Honami

Biodata

Background and History

On the first day of school, Honami drew a crowd of new classmates and organized their self-introductions. Her class unanimously elected her representative 3 4 36. She became the person classmates routinely approached with problems, taking on work that included tutoring struggling students 37 42.

Yuki Himeno warned Honami that carrying so much of the class's work herself was unsustainable. Honami welcomed the criticism, though she initially saw no problem with giving up her own time to help classmates avoid expulsion 41 42. During the Uninhabited Island Exam, she took Yuki's advice to delegate intelligence gathering rather than leave it to herself and Ryuji Kanzaki 77.

After graduation, Honami intended to start work immediately to support her family despite the tuition-free university option available to Class A graduates. Dokuho Kouya sought her out before the graduates left and offered her financial help 130.

Personality

She is willing to sacrifice her own time and resources for others.

Although her class rejected the latter proposal, she respected the vote and thanked her classmates for choosing freely 54 56.
