Appearance

At the beginning of the Killing School Life in Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc, Eraka appears to be a young high school-aged teenager, but due to the memory loss she is two years older than she believed. Just like Kyoko, she has a pale complexion. She has olive green eyesHer limbs are thin from her past, making her weigh less than anyone in her class. Like Byakuya, Toko and Hifumi, she has her own glasses. They are these purple and silver frames to rounded square lenses. She has long strawberry blonde that has been dyed a bright crimson and a green headband sitting on her head. Her outfit consists of her old uniform, a cream sweatshirt underneath a red and green plaid dress. She would wear nude stockings with black Mary Jane platforms to hide her scars on her legs from her past. She, like her cousin, wears gloves. Her gloves are designer, being white with red lace on them.

After joining Future Foundation, her appearance changes drastically. The dye is fading in her roots because she stops dying it. It is tied into a low side bun while wearing a red beret. She wears a camo crop jacket that shows a little of her cleavage even though it's zipped up. For pants, she has black sweatpants and brown combat boots. Around her waist is a belt with two holsters, one for a Megaphone Hacking gun while the other one is full of smoke bombs created by her that she gave to Future Foundation. Her gloves are changed to brown, fingerless gloves, like Komaru Naegi.

As a child, she wears an oversized white t-shirt that ends at her ankles and a small belt around her waist. Her hair is tied back into a small, low ponytail by a ribbon and her joints are visible, even while wearing the shirt.

History

Eraka's story starts with her being born. The Tekami Family is high up on the ranks of the secret council alongside the Togami Family. Yuma Tekami and Niko Kirigiri arranged themselves in marriage and would do the same with Eraka, arranging her to the heir of the Togami Family. However once she was born, Yuma Tekami wanted out of the secret council so that he could have a peaceful life with his new forged family. This didn't go too well. The Togami Family didn't like this and had Yuma assassinated. However, they needed to not make it look like a homicide so they wrote a fake suicide note, blaming Eraka for his death by being a spoiled brat. Niko took her to her grandmother on Yuma's side as they tried to help Eraka with rebuilding her sanity. A year later, Yuma's mother passed away and the Togami Family found out that Niko had used her skills in investigating to prove to the cops that is was a homicide. They did the same with Niko, again framing Eraka for the suicide.

After this, Eraka was transported to an orphanage. Niko's father was never informed about this, thinking Yuma's parents were taking care of her, because of Kyoko. Kyoko, Eraka's cousin, didn't inform Fuhito (Niko's father) about it because of her jealousy towards Eraka. The challenges they had as kids, Eraka would be on top. Now she regrets it. In the orphanage, was horrible. It's stated by her in one of her Free Time Events, that the less worse punishments they would give her is doing the invisible chair for two hours. They allowed her and the other kids to go to school in which, she met Daiya and Mondo Owada on her way back. Mondo asked his brother to take her back to the base as he allows it. This continued for a month as Daiya was thinking of adopting her. However one day, they couldn't find her. They knew of the torturous methods of the orphanage so they assumed she died. In actuality, she was adopted by Malachi and Ichika O'Conner.

Her new life was amazing. She was raised mainly by her adoptive brother, Reiji O'Conner, because Malachi's and Ichika's jobs keep them from being in the house for a few days straight. Because of this, Reiji didn't take up the offer Hope's Peak Academy gave him and was a normal high school student with him being a secondary parental figure to Eraka. During this time, Eraka began middle school in which she met Makoto and Komaru Naegi. Komaru was one of her close friends as this lead to her and Makoto knowing each other. Since this lifestyle change, Eraka's grades changed drastically. She shot up to be three years above her year, granting her the title, Ultimate Genius (Super High School-Level Sage). Of course, she would be asked to go up three years but she would refuse because she wanted to live like a normal girl her age, especially with her past. During her stay with her new family, she learned Gaelic, Welsh and English due to Malachi's family being from Ireland and going during summer, winter and spring breaks.

Prior to the Tragedy

When being accepted into Hope's Peak Academy, she became the 17th student in Class 78th and instantly connected with Makoto, Sayaka, Aoi and Mukuro. Kyoko distanced herself from Eraka until she forced Kyoko to hang out with her. They connected again, with Kyoko not telling her what happened. Leon, Mondo and Chihiro all for fall for her. It was both Kyoko and Eraka who brought the idea to the headmaster, Jin Kirigiri.

During the Tragedy

Danganronpa 3 The End of Hope's Peak Academy - Despair Arc

Episode 05 - The Beginning of the End

Eraka's picture can be briefly seen on the pile of student registration forms that her uncle places on his desk, along with Kiyotaka Ishimaru, Celestia Ludenberg, Kyoko Kirigiri and Aoi Asahina.

Episode 11 - Goodbye, Hope's Peak Academy

Eraka can be seen helping Mondo and Chihiro carrying a piece of metal. She and Class 78th agreed to live in the school until the Ultimate Despair is gone. She is also clueless about the Ultimate Despair being in the school.

Killing School Life

To Survive

In this chapter, everyone is becoming aware of Eraka's condition. Kyoko is shown to be over protective over her. This can be seen after Eraka's confrontation with Byakuya when Kyoko tries to hold back on beating him up and possibly killing him. The girls, replacing Toko for Makoto, are all supportive for Eraka. Sayaka and Junko

Personality

In the beginning, she is harsh to the other students at Hope's Peak but she grows to be kind hearted person. Eraka has a big heart, being there for others like Chihiro, Makoto, Aoi and Kyoko. However, if someone is picking on her or someone else, she will jump in and go off on them. However, due to her past, she has trigger words and trigger actions to send her into a panic attack. This is shown earlier on with one of her interactions with Byakuya as it sends her on a panic attack. During these panic attacks, flashes of her past shows as well as voice she heard before. She loves reading books in her spare time, hence her wearing glasses.

Relationships

Family;

Kyoko Kirigiri:
Eraka and Kyoko knew each other when they were young as their parents wanted them to have a strong bond. This lasted until Eraka's parents died and was sent to an orphanage. They would meet in the playground they would play at but it stopped when the nuns of the orphanage found out. In the Killing School Life, Kyoko seems to be overprotective over Eraka but acts like an outsider looking in. While Eraka calls her Kyoko~Chan, Kyoko calls her Tekami. Throughout the Killing School Life, they start to reforge the bond they had.

Jin Kirigiri: *SPOILERS*

Fuhito and Tohachiro Kirigiri: *SPOILERS*

Reiji O'Conner:
The two share a close and deep brother and sister connection as Reiji was the one who took care of her. Reiji chose not to take the offer to go to Hope's Peak Academy to take care of Eraka and was so proud of her when she got accepted into Hope's Peak Academy. To show their bond, they have similar looking pendants that was shown with his note to Eraka.

Ichika O'Conner:
Although she wasn't in Eraka's life much, she recognizes her as her mother. Ichika is known for being selfless and would do anything for her children.

Malachi O'Conner:
Just like Ichika, he wasn't in Eraka's life much but she acknowledges him as her father. It was his idea to adopt both Eraka and Reiji as Ichika is unable to give birth.

Niko Kirigiri-Tekami:
Niko loved her daughter so much and the feelings were mutual. Before her death, Niko would spoil Eraka and would take her to her father's place for Eraka and Kyoko to play.

Yuma Tekami:
Yuma is the cliche fun dad. Yuma would always be the one to teach Eraka the necessities like manners. Most of her knowledge came from him as he was the previous Ultimate Genius.

Class 78th;

Makoto Naegi:
Eraka and Makoto have known each other since elementary school. Though they never talked before, they know each other because they would be classmates. At times, they would hang out because their friends are friends. At the start of the Killing School Game, Eraka and Makoto's acquaintanceship begins as she shows a softer side to hers. Slowly, Eraka's trust for Makoto strengthens as the communal life goes on, same goes with Makoto.

Byakuya Togami:
Byakuya and Eraka have the same relationship that Byakuya and Aoi have. Eraka hates his way of thinking, calling him 'Asshole' and 'Ultimate Asshole' when he steps out of line. In the end, they have a mutual respect for each other.

Aoi Asahina:
Aoi and Eraka are shown to be as close as sisters. Aoi accidently calls her 'little sis' once and that nickname stuck with her even when they join Future Foundation. Everyone sees it off as it's the nerd hanging out with a jock type but they use this dynamic to their advantage.

Sakura Ogami:
Like with Aoi and Eraka, it is unusual to see that these two are friends but they got along. Sakura and Eraka may not be as close as Eraka with Aoi, Makoto and Kyoko, but they have respect for each other. Sakura even teaches her easy martial arts moves to make her be able to defend herself.

Chihiro Fujisaki:
Being the two shortest people in Class 78th, they find each other as close friends. In their free time, they would hang out in each other's rooms. They would put their hair in space buns and would call each other with nicknames. 'Usagi' for Eraka and 'Chibiusa' for Chihiro. They have other nicknames depending on the language and medium you view it from.They trust each other so much that they know each of their secrets.

Mukuro Ikusaba: *SPOILERS*

Mondo Owada:
Mondo knew of Eraka when she was young. She would walk from school to the orphanage late. The biker gang found her as Mondo asked her if she was okay. Mondo's brother, Daiya, let her ride with them to the orphanage. Though now that she grew up and dyed her hair, Mondo doesn't recognize her until they two get to know each other. Eraka, however, remembers him because of his unique hairstyle.

Sayaka Maizono:
Sayaka and Eraka are shown to have a smaller version of Aoi and Eraka's relationship. Sayaka expresses that she cares for Eraka at times when Eraka is upset or hurt.

Toko Fukawa/Genocide Jack:
Toko shows disgust towards Eraka because of Eraka's attitude with Byakuya. Jack on the other hand, likes her because of Eraka's enjoyment with her when she's around. Even with Toko's disgust, Eraka still shows kindness to her in small parts, saying she wants to help Toko's inferiority complex which makes Toko be less rude to her. Though, Toko is still rude towards Eraka.

Celestia Ludenberg:
Celeste and Eraka have a strange relationship. Celeste is a tactful person when Eraka is a more rational person with Eraka suspecting her for most things. Eraka's distrust for Celeste comes from her nickname, 'Queen of Liars', as she hates lies but still has an iron mask around her

Yasuhiro Hagakure:
Eraka sees Hiro as the 'Drunk Uncle' but she is still intrigued by the connection he has with the spirit world. She hopes that he can contact other spirits so that she can have contact with her birth parents.

Kiyotaka Ishimaru:
Taka gets on Eraka's nerves at times and sometimes Eraka snaps at him. Though, Taka acknowledges her high IQ so he has a silent respect for her.

Leon Kuwata:
At the start, there are moments that show that Leon has intimate feelings for Eraka. Eraka on the other hand, doesn't know how to feel about Leon but cares about him no matter what.

Creation and Development

In the beginning, I was about to make Eraka and Kyoko twins but I thought it would be weird if both Eraka and Kyoko didn't know Kyoko's talent so I scraped it. I also thought about keeping her blond hair but I thought that she would clash with Junko Enoshima. Her outfit is unlike the others, having her old uniform being a pinafore unlike the others. She was planning on wearing a sailor fuku but her appearance was meant to be unique like the others. Also, her name was going to be Airi Kirigiri when she was planning to be her twin.

Trivia

. Eraka is written like 代 か, in both hiragana and katakana. '代' is 'Dai' meaning 'era' with 'か' from the hiragana and katakana alphabet.

. Tekami is written with 'て' as 'te' from the alphabet with 'かみ' as 'Kami' meaning 'god' and 'divine being'

. Her Japanese voice actress is Haruka Tomatsu, known for her roles as, Lala Satalin Deviluke in To Love Ru, Asuna Yuuki from Sword Art Online, and Haru Okumura in Persona 5/Animation/Dancing Star Night/Q2/Royal/Scrambled with many more.

. Eraka, Kyoko, Byakuya and Makoto and the main investigators in the Killing School Life because Eraka, Kyoko and Byakuya's intelligence and Makoto being the player.

. In Class 78th, Eraka knows the most languages. These languages are Gaelic, Welsh, Japanese and English. This beats Byakuya Togami, knowing French, Japanese and English (I'm saying English because of how the game is)

. Eraka's and Chihiro's nicknames in the game are references to Usagi and Chibiusa Tsukino from Sailor Moon respectively. This is due to Eraka's English game voice actress being Stephanie Sheh who plays Usagi Tsukino. Chihiro however doesn't have a reason to be called Chibiusa. Dorothy Elias Fahn, Chihiro's English game voice actress, voices Natsumi Ginga, Cyprine and Ptilol from Sailor Moon however.

. In the English dub of the anime however, their nicknames are changed to Eraka, Mao, and Chihiro, Lil. Cristina Vee, who voices Eraka, voices Mao from One Piece while Kara Edwards, who voices Chihiro, voices Lil from One Piece. This is a direct reference to One Piece.

. In the Japanese version, the nicknames for Eraka and Chihiro are Yamura and Moji respectively. This is because Haruka Tomatsu, Japanese voice of Eraka, voices Futaba Yamura and Koki Miyata, voice of Chihiro, voices Kunihiko Moji. Both characters from Bokurano.
