Miaya Gekkogahara

**Miaya Gekkogahara** (月光ヶ原 美彩 *Gekkōgahara Miaya*) is a character featured in Danganronpa 3: The End of Hope's Peak High School. Her title during her time at Hope's Peak Academy was the **Ultimate Therapist** (超高校級の「セラピスト」*chō kōkō kyū no “serapisuto”* lit. *Super High School Level Therapist*) where she also helped develop the Neo World Program alongside Chihiro Fujisaki and Yasuke Matsuda.

She is a member of the Future Foundation, and the leader of the 7th Division. Her responsibility as the leader is to oversee cyber security, as well as to research new ways to combat Ultimate Despair. She, along with the other Future Foundation heads, is forced to participate in the Final Killing Game.

## Appearance

Miaya is a short woman with blue hair, held by a light gray headband. She has blue eyes and long eyelashes. She wears a gray headphone and a long, dark red scarf which hides the lower part of her face. She wears a pale brown jacket, a black vest, a white dress shirt, and a black skirt. She also wears long black socks and white slippers. Her facial expressions never changed and her eyes lack emotion, but this may be because her eyes are actually cameras for Monaca Towa to view the events of the Final Killing Game.

Similar to her controller, Monaca, Miaya uses a wheelchair equipped with a modern PC screen, which is where Usami/Monomi appears.

## Personality

Miaya is a mysterious character, all that is currently known is that she is extremely shy and thus doesn't speak verbally. According to Aoi Asahina, she speaks only through her computer via Usami.

Through Usami/Monomi, Miaya is far more proactive, as she was the one who proposed finding everyone's NG code, as well as being angry at Juzo Sakakura for attacking Naegi.

While her avatar Monomi is very emotional, Miaya's facial expressions never seem to change - while her mouth is hidden by her scarf, her eyes are visible and always have the same calm expression which lacks emotion. She also dislikes direct contact with other people. All of this, along with the fact that she never speaks, is most likely due to the fact that she's later revealed to be a robotic puppet.

She can act child-like at times, most likely because her avatar Monomi and the fact that she's controlled by Monaca. Everything Miaya says (through Monomi) or does is all Monaca's doing. She does not feel anything and has no personality of her own.

## Skills and Abilities

### Immunities

As a robot, Miaya is immune to the sleeping drugs and poisons administered by the Monokuma bangles. This enables her to operate without fear of violating her NG Code or being suddenly disabled by the time limits of the Final Killing Game. She is also immune to the brainwashing videos shown on the monitors during the game's sleeping phase.

### Combat Ability

While being controlled by Monaca, Miaya mainly defended herself with various hidden weapons on her wheelchair. Upon entering autonomous mode, she used her body and wheelchair as a weapon to exterminate her targets.

### Durability

As a robot, Miaya can endure more damage than a normal human, with the ability to reattach any parts of her body that are severed from her. However, this proved of minimal use against Kyosuke's heated katana, which proved capable of carving right through her armor.

### Weapons

Miaya has many weapons hidden inside her wheelchair and body - Monaca stated that she has a total of seven secret weapons. Some of these weapons include missiles fired from the back and sides of the wheelchair, retractable wires that can electrocute people, and metal blades that can replace Miaya's hands.

### Extra Limbs

Upon entering autonomous mode, Miaya displayed the ability to produce extra limbs from various parts of herself and her wheelchair, including the ability to manipulate her scarf like a pair of limbs, large arms formed from the sides of her wheelchair, and six mechanical tentacles that emerge from her back when she goes into "elimination mode".
