hello i saw your post about your danganronpa oc and they look really cool ! may we pretty please hear their lore ?

HI! yes you may hear about her! I'm not really done figuring out all her lore but I'd be happy to tell you everything I've got right now! I'll try my best not to include too much complicated idol fan language.

first I need to explain her talent! unsurprisingly, it's idol related. she's the shsl wota, but because the word wota isn't used outside of idol circles I might just switch it to "idol fan". also wota would probably be localized as "stan" which is a scary thought.

Kokoa (full name 一色心愛 Isshiki Kokoa) is very popular online for her dedication to idols, both real and fictional. She buys all of their CDs, their merch, their penlights¹, everything she can get her hands on! She's a very sweet girl that loves cheering on her favorite idols!

Or, at least it seems that way. In actuality, Kokoa's a very bitter person. She was alone for most of her childhood, so she convinced herself the world was rotten. She didn't need friends because everyone else was disgusting. They were inferior to her. But she still had to put on a mask of sorts. Her mother was always busy with work, but as long as Kokoa was the cute daughter she could show off, she'd be praised.

All of her moves became calculated. The way she spoke, the way she would walk, her body language, nothing was authentic anymore. But she still had to live with all the bitterness and hatred in her. That didn't go away no matter how many ribbons or frilly skirts she'd wear.

She thought nobody in the world could understand her. Only she understood how the world worked. Her mom could only pay attention to her when she was a good kid, a cute kid. So that's what she was.

One day, Kokoa was watching TV at home. She flipped to some variety show, just so she could have some background noise. But something caught her eye - a group of idols was next to the host. They were all wearing shiny outfits. They all had such a specific charm to them. In that moment, Kokoa finally felt drawn to someone. She didn't know why. She typically deemed everyone as "not worth her time", but something about these girls pulled her in.

She'd soon gain access to the internet, and in an attempt to learn more about this new idol group she just found out about, she went on forums dedicated to all kinds of j-pop groups. She really only lurked there. She'd find threads on her favorite group and skim through them, anything to know more about them. But a specific addition caught her eye. It's not one that got a lot of attention, but it changed her. "it's so funny to me how half the group is probably fake as shit, there's no way mimicchan is that obnoxious irl"

To anyone else, this would have been written off as a stupid rumor or a hate comment. Anyone else would have scrolled past and moved on with their day. But to Kokoa, this made her feel seen. If she had known idols were as fake as she was, she would have fallen in love sooner. This is when she knew it was time to get serious. Somehow, she'll let them (discreetly) know that she understands. They're the only people that share her mindset, so she should try to genuinely connect with them and them only.

Okay that's what I've got for her backstory. Sorry for the infodump! Also I just woke up and started writing this at 6 am so apologies if it's poorly written lol
