Ayame was originally created with the motif of "healthy sports girl", with aspects of her personality loosely inspired by Peko Pekoyama from the mainline series. During early drafts of the game, Ayame was intended to survive the game. However, after Kanata was changed from being Chapter Two's killer into Chapter Three's victim, Ayame's role had to change to fill the remaining killer slot[1].

Ayame's earliest known design is near-identical to her final one, with the only noted difference being a pattern on her headband that was later removed

Early Life Little is currently known about Ayame's life before Hope's Peak. At some point she was scouted by the school as the Super High School Level Sprinter, as part of the 79th Class. Sometime before attending the school Ayame had to undergo emergency surgery after harming her hamstring.

The Tragedy of Hope's Peak Academy Ayame was one of sixteen students scouted by Hope's Peak Academy under its 79th class. Quickly admitted by the school to complete a secret project, everything was in vain when the student council was massacred by this same project. Although the schools administration tried their best to cover up the incident, rumours inevitably spread between the schools students. After personally researching and confirming their claims Yamato Kisaragi, the Super High School Level Inventor, searched for the incidents true masterminds after seeing one of them in footage from a hidden camera. placed on the body of the last surviving council member. Throughout his investigations, Yamato soon learned about a more sinister plan taking place. To protect his friends Yamato came up with his own plan to protect the 79th class. When the 'parade' began to take place, Yamato inflicted his plan and drove his classmates to an isolated island belonging to the Kisaragi Foundation. Unbeknown to all of them at that time, two members of the Ultimate Despair were already among them.

Shortly after escaping to the island Monokuma's attacked the building, killing numerous of the organizations staff and attacking the students. Ayame was attacked and rendered unconscious. Her memories of her time at Hope's Peak Academy were soon erased, and the laboratory was remodelled to look like the school building.

The 79th Class Killing Game DROL - Prologue CGs - Anonymous Announcement Ayame is one of the fifteen students enrolled to Hope's Peak Academy, as the years Super High School Level Sprinter. Upon entry of the main school building everyone falls unconscious. One-by-one they wake up separated from each other but soon gather just outside of the classrooms. Just as they were coming to their senses an anonymous announcement discussing the opening ceremony draws everyone to the gym. Upon entering the gym however, they are greeted by a Monochromatic robotic bear called Monokuma, who reveals the students have been kidnapped and were forced to participate in a mutual killing school life. The only way to leave the school would be to get away with murdering another student.

During the following days the group received DVDs of the people closest to them in harm's way. A day later Rei Mekaru and Kiyoka Maki are discovered to be missing, leading Ayame to sprint around the main school building in search for them. She is one of the first to discover Kiyoka's hung-up corpse after a scream from Akane alerts the others to the restrooms. During the subsequent class trial for Kiyoka's murder, Mitsuhiro is found guilty as the culprit behind the case. After the participants correctly vote him as the killer he is dragged off to his punishment, which is soon witnessed by everyone in attendance.

Kizuna's Plot Danganronpa Another - CGs - Chapter Two - Akane tries to convince Kizuna to not murder After the class trial for Kiyoka's murder new areas are opened up by Monokuma. In the following days he provides the participants with their second motive, where everyone was given another person's secret. It is unknown who got Ayame's secret or what secret she was given. During the subsequent days Akane reveals to the participants that Kizuna, who had been left out of the main group of participants due to her unwillingness to follow Tsurugi's every command, had been crying to herself as night. In her attempt to confide in the cheerleader, Akane gathered everyone to the gym and cornered Kizuna, trying to convince her to rejoin the main group. Kizuna would accept the offer.

Danganronpa Another - CGs - Chapter Two - Kizuna body discovery During that same night Kizuna began work on her murder plan, collecting a lighter, a piece of string, a flashlight, and a kitchen knife. Leaving a note underneath Akane Taira's door, Akane would go to see her in the switchium on the second floor. Kizuna would show Akane Yuki's secret and ask her to assist her in killing him. When Akane refuses, Kizuna lunges towards her with the knife, just barely missing Akane. Stumbling onto each other during their struggle Akane is able to gain the upper-hand, stabbing Kizuna in the stomach before running off tearfully. Though it wasn't known at the time Ayame had been nearby, and after witnessing her friend running away and bloody, she goes to the switchium. After her arrival she discovers Kizuna alone, bleeding out and on the verge of death, attempting to write a final dying message detailing "maid", Akane's ultimate. Understanding too well what would've happened to her friend, Ayame rips the knife out of Kizuna's stomach, using a piece of cloth to prevent any blood from getting onto her, before striking the knife back into Kizuna's neck.

Danganronpa Another - CGs - Chapter Two - Injured Ayame Forced to use the tools Kizuna brought with her, Ayame set up fuses around the area, setting them alight. When nobody noticed this fire however, Ayame quickly changed her plans and acted as the person to discover the situation. Along with Rei, Kinji, and Tsurugi, the four extinguished the flames. What Ayame didn't know at the time however, was Kizuna still hadn't succumbed to her wounds. With her last bit of strength Kizuna edited her dying message, clearing Akane of suspicion. Before she was able to write Ayame's name though, either shock or blood loss got to her, and Kizuna died. Soon after her death the body discover announcement is set off, and everyone investigates the area.

During the investigative period for Kizuna's murder Ayame, after setting up false evidence and a trap for herself, tries to direct Yuki towards a third burnt flashlight. As she approached it however, her leg is suddenly caught up in a wire trap. At the time believed to be set up by the killer, Ayame's back tendon is cut and she is forced onto the ground bleeding. Although Kanata Inori tends to her wounds, Ayame is unable to help with the case any further, until the start of the class trial.

During the subsequent class trial for Kizuna's murder, Ayame is soon found guilty by her classmates. This was mainly because of two main pieces of evidence. Firstly, Akane's own eye-witness account to what happened to Kizuna, and the contradictions with Kizuna's death caused her to become suspicious about the case. Knowing she hadn't been the one to finish Kizuna, her experience in the situation narrowed down the opening window for Kizuna's death and the time to set up the fuse and light the fire. Secondly, the trap Ayame set for herself would backfire and soon expose her as Kizuna's killer.

After she is voted as Kizuna's killer, Ayame puts on the façade of a selfish person, who killed Kizuna to escape. This act is quickly shot down by her classmates however, and she soon returns to her normal self.

Ayame is soon dragged away to her execution, "Super High School Level Sprinter Dismantling Sports Day". She is strapped to a large wooden chariot, and forced to run through all sorts of obstacles, before being split from the torso. The chariot soon crashes into a grinder, which turns Ayame into nothing more than a puddle of blood.

Legacy Ayame's corpse is later found in the school's morgue. After the school's destruction her body sinks to the bottom of the ocean.

Ayame later makes a reappearance in Super Danganronpa Another 2, where a large golden statue of her can be found by Sora in the Tower of Babel

Ayame is a short young woman who stands at 159CM, with chin-length black hair which is kept in place with a red hairband, and dark blue eyes. Ayame wears a white sports top with a red trim and her name written on the front. Over top of her shirt Ayame wears a red bloomer, rested on both of her shoulders. In addition to this she wears a pair of red shorts with white stripes and her name, as well as a pair of black and red sneakers. While running, Ayame ties her hair into a single ponytail.

In her character illustration her sneakers are instead red and white, and wears red and white shorts rather than solely red ones.

If she had survived to participate in Satsuki's party, she would have worn a long flowing dress, and wore a headband with a flower attachment. Around her waist, she would have also worn a belt with a cog-like buckle[2].

If she had survived to join the Kisaragi Foundation, she would have worn her hair into a high-standing ponytail. Her outfit would have consisted of a zip-up puffy jacket, a shirt, a belt around her waist, a pair of rolled-up shorts, and a bandana[3]. Scouted as this year's Super High School Level Sprinter, Ayame is a passionate young woman who trains everyday towards her goal of winning a gold medal in the Olympics. Able to run over 100 metres in just 9 seconds, Ayame is known by many to go at speeds that would be humanly impossible. Due to her high speeds and eagerness to better herself Ayame trains her health every day, maintaining a healthy diet, performing several different exercises for her legs and muscles, and pushing herself further than her present skills. In spite of this, her eagerness was also what harmed her, when she had to undergo emergency surgery on her hamstring. Though she was warned to not overexert herself afterward, Ayame continue to pursue her ideals.

Understanding the limits clothing would have on her abilities, Ayame always wears the same outfit, and finds no purpose in wearing more 'feminine' clothing. Although she is interested to learn about the different styles, she prefers her own, finding it to help her training[4].

During the 79th Killing School Life, Ayame's abilities come into use on several occasions. Able to quickly maneuver the school grounds, she was one of the first to find Kiyoka's corpse after being alerted to the girl's bathroom by Akane's scream.

Relationships Akane Taira In the early weeks of the Killing Game Ayame developed a close friendship with Akane. After witnessing Akane escaping the switchium, panicked and covered in blood, she went to investigate. Upon finding a dying Kizuna, Ayame decided to sacrifice her life to protect Akane, ultimately taking Kizuna's life and becoming the blackened in Akane's stead. To further protect Akane during the Class Trial, Ayame attempted to trick her and the rest of the class into believing she was a 'bad person', and killed Kizuna for selfish reasons. Despite her best attempts though, this fails. Even after her death Akane constantly thinks about Ayame, and eventually tries to take her own life due to the guilt she felt. Later in the Killing Game Akane began to hear Ayame's voice again, manifesting from her guilt. Though Ayame killed Kizuna to protect Akane, she initially experienced some desire to escape from the academy. This desire is quickly given up during the Class Trial.

Before the Killing Game Akane and Ayame were still friends. At one point Akane seemed to hesitate about her plans with Utsuro, just after she talked with Ayame.

In the non-canon 'IF' illustrations, Ayame and Akane are seen chatting together.

Yuki Maeda Though the two didn't interact much in the main game, they frequently trained together in their Free Time Events together. Ayame believed Yuki was a fitting training partner, and tried to help him improve during their time together. When Ayame started to appear visibly more tired, Yuki expressed concern for her and asked her to rest.

Before the events of the Killing Game, Utsuro was worried Ayame was beginning to influence Akane. Thick Thighs, Prefectly Rounded Bubble Ass]
