- Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc.

Momoe Izumihara (泉原 百恵) was a student at Hope's Peak Academy's Class 78th and participant of the Killing School Life. As the president of the Public Morals Comittee of her former high school and known to put rules above all else, she received the title of Ultimate Moral Compass (超高校級の風紀委員, lit. Super High School Level Public Morals Committee Member).

Appearance
Momoe was a quite tall, young woman with fair complex and slim body. She had short, pink hair in a bob cut and blue eyes. She is described as cute by Yukio Shizukane. Momore wore her uniform flawlessly: white long-sleeved, buttoned shirt (also on the sleeves) that is put under a blue skirt above the knees with four buttons on her left hem, black socks on her calves and brown shoes, along with of a red tie around her neck. In addition, she wears red-rimmed glasses.

Personality
Momoe was a strict person, very polite, disciplined and quiet.. She was a quite forceful leader but also very confident in herself to the point of thinking that she is right about everything she says. Momoe was also sophisticated and described as a true and beautiful lady. She followed the school rules with her life and taked her job as the Public Morals Committee President very seriously, making everyone else follow her principles. She also cared a lot about her classmates, as she stated that Rei Kindaichi should rest for a bit while fixing the laptop.

After being infected with despair, however, she was very hypocritical and only wanted to feel despair as her "master" instructed. Although Rei himself is neither hope or despair, his surbodinates did everything to entertain him in the most desperate state possible and it was not different for Momoe. When Miki Kagurazaka tried to take blame for Natsuki Akabane's murder, she got angry at her for taking her excitement about being seen as suspicious. Even though, she said that she loved her time with everyone and that she would see them in the afterlife, implying that Momoe still liked her classmates as before.

Talent and Abilities
Momoe was the president of the Public Moral Committe at her former high school, which she studied through a scholarship. She was very intelligent and smart, as she could think quickly of a plan to kill Natsuki and most likely didn't get caught until the very end, even using Miki's alibi to do so. As she was in a private school with a scholarship, Momoe had much knowledge about many subjects in general, but was also quite naive as she didnt understand much about relationships.

Early life
Her mother got pregnant after being irresponsible in a night of wildness with a guy. In April, she gave birth to Momoe at age seventeen and raised her with the help of her parents who made themselves available to take care of her since she still wanted to at least finish her studies at high school. Momoe as a child never met her father and never wanted to after hearing that he didn't want to help her mother with their child.

Momoe grew up seeing her mother work hard for her and always told her to don't be tricked by any promises made by other people,making her believe that she shouldn't trust people so much. She valued studies more than anyone else since her mother couldn't finish them. This also made her solitary as she didn't developed any relationships in her childhood as she rejected everyone's attempts with the excuse that she would study more.

At some point, she got accepted in a private school, Bell River Girls Private Academy (私立鈴川女子学園), and started studying there with a scolarship. Momoe quickly became the president of the Public Morals Committee and that got Hope's Peak Academy's eyes on her. They invited her to attend as the Ultimate Moral Compass and she quickly accepted.

Killing School Life
Momoe was among the sixteen who were trapped inside Hope's Peak Academy. She was exploring the school area and was puzzled by the second floor being blocked by iron bars. As she met Amaya Hayama and Yukio, she told them about the mysterious stairs and wondered about what would be there.

Trivia
