History Characters / RagingLoop

The younger and much brash brother of Yasunaga. He acts like a typical yankee from the cities, but he's actually much nicer than his appearance suggests even though he has a tendency to act before thinking. He quickly antagonizes Haruaki, due to his status as an outsider.

* EvenEvilHasStandards: Despite being a self-proclaimed mass-murderer, she's completely frightened by Haruaki's suggestion to sever the wolves' limbs after being outed as one in ''Wit'', so much that she instead proposes to kill herself after Chikamochi's hanging.

* NiceJobFixingItVillain: During ''Darkness'', Snapping and murdering Yasunaga in broad daylight while admitting to being a wolf makes Yudai Hashimoto realize that there must be a leader among the wolves that was able to keep her under control and target Takumi at night instead, and none of the four remaining suspects (Tae, Kiyonosuke, Rikako, and Mamiya) fit that profile. This leads to Haruaki being accused of lying about being the snake, and voted off unanimously.

* NiceJobFixingItVillain: During ''Darkness'', Snapping and murdering Yasunaga in broad daylight while admitting to being a wolf makes Yudai Hasimoto realize that there must be a leader among the wolves that was able to keep her under control and target Takumi at night instead, and none of the four remaining suspects (Tae, Kiyonosuke, Rikako, and Mamiya) fit that profile. This leads to Haruaki being accused of lying about being the snake, and voted off unanimously.

* NiceJobFixingItVillain: Snapping and murdering Yasunaga in broad daylight while admitting to being a wolf makes Yudai Hasimoto realize that there must be a leader among the wolves that was able to keep her under control and target Takumi at night instead, and none of the four remaining suspects (Tae, Kiyonosuke, Rikako, and Mamiya) fit that profile. This leads to Haruaki being accused of lying about being the snake, and voted off unanimously.

* EmpathicHealer: The Uematsu's ability to "take in" from others. She saves Haruaki from wolfsbane poisoning by drinking his blood, and then purges it from her own body through bloodletting. She used SexMagic in the past to save the residents of Yasumizu from a cholera outbreak, Kaori and Yoshitsuge from childbirth complications, Chicamochi of his worrying personality, Haru of her "wolf" possession, and Chiemi after she was bitten by the rabid dogs during the incident which led to her disownment. She also takes in Chiemi's corruption in ''Yomi'' after she kills the Old Man Who Cried Wolf in self-defense, but this was just an act and the Miguruma's operating the Feast played along by injecting her with rabid dog blood.

* AffablyEvil: Even though she's a considerably darker person than she presents as, a lot of her seeming virtues aren't entirely fake. She took care of Meiko with no ulterior motive and tries her best to keep her alive throughout the game, and genuinely likes several of the villagers (like Chiemi and Haruaki) despite needing them all dead.

* TheWoobie: [[strike:InUniverse]] PlayedForLaughs during the Revelation mode hint corners, where she repeatedly attempts to present herself as this. Given that she's stuck in a BokeAndTsukomiRoutine with The Sheep in the Hint Corner, the latter repeatedly keeps shooting down her attempts.

* LoveAtFirstSight: Fell in love with Haruaki mere seconds after meeting him in ''Wit''.

* {{Squick}}: During her final confrontation in ''Myth'' she reveals that she slept with every single other character of the village in the past. It's not clear if she means actual sex or something lighter sufficed for her purposes, but one way or the other she did ''something'' sexual to all of them, including the old wolf guy, other seniors, adults as well as minors or characters who used to be minors when that happened - Chiemi is stated outright to have been 5 years old when that happened, and from what is mentioned in an extra scenario her time with Kiyonosuke was when he was around 12 and she was 7.

* HasAType: Apparently, it's "good girls who are a little bad". He actually finds Chiemi's dubious sanity to be kind of attractive, and he likes Haru more after he encourages her to be "evil" and she takes it to heart.

* TheUnfavourite: Thinks of himself as this compared to his brother Yoshitsugu. ''Darkness'' implies this is indeed the case, as his death doesn't cause his mother to immediately snap like Yoshitsugu's does.

* TheUnfavourite: Ironically, he also thinks he's this, just like Yasunaga does. It's implied in ''Darkness'' that he actually is the favourite, as Kaori snaps immediately upon his death, rather than belated and as a gambit like with Yasunaga.

* ItWasAGift: Haru cherishes the flashlight Haruaki gives her early in ''Darkness''. When it screws them over and Haruaki considers simply not giving it her in the next loop, Mujina warns him that Haru only opened her heart to him because of this gift.

* IHaveManyNames: After being told Haruaki is a famous author, Chiemi looks through his many works to find his real name only to despair upon realising all of them have different pen-names.

* BadPowersGoodPeople: The Tsuchigomo feeds on the corruption of the people that the Uematsu "take in" from, but the Uematsu's in the past would stop the Tsuchigomo's ressurection by cleansing themselves through bloodletting so they could act as healers. The Tsuchigomo eventually responded by planting curses in the people the Uematsu took in from, which would be retreived when they died.

* ClapYourHandsIfYouBelieve: When she was younger, she started acting like God and in doing so, she actually ressurected Mujina after walking near Yasumizu during the events of the previous Feast.

* SkilledButNaive: He's a useful ally once the ball gets rolling, but his primary issue is that he's too trusting of the other villagers, as he refuses to believe at first that any of them would harm one another.

* SoleSurvivor: Become the latest survivor of the Feast in ''Yomi'', following Yasunaga's suicide.

* ZeroApprovalGambit: At the very end of the ''Yomi'' route, he puts a show and throw his sickle in order to allow Haruaki to escape with Chiemi and Meiko, the latest survivors, although it ends in failure because of the feast's rules.

* DrivenToSuicide: After letting the latest survivors in ''Yomi'' escape, the Revealation Mode shows he ultimately regrets his actions and promptly murders Tae and kills himself, allowing Haru to live.

* OutdoorsyGal: Played straight and deconstructed. Chiemi possesses a full skill set of a hunter - she knows how to handle and maintain weapons and is in fact a good shot, knows how to set traps, track and butcher game and actually has a hunting license. This does not win her any points either home or in a big city - in Yasumizu it's perfectly normal and does not stand out, and in a city [[ValuesDissonance it just makes her look weird]]. She mentions that one of her boyfriends dumped her because her knowing how to handle a gun freaked him out.

* BadLiar: She doesn't do a great job of hiding that she's the badger in ''Wit'', and in general her friends believe that they could tell if she had a role as she wouldn't do a great job of covering it. It's subverted in ''Darkness'' where she manages to stay off the radar as a wolf, though largely because she has Haruaki to guide her.

* UnreliableNarrator: As it turns out, he's hiding quite a few thoughts from the player, as Revelations mode reveals.

** Uematsu abilities seem to require sexual practices to perform them, and as Rikako implies during the Revelations Mode, the training starts ''very'' early.

* NiceGuy: Although his adherence to logic occasionally blunts his niceness, his moderate personality means Haruaki initially considers him the easiest villager alongside Chiemi to talk to. It's then subverted when he becomes a wolf and murderer, and then double subverted again as he's one of the few wolves to constantly grapple with his conscience[[note]]as revealed in Revelations mode[[/note]] to the extent that he tries to save the last handful of survivors and commits suicide out of guilt over the murders.

* HeroicSacrifice: Revelations Mode gives his death in ''Yomi'' shades of this: he actually realized he could die, but figured that even that would be useful as a warning to others not to go outside at night. His internal monologue also reveals that in general, he'd much rather die if it means his brother or mother will live instead.

* TooGoodForThisSinfulEarth: Downplayed, since he's certainly capable of being not-so-nice when pushed, but combined with his pattern of receiving the snake guardian, his earnest desire to protect the village tends to get him killed. In Revelations mode, Rikako lampshades it, noting that gentle people like him always die first in the feast.

* EvilOldFolks: She's revealed to be a wolf at the end of ''Yomi'', and gleefully accepts her role to put down the other humans -- Chiemi also experienced multiple loops where the two of them were wolves. Subverted when subsequent wolves turn out to be worse than her, making her come across as an AntiVillain or downright normal in hindsight; Revelations Mode also shows that she never enjoyed the kills.

* KillTheOnesYouLove: As Revelations Mode reveals, after she and Yasunaga agree to kill Takumi, she requests to be the one to personally do it out of love for him, despite her typically giving Yasunaga the reins otherwise.

* RightForTheWrongReasons: When she's wrongly lynched in ''Darkness'', she remarks that Yasumizu is doomed. Haruaki snarks in his monologue that she doomed herself, but as Rikako internally remarks in Revelations mode, Yamawaki's right--with this, they're on the path to unleashing the Tsuchigumo.

* ObfuscatingStupidity: Revelations Mode shows that while she ''is'' a small child, she's not quite as clueless or innocent as others see her, keeping some secrets of her own.

* ObviouslyEvil: Subverted. The narration, previous events of the story and the way his actions are presented all conspire to make him look as fishy as possible, with Haruaki being very wary of him as possibly one of evil masterminds behind the transpiring events. Revelations Mode shows that all of this is a complete RedHerring - much like the rest of Higuchi, he makes it a point to not dig too deeply into the behind the scenes plots of the Miguruma.

* BeneathTheMask: Literally and figuratively. Outwardly he appears as yet another irrational Miguruma enforcer but Revelations Mode shows a whole different side of him. [[RuleOfSymbolism Fittingly]], once he sees that Shin'nai's narrative is defeated he casts off his mask.
