History Characters / Morenatsu

* {{Megane}}

* {{Megane}}

* NotSoAboveItAll: As serious and brutal as he presents himself, he is NotSoDifferent from Shun in that he will wag his tail when in a good mood.

* BattleButler: Funnily enough he behaves like this when around Shun, constantly looking out for his safety. The "battle" portion should be obvious given his profession, though a more specific example is when he wants to beat the tar out of Hiroyuki for saying something foolish, but politely asks Shun for permission first the way a servant would do for his master.

* OlderThanTheyLook: Shun is 16 years old about to start his first year of high school, but from his appearance and demeanor, you would think that Shun was closer to 13 or younger.

** From another point of view, he's also seen as the [[CreatorsPet Creator's Pet.]]

* InformedSpecies: Despite his stance on the matter, he and his father look more like wolves than they do huskies. The grey fur and golden eyes do not help.

* {{Kemono}}

* {{Kemono}}

* {{Kemono}}

* FunetikAksent: The English translation has him speak with a slight twang, shortening some words or phrases like "d'ya" instead of "do you" and leaving the "g" of out gerunds.

* {{Kemono}}

* ShamefulStrip: Was apparently subjected to this at one point by Tatsuki during one of his drunk episodes.

* SateliteCharacter: A unique case for this game - because his role in the plot only concerns Kouya, he's the only character in the entire story who makes a physical (visual) appearance yet Hiroyuki cannot meet or interact with in any way.

* AllDrummersAreAnimals: Barring the obvious, out of every member of the band he's the one with the most wild personality & loose personality.

* VillainousCheekbones: One component of his notably more ghoulish appearance is that he has these, making him look malnourished. [[SubvertedTrope He's not evil though, just creepy]].

* LawOfConservationOfDetail: Hiroyuki even [[LampshadeHanging lampshades]] how improbable it would be for Shin's entire estate to be managed by one person, and yet Tsukishiro is apparently the only staff present to do so. One interaction with Shin even has him explicitly say that Amaki is the only servant he has, so he must be pretty damn good at his job all things considered.

[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/2525096-ten_kodori_4520.png]]

* HiddenHeartOfGold: He ''does'' care about Kouya and his dreams, even if he doesn't approve of them. [[spoiler:He even attends all of Kouya's concerts in secret to support his son.]]

''Kouya's father. In the old days, he worked at a major company, what you'd call an elite. However, around the time Kouya was one year old, there was a resturcturing. Because of his own mistakes and hardships, he wanted Kouya to go to a good school, find a job at a good company, and live that kind of life.''

* AllDrummersAreAnimals

* RichBitch: By and large an [[AvertedTrope aversion]]. Shin is indeed loaded and enjoys many luxuries as a result, but he doesn't flaunt it much and prefers to be treated like a normal person most of the time. Most of his perception as this trope comes more from him sometimes being an aloof InsufferableGenius and people linking this to his privileged lifestyle, but as you learn in his route he dislikes being viewed this way. For example, he will actually be offended when Hiroyuki is shocked to find out his favorite candy to buy from the local store is one of the cheapest, despite him having access to gourmet cooking at home and being a skilled maker of sweets himself. This is also true in regards being part of the group; he could easily handle all expenses and arrangements for everything they want to do, but doesn't, and when he ''does'' do this he prefers not to draw too much attention to it.

* ChallengeGamer

* OlderThanTheyLook: Shun is 16 years old about to start his first year of high school, but from his appearance, you would think that Shun was closer to 13 or younger.

* TeensAreShort: May partially be a consequence of the game's art style, but even within the game itself it's noted that Shun is rather small for a 16-year-old wolf, and the character who plays this the most straight. He's the shortest out of the main cast and even shorter than Soutarou, who's a year younger than him. Even more jarring is that his cousins Ten and Gaku aren't much older than him and yet they dwarf him. Hiroyuki at first theorizes he could be malnourished, but upon seeing the rest of Shun's immediate family he realizes it's hereditary.
* TenderTears

* {{Keet}}

* LawOfConservationOfDetail: Hiroyuki even [[LampshadeHanging lampshades]] how improbable it would be for Shin's entire estate to be managed by one person, and yet Tsukishiro is apparently the only staff present to do so.

* OlderThanTheyLook

** A popular alternative spelling Soutaro can press a linguist's BerserkButton, because it spells out one of the long vowels while completely ignoring the other. It could be that the Western Morenatsu fandom often spells out long vowels, but also -taro (without acknowledgment of the long vowel) is a well-recognized name ending among Western {{Otaku}}. Compare [[Franchise/{{Godzilla}} Toho]] and VideoGame/{{Touhou}}.

* {{Adorkable}}

* {{Adorkable}}

* YourCheatingHeart: It's unknown if Tappei's wife knows about his sexual escapades, but his profile out-right states he still gets it on with other guys even in marriage.

* ShipTease: Like a main character, he has this with all his friends. But it's more intense with [[OfficialCouple Torahiko]].

%%* BadassGay

* StraightGay. [[spoiler: Though unusual for this game is how he's actually bothered by his homosexuality. It's somewhat downplayed relative to his other issues, though.]]

* LawOfConservationOfDetail: Hiroyuki even [[LampshadeHanging lampshades]] how improbable it would be for Shun's entire estate to be managed by one person, and yet Tsukishiro is apparently the only staff present to do so.

* ShipperOnDeck: Maybe. At one point he teases Hiroyuki about whether he and Shun have kissed yet, with the implication being that he approves. While he frames it as a joke, the conversation you have with him just before makes it ambigious whether he's serious or not.

* CryCute: He [[RunningAwayToCry runs off crying]] after Kounosuke pulls a prank on him to get on the water [[spoiler:Also when he finally confesses his feelings to you, but less so in the "Rape" ending.]]

* CryCute: He [[RunningAwayToCry runs off crying]] after Kounosuke pulls a prank on him to get on the water. [[spoiler:Less so in the "Rape" ending.]]

* TraumaButton: When Kyouji asks Kouya if he got a job because he is having money troubles, Kouya snaps at him to shut up and leaves, surprising even himself.
** When Keisuke states that Musikus will always be together even if they don't win the competition, unaware of Kouya's promise he made to his parents that he would leave the band and come home if they don't, Kouya leaves and breaks down crying. Fortunately, Hiroyuki comes and assures him everything will be alright.

* AdaptationSpeciesChange: In ''Homecoming'', he's now a snow fox rather than a human.

* Age: 17 (19 in ''Homecoming'')

* Age: 19 (21 in ''Homecoming'')

* Age: 18 (20 in ''Homecoming'')

* Age: 16 (19 in ''Homecoming'')

* Age: 17 (19 in ''Homecoming'')

* Age: 17 (20 in ''Homecoming'')

* Age: 17 (19 in ''Homecoming'')

* Age: 16 (18 in ''Homecoming'')

* AdaptationalJerkass: In the ''Homecoming'' build of the game, Shun, while still friendly and optimistic, is noticeably more competitive than he was in the old version. He gets into many arguments with Torahiko, makes fun of Kounosuke behind his back, and even talks back to his family about their traditions.

* AgeLift: He's originally 16 in the original visual novel, but is aged up to 18 in ''Homecoming'' likely to avoid any controversy over having Hiroyuki being able to have sex with him despite being 2 years older than him.

* Age: 15 (18 in ''Homecoming'')

* DisappearedDad: In ''Homecoming'', Soutarou's dad is revealed to have died in a construction accident, which is why he and his mother moved to Minasato in the first place.

* CatsAreSuperior: At least that's the impression he gives off.

* BattleButler: Never shown but Implied multiple times.
** "How did he appear behind me so silently"

* TheBabyOfTheBunch: If you don't count Soutarou. Even then, he generally acts more outwardly mature than Soutarou and the game often goes out of its way to make him appear younger than he is, so players who don't know the cast's canon ages would be forgiven for thinking he's the youngest. It doesn't help that he's also shorter than Soutarou despite being a year older.

* BigBrotherInstinct: His methods and concerns may be up for question, but he's rarely seen doing something that isn't part of his plans to protect Shun.
