(Added some tropes regarding Chihiro's gender. Yes, it's misaimed but I believe it's more nuanced.) |

Line 21:
* [[Cry for the Devil]]: Celestia's four manga chapters expend a lot of effort to show the level of her insecurity about her past, such as the shot of her younger self perched on a [[Trauma Swing]] when Makoto asks what her real name is. The final scene punches this one home where she's narrating that she ''has'' to die as Celeste while she's giving her [[Motive Rant]]; it says a lot that the first thought on her mind is staying in-character instead of the fact that ''she's about to die''.
* [[Draco in Leather Pants]]:
** Fans tend to forget that regardless of the situation pushed by Monokuma, Celestia still is responsible for two premeditated murder- manipulating Hifumi into killing Taka, then killing him herself (unlike Leon, who killed Sayaka in response to her own attempt to kill him, and Mondo, who killed Chihiro in a fit of rage), making her one of the most depraved characters in the game, but she carries herself in such an elegant, amusing manner that even her [[Freak
** There's also Genocide Jack, who's unabashed in her status as a [[Serial Killer]]. Her reason for not killing anyone in the game is solely for [[Pragmatic Villainy]] instead of [[Even Evil Has Standards]] (though that trope does come up when she discusses the mastermind's actions), making her someone you would not want to meet in an alley alone, especially if you're a hot guy. Of course, when you're under the grip of Monokuma, it's easy to get fans tone down your depravity, and fandoms being obsessed with fictional serial killers simply on the logic that being a serial killer is hot is far from new.
** Similarly, more than one Leon fan '''completely''' excuses his murder of Sayaka. Truth is, while he's not ''evil'', in the original VN and the anime, he could have just left her inside the bathroom that had its door jammed in, and then gone to denounce her, but he ''chose'' to kill her instead. The manga interpretation kinda helps this camp though, see [[Alternate Character Interpretation]] above. ''Absolute Despair Girls'' saved him further when he showed his genuine tender side on Kanon in spite of constantly rejecting her and cemented some of the personality traits introduced in the manga.
