Danganronpa OC Reviews (CLOSED)

HotCat37 : Juro Katou

Name: Juro Katie
I like the name!

Gender: Female

Nationality: Japanese

Sexuality: Straight

Talent: Ultimate Painter
Interesting talent! I'd like to see how you portray her character, because the Painter talent is used often!

Personality: Juro is a fun and creative person. She tends to make a lot of jokes to lighten up the mood but often doesn't understand when to be serious. She's also pretty lazy and pretty much refuses to do anything that either doesn't interest her or makes her feel down. She does have an energetic side to her, when talking about art. She also gets really uncomfortable whenever someone is really angry at her and doesn't really know what to do then.
I like her personality! It's got a healthy mix of good and bad points and she's a very relatable character!

Appearance: Juro has somewhat short brown hair with a pink stripe going vertically through one of her locks (she dyed it there) and has hazel eyes. she wears a plain white t-shirt with neon blue and pink paint stains on it. she wears a rather short light blue skirt with mid-long pink leggings underneath. she wears white socks and wears yellow sneakers. (blue and pink are her main colours).
I love all the colours! I would like to see more of an original silhouette for her (if you look at Danganronpa the characters are planned so you know which character is which by just looking at a silhouette of them) Possibly add some accessories, give her an interesting hairstyle? Otherwise I really like her design!

Backstory: Juro grew up with her parents and two brothers. One was older and the other one was around her age. Her mother was really artistic and would often paint some things on the house's walls or she'd sew the curtains. At first, it really didn't interest Juro and she'd just ignore it. But after having an art teacher teach her how to paint at school, she learned she had a talent for painting. She decided to give it a try and started off with trying to sketch simple things on a blank paper. She really sucked at sketching, so she eventually gave up on trying that. Then she decided to take art lessons which mostly contained painting. She became drawn into painting in only a matter of weeks and started creating original artworks. She started an online blog where she'd post her paintings and eventually got a lot of fame. Trust's Peak's headmaster began following her on her blog saw the potential she had. Her parents and brothers were supportive of her when she received a letter from Trust's Peak. Her childhood was going really smoothly, with only one major thing happening to her. Her former best friend who was also in her art class, became incredibly jealous and one day just started shouting at her. After that, Juro had always felt incredibly uncomfortable whenever people got angry at her.
I really like her backstory! It's very simple and nice, and I love that she got noticed from her online presence! Maybe give a bit more detail to her friend yelling at her, though.

Reaction to seeing death: She might go a bit pale, feeling shocked that one of her friends would do something like killing. She'll try to stay calm and would probably not help out during the investigation. If the protagonist would ask her to help, or something else regarding the situation, she'd stubbornly refuse at first. But after the protagonist will give up and leave her alone, she'd feel guilty and do her statement anyways.
I like this! It suits her, however I feel like the stubbornness is a bit out of place? She doesn't seem to be stubborn at any other point.

How would she kill: Probably because of a motive or to protect her friends. She'd probably kill someone by crushing them with something heavy. She'll also leave fake clues behind and lead people towards the wrong directions during the investigation.
How would she crush them? It seems a bit of a random way, though it's a good way to keep her hands clean, haha.

Flaws: Her time to joke around is sometimes really inappropriate, she can be annoyingly stubborn when it comes to investigations and she often has bad eating habits.
I like her flaws!

Strengths: She can make people laugh in tough times, she's very creative so she can come up with some good ideas and she's very forgiving of people.

Extra Info: Blue and pink are the favourite colours of her brothers.

I like Juro's character! She's a really cool and relatable character!
