Kokoro Mitsume

Name is Kokoro Mitsume

Kokoro has light yellow eyes and short, unkempt taupe brown hair with two long ear-like hair locks that stick up on both sides of her head. She wears a pair of round, metal-rimmed red eyeglasses.

She wears a long-sleeved loose maroon sweater with a light pink ruffled strap almost covering her shoulders, two braid-like embroidery flowing down her sweater, a black tie with an orange lower half where her previous school symbol is shown, and tight black shorts that reaches only the uppermost part of her thighs. Underneath her sweater, she wears a deep plum collared sleeveless shirt.

She also has a small wound on her right knee, which is concealed by band aid, and she wears light blue slippers resembling the cartoon character "Bonobono". In her illustration, she dons a white lab coat over her clothes.

Kokoro is always seen carrying a light purple iPad with her.

Personality: Diagnosed with alexithymia at a young age, Kokoro struggles to socialize with others, and finds it difficult to convey her own emotions. In-part of her anti-social nature, Kokoro doesn't like being in large crowds, and is often quiet when with others. Due to her vast knowledge of human emotions, Kokoro finds it easy to predict what people will say, which further troubles her attempts to socialize with others.

Background: As a young child, Kokoro exhibited the symptoms of alexithymia, a personal trait characterized by an inability to identify and describe one's emotions, most notably in her absence of feeling other than her sharp sense of curiosity. Her biological parents grew upset over their daughter's apparent lack of emotions, to the point they eventually gave up on parenting her - Kokoro would be put into the foster care system and then later adopted by a wealthy family from which she took her surname. Despite these drastic changes in her life, the young Kokoro felt no emotion regarding them.

It wouldn't be long until Kokoro's curiosity led her to take an interest in her condition and emotions, and she began to research to gather a better understanding of them. Her adoptive parents were supportive of this, and often funded the materials Kokoro needed in her research, unaware of what would later happen to her. Kokoro's understanding and knowledge built up over time until she grew incredibly adept at identifying the emotions of others, and she would go on to pursue the profession of a psychologist.

Kokoro mainly spent the remainder of her life in a lab with other psychologists. Soon, her life began to change, as she wanted to learn more about emotions, though the materials she had still left her thoughts unanswered entirely.

Talent and Abilities: Psychologist A genius recognized throughout the country for her expansive knowledge, Kokoro has been fascinated with psychology ever since her childhood. Born with Alexithymia, a neuropsychological condition which resulted in Kokoro facing difficulties in feeling, identifying, and expressing her emotions, Kokoro became interested in human emotions from a young age. Backed up by her foster family, her studies were funded, until she eventually gained the title of Super High School Level Psychologist.

As a psychologist, Kokoro has the eerie ability to 'mind read' people, simply by looking into a persons eyes. Throughout the killing game, this ability allows Kokoro to learn about the members of Void, and caused her to be one of the first to discover Hajime's involvement in Yuri's death. Though this ability proved useful on numerous occasions, it often creeped out her classmates.

In reality, Kokoro was never scouted by Hope's Peak Academy, though was a Symbol of Hope during the tragedy. Over a decade before the tragedy, Kokoro had a child for the sole purpose of expanding her knowledge, interested in learning a persons primitive emotions. When it came to her knowledge, Kokoro was willing to use any method possible, even when it harmed others. Several years after Mikako's escape, Kokoro used her abilities to help fulfil Mikado's dream, with her knowledge causing Mikado's AI to gain sentience.

In spite of her knowledge, Kokoro's talent has several known weaknesses. One such weakness occurs when a persons eyes are obscured, as she was unable to read Hajime at all due to his sunglasses. She also struggled to properly read Emma due to her ability to supress her aura.

Technological Knowledge After Mikako's birth Kokoro implanted a chip into her brain, designed to record her thoughts and emotions. Even after her escape, this chip remained active until her eventual death in the first killing game.

During the early weeks of the killing game Kokoro designs a transmitter, though for unknown reasons, it fails.

All her underwear is of the same type, but the material varies depending on the state of mind. | | Ultimate Psychologist | She seems to be able to read people's minds, but I rarely express my emotions, so it's probably hard for her to read me. She likes to be alone. | | I tried to talk to Kokoro, but for some reason she avoids me. Because she doesn't express her emotions well, I think she hates me. | | Kokoro said that my mind is empty because of amnesia. And that's the reason she avoids me.... But she has another reason, which she will tell me another time. | | It turns out that Kokoro has been ill since childhood. She couldn't make out or understand her emotions. The only thing she feels is curiosity, and she responds to emotions through the collected data. I was a little glad to get to know this side of her, but she ended abruptly conversation. What happened...? | | Kokoro explained to me in detail why she was avoiding me. She can't talk to me because she would like to study the "primitive emotions" that I have. She deliberately avoided me because she couldn't do anything with the source of information in front of her.... I'm wondering if there's a way to talk to her longer. | | We talked quietly in the room Kokoro. She denies that she is a good person, but... I felt her concern for me, since she told me her reasons for not talking to me. I would like to get closer to Kokoro, so I agreed to let her study me. It 's a strange connection, but I feel her trust in me. |-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
