Himiko Yumeno

Himiko Yumeno (夢野 秘密子 Yumeno Himiko) is one of the characters featured in Danganronpa V3: Killing Harmony and a participant of the New Killing School Life.

Himiko has the title Ultimate Magician (超高校級の「マジシャン」 chō kōkō kyū no “majishan” lit. Super High School Level Magician). However, she claims she is a real magic user, thus preferring the title Ultimate Mage.

Appearance
Himiko has pale skin, greyish red eyes and medium length red hair. Her most notable trait is her black "witch hat", with red lines around the middle. She also has a quite short stature and round face, giving her quite young appearance. The right corner of her upper lip is slightly curled up.

She also wears brown medieval looking boots with white ribbons tied on, black tights, and a red skirt. Around the upper half of her body is a black blazer and underneath is what looks like a brown/burgundy shirt. Some of her red hair is hidden in the witch hat she wears on her head. She is also wearing a hairpin on the right side of her hair.

Personality
Himiko considers her parlor tricks to be real magic, which is why she prefers to be called a mage instead of magician. However, she is only seen doing rather ordinary things like hand techniques and making doves appear. During various situations, she tends to claim that she could use her magic to fix the problem, but she says she doesn't have enough MP.

While she has a "to the max" side as a magician, Himiko also has a lazy side and finds putting in the maximum effort to be too much trouble. She claims talking wears her out and her voice and expressions often appear somewhat drowsy.

Himiko usually called people with an usual suffix "よ/yo" and ended her sentence with "-ja." She also refers herself as "", a pronoun used where a person was talking on behalf of their family, company, etc.

Ultimate Magician
Himiko could perform parlor tricks such as choose someone's card, find a coin in their ear, or make doves appear. She claims she uses real magic, though this is not confirmed.

Danganronpa V3: Killing Harmony
Prior to being the bearer of the Ultimate Magician's title, Himiko was the self-proclaimed Ultimate Mage, as she insists that her parlor tricks are real magic. She also claims that she was the youngest person ever chosen by the world magic lovers' society, The Magician's Castle, as the Magician of the Year. However, she says she has been prevented from receiving her reward because of a conspiracy to hide the existence of magic.

While she isn't recognized as a mage, Himiko is awash in clients from all over the world who want to hire her as a magician.

Demo - Class Trial Ver.
Himiko was first seen inside the cafetaria along with Tenko Chabashira and Kaito Momota. She introduced herself to Kaede Akamatsu and Makoto Naegi, insisting that her true title is the Ultimate Mage but due to the conspiracy of magic nonexistent, people refer her as the Ultimate Magician, much to her dismay.

During the incident of Yasuhiro Hagakure's murder, Himiko was having a tea with Tenko in the cafeteria. She gives her the lecture about the different between magic and witchcraft and stated that during that time there were always only two of them. However, Tenko noticed a male entered the kitchen but didn't have time to put a closer attention since Himiko's lecture intensified and doesn't let her have a free time until the body discovery announcement was broadcasted by Monokuma.

Her Mother
It is heavily implied that Himiko has a strong relationship with her mother, as she is seen talking about her often.

Tsumugi Shirogane
Tsumugi seems the only person among the students that responded to Himiko's saying as a mage. When Himiko states that she ran out of MP during the demo class trial, Tsumugi suggested her to sleep at the inn for one night in order to restore her MP.
