**Chiaki Nanami** (七海 千秋), is a student of Hope's Peak Academy's Class 77-B, and a character featured in Danganronpa 3: The End of Hope's Peak High School - Despair Arc. Her title is the **Ultimate Gamer** (超高校級の「ゲーマー」).

## Appearance

Chiaki has short, light pink hair which is slightly curled. She wears a white clip, in the shape of the spaceship from Galaga, on the left side of her bangs and has pale pink eyes, much like her AI counterpart.

Chiaki wears the uniform of Hope's Peak, on top of a cream colored hoodie, and a white shirt with a red ribbon tied to its collar. Her leg-wear consists of a pair of black thigh high socks and white loafers. In Despair Arc - Episode 06, Chiaki dons her AI counterpart's green hoodie instead of her usual cream colored one.

## Personality

Chiaki is a calm and quiet individual. She seems, at first, to be a little asocial, but eventually opens up, and becomes a lot more talkative when discussing games. She is quite analytical and enjoys learning new things, leading her to ask questions often. Chiaki seems to not be fully aware of her surroundings while playing video games, as seen when she bumped into Hajime Hinata, and usually puts so much focus on them, that she almost never takes her eyes off of the screen. Even the classroom being destroyed around her didn't warrant her attention when she was playing.

Chiaki doesn't think much of her talent. In fact, she seems to dislike it, believing that her love for gaming will not help her gain any friends. When her teacher Chisa Yukizome tells her that she can make friends by playing her games with them, Chiaki opens up more to those around her and starts taking part in group activities. Chiaki is even chosen her class's representative after helping her classmates bond, though she appears quite hesitant about it at first and only seems to take the role because everyone would be so happy about it. She learns to care for all her classmates despite their own faults, and can be very protective of them. According to her classmates, Chiaki is a very industrious and reliable person, as she plans several group activities daily (including Chisa's return party), and even convinces Fuyuhiko Kuzuryu to join them. Even self-deprecating Nagito Komaeda understands that Chiaki would always invite him even if no one else would. However, Chiaki doesn't think that highly of herself, claiming that she likes to help her classmates simply because she likes them all.

Many of Chiaki's beliefs have actually been influenced by her teacher, Chisa. Chiaki comes to understand Chisa's belief that talent is not all there is to life and that doing more important things, such as creating memories with others, creates hope. Chiaki often shares these thoughts with Hajime in the hopes of building up his self-confidence. She is very optimistic and idealistic, sometimes to the point of naivete; even after he is gone for a year she still believes Hajime will someday return, as she is shown still waiting for him at their meeting spots. She also genuinely feels that with all her classmates working together, they can rescue Chisa, despite having seen the poor odds they faced.

Chiaki has some notable differences with her AI counterpart, such as her speech being more natural sounding and her appearing much less sleepy. Being a human, she has a wider emotional range, being much more visibly shocked and up crying desperately in immense pain during her last moments, in stark contrast to her AI self who appeared notably calm and unfazed during her execution albeit having a few expressions of distress.

## Talents & Abilities

### Ultimate Gamer

As the Ultimate Gamer, Chiaki is exceptional with all genres of gaming, proving to be almost unbeatable. This is shown multiple times, such as when she easily beats Hajime multiple times in a game, as well as when she beats Ibuki Mioda, Hiyoko Saionji, and Chisa in a racing game. In addition, when playing her favorite game, Gala Omega, her high score is revealed to be 999900, which seems to be the highest score one can get in the game. Chiaki knows everything about every single existing game, and is initially almost always seen playing a game, usually Gala Omega, on her Nantendo Game Girl Advance. She admits to Hajime that she has developed a love for games themselves, and doesn’t mind if she kept losing at them because of it.
