* TeensAreShort: Chuuya is the shortest one in the Library, and she assumes she's the youngest because her eponym was born after all the others. However, this is subverted as there's no knowledge as to whether she's a teenager or not... [[spoiler: Then it's subverted again as Ton learns in the epilogue that she was only 16 years old.]]

* TheCaligula: He rules the members of the first trial with an iron fist... but they can't ever know what time it is. Nor can any of them know what they look like- that would go against the will of their gods, of course! Riichi is moody and horribly violent, killing off others in the trial for anything from [[FelonyMisdemeanor drawing a portrait]] to [[MakeAnExampleOfThem just existing]].
* ClocksOfControl: Riichi is an over-controlling tyrant who hides all the clocks in the entire building so that his subjects will ''have'' to rely on him for any sort of schedule.
* FlayingAlive: Due to Riichi's rather... severe beliefs, when Takamura tries to show him a portrait of himself, Riichi treats it as the highest offense and skins his face clean off.
* TheFundamentalist: Riichi treats his beliefs in the experimenters being gods as the whole truth and nothing but, and will severely punish anyone who says or acts differently.
* MakeAnExampleOfThem: No one takes him or his fervent beliefs seriously... until he tortures and [[PublicExecution kills Hori in front of everyone else]] on day four.

* FriendToAllChildren: Well... one child. He often writes about spending time with Niimi and hating her suffering.
* SecretDiary: His whole existence is a set of two diaries Ton finds, but they provide him both immense relief and loneliness, given the real life Shiga Naoya and Satomi Ton were close.
* ThatWasTheLastEntry: Day eight of Shiga's journal describes some... [[FlayingAlive horrifying events]], and the last words of it are Shiga worrying that Riichi's going to kill him any day now, and how he hates being alive. The rest of the book is blank.

The first person Ton meets in the Library, only seconds after he wakes up, Kitamura was a memorable figure in his life. A kind woman who, from her first moments awake, made sure that no one else got themselves hurt, she was a well liked figure who even Touson was incredibly fond of.
----
* DropDeadGorgeous: When everyone crowds around her dead body, naked from broken glass tearing her gown to shreds, Doppo briefly cops a feel before Touson [[DopeSlap slaps his hand away]].
* EstablishingCharacterMoment: The first one we see in the entire story. Ton is about to rip his IV out of his arm when Kitamura stops him, safely removing it herself and bandaging his arm before she tells him she doesn't really know his name. She then stays behind until everyone has woken up, showing her kind, community-serving nature.
* FingertipDrugAnalysis: Kitamura reports later that the fluid in their IV bags was a saline solution, admitting she knows this because she tasted it. Lampshaded by Haruo, who reacts in confusion and shock that she would taste something without knowing what it was first.
--> '''Haruo''': Hold on- you tasted it? Without knowing what was in it? Couldn’t you have… read the bag label? It could have been poisonous or something else entirely.
--->-- ''Chapter 3''
* HangingAround: She is found dead in her room, hanging from a noose.
* HimeCut: Her hair had straight across bangs, medium length sidelocks, and was longer down her back. She was also one of the more well behaved people in the Library, most likely because she didn't [[SurprisinglySuddenDeath last long enough to lose her mind]].
* TheMedic: Before Mokichi, there was Kitamura. A much more qualified medic because she [[AmnesiacResonance actually knew what she was doing]], Kitamura helped everyone with their IVs and treated Hei's broken hand.
* NeverSuicide: While for a good part of the story, her death is seen as a cut and dry suicide, she was in fact [[spoiler: poisoned, as revealed by Mokichi's bloodtest. [[TheMole Haruo]] put her in a noose so the others wouldn't know they were being poisoned yet]].
* SurprisinglySuddenDeath: Up until her death, everyone's focus was on finding a way to escape. There was no hint of the story having death in it until the end of chapter 5, Touson, Haruo and Ton finding her in a noose.
* WeHardlyKnewYe: Gone far too soon, it was impossible to know what she was really like or what she would have wanted. When Touson suggests they use her deceased body as a test dummy for possible exits, Kyoshi lashes out at the disrespect. Touson insists it's what she would have wanted, to which Kiyo exclaims that there's no way they could have known that, as they knew her for half a day.
