Sara Chidouin

About

__Height:__ 164.5 cm (5'5") The protagonist, a second year at Sonobeno High. She is a participant in the death game. ~!Her survival rate, determined by AI test trials, is 15.5%, which is the highest out of all the candidates.!~ Sara is responsible, mature, hardworking, and stays steady in her conviction to save everyone. Her fellow participants often describe her as strong and dependable with the "attitude of a samurai" due to her strong "take charge, take responsibility" mindset. Because of this, Sara acts as the leader of the group that mostly everyone trusts and relies on. She is especially admired by the younger kids in the group, with both [Kanna Kizuchi](https://anilist.co/character/163054/Kizuchi-Kanna) and [Gin Ibushi](https://anilist.co/character/163057/Ibushi-Gin) viewing her as an older sister figure. While Sara can distrust or doubt some of the group, she still continues to work along everyone the best she can. However, Sara also suffers through self-doubt, often not believing she is really everything everyone praises her to be, as well as occasional selfish thoughts about saving herself and sacrificing the others for her own safety— although she snaps out of it and remains determined to beat the Death Game and escape with everyone. Sara also has a bad habit of putting others' needs before her own, as well as overworking and pushing herself too hard. She tends to ignore and suppress all of her negative feelings and doubts to continue appearing as a reliable figure everyone can lean on, which of course deteriorates her mental health and eventually causes her to break down. __During the Death Game:__ ~!At the end of the first Main Game, Sara's best friend, Joe Tazuna, is executed for having drawn the "sacrifice" card. As a result of watching Joe die right in front of her, Sara develops PTSD, and plagued with malicious hallucinations of Joe that worsen every time she remembers him.!~ ~!It is revealed that Sara was adopted, and that her adoptive father is connected to the Death Game. The person who she thought was her stalker, Kai Satou, is also revealed to actually have been her lifelong bodyguard hired to watch over and protect her.!~ ~!If you vote for Shin at the end of the second Main Game, then before he dies he starts up an AI of Joe, which allows Sara to speak with him one last time and become cured of her hallucinations and flashbacks. If you vote for Kanna, however, then after her execution Shin starts up a malicious version of the Joe AI that causes Sara to have a complete breakdown and completely forget that Joe ever existed.!~
