History VerbalTic / VisualNovels

** Sss, sss, sss! Myriam Scuttlebutt has a [[SssssnakeTalk snakelike]] hissing laugh! It matches her [[Franchise/MetalGear cardboard box]] perfectly!

** No mention of Dr. Crab either ? Son of a gun!

---> Sigma: Oh that? It's a book meow-ht cats.
---> Alice: A...meow-ht, cats?
---> Sigma: Oh, sorry. It's a sorta...tic I've had since I was a kid. Can't help talking like a cat when talking meow-ht cats.
---> Alice: ...

---> Luna: Umm...
---> Zero Jr: Yeeeeees?
---> Luna: Why did you start making..rabbit..puns?

** Satoko Hojo has a habit of speaking with [[{{Keigo}} overly formal grammar]] and ending her sentences with "wa", giving the impression she's trying very very hard to sound like a typical {{Ojou}}. Her actual reason is [[spoiler:her family was hated by the villagers so she tries to sound ultra-polite so that others won't hate her]]. Satoko also uses "nii-nii" to refer to her older brother, which sounds childish, but is also the name of a different kind of cicada.

* ''VisualNovel/{{Kanon}}'' is full of such characters: Nayuki ("nyuu"), Makoto ("auu"), and Ayu ("uguu"), to the point of being overdone. It adds tremendously to the [[{{Moe}} moe factor]] of the girls though, especially in Ayu's case -- it's just ''so'' darn cute, which it is also helped by the marvelous performance of Creator/YuiHorie, Ayu's voice actress.
** Though not a heroine, Sayuri Kurata from ''Kanon'' tends to say "ho-e?" in addition to her more usual "ahaha." Whether or not this is influenced by Sakura from ''Manga/CardcaptorSakura'' is unclear; although, due to Sakura's GenkiGirl personality, her ho-es are usually much more verbal.

* Rinrin/Chouhi from ''VisualNovel/KoihimeMusou''ends her sentences with "nano-da".

*** Miu sounds out a whimpering "Heeeeee!" whenever startled, especially whenever someone shouts at her. She will also say "duh-doy" whenever pointing out something that is obvious.

** Rika Furude likes to say "Nipaa~" whenever she smiles (as it's a Japanese UnsoundEffect for smiling) and often starts her sentences with "Mii" (a kitten meowing, translated in the English release of the manga as "mew"). She also has a habit of ending her sentences "nano desu" even when it's grammatically incorrect to do so, which is translated as "Sir" in the English translation of (she addresses everyone as "Sir", including her friends, no matter their gender).

** Satoko Hojo has a habit of speaking with over-formal grammar and ending her sentences with ''wa'', giving the impression she's trying very very hard to sound like TheOjou.

Satoko also uses "nii nii" to refer to her older brother, which sounds childish, but is also the name of a different kind of cicada.
** Rika Furude likes to use ''nipaa~'' (an onomatopoeia for 'smiling') and ''mii'' (a kitten meowing, translated in the English release of the manga as "mew"). Technically, not onomatopoeia but phenomime. Rika also has a habit of saying "nano desu" after her sentences, which is translated as "Sir" in the official manga translation (she uses sir for everyone, including her friends, no matter their gender).
** Hanyuu's trademark is a cry of ''au au au!'' when she is upset.

** [[VisualNovel/Danganronpa2GoodbyeDespair]]:

*** Yasuhiro Hagakure ends a few of his sentences with "-be". This has been translated by the thread as "'right" (which is as close to the connotations of "be" in a Tohoku dialect that one can get with a single English word). Monobear/Monokuma's "upupupu" could possibly also count as one, to a lesser extent.
*** In the official English localization, Hagakure's tic is translated as "for serious".
** [[VisualNovel/Danganronpa2GoodbyeDespair Chiaki Nanami]] tends to end her sentences with "...I think". The one time she expresses certainty about something the other characters note how out-of-character it is.

*** Himiko Yumeno, who has, "Nyeh", though thankfully she starts using it less when her CharacterDevelopment sets in.

*** Kaede oftens says "Jeez!" when especially annoyed or exasperated.
