Sora (소라) is a character featured in the Korean fangame Super Danganronpa Another 2 created by LINUJ.
Due to suffering from amnesia, she can’t remember her talent, past, or even her real name. Because of this, she is dubbed the Super High School Level ??? (초고교급 ???). However, the only thing she remembered was the word "Sora", therefore she decided to name herself Sora for the time being until she eventually finds more of her memories.

Name Etymology[]
Sora, a temporary name she uses to refer to herself, uses the kanji 空, literally meaning "sky", but it could also mean "empty" or "void", denoting her apparent memory loss.
Appearance[]
Sora is a young woman of average height. She has pale skin, dark brown eyes and waist-length silver hair that she wears tied up in a low ponytail, held in place by a red scrunchie. She also has a thin ahoge that protrudes from the top of her head and bends to one side.
She wears a white sailor uniform with a coal grey collar and rolled-up sleeves, a red ascot secured by a silver ringed clip, and a matching grey skirt that has a white line going through the hem. The collar, cuffs, and skirt of her uniform all have criss-cross plaid patterns on them. She also wears white socks that are cut just below the knee and black Mary Janes.
Her AI is detailed to have three large scars resembling animal scratches, revealed in Chapter Five. On her character design sheet, it is revealed to have been because of the injury Akane sustained after saving Rei in the final Chapter of Danganronpa Another. [3]
Personality[]
Sora is an amnesiac girl who was roped into participating in the "Killing School Trip" set in the Isle of Nowhere. Perhaps due to her desire to find her memories, Sora is a very curious girl with a somewhat blunt way of speaking. Even with this way of talking, Sora cares a great amount for her friends, and is seen trying to calm them down quite a bit. Underneath her cold exterior, she can be very anxious at times.[4]
History[]
Killing Game[]
Chapter 1[]
Sora would be one of the last students to wake up from her unconsciousness, her first waking up at the beach while Yuki had offered to help her. After talking to him, they would both find out Sora was currently suffering from amnesia, thus leading her to not know her name nor her talent. Both Yuki and Sora would agree that they had needed to look for clues. Immediately, Sora would take notice of the Monocruise, commenting that it could hold at least a thousand people. Continuing their investigations, Sora and Yuki would go around the island investigating the places on the island, as well as introducing themselves to the other participants.
Soon Sora and Yuki would return to the beach area, collecting the other participants to meet them there as well. Setsuka would soon make the suggestion of going for a swim in the ocean, recalling that there had been swimsuits in the supermarket that would be able to be borrowed. Sora would be against the idea however, but would be outspoken by the others with everyone excluding Mikado, Kokoro, Yoruko, Emma, Yuki, Shobai, and herself going into the water. Soon Yuki would say he would go into the water, though when doing so everyone would lose consciousness.
After waking up an anonymous announcement would play, directing everyone to the Centre Park. At arrival, Monocrow would appear. Mikado announces that the animatronic is evil. He explains that he is a part of an organization known as Void and is there to protect everyone. Suddenly, Mikado is shot. The students find two figures standing behind them who regard Mikado as evil. They explain they are a part of the Kisaragi Foundation, an organization dedicated to ridding the world of despair while searching for survivors. Regarding Mikado, the female of the pair explains that Mikado is a criminal who has been on the run as well as the mastermind of their current death game. The wizard agrees after unleashing a wave of flames amongst the crowd.
He then states that there is a number limit for the game, and 17 is over it. He then sets the woman on fire where she burns to death. The remaining male is then launched into the sky. The students fall into shock while Monocrow continues to try and explain the rules. Shobai asks him that if he kills someone he would be able to escape, Monocrow agrees. In response to this, Shobai would lunge at Yuki with a knife in hand. However, Sora would block the knife from hitting Yuki with her instead getting stabbed in his place. Sora would soon lose consciousness.
The next day, Sora would wake up in the infirmary area while Yoruko would speak to her. It'd be said that Shobai had treated her wound while she was unconscious due to him being the only person with medical knowledge. Yoruko, after becoming flustered due to Sora thanking her, exits and room and heads towards the diner. On her way out, Sora runs into Shobai who apologizes and calls them even. However, she disagrees and only would accept his apology after learning his name and talent. Shobai then explained who he was and what he did before leaving.
Sora enters the dining hall where all but Shobai and the missing Mikado try and talk about their investigation. Once noticing her presence, the others welcome her back before filling her in on what they have found. Hibiki mentions how they couldn't trust Shobai as they were in a death game. Suddenly, the mood turns sour but Yuki tries to cheer the others up. Monocrow then appears on a monitor and says he begs to differ. He also mentions how he wants everyone to meet up at the park.
During the next day, Sora would help Setsuka, Hajime, Yuki, Emma and Yoruko set up the party for the other participants. The party would soon start with most of the participants around during this time. When awoken the next day, Sora would start to investigate once again. She would run into Yuki however, who had just gotten an 'in danger' message from Yuri. Together they would run to the Bell Tower where they would discover an injured Yuri. Sora and Yuki would offer to take out the hooks, but Yuri would argue against this. He would soon be pulled into the bell, with the rope connected to him being cut, causing him to fall to his death. They would soon discover Yuri was dead, also finding Yoruko at the crime scene.

During the trial Sora would be able to discover that Hajime had killed Yuri by several factors: Hajime being the only one who would be able to survive the fall; him being one of the few who had helped prepare the party; and Hajime being recalled to have been with Yuri after the party. Soon he would be executed with everyone leaving the trial room.
At the beach area, Sora would discover a washed up Teruya, the head of Kisaragi Foundation's Financial Department. After Monocrow takes him away, Sora would head back to the Monocruise.
A Woman's Fantasy[]
Not too long before the party, Setsuka would send Sora, Yoruko and Iroha telling them to meet at the bathhouse, claiming she had discovered a clue that she had wanted to share to them all. The four would soon start to countdown from 'three', though Setsuka would soon push the three other students into the bathhouse, locking them inside of it. Inside the bathhouse are all the boys who are bathing. The girls, just as embarrassed as the boys, break free from the room.
Chapter 2[]
The following day, she would go to the dining hall, where Nikei would suspect her due to her memory loss. After Iroha stops the discussion, they decide to leave the dining hall. Sora then asks Yuki about Shinji, who tells her to check on him herself.
When it's almost nighttime, she decides to go out, and finds Shobai smoking. During a small conversation between the two, Sora hears Yuki and Shinji talking, afterwards, she receives a message in her student handbook in which Shinji was asking everyone to meet in the 1st floor auditorium. When everyone meets at the destination, Shinji explains that even if some of them held Void members, they must help them instead of pushing them away, which would be the perfect solution for their problems and to get out of this island.
Not a moment later, and despite being uninvited, Mikado arrives with Teruya, with the latter being gagged, tied, and blindfolded. Mikado then states that Teruya was one of the survivors of the previous Killing Game, and that he will join this Killing Game as a homeroom teacher, before swiftly leaving in a flash of red, to which Kokoro takes Teruya away immediately after.

The next day, Sora would wake up on Yoruko's calls, where said female told her to come with her to see the beautiful view of the sea with the Monocruise sailing to the next island. Not sooner after this with a while, the remaining participants land on the next island, which resembles a Shinto Shrine of sorts and a mix of museums and compounds.

Sora, alongside Emma, Iroha, and Yoruko would be then dragged by Setsuka to the changing room to make a 'Costume Party', with Sora wearing a costume that made her resemble a ghost, which turned extremely realistic thanks to Emma's make up skills.
At nighttime, Sora and Setsuka would accidentally pass by the girl's bathroom, overhearing Hibiki and Kanade talking to each other, with Hibiki tearfully telling Kanade that she wants to trust everyone, but she can't, to which Setsuka immediately interfered, telling her not to worry about it, and suggesting that they should hold a concert, to which Hibiki agreed with little hesitation.
Two days afterwards, Sora would attend Kanade and Hibiki's concert in the middle of the second island, unaware of Emma and Kokoro's conversation backstage.
After the concert ended, everyone witnessed Emma holding an unconscious Kokoro, claiming that she passed out due to high fever, to which the girls helped Kokoro to her room, and Emma was the last to leave, stealing both of Kokoro's thumb finger and her student handbook to enter her room when everyone was asleep in order to murder her.
The next day, Sora and Yoruko, alongside Teruya would enter Kokoro's room to check up on her, only to see Shobai with her, who stated that she had some weird disease that forced her to be mute and unable to walk, to which Shobai testified to it, before leaving the room shortly after. For the next few days, Kokoro, who was actually Emma in disguise, would request meals at certain times to cover an alibi for herself while slowly killing Kokoro, who was in the refrigerator, slowly freezing to death.
One day, Sora and Yoruko noticed that Kokoro didn't take her breakfast meal, to which it made them completely anxious, only for Monocrow to appear, before unlocking the door to Kokoro's room, and once he did so, Sora, alongside Yoruko and Teruya, saw the horrifying image of Kokoro's naked frozen body, with her hands and feet having been removed.
Beginning the investigation, Sora would notice icicles inside the refrigerator, which was set into flash freeze mode, where Kanade would note that this was a dying message from the victim, namely Kokoro, which would later be the key to solve the murder case.
One hour before the beginning of the Class Trial, Sora and Iroha would meet up with Shobai, and when Sora asks the male as to why he wasn't searching for clues for the case with them, he merely shrugged it off, stating that he doesn't need to do so, considering the fact that he already knows who killed Kokoro from the very beginning before the murder was even established. Shobai would then tell the two girls that he would take a nap, asking Iroha to wake him up when the Class Trial begins.

In the Class Trial, Sora, with the aid of both Kanade and Shobai, would uncover Emma as the murderer of Kokoro due to both the dying message that Kokoro left in the refrigerator, and the false diagnosis that Emma, who was disguised as Kokoro at that time, told Shobai to testify with it for her, leading to the execution of Emma, concluding the second case.
Chapter 3[]
While dreaming, Sora would remember the appearances of Yuri, Hajime, Kokoro and Emma, and their horrifying death scenes, blaming herself on it, and stating that this was punishment for her. Suddenly, another voice inside their head stated that she doesn't deserve to say these words, as she had done worse than that. Hence, she doesn't deserve to feel that hope due to the sins that she has committed. Before asking any further around this topic, Sora was awakened by the morning announcement, as well as the notice of Monocrow, which stated that the Monocruise will sail to another island of Utsuroshima due to the end of the 2nd Class Trial.[5]
Waking up from her bed, Sora fell in shock and confusion upon realizing that tears were running down her face. Shrugging this off for the meantime, Sora went down to the dining room to get something to eat for breakfast, only to be startled by the sound of hammering. Looking at its source, Sora found it to be Shinji, Teruya and Yuki hammering some wood on the balcony located in the girl's floor in the Monocruise, which was Shinji's idea to prevent anyone from going out of the Monocruise at night to try to commit murder just like Hajime and Emma did. To which Sora agreed on before offering to help, where she stated that she is at least strong comparing herself to Yuki, much to the slight dismay of said male, who preferred to stay silent, where Teruya agreed on Sora helping them blocking the balcony door, despite Shinji's protest to it.[5]
After they finished blocking the balcony door, Sora, alongside the 3 boys, went down to the dining room, only to be greeted by Yoruko, Hibiki, Kanade and Iroha, where Yoruko greeted Sora, and Hibiki complaining about the others being late, as the food got cold from them waiting, to which Teruya defended by stating that they helped Shinji with a plan. Iroha then stated the absence of Setsuka and Nikei, where they were the only ones that didn't come to the dining room. Yoruko shrugged off Nikei's absence, stating that he is hopeless, to which Shinji asked for the reason, only for Hibiki to angrily state that Nikei said that he will never get along with them, and that he suspects the same from them. On that note, Sora stated that Nikei did state that he will work solo, to which an annoyed Yoruko replied that Nikei isn't the only one that was scared from the Void members. Yuki then stated that this was what resulted in more victims, confusing Yoruko, to which Yuki replied that he was nervous and didn't mean it that way, where the tension was shut off by Iroha, who told everyone present in the dining room that they were here to eat.[5]
After eating without the presence of Nikei, Mikado, Shobai and Setsuka, Hibiki asked about what Sora and the 3 boys were doing, where Sora answered by stating that they were closing up the 4th floor balcony by Shinji's request. Sora then would hear Kanade stating that they should also block the front gate, since Hajime exited the Monocruise through the frontal gate even before the balcony was opened. Shinji responded by his own idea: Checking the number of people inside of the Monocruise before nighttime, where Sora completely agreed on his idea. Kanade then stated that this method would only prevent murder at nighttime, not at daytime, but everyone agreed nevertheless, before noticing Setsuka's unusual absence, since she used to be the first one to be up in the morning before the others, where Sora voiced out the possibility that Setsuka overslept.[5]
Tension soon started to rise when Yuki voiced out the theory that Setsuka might be a Void member, much to Hibiki's anger and dismay. This made Sora ask the male if something is bothering him, since he wasn't himself ever since yesterday, to which Yuki replied rudely by asking what is being 'like himself?', to which Hibiki yelled his name with anger. Shinji then intervened, stating that he knows how Yuki feels, where Kanade added salt to the wound by stating that their previous plan of making the Void members side with them through friendship has failed, and that Emma was a prime example of this. Shinji then stated his other plan: To find out what is causing the members of Void among them to be so desperate to kill, to which Yuki darkly replied by stating that it was just another 'armchair theory', before stating that they are in no state to help the Void members, as they can't even save their own lives from being killed by them, and that they can't find a way out of Utsuroshima.
This attitude and dark words caused everyone to fall in shock and disbelief, but Shinji then replied by stating that it was Yuki who said that they should think positively, before demanding Yuki of an idea of his own, which Yuki replied negatively, much to Shinji's annoyance at Yuki's sudden dark attitude. Hibiki tried to tease Yuki to lighten the mood, only for Yuki to turn back to his dark attitude, asking how can everyone around him laugh off such a serious matter, before telling Shinji that he envies his positive attitude, before stating that he is just a normal, talent-less person, who just got the title of the Ultimate Lucky Student through just one lucky chance, and that due to his fear, he doesn't sleep at night, before he yelled out the fact that he thinks that Nikei is the only one reasonable in them with his mindset of working solo.[5]
This led Shinji to snap, dropping his smile for the first time, before stating that he was smiling because he had to, as he is a firefighter, and his job is to save people, so he should never show fear or anxiety, but that didn't mean that he wasn't scared. This led Yuki to apologize, before Sora herself stated that Yuki didn't look like himself ever since yesterday, and he should take a little rest while the Monocruise is sailing to the next island, before they continued eating.[5]
After finishing her breakfast, Sora went out, only to see Setsuka lost in thought, where the elder female asked if they had breakfast, to which Sora confirmed, stating that they waited for her for a long time, causing Setsuka to state that she had some business to attend. When Sora asked of what kind of business is this, the billiard player stated that it was a secret, before changing the topic by stating that she will have late breakfast, biding Sora farewell, where Sora herself felt something off with Setsuka, but decided not to ask any further.[5]
The next day, Sora woke up early, and went to the diner, where she nearly bumped into Nikei on her way. She then called out to Nikei, stating that she hasn't seen him since 2 days ago at the 2nd Class Trial, where Nikei just remained silent, before he went by her, and did not stop despite her calling for him. She then called out to him, stating that his pants are undone, causing Nikei to flinch, before Sora told he that she was joking, much to the male's annoyance. Sora took this as a chance to talk to Nikei, trying to sway him to their side, to which he immediately declined, but stated that he could perhaps trust them if they found who are the Void members, before leaving. Shrugging this off for the meantime, Sora decided to head to the diner for now.[6]
Entering the diner, Sora found Teruya, who was surprised to see her awake this early, to which Sora shot the same question at him, where Teruya answered by the fact that he couldn't sleep, before Sora decided that they should talk a little. She then noticed that the food was already prepared by Mikado, to which Teruya confirmed, stating that Mikado is the perfect 'househusband', but he was the mastermind behind all of this after all. Teruya then changed the topic by apologizing that he couldn't help them as an upperclassman, or as a survivor of the previous Killing Game, which made Sora say that he doesn't have to apologize, and that it wasn't his fault. Teruya then stated that all that he can do is to wait for Rei and those in the Kisaragi Foundation to save them, where Sora stated that Rei is already dead, which Teruya confirmed, stating that he has already accepted Rei's death. He then stated to Sora that there was another comrade that he didn't quite remember, and that he is the leader of the Kisaragi Foundation, and that he will come to save them. Sora then comforted Teruya, telling him that he doesn't have to take responsibility for this, but Teruya denied this, saying that as an upperclassman, he has to protect them at all costs. The morning announcement then played, and Teruya apologized for being weird, to which Sora waved it off.[6]
The next day, Sora woke up a few moments before the morning announcement, before it played, with Monocrow stating that they have arrived at the next island, and that all students must gather at the auditorium for Monocrow to explain the details about the third island to them.[6]
A few minutes late, Sora arrived last at the auditorium, with Yoruko noting that Mikado disappeared ever since the 2nd Class Trial, to which Sora replied to by stating that he was probably doing something useless again, and that she wished that he would disappear forever. Monocrow then explained the features of the third island: A gigantic theme park which goes by the name of Satsuki Land, where Sora noticed Teruya snap his head on the name, asking him what happened. Where Teruya himself felt a slight headache upon hearing the name of the theme park. Monocrow then continued his explanation by stating that to enter the gate of the theme park, a student has to use their Student Handbook, and if they didn't pass through the gate, they will be regarded as violating the school rules.

Talent & Abilities[]
Ultimate ???[]
Sora awakens on the island with amnesia, and is unable to remember her ultimate talent. The title "Super High School Level ???" continues up until Chapter Six, where it is revealed that she has the memories of the Ultimate Maid, Akane Taira, but they are two separate people.
Creation and Development[]
Sora was one of the first characters designed for Super Danganronpa Another 2, initially designed in a notebook then later scanned into Linuj’s computer. Originally her design had borne a stronger resemblance to Akane Taira from Danganronpa Another, but it was then later changed for this same reason and likely also for her plot in the game. Despite this Linuj states that not much but the hairstyle changed[3].
In her original design Sora had hair tied up into a high ponytail, held up by a scrunchie, with two side-bangs and an ahoge, a shirt that strongly resembles the one used in the finalized the design however then baring a shirt pocket, and lastly a skirt with a more frilly part to it[3].
According to LINUJ, Sora is described as an “ambiguous person to call the protagonist”, otherwise considering Yuki Maeda to be the main character overall. Worried that people hadn’t grown on Sora at the time, Chapter Four was planned to try changing that by having Sora be a part of the murder plan and causing a reaction in the group once this fact is revealed- specifically, in Linuj’s words, in an “I believed in this person” type of scenario. In the original writing of Chapter Four, before it was later changed in its development, Sora’s character had the possibility to change. Since the change however that wasn’t made possible, meaning what would’ve happened to her character after this chapter was left ambiguous[3].
Trivia[]
- With 840 votes, Sora ranked first in SDRA2's popularity poll[7].
- According to Sora's character profile, LINUJ believes that her execution in Chapter 5 is the best among the ones he created[3].
- If Sora, Setsuka, and Yoruko went nail painting together, they would all choose their own colours; Sora (transparent), Setsuka (Sky blue), Yoruko (hot pink)[4].
- LINUJ imagines Sora has a similar voice to Hitagi Senjogahara from NISIOISIN, or Kanade Tachibana from Angel Beats[8].
- If you could do Free Time Events with Sora, she would like the gifts; Americano and Various Clothing. She would love the Maid Uniform gift[8].
