* CuteClumsyGirl: Serufu is a sweet girl, but is also inhumanly spacey and accident-prone. Yet nothing bad that happens to her ever seems to bring down her spirits.

* EccentricArtist: She's a really skilled illustrator as shown by the various sketches and drawings she does through the show. Though with how wild her imagination gets, it makes things like planning the treehouse a bit impractical with how often she gets carried away. The others have to rein her in a bit so they have a plausible visualization of the project.

* SugarAndIcePersonality: A lot of her abrasiveness is usually reserved for Serufu, who constantly annoys Miku due to her klutziness. Otherwise, she's pretty nice around other people, which shows especially in her friendship with Jobko.

[[folder:"Jobko"]]
Full name "Juliet Queen Elizabeth VIII", she's an insanely wealthy American student who skipped through school at the age of ''12''. She arrives to [=GataGirl=], alone and bitter in her new circumstances before slowly taking an interest in the DIY Club where she adopts the nickname "Jobko".
----
* ButNowIMustGo: [[spoiler:In the finale, Jobko returns to America, but promises she'll return to the club when she can.]]
* BrattyHalfPint: Jobko shows up at her new school for the first time, bitter from being isolated from her peers in numerous ways from her age to her nationality, and further depressed from accidentally selecting the wrong school. (darn that complicated Kanji!) This is all expressed by aggressively pushing back against those around her, especially the DIY club who are content to work outside the prestigious and high-tech expectations of the school.
* ChildProdigy: Jobko is only 12, but has intellect and vocabulary on par with people decades older.
* CommonalityConnection: Miku and Jobko find common ground by chatting about advanced engineering concepts like AI. Serufu remarks at them "speaking the same language".
* {{Catchphrase}}: "Good Job" along with a thumbs-up gesture.
* GradeSkipper: Jobko is only 12 years old but is smart enough to attend high school.
* GratuitousEnglish: Excessively from Jobko. Her every sentence is half Japanese and half English. {{Justified|trope}} by her being an American exchange student.
* {{Hackette}}: Jobko breezed through Purin's house and computer security as part of moving in to Purin's house.
* TokenMiniMoe: She's the age of an elementary schooler but attends an advanced high school. This makes the youngest member of the DIY Club by extent.
* TokenMinority: A White American girl attending a school mostly populated by Japanese students. The reality of that makes her feel isolated when she first arrives.

[[folder:Rei Yasaku]]
* BookDumb: She's {{Implied}} to be this in episode 9, where she's completely floored by the other member's high midterm test scores, especially [[DitzyGenius Serefu]] and Takumi's, and dodges the topic of her own placement.
* ClosetGeek: Yasaku is revealed to secretly enjoy a shojo manga called "Sunflower Girls", much to her embarrassment. It doesn't stop her from fangirling about with Takumi though.
* HeroWithBadPublicity: Yasaku spends most of her time alone working in the DIY club house, not interacting much with her classmates. Most of the girls in her class only hear all the loud workshop noises coming from the club house and assume she's some kind of psycho with a mallet.
* TheLeader: Of the DIY Club, and the one who teaches and provides guidance on building to everyone.
* {{Tomboy}}: Yasaku has notably sharp features compared to the other girls, as well as short hair and more androgynous fashion choices. It makes her stand out a lot in the all-girls school she attends, no doubt symbolizing her isolated nature.

* AffectionateNickname: Serufu calls Miku "Purin" (Japanese for "pudding") which [[EmbarrassingNickname annoys]] Miku more than endears her. However, she puts up with it from Jobko.
* ForegoneConclusion: It's clear from the opening and the promotions that Miku, despite her protests, will eventually join the DIY club.
* PunnyName: Suride Miku isn't, but her nickname, "Purin" from Serufu is. "s'ree-dee p'rin" - '''3D-Printer'''.
* {{Tsundere}}: Miku acts angry and gruff towards Serufu ever since they didn't get into the same school (never mind they live right next to each other and chat through their windows all the time), but clearly misses her friend.

* AnimalLover: Judging by her variety of pets, Serufu really likes having animals around. She has a dog, a cat, and a little pig who all eat, bathe and sleep with her.
* AreYouPonderingWhatImPondering: Serufu's tendency to let her imagination drift as it will when people are talking to her means that she often answers questions with a totally bizarre non-sequitur.
* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: Serufu is rather prone to spacing off and letting her imagination drift, dreaming of such bizarre things like sleeping on a cloud or living in an amusement park. It's apparent that she's not really paying attention what's happening around her much of the time.
* CuteClumsyGirl: Serufu is a sweet girl, but is also inhumanly spacey and accident-prone. Yet nothing bad that happens to her ever seems to bring down her spirits.
* DitzyGenius: Despite being an airheaded klutz, Serufu is actually rather intelligent. It's stated by Purin that the only reason she didn't get into [=YuVoc=] with her is because [[BrilliantButLazy she stated daydreaming in the middle of the entrance exam.]] After midterms, she ended up coming up third in her whole grade above even ChildProdigy Jobko (who got a perfect score in every subject but Japanese, as she has trouble writing in that language). And she pulled this off despite ''falling asleep in the middle of them.''
* FashionableAsymmetry: Serufu always wears her school uniform half tucked in (right side) and half hanging out (left side). It's a sign of how laid back she is. The slightly unkempt look is reflective of her spacey outlook on life.
* TheKlutz: Serufu constantly has band-aids on her face due to injuring herself, such as riding her bike into a streetlight. The School Nurse comments on her perfect attendance.
* TheNicknamer: Serufu has nicknames for most of her friends. Like calling Suride "Purin" and calling Takumi "Takumin" shortly after they meet. She also gives exchange student Juliet, "Jobko"
* PunnyName: Yua Serufu = Yoo-ah-se-re-foo = '''Yourself'''.
* StevenUlyssesPerhero: 'Yua Serufu' is phonetically identical to 'yourself' in Japanese. It's even pointed out at the end of the first episode.
