Angie Yonaga

"Nyahahaha! There's no reason to carry bad thoughts with ya! You gotta live every day like it's bright, cheery, and fun!...So says Atua."

- Danganronpa V3: Killing Harmony

Angie Yonaga (夜長 アンジー Yōnaga Anjī) is a student in Ultimate Academy for Gifted Juveniles and a participant of the Killing School Semester featured in Danganronpa V3: Killing Harmony.

Angie has the title Ultimate Artist (超高校級の「美術部」Chō kōkō-kyū no “bijutsu-bu” lit. Super High School Level Art Club Member). She claims that her art is work of, ("God of the Island" in the Japanese version) rather than her own.

Early life

 * Before Joining Danganronpa

Angie Yonaga is a normal talentless high school girl who participated in the 53rd Season of Danganronpa, a famous worldwide reality show made by Team Danganronpa.

Angie and the other talentless fifteen students undergo the fabrication process, where all of their past memory and personality were heavily fabricated. She also received the talent and title of Ultimate Artist. All of this were done for the sake of satisfying Danganronpa's audience from all around the world. After the fabrication process done, Angie and the others entered the Ultimate Academy for Gifted Juveniles as a whole different person, officially commencing the 53rd killing game season known as the Killing School Semester.

She used to attend All Kinds of Stuff High School (ナンデモカンデモ高校). However, it is unclear if this memory of her is a part of the fabrication made by Team Danganronpa.


 * Fabricated Past

After she successfully participated in the 53rd Killing Game, Angie's memories and past were fabricated by Team Danganronpa as follows.

Angie originates from an island in the center of the ocean where people worship Atua, the god of the island. The island is described as a paradise. It used to be large, but natural disasters made it smaller. It is overflowing with nature, though some plants are known to attack people and people are unsure if they even are plants. The locals also have lots of unusual customs, some of them quite unsettling. Notably, they give non-fatal blood sacrifices for their god using human blood, with a sacrifice truck coming around on Mondays and Wednesdays. The locals also use a mail order website called Deepsea to order things like food, clothes, medicine and blood, and apparently this website has improved their everyday lives significantly.

While living in the island, Angie was for some reason convinced that she is an oracle receiving divine messages from the god. She begun to control the whole island this way, using god's word to make other people do things for her, since it was strongly forbidden to go against the god's word. However, it's heavily implied that most of it was simply Angie's own wishes, but she was unable to tell the difference and assumed they were orders from god. It's implied that she suffers from loneliness, and sometimes ordered people to have big festivals.

The Gofer Project
Part of the fake backstories created for Angie and the other fifteen students was The Gofer Project, which supposedly happened before the killing game started. It was initiated by the government after countless meteorites crashed into Earth. To try and preserve the last vestiges of mankind before the Earth's destruction, the government decided to select a number of excellent human beings, put them in a spaceship, and have them escape.

Angie and fifteen other high school students were chosen to participate. Not wanting to abandon their loved ones, they attempted to escape from the plan.

Around that time, an extremist cult came into power. They believed that the meteor crashes were a punishment humanity brought upon itself, and having heard of The Gofer Project, they tried to stop it. As a result, the “Ultimate Hunt” started and spread throughout the world, and the sixteen students were hunted down.

The government then decided to counter the situation by faking the students' deaths, calming down the “Ultimate Hunt” while providing protection to the students. The Gofer Project was then put into action while the Earth was being destroyed. Angie and the others went to the space in a massive colony spaceship, the true form of Ultimate Academy of Gifted Juveniles.

Kokichi Oma, one of the participant of the plan, declared himself as a member of Junko Enoshima's Remnants of Despair who masterminded the Killing Game and let Monokuma entered the spaceship, effectively forcing Angie and the others to participate in the Killing Game.

It should be noted that Angie has no complete recollection of the event, as she was murdered before she actually received a complete memory about The Gofer Project by the Flashback Light in Chapter 5.

Killing School Semester
Angie was seen on Altar of Judgement and introduced herself cheerfully to Kaede Akamatsu. She told her that she worshiped Atua and her art would be sacrificed to her god. Throughout the Killing Game, Angie is shown to be very cheerful despite the intimidating atmosphere created by Monokuma and his Kubs. When the group failed to escape via Death Road of Despair several times, she was glad that no one was injured.

After the first motive is presented, the First Blood Perk, Angie doesn't seem to be bothered by the time limit and she gladly embraced death, saying that Atua has already welcomed her in his Kingdom. She didn't do anything notable in anticipating the time limit, only praying to her heart content because if she prays harder, she'll get a promotion to become a platinum disciple in her religion. In the end, she is always look cheerful, even after she and the others discovered Rantaro Amami's corpse. She would pray for him during the investigation while Tenko Chabashira who grew an unusual annoyance toward her watching from the distance.

The Magic Show
In Chapter 2, Angie befriended with Himiko and "brainwashed" her to believe in Atua. She realized that the Ultimate Magician is scarred with the reality that they have to face, so she approached her, and turn Atua as Himiko's perfect escapism. The two later collaborated to perform the Amazing Himiko's Magic Show a day after the Monokubs distribute the motive video, the second motive of the Killing Game.

The Summoning Ritual
Angie formed the Student Council of Ultimate Academy for Gifted Juveniles in Chapter 3 and prevented the students to go outside from their dorm during the nighttime. She is also busy in preparing the ritual to revive Rantaro from his death.

Around 2 A.M., Angie discovered Korekiyo sawing the floor of a vacant room on the fourth floor in preparations for a murder. While Angie was distracted, Korekiyo knocked her unconscious with a plank of wood. He then plunged a into the back of her neck, killing her.

When Angie's corpse is discovered in the morning, the students that discover her body grieve for her passing. Korekiyo suggests that they perform a ritual to commune with Angie's spirit, ultimately leading to Tenko's murder.

Name
Angie is a common diminutive for several English names based on the word "angel" - e.g. "Angela", "Angeline", etc. Her name could be a reference to her hair color, which happens to be white. While her last name kanji 夜長 yonaga, means "a long night".

Alternate Fates
In Danganronpa V3: Killing Harmony (Demo Version), Angie met Kaede Akamatsu and Makoto Naegi in the middle of hallway, in front of the door led to the dormitory. She introduced herself as the Ultimate Artist, and asked Kaede to make a blood offering for her God, Atua, which made Kaede a little bit anemic. She later participated in the Class Trial to discover the killer of Yasuhiro Hagakure.

Appearance
Angie has tanned skin and round, pale blue eyes. Her hair is a light platinum blonde that looks almost white and is tied into two wavy ponytails by small, thin hair bands. She appears to have a tattoo in shape of three dots around her bellybutton, but they could also be piercings.

She's shown to be wearing a white, frilly bikini top and presumably a matching bottom, over which she wears a plain blue skirt with frills sewn to the bottom of it. On top of her skirt, she wears a pink utility belt which holds her carving tools. Angie wears a yellow smock which reaches below her knees and leaves her wrists exposed. Her smock has black symbols on her shoulders. Her shoes are simple white slip-ons with dark soles.

Angie wears a white beaded bracelet on her left wrist, as well as another, darker one, possibly black, on her right ankle. She also wears a simple, beaded necklace with a sea shell in the middle of it.

Personality
Angie is a very spiritual person, believing that Atua, the god of her island, is always at her side. She has a pious heart and likes praying, having a very strong faith in her god, and she is very willing to help and assist other people with spiritual matters. She often searches for things to offer as blood sacrifices and somewhat creepily talks about her need for blood and asks other students to offer her some. She also has a habit of speaking on behalf of her god and strangely these words can sometimes turn out to be very truthful. As another eccentric habit, she freely uses her own original Japanese, like "Bye-yonara" or "strange miracle", which shows a little bit of her artistic side. Similar to Ibuki Mioda, she also calls everyone by their first names in the Japanese version, which is considered eccentric since Japanese acquaintances normally refer to each other with their last names instead of their first names. However, in Angie's case, this seems to be because she's not a Japan-native.

Considered the quirkiest character in the series by her voice actress Minori Suzuki, Angie is a positive, but quite strange person who does things her own way. She is notably energetic and cheerful, almost always having an excited and wide smile, even when everyone else is serious. Due to her strong faith in Atua, she is unusually calm and unfazed, to the point of appearing unnaturally cheerful and out of touch with reality. She isn't even afraid of death as she believes that Atua would welcome her in afterlife and for similar reasons tells the others not to worry about dying. In Chapter 2, she even mentions that Atua loves Monokuma, because he loves all of his creations. She even appears to cheer excitedly when she sees other students fighting, and when she loses during the Death Road of Despair, she is heard laughing and giggling cheerfully, contrasting the despairing and pained voices of the other characters. When everyone else gives up on the escape game in low spirits, she is just glad that nobody was seriously hurt thanks to Atua. She doesn't show any fear when being surrounded by massive amounts of insects either, as she claims she is used to seeing them in her home island. Using her god's instructions as guidance behind her words and actions, she never seems to hesitate. She is also quick to tell the other students that god will punish them and all their relatives if they disagree with her on religious or other matters, smiling passively aggressively the whole time. This, along with her liking for blood sacrifices, can make her come across terrifying at times.

Being the Ultimate Artist, Angie can skillfully work with drawings, sculptures and other things, but she is known to say that her god is the one who is really creating everything and she is simply lending her body, describing the experience as if she's being "possessed by her muse"." She demands to be alone whenever she makes her art, but it's said that she indeed does appear as if she's possessed whenever she does. It's been implied that her art work can strongly affect other people's will and mind, to the point of resembling brainwashing.

Interestingly, Angie seems to be a logical person when it comes to murder. Even though she formed a bond with Himiko in Chapter 2, she immediately accused her of being Ryoma Hoshi's killer when there was evidence that showed Himiko was capable of being the killer. Angie stated that she needed to do so because she didn't want her classmates to die due to choosing the wrong culprit. In similar situations, she is seen eagerly accusing suspicious students without mercy, and she cheerfully encourages them to use counter arguments. This character trait of her contrasts with Tenko Chabashira, who always believed in and protected Himiko until the end.

Her very notable trait is the way she always puts herself before others. While she can mean well and fully believes in her religion, she can use it to manipulate others to do things for her, claiming it's what god wants and people get punished if they don't obey. She is used to getting what she wants this way back in her island and thus dislikes it when people do not listen to her. She sometimes tries to convert others to her religion, though she seems to give up if she notices it won't have any effect and only seems to act passive aggressive at most. However, she is an extremely skilled manipulator and is somehow able to deduce other people's weaknesses and exactly the kind of support each person needs. She then offers Atua to them, as she believes that he is the only true god there is and that his form changes according to the feelings of whoever sees him, which in her opinion explains the multiple gods people around the world believe in. For example, for Gonta it would be a "gentle grandma", for Himiko a "handsome guy", and during the bonus mode she even offers Atua to Mondo Owada, in the form of "a macho, reliable older brother". Whenever others accuse her of brainwashing, she claims that on the contrary she undoes the brainwashing of others by making them believe.

It should be noted that while she is very manipulative and selfish, Angie does not appear to be intentionally malicious, and she often genuinely wants to encourage and guide others through her words. She plans to make the academy environment "heaven on earth", so that people wouldn't have the will to escape and start the killing game. After finding out that Tenko betrayed her, she doesn't really mind and immediately forgives her, and simply encourages her to be better in the future. In her Free Time Events, it's confirmed that she is convinced she is an oracle who receives divine messages. Because of this, she has difficulties differentiating god's intentions from her own, which explains parts of her behavior. According to Shuichi's assumptions, her problem might be that she gets lonely very easily and is convinced that other people and god will do anything for her. After Shuichi gets angry with her during their free time, Angie is impressed by this because in her home island people never disobey her. As a result, Angie begun to realize her interest in Shuichi is her own and not because of god, and for the first time she has a chance to speak her own mind.

Due to the customs of her home island, Angie is also shown to have quite different views on sexuality. She has quite poor understanding of personal space and can even begin to undress other people in public if she is interested in them. For some reason, she tends to refer to sexual situations as "exercising" and "workouts".

Ultimate Artist
Angie's talent as the Ultimate Artist is a fabrication made by Team Danganronpa. Due to that fact, it is unclear whether Angie is a skilled artist in the past.

Angie is shown creating a detailed, wooden statue in her promotional work. She is also shown wearing a utility belt filled with carving tools which may imply carving is her main skill. Besides sculptures, she can work with drawings. She tends to give the credit to god, who in her opinion is the one who really creates everything.

Angie is capable of craving replica from wax as shown in Chapter 3 where she created Kaede, Ryoma, Rantaro, and Kirumi's perfect and extremely detail replica. Shuichi noted that Kaede's wax "size" has the same size as the original.

In her Free Time Events, it's heavily implied that her art work can strongly affect the viewer's mind, similar to Ryota Mitarai's brainwashing techniques. When Shuichi looks at one of her drawings, he loses consciousness almost instantly and Angie claims it's a common reaction. She then claims that only god's "chosen ones" can look at the drawing without fainting. In Chapters 2 and 3, she convinces some other students to join her "Religious Student Council", the process including painting a personal metaphorical picture of god for everyone, portrayed as the way they see him.

Relationships

 * Ultimate Academy for Gifted Juveniles:

Himiko Yumeno
Angie and Himiko become close friends in Chapter 2, which makes Tenko jealous. Himiko loves showing Angie and Tenko her magic tricks, and Angie even assists her at one point, although they are interrupted by Ryoma Hoshi's murder. Despite their bond, Angie immediately accused Himiko of being Ryoma's killer when there was evidence that showed Himiko was capable of being the killer. Angie stated that she needed to do so because she didn't want her classmates to die due to choosing the wrong culprit.

Angie attempts to convert Himiko to join her religion. Though appearing uninterested and lazy at first, Himiko eventually decides to follow Angie's footsteps in worshipping her "handsome" God. Because of this, Tenko joined the Student Council to be with Himiko and later betrayed Angie.

When the two are killed by Korekiyo, Himiko is devastated and tearful. She actively participates in their class trial, determined to solve their murders and find their killer.

Tenko Chabashira
Tenko has a strange relationship with Angie since the start and Angie is the only other girl she isn't that fond of. Tenko who doesn't believe in God's help sees Angie as a weird person, as she is always happy during the killing game knowing that God is on her side. She very quickly grows to dislike Angie, because she assumes she is trying to brainwash her and Himiko.

Tenko later begins to dislike Angie even more and becomes jealous when Himiko decides to follow Angie's footsteps in worshipping her "handsome" God. In Chapter 3, Tenko even joined the Student Council led by Angie only so she could be close with Himiko. In the end, she betrayed Angie and the Student Council when she guided Shuichi and Maki to the Student Council's exclusive study research.

However, Tenko was devastated to find Angie dead and she regretted how she was being hostile towards her. She tried to resurrect Angie with the others by performing a ritual to reveal the killer, but failed when she got killed by Korekiyo.

In the bonus mode, Tenko admits that she likes Angie's art and that she made Himiko's performance better.

Kaede Akamatsu
Kaede sees Angie as a very religious person and is a bit creeped out when Angie asks for some blood to sacrifice to her god. Whether good girl or bad, Kaede thinks that it won't be easy to get close to her. After Kaede was executed, Angie seemed to forgive her deed and said that she would rest in heaven, but Miu replied that Kaede had a horrible way to go.

Kokichi Oma
When Kokichi cries and appears scared at one point, Angie comforts him by telling him about the God of the Island. Kokichi then appears to calm down immediately, but it's likely that he was just acting and messing with her.
