* DifficultButAwesome: Her spear fighting requires precise setups to make the most out of due to the timing needed and the nature of her attacks (rather than a single attack, she attacks multiple times for small amounts each hit) -- if you can manage to catch the enemy in a broken Risk and/or time her attacks just right, she can rack up thousands of hit points worth of damage on them in seconds.

A Virtuadoll like μ, she's one of the co-creators of Mobius. She's cheerful and casual in contrast to μ's beauty and perfectionism. However, μ's increasing control of Mobius has caused her power to fade, and as such takes on a small, fairy-like appearance and seeks to stop her and return to the real world. She is able to help the members of the Go-Home Club awaken to the power of their Catharsis Effects.
----

* FinalBoss: [[spoiler:Of the Musician route.]]
* GratuitousEnglish: "Are you Ready? Go Liiiive!" She also uses "YOU" in English (written in all caps) to refer to other people.
* {{Leitmotif}}: "Veritas".
* SleepModeSize: Throughout the game, she is tiny and has a SuperDeformed appearance as a result of μ's increasing power. In the epilogue, her true appearance can be seen.
** In ''Overdose'', she is able to return to normal size though the context surrounding this is currently unknown.

A third-year student at Kishimai High and the initial president of the Go-Home Club, though he steps down after Kensuke joins the club. He seems lethargic, but is very philosophical and has a strong desire to return to the real world. It's implied that he's been in Mobius for a very long time. His Catharsis Effect awakens when his anger towards Mobius comes to the surface when Kotono is captured by Digiheads. His birthday is on January 22nd.
----
* TheAlcoholic: In WIRE messages, he laments that it's hard to get alcohol because he's in high school again. However, that doesn't stop him from ''bringing a six-pack to school'' in episode 7 of the anime.
* {{BFG}}: His Catharsis Effect weapon is a very large revolver with a grenade launcher.
* BoomHeadshot: More or less what his Overdose is. He pins the enemy down with his foot while they're on the ground and aims his gun at their head before he proceeds to blow their brains out.
* ChainedByFashion: His Catharsis Effect takes the form of a pair of broken handcuffs.
* CrashIntoHello: Introduces himself to the protagonist by headbutting them.
* DualBoss: With Izuru on the Musician route. [[spoiler:Is fought solo in the final fight, as the last member before Aria.]]
* FiveStagesOfGrief: [[spoiler:Stage 4 over Ichika's death. He eventually gets to Stage 5.]]
* HeroicBSOD: [[spoiler:After Thorn commits suicide.]]
* HeManWomanHater: Subverted. Since the trauma incident after [[spoiler:Ichika's death]], he becomes awkward around women. However, he gets over it with the protagonist's help if his Character Episode is completed. In ''Overdose'', he seems to have no problem around the female protagonist.
* MrExposition: Serves as this in the anime, having awakened to his Catharsis Effect before anyone else.
* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: [[spoiler:Believes he was responsible for Ichika's death, and 13 years later still feels awful about it.]]
* OlderThanTheyLook: [[spoiler:He is ''30'', not 18.]]
* SevenDeadlySins: Sloth. Dislikes making decisions and prefers having others do work for him.
* TakingYouWithMe: In the anime, [[spoiler: as Mobius is slowly dissolving around them, he decides to stop Thorn's control of μ by grabbing Thorn and shooting the ground out beneath them so they fell into oblivion. Subverted in that Aria managed to save them at the last minute.]]
* TraumaButton: Every time Shogo sees people do a similar suicide falling on top of a building like [[spoiler:Ichika,]] he will panic and loses his composure.
* WhereAreTheyNowEpilogue: [[spoiler: The anime shows him having moved on from Ichika's death and is leaving his room for the first time in ten years, even struggling to walk as he hasn't used his legs in so long.]]

----
* AbusiveParents: Is implied [[spoiler:to be this.]] In brief flashbacks, she is shown in a ratty apartment complex, about to slap someone. Given the circumstances that led to her entering Mobius, it's [[spoiler:fair to assume that she would hit Takkun in her worst moments.]] [[AllThereInTheManual The guidebook]] for ''Overdose'' confirms that [[spoiler:she was very neglectful towards Takkun, but regrets it deeply.]]
* AdaptationalVillainy: In the game, she was already part of the good guys. In the anime, she's actually working ''with'' Mirei as a brainwashing agent for the Musicians, [[SubvertedTrope until]] she eventually [[HeelFaceTurn turns on them]] thanks to Ritsu.
* BewareTheNiceOnes: While she's normally one of the sweetest members of the Go-Home Club, Mirei manages to invoke her wrath more than once. She has some... choice words for her after learning about her plot involving Ryosuke:
-->'''Kotono:''' Fugly! Turkey chin! Deep-sea fish face, bow-legged, flat-footed, boob-implanted, nose-jobbed, saggy butt, cyborg bitch!
* BrainwashedAndCrazy: In the first episode of the anime, she was captured by Kensuke and then turned into a Digihead. In Episode 5, she's revealed to be working under Mirei, roping in men and brainwashing them. However, she subconsciously begins to remember that Mobius is not the real world and, by the end of Episode 6, breaks free from her brainwashing and develops a Catharsis Effect.
* DoesNotLikeMen: In the anime, Kotono is slightly condescending towards the men she is seducing, and is fairly violent towards Ritsu near the end of Episode 5. She is even about to slap him until the action reminds her that [[spoiler:she abused her son simply because he was male.]] When you remember that [[spoiler:her ex-boyfriend impregnated her and then ran out on her when he found out on her]], though, her reason for hating males in general is understandable.
* DualBoss: With Eiji in the Musician route. [[spoiler:In the final fight, she's paired up with Kotaro/Eiji and Naruko instead.]]
* EnergyBow: Her Catharsis Effect weapon.
* HeelRealization: While under the effects of the Musicians' brainwashing and turned into a Digihead, she does slowly start to realize that there is something wrong about Mobius, especially if it means she can see Aria. This trope comes into effect when she is about to slap Ritsu when he is forced to be the final judge in the competition between her and Mirei. Before she can hit him, however, she remembers she [[spoiler:has a son in the real world that she ''abused'', simply because he was the same gender as the person who impregnated her and then left her alone to raise him.]] This helps her realize her flaws and wants to return to reality, allowing her to unlock her Catharsis Effect.
* MoodWhiplash: [[spoiler:Kotono was surprised to have a kid after a single encounter, but she was delighted to start a family with Ryosuke. Her smile only faded after learning that their relationship was just a fling to him. Furthermore, Kotono found herself in the same predicament as her mother.]]
* MissingMom: [[spoiler:Is this to Takkun. She went to Mobius two years prior to the game's events, so he was just ''two'' when she left.]]
* OlderThanTheyLook: [[spoiler:Is 23, not 18.]]
* SlutShaming: [[spoiler:Kotono, who grew up without a father, used to judge her loose mother for running a hostess bar. However, during the aftermath of her pregnancy, Kotono comes to appreciate her supportive mother.]]
* TeenPregnancy: [[spoiler:Gave birth to a child just after finishing high school; she was pregnant when she graduated.]]
* WhereAreTheyNowEpilogue: [[spoiler:The anime shows her reuniting with Tak-kun and her mother in an attempt to restore her family.]]

Kensuke is a first-year Kishimai High student, but he's better known to most as Kagi-P, one of the Ostinato musicians. However, his defeat at the hands of the Go-Home Club leads him to question himself and ultimately join them. He's a sarcastic and carefree person, but there's gloominess behind his sarcasm. His birthday is on February 27th.
----
* {{BFS}}: His Catharsis Effect weapon is a big two-handed sword.
* DefeatMeansFriendship[=/=]HeelFaceTurn: He starts out as a member of the Ostinato Musicians, but joins the Going-Home Club after being defeated in his boss battle.
* DesperatelyLookingForAPurposeInLife: His main reason for joining the Go-Home Club and major part of his Character Episodes.
* DualBoss: With Kotaro (or Eiji) in the Musician route. [[spoiler:In the final fight, he's paired up with Izuru instead.]]
* {{Foil}}:
** To Lucid; whereas Kensuke left the Musicians in order to find his own purpose in life, Lucid ''joined'' them after Thorn played on their doubts to return to reality.
** To Naruko; the two of them both have a lot of talent in writing (Kensuke in music and poetry, Naruko in fiction), but Kensuke has a hard time believing the glowing praise he receives whereas Naruko gets a lot of negativity but does her best to focus on what little positivity she receives.
* GrowingUpSucks: [[spoiler:Is afraid of growing up because he doesn't want to be a boring adult.]]
* HiddenDepths: [[spoiler:He has a knack for poetry.]]
* {{Leitmotif}}: "Peter Pan Syndrome". [[spoiler:That title, incidentally, is also the name of his Deep Trauma.]]
* OlderThanTheyLook: [[spoiler:Is 19, not 16.]]
* StarterVillain: The first of the Ostinato Musicians to be fought, and acknowledged by the other Musicians as being the weakest. Averted in the anime, where he stays out of direct combat until Episode 6 (after which he joins the Go-Home Club off-screen).
* TrailersAlwaysSpoil: His identity as Kagi-P is made obvious in pre-release material; both are listed with the same voice actor, and Kagi-P is absent from a group picture of the Ostinato Musicians. The English website even ''spells it out in his bio.'' At this point, it's a LateArrivalSpoiler.

----
* BadassAdorable
* BigEater: Loves food, especially sweets.[[spoiler:.. in Mobius, anyway.]]
* BlueIsHeroic: For the anime promotional materials, the color she is usually associated with is a light blue.
* CoolMask: Gains this when she awakens her Catharsis Effect.
* CrushBlush: If you imply that you want a RelationshipUpgrade with her near the end of her character episodes, she becomes a blushing mess because of said implication.
* TheCutie: Not only this, but the reason why the Go-Home Club thinks that she's the top candidate for Sweet-P's tea party invite was because she fits in with her 'Dreamy Cute' aesthetic.
* DualBoss: With Ayana on the Musician route. [[spoiler:In the final fight, Suzuna joins them.]]
* DropTheHammer: Her Catharsis Effect weapon looks like a croquet hammer.
* FlowerMotifs: The flowers that appear along side her Catharsis Effect are african daisies, lilium rubellum, and thistle. The african daisies represents energy, innocence, constant love, and healthy person. The lilium rubellum represents growing curiosity, purity, and heart's appearance. And finally, thistle represents independence, rigidness, and don't touch. These describe her character quite well. She also underwent as 'Sunflower' for Sweet-P's tea party to go along with her ThemeNaming requirement.
* GenkiGirl: Most of the time.
* GirlsLoveChocolate: If her TrademarkFavoriteFood is any indication.
* GuysSmashGirlsShoot: Averted with the male protagonist and Shogo.
* HeterosexualLifePartners: With Suzuna in the games. This is due to the fact that they were the only girls in the Go-Home Club who were in the same grade. Mifue is also this with Naruko in the anime.
* IllGirl: [[spoiler:In reality, is in the hospital with critically low blood sugar.]]
* IrrationalHatred: Really, ''really'' hates fat people. She sucks it up to get into Sweet-P's inner circle, and eventually gets over it with the protagonist's help.
* MissingMom: Most of her character episodes revolve around her trying to find her mother after she suddenly disappeared. [[spoiler:By the time she finds her, she's become an EmptyShell.]]
** The anime even shows the disappearance. One night, Mifue and her mother have a conversation over dinner about how Mifue is lucky that she can eat and not get fat. Later, μ visits Mifue at her home and asks if she is happy. The next day, when Mifue gets home from school she finds that her mother has been replaced with a completely different person (both appearance- and personality-wise).
* OlderThanTheyLook: [[spoiler:Only by a year, but still. She's 17, not 16.]]
* OnlySaneWoman: She has her moments here and there, but it mostly applies to her in Mirei's dungeon.

* ShesGotLegs: According to her WIRE profile.
* TomboyWithAGirlyStreak: Her school uniform is very casual compared to Ayana's and Suzuna's. Prior to the game, she was on the volleyball team and her DLC casual outfit in ''Overdose'' is a trendy tracksuit. She also enjoys sweets very much, in the game's original Vita ending, she's seen wearing a pink dress. She likes to wear jewelry with her necklace and ring evident in her official art, and finally she enjoys flowers, especially sunflowers.
* TomboyAndGirlyGirl: Goes both ways with Mifue. The tomboy to Suzuna's girly girl and the girly girl to Naruko's tomboy.
* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Chocolate cornets, as evidenced by her WIRE icon.
* UndercoverAsLovers: She and the protagonist pretend to be boyfriend and girlfriend in order for her to take him with her to Sweet-P's tea party after the first dungeon in the game. If you're playing as the female protagonist, this is done in a more implicit way; the protagonist stands close to her, leading to this exchange:
-->'''Mifue:''' H-hey! President! Why are you standing so close?
-->'''Iris:''' Oh! You don't need to say anything. Let me go ask Sweet-P if this is okay!
-->'''Mifue:''' Oh... Thank you...??? ''(to the protagonist)'' You better explain yourself after this!
* WeightWoe: [[spoiler:Played for drama. It's all but stated that she's anorexic, and the fact that she's in the hospital with low blood sugar only adds to this. Her Catharsis Effect covering her mouth could be seen as a reflection of how she eats very little in real life.]]
* WhereAreTheyNowEpilogue: [[spoiler:Is shown in the anime to still be in the hospital due to her anorexia, but has successfully apologised to her mother.]]

Her birthday is on May 28th.
----
* AdaptationalHeroism: In the game, she sells out the Go-Home Club, before eventually joining them. In the anime, no such thing happens and forms the club with them.
* AttackDrone: Her Catharsis Effect weapon is a pair of switchblade-shaped drones. In the Vita version, they could be issued separate commands, but this was removed in ''Overdose''.
* AttentionWhore: She does a lot for attention online. Near the beginning, she posts an identifying picture of the Go-Home Club online ''just so she could get more followers.''
* BaitAndSwitch: [[spoiler:The Go-Home Club are initially led to believe that Naruko is Wicked, but this is a trap devised by the ''real'' Wicked, her friend Marie.]]

* HumiliationConga: [[spoiler:Her family being accused of being anti-Japanese led to her being shunned by her classmates. She turned to Gossiper to vent about what happened... only to find out she had been venting to one of said classmates all along, who then ''printed their conversations out and put them on the classroom blackboard'' just to humiliate her further. Then she ends up getting sucked into Mobius after trolling μ's music videos, and ''then'' she's betrayed by one of her only friends within Mobius, Marie, who uses her as bait for the Go-Home Club.]]
* IJustWantToHaveFriends: [[spoiler:The reason she's so desperate for attention is because she was shunned by all her friends and classmates in real life.]]
* IShouldWriteABookAboutThis: Her Character Episodes involve her writing a book about her experiences in Mobius, but framed with a StandardFantasySetting.
* KarmaHoudini: Despite initially selling out the Go-Home Club, it's brushed under the rug and she ends up joining them.
* OnlyFriend: Before joining the Go-Home Club, Marie.
* ShipperOnDeck: Is obviously aware that there seems to be ''something'' between Ritsu and Marie, even noting that she shows up much more often when he is around. [[spoiler:Of course, by this point, she still has no idea that Marie is Wicked.]]
* {{Troll}}: In addition to her habit of posting stuff on Gossiper against others' wishes, [[spoiler:she used to be one after the incident that caused all of her classmates to hate her.]]

A second-year student who has taken on the appearance of a little-known dead celebrity. He's a nearly emotionless loner, and shows very little care or interest in other people. He finally joins the Go-Home Club after Shonen-Doll is defeated, and awakens to his Catharsis Effect after a near-death experience causes him to truly feel emotion. His birthday is on July 8th.
* AbusiveParents: [[spoiler:His mother was very controlling of him and never let him do anything on his own. That's why he does everything by himself in Mobius... well, tries to, anyway.]]
* BackFromTheDead: [[spoiler:Is turned into a doll by Shonen-Doll and is believed to be too far gone for Aria to save him. However, after Shonen-Doll is defeated, Izuru returns to normal.]]
* CoolMask[=/=]TwoFaced: His Catharsis Effect takes the form of a mask covering the left side of his face.
* CoolSword: His Catharsis Effect weapon.
* DarkIsNotEvil: Some of the names of his attack skills are more sinister-sounding than the other party members, but he's definitely one of the good guys.
* DeadpanSnarker: He has his moments.
* DeadPersonImpersonation: [[AllThereInTheManual It's not stated in-game]], but his appearance within Mobius is that of a minor in-universe celebrity who committed suicide.
** Possibly because that was considered too dark, but the anime adaptation changes it to instead of swapping Izuru's face to hide the scars, μ instead uses her powers to constantly heal any damage done to Izuru's face to reset it back to it's "ideal" state much to Izuru's dismay.
* DualBoss: With Shogo on the Musician route. [[spoiler:In the final fight, he's paired up with Kensuke instead.]]
* EvenTheGuysWantHim: In the anime, most of the comments about him are from women, but there is one boy who writes "Please take me at once. I offer you my everything."
* GoodScarsEvilScars: In the anime, according to him, he has scars on his left side to prove he is himself in the real world. However in Mobius, his scars disappear to due μ's power.
* HollywoodPersonalityDisorders: [[spoiler:Schizoid personality disorder.]]
* HopelessWithTech: He can use his phone for WIRE, but he seems to only barely know what he's doing. All his messages are sent in hiragana in the Japanese version (in the English version, they're just very short), and he has the default blank icon because he doesn't know how to change it. [[spoiler:This could have to do with his mother's control over him; he probably didn't have access to a cell phone or computer before arriving in Mobius.]] Ayana makes use of this in her character episode when she writes letters to all the male members of the Go-Home Club; she threatens to change his phone's password if he doesn't read her letter.
* LonerTurnedFriend: Initially rejects Shogo's offers to join the Go-Home Club, but after Shonen-Doll is defeated he starts tagging along.
* LonersAreFreaks: Averted. Many people at Kishimai High consider Izuru to be mysterious and cool.
* SelfHarm: [[GoryDiscretionShot It's never seen on screen]], but he even does it in public in one of his Character Episodes. It's also heavily implied in the game that the reason his Catharsis Effect appears as a mask is because he has self-harm scars on his face in real life. The anime confirms this. In fact, the mask that forms over the left-half of his face emerges from a cut that somehow appears on his cheek.
* SlasherSmile: In the anime, he sports a very disturbing one when he realizes the wounds he receives aren't healing due to μ being in a coma. He has an opportunity to slash the left side of his face repeatedly with a glass shard until μ slowly regaining consciousness and his face return back to normal.
* SparedByAdaptation: The anime saved him from being turned into a doll by Shounen Doll before joining the Go-Home Club.
* TheStoic: Very rarely expresses emotion, to the point where ''he's convinced himself'' that he doesn't have emotions.
* WhereAreTheyNowEpilogue: [[spoiler: The anime shows him to have confronted his mother about her controlling behaviour and now he is happily strolling the city by his own power.]]

However, μ's increasing control of Mobius has caused her power to fade, and as such takes on a small, fairy-like appearance and seeks to stop her and return to the real world. She is able to help the members of the Go-Home Club awaken to the power of their Catharsis Effects.

His Catharsis Effect awakens when his anger towards Mobius comes to the surface when Kotono is captured by Digiheads. His birthday is on January 22nd.
----
* TheAlcoholic: In WIRE messages, he laments that it's hard to get alcohol because he's in high school again. However, that doesn't stop him from ''bringing a six-pack to school'' in episode 7 of the anime.
* {{BFG}}: His Catharsis Effect weapon is a very large revolver with a grenade launcher.
* BoomHeadshot: More or less what his Overdose is. He pins the enemy down with his foot while they're on the ground and aims his gun at their head before he proceeds to blow their brains out.
* ChainedByFashion: His Catharsis Effect takes the form of a pair of broken handcuffs.
* CrashIntoHello: Introduces himself to the protagonist by headbutting them.

* HeManWomanHater: Subverted. Since the trauma incident after [[spoiler:Ichika's death]], he becomes awkward around women. However, he gets over it with the protagonist's help if his Character Episode is completed. In ''Overdose'', he seems to have no problem around the female protagonist.
* MrExposition: Serves as this in the anime, having awakened to his Catharsis Effect before anyone else.
* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: [[spoiler:Believes he was responsible for Ichika's death, and 13 years later still feels awful about it.]]
* OlderThanTheyLook: [[spoiler:He is ''30'', not 18.]]

* TakingYouWithMe: In the anime, [[spoiler: as Mobius is slowly dissolving around them, he decides to stop Thorn's control of μ by grabbing Thorn and shooting the ground out beneath them so they fell into oblivion. Subverted in that Aria managed to save them at the last minute.]]
* TraumaButton: Every time Shogo sees people do a similar suicide falling on top of a building like [[spoiler:Ichika,]] he will panic and loses his composure.

A third-year student at Kishimai High who's very popular for her kindness and maturity. She's seen as an older sister in the Go-Home Club. Her Catharsis Effect awakens very shortly after being rescued from a trap by the protagonist and Shogo.
----
* AbusiveParents: Is implied [[spoiler:to be this.]] In brief flashbacks, she is shown in a ratty apartment complex, about to slap someone. Given the circumstances that led to her entering Mobius, it's [[spoiler:fair to assume that she would hit Takkun in her worst moments.]] [[AllThereInTheManual The guidebook]] for ''Overdose'' confirms that [[spoiler:she was very neglectful towards Takkun, but regrets it deeply.]]
* AdaptationalVillainy: In the game, she was already part of the good guys. In the anime, she's actually working ''with'' Mirei as a brainwashing agent for the Musicians, [[SubvertedTrope until]] she eventually [[HeelFaceTurn turns on them]] thanks to Ritsu.
* BewareTheNiceOnes: While she's normally one of the sweetest members of the Go-Home Club, Mirei manages to invoke her wrath more than once. She has some... choice words for her after learning about her plot involving Ryosuke:
-->'''Kotono:''' Fugly! Turkey chin! Deep-sea fish face, bow-legged, flat-footed, boob-implanted, nose-jobbed, saggy butt, cyborg bitch!
* BrainwashedAndCrazy: In the first episode of the anime, she was captured by Kensuke and then turned into a Digihead. In Episode 5, she's revealed to be working under Mirei, roping in men and brainwashing them. However, she subconsciously begins to remember that Mobius is not the real world and, by the end of Episode 6, breaks free from her brainwashing and develops a Catharsis Effect.
* DoesNotLikeMen: In the anime, Kotono is slightly condescending towards the men she is seducing, and is fairly violent towards Ritsu near the end of Episode 5. She is even about to slap him until the action reminds her that [[spoiler:she abused her son simply because he was male.]] When you remember that [[spoiler:her ex-boyfriend impregnated her and then ran out on her when he found out on her]], though, her reason for hating males in general is understandable.
* DualBoss: With Eiji in the Musician route. [[spoiler:In the final fight, she's paired up with Kotaro/Eiji and Naruko instead.]]
* EnergyBow: Her Catharsis Effect weapon.
* HeelRealization: While under the effects of the Musicians' brainwashing and turned into a Digihead, she does slowly start to realize that there is something wrong about Mobius, especially if it means she can see Aria. This trope comes into effect when she is about to slap Ritsu when he is forced to be the final judge in the competition between her and Mirei. Before she can hit him, however, she remembers she [[spoiler:has a son in the real world that she ''abused'', simply because he was the same gender as the person who impregnated her and then left her alone to raise him.]] This helps her realize her flaws and wants to return to reality, allowing her to unlock her Catharsis Effect.

Her smile only faded after learning that their relationship was just a fling to him. Furthermore, Kotono found herself in the same predicament as her mother.]]

* HeroicSacrifice: [[spoiler:If you haven't completed Eiji's Character Episode and exposed him, Kotaro will sacrifice himself to save Shadow Knife from falling to his death.]]
* KilledOffForReal: [[spoiler:His fate in the UpdatedRerelease ''Overdose'' unless you complete Eiji's Character Episode, he'll pull off a HeroicSacrifice to save Shadow Knife from his death, though he ends up dying instead. Averted, however, if you complete Eiji's Character Episode.]]
* PowerFist: His Catharsis Effect weapon is a pair of gauntlets.
* RapidFireFisticuffs: He has a regular skill that does this, and his Overdose skill is a souped-up version of it with perfect accuracy.
* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: Delivers one to ''Naruko'', of all people, after he realizes that [[spoiler:her Gossiper followers aren't real people.]]

->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/ShoutaAoi
->'''Theme song by:''' [=40mP=]
Kensuke is a first-year Kishimai High student, but he's better known to most as Kagi-P, one of the Ostinato musicians. However, his defeat at the hands of the Go-Home Club leads him to question himself and ultimately join them. He's a sarcastic and carefree person, but there's gloominess behind his sarcasm. His birthday is on February 27th.
----
* {{BFS}}: His Catharsis Effect weapon is a big two-handed sword.
* DefeatMeansFriendship[=/=]HeelFaceTurn: He starts out as a member of the Ostinato Musicians, but joins the Going-Home Club after being defeated in his boss battle.
* DesperatelyLookingForAPurposeInLife: His main reason for joining the Go-Home Club and major part of his Character Episodes.
* DualBoss: With Kotaro (or Eiji) in the Musician route. [[spoiler:In the final fight, he's paired up with Izuru instead.]]
* {{Foil}}:
** To Lucid; whereas Kensuke left the Musicians in order to find his own purpose in life, Lucid ''joined'' them after Thorn played on their doubts to return to reality.
** To Naruko; the two of them both have a lot of talent in writing (Kensuke in music and poetry, Naruko in fiction), but Kensuke has a hard time believing the glowing praise he receives whereas Naruko gets a lot of negativity but does her best to focus on what little positivity she receives.
* GrowingUpSucks: [[spoiler:Is afraid of growing up because he doesn't want to be a boring adult.]]
* HiddenDepths: [[spoiler:He has a knack for poetry.]]
* {{Leitmotif}}: "Peter Pan Syndrome". [[spoiler:That title, incidentally, is also the name of his Deep Trauma.]]
* OlderThanTheyLook: [[spoiler:Is 19, not 16.]]
* StarterVillain: The first of the Ostinato Musicians to be fought, and acknowledged by the other Musicians as being the weakest. Averted in the anime, where he stays out of direct combat until Episode 6 (after which he joins the Go-Home Club off-screen).
* TrailersAlwaysSpoil: His identity as Kagi-P is made obvious in pre-release material; both are listed with the same voice actor, and Kagi-P is absent from a group picture of the Ostinato Musicians. The English website even ''spells it out in his bio.'' At this point, it's a LateArrivalSpoiler.
* WhereAreTheyNowEpilogue: [[spoiler: Is shown in the anime to be studying hard in school.]]
!!Mifue Shinohara
[[quoteright:240:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/mifue_shinohara_catharsis.jpg]]
->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/RieTakahashi
A cheerful and bold first-year student whose graceful figure belies a big appetite. However, she tends to have a rather short temper. Her Catharsis Effect awakens when she and the protagonist get ambushed by Digiheads at Papiko mall. Her birthday is on April 20th.
----
* BadassAdorable
* BigEater: Loves food, especially sweets.[[spoiler:.. in Mobius, anyway.]]
* BlueIsHeroic: For the anime promotional materials, the color she is usually associated with is a light blue.
* CoolMask: Gains this when she awakens her Catharsis Effect.
* CrushBlush: If you imply that you want a RelationshipUpgrade with her near the end of her character episodes, she becomes a blushing mess because of said implication.
* TheCutie: Not only this, but the reason why the Go-Home Club thinks that she's the top candidate for Sweet-P's tea party invite was because she fits in with her 'Dreamy Cute' aesthetic.
* DualBoss: With Ayana on the Musician route. [[spoiler:In the final fight, Suzuna joins them.]]
* DropTheHammer: Her Catharsis Effect weapon looks like a croquet hammer.
* FlowerMotifs: The flowers that appear along side her Catharsis Effect are african daisies, lilium rubellum, and thistle. The african daisies represents energy, innocence, constant love, and healthy person. The lilium rubellum represents growing curiosity, purity, and heart's appearance. And finally, thistle represents independence, rigidness, and don't touch. These describe her character quite well. She also underwent as 'Sunflower' for Sweet-P's tea party to go along with her ThemeNaming requirement.
* GenkiGirl: Most of the time.
* GirlsLoveChocolate: If her TrademarkFavoriteFood is any indication.
* GuysSmashGirlsShoot: Averted with the male protagonist and Shogo.
* HeterosexualLifePartners: With Suzuna in the games. This is due to the fact that they were the only girls in the Go-Home Club who were in the same grade. Mifue is also this with Naruko in the anime.
* IllGirl: [[spoiler:In reality, is in the hospital with critically low blood sugar.]]
* IrrationalHatred: Really, ''really'' hates fat people. She sucks it up to get into Sweet-P's inner circle, and eventually gets over it with the protagonist's help.
* MissingMom: Most of her character episodes revolve around her trying to find her mother after she suddenly disappeared. [[spoiler:By the time she finds her, she's become an EmptyShell.]]
** The anime even shows the disappearance. One night, Mifue and her mother have a conversation over dinner about how Mifue is lucky that she can eat and not get fat. Later, μ visits Mifue at her home and asks if she is happy. The next day, when Mifue gets home from school she finds that her mother has been replaced with a completely different person (both appearance- and personality-wise).
* OlderThanTheyLook: [[spoiler:Only by a year, but still. She's 17, not 16.]]
* OnlySaneWoman: She has her moments here and there, but it mostly applies to her in Mirei's dungeon.
* ProperTightsWithASkirt: What she wears with her school uniform. Interestingly enough, she was originally going to wear plain, white stockings according to the guide book.
* ShesGotLegs: According to her WIRE profile.
* TomboyWithAGirlyStreak: Her school uniform is very casual compared to Ayana's and Suzuna's. Prior to the game, she was on the volleyball team and her DLC casual outfit in ''Overdose'' is a trendy tracksuit. She also enjoys sweets very much, in the game's original Vita ending, she's seen wearing a pink dress. She likes to wear jewelry with her necklace and ring evident in her official art, and finally she enjoys flowers, especially sunflowers.
* TomboyAndGirlyGirl: Goes both ways with Mifue. The tomboy to Suzuna's girly girl and the girly girl to Naruko's tomboy.
* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Chocolate cornets, as evidenced by her WIRE icon.
* UndercoverAsLovers: She and the protagonist pretend to be boyfriend and girlfriend in order for her to take him with her to Sweet-P's tea party after the first dungeon in the game. If you're playing as the female protagonist, this is done in a more implicit way; the protagonist stands close to her, leading to this exchange:
-->'''Mifue:''' H-hey! President! Why are you standing so close?
-->'''Iris:''' Oh! You don't need to say anything. Let me go ask Sweet-P if this is okay!
-->'''Mifue:''' Oh... Thank you...??? ''(to the protagonist)'' You better explain yourself after this!
* WeightWoe: [[spoiler:Played for drama. It's all but stated that she's anorexic, and the fact that she's in the hospital with low blood sugar only adds to this. Her Catharsis Effect covering her mouth could be seen as a reflection of how she eats very little in real life.]]
* WhereAreTheyNowEpilogue: [[spoiler:Is shown in the anime to still be in the hospital due to her anorexia, but has successfully apologised to her mother.]]
!!Suzuna Kagura
[[quoteright:270:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/suzuna_kagura_catharsis.jpg]]

A quiet first-year student who's good friends with Mifue. She's timid, but cares greatly for her friends. When she sets her mind to a task she always finds a way to see it to the end. Her birthday is on June 23rd.
----
* BladeOnAStick: Her Catharsis Effect weapon.
* DualBoss: With Naruko on the Musician route. [[spoiler:In the final fight, she's with Mifue and Ayana instead.]]
* EatingLunchAlone: Always eats her lunch in the ''bathroom''.
* LaughingMad: [[spoiler:Lets out a pretty creepy laugh when fighting Lucid if you've maxed out her character episodes.]]
* TheMedic: Her healing is the strongest in the Go-Home Club.
* NiceHat: Her Catharsis Effect takes on the form of a witch's hat. It being big enough to cover her face is reflective of her being a ShrinkingViolet.
* NotSoDifferent: Delivers a speech like this to Shonen-Doll.
* NotSoImaginaryFriend: [[spoiler:All of her classmates in Mobius are soulless husks of her middle school classmates.]]
* ShipTease: With Akira Komori (Shonen Doll) in the anime adaption.
* ShrinkingViolet: Around most people.
* SuddenlyShouting: She used to be in glee club, so she can ''really'' project her voice if need be.
* UsedToBeMoreSocial: [[spoiler:She was very social in middle school, but people started teasing her relentlessly upon arriving in high school, leading her to become as reserved as she is now.]]
* WhereAreTheyNowEpilogue: [[spoiler: The anime shows her cheerfully reading in the park before being joined by what is heavily implied to be Akira Komori (Shonen Doll).]]
!!Naruko Morita
[[quoteright:280:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/naruko_morita_catharsis.jpg]]
->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/AriOzawa
An insatiably curious second-year student who lives for rumors, gossip, and attention. She gained some fame when she started investigating the Go-Home Club, but later joins their cause after learning the truth of Mobius from Aria; her Catharsis Effect awakens after she finds herself trapped and hopeless in Shonen-Doll's library. Her birthday is on May 28th.
----
* AdaptationalHeroism: In the game, she sells out the Go-Home Club, before eventually joining them. In the anime, no such thing happens and forms the club with them.
* AttackDrone: Her Catharsis Effect weapon is a pair of switchblade-shaped drones. In the Vita version, they could be issued separate commands, but this was removed in ''Overdose''.
* AttentionWhore: She does a lot for attention online. Near the beginning, she posts an identifying picture of the Go-Home Club online ''just so she could get more followers.''
* BaitAndSwitch: [[spoiler:The Go-Home Club are initially led to believe that Naruko is Wicked, but this is a trap devised by the ''real'' Wicked, her friend Marie.]]
* BeamSpam: In some of her attacks.
* DamselInDistress: [[spoiler:Gets kidnapped by Wicked.]]
* DeflectorShields: In the anime, her AttackDrones can generate these to protect herself and her teammates.
* DualBoss: With Suzuna on the Musician route. [[spoiler:In the final fight, she's with Kotono and Kotaro/Eiji instead.]]
* {{Foil}}: To Kensuke; the two of them both have a lot of talent in writing (Kensuke in music and poetry, Naruko in fiction), but Kensuke has a hard time believing the glowing praise he receives whereas Naruko gets a lot of negativity but does her best to focus on what little positivity she receives.
* HumiliationConga: [[spoiler:Her family being accused of being anti-Japanese led to her being shunned by her classmates. She turned to Gossiper to vent about what happened... only to find out she had been venting to one of said classmates all along, who then ''printed their conversations out and put them on the classroom blackboard'' just to humiliate her further. Then she ends up getting sucked into Mobius after trolling μ's music videos, and ''then'' she's betrayed by one of her only friends within Mobius, Marie, who uses her as bait for the Go-Home Club.]]
* IJustWantToHaveFriends: [[spoiler:The reason she's so desperate for attention is because she was shunned by all her friends and classmates in real life.]]
* IShouldWriteABookAboutThis: Her Character Episodes involve her writing a book about her experiences in Mobius, but framed with a StandardFantasySetting.
* KarmaHoudini: Despite initially selling out the Go-Home Club, it's brushed under the rug and she ends up joining them.
* OnlyFriend: Before joining the Go-Home Club, Marie.
* ShipperOnDeck: Is obviously aware that there seems to be ''something'' between Ritsu and Marie, even noting that she shows up much more often when he is around. [[spoiler:Of course, by this point, she still has no idea that Marie is Wicked.]]
* {{Troll}}: In addition to her habit of posting stuff on Gossiper against others' wishes, [[spoiler:she used to be one after the incident that caused all of her classmates to hate her.]]
* WhereAreTheyNowEpilogue: [[spoiler: Shown to have quit SNS and is now working on getting started as a writer.]]
!!Izuru Minezawa
[[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/izuru_minezawa_catharsis.jpg]]
->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/YuichiroUmehara (Game, Episode 1-8), Creator/TomoakiMaeno (Episode 9-12)
A second-year student who has taken on the appearance of a little-known dead celebrity. He's a nearly emotionless loner, and shows very little care or interest in other people. He finally joins the Go-Home Club after Shonen-Doll is defeated, and awakens to his Catharsis Effect after a near-death experience causes him to truly feel emotion. His birthday is on July 8th.
* AbusiveParents: [[spoiler:His mother was very controlling of him and never let him do anything on his own. That's why he does everything by himself in Mobius... well, tries to, anyway.]]
* BackFromTheDead: [[spoiler:Is turned into a doll by Shonen-Doll and is believed to be too far gone for Aria to save him. However, after Shonen-Doll is defeated, Izuru returns to normal.]]
* CoolMask[=/=]TwoFaced: His Catharsis Effect takes the form of a mask covering the left side of his face.
* CoolSword: His Catharsis Effect weapon.
* DarkIsNotEvil: Some of the names of his attack skills are more sinister-sounding than the other party members, but he's definitely one of the good guys.
* DeadpanSnarker: He has his moments.
* DeadPersonImpersonation: [[AllThereInTheManual It's not stated in-game]], but his appearance within Mobius is that of a minor in-universe celebrity who committed suicide.
** Possibly because that was considered too dark, but the anime adaptation changes it to instead of swapping Izuru's face to hide the scars, μ instead uses her powers to constantly heal any damage done to Izuru's face to reset it back to it's "ideal" state much to Izuru's dismay.
* DualBoss: With Shogo on the Musician route. [[spoiler:In the final fight, he's paired up with Kensuke instead.]]
* EvenTheGuysWantHim: In the anime, most of the comments about him are from women, but there is one boy who writes "Please take me at once. I offer you my everything."
* GoodScarsEvilScars: In the anime, according to him, he has scars on his left side to prove he is himself in the real world. However in Mobius, his scars disappear to due μ's power.
* HollywoodPersonalityDisorders: [[spoiler:Schizoid personality disorder.]]
* HopelessWithTech: He can use his phone for WIRE, but he seems to only barely know what he's doing. All his messages are sent in hiragana in the Japanese version (in the English version, they're just very short), and he has the default blank icon because he doesn't know how to change it. [[spoiler:This could have to do with his mother's control over him; he probably didn't have access to a cell phone or computer before arriving in Mobius.]] Ayana makes use of this in her character episode when she writes letters to all the male members of the Go-Home Club; she threatens to change his phone's password if he doesn't read her letter.
* LonerTurnedFriend: Initially rejects Shogo's offers to join the Go-Home Club, but after Shonen-Doll is defeated he starts tagging along.
* LonersAreFreaks: Averted. Many people at Kishimai High consider Izuru to be mysterious and cool.
* SelfHarm: [[GoryDiscretionShot It's never seen on screen]], but he even does it in public in one of his Character Episodes. It's also heavily implied in the game that the reason his Catharsis Effect appears as a mask is because he has self-harm scars on his face in real life. The anime confirms this. In fact, the mask that forms over the left-half of his face emerges from a cut that somehow appears on his cheek.
* SlasherSmile: In the anime, he sports a very disturbing one when he realizes the wounds he receives aren't healing due to μ being in a coma. He has an opportunity to slash the left side of his face repeatedly with a glass shard until μ slowly regaining consciousness and his face return back to normal.
* SparedByAdaptation: The anime saved him from being turned into a doll by Shounen Doll before joining the Go-Home Club.
* TheStoic: Very rarely expresses emotion, to the point where ''he's convinced himself'' that he doesn't have emotions.
* WhereAreTheyNowEpilogue: [[spoiler: The anime shows him to have confronted his mother about her controlling behaviour and now he is happily strolling the city by his own power.]]
