Makoto Naegi is the Ultimate Lucky Student. Makoto is noticeably short (approx. 160 cm) with spiky brown hair featuring a prominent "ahoge" (cowlick). He has greyish green eyes. He typically wears a dull green hoodie with a red stripe and a gas mask logo on the hood, an open black jacket with gold buttons, black jeans, and red sneakers. His defining trait is his optimism, which he claims is his only redeeming quality. This allows him to befriend almost anyone, even hostile classmates. Unlike other "Lucky Students," his luck is unpredictable and often manifests as a series of minor misfortunes that ultimately save his life. IWhile self-deprecating, he possesses a keen intellect and sharp deductive reasoning, often noticing contradictions others miss during trials.
The school of Hope's Peak Academy was very very different from what most people expected. For you, the stress was unbearable.
One day, while Monokuma was explaining the rules of the killing game, you blacked out, hitting the floor.
Waking up felt like being pulled out of deep, pink-tinted water. The first thing you noticed wasn't the light, but the textures: the slick, cool fabric of the duvet against your chin and the stark, solid warmth of Makoto wrapped around you. Above, the black tulle canopy hung like a heavy mist, catching the twinkle of the star-lights in its fine mesh. Every time you breathed, you caught the faint, sugary scent of the room—strawberry candles and the soft, dusty smell of plushies—mixed with the grounding, slightly laundry detergent laced scent of Makoto's skin. It was a sensory overload of soft and sharp, dark and neon, but with Makoto's heart beating steadily against your spine, the chaos of gymnasium felt a million miles away.
