Terano Totobami, a key figure within the Hundred Devouring Families’ Totobami branch, specializes in mediating disputes and maintaining equilibrium among clan factions through calculated compromise. Bound to a wheelchair due to an undisclosed leg disability, she navigates Hyakkaou Academy with the aid of Yumi Totobami, her legs perpetually draped in a blue blanket. Her striking features—a pallid complexion, sharply sectioned bangs framing short black hair (dark brown in animated adaptations), and piercing dark brown eyes—complement the academy’s standard uniform, projecting an air of composed authority. As the strategic linchpin uniting branch families against Kirari Momobami’s leadership, Terano seeks to dismantle her cousin’s self-serving reign, which she views as destabilizing the clan’s foundations. Though driven by contempt for Kirari’s erratic governance, she privately grapples with an unresolved hope to reform rather than destroy her, prioritizing communal well-being over individualistic freedom. This ethical stance manifests in her refusal to exploit vulnerable opponents, a principle Kirari derides as a tactical weakness. Her childhood encounters with Kirari and Ririka Momobami shaped her aversion to reckless gambles. During a formative gathering, she rejected the twins’ high-stakes wager threatening her family’s status, discerning their manipulative intent and the futility of distinguishing between the identical sisters—a decision cementing her commitment to risk-averse, collective preservation. In the student council election, Terano orchestrated a meticulous campaign, deploying vote-buying schemes and the Greater Good Game to rally support. She weaponized Rei Batsubami’s influence to control vote allocation until Rei’s defection forced her to pivot, exploiting external betting pools and alliances to briefly outmaneuver Kirari. Her targeted offers of 5 million yen per vote to financially desperate housepets underscored her pragmatic yet principled approach. A critical setback emerged when Yumeko Jabami and Ryota Suzui dismantled her vote stockpile in a high-stakes gamble, exposing the fragility of even her most guarded strategies. Terano’s dynamic with Kirari intertwines rivalry with begrudging respect, recognizing her cousin’s chaotic methods as both destructive and paradoxically transformative for the clan. Her film appearance in *Kakegurui Part 2: Desperate Russian Roulette* briefly positions her among clan members confronting Yumeko, though her specific involvement remains undefined. Throughout her arc, Terano embodies the tension between duty and personal ambition, the moral complexities of leadership, and the precarious balance of neutrality in a hierarchy fueled by power struggles.
