Trap Yuri Tempest

Trap Yuri Tempest is a visual novel set at Ayanohara Academy, a prestigious girls’ school. Reona Murasaki, known as the academy’s charismatic “Prince,” turns down every confession she receives, leaving the student council to deal with a steady stream of heartbreak. To stop the romance turmoil, the “Empress of the Rose Garden,” Asuka Senjuin, decides that Reona must take a lover—and chooses her younger sister Mahiro for the role. Mahiro is a delinquent who dislikes cross-dressing and says she has no interest in dating boys, and she hates Reona.

The characters

Mahiro Senjuin is a rebellious aristocrat who uses gyaru fashion to push back against her family’s traditions. Although she initially hated cross-dressing, her look suits her so well that she comes across as a cute gyaru. She gets along with Iori, another outsider, but despises Reona.

Reona Murasaki is half-Japanese and half-foreign, with the appearance and charisma that earned her the academy’s singular “Prince” status. Though she does not usually cross-dress, fate leads her to do so; her appearance in feminine attire earns her a new following and the name “Silver Princess.”

Iori Kidou, the previous game’s protagonist, is now student council president. Her skill at cross-dressing developed through her rivalry with Mikage, and after a series of twists she became Mikage’s lover. They are currently in a long-distance relationship. Iori is known to some students as the “Goddess of Black Camellia.”

Mikage Ayanohara fell in love with Iori in the previous game and admires her so much that she calls her “grande soeur.” Behind her kind, cute appearance is a cutthroat personality; students call her the “White Lily Fairy.”

Asuka Senjuin is Mahiro’s older sister and dotes on her. Proud of her prestigious family, she often clashes with Mikage and is known as the “Empress of the Rose Garden.”

Shizuka Kiriyama is Iori and Reona’s homeroom teacher. Students adore her youthful charm and her tendency to sulk and throw tantrums when angry. Her younger sister, Riri Kiriyama, is a cross-dressing maid sent from the Senjuin family headquarters to help at the academy. Riri tries to do her job well but often misdirects her efforts and gets scolded by Asuka and Mahiro.
