## Appearance

Roteki is a pale young teenager, with dyed blonde hair and darkish cerulean blue eyes. Their signature hairstyle being a loosely tied up braid. She wears a somewhat light red eyeliner.

Their outfit consists of a white blouse, a blue wool vest and a short dark blue blazer, a small light blue ribbon and white gloves. They wear a skort and white long socks.

When it comes to accessories they keep it simple with a matching dewdrop hair clip and a gold ring earring.

Since they are a participant of the Death Game, they wear the collar device around their neck.

## Personality

Roteki is a quiet individual who, shown throughout the game, procrastinates a lot. She is dubious about a lot of things but keeps it to herself, she seems to lack concentration when it comes to exploring with strangers or another person.

She's shown to be perceptive, but also gives up easily if they find themselves uninterested or out of sorts. Roteki acts unaffected by her surroundings, only paying attention to her notes. They're reluctant to converse with most participants unless they find interest in them or have the need to talk to them.

Roteki lacks a sense of identity, reflecting herself from other people. She occasionally dissociates herself, that sometimes getting in the way of the fact she can also be perceptive. They carry around a notebook everywhere they go, taking notes of each detail that they deem interesting enough about someone.

## History

### Background

Roteki is a 16-year-old teenager who ‘lives’ with her adoptive mother and brother. They are Japanese but eventually got adopted by her current mother (Who is totally not Chinese cause i ran out of options for their last name) She is very curious about the world itself, socially and all. Though she herself lacks social skills due to not interacting with many people apart from her familiars, and a small number of acquaintances.

### The Death Game

They are one who barely interacts with other participants, procrastinating a lot, while also surprisingly managing to figure out most of the stuff by themselves in the time they have left.

At some point, just as desperate to leave as anyone could be, they eventually see themselves joining everyone more to cooperate on how to escape.

However, they then suddenly got the Sacrifice. They didn't have the heart to give it to someone else, knowing how cruel that is, but they didn't want to die either. They first tried to deceive others into voting for them as they learnt how to while the game progressed seeing how others acted, but in the end gave up and revealed themselves. Not having the words for an apology, since most of their personality shown in a Main Game is just a complete replica of another person's personality.

## Relationships

### Sara Chidouin

At first Roteki just watched Sara from afar, but later on proceeded to converse with her seeing how simple it could be for her to interact with Sara, though when her percentage is shown, they try to distance themselves just a bit for caution.

Noticing her great skills with putting everyone in order and calming them down, they thought it was worth to be written down, maybe one day it'll be useful, right?

### Shin Tsukimi

She didn't like how much he smiled in a somewhat eerie way. It made Roteki a bit suspicious, but they decided to not think much about him. Then after the main game, that's when she would take interest in him, but also stayed away from him because the group said so.

### Shin Tsukimi (Logic route)

Roteki had gotten enough notes from him and decided to not talk to him in the state he was in after the second main game. The only thing is that the way he passed through the main games surviving tempted them to maybe, just maybe try to e̶x̶p̶e̶r̶i̶e̶n̶c̶e̶ understand his way to survive.

### Kanna Kizuchi

One of the few people they decided to talk to, seeing her at first in such a vulnerable state. She tries her best to get along with Kanna. Roteki has never really felt any kind of empathy towards anyone, but still tries to do so when it comes to Kanna. They talk less after the first main game.

### Ryōichi Ikehara

Their first impression about him was, how to say, unexpected. They didn't expect that kind of attitude from someone of his age, not that it bothered her anyways. Though this kind of personality that Ryō had, surely interested Roteki and made notes. They also tried conversing with him, completely unsuccessful attempts. Most of the conversation they had with him was just him... not taking things seriously.

*"I don’t think he’s that annoying as others claim. Interest comes weirdly you know? Just how he does not take his situation that seriously. Also, I do feel like he's always glancing at my notebook..." -Roteki about Ryōichi Ikehara*

### Miran Sekino

How Miran acted so cheerful and happy at first then the sudden pessimistic comments being said by him was surprising but yet helped them understand a bit of how they could be viewing life. But if he came to try and talk to her she would just awkwardly nod or give a very short answer if she's caught off guard and doesn't get time to think. If they do, the next thing Roteki does is just take the personality of someone easier to talk to, but still gets stuck sometimes.

*"They're interesting, though their pessimistic side will take me a while to get too. Overall, they're not bad. But i really need to improve with keeping up with a conversation sometimes." -Roteki about Miran Sekino*

### Yūrei Fujiwara

When they both met, they barely interacted, it was just introductions and done. But when they get the chance, they just write notes. The silence could be considered dull for some people, she could only hope Yūrei didn't, since a fair amount of people already avoided them for their note taking 'hobby'.

*"She definitely has my respect, her silence makes it a bit hard to write about her, it isn't a big deal of course! I can manage." -Roteki about Yūrei Fujiwara*

### Taiyō Hoshiko

One of the people who Roteki has not taken a single note about their personality, not because they aren’t interested in him they just don’t feel like they’ll need to write him down. She tried to converse with him but just got a bunch of random comments from him, after that they didn't have any other interaction. Were 13 year olds always this confusing?

*"How do I explain that I have never been so confused with an introduction? Though he's got a unique personality, I pity him sometimes." -Roteki about Taiyō Hoshiko*

### Hana Ito

Roteki was fairly surprised at the 13-year-old's ability, their personality wasn't a surprise though, it's not bad to be proud, right? They had some interactions with her, most of them being Hana talking though, and almost all of them consisted of her asking for what's currently happening.

*"It's surprising how she knows that much gossip, I sometimes feel too afraid to even ask! But I don't think I'll need to write that down. Anyhow, they are a strong individual indeed." -Roteki about Hana Ito*

### Sumire Kandou

Just hearing the fact she was a doctor was a great start of interest for Roteki, they acted mature and it wasn't a surprise knowing their age. Though they are not the best when it comes to adults and mainly avoids them, so a conversation between these two might only happen when necessary.

*“I feel like she can be dependable in this situation, it’s good to know that we have someone like that with us. ...I'm not sure if she’ll be the type of person I would try to interact with though.." -Roteki about Sumire Kandou*

### Euphemia Beckwith

Her clothing came off a bit of a surprise for them at first, but Roteki quite admired it at the same time. The job of a mortician didn’t surprise them much, as they were more interested in understanding her views with death. Doesn’t really avoid her but does a bit because they’re a bit awkward with adults.

*“I think the job of a mortician is interesting, I mean, everyone has their own different concepts of death! And I'm interested in hearing them. Overall, I think she’s not bad, though I wouldn't really willyingly interact with her.” -Roteki about Euphemia Beckwith*

### Ali Ayumi

Cheerful personalities aren’t much of Roteki’s thing, but they aren’t exactly bothered by it. They were a bit dumbfounded when they were given that gold star but quickly brushed it off and decided not to ask, thinking she might make it awkward between them.

*“I don’t normally get along with cheerful people, I make conversations very awkward so... But of course! I still think she’s a very interesting and joyful individual.” -Roteki about Ali Ayumi*

### Charles Edward III

Roteki absolutely did not make a good first impression. As they were... note taking about people again, she was easily caught by him, making them awkwardly needing to explain they weren’t writing anything bad. After that she avoided him for the sake of her pride.

*“Not bad. I may or may not have ruined my first impression he could’ve had about me, but there is nothing I can do now I suppose.” -Roteki about Charles Edward III*

### Ayane Furukawa

A bit too loud for them but they put up with it. They were pretty good at sports as she described, they weren't impressed. They rarely indulge in a conversation with her though, she doesn’t reply much herself.

*“She looks like she’s great with sports, that’s good. She’s a bit clumsy though... I don’t normally approach her but she’s okay, nothing against her.” -Roteki about Ayane Furukawa*

### Matri Yoshka

They were a bit startled by their height but felt no bother to question it. Roteki doesn’t categorize them as bad or good, but neutral. They have a page on their notebook dedicated to them when they were claimed to be 2 people.

*“I think they’re quite neutral in my eyes, they would be my perfect definition of neutral for me if not so.” -Roteki about Matri Yoshka*

### Xingwu Ming

They were more than shocked, actually that’s an understatement to some degree, just hearing that he was a Floor Master disappointed them. They feel more numb at the sight of him and his role within the situation they're in. Their impersonation skills drop while near him.

*“...He’s not bad. Well, I don't have enough of a reason to say that. Though I understand why some would hate his... ‘egoistic’ personality.” -Roteki about Xingwu Ming*

### Kina Fukushima

Was a bit surprised hearing her just insult each one of the participants but they understood why pretty well after. Though she can be a bit skeptical in Roteki’s eyes sometimes, they don’t think she’s bad.

*“I think she did an attempt to deceive us, I mean, she tried. She seems pretty nice though. I can't say much as I haven't spoken to her a lot either.” -Roteki about Kina Fukushima*

### Rosé Katou

Roteki was a bit surprised seeing a Floor Master being a teen, just one year younger than them. Everytime she mentions her, she talks about her as if she was younger even though she’s just one year younger. Of course, they seemed like someone of kind nature but it felt weird knowing they’re a Floor Master.

*“It’s conflicting to talk about her, but if my intuition wasn’t wrong I'm sure she’s not bad. But I can't seem to find myself to understand her attempts at acting. No offense but they really need to be improved.” -Roteki about Rosé Katou*

### Lei Morin

She didn’t really like the fact he had such a short temper, it made it hard for everyone to just ask him a simple question. They didn’t really approach him much yet managed to write a page.

*“He’s... just I don't know. It’s a waste if I didn’t write about someone like him, it’s worth to write. His way to ‘mocks’ someone when he’s mad... I just don’t really have much of a negative or positive opinion, but he’s not neutral either.” -Roteki about Lei Morin*

### Kaito Hayashi

They’re surprised themselves that they don’t want to talk to him or write, they wrote about worse people in the past yet the fact he’s just an egoistic vlogger is just, doesn’t feel worth to be written. They don’t talk much to him, just one introduction and nothing else.

*“Just the fact he’s an egoistic vlogger puts me off, there’s a lot of those on the internet and such, what’s so interesting about it that I have to write it down...?” -Roteki about Kaito Hayashi*
