Added DiffLines:

* TheMindIsAPlaythingOfTheBody: She admits that being turned into a cat has messed up her mind as she's getting more used to it. At one point, when her cat form gets possessed, Riki is genuinely worried that her mind has given in and she became a cat for good.


Added DiffLines:

* KnowNothingKnowItAll: In Sasami's route, Riki can ask either Kud or Haruka for romantic advice to help Sasami with Kengo. If the player chooses Haruka, she'll pawn the question off on Kanata, who'll insist that the girl has to be upfront about her feelings, and that if she's too shy to confess, then it wouldn't have worked out in the first place. Haruka then points out that Kanata has never had a boyfriend before and thus has no clue what she's talking about.


Added DiffLines:

* AmbiguouslyAbsentParent: [[spoiler:In her past life as Aya, her mom is not around, and even she admits that she doesn't know if it was because she died, or left her dad because she couldn't handle his line of work.]]


Added DiffLines:

* IJustWantToBeNormal: She spent the majority of her life with her father [[spoiler:traveling to third-world countries and providing medical care to the locals]]. She only lived in Japan for a short time as a kid, then moved back to Japan over a decade later when her dad retired, [[spoiler:only to be crushed in a construction accident. She was able to enter the world created by Kyousuke and the others because she had such a strong desire for a normal life]].

* PantyShot: She tends to provide a lot of these due to how clumsy she can be.



* BrokenAce: She's good at basically everything and her status as TheAce even gets {{lampshaded}} by Kudryavka. [[BookSmart She's in the top 10 in the national exams]], is a quick learner bordering on InstantExpert (she learned to make great cookies for Riki in 1 evening), has [[BoobsOfSteel killer measurements]], [[CoolBigSis always helpful]] [[NiceGirl and nice]], [[ExcuseMeWhileIMultitask can multitask to ridiculous levels]] and has CharlesAtlasSuperpower. But never felt much in the way of emotion before joining the Little Busters. She just faked it.
