She doesn't use any form of rationalization to convince herself that she is justified in harming others; the pure enjoyment she gets from doing so is reason enough.<\/p>\n\nWith that said, Hoshiko understands the importance of keeping her urges and actions secret from others, so she has mastered the art of being a social chameleon and pretending to be a normal, well-adjusted person.

When Hoshiko and the rest of the bullies are ganging up on a victim, Hoshiko often tries to convince the other bullies to do things like burn their victim with lit cigarettes. The other bullies always have to talk her out of it.

Yandere Simulator's story takes place during Ayano's 2nd year at Akademi. During the previous year, there were five students at Akademi who were subjected to severe bullying. The school faculty was informed about the bullying, but none of the victims were able to provide concrete evidence that the bullying had been taking place, so the faculty refused to take action. The bullying eventually became so severe that the victims were considering a suicide pact. However, before this could take place, the victims witnessed something extraordinary that saved them from a self-destructive path.<\/p>\n\n
One day, outside of the entrance to the school, the bullied victims witnessed one of their fellow students - Osoro Shidesu - single-handedly fight off a group of violent aggressors from another school. Against all odds, Osoro actually managed to defeat all of her opponents, despite their superior numbers. Instantly, Osoro became an icon to them - a physical embodiment of the idea that a single person can stand against a group of tormentors and prevail. From that day forward, the bullied victims idolized Osoro.<\/p>\n\n
Osoro had demonstrated that violence was a viable solution to their problems, and that a fearsome reputation would keep their enemies away. The five bullied students began imitating Osoro; they started acting gruff, unfriendly, and standoffish, exactly like her. They dyed their hair blonde, just like hers. They styled their hair to give themselves the appearances of rebellious punks, and began carrying long, blunt objects at all times. They began showing up late to class, disrespecting faculty members, and so forth.<\/p>\n\n
Those five boys were originally targeted by bullies because they were the meekest students at school - and now they had become the exact opposite. Needless to say, the bullying stopped...but at a cost. The rest of the students at school began to fear them and avoid them, referring to them as \"the delinquents.\" This was exactly what they wanted; they'd much rather be feared and hated than be bullied and victimized. However, the faculty and the headmaster began to view them as a growing problem.<\/p>\n\n
The headmaster refused to accept the presence of delinquents at a prestigious school like Akademi. In a faculty meeting, he announced that he was going to expel them all, including Osoro, purely for being a negative influence. However, the guidance counselor stopped him. She regretted not stepping in and taking action while they were being bullied, and insisted on being given a chance to reform the delinquents, rather than simply expelling them without trying anything else first.<\/p>\n\n
The guidance counselor and the headmaster were able to reach an agreement: the faculty and the student council will tolerate the delinquents' behavior for a period of 10 weeks, and give the counselor a chance to reform them. However, this arrangement comes at a cost: if the counselor is unable to reform the delinquents within 10 weeks, she will be dismissed from the school.<\/p>\n\n
The counselor recognized that it would be difficult to reform the delinquents while their biggest influence - Osoro - was still present at school. The next time that Osoro slipped up, the counselor expelled her for a period of 8 weeks.<\/p>\n\n
Will the counselor be able to reform the delinquents before the deadline? Only time will tell.<\/p>","illustrator":"Mulberry","illustratorUrl":"https:\/\/www.deviantart.com\/mulberryart","groups":["Groups"],"images":[{"url":"\/img\/characters\/delinquents-full.png","thumb":"\/img\/characters\/delinquents.png","name":"Group"},{"url":"\/img\/characters\/eye-full.png","thumb":"\/img\/characters\/eye.png","name":"Umeji"},{"url":"\/img\/characters\/cheek-full.png","thumb":"\/img\/characters\/cheek.png","name":"Hokuto"},{"url":"\/img\/characters\/forehead-full.png","thumb":"\/img\/characters\/forehead.png","name":"Gaku"},{"url":"\/img\/characters\/nose-full.png","thumb":"\/img\/characters\/nose.png","name":"Hayanari"},{"url":"\/img\/characters\/mouth-full.png","thumb":"\/img\/characters\/mouth.png","name":"Dairoku"}]},{"name":"Student Council","role":"Authority","status":"Active","personality":"Strict","appearance":"Week 1","weakness":"?????","description":"
Megami Saikou, the Student Council President, strives for excellence in all things. She settles for nothing less than the best, so has put together a student council comprised of the most elite students in school.<\/p>\n\n
Kuroko Kamenaga was the school's previous student council president. She was defeated by Megami in the most recent student council election. However, Megami acknowledged that Kuroko was the second-best person for the job, and offered her the role of vice president. Kuroko accepted the offer.<\/p>\n\n
While Megami is absent from school, Kuroko is in charge of Megami's presidential duties. In short, Kuroko fills the role of student council president while Megami is gone. Kuroko is known for being formal at all times, which is reflected in the way she stands, walks and speaks.<\/p>\n\n
Akane Toriyasu is the Secretary of the student council. She's known for her gentle and friendly personality, but is also known for being a bit of an airhead - which makes it a mystery why Megami decided to appoint her to the Student Council.<\/p>\n\n
As one of the most beautiful girls in school, Akane has a very large number of male admirers. often, her presence alone is enough to diffuse a troublesome situation. Perhaps this may be part of the reason why Megami decided to include her on the Student Council.<\/p>\n\n
Aoi Ryugoku is the Enforcer of the Student Council. That means her job is to maintain peace throughout the school. She is a very physically imposing person, so it's no mystery why Megami chose her for this position. However, she's been known to take her job a little too seriously.<\/p>\n\n
There are a handful of students at school who hide one of their eyes for some personal reason, but Aoi is currently the only student who is 100% confirmed to actually be missing an eye. As of now, there are only two students at school who know how Aoi lost her eye.<\/p>\n\n
Shiromi Torayoshi is the treasurer of the student council. She's a peculiar young woman whose intentions are never clear. She is known for smiling at almost every hour of the day, in every type of situation, which is unsettling to some students.<\/p>\n\n
Shiromi is an enigma; very few students know anything about her. Just about the only thing that anyone knows for certain is that she is very eccentric, and takes pleasure in performing harmless pranks on other students.<\/p>\n\n
Megami has reason to believe that there is \"a dangerous person\" on school grounds, so she has warned the Student Council to be extremely cautious over the next 10 weeks, and has authorized them to carry pepper spray on school grounds. As a result of Megami's warning, the Student Council are much more alert than other students, and will bust out a can of pepper spray at the slightest sign that their lives may be in danger.<\/p>","illustrator":"Mulberry","illustratorUrl":"https:\/\/www.deviantart.com\/mulberryart","groups":["Groups"],"images":[{"url":"\/img\/characters\/council-full.png","thumb":"\/img\/characters\/council.png","name":"Council"},{"url":"\/img\/characters\/goddess-full.png","thumb":"\/img\/characters\/goddess.png","name":"President"},{"url":"\/img\/characters\/turtle-full.png","thumb":"\/img\/characters\/turtle.png","name":"Vice President"},{"url":"\/img\/characters\/bird-full.png","thumb":"\/img\/characters\/bird.png","name":"Secretary"},{"url":"\/img\/characters\/dragon-full.png","thumb":"\/img\/characters\/dragon.png","name":"Enforcer"},{"url":"\/img\/characters\/tiger-full.png","thumb":"\/img\/characters\/tiger.png","name":"Treasurer"}]},{"name":"Midori","role":"Student","status":"Alive","personality":"Inquisitive","appearance":"Week 1","weakness":"Herself","description":"

From 1985 to 1988, police were perplexed by a string of seemingly unsolvable murders taking place in Tokyo. After each murder, the police received an anonymous letter from a man who claimed responsibility for the crimes, and spelled the name of his next victim using a complicated cipher.<\/p>\n\n
Eventually, the police started releasing the killer's letters to the public in the hopes that someone would be able to solve the killer's cipher and decode the name of his next victim. While attending Akademi in 1988, Sonoko Sakanoue started studying the killer's cipher as a hobby.<\/p>\n\n
After many long nights, Sonoko cracked the code and figured out killer's cipher. She was then able to warn the police who the killer was planning to kill next. After this, the police acknowledged her as a prodigy who could potentially help them solve the case, and formally requested her assistance with the investigation, even granting her access to the crime scenes and evidence.<\/p>\n\n
Sonoko discovered several new clues and put together some puzzle pieces that the police weren't able to figure out on their own, which eventually led to the arrest of the serial killer. If it wasn't for her help, the killer might have taken dozens of lives before he was eventually caught.<\/p>\n\n
Once her accomplishments were announced to the public, Sonoko instantly became a national celebrity, and was interviewed by countless talk shows and magazines.<\/p>\n\n
The primary reason to attend Akademi is to further one's changes of a successful career. However, Sonoko's accomplishments had already done more for her future career than Akademi ever could, so remaining at Akademi was pointless. Sonoko withdrew from the school without graduating and launched directly into a career as a junior detective. Over the course of the next 12 months, she would help the police solve numerous high-profile crimes.<\/p>\n\n
One day, while investigating a crime, Sonoko encountered an investigative journalist who provided her with information that helped her solve the case. Sonoko was so impressed with the journalist's investigative abilities that she asked him to take her as his apprentice.<\/p>\n\n
Sonoko and the journalist worked together as a crime-solving duo, leading to the arrests of numerous criminals. The journalist preferred to stay out of the spotlight, willfully letting Sonoko take all the credit.<\/p>\n\n
One day, Sonoko's mentor asked her to return to Akademi - but not to finish her education. He wanted her to investigate the possibility that a serial killer was present at Akademi, killing any girl who attempted to get close to a specific boy.<\/p>\n\n
Sonoko accepted the job, and has come up with a plan to determine whether or not anyone is sabotaging the boy's love life...<\/p>","illustrator":"Mulberry","illustratorUrl":"https:\/\/www.deviantart.com\/mulberryart","groups":["Eighties"],"images":[{"url":"\/img\/characters\/eighties-10-full.png","thumb":"\/img\/characters\/eighties-10.png","name":""}]},{"name":"Kiyoko Tatsuhara","role":"?????","status":"?????","personality":"?????","appearance":"?????","weakness":"?????","description":"

Mr. Rokuda loans money at extremely high interest rates, and often uses threats of violence to collect debts. His interest rates are well above the established legal rate, but legal loopholes are used to avoid encountering problems with law enforcement.
