Aoi Asahina

Aoi Asahina (朝日奈 葵 Asahina Aoi) is one of the characters featured in Dangan Ronpa: Academy of Hope and High School Students of Despair. She has the title Super High-School Level Swimmer (超高校級の「スイマー」Chō Kōkō Kyū no "Suimā"). She was a young sportswoman who was active in five different sport clubs. Due to her ability, Asahina was chosen as a representative at the Olympics. When Oogami committed suicide in Chapter 4, she attempted to make everyone vote for her as the culprit after being tricked into thinking that Oogami killed herself out of despair. She survived the final trial and escaped with the other survivors at the end of the game.

Appearance
Asahina has tanned skin and brown hair that she wears in a ponytail. She wears athletic shorts and a red track suit jacket over a white shirt. Asahina also has a rather curvy body, large breasts, and is usually the subject of Fukawa/Syo's harassment.

Personality
Always energetic and friendly, Asahina is also a bit airheaded. She has difficulty remembering names. Asahina is quite emotional, as she is one of the very few students that take their friends’ deaths very personally, to the extent of crying for the dying Yamada in Chapter 3. This trait is also prevalent in Chapter 4, where she got into a fight with Togami and Syo  because the latter two were badmouthing Sakura Oogami, her close friend.

Of all things that afflict her, Oogami’s death affects her the most. This event is enough to drive her into devising a plan to get herself and the others killed after she read Oogami’s (falsified) suicide note. The Free Time sequence reveals her insecurity about being not feminine enough due to her being an athlete. She is also a donut lover and secretly a fan of Jason Statham.

Pre-Despair Incident
Aoi was best friends with Sakura during her time at Hope's Peak Academy.

Execution
Water Illusion Show - Asahina is put in a water tank. From above, Monobear dressed as a magician appears, and he waves his staff and a curtain falls, raising again with a drum roll. Many sharks can be seen in the tank, surrounding Asahina. Once again, Monobear waves his staff and the curtain falls. As the drum rolls and the curtain rises, Asahina isn't in the tank anymore, because she's been eaten by the sharks. This execution is shown in the Official Fanbook.
