Sayaka Maizono. The Super-High School Level Idol. Well, she was... But that was before the despair hit. She should of never chosen to attend Hope's Peak. She should of just attended a public school like her mother wanted. She'd be normal if she went to a public school.
Since Maizono was such a popular figure in the Japanese media, her father demanded she'd go to a private school. Private schools are safer, of course. And the call for Maizono to attend Hope's Peak Private Academy sounded great to her father, leading to him demanding that she would attend the school.
She doesn't remember her first two years at the school. The two years of her life she loved oh-so much. She only remembers waking up in that classroom and finding the other students in her class. And she remembers that bear. Monobear. The bear who told the students to kill each other for his little game.
She also remembers the motive. The video shown to her by that damn bear, with all her friends dead around her. She had to get out of there. She had to save them. Monobear told the students that to graduate you must kill someone, so that was her plan.
Too bad her plan was cut short. On the day she planned to take action, Yasuhiro Hagakure went missing. Many believed he was murdered, and then shortly after, Celestia Lundenburg disappeared too. Did she kill Hagakure and graduate? Well, of course not. That would be too easy for their situation, wouldn't it? Kiyotaka Ishimaru disappeared too before she was taken.
Sayaka Maizono was Experiment number 4. The Super Lab Experiment Wind-Up Doll. She doesn't remember much of her transformation, except for the pain she was put through, and hearing the three masterminds, Junko, Muroko, and Monobear yell at each other. A lot.
She was forced into a cell. A stone prison under the school. The only interaction she could get was talking to Ishimaru in the next cell, or thanking Muroko for winding her up every morning and night.
One by one, the rest of the students were placed in the cells beyond Maizono's, each of them altered and destroyed. There were still many cells open. Tons. How many people did Junko have in this hellhole?
Then she heard it. Looking up to the cell door, Maizono would see Muroko, who urged her to get out quickly. She was... helping? A boy ran back Muroko, also letting the other experiments escape. Makoto Naegi. Super High-School Level Hope.
Maizono was full of hope during the escape, and then they found them. Junko and Monobear stopped the escape, and transformed Naegi and Muroko in the process.
Any hope left in Maizono disappear when she was forced back to her cell, and seeing Naegi transformed into a Monobear look-a-like. Everything was hopeless. Terrible. Very despair-inducing!
There was nothing left. Maizono just sat in her cell, staring at the floor. She didn't speak to Ishimaru anymore, and refused to thank Monobear for winding her up. She knew one day he would stop winding her up. She would die without her energy, and you know what? It was time for her to accept that.
Sayaka Maizono. Super Lab Experiment Wind-Up Doll. Full of despair. Her eyes twitched and her fingers trembled. The gear on her back spun around slowly, and the girl formed a smile. An eerie smirk. What followed completely erased her despair, because she opened her mouth and forced out;
