Nozomi Komabami belongs to the Hundred Devouring Families, a coalition of financial clans seeking to overthrow Kirari Momobami’s reign as Hyakkaou Private Academy’s Student Council President. Her Komabami family, implied to specialize in finance, endures scorn from branches of the Momobami network. She enters the academy with fellow clan representatives to compete in election gambles, motivated to defy the Momobami hierarchy despite her lesser gambling skills relative to kin. Her appearance features dark brown twin low pigtails, hazel eyes, and bold eyebrows. She dons the standard uniform with shorts beneath her skirt and sporty spats, emphasizing practicality for her active lifestyle. A Saint Bernard dog, her constant companion, underscores her affection for animals. Nozomi projects a determined, serious front but harbors insecurities stemming from familial neglect, fueling a persecution complex. This vulnerability leads her to trust Rin Obami’s Scumcoin ploy, swapping election votes for worthless currency. Yearning for validation, she allies with Ririka Momobami and Mary Saotome after Ririka’s genuine respect—a rare gesture that anchors her loyalty. In the election arc, she loses 14 of 15 Gin Rummy matches to Ririka. Scumcoin losses eliminate her from the race, but she shifts focus to mediating Ririka and Rin’s gamble, transitioning from challenging the Momobamis to bolstering Ririka’s cause. Later, she reignites her ambition, challenging Ririka anew. Her growth emerges through rejecting her family’s condescension to support Ririka and Mary. Initially clumsy and strategically inexperienced, she displays tenacity through risks like declaring her intent to “defeat what I hate” against Mary. Her journey underscores resilience amid naivety, centering on self-worth and the quest for acknowledgment within a merciless power structure.
