Horuda Puresu (real name: Horuda Umetsu) is one of the female students who currently attends Akademi.
Horuda has upper back-length straight greasy[3] charcoal hair with a parted fringe that covers her left eye. She has dark gray eyes and a bust size of 1.
She wears the default uniform with short black socks and black panties unless customized by the player.
A shy and timid girl. Seems to be incapable of standing up for herself. For some reason, she gives me the impression that she could snap and become violent if pushed too far.
Among the personas that are currently implemented in the game, Horuda is Fragile. If she sees a corpse, she will run away from school and call the Police. If she witnesses a murder of a normal student, she will start begging for Ayano Aishi to spare her life in exchange for her silence and run out of the school, but won't call the police. If she witnesses a murder of or sees the corpse of a bully, she will react with the Spiteful persona like the Delinquents do. However, if a pre-bully Kokoro Momoiro is killed in front of her, she will do the same as if she witnesses the murder of a normal student. She is unable to engage in physical combat with murderers. If Ayano aims the Phone at her, she will cover her face in a unique way. Unlike other students who cower to the right and hide, she simply looks and covers her face in nervousness.
If her reputation is lowered to the point that she is being bullied, Ayano can deceive Horuda into thinking that a student of her choice has been spreading rumors about her, which will cause her to commit the murder-suicide of the person she is convinced has ruined her reputation.
In the Death Demon's ritual, it is revealed that Horuda is constantly daydreaming and fantasizing about taking the lives of various people who bullied her in the past. YandereDev also confirms that Horuda wants to kill people who have harmed her[4], such as the bullies.[5] If all of the Bullies are dead or missing, she will stand up straight and smile.
As of the September 1st, 2024 Build, Horuda will react with the Spiteful persona if she witnesses a bully being murdered or discovers the corpse of a bully. The next day, the player will be able to talk to Horuda without any sort of repercussions.
Due to Horuda's experience of being constantly bullied, she tends to isolate herself from other people. Even if Oka Ruto wanted to befriend her, Horuda's "role" as a bullied social outcast would make her stay away from Oka.[6]
Horror movies are too scary for her to watch.[7] Her favorite food is probably simple to make and can be eaten quickly. An example is Melonpan.[8] She reads Isekai stories.[8]
Her favorite clothes are sweaters and sweatpants. She looks like a fujoshi at home.[8]
Horuda's music type is dark and edgy music with a lot of lyrics talking about the world being terrible and hating everyone around them, wishing for their deaths.[9]
Horuda's desperate desires for a person to like and give her positive attention would even go as far as to be grateful for having a stalker.[10]
Horuda's deep-rooted insecurity goes so far that she'd think a yandere falling in love with her wouldn't be so bad because she believes no one would ever want her so a yandere would have zero competition.[11]
If she ever managed to make friends, she would try to make herself look like a good friend and be overly appeasing so that they'd never leave her.[12]
Horuda has been bullied at every school she's ever attended, from kindergarten to high school. The reason is always the same: "She's just creepy."[13]
At 7:00 AM, Horuda enters the school grounds, walks to her locker, and changes from her outdoor shoes to her indoor shoes. She walks to the Rooftop and draws gore on the left side of the rooftop. It can be used for Info-chan's Bounty on Monday in the First Week. At 8:00 AM, she walks into Classroom 1-2, sits at her desk, and plays on her phone. She starts her morning classes at 8:30 AM.
She leaves to go to the right side of the rooftop to eat her lunch at 1:00 PM. She walks back to class again at 1:22 PM, sits at her desk, and plays around on her phone again until her next classes start. Her next classes start at 1:30 PM.
At 3:30 PM, she lastly participates in cleaning time, which ends at 4:00 PM. During cleaning time, she can be seen cleaning the chalkboards in Classroom 2-2. She will remove any chalk from her erasers by slapping them together on the rooftop. It will give Ayano a chance to push her from the rooftop.
Afterward, she heads to her locker, changes from her indoor shoes to her outdoor shoes, and walks home.
At 7:00 AM, Horuda enters the school grounds, walks to her locker, and changes from her outdoor shoes to her indoor shoes. She will sit down and read near the lockers.
At 8:15 AM, Horuda will walk to Classroom 1-2, sit at her desk, and start her morning classes at 8:30 AM. Afterwards, she leaves to eat her lunch outside of Classroom 2-2 at 1:00 PM.
At 3:30 PM, she lastly participates in cleaning time, which ends at 4:00 PM. Afterward, she will go and read outside of Classroom 2-2 and stay there for the rest of the day.
The topics Horuda is Negative/Positive/Neutral towards are as follows:
She was originally implemented because of Musume Ronshaku's ID changing, which caused some bugs.
She was originally a placeholder character. However, she is no longer a placeholder character and will be in the final game.
YandereDev considered adding her in 1980s Mode[24] before deciding that she wouldn't be a placeholder anymore.
The reason she was kept in the final game was that she grew on the players and is heavily involved in Musume's story and character.
If she were replaced, she would have been replaced with a character from the Gaming Club and would be a boy. He would have been a "Hot Blooded" character who was always fired up and doing dramatic poses and shouting instead of speaking at a reasonable volume. His appearance might have been similar to Meito Anizawa from Lucky Star[25]
Her nickname, Horuda Puresu, comes from the Japanese word for "placeholder" (プレースホルダー).
Her surname, Umetsu, is a real Japanese surname that means "plum" (ume, 梅) and "harbor" (tsu, 津).
YandereDev thought that it was a cute idea for her to be the Occult Club president in 1980s Mode.[26]
Before the May 2nd Bug Fixing Build, Ayano could wear her original hairstyle by pressing the H key.
Her original hairstyle was the hair used in the easter egg Hateful Mode.
Pressing the H key in the debug menu will cause the day to reset. She will become a mind slave, kill Shin Higaku, and herself. If Shin is dead or absent, she will just end her own life.
She shares the same walking animation as Oka Ruto.
If all of the bullies are dead or go missing, she will now smile and walk with a straight posture.
Despite Kokoro not enjoying bullying, Horuda will still be shy if only Kokoro is left alive. This is because she refuses to forgive Kokoro for the stuff she did.[8]
However, as of the September 15th, 2024 Build, Horuda will smile and stand straight if only Kokoro is left alive. This may be because Horuda will feel safe if Kokoro quits bullying, even though she doesn't forgive her.
She is currently the only student with the Fragile persona.
She could've participated in Kokona Haruka's play as the lead role, since she fantasizes about killing the bullies. Ultimately, she would back out at the last minute due to her fear of screwing up and embarrassing herself on a stage in front of people.[27]
