Ryoko Otonashi

Ryouko Otonashi (音無涼子 Otonashi Ryouko) is the protagonist of the Dangan Ronpa/Zero novel series.

Appearance
Ryouko has long, disheveled, dark red hair and eyes and wears the school uniform of Hope's Peak Academy. Her uniform consists of an unbuttoned dark green cardigan on top of a white blouse with a red ribbon. The cardigan has the logo of Hope's Peak Academy emblazoned on. She wears a short dark green skirt and white knee socks. She also has a melancholic expression most of the time.

Personality
Ryouko is presented as a girl with a psychologial disorder which causes her to lose her short and long term memories. Because of this, she writes everything down in a notebook. Due to her illness she often visits Yasuke Matsuda, who she is in love with, for check ups. She is generally cheerful and carefree.

History
In actuality, 'Ryouko' is nothing more than a fake identity for Junko Enoshima. Junko, in preparation for the School Life of Mutual Killing, had been testing procedures for memory-erasing with the reluctant assistance of Matsuda. Having succeeded in a particular attempt, she no longer remembered who she was, only having false information in a notebook and the continuing ruse of both Matsuda and Ikusaba to go off of.
