**Yumeko Fuka** is a student of Hope's Peak Academy, and a participant of the Cruise Ship Killing Game featured in the Danganronpa RP Hub. Her titles are the **Ultimate Astronomer** [ lit. *Super High School Level Astronomer,* ] and the secret **Ultimate Kidnapper** [ lit. *Super High School Level Kidnapper.* ]

## Appearance

Yumeko Fuka looks like a very young girl, despite being a little much older. She has creamy pale skin and black hair that fades cyan and tied to a left-tail. She has a moon and stars tattoo on her right cheek. Her eyes are black and cyan. She wears a crescent moon hairclip with a cyan bow with white trim. She wears a black sailor uniform with cyan trim, with a scarf on her back and a large pale purple and blue bow with white glitter. She also wears black shorts and black stockings with cyan trim and purple and blue bows. She wears black shoes.

## Personality

Yumeko is a carefree and childish girl, the sort of happy and friendly girl you may meet anywhere. Even though she acts clumsy, a bit idiotic, or a little foolish sometimes, she's actually a very intelligent girl who studies a lot about the universe. Whenever someone acts mean to her, she just cries hysterically, sometimes unknown whether she's actually offended or she's shedding crocodile tears. She also tends to always use straws instead of drinking anything straight from the container because of her Water Allergy, so when she's been handed a drink, she's sure to ask for a straw.

Yumeko looks very innocent when you meet her for the first time, but those are not her true colors. Deep down, Yumeko is sadistic and cruel, but she is also filled with vengeance, as her motive for doing any kidnappings was the actions of her own parents. She can be manipulative as well to her victims, and can be unpredictable sometimes. Despite her evil personality, she does care deeply about her classmates and friends, constantly feeling lonely.

## Background

### Prior to the tragedy

Yumeko Fuka is born in May 12 2005. She is the only child of her parents who, at first, treated her well and gave her many amounts of love and care. Almost every weekend, the family of three goes out to play in water parks.

Things change when she turned 8. She had developed an allergy called Aqua Urticaria, meaning if she touches water or any liquid with her skin, that part of her skin produces itchy and painful rashes. Yumeko felt like an outcast among her classmates when she developed this.

Her parents didn't like this allergy, either. Because of it, they could not go to the water park anymore and they felt like an embarrassment to have Yumeko as their child for having such an allergy, and then sees her as a burden.

So a few weeks after she developed her allergy, her parents decided to get rid of her. They drove her to an orphanage, and simply left her there.

Yumeko immediately knew it was because of her allergy, her parents saw her as a burden. She decided to accept this life. However, the kids in the orphanage heard about her allergy, and then they severely bullied her and made fun of her.

A few years later, Yumeko turned 13 and learnt a lot about astronomy, she wanted to go out and study the stars in the sky, but the orphanage forbids her to going outdoors or to the backyard during nighttime.

One day, she was watching the news on TV in the orphanage's lobby, seeing some unknown murder cases that has been happening for the past month every night in a different state. Yumeko thought that this murderer, whoever it is, was amazing and intelligent and skilled, having not been caught for over a month after a series of their own murders.

After seeing those news, Yumeko idolized that murderer, even though she doesn't know their identity. She then decides to follow their example, in a way. She also considered this as a sort of revenge act against her parents for abandoning her, and also for the children who had bullied her.

She decides to move to a new house all by herself, her bills being paid by the orphanage.

Her first night of staying in a new home, she went out to study the stars on her own. She then found an unfamiliar, new star in the sky, and immediately took a picture of it and posted her find in the internet. People, especially astronomers and astrologists were amazed by her find, and so people started calling her the "Ultimate Astronomer", even though she isn't an official Ultimate student yet.

Every once in a while in nighttime, she would kidnap children below 8 years old, and ONLY children below 8 years old. This is a sign of her being abandoned by her parents at 8 years old. She has never been caught.

She also continued her education and attended middle school, where she had also been bullied. One day, she was being bullied by a male student during lunchtime, but one of her classmates defended her against him. Since this moment, Yumeko wanted to spend more time with this student. They introduced themselves to each other, and she learned his name is Shoichi Saito.

Yumeko spent amounts of time with Shoichi, regarding him as her best friend. Shoichi also considered her as his best friend, and the two grew close.

One day, during classes, Shoichi was not paying attention to the science class discussion and was instead passing notes to his friends. Upon realizing that there would be a quiz about this the next day, Yumeko offered to tutor him, especially since the topic was about astronomy. Upon recieving quiz results, Shoichi recieved a high score, while Yumeko recieved a perfect 100% score.

This put Shoichi somewhat in debt to Yumeko, and so ever once in a while, Yumeko would ask him small favors that then gradually increased to terrible ones, especially involving spending money to pay for her rent. Eventually, Yumeko even stopped saying "thank you".

Shoichi grew cautious of this, and recieved advice from his friend that he needs to end the friendship, as it is growing toxic. However, Yumeko begged and cried for him to not leave her, as he was her only friend. Shoichi, feeling pity, decided to give her another chance.

The next quiz came around, and Yumeko was tutoring Shoichi as usual. However, Shoichi failed his quiz, knowing that the advice Yumeko gave him was false. This made Shoichi go to her house to confront her about it. Shoichi decided once and for all to end the friendship.

Yumeko felt truly sad that her only friend is breaking their friendship. But Yumeko had her last resort: kidnap Shoichi.

Yumeko knocked Shoichi out and tied him to a chair in her basement, where all her previous victims were kept until eventually getting killed. However, Yumeko has no intention of killing him, but will only torture him.

Seven days after his torture, Yumeko learned that Shoichi now has Stockholm Syndrome, and is "in love" with Yumeko. Yumeko was happy about this, knowing that having an ally would give her a number of advantages. Since then, Yumeko allowed Shoichi to work alongside her for her kidnappings.

A few years later, her viral find, the new star, now named Arutimetto after her, reached Hope's Peak. And Hope's Peak Academy decided to scout her, officially giving her the title the of Ultimate Astronomer.

And because she's secretly kidnaps children without getting caught for three years straight, she called herself the Ultimate Kidnapper.

### Life at Hope's peak

Yumeko lived a somewhat peaceful life in Hope's Peak, though she still does her kidnappings in secret. She loved her classmates more than anyone, and is constantly in the presence of one of them in particular: Shoichi Saito, the Ultimate Aerialist.

### Tragedy

She was a survivor of the Biggest, Most Awful, Most Tragic Event in Human History, otherwise known as the Tragedy. To flee from the destruction of the world, she, Shoichi, and her classmates boarded a cruise ship.

### Killing game

Yumeko woke up in her room, and met with her classmates, along with Shoichi. Once it was announced that she and the other passengers are part of an insane Killing Game, she grew genuinely terrified. She intends to have Shoichi defend her if anyone threatened to harm her. At the same time, she continued Shoichi's torture privately in either his or her room.

### Her fate

Her life inside the cruise went on, until the fourth motive. Monokuma featured the "Ultimate Kidnapper Identity Motive", which contained blackmail against her, a video of her torturing Shoichi. She tried to ignore it at first, but then one day, Shoichi had informed her that Naoki Shio wanted to meet with him. Yumeko went cautious, and decided to sneak into their private conversation. When they meet up in the Locker Room of the pool, Yumeko discovered that Naoki had seen the video, and tried to kill Shoichi. Thinking fast, Yumeko quickly murdered Naoki, and convinced Shoichi to help cover up her crime.

Regardless, she was caught for her crime. At first, Shoichi tried defending her, but Yumeko then admitted it, having no other choice. She confessed that she is the Ultimate Kidnapper. Before being executed, despite being beaten up by Pat, she encouraged Shoichi to keep on living, even if she is no longer around. She was thereby executed by Monokuma, receiving the "Ultimate Torture" execution as her punishment.

### Parents

Her parents were her only family when she was born. The family of three used to be close, until Yumeko developed her water allergy that then lead to her parents abandoning her out of shame and embarrassment. Ever since then, Yumeko resented her parents.

**Friends**

### Childhood Friends

Yumeko had only met her friends once or twice during childhood before her abandonment. There are three of them: Lincoln Jackson Braun, Hikaru Kishimoto, and Shoichi Saito. These were the three people Yumeko was closely tied to, but unfortunately she was unable to find them ever since her abandonment.

### Shoichi Saito

Shoichi Saito was Yumeko's first and only friend during highschool, she was completely unaware this was her childhood friend. She grew incredibly close and attached to Shoichi, to the point that she had to resort to kidnapping him when he decided to break their friendship. Yumeko had also given him Stockholm Syndrome, to make him do her bidding with no consequence. Shoichi is Yumeko's only victim who is older than 8 years old.

**Other**

### Secret Idol

During her days in the orphanage, Yumeko saw a murderer in TV, a murderer who had never been caught after countless crimes. Yumeko grew to idolize this murderer, planting the idea of starting kidnappings in her mind.
