Saiyuki Ryoko

Saiyuki Ryoko is the protagonist of the Danganronpa Shifting Visions Killing Game, after being chosen for the Extended Class for her singing talent, and taken to the Frozen Cliffs, the setting for the Killing Game. She was referred to by her classmates as "Earmuffs" before she revealed her name. Her title is the "Ultimate Singer"

Appearance
A 16 year old girl, Saiyuki has medium-length violet hair tied in a single side-ponytail that falls short of her shoulder by a few centimetres, at the left side of her head, tied with a nondescript pink hair-tie and pinned with a medium-sized pink bow on it. She has curious brown eyes that narrow slightly downward. Saiyuki wears a dark purple-grey jacket that falls a bit lower than waist length. She wears a lilac sweater underneath, and a tan, white fur-rimmed skirt. She wears dark grey earmuffs, and dark brown boots, with white stockings. She has nondescript warm brown eyes.

Personality
Saiyuki is a positive and determined person. Her upbeat personality is somewhat infectious, and she can lift the mood of those around her. She’s somewhat naive about the killing game not knowing how brutal people can be when their lives are placed at stake. She uses logic rather than intelligence to solve class trials. She hides a paranoid side from her classmates, sometimes lying awake worrying about the killing game, but she does her best to not let it show. She cares deeply about those close to her and was probably the one most scarred when they witnessed the first execution. Along the way of the killing game, she slowly loses the faith that others will come to save them, and after the third trial, she develops a stronger and more determined attitude to escape by her own terms, with all their remaining classmates.

Backstory
Saiyuki was raised in a quiet town nearby her school,

Talent
Saiyuki is known as the "Ultimate Singer", being the Super Highschool Level Singer. She can sing anything flawlessly and beautifully, but prior to the killing game, it is revealed that she is recovering from a vocal injury, limiting her talent throughout the game. Using her talent, Saiyuki can also shout at high volumes, which is beneficial in class trials, when she wants to be heard by others.

Voice Actor
