History
[Warning: Several spoilers follow this section!]

Pre-Despair Incident
In Owari's Free Time events, it is revealed that before going to Hope's Peak Academy, Owari lived a poor life, as she states that it was better than her old room when she was given the crappiest room in the Strawberry and Muscat Towers in Chapter 4. She lived together with her 7 siblings and unemployed father, filled with poverty and hunger. She states that her "mom or dad would change", and that "there would be more siblings every time". It is also revealed that she worked many part-time jobs where her customers groped her, until her father suggested that she should start doing gymnastics for money. For her, it was paradise enough on the island just to stay warm and not get rained on.

Like her fellow classmates, she too at one point fell in line with Ultimate Despair before her capture and attempted rehabilitation. Although there's no hint as to what may have caused this, it is known that some members of Despair starved themselves and considering Owari's constantly showcased love of eating, it's possible she may have been one of these individuals.

Island Life of Mutual Killing
In Chapter 1, her eating Hanamura's food was essential in proving the fact that it was not poisoned. In Chapter 2, it was her who revealed that the window leading out of the beach house could not be exited through without two people getting on one another's shoulders. In Chapter 3 when the others are at Kuzuryu's welcome back party, she challenges Monokuma to a duel, where Nidai steps in and saves her from Monokuma's final strike, at the cost of his body. Later, she got despair fever, the motive of the third chapter. Under its influence, she became a cowardly crybaby. She refuses to admit that the culprit of the third, double murder is the person that treated her when she got Despair Fever.

In Chapter 4 when she and the rest of the group found out that Nidai turned into a robot, she didn't feel devastated or shocked, although she felt sorry for him. Because of her recklessness, Nidai loss his human body.

Nekomaru Nidai
Nidai is close to Owari due to their desire to improve themselves physically. She was the most shocked to discover that he was a cyborg and was really depressed about his death. Despite Gundam Tanaka being executed, she was still depressed, leading Kazuichi Soda to use some of Nidai's remains to create a mini-Nidai that does cheer her up.
