"There are various debates regarding what actually constitutes talent and how it can be nurtured and utilized; however, simply mastering a craft better than others does not guarantee a path to success—the journey remains arduous, and Valentina understands this all too well. At just 22, she is the co-founder of a company that produces and sells jewelry and ornaments nationwide, serving as the lead designer and blending tradition with innovation to create beautiful pieces featuring obsidian, turquoise, coral, and more. With the support of a local journalist, her reputation grew, and the once-obscure designer soon rose to prominence, becoming a standout figure worthy of an "Ultimate" title. For someone who had to overcome so many obstacles and face the uncertainty of her chosen career path, Valentina García is certainly doing remarkably well, isn't she? Or... is something amiss?"
• Likes: Drinking with her friends, shiny objects, comedy movies, and conversations about romance.
• Dislikes: Exhaustion, feeling incapacitated, loneliness, and greasy foods.
• Valentina is fun to be around; while she might appear serious in settings with strangers, she becomes far more enthusiastic and playful with those she likes, easily making friends. She also enjoys teasing people as a way to bond and share a laugh. In contrast to her fun-loving, chaotic side, she is highly focused on her business affairs, demonstrating great analytical skill and resilience when the situation demands it—yet she is also naturally introspective and a perfectionist regarding herself, sometimes a lot, often prioritizing her responsibilities over her own well-being or judging herself for small mistakes. She is undoubtedly a beautiful, resilient gem, though one that still needs to be polished with a gentler touch.
"Empires are built gradually; they are formed by a succession of events that converge at a single point—sometimes sparked by the initiative of just one person. You were the initial spark that gave rise to your current empire, and now you are part of this vast system, now here you are, a piece in this game. I cannot say much about this place, but the gem known as your heart will certainly undergo long processes here, and it is up to you to decide if you are ready to face another battle."
• She frequently wears many of the pieces of jewelry and ornaments she produces herself or those from other companies; she loves shiny things, so gold pieces—such as rings and bracelets—feature prominently on her, especially on her right arm. She also often wears silver necklaces and earrings set with obsidian, items that are widely produced in her businesses.
• Most of the time, she is busy creating new jewelry and ornament designs or handling the company's administrative side as a co-founder—tasks that drain her energy and take up much of her time. However, whenever she can, she loves meeting up with friends at clubs or bars to talk and have a drink; at times, she can get quite out of hand and go overboard, leading to situations that are both entertaining and troublesome for her friends.
• Valentina becomes incredibly intense around trusted friends—provided they allow for enough intimacy—and is especially insistent when she needs a favor; yet, she remains a mature, emotionally intelligent person who can sense when something is wrong with those she loves. Talking to her is truly liberating, as she is a great listener, though she can also be a menace to society when she feels comfortable and chaotic enough around those she trusts—even if her friends might occasionally get a little annoyed with her, lol.
• She likes giving nicknames to others, finding it makes them easier to remember and helps build friendlier relationships, just as she enjoys having a nickname herself; the most common one is "Lina," which she finds practical, easy to pronounce, and cute.
• The item she was allowed to keep during her time in the game is a small wooden box, secured by silver chains, containing notes about future goals that Valentina wrote to herself when she was still a child.
I've been thinking about doing fanganronpa art requests for a while so I'll be opening up my ask box. Feel free to request what fanganronpa character you'd like me to draw (either in the sprite or splash art style)! <(￣︶￣)>
(P.S., I'll most likely respond late due to school.)
Good morrow, greater internet, it is I, the brilliant, great, fantastic- other adjectives may apply- Gris Monteau, at thy service.
Currently, I’m in my first year at Hope’s peak overseas building, alongside my classmates, doing college courses and such. Saw a few other ultimates on this hell- I mean, web sits, and figured I’d dabble a little in the goings-on. Worry thee not, my powers of amazing brilliance can solve ANY issue whatsoever! Kidding, I don’t care enough for that.
• Designated as the "Ultimate Environmental Engineer"
• Pronouns: she/her • Height: 5'9"
• Age: 19 • Birthday: March 9th
• Brazilian
"Ayana Silva de Oliveira—or simply Aya—is a figure of immense importance to environmental conservation debates and projects in her country, despite her youth; she has gained national recognition for her academic excellence and her constructive, protective vision regarding natural resources and biodiversity. Although she began studying environmental engineering only two years ago, her competence has already earned her an opportunity to study abroad and one of the sixteen highly coveted "Ultimate" titles. Yet, behind these achievements lies a woman who draws attention for her reserved, reclusive nature and her refusal to speak directly about her family. What lies beneath the brilliance of this resilient woman? We may never know, or perhaps the key is far more apparent than it seems."
• Likes: Brazilian cuisine, forests, dogs, and volleyball
• Dislikes: Smoke, centipedes, cigarettes, and journalists
• Ayana is a reserved, introverted girl who rarely engages in group activities or attempts to form bonds with others; she also displays little emotion, leading people to perceive her as cold. She prefers the company of nature to that of people, spending significant amounts of time immersed in the natural world. Her greatest qualities are undoubtedly her sharp intuition and her determination—which remains unshakable even in the direst moments. Although socializing is not her strong suit, Aya possesses a natural impulse to help when she feels it is necessary, as well as a strong moral compass, refusing to do anything that goes against her ethical and moral values. These qualities make her a person of strong personality and values; furthermore, her background as an environmental engineer gives her a critical and innovative perspective on the scenarios around her, and she is surprisingly skilled at teamwork and communication when these lead to achieving the desired results for herself and her group.
"Having the willpower to start over and uphold your moral values is certainly a difficult task, especially in such an unjust world. The arduous journey you have endured to reach this point is admirable, Ms. Aya; yet, sometimes one must go against one's own nature to survive, and those who fail to understand this are trampled like tiny ants. Remember that."
• The flower that represents her is a pink hibiscus.
• A huge fan of cooking, she frequently cooks for herself and often tries out new recipes when she is bored. She enjoys savory foods—especially meat—and has a deep appreciation for the cuisine of her home country; she has missed its traditional dishes ever since traveling abroad to study.
• She isn't particularly sociable and prefers to keep to herself; however, she is quite assertive and cooperative when necessary—to the point of acting completely differently. She is also capable of casual conversation and relaxes more when in the company of just one person. On the other hand, she is far from defenseless and knows very well how to stand her ground against those who try to make her lose her composure.
• She doesn't like being photographed or filmed—even though it happens frequently at meetings—and she dislikes reporters, finding them quite intrusive and annoying. That is one of the reasons she isn't very fond of River, often shooting side-eyes at him and, especially, at his camera.
• The item she was permitted to keep during her stay in the game is a small, rustic dagger with a leather sheath—a souvenir from an important academic trip to another region of her home country.
