* ActionGirl: With title like Escrimador, you know she can kick some mighty butt if she ever feels the need to.

%%* WeaponOfChoice: Most of the cast fall under the personality tropes associated with their favorite weapons.

%%* JerkAss: If you took the time to read through most of this page, than you must have realized that this guy can be quite the wanker, especially when he wants to be one.
%%* SmugSnake: He's a jerk and he has this holier-than-thou attitude that constantly grinds the gears of the other characters.

%%* AssKickingEqualsAuthority: Downplayed, most of the time. But she if isn't kicking ass she's usually [[FaceOfAThug staring others to death with intimidating looks]].

'''Warning! All spoilers below are unmarked.'''
---> ''It's impossible to list tropes for these characters without spoilers or creating [[Administrivia/SelfFulfillingSpoiler Self Fulfilling Spoilers]] because of the amount of reveals and murderer/victim exclusive tropes this fanfic contains.''

* [[AHouseDivided A House Divided]]: Monokuma's game has this effect, as you can't know who's going to try to graduate, especially with people like [[LeaderWannabe Yevan]], who immediately takes charge after the introduction sequence therefore [[FromBadToWorse further alienating the group]].
* [[ConspicuousGloves Conspicuous Gloves]]: Double-Subversion, though not intended by the writer he has a lot of characters who wear gloves, some for no apparent reason, and for other it seems a tad more logical. The author jabs at this during author notes and chapter 2, stating that [[JapaneseSchoolClub all the glove wearing people could start a glove club]].
* [[CrashIntoHello Crash Into Hello]]: Hello Megumi Tsuji, How Ar--! ''Smash!''
* [[GenreBlind Genre Blind]]: Most of the students try to remain hopeful that there won't be any murders - or any more murders - in a mystery [[FridgeHorror horror]] fanfic. Of course, they're trying to avoid falling into despair like Monokuma wants, but [[KillEmAll most of them will fail]].
* [[JackBauerInterrogationTechnique Jack Bauer Interrogation Technique]]: Yevan and Tetsu tried this to Monokuma, but [[NiceJobBreakingItHero it all goes horribly wrong]]..
* [[LovelyAngels Lovely Angels]]: Yevan and Makoto are growing towards this trope. They also fit in as the [[RedOniBlueOni Blue and Red Oni respectively]], even though one might consider Yevan to be a rather unorthodox Blue oni.
* [[MeaningfulName Meaningful Names]]: Most of the cast has them.

** Yuuta's name can be described can mean ''Big/thick hero'', which is clever considering he's the protagonist.
** Yevan's real name, Yên-Vân Lý. Roughly translates to ''Safety of reason'' in Vietnamese, considering her role as self-appointed leader, it seems intended.

** Kuno means ''A honest advisor'' in German, something that is very similar to his role in chapter 3, when he warned Tetsu for Monokuma and later in the same chapter with Yuuta, he took an that role once again.

** ''Healthy/Strong with Big/Thick'' is the translation of Kenta's name, need I say more?

* [[SiblingTeam Sibling Team]]: Hibiki and Tsubasa are this, well.. Hibiki is the one who puts 'Team' in the [[BrotherSisterTeam Team]].
* [[ThisCannotBe This Cannot be]]: Basically the reaction of the entire group when they found out that they were both trapped and stuck in a [[DeadlyGame death game]].
* [[WackyHomeroom Wacky Homeroom]]: With all their super high-school specialties, the cast is certainly quirky - and homicidal. Not to mention some of their eccentric personalities, I'm looking at you Akiko and Ryoka.
* [[WeaponOfChoice Weapon Of Choice]]: Most of the cast fall under the personality tropes associated with their favorite weapons.
* [[YouAllMeetInACell You All Meet in a Cell]]: Since the Yuuta was one of the last to arrive, it isn't clear if everyone necessarily met at the school entrance, but the spirit of the trope is still in effect.

[[caption-width-right:350:Yuuta Hirota. SHSL Marksman. Token Normal Student.]]

* [[AmateurSleuth Amateur Sleuth]]: As our protagonist he is certainly one of these, with some help from his fellow classmates, mostly Ryoka, Kuno and Megumi.
* [[BecauseYouWereNiceToMe Becuase Your Were Nice To Me]]: Yuuta struggles to point out that Kenta murdered Hibiki thanks to this, luckily he perseveres despite his obvious hesitation.
* [[BorrowedCatchPhrase Borrowed Catch Phrase]]: From Makoto Naegi and Hajime Hinata, the actual protagonists of ''VisualNovel/DanganronpaTriggerHappyHavoc''.

* [[CaptainObvious Captain Obvious]]: Really Yuuta? [[SarcasmMode I wonder what gave it away..]]
** Chapter 2.
--->'''Megumi''': Yeap. That's right. It's Hope's Peak's Academy logo.
--->'''Yuuta''': I think it's safe to say this is Hope's Peak Academy.
* [[CrushBlush Crush Blush]]: [[ShipPing Shipping intensifies!]] Around Megumi, of course.
* [[GunNut Gun Nut]]: His talent is the major indicator for this, though he often monologues or speaks in gun language.
** In chapter 3.
--->'''Yuuta''': ''It was then when I heard the distinctively familiar 'click' I've hear at the shooting range''.
* [[ScarsAreForever Scars Are Forever]]: Apparently Yuuta has obtained a scar somewhere before his memory wipe.
* [[StraightMan Straight Man]]: Somewhat. He's usually the one musing about others' bizarre personality quirks.
* [[TheEveryman The Everyman]]: Despite his knowledge of guns and his talent, he mostly falls into this area.
* [[TheGenericGuy The Generic Guy]]: He's physically unremarkable for the most part, especially compared to the other students.
* [[TheKirk The Kirk]]: Is frequently able to act as a unifying force amongst his classmates, bridging logic with heart to lead everyone to the truth and a calm daily life, even though he kinda doesn't want to.
-->'''Yuuta''': ''[[GotVolunteered Why do I always end up in situations like this]]''.
* [[TheProtagonist The Protagonist]]: Since the second chapter Yuuta has been narrating the events that befall the characters that surround him.
* [[MeaningfulName Meaningful Name]]: His name references the theme of ''[[TheHero hero]]'', which adds to his protagonist like role in the fanfic.
* [[NiceGuy Nice Guy]]: He seems to be able to get along with just about anyone.
* [[QuipToBlack Quip Yo Black]]: Though it doesn't fade into an opening sequence, it does end a scene.
** Chapter 4.
--->'''Yuuta''': this Fuh (Phở) is Fuh-reaking good!

[[caption-width-right:350:Megumi Tsuji. SHSL Artificer. Watch Out For Her Finger Banging Technique.]]

* [[DeuterAgonist Deuteragonist]]: Though not certain, the writer seems to be heading into this direction with her character, especially since she's also the second one to be introduced into the story.
* [[ImpliedLoveInterest Implied Lover Interest]]: Yuuta seems clearly interested in her, but Megumi is hard to read and therefore it's uncertain if she even sees him that way, it doesn't help that even Akiko [[ShipperOnDeck ships them too]].
* [[GadgeteerGenius Gadgeteer Genius]]: Her talent, paired with the fact that she ''outranks'' her own dad when it comes to engineering.
* [[FingerGun Finger Gun]]: When meeting you potential love interest, make sure you point your finger at him and pull the trigger. I guess you can say that she.. [[AccidentalPun Fingerbanged him]].. [[OhCrap Oh god..]] [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone Why did I make that joke]]?
* [[TheMedic The Medic]]: Due to her expertise in microscopic gadget engineering, she took on the role as the 'improvised' surgeon of the cast.
* [[TheSmartGuy The Smart Girl]]: Have you seen her title, no? Then read again, and grab a dictionary for crying out loud.
** Chapter 3.
--->'''Megumi''': I mostly just tinker with military equipment.

[[caption-width-right:350:Yên-Vân Lý. SHSL Escrimador. Death-Glaring Leader Wannabe.]]

* [[ActionGirl Action Girl]]: With title as Escrimador you know she can kick some mighty butt if she ever felt the need to.
* [[AssKickingEqualsAuthority Ass Kicking Equals Authority]]: Downplayed, most of the time. But she if isn't kicking ass she's usually [[FaceOfAThug staring others to death with intimidating looks]].
* [[DeathGlare Death Glare]]: Usually everyone backs off when they see this, except for Tsubasa. According to the Yuuta her stare even gets ''[[INeedYouStronger stronger]]'' the more she uses it.
* [[FeminineWomenCanCook Feminie Women Can Cook]]: Subverted, because Yevan is everything but a feminine girl, and in the spirit of Yuuta.
** Chapter 4.
--->'''Yuuta:''': this Fuh (Phở) is Fuh-reaking good!
* [[HotBlooded Hot Blooded]]: Played straight so far, she even dashes off the very moments she hears Akiko's scream, [[DudeWheresMyRespect too bad her efforts goes by unnoticed to most of her peers]].
* [[KnifeNut Knife Nut]]: She must be one, since she's as good at Escrima as she is. Knifes are weapons that are the most associated with that marital art.
* [[LeaderWannabe Leader Wannabe]]: Before she outright appoints herself as leader in chapter 3, she already shows her commanding nature during the 2nd chapter.

--->'''Yevan''': Hey, can't you read? Get over here and get your ElectroID.

--->'''Yevan''': In times of great duress one should be appointed so everyone can act as one. I volunteer myself for the job.
--->'''Tsubasa''': Yeah? Well, you're the one who went [[FearlessFool guns-blazing]] on Monokuma and nearly turned into swiss cheese if it weren't for Kuno.
--->'''Kuno''': Oh no please. I would like to accept Yevan as our leader as [[IJustWantToBeNormal I don't like to placed in such an open position anyways]].
--->'''Yevan''': See? He already agrees to my leadership. [[TyrantTakesTheHelm I don't see the point of debating this any longer]].
* [[PassionateSportsGirl Passionate Sports Girl]]: Escrima isn't a sport you just do without having any heart in it, if you didn't have the discipline for it, it would be not possible to do it for long periods of time.
* [[TallDarkAndSnarky Tall, Dark And Snarky]]: Yevan is certainly snarky enough to qualify, and for the ''dark'' part, she and Tetsu are the only characters who's tans border on milky brown color.
* [[TattooAsCharacterType Tattoo As Character Type]]: It's confirmed she has a tattoo, during chapter 4 but what shape, style and size still remain unknown.
* [[TheUnfettered The Unfettered]]: Downplayed so far, due being slightly reluctant to head into the despair dormitory, due to potential fear of exploding bombs, but she outright trumps everyone in the bravery department by stepping in first voluntarily, [[FearlessFool wonder if she even thought that through]].
* [[TheUnpronounceable The Unpronounceable]]: Yên-Vân Lý. What is this, how do I even...? Luckily she knows that it is a mind bendingly hard name to pronounce for non-Vietnamese people and [[OnlyKnownByTheirNickname coined the nickname]], Yevan.
* [[TokenMinority Token Minority]]: She's the only actual foreigner within the 79th class of Hope's Peak.
* [[TsurimeEyes Tsurime Eyes]]: Yuuta always states how she has a sharp gaze, flows well with this trope.

[[caption-width-right:350:Akiko Takumi. SHSL Billiards Player. The Adorkable Genre Savvy Funny Chick.]]

* [[BadGuysPlayPool Bad Guys Play Pool]]: Subverted so far, I mean she's shows such gentle behavior. How could she ever be evil?
* [[CloudCuckooLander Cloudcuckoolander]]: Played straight mostly, one of her highpoints is when she screams her lungs out when she spots a pool table in the rec room, whilst everyone thought she was being killed.
** Chapter 3.

--->'''Yuuta''': (Starts to blush after Megumi complimented him.)
--->'''Akiko''': Well I think I've found out which [[EventFlag character route]] Yuuta is going for.
* [[PluckyComicRelief Plucky Comic Relief]]: Yep, totally the token funny chick.
* [[PluckyGirl Plucky Girl]]: Due to her her optimistic and trusting nature, shown when defending Ryoka from Seijun who accused her of being in league with Monokuma.
* [[TheMatchmaker The Matchmaker]]: She exhibits this trait during the early and later parts of chapter 2, poor Yuuta.

[[caption-width-right:350:Kuno Okura. SHSL Espionage. Quick! Cover Your Butts Everyone.]]

* [[BigDamnHeroes Big Damn Hero]]: Kuno, when he saved both Yevan and Tetsu from Monokuma's [[CallingYourAttacks Arrows of Orion]], at the ''same'' time, ''while a mini gun was just '''about''' to fire''.
* [[CombatMedic Combat Medic]]: Due to the kind of work he does as a spy he has quite the knowledge on how to treat certain types of injuries.
* [[HormoneAddledTeenager Hormone Addled Teenager]]: Love knows no bounds, not even gender~! Courtesy of Kuno, cover your butts everyone.
* [[HumbleHero Humble Hero]]:
** Chapter 3.
--->'''Kuno''': All in a days work, Yuuta.
* [[IKissYourHand I Kiss Your Hand]]: This guy holds nothing back, I assume he must have kissed every hand in the whole gymnasium, which amounts to 16 people. [[PlayedForLaughs It does get a funny reaction out of Yuuta and Kenta]].
* [[TeenSuperspy Teen Super Spy]]: Which he is though, and a [[TheAce damn good one]] too.
* [[TheConscience The Conscience]]: Acts mostly as a moral compass to the group, even Monokuma calls him out for it.
** Chapter 6.
--->'''Monokuma''': Aww, you're no fun! Why couldn't you be the first victim? Ugh, voice of reason characters are so annoying.
* [[TheProfiler The Profiler]]: He was accurately able to deduce that Monokuma had a trick card up his sleeve, in the form of a [[OverKill minigun]].

[[caption-width-right:350:Fujiwara Taiki. SHSL Memorizer. The Memorizer Who Got Memory-Wiped.]]

* CannotSpitItOut: Fujiwara suffers greatly from this trope during the first class trial where he didn't want to admit who killed Hibiki in order to protect her innocence as a human being.
* HeroicBSOD: Fujiwara when he found out that his precious talent was easily manipulated and therefore useless.
* PhotographicMemory: His talent. Is also pretty [[{{Irony}} ironic]] that the memorizer lost his memory thanks to [[LaserGuidedAmnesia laser-guided amnesia]], [[JerkAss too bad Tsubasa just can't cut him some slack]].
* SmartPeopleWearGlasses: Played Straight, I mean like.. C'mon man. His title as SHSL Memorizer, he's bound to be smart if he can memorize everything.

[[caption-width-right:350:Kenta Shintaka. SHSL Martial Artist. The Social Linking Bruce Lee Clone.]]

* [[AccidentalMurder Accidental Murder]]: The fact that he killed Hibiki is a classic ''wrong place, wrong time, wrong action'' scenario.
* [[BruceLeeClone Bruce Lee Clone]]: It's funny, cause Kenta also wears something yellow as well and makes a signature Bruce Lee pose.
* [[CruelAndUnusualDeath Cruel And Unusual Death]]: His body was beaten to a bloody pulp of muscles, flesh, teeth and hair. If that isn't unnecessarily cruel then I don't know what is.
* [[IdiotHair Idiot Hair]]: His is even pointier and larger than the Makoto Naegi's Ahoge.
* [[MusclesAreMeaningful Muscles Are Meaningful]]: Have you seen that guy, he's [[TheGiant Huge]]! His muscles at least..
* [[NoKillLikeOverkill No Kill Like Overkill]]: How does Kenta go out? He was beaten to a horrible, putrid pulp of flesh while he simultaneosly suffered from a [[HeroicBSOD Heroic BSOD]] due to the fact he accidentally destroyed the Hibiki dummy.
* [[NotGoodWithPeople Not Good With People]]: Type I, He even phrased it in the exact same way the trope is described.
* [[SleevesAreForWimps Sleeves Are For Wimps]]: Kenta definitely affirms this trope, especially since he wears ''two'' sleeveless pairs of clothing at once.
* [[SympatheticMurderer Sympathetic Murderer]]: Can't get more sympathetic than being the murderer because you tried to catch a falling box in order to save Hibiki from a miserable headache, inadvertently driving her murder weapon up her throat.

* [[TheFool The Fool]]: Hopefully his friendly and laid back attitude gives him [[KarmicProtection divine protection]] against death.
** Apparently [[WordOfGod Word Of God]] indirectly confirmed the fact that Kenta did ''not'' have [[KarmicProtection divine protection]] since he died and was revealed to be the culprit of the first class trial.

[[caption-width-right:350:Hibiki Yukata. SHSL Hair Dresser. Oh God! The Obvious Is Multiplying.]]

--->'''Hibiki''': Kill.. Like a.. Murder?

[[caption-width-right:350:Tsubasa Yukata. SHSL Finger Painter. Obnoxious Jerkass Of The First Class.]]

* [[CharacterTic Character Tic]]: Similar to Hibiki, Tsubasa also places his hand underneath his chin when he's deeply in thought or distressed, perhaps it's a family thing.
* [[JerkAss Jerkass]]: If you took the time to read through most of this page, than you must have realized that this guy can be quite the wanker, especially when he wants to be one.
* [[SmugSnake Smug Snake]]: Not to mention he's jerk, but also the fact that he has this Better-than-thou attitude that constantly grinds the gears of other characters.
* [[BreakTheHaughty Break The Haughty]]: Cue the first victim's death and he starts losing his oppressive temperament.

[[caption-width-right:350:Kotone Oshiro. SHSL Make-Up Artist. Enticing Men Since Her Birth.]]

* [[MakeUpIsEvil Make-Up Is Evil]]: Subverted so far, in fact Kotone hasn't been something other than just.. Impartial.

[[caption-width-right:350:Kimiko Sanazawa. SHSL Hollywood Star. A Genuinely Nice Person, Wow That Was Hard To Find.]]

* [[ButNotTooForeign But Not Too Foreign]]: Half Japanese, half American, yeah.. No? Let me just check this trope off my list.
* [[NiceGuy Nice Girl]]: Easily the friendliest person in the main cast, which is surprising considering her talent, one would expect she'd be more haughty and arrogant.
* [[YouCanTalk You Can Talk]]: Kimiko's response to Monokuma [[BreakingTheFourthWall Breaking a certain wall]].

[[caption-width-right:350:Tetsu Mastada. SHSL Blacksmith. White Knighting Action Film Extra.]]

** Chapter 3.
--->'''Tetsu''': I don't care what it is. It better starts talking, or I'll pummel it to pieces!
* [[KnightInShiningArmor Knight In Shining Armor]]: To Kimiko most of the time, but it's more akin to white-knighting really.
* [[ScarsAreForever Scars Are Forever]]: Have you seen those massive burn scars on him, those won't be going away anytime soon and the other various scars on his body.
* [[SleevesAreForWimps Sleeves Are For Wimps]]: Even Yuuta states that Tetsu could basically roll as an extra in a action movie.

[[caption-width-right:350:Makoto Shirogane. SHSL Sukeban. Takes No Rubbish Whatsoever Be Warned Simple Men.]]

* [[ActionGirl Action Girl]]: If leading an ''all-girls gang'' wasn't enough of a clue, then her threats to Seijun make it pretty clear that she takes little rubbish.
* [[BrutalHonesty Brutal Honesty]]: Her name already gave off a clue to this, her dialogue.. Confirms it.
* [[HonorAmongThieves Honor Among Thieves]]: Makoto literally preaches this when Monokuma explains that if they fail to point out the correct culprit they will die, while the culprit ''graduates''.

* [[RatedMForManly Rated M For Manly]]: This woman takes little to no rubbish, be warned ignorant men.

* [[ScarsAreForever Scars Are Forever]]: Most notably the one on her eye and chest area.
* [[SirSwearsALot Ma'am Swears A Lot]]: See the trope below for an example.
* [[TomBoy Tomboy]]: See title, if not accurate enough, see her rows with Seijun.
** Chapter 3.
--->'''Seijun''': With all due respect, you treat us like psychopathic criminals with an unsatisfied drive for blood lust. We are a group of extraordinary teenagers, however. I don't see any of us committing such a heinous crime, save for a few. (looks at Makoto accusingly)
--->'''Makoto''': Hey! I saw that asshole. You better keep those eyes to yourself, or else ''I'll rip 'em out of their sockets!''

* [[TemptingFate Tempting Fate]]: Well, Akio you wanted the more excitement in your life? Here have this knife and kill your classmates. [[BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor Be careful with what you wish for]].
* [[NothingExcitingEverHappensHere Nothing Exciting Ever Happens Here]]: This loathing of the mundane attitude he displays also extends to people, and [[LawsAndFormulas by the further law of extension]], [[TheEveryman Yuuta]].
* [[OneNoteCook One Note Cook]]: Can only make himself some cereal. Wow.. That's [[ThisLoserIsYou quite pathetic]], no offense.

* [[ColourCodedForYourConvenience Color Coded For Your Convenience]]: She is dressed in white and black like a chessboard, donning gloves that even have king and queen pieces stitched on them. If she didn't state later during chapter 2 that she ''wasn't'' obsessed with chess, I would worry for her mental health.
* [[TheSmartGuy The Smart Girl]]: The girl plays chess after all.
* [[NervesOfSteel Nerves Of Steel]]: Just like Kyouko Kirigiri of ''VisualNovel/DanganronpaTriggerHappyHavoc'', she will hardly ever lose her calm personality even under intense pressure. Even during class trials.
* [[SmartPeoplePlayChess Smart People Play Chess]]: She often brings little trivia into the conversation none knows about except her. Heck, even Monokuma praises her for it.
** In chapter 3.
--->'''Ryoka''': You have no goal. Not yet anyway. There's no need to make a move if you don't know who your target is.

* [[TheChessmaster The Chessmaster]]: Do I really have to say more, this woman ''loves'' chess!
