## History

### Before Killing Game

She became famous after one of her poems was stolen and shared online. Sometime after this she received the title, Ultimate Poet.

### Killing Game

#### Prologue

During the prologue, Nico introduces herself to Ayumu Fujimori (Ultimate Unlucky Student) and Seishi Yodogawa (Ultimate Mystery Novelist).

#### Chapter 1: Thicker Than Water

One night during Chapter 1, Maiko Kagura (Ultimate Dancer) meets up with Nico and tells her how she was the one to receive Monodora's motive weapon. Nico, fearful that she was gonna kill her, fatally harms Maiko with said weapon. Immediately regretting what she had done, Nico apologizes to her now wounded friend. Before dying, Maiko tells Nico to make it out of the school alive. Carrying out her friends dying words, Nico tried her best to avoid execution and covers up the crime scene the best that she could.

Later on Maiko's body is found and a Class Trial is held to find her killer. Near the end of the trial, Ayumu reveals that it was Nico who had killed her that night. She regretted doing so and felt guilty for her friend's death. In an attempt to cheer her up, Misuzu asks Kasumi to channel Maiko's soul, bringing her back to life temporarily. Nico reunites with her friend and then hugs her with some of their fellow classmates before Maiko departed back into the afterlife. Afterwards Nico was executed by Monodora.

#### Chapter 2: Beneath the Surface lies a Deadly Sin

One night, Nico (and Maiko) appeared in Ayumu's dream, blaming him for their deaths.

Kasumi makes a shrine for both Nico and Maiko. One of the objects she used for said shrine was a spare bow that had come from Nico's now-abandoned dorm. Because this had upset Saiji, Misuzu ordered Kasumi to take the shrine down.

Kasumi mentions the shrine she had made for Nico and how mad she was at Misuzu for not liking it.

## Execution

☀*At Twilight*

﻿Monodora is reading a poem while Nico is running in a forest, with fire erupting behind her. After a short while, she stops running, with the fire getting quieter and a growl being heard. She starts running again towards a house in the distance. With her getting closer to the house, the sound of the growl gets closer and closer. When she opens the door, fire emerges, burning her alive.

## Relationships

### Maiko Kagura

Maiko was Nico's closet friend. One night, after she had received the motive weapon from Monodora, she had asked Nico to discuss it with her (due to her trusting Nico the most out of the other students). Nico thought Maiko was planning to betray her so she took hold of the weapon and struck Maiko with it.

In the original audia drama, Nico immediately regretted doing so and had even offered to find medical supplies to help her now dying friend, but Maiko knew that she wasn't going to make it. Before dying, Maiko tells Nico to make it out of the school alive. Nico honored her friend's dying words and did her best to avoid execution.

In the revised version of Chapter 1, Nico killed Maiko after fighting with her by squirting the acid down her throat after whaling on her with a bat. She truly believed Maiko was planning to kill her, especially when Maiko attempted to fight back when Nico attacked her to start with. Even after Kasumi channels Maiko's spirit, Nico still believed that Maiko planned to kill her.

### Ayumu Fujimori

Nico appears to be on good terms with Ayumu, but still fought with him during the first trial.

## Trivia

* Her bandages are not a result from injury, but rather something she considers a fashion statement against the world.
