[-'''Crush Crush''' (Girls) | Characters/BlushBlush (Guys) | Characters/CabinFever | [[Characters/HushHushOnlyYourLoveCanSaveThem Hush Hush]]-]]]]]

* LeaningOnTheFourthWall: In her first picture, she's clearly playing the UsefulNotes/NintendoSwitch version of ''Crush Crush itself'', with her Acquaintance level having her mention playing ''[[FictionalCounterpart Crash Crash]]'' on her phone[[note]]Referencing the Android version[[/note]].

* HornedHumanoid: The preview for her version of the Event depicts her with two large, ram-like, curled horns coming out of the sides of her head.

** Nutaku's fine with everything... [[Main/Yandere except for murder]].

* HeroesWantRedheads: Her status as a hero is up for discussion, but she will express a desire for a threesome involving Nina, and has apparently spent considerable time ogling Bonnibel naked.

* ExtremeOmnisexual: A given, seeing the [[DatingSim type of game]] [[AffectionateParody this is.]] You can romance interdimensional deities, ghosts, holograms, and even a '''[[InterspeciesRomance bear]]'''.

* {{Expy}}: Of Ayano from ''VideoGame/YandereSimulator'', with elements of Monika from ''VisualNovel/DokiDokiLiteratureClub''. Originally, Ayano herself was in ''Crush Crush'', but she was replaced with Ayeka in a later update.

** Nutaku's fine with everything... [[VideoGame/YandereSimulator except for murder]].

* NoSenseOfDirection: Implied when she goes on a Sightseeing Date, she is looking at a map and making a PictorialSpeechBubble of a squiggle, likely to represent confusion or frustration. If you look closely, she's also holding the map upside down.

** The background of her "Friendzone" image (pictured above) resembles the default wallpaper for [[UsefulNotes/{{Windows}} Windows XP]].

--->'''Nutaku:''' Someone is being creepy enough to dull my sex drive. That is an AMAZING accomplishment.

-->'''Nutaku:''' Well, despite my many fetishes, I don't count being murdered being one of them. A little bit of choking is okay though...

* IneffectualSympatheticVillain: While she's just as keen on eliminating her rivals as ever, none of her attempts ever pan out[[note]]apart from her murder of Generica[[/note]] and she's a full-fledged love interest.

* {{Expy}}: Of Ayano from ''VideoGame/YandereSimulator''. Originally, Ayano herself was in ''Crush Crush'', but she was replaced with Ayeka in a later update.

* OnlySaneMan: With people like [[MagicalGirl Pamu and Luna]], [[BecomeYourWeapon Q-Pernikiss and Eva]], [[BearsAreBadNews Bearverly]], and [[BigBad The Dark One]], it says an lot regarding ]]{{Yandere}} what Ayeka can do]] and yet still seem like the most normal person of the bunch...

* BigBeautifulMan / BigBeautifulWoman: According to Ayano, Marshmallow is 4'2" and weighs 103 lbs, which means that they are overweight for their height [[note]]Granted, considering the Badass and Buff stats, most of the excess weight might just be muscle[[/note]]. Doesn't stop them from gaining a large harem.

* FeaturelessProtagonist: In a sense. You can't get more featureless than a White Blob. Ayano points out a few features from her [[StalkerWithACrush "research"]], though (specifically, that they're 4'2", weigh 103 lbs, and have a birthmark on their right heel).

* ShorterMeansSmarter: If you level up your wisdom or intelligence stats a lot, considering Ayano explicitly describes Marshmallow as being 4'2".

* BerserkButton: Getting outplayed. Both Ayano and [[HeartbreakAndIceCream Marshmallow]] do this, and the scaling of poorly she loses her cool depends on whom did it.
--> '''Ayano:''' I played Mio on Get Smashed, and when I beat her, she... Well, nevermind. It's just a small bruise.

* GamerChick: Her theme. Ayano thinks she may be addicted with them.
--> '''Ayano''': I love Video Games! But I'm worried Mio might be addicted to them. Has she ever [[BerserkButton over-reacted to losing a game?]]

* LeaningOnTheFourthWall: Whenever [[VideoGame/YandereSimulator Ayano]] is involved, usually in a form of being worried.
--> '''Mio''': Suddenly, killing girls in ''VideoGame/YandereSimulator'' feels weird to me. Am I losing my edge? / I was playing ''VideoGame/YandereSimulator'' today, and got a weird Meta-Deja-Vu feeling from it.

* BeyondTheImpossible: Ayano is the only person to actually dull down her lust.

* DarkAndTroubledPast: According to Ayano, she's worried about how awful Nutaku's childhood was to have her be [[EthicalSlut who she is now]]
** However, Ayano frequently lies about all the girls in an attempt to get you to stay away from them, so this is likely not true.

** Ayano is creepy enough to dull her sex drive. Nutaku says that's an amazing accomplishment.

[[folder:Ayano Aishi]]
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/ayano_2.png]]

The protagonist of ''VideoGame/YandereSimulator''. In the ''Crush Crush'' world, Marshmallow is her beloved Sempai, with all the secretive (and sometimes literal) backstabbing of her rivals that entails.

* AdaptationalHeroism:
** It's relatively minor, but [[spoiler:even if Q-Pernikiss is the one who performs the HeroicSacrifice, she's still crying tears of sorrow. This is one of her romantic rivals, mind you]].
** She's concerned about [[EthicalSlut Nutaku]], wanting her to find interests that aren't just sexual...although [[SlutShaming she states it in a way that makes herself sound better in comparison]].
---> Hopefully someday Nutaku can find something other than sex that makes her feel like a better person.
* AgeLift: To make the sex scenes in the NSFW version legal, she's aged up from 17 in ''Yandere Simulator'' to 18 in ''Crush Crush''.

* EmotionlessGirl: {{Implied|Trope}}. Fumi notes that her "psiomic skimmer" can't detect Ayano's motives and says that whoever is hunting her is either either extremely skilled or utterly emotionless. Ayano also has this gem at Awkward Besties level:
-->'''Ayano:''' I wonder what it's like to have emotions. [[VerbalBackspace I mean emoticons]]. Instead of a face, I guess?

* GirlsLoveChocolate: Ayano has Chocolates as her preferred gift.
* HorrifyingTheHorror: Looking into [[EmptyShell Ayano]]'s eyes [[spoiler:terrified the Dark One]].

* InJoke: A lot of [[MythologyGag references to her original game]] surround her, such as her bust size being "variable" or her lines about pointless emails like what her game's developer is constantly bothered by.
* IntercontinuityCrossover: She is Ayano Aishi from ''VideoGame/YandereSimulator''.

-->'''Ayano:''' YOU'LL NEVER TAKE ME--Oh, sorry! You surprised me! I thought you were someone else, tee hee!

-->'''Ayano:''' That [[spoiler:Darkness Girl]] is so lost and alone. But if she's going to [[spoiler:destroy the world]], I guess we should kill [[ItIsDehumanizing it]].
-->'''Ayano:''' If you'd like my help dealing with that [[spoiler:Darkness Girl]], Senpai, I can grab my box cutter anytime.
-->'''Ayano''': So you're trying to defeat the [[spoiler:Darkness Girl]] with ThePowerOfLove? May I suggest a spiked bat?

* OnlySaneMan: With people like [[MagicalGirl Pamu and Luna]], [[BecomeYourWeapon Q-Pernikiss and Eva]], [[BearsAreBadNews Bearverly]], and [[BigBad The Dark One]], it says an lot regarding [[VideoGame/YandereSimulator what Ayano can do]] and yet still seem like the most normal person of the bunch... [[BreastExpansion despite having a variable bust size.]]

--> '''Ayano:''' [-(describing her new knife)-] "Guaranteed not to slip, even when covered in... milk."

'''Ayano:''' I think that Pamu might not be human... She laughs when she's stabbed... [[OrSoIHeard I hear.]]

---> '''Ayano:''' I heard people with narcolepsy sometimes slip and fall and stab themselves with knives 20 or 30 times. How awful!
* RussianReversal: Instead of the typical relationship level notifications ("You are now Sweethearts with Ayano!"), her notifications focus on her relationship to you ("Ayano is starting to notice you!").
* ShoutOut: One of Ayano's poses is Yuno Gasai's memetic "yandere face" from ''Manga/FutureDiary''.
** Ayano's behavior of giving info upon the various girls is an shout out to Info-Chan from Ayano's [[VideoGame/YandereSimulator main game]]
* TeamRocketWins: The only instance where she "wins" is just when Marshmallow is about to meet Generica for the first time and Ayano kills her the first chance she gets. Though, this only lasts until Generica is brought back as a ghost, and later resurrected back to life.
* UnreliableNarrator: Switching another girl with Ayano will have her, if not imply a possible foiled incident, discuss tidbits about the girls in question. Though, how much of what she says is the truth is questionable, considering she wants them gone and/or dead.

* BerserkButton: Messing with her drinks as could be seen in a post-Ayano remark.

'''Ayano:''' I think that Pamu might not be human... She laughs when she's stabbed... [[OrSoIHeard I hear.]]

* BigBeautifulWoman: Despite just having a softer physique than the other girls, the game treats her this way. Ayano has [[HollywoodPudgy a different opinion.]]

* DeadlyGaze: Looking into her eyes is enough to kill people.
** Unless you're [[spoiler:Ayano]], apparently.
-->'''[[spoiler:Ayano]]''': That Darkness Girl stared into my eyes today. But then she seemed to get spooked, and ran away. How strange!

* NotAfraidToDie: Fond of taunting Ayano.
-->'''The Dark One''': I'm going to loosen my shoes and stand near a balcony. Let Ayano know.\\

'''The Dark One''': Will someone hand Ayano a baseball bat or something and encourage her to follow her dreams?

Marshmallow's high school crush, who they confess their love to and ask to meet under the school's sakura trees for a date. Initially introduced as one of the girls, she is then immediately [[MurderTheHypotenuse CRUSHED (stabbed) by Ayano]], who Marshmallow runs into thinking that Generica has rejected them.

* AscendedExtra: A double example. In the base game she was originally a BaitAndSwitch that introduces Ayano and dies as soon as she's introduced, but come the Phone Flings update she begins to contact you upon becoming Frenemies with Ayano, expanding upon her character and story. She would go on to place third in the second voting poll to become a full-fledged date in the game; unlike the first poll, all of the top three were added.

* DecoyProtagonist: She's initially presented as the eighth girl, but is soon killed by Ayano (the actual eighth girl).

* MeaningfulName: Her name is meant to evoke the generic, high school love interest. [[SubvertedTrope Subverted]] because her design is that of the very identifiable Kokona Haruka.

* RoaringRampageOfRevenge: While not acted upon, she sounds... very bitter whenever you trigger her one of her dialogue upon switching between Ayano and her. [[spoiler:[[GameplayAndStorySegregation Even after reviving her.]]]]

* SacrificialLamb: She briefly appears, getting ready to meet Marshmallow for a date, only to be killed off very early by Ayano.

* WeHardlyKnewYe: Killed by Ayano in her intro cutscene. Comes back in the Phone Flings update though. Completely subverted since she was [[AscendedExtra made datable]].

* HighlyVisibleNinja: As Ayano puts it, everyone knows she's a ninja in spite of most ninjas being secret.

* NightmareFetishist: She finds Ayano adorable.

* AbsoluteCleavage: Her dress certainly shows off her power. As Ayano puts it, doesn't leave much to the imagination.

* ShoutOut: As she once explicitly states that she's suppose to promote the other games hosted on her home-site, she does indirectly name-drops another HGame (until it became defunct later on).
-->'''Nutaku:''' Shout-out to my girls in the Knights of Flower. My reference may be indirect, but my love is real!

* GirlsAreReallyScaredOfHorrorMovies: One part of her second phone fling involves her texting Marshmallow for support after being dared to watch a horror movie.

* ChristmasCake: She's 27, which puts her in the upper end of the age range for "normal" ages among the girls. It's apparent she harbors some personal issues regarding this, as the discovery of a grey hair "crushes" her self-esteem the first time you sit in on one of her classes.

* JigglePhysics: Used as a bit of dirty talk in the NSFW version, where she suggests Marshmallow help her run some very thorough experiments involving them.
