Raibaru Fumetsu

Raibaru Fumetsu  will be one of the female students that will attend Akademi High School. She is Osana's best friend, and both of them spend almost all of their time with one another.

Appearance
Raibaru wears the default female school uniform, unless customized by the player.

Raibaru has flushed cheeks, a soft smile, orange-amber eyes, and pale skin. Her ginger hair is worn in two slightly curled pigtails. To keep her hair up, she wears ruffled pink and white polka-dotted scrunchies and a purple ribbon. She also wears black shoes with white loose socks. Her bust size is 1.5. Her appearance is based on Rival-chan, the placeholder rival that stands under a tree in the school.

Currently, if you were to get her into the game via file editing, she will have a placeholder appearance for when her identity was not yet revealed. Her appearance is the same as Ayano Aishi, but her face, uniform, and body are black, with red eyes.

Personality
Among the personas currently implemented in the game, Raibaru has the Protective persona. If her persona is given to another student via JSON, they will do a suspicious pose if Ayano aims her camera at them. If they witnesses a murder, they will run to Ayano and apprehend them with no struggle mini-game. If they find a corpse, they will run to Ayano and apprehend them, immediately knowing it was her. If Ayano were to try and attack them, by stealth or a frontal attack, they are able to sense and dodge the attack, after which they will apprehend her immediately without a struggle mini-game, similar to the outcome of Ayano attacking a teacher without raising her Physical Education, with a non-concealable weapon or before they were killable.

As shown in the video and the incomplete nature of the persona currently in the game, Raibaru's behavior will be slightly different when she is implemented. If she witnesses Ayano murdering someone, she will be angered and chase after her to pin her down. However, as she is stronger than the other students, self-defense is useless against her and she does not trigger a struggle mini-game. Additionally, because of her immense strength and her determination to stop Ayano, when she catches her she will karate chop her in the right arm, breaking it and causing Ayano to drop the weapon she is holding before pinning her down and breaking her right wrist as well. In addition, Raibaru can sense danger and if Ayano tries to attack her, she will struggle with her for a moment before breaking her arm and apprehending her in the same way. Not even a stealth attack with maximum self-defense can defeat her. Other students, if befriended or seduced, will refuse to distract her (which involves asking an embarrassing question) since they don't want to get on her bad side.

Raibaru appears to be serene, cute and girly but she is actually pretty tough, scary and brutal around criminals, She is only sociable and open to Osana Najimi, encouraging her, cheering her up and giving tips about Senpai, offering her help when she overhears that Osana is troubled, and even shows her the clubs. She also stalks Osana's conversation with Senpai to give advice. Her friendship with Osana is so strong that she will refuse to talk to others and ignore auditory distractions such as giggling (but not laughing insanely) and the radio when hanging out with her so as to avoid ignoring her.

As seen by her reactions to attacking her and the murder of others, Raibaru has a strong sense of justice and a lot of self-determination as she refuses to die when Ayano tries to kill her and refuses to let her escape and potentially murder others, chasing after her to apprehend her, traits which are also seen in Budo and the other Martial Arts Club members. Unlike her pupils, however, she is willing to do anything to stop Ayano, up to and including breaking her arm (which is unnecessary as seen by how she can be apprehended normally).

Background
According to her student profile, she is Osana's best friend, and both of them spend almost all of their time with one another.She refuses to leave Osana's side,because she thinks its rude to not spend all your time with your best friend. She was the previous president of the Martial Arts club. No one wants to get on her bad side.

According to the video, exactly one year before the start of the game while she was the president of the Martial Arts Club, she was a good teacher and taught many students martial arts, even if they weren't in the Martial Arts Club, leading to the reason why some students who are not part of the Martial Arts club still have some self-defense skills. People believed she was weak because of how cute and girly she looks, but she beat every single one of the students who challenged her, giving her a 100% win streak and earning her the title of "The Indestructible Rival". Her pupil, Budo Masuta, looked up to and was inspired by her. One day, Budo suddenly challenged Raibaru, and she lost, breaking her 100% win streak. However, she was not angry at him and was instead relieved as she had not wanted to continue practicing martial arts and had only done so out of obligation to her pupils. She instead wanted to try out some new hobbies, such as cooking and painting. Now that Budo had beaten her, she had someone to succeed her as the teacher of her pupils, and as such she immediately gave up the title of club president to him. While her pupils were sad to see her leave, they accepted her decision and Budo as their new teacher.

Later, Raibaru found and befriended a girl: Ayano's rival, Osana Najimi. They quickly became very close, to the point of rarely leaving each others' side and even wearing matching hair accessories. Before the start of the game at the beginning of the school year, Osana discussed her plans to talk to and confess her love to her childhood friend, Senpai, with her, which leads Raibaru to watch their interactions and give Osana advice.

Routine
It is currently unknown what her official routine will be. If currently modded into the game, she will talk with Osana near the tree where Rival-chan would stand at, follow Osana around, and if too far, would run towards her, which shows she is a huge obstacle in killing Osana.

Trivia

 * She is currently the only student with the Protective Persona.
 * Her nickname is "The Indestructible Rival" since she never lost before sparring Budo. After being defeated, she no longer holds that title.
 * In the Youtube video revealing her identity, YandereDev revealed that Raibaru can be defeated (necessary to kill Osana as she cannot be killed or distracted normally). However, he states that while he usually explains things in detail like how to defeat Raibaru, he will not tell the game's players how to defeat her as he is leaving them to find out for themselves once she is implemented, in order to provide an actual challenge to players instead of them immediately finding out how to defeat her and easily beating her.
 * YandereDev has stated that you may be able to befriend her.
 * YandereDev has stated that she is a senior, since her backstory won't be able to work out if she's a junior.
 * She is not a fan of Magical Girl Pretty Miyuki.
 * She is heavily based off Rival-chan, including many jokes surrounding her.
 * Her appearance is taken almost directly from Rival-chan.
 * Her backstory as Osana's best friend provides the reason for her extremely similar appearance to Osana. Rival-chan herself was also the original design for Osana.
 * Her nickname as "The Indestructible Rival" is based off of the "Indestructible Rival" video series on YandereDev's YouTube Channel. The video also stems from the concept that Rival-chan is literally indestructible, while Raibaru will also be near-unkillable when she is implemented.
 * Raibaru is not the one who put the Mysterious Tapes around the school.
 * Her name "Raibaru" (ライバル) directly translates to "rival", while her surname "Fumetsu" (不滅) translates to "indestructible" or "immortal" in Japanese.
