Mikan Tsumiki

## Character Backstory

**Warning:** The following contains spoilers for Danganronpa 2: Goodbye Despair.

Aside from providing the autopsy reports for most of the murder victims in Danganronpa 2: Goodbye Despair, Mikan Tsumiki is known for having a habit of being caught in awkward and compromising positions on accident. She takes it upon herself to take care of Fuyuhiko Kuzuryu after his injury during Peko Pekoyama's execution and the victims of the Despair Disease. Under these circumstances, however, she had the opportunity to kill not just 1 but 2 other people during the Killing School Trip: Ibuki Mioda and Hiyoko Saionji. . She's eventually found guilty and discloses just enough to help the class understand her motivations without revealing the other details they really wanted to know.

## Character Card Abilities

### Primary Active: **Nurse, Checkup**

* Gives a target the option to be roleblocked and protected from direct elimination.
* Mikan unknowingly gains self-protection if he/she declines.
* Gain an undetectable free action that also applies indirect elimination protection. (The free action cannot be a talk/trade.)
	+ The effects and action land on either Mikan or the Nurse target that did not receive nurse protection.
* Mikan can't Nurse the same target twice in a row or target herself.

### Secondary Passive: **Autopsy**

* Each trial, Mikan may ask the game master to be secretly given the Monokuma File results for free.

## Character Card Notes

### Primary Notes:

* Mikan is not brought out when a player is asked if he/she wants to be Nursed or not.
* Mikan does not learn if a player accepts the Nurse.
* Mikan is not told who her free action targeted.
* Mikan's indirect eliminations bypass her own indirect elimination protection.
* You successfully protecting another player on night 1 or 2 causes a protection trial, but it will not trigger if it's a self-protection.

## Strategy

Mikan's main purpose is to protect willing players from direct (and potentially indirect) elimination. Mikan may also receive the benefit of knowing the Monokuma File results for each trial regardless of if the rest of the class chooses to get it or not, but it's up to her to decide how much information to provide publicly if the rest of the class does *not* receive the Monokuma File. Mikan also gets a free action when she uses Nurse, but whether that targets her or her Nurse target depends on if her target accepts the offer and if the "coin flip" causes that action to target Mikon or her Nurse target after that. More often than not, Mikan can expect that free action to target herself, if she decides to use it.

If she's on the side of hope, Mikan should understand that some players would rather not be roleblocked even if it protects him/her from direct elimination. It may be necessary to discuss with players during the daytime who would even *want* to be targeted by Nurse before she decides to perform Nurse as a night action. If Mikan is the puppet master/blackened, however, the function of Nurse may be reversed; Mikan on the side of despair may be attempting to use Nurse to roleblock choice characters in a game- or otherwise provide an alibi for herself. Even if one is protected from indirect elimination from Nurse, Mikan can override this protection if she, herself, is performing an indirect elimination as an action. Not to mention a blackened Mikan being the only one known to have the results of a Monokuma File can change *everything*.
