Character Name: Cosmo Ainsworth

Ultimate Talent: Ultimate Astronomer (or potentially Ultimate Astrologer, depending on the desired emphasis)

Appearance: Cosmo is a child of around 10-12 years old, appearing slightly smaller for their age due to a somewhat frail build. They have [hair color] hair, usually styled in a messy but endearing way, and [eye color] eyes that often hold a distant, thoughtful gaze, as if lost in the contemplation of the cosmos. They are almost always seen clutching their plush Jupiter, a large, well-loved toy Jupiter with slightly faded patches and a missing button eye. Their clothing style is practical and comfortable, often consisting of layered sweaters, jeans, and sturdy boots suitable for exploring outdoors at night. They might wear a small, homemade constellation pin or patch on their clothing.

Personality: Cosmo is quiet and introspective, preferring the company of books, telescopes, and their plush Jupiter to other children. They possess a sharp intellect and an intense curiosity about the universe, readily absorbing information about astronomy, astrology, and related fields. Their emotional range is somewhat limited, often appearing detached or even apathetic towards things that don't relate to their passions. While not outwardly hostile, they can be stubbornly resistant to anything that interferes with their studies or time spent observing the stars. They have a deep-seated sadness stemming from their past, but it manifests as a quiet melancholy rather than outward anger or resentment. Their attachment to Jupiter is a significant source of comfort and security.

Backstory: Cosmo's biological mother was neglectful and emotionally unavailable. Their adopted father, [Father's Name], killed Cosmo's mother in a fit of rage after years of enduring her abuse and neglect. The event is a traumatic memory that Cosmo subconsciously represses, though it subtly influences their detached demeanor. Their father, despite his actions, genuinely loves Cosmo and tries to connect with them, but his attempts to involve them in sports and other activities are consistently rebuffed. Cosmo finds solace only in the vastness of space, seeing it as a comforting escape from the complexities and pain of human relationships. Their fascination with astronomy and astrology provides a sense of order and predictability in a world that felt chaotic and unpredictable in their early life. Jupiter, a gift from their father shortly after the incident, serves as a constant reminder of the love and stability their father provides, even if Cosmo struggles to fully express or reciprocate those feelings.

Scenario Potential: Cosmo's backstory provides ample opportunities for dramatic irony and character development. The contrast between their calm exterior and the hidden trauma could be explored. Their unique talent could be used to solve mysteries or provide insights into the killings in a Danganronpa-style setting. The relationship with their adopted father could be a significant plot point, exploring themes of guilt, forgiveness, and the complexities of family. The plush Jupiter could serve as a symbolic representation of their emotional vulnerability and their need for comfort and security. Their knowledge of astronomy and astrology could be used to create suspenseful or mysterious elements within the narrative. For example, they might use astrological charts to predict events or interpret clues related to the murders.

Motivations: Cosmo's primary motivation is to understand the universe and unravel its mysteries. They are driven by an insatiable curiosity and a desire to find meaning and order in a world that once felt chaotic. Secondary motivations might include protecting their adopted father, finding a way to reconcile their past trauma, or simply finding a place where they truly belong.
