Junko Enoshima

Title: Ultimate Despair (超高校級の「絶望 」) Birth date: December 24th (Capricorn) Gender: Female Race: Japanese Height: 169 cm (5 6.5") Weight: 44 kg (97 lb) Hair Color: Strawberry blonde Eye Color: Blue Likes: Drama, fashion, metal, punk rock, biology and anatomy, psychology, stuffed animals

Junko has a tall, hourglass figure. She has blue eyes and long, thick, strawberry blonde hair tied in two pigtails. She wears a variety of hair accessories, such as a white bunny clip, a black bunny clip with red eyes, and and red and white bow. Her signature accessories are a pair of hairclips seemingly patterned after Monokuma; the right clip is completely white with dot eyes, while the left is completely black with red eyes.

She wears a black cardigan over a white dress shirt, unbuttoned enough to expose the top of her black-and-red bra. A long tie loosely dangles around her neck, equal parts black and white, with a red "X" in a circle at the point where the colors meet. Junko also wears a red miniskirt and lace-up boots. She has long, fake red nails and wears a red bowtie on the left side of her cardigan.

Due to her constantly shifting personalities, Junko's appearance shifts slightly with her mood. This can be as simple as a new accessory (such as the crown on her "Queen" persona's head), or a complete change in appearance (such as the simplified design of her "cute" personality).

Junko's personality is extremely erratic and unstable by her own autonomous design; keeping up one "appearance" too long bores her.

Junko switches between "moods," which include (but are not limited to) her Monokuma persona, sickening cuteness, severe depression, clinical sophistication, and haughty superiority; she switches between "moods" regularly, often imitating other people's expressions. She is also shown to be intelligent, cunning, somewhat impulsive, and very manipulative.

Above all, however, Junko is deeply obsessed with despair, having found despair to be one of the most enjoyable emotions for her, whether it be the inflicting of despair upon others or suffering from despair wholeheartedly.

As a young fashionista, Junko is described as simply "not fake", charismatic and eager to try new things. During her first appearances, she comes across slightly air-headed and hot-tempered. In the official art book, she is described as a person who "drips with dissatisfaction the moment she opens her mouth" and tends to be in trouble with her classmates. She is also mentioned to be a bit too talkative with an overly carefree attitude.

However, Junko's real personality that is revealed at the conclusion of the Mutual Killing incident of Class 78 is notably different. Her true personality appears to be very apathetic and easily bored, to the unhealthy and abnormal degree. Because of this, her behavior and mannerisms tended to be extremely erratic and unstable by her own autonomous design; keeping up one "appearance" for too long bores her, which causes her to often switch between different personas. However, she is capable of maintaining one persona for extended periods of time when necessary, such as when she was overseeing the students through Monokuma.

Junko's "moods" included (but were not limited to) her Monokuma persona, sickening cuteness, severe depression, clinical sophistication, and haughty superiority. She switched between "moods" regularly, often imitating other students' expressions, which made for a highly unsettling conversation to the survivors.

Above all, Junko was deeply obsessed with despair, having found despair to be the most (and possibly the only) enjoyable emotion for her, whether it be the inflicting of despair unto others, or suffering from despair wholeheartedly. This made her extremely dangerous, as she wished to make the whole world feel absolute despair. However, this also often proved to be her biggest weakness, as she gave her opponents a "fair" chance to defeat her in order to make their despair all the greater if they fail, and happily welcomed her own despair if her plans fail. Both Junko herself and the game's creators have confirmed that she truly has no reason to do things she does other than despair itself, which makes her all the more dangerous and unable to reason with. Danganronpa/Zero proves that she wasn't born with hunger for despair, but it developed at quite young age due to an unknown reason.

As a mastermind and leader of Ultimate Despair, Junko was shown to be highly intelligent, cunning, somewhat impulsive, and extremely manipulative, violent and cruel without remorse. As revealed in Danganronpa/Zero, she possessed near supernatural analytical skills. She manipulated people into falling madly in love with her and used their weaknesses, their despair, against them. Things like hope, peace and happiness disgusted her, but she sometimes gave hope to others, only to turn it into despair later. She often manipulated people into doing bad things instead of directly doing them herself, and then had a habit of blaming these manipulated people and claiming it wasn't her fault, as a part of proving her point that despair exists in everyone and that hope will naturally lose to that despair.

While very abusive and cruel even towards her loved ones, it's implied that she felt some care for them, in her own messed-up way. It is interesting to note that the two people who Junko loved the most (her sister and Yasuke Matsuda) are the only people shown in canon to be killed directly by her: Mukuro through the Spears of Gungnir, and Yasuke through stabbing, whereas Jin Kirigiri was killed indirectly through an execution. This is likely because killing those she holds most dear would cause her great despair and to Junko, the greater the despair, the better.
