. Suki and Hanako continued to live happily in Okinawa, and once Hanako graduated to High School, she took an interest in becoming an online streamer.

Hanako has not spoken to her father since she was eleven, and never wanted to again. She never forgave her father for what he had done, and hates everything about him. Neither Suki nor Hanako bring up Dean, and when people ask, Suki simply says she's a single mother.

## Talent

During her first year in High School, Hanako began a streaming profile underneath the tag 'Nako-Naka'. Originally, she focused on gaming content, playing the most popular games at the time, as well as horror games. Immediately, she began to gain traction, and had several reoccurring popular streamer friends guest on her streams-- which brought her even more traction. Still, it wasn't enough for Hanako, she wanted to become the *most* popular.

Hanako began to post more than just gaming streams, posting content that included interacting with fans, trying popular 'challenges', mukbangs, makeup tutorials, and anything else that she believed would bring in more views. Even as her numbers began to rise, she wasn't satisfied with her fanbase.

After a year of content, and several business friends, Hanako devised a plan to gain even more traction. She created a devious story full of controversial drama, accusing some of her friends of serious topics, like racism and homophobia. Forging evidence and shedding tears live caused people to believe her in lieu of her 'friends' and Hanako happily rose to the top.

## Before the Killing Game

Before the Killing Game, Hanako was happily living her life normally. She was well favored by students and teachers alike for her fame, and continued to rake in a good profit from her streams. While she originally became a streamer for the much wanted attention, the money was a nice bonus, and allowed Suki and Hanako to live comfortably, though her mother still works.

Now that Hanako has a taste for fame, she doesn't want to let it go. Anyone that she sees as a threat to her position as the top streamer is carefully watched on. In her free time, she researches potential threats and business partners. Though it seems like she doesn't put much work into streaming other than the actual streams, she doesn't trust anyone enough to help her, so everything behind the scenes is done by her as well.

## Appearance

Hanako is a tall, somewhat lanky girl with vitiligo. The vitiligo markings are most dominant on her face and arms, but stretch across her entire body. The markings are a pale light skin, while her actual skin is tan. Her hair is split dyed a pastel pink and purple, and is usually in her iconic and recognizable twin swirling buns, along with her spiked hair and fly away bangs.

Her eyes are a dark purple, matching her long eyelashes, dark purple lipstick, and giving a contrast to her light blue eyeshadow and nail polish. Her outfit seems to be inspired by 2000s alternative fashion. Hanako wears a purple top with checkerboard sleeves and (possibly) a diamond cleavage window.

She wears a steel blue belt that tilts downward onto her right hip, and a purplish-gray skirt above her knees. Hanako might have wide hips as well, or that could be attributed to the PASWG art style she's commonly drawn in. Her legs are exposed, showing more vitiligo. She wears dark purple eyelet socks and purple shoes with a slight heel.

Occasionally Hanako will be given a slight fanged tooth, or her lipstick will be forgotten in art.
