Winter McCormick (マコーミック 冬 McCormick Winter)) is a participant of the Killing School Semester featured in Danganronpa: Killer Murder Mania. His title is the Ultimate Criminal Psychologist  (超高校級の「犯罪心理学」 lit. Super High School Level Criminal Psychologist).

Introduction

Winter was initially found sleeping in a crate, and was the last person to be introduced. Unlike the others, Winter knew the full extent of situation he was in and did not panic when Monokuma was introduced.

Mastermind

Throughout the game, Winter dedicated himself to finding the Mastermind and exposing them. He spent most of his time either exploring the school while the others were sleeping or holed up in his room, working tirelessly. He was 85% done before the mastermind found about his work.

Winters Fate

After his intentions were found out, the mastermind acted and summoned everyone to the gymnasium, where Winter would take his last breath.

Execution

Upon arrival, Winter was hoisted up onto a metal platform alone with Itsuki, Atsuto and Doyu. A chunk of the ground disappears and is suddenly replaced with a bed of spikes. It seems they’re all on some sort of platform as a timer is ticking down. One Minute. One minute until they’re all dead. Winter could save his friends or they could all die together. He has one minute to get everyone off of the platform as it suddenly began to disappear in little bits. Winter is forced to push everyone else off of the platform and sacrifice himself. He manages to get Atsuto off with ease. After this happens, two chains come down and latch onto Winters body. Winter then proceeds to convince Doyu and get him off of the platform. Two more chains latch onto the side of his body, preventing any chance of escape for Winter. Itsuki is left alone on the platform with Winter. Winter hugs and pulls Itsuki into a kiss before shoving him off too. After the timer runs out, a collar gets snapped onto Winters neck. The countdown stops and Winter gets thrown into the bed of spikes.
