Character Name: Mitsuki Houyama
Series: Doubt
Timeline: Post-canon, a while after she's killed Yuu.
Canon Resource Link: Wikipedia | TVTropes
Character Background:
Mitsuki's childhood is exactly what one would expect from a child who has gone through the pain of losing one of their parents at a young age. She lived an ordinary life with her father, supposedly running away from home once directly after her mother's death but coming back after meeting Yuu, who promised to protect her and would then become her best friend. She also enjoyed doing silly things like every other child, such as watching her favorite show, Saimin Shoujo, obsessively and dancing along to the theme song. She went to school, hung out with Yuu, and eventually grew up.
It is during her teenage years that the real story begins.
It's a common story, sort of. People getting swindled into bankruptcy by someone they thought they could trust, and spiraling into depression once they see no way out--which is exactly what happened to Mitsuki's father. His own childhood friend decided that it would be fun to push him into co-signing, and once he did, her father was left with all the debt. Mitsuki thought that maybe if they were together, they could handle it like they had handled many other difficulties in the past, but before she knew it, it became too much for her father and he had attempted to take his own life.
Luckily, Mitsuki managed to find him before it was too late--or so she thought. In reality, her father had died long before she had found him, and that caused something within Mitsuki to snap and something else entirely to switch itself on. Apparently, something had caused her to convince herself that her father was still alive and was merely in a coma after attempting to hang himself, and that's what she told everyone around her. Even with this lie deeply engraved into her mind, however, she still had difficulty telling others about her situation. Even to her best friend, she couldn't find the moment or the way to tell him about this, and when she finally gathered up the courage to do this, he always ended up finding some sort of excuse to leave her because his parents had apparently told him to go home early.
Too bad this was a very big lie on his part, and this is where the plot comes in.
A few weeks later on the very same day before Mitsuki's birthday, she finds Yuu waiting in the middle of the street for a few friends of his, having seemingly forgotten her birthday. But that was alright, because she had also told him she was shopping with her father before running into him, and that was the truth as far as both of them were concerned. Once his friends show up, having arranged a real life meeting to play a game of Rabbit Doubt together, Mitsuki is invited to tag along, and despite feeling awkward about hanging out with a bunch of strangers, she decides to go with them after a bit of encouragement in the end. They all decide to go to a karaoke bar where they all get to know each other better, despite a small dispute and finding out that one of the girls there, Rei Hazama, was Saimin Shoujo herself--Mitsuki's own childhood idol. Hours go by, and the small group of five continues to have fun at the karaoke bar, one of them even drinking themselves sick, and the day would have continued to carry on like this, if not for the fact that all of them were suddenly knocked out and taken to an abandoned hospital where darker events would take place.
There, they encounter another member of their group, Hajime, who had failed to show up for their meeting but had also been knocked out and kidnapped at a different location. After a few disputes and the discovery of Rei's corpse nailed to a wall, they come to realize that they are now playing a live version of Rabbit Doubt, complete with bar-codes placed on different locations of their bodies. Accusations are thrown around, paranoia taking all of the players in until everyone was convinced that Yuu and Mitsuki were working together as the Wolf, due to documents of Mitsuki being found along with the ones that belonged to everyone else, when she had been there by what was supposedly an accident. Predictably, it didn't take long for the player count to start dropping one by one.
The first to go was Eiji, who had his hand cut off at the wrist, just above his bar-code, before being hung by the Wolf. His hand (which was carrying Rei's cellphone) would later be found by Yuu, who would use it to unlock the bathroom and get Mitsuki out of there, as she had been locked in by another player named Haruka. This, of course, led Mitsuki and Yuu to the conclusion that Hajime must be the real Wolf, as neither of them was guilty of murdering Eiji as Haruka had been seen on the surveillance cameras while Hajime had not.
After a series of events where they confront Hajime and suspicion of murdering Eiji is cast on Haruka due to a newspaper clipping they found, both Mitsuki and Yuu decide to go look for Haruka in order to be sure. While trying to open a door they had not touched before, Mitsuki takes a look at Rei's cellphone. Coincidentally, it immediately proceeds to go off with a call from a private number, and with some hope that it might be one of Rei's friends who would help them in some form or another, they pick up. However, after a moment of silence, the person on the other line finally speaks up. They say "for the one I love." Mitsuki recognizes the voice as Haruka, but it's too late. She hangs up as soon as Yuu takes the phone away from Mitsuki's hands.
The door they had been trying to pry open before suddenly unlocks itself, and they venture inside. Inside, they find another door, which would presumably finally take them outside of the abandoned hospital. Unfortunately, as they look around the room for any other clues and maybe some hint as to where Haruka might have gone off to, Mitsuki starts feeling lightheaded due to a wound she had acquired earlier and collapses on top of Yuu.
After having Hajime treat Mitsuki's wound as a temporary solution to her fever and strapping him down to a chair, Yuu decides to go search for more clues and a possible way out, leaving Mitsuki to rest in the meanwhile. Yuu goes back to the room he and Mitsuki had been looking around earlier, where he finds Haruka's decapitated head inside one of the rabbit masks inside that room. Thinking that Mitsuki was in danger, he runs back to the room where he had left her with Hajime only to find that it had been torn apart, and both of them were gone. However, when Yuu returns to the surveillance room to see if he can spot any of them through there, he spots something particularly interesting in one of the monitors. That is--Mitsuki's dead body; hung and impaled through the chest with a stake.
...But this couldn't be right, could it? No, because Mitsuki being dead means her history ends here, and it most certainly doesn't. Turns out that the real Wolf was Mitsuki all along, and this game was merely a revenge on part of her father, who didn't know how to doubt and was now suffering because of it. Mitsuki had resolved herself to take the liars out of the world one by one, just so her father could smile again. She had wanted this to be Yuu's chance to redeem himself, as well, to make up for that lie he had told her when she had wanted to talk about her father, but he screwed up pathetically. Yuu had lied about the fact that he had a bar-code, as Mitsuki hadn't given him one at all, and now she would have to hang him for being another filthy liar.
And Yuu's lie? Well, it was nothing more than him wanting to get something nice for Mitsuki on her birthday, but not knowing what to get for her. Because of this, he tells Mitsuki that his parents told him to go home early even though he was really just going off to meet with a classmate of theirs named Kei, to see if she could help him find something suitable. Unfortunately for him, bad communication kills and Mitsuki had spotted them sitting on a bench, happily discussing something. This causes that little something inside Mitsuki's head to click back into place again, and she decides to call Kei up to come over to her house at night. She then asks her about what she was doing earlier that day, and once Kei begins to obviously lie to her about it, Mitsuki is left with no other choice. She decides to hang Kei for being a liar, and then takes a few pictures of her corpse as proof.
After a series of events in which Yuu is almost hung himself, only barely managing to escape being murdered while dragging an unconscious Hajime with him, Mitsuki gleefully shows him the pictures of Kei she took as an explanation for why he was brought to the game in the first place. Still, when it seems like Mitsuki is about to kill him off, she loses her balance due to an injury she had received earlier and collapses on top of Yuu, accidentally slitting the side of her throat with a scalpel he had been carrying around with him. Reasonably freaked out about everything that was happening at the moment, Yuu then drags Mitsuki around while searching for an exit, since the Wolf's bar-code should be able to open any number of doors and get them all to safety.
Except, Mitsuki's bar-code only worked on the door she had opened first, all the way up on the second floor. She wasn't the real Wolf.
Turns out, Rei was pretty much alive and well, being the real Wolf and thus the one behind this whole game. Because she was called a sham and harassed by the media and everyone around her during her days as Saimin Shoujo, Rei had decided that it would only be fair if she used the very same hypnotism people had called fake to avenge her parents who had been driven into suicide from the pressure. During the last episode of Saimin Shoujo, Rei had placed a trigger inside of her act that would only reach those who felt the pain of loneliness from losing the ones they loved, just like her. This particular hypnotism would cause the person in question to come to her, to seek a new reason for living and something to ease the pain of losing that special someone, and Rei would indeed give them a hand. She would give them the salvation of the Wolf, and hypnotize them into turning those painful feelings into a thirst for revenge against everyone they blamed for causing them.
Now Mitsuki, having lost her mother as a child, was particularly susceptible to this little trigger Rei had placed. However, it wasn't until her father's suicide that it finally clicked into place--too numb to properly react to this and having lost her will to live, Mitsuki came to seek Rei, who would convert her into one of her Wolves and show her the way of revenge. Because of this, every time Mitsuki hears a cellphone ringtone followed by the phrase "for the one I love", she would turn into the perfect murderer, only to forget any heinous act she had committed as soon as it runs out. She would believe that her father, weak and recovering in the hospital, was calling her on her cellphone to give her orders to take revenge, and ever the obedient daughter Mitsuki would see no other option but to comply. That is how much she loved her father.
However, whenever she is near someone who rivals the love she has for her father, be it platonic or not, Rei's hypnotism wavers. And this is exactly what ruins her little game of Rabbit Doubt. Because Mitsuki could never bring herself to kill Yuu, always stopping seconds before decapitating him with an axe or stabbing him in the back with a stake, he managed to survive for much longer than Rei had intended, even ruining her backup plan of having him isolated from the rest of the group in the process. In the end, Rei had no other choice than to open the final door for them and to call the police to come and find them, and Mitsuki is promptly taken to the hospital and blamed for all of the events that had taken place.
Even though there were two witnesses of Mitsuki not being quite guilty for what happened, there was no proof of Rei ever being in the building and thus she was the only one to be blamed. Yuu continued to visit her in the hospital, although she continued to be unconscious due to her injuries, and eventually, a cellphone rang in her hospital room. It was beneath her bed, and Yuu was stupid enough to pick it up and keep talking when it turned out to be Rei of all people.
Rei taunted him, telling him to give some gratitude even when she had just informed him that Hajime had been killed while they were having this conversation, and in a fit of anger, Yuu said the keywords. He said "for the one I love."
By the time Yuu had realized what he had just done, Mitsuki was already crawling out of bed--no longer the childhood friend he had come to care about but the Wolf, who certainly didn't care about her body's limits or all the injuries she was straining at the moment. Mitsuki was still asleep, and the Wolf had conveniently found a knife that had been used to cut up an apple next to her bed.
The rest, of course, is left to the imagination.
Abilities/Special Powers: GRAVITY DEFYING HAIR ACCESSORIES ok no. Mitsuki is your average, female high school student--and as such does not possess any special abilities. I will take the time to note here, however, that the limiters that normally keep people from overexerting their bodies by using too much strength or pushing themselves past their limit are off once she hears the second switch for her hypnotism. As long as she's the "Wolf", she'll be able to do things that would have normal humans writhing in pain on the spot, such as easily lifting an axe with one hand or prying a jammed door with her bare hands without even noticing she just ripped all of her fingernails out in the process.
( note! as briefly mentioned in the history section, i play mitsuki under the assumption that she does not remember anything about what she does when hypnotized when none of the triggers are in place. my characterization in the samples will reflect this, of course, with the obvious "daddy in a coma" thing as the only leftover of her hypnotism. o7 )
Third-Person Sample:
If you have told Mitsuki a couple of hours ago that she would have been stuck in an abandoned hospital with the ever present risk of dying, she would have most likely told you to stop joking around. That those kinds of jokes weren't funny at all, and that you shouldn't say such grim things. Something like that could never happen, not when she was with friends.
However, this wasn't a couple of hours ago, and had she actually uttered such a statement, it would have most definitely come back to bite her in the ass.
Mitsuki rubs her eye, stifling a yawn and moving the book she had previously been skimming through aside in order to grab another one. They had been at it for hours, trying to find some sort of clue that would clear this whole mess up and get them out of here, but there was nothing. Not even in the dozens of books she had to have read by now, there was nothing that would provide some sort of answer as to why they were trapped here and as to why she was even included in that particular file in the first place, seeing as she had been brought here by pure coincidence.
She would briefly amuse the thought of the Wolf being clairvoyant, before quickly pushing it out of her mind. As much as she would like to think of something silly to brighten up her mood, it really wasn't the time--not when the next day was fast approaching (if it wasn't already tomorrow) and there was someone out there just waiting to kill them off, one by one.
Truth to be told, she could actually think of another couple of reasons why she would be in those files in the first place (being investigated as someone who was close to one of the players being the most prominent), but there was always one in particular that would slip her mind as soon as it came. No matter how hard she tried to focus on it and see if it made any sense, she just forgot about as soon as it came, but that really shouldn't be surprising to her. After all, they had gone nearly a day without any sort of food or proper rest, and with this thing festering in her arm, it was nearly miraculous that she could think properly at all.
Yes. That was more of a comforting thought than anything else, at the moment.
Skimming through yet another page, flipping through the book she currently held in her hand as it blabbered on and on about things she didn't even understand and did not see how they were related to their current predicament at all, Mitsuki decides to settle it down on top of the pile she had formed by now. She glances up, away from the books she was supposed to be looking through and towards Yuu, just to see how he was doing, before picking up another book and flipping it open, stifling yet another yawn in the meanwhile. She was close to falling asleep without meaning to by now, but that wasn't something she could do--not yet. She would read through as many of these things as she could possibly manage, and help Yuu find the clues he was looking for.
Then, maybe, they would finally get out of this hideous mess.
First-Person Sample:
[There's a silence for the longest time, as if Mitsuki was contemplating whether or not she should speak up at all, before she finally speaks up.]
H-- Hello? Is... Anybody listening to this? If... If someone is listening to this, please answer me! I'm glad I got out of that place, but... This isn't right! This is just...
[A beat. She stops herself from continuing that sentence, and sighs a bit wearily.]
Even if you can't tell me where I am, does anybody know if there's a person named Yuu here? Or if you've heard about him at all? Anything will do, please.
[Pauses.] --And, um... Thank you.

She glances up, away from the books she was supposed to be looking through and towards Yuu, just to see how he was doing, before picking up another book and flipping it open, stifling yet another yawn in the meanwhile. She was close to falling asleep without meaning to by now, but that wasn't something she could do--not yet. She would read through as many of these things as she could possibly manage, and help Yuu find the clues he was looking for.
Then, maybe, they would finally get out of this hideous mess.
First-Person Sample:
[There's a silence for the longest time, as if Mitsuki was contemplating whether or not she should speak up at all, before she finally speaks up.]
H-- Hello? Is... Anybody listening to this? If... If someone is listening to this, please answer me! I'm glad I got out of that place, but... This isn't right! This is just...
[A beat. She stops herself from continuing that sentence, and sighs a bit wearily.]
Even if you can't tell me where I am, does anybody know if there's a person named Yuu here? Or if you've heard about him at all? Anything will do, please.
[Pauses.] --And, um... Thank you.
