**Ayumi Shinozaki** is a main character in the *Corpse Party* series. *Corpse Party* is a series about a school haunted by vengeful spirits with a raising kill count as the survivors try to escape before they become another casualty.

Ayumi is a *route yandere*, meaning her yandere personality is only shown depending on the media or various routes in game.

## Bio

*The cheery class rep of 2-9 at Kisaragi Academy, Ayumi takes her job and friendships seriously but her obsession with the occult and love of scaring others is soon turned against her.*

### Appearance

Ayumi has a light complexion with average frame. Her black-blue eyes match her shoulder-length hair, which is normally worn in low pigtails with thin forelocks and bangs mostly brushed to one side.

She is normally depicted in her yellow and blue uniform.

### Personality

The wise and kind-hearted Class Representative often sought out by others for advice or to chat because she is open-minded and personable. She really wants to see people do well and doesn't like the idea of someone being harassed because of how others view them, and she appears to be sympathetic. She loves teasing others though; and listening to people scream and panic when she tells them scary stories.

However, she is also prideful and a bit selfish, causing her to make poor decisions and prioritize her honor over the sensible option. While she has a cool temperament and remains calm in most situations, she won't hesitate to argue. Deep down Ayumi suffers from low self-esteem and is entirely aware of how weak her true self is. She has built up her outer self to cover up her cowardly personality that appears whenever she begins to get stressed out.

## Background

### Corpse Party

Everyone stays behind one school day to finish their preparations for the upcoming festival, but with one of their well-liked classmates moving that day everyone had been in a somber mood. In hopes of making everyone feel better, Ayumi suggested they perform the charm she learned online that would always keep them together; unaware of the evil she would be unleashing upon the school as a result.

### Blood Drive & Dead Patient

During the events of *Blood Drive* she is shown suffering heavily for everything she has been put through in the various games up to this point. But pulling herself together, she is shown to overcome her guilt and grief to become master of *The Book of Shadows*.

By *Dead Patient* she is currently in a coma after the events of the past game. Her sacrifice has led everyone to forget her existence, with the exception of Yoshiki, who chose to join her and waits by her side.

## Victims

Ayumi has not attacked or killed many on her own volition, but through possession by *the darkening* or other means.

Ayumi Shinozaki/Victims

## Relationships

**Satoshi Mochida** - Because of him being so cowardly, he is her favorite target. She also has a big crush on him because of his kindness, and is completely devoted to his decisions and opinions, which causes dependency towards him after everything goes wrong. They are unknowingly foils for one-another; with Satoshi being a coward but brave in the face of danger, while she acts composed and brave until put into danger.

**Naomi Nakashima** - Genuinely they get along well and seem to have an easygoing friendship, usually talking with each other during free time. They share a few traits, including their feelings for Satoshi, which causes them difficulty during some situations and deep feelings of envy should he prioritize one over the other.

**Yuki Kanno** - One of the children victims from the *Heavenly Host* incident. Ayumi feels empathy for her and the other children despite knowing of the threat they are, and it's this that allows them to open up to her as one of the only people they trust.

**Yui Shishido -** Teacher of class 2-9, Ayumi has a close relationship with her and admires her for being a mature and kind adult. Yui supports Ayumi's feelings but she also believes that due to her influences she would also be good with Yoshiki. In most media, she sacrifices herself to protect Ayumi.

**Naho Saenoki -** Ayumi used to look up to Naho until *Blood Covered* when she discovered that she purposely posted the modified "*Sachiko Ever After*" charm, cursing everyone within the school once performed by the class. Now she strongly resents her and the senseless pain and suffering caused as a result.

**Hinoe Shinozaki** - Her beloved older sister she heavily admires. Her death protecting her left her severely traumatized.

**Yoshiki** - Everyone judged Yoshiki for his behavior and appearance but Ayumi showed him sympathy and true kindness, encouraging him not to quit school and telling off the Teacher harassing him. This unknowingly caused him to gain a crush on her, although she is unaware. They often bicker and she's pretty rude towards him, but they have become each others *"emotionalcrutch"* and their sanity depends on the other staying out of harms way. As the series goes on, they grow closer and she starts showing him more respect, so he chooses to remain by her side.

**Sachiko** - She was sought out by her *good half* in the first game, while her *bad half* wanted to make her suffer. Despite what she caused, she eventually becomes an ally to Ayumi, choosing to sacrifice herself to help.

## Weapons

Ayumi has noticeably been seen with scissors, but she has also used various tools and objects, such as burning equipment and a pen.

## Death

As a horror series with a dark premise, Ayumi can die in several ways throughout each game due to poor decision making. These range from simple things like giving into despair or the school building harming her or traps, to things like stabbings, dismemberment, drowning/choking, fatal wounds, and being eaten.
