Thank you for all the submissions you've given me! Honestly, I'm glad that all the characters are so interesting and detailed! I'm a novice writer, s—-o I'm looking for reviews that'll both encourage me and give me comments that'll help me improve my story.

(POLL) Oh, if you're interested, there's a poll on my profile about who should some of the characters interact with! For now on the first interaction after the prologue and Monokuma in introduced, we'll see how many people would like Stella and Ayano to interact with whom! The poll's not finished, but go ahead and vote! Next time, I'll tell you on the next prologue!

Okay, so let's get started with the Prologue Part 1: Meeting The Cast (9/18)!

—

Everything all started once eighteen splendidly talented students have received an invitation to a private school called Phoenix's Justice Court School.

Phoenix's Justice was a school to envy and respect, students who enrolled there were top notch for a bright, luxurious future ahead of them. Blending in with the perfect role models for the community, the school itself was to be envied. Clean hallways and big, advanced rooms filled with televisions, smooth, shiny desks and chairs, a big jury in each of the five halls, and a bunch of extra rooms for sleeping, leisure, and activities. It can be easily compared to a big mansion, just much, much more better.

Getting invited to such a school was like winning a lottery to the whole continent of Europe. It was a one in a billionth chance in every single person in the world to enroll in such a fantastic school.

And so, the contents of such a lottery ticket was a mere sight to faint at with shock.

"Dear future student,

It would be an honor if you would join us among 17 other students to Phoenix's Justice Court School.

You and the 17 other students will be gifted with the title of SHSL, along with your specialized talent.

You and your talent will surely change the world for the better. That is the very purpose of this school and we would grant you with our best efforts the ability to learn such a life-changing skill.

Not only will you change the world, but also see yourself in a new light.

I would be looking forward to seeing you soon, my future student.

Sincerely, the Headmaster of Phoenix's Justice Court School."

It was truly a sight to behold.

A sixteen year old girl with long golden brown hair that went down all the way to her chest tiredly rubbed her round purple eyes, finally awakening from her nap. She took off her white hat that had a golden rose emblem on it, wiping off the sweat on her forehead. Either she was sweating because of the white jacket with a red knitted rose pin that was over her cute mint dress, or she had a horrible dream she couldn't recall of.

Stella "Rose" Law—SHSL Legal Assistant

Stella was lying down on what seems to be like a jury bench, as she curiously glanced around the room there was a big brown door behind her and a court in front of her. "I'm in a courtroom...?" She mumbled to herself, a bit dizzy from just waking up. She averted her daze towards the clock. 8:15 AM. "!" Stella immediately stood up, ignoring the numbness in her legs. Oh no! She was late for the orientation at Phoenix's Justice Court School!

"What will I do?" She asked herself urgently. Even though she was quite worried, it was though Stella herself didn't realize that the problem doesn't lie there. The bigger problem was: how did she end up here?

The loudspeaker on the corner of the wall began to buzz energetically, making Stella Law even more worried than before.

"Testing! Testing!"

It was an irritably perky voice.

"Oh! Is this on? ... Great!"

"Ahem! Students of Phoenix's Justice Court School should report to the theaters immediately! I repeat! Immediately!"

"Huh?" Stella was in the Phoenix's Justice Court School? That didn't make sense. The last thing she could recall was getting an invitation to such an elaborate school, and then...

Blank.

Nothing.

Her mind was blank.

"Ufufufu!" The person over the speaker continued, this time cracking up comments to who knows who. "This is gonna be so much fun!"

And with that, the whole school went silent.

—

"Well... That was creepy."

An eighteen year old blond boy with green eyes and a black hoodie was suspisciously staring at the loudspeaker, his eyebrows burrowing to a frown as he tried to make sense of— what the person over the loudspeaker meant by, well, everything.

Toby Shaw—SHSL Writer

"Then again, you creep me out more." The blond boy smiled optimistically, trying to stir up a conversation. He grabbed the pencil that was leaning on the tip of his right ear and hurriedly held the notebook that used to be alone on the bench close to his chest. "My name's Toby Shaw. You?"

There was another person besides him, glancing around the room silently. His face was covered by a white faceless mask, so the only features Toby can see were his raven hair that rested just above his shoulders. He wore a black school uniform and dark green gloves on his hands, making him look like a mysterious yet cool type of character. Then again, it was to be expected.

"..." The masked boy turned to Toby, seemingly wanting to say something, but suppressing the urges to do so. He turned away again, this time shrugging and muttering, "So? So, what are you trying to say?"

"Oh? Sorry, I couldn't hear you."

The masked boy grumbled. "You're the one who wanted to talk to me in the first place."

Unfortunately, Toby could barely hear the masked man, but he couldn't care less. All he wanted to know was: what the heck happened? Why was he here in what is assumed Phoenix's Justice Court School when he never recalled himself going into such a place these past few days? What was he doing, falling asleep in such a school? All these questions repeated endlessly in Toby's head, and honestly, it was beginning to turn him insane.

The room the two boys were in was fairly warm, despite the AC running. There were tons of bookshelves stacked around the whole area. Books were scattered everywhere, to the floor, around the top of the bookshelves, even some of the books were tightly packed into a binder! Toby could clearly see that he was in a library, and thank the heavens he wasn't sleeping at an arcade! All the wonderful books, they were everywhere! It was a joy to Toby Shaw.

But, he still needed a reason as to how he ended up here.

Before Toby could start investigating for answers, the door squeaked open. Toby immediately turn to see the raven haired masked boy turning the handle of the door. "Where are you going?"

The masked boy stopped for a few long moments before bluntly stating, "To the theaters. Didn't the loudspeaker say that we were to report to there immediately?"

"Huh? O-oh yeah! Wait for me!"

The masked boy quietly walked outside. "Whatever."

Toby smiled as he walked down the hallways with the masked boy. "So, what's your name?"

"Really? You have to ask that?" Silence. "... Juugo Isanami."

Juugo Isanami—SHSL Strategist

"Ooh? The strategist? That's interesting."

And a couple of more students are out for the time of their life.

The voice from the loudspeaker annoyed Makoto greatly. Really, who has such a high-pitched and terrible voice in this time and era? Makoto quickly scanned the courtroom with his heterochromatic eyes. His left eye held the quirky color of blue, which he gained from his English mother, and his right eye held a beautiful emerald green from his dad.

Makoto was a short seventeen year old raven haired boy, being only 5 feet and 5 inches tall. He wore a white hoodie that was halfway zipped, his black shirt exposed. His hood had cat ears and cat eyes on it, matching in with his cat charm necklace that he'd gotten from his sister. On the bottom he wore dark jeans and black converse, it was the kind of casual outfit that anyone would want to wear. Nonetheless, it wasn't like he was normal at all. If he was, he wouldn't have been invited to an elite school such as Phoenix.

Makoto stared at the emblem on the center of the wall that boldly stated, "Phoenix's Justice Courtroom School: Court 1-1."

"This is Phoenix... Right?"

Makoto Takamori—SHSL Detective

Before going to the theaters as the person over the speaker suggested, Makoto unconsciously casually took the time to examine the courtroom he was in. From the research he has looked into and the images he had seen online to waste time, this was definitely Phoenix's Justice Courtroom School.

But why wake up here without recalling any memories of walking into the glorious hallways of such a school? Makoto needed to find answers. Logical answers. The thought of ghosts randomly dragging him here into the courtrooms made him shudder. "Ugh. Let's not talk about that," Makoto comforted himself quietly.

A good detective always checks everything thoroughly.

Makoto remembered that rule too well to skip out to the theaters. Really. He wanted nothing to do with investigating and searching for clues and whatnot, but because of all the cases he had to solve, he was now, unfortunately, getting used to the routine of think, search, theory, and conclude.

He grumbled, examining the room from his position. It was your usual everyday courtroom, only bigger and cleaner. There was the defense and the offense, the jury, the judge's podium-like stage, etc. It wasn't as though anything seemed supiscious. Well, everything was suspicious, but Makoto was now sure he knew that he was in the court school of Phoenix.

He began to examine the loudspeaker. It was...your usual type of loudspeaker. Really, what the hell am I doing? He thought pitifully to himself, holding his head in shame. I should just leave and get on with the show already.

Makoto began walking out the door, unsure of what he'd just done. He then closed his and stretched his body outward, yawning tiredly. After he'd finished rubbing his eyes and was about to move to the theaters, the sounds of footsteps was getting closer and closer, faster and faster to the detective.

"What the-" Before Makoto could finish his sentence, he was roughly tumbling to the cold ground like a little child. "Ugh..." He scratched his head, feeling starry-eyed from the blow. "What the heck just happened?"

"Oh my gosh I'm so sorry!" It was a sixteen year old brunette who wore a sky blue pilot uniform and a silver necklace around her neck. Other than that, there was the interesting scar on the palm of her right hand. It was simply obvious that she was the Rina Kimura. "Are you okay?"

Rina Kimura—SHSL Pilot

Makoto softly smiled. "Y-yes... I've just been struck by your wonderful pilot skills. Was that the starry-eyed and unintentional headbutt?"

Rina blushed as her emerald green eyes examined Makoto for any kind of injury. "Of course not! Are you hurt anywhere? Man, I can be such an idiot sometimes." She lightheartedly laughed as Makoto was trying to figure out what witty retort to say to such a kind-hearted and cheerful maiden.

"Um..." Makoto felt lost. "Are you supposed to go to the theaters too?"

Just as Rina was about to ask for Makoto's name, she suddenly bolted up, suprising the poor detective. "Ah, that's right!" She began running down the hallways, before saying, "I'll meet you there!"

Makoto scratched his head, watching Rina Kimura fly away. Okay, he thought to himself with a smile. That's a really lame pun.

He then walked all the way to the theaters...

—

The theaters was crowded with people! Or so Ayano Kiyomizu thought. In reality, there was seventeen other people besides him, equalling to eighteen in total. The theaters was grand and big, red carpets and cushioned seats on the floor, a big humongous theater that was shining with pride. This the type of theaters you can only see if you were rich enough to own two mansions.

Ayano couldn't believe his eyes. How was he able to view such a grand place when he had such bad luck? Well, maybe that has to do with the invitation he had gotten one week ago. It was ironic really, going to Phoenix's Justice Court School for having the talent of... Yeah you got it-bad luck.

Ayano Kiyomizu—SHSL Bad Luck

Ayano was a seventeen year old boy with a skinny body. But even so, he had wonderful turquoise eyes and blond hair with two white panda clips that held his bangs from each side. Ayano wore a plain turquoise muffler with a white dress shirt, dark gray vest, and a black tie. Of course to match the top, he wore black pants and untied black boots with white socks underneath. As accessories, he wears black fingerless gloves, a mustache necklace, and a headband with a cute tiny top hat on it.

"Are you the last student here?" A dark red haired girl asked curiously.

Ayano quickly examined her. She wore gray eyes and as much as he didn't want to think this, she had a flat chest. Other than that, she wore a white short t-shirt with black sleeves and dark blue skinny jeans. In addition to her attire, she had black and white converses as her shoes. Ayano also noticed that she has a hat with a woman on it (which he believed is from the game Catherine).

CJ Park (Charley Jay Park)—SHSL Game Designer

"I-I'm not sure..." Ayano replied politely. He knew her very well enough to not stir up a conversation with her. As he was a timid and shy boy, CJ was a sarcastic and confident girl who can hold her own in a fight.

"Aren't you Ayano Kiyomizu, the bad luck human?" Ayano cried to himself. Everyone knows he's a person to stay away from! What should he do? He desperately tried to come up of something to say to her, but as he opened his mouth, his throat went dry. He can see the strange look on CJ's face.

"Calm down, it's not like the world's going to end for you," Ayano turned to find a red-haired young man smiling at him. "I'm Nathan Blek, the famous Table Tennis Player!" He had a slim figure and muscular arms and legs. Nathan wore red shorts and a white T-shirt with a blue scarf on neck and black tennis shoes.

Nathan Blek—SHSL Table Tennis Player

"Nathan," CJ started, rolling her eyes. "Stop butting into conversations!"

"Hey, calm down." Nathan bluntly said, his blue eyes staring at her cold, gray eyes. CJ scoffed, turning away and going to Rina and Stella who ended up in a one-sided conversation. Nathan sighed, before turning back to Ayano, who jumped at the sudden change from a witty girl to a kind-hearted fellow. "Are you a fellow student of this academy too?"

Ayano nodded. "Yes, I'm Ayano Kiyomizu."

"All of these Japanese names are making me dizzy!" Nathan exclaimed. Even though Nathan was clearly intending this as a joke, Ayano couldn't help but laugh awkwardly. "Sheesh, I feel like the Japanese are everywhere today!" Ayano glanced at Nathan in distress. Ayano was a nice kid, but he couldn't help but think, Nathan! We're in Japan! You're the one who has a weird name!

As Nathan was busy calling out jokes and names, Ayano silently walked over to the nearest person closest to him. It was a girl with long, wavy dark brown hair reaching the bottom of her back, with evenly cut bangs almost reaching her eyes. She had beautiful and unique hazel eyes that matched perfectly with her mocha skin that was covered by a white button up shirt over a red and gold tailcoat. On the bottom she wore tan tights and black knee high boots.

"H-Hello..." Ayano started. The girl glanced at him.

"Oh, hey there!" The girl greeted innocently at Ayano, a big smile on her face.

Ayano smiled at her back. "You look familiar."

"Oh?" The brunette suddenly bowed, making Ayano glance at her with sudden worry. "I'm the one and only Elena Luz Grey!" Ayano's eyes widened with shock. She was the ringleader he always adored when he watches her on television. How could he forget?

Elena Luz Grey—SHSL Ringleader

"O-oh really?" Ayano felt more lighthearted than usual. "I love your performances!"

Elena felt her face getting warm, feeling joy that someone has complimented her. When was the last time someone complimented her and was not a child? Honestly, she didn't have an answer. "It's because of my hard work a love for entertaining my fans!"

Ayano felt his luck rising. Here he was, meeting tons of famous people he adored. He may not have adored CJ, but he was actually glad to have seen her in person. Ayano heard of Nathan, and he can't help but feel tired and worked up at the same time when Nathan begins to talk and talk. And now, here he was meeting the famous star, Elena Luz Grey! What more can a normal guy like him wish for? Well, to have more good luck, but let's not get too greedy.

"Hey! You should meet that guy over there!" Elena suddenly pointed to a masked boy near the corner of the room. Ayano bit his lip. Who would wear a mask here? It's so suspicious and creepy... Both at the same time. But before Ayano can point those statements, Elena began dragging him closer to the masked boy. "Why don't we say hi?"

"W-wait! I don't think that's a good idea!"

Ayano was shoved closer to the masked boy, who suddenly directed his gaze towards him and Elena. Ayano was at a loss of what to say, while Elena awkwardly waved at the boy, saying, "I'm Elena, and this is Ayano. What's your name?"

The masked boy said nothing. He stared at the two, frozen as a statue. He sighed. Why does everyone have to introduce themselves expecting him to speak back? "... Juugo Isanami."

"Really? That's a nice name," Elena complimented, the masked boy grunting in return.

There was a sudden change in the atmosphere. Ayano sensed this and shivered. "E-excuse me." Before Ayano can leave before something stirs up (as he felt the sudden chill behind his back), an arrogant voice resounded in the theaters, overtly mocking the masked boy.

"What the hell? Why are you wearing a mask? That's so creepy!"

(Prologue Part 2 —)

Oh gosh looks like trouble might stir up between Juugo and the person who insulted him! Really, poor Ayano has some horrible luck. I mean, this is Danganronpa. Every person in this school has some horrible luck, but poor Ayano. Rina's such a cute lady, and silly Makoto can't make up his mind! Stella, Stella, Stella... What would we do without you to start off the story?

Really, all of these characters are amazing so far! It's hard choosing who to kill off and be executed first, they're all so wonderfully made! Sheesh, I'm really gonna hate myself when it comes to the trials and murders. They're all so adorable and cute!

What's your favorite characters so far?

Also, for the reserved person, I'm so so sorry I was stupid to only leave one slot for you! Argh, if only I can change my mistake! I hope you can spend enough time to forgive me and send your OC! You're the last, very special person here!

Also for everyone, I'm not that good of a drawer, but I was thinking I might draw the characters out! What do you think?

-VioElcina, out!-
