"Because we're friends, aren't we?"— Secret Goldfish Gumi
Secret Goldfish Gumi, or just Gumi, is a character from the Secret's Story.
She is the main antagonist of the series and owns a box called the "Secret Goldfish," which she proceeds to put human body parts in and keep secret from her peers.
She eventually tells her presumed childhood best friend about the box.
Appearance[]
Secret Goldfish Gumi is modeled after GUMI.
She possesses shoulder-length green hair with long stray strands on each side and green eyes. She wears a beige kimono with a red hakama skirt and black thigh-high tabi. It is noted that this outfit is shared with another character who is represented by the same VOCALOID.
Personality[]
"Ribs, nose, fingers... even ankles; I want to collect them all."
Not much is known about Secret Goldfish Gumi's personality, but one thing is for certain is that she seems psychotic and even delusional, possibly killing people and stuffing their body parts within a box for a reason unknown.
One could say she is also manipulative and cunning, as when she told her best friend about her secret habit, she could have possibly tried to convince her to participate in it now that she knew the secret, saying that they are "friends" multiple times to maybe guilt tripped her.
By Miku participating, it meant giving either one or all of her body parts to Gumi to put in the box to create a "friend."
Background[]
Early Life[]
Not much is known about Secret Goldfish Gumi's childhood, but what is known is that, at a young age, she became close friends with another girl, Secret Goldfish Miku, even going to the extent of being best friends from childhood to possible adulthood.
At an unknown time, Gumi found a box containing human body parts that the original two owners left after their deaths to pass on. Gumi, possibly feeling an obligation, decided to continue the legacy of the box by killing and keeping more body parts within it.
She could have possibly kept the box a secret from her family, peers, and even her best friend for quite some time.
Himitsu no Kingyo[]
"With one piece of you, and one piece of this girl, and one piece of that girl, I'll make a friend."
One day, Gumi decided to tell her best friend, Miku, about her "treasure" and tried to convince her to participate with her in making a friend using a box.
Miku, unsure, said that she didn't know if she wanted to do it, but Gumi, wanting Miku to truthfully seal the promise and never tell anyone about her secret, presumably gouged her eyes out and tortured her.

Theories[]
- There is a common theory that this Gumi is one of Mai Shishikusa's reincarnations, seen by how they are represented by the same VOCALOID and share the same outfit, not to mention that it was said in Maha's Story that Mai is stuck in an endless cycle of reincarnations.
- It is unknown where or how Gumi found the box, but it is possible that she was a descendant or a relative of the two original box owners and was passed on to her before their deaths.
Trivia[]
- She has no official nor canon name at the moment.
