History VerbalTic / VisualNovels

* Averted in ''[[VisualNovel/FateHollowAtaraxia Fate/hollow ataraxia]]'' until the cast gets drunk and then adds animal tics to their speech such as nya! (cat) or wan (dog) based on what their favorite animal is.

* 'VisualNovel/{{Clannad}}'':

* Nagisa Furukawa in ''VisualNovel/{{Clannad}}'' is also fond of ending her sentences with desu~.

** Kotomi Ichinose has a habit of ending her sentences with "no".

* [[DanganRonpa 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.

** Hm, in the Japanese version, Miles Edgeworth would apepar to start his sentences with a thoughtful little noise.[[note]]What he says in Japanese is "Mu", which roughly equates to "hm" in English.[[/note]]

** "[[FullNameBasis Ms Franziska von Karma]] has no verbal tic, and if you think she does, then you're [[YouFool more foolish than the fool's fool]] [[DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment who foolishly speaks the foolish words]] [[ShapedLikeItself of a fool]]."

---> Sigma: "Oh that? It's a book meow-ht cats.

---> Alice: "..."
---> Phi: "..."

---> Alice: "A...meow-ht?"

* Spark Brushel in ''VisualNovel/AceAttorney'' is a reporter who likes to ends most phrases with "End Quote", ''End Quote''.

--> '''Gumshoe''': Huh? Hey! You can't just go saying "pal" like that! That's MY [[CharmPoint endearing character trait!]]

** ShrinkingViolet Ron [=DeLite=]'s speech tends to trail off off into nothing, which also affects other characters in the area.

** Det. Gumshoe ends most of his sentences with "Pal" when he's addressing someone, Pal.

* Several characters in ''VisualNovel/HigurashiNoNakuKoroNi'':
** Rena Ryuuguu has a habit of repeating the final words of sentences, most famously ''kana, kana'' (I wonder, I wonder).
*** More to the point, "kana kana" is supposed to be the sound higurashi cicada make.
** 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.
*** She 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).
** The second season character Hanyuu's trademark is a cry of ''au au au!'' when she is upset.

* In ''VisualNovel/UminekoNoNakuKoroNi'', Maria has her trademark "Uu~." [[spoiler:This actually has some significance to the plot. One day she forgot the words to a song, so she replaced the words with an "uu-" sound. It made her mother smile, so from that point on Maria believed that saying "uu-" was a spell for happiness]].
** Also something of a deconstruction; if her mother is to be believed, the weird speech pattern is one of the reasons why she's bullied in school and has no friends. It's certainly the reason [[AbusiveParents said mother smacks her]] because she finds it irritating.

** ShrinkingViolet Ron [=DeLite=]'s speech tends to trail off [[color:gray:off into no]][[color:silver:thing]], which also affects other characters in the area.

** Satoko Hojo has generally flaky grammar, mixing up her first person pronouns and ending her sentences in ''wa'' even when it would be considered improper. However, in 1983, when ''VisualNovel/HigurashiNoNakuKoroNi'' is set, there would be no problem with her using this particle.

* Spark Brushel in ''VisualNovel/ApolloJusticeAceAttorney'' is a reporter who likes to ends most phrases with "End Quote", ''End Quote''.

* [[DanganRonpa Hagakure]] ends a few of his sentences with "-be". This has been translated by the thread as "'right" (which is as close to the meaning 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.

* Nagisa Furukawa in ''VisualNovel/{{Clannad}}'' is also fond of ending her sentences with desk~.

** Rika Furude likes to use ''nipaa~'' (an onomatopoeia for 'smiling') and ''mii'' (a nonsense word). Technically, not onomatopoeia but phenomime.

* In ''VisualNovel/UminekoNoNakuKoroNi'', Maria has her trademark "U~." [[spoiler:This actually has some significance to the plot. According to her, it's a spell for happiness]].
** Also something of a deconstruction; if her mother is to be believed, the weird speech pattern is the reason she's bullied in school and has no friends. It's certainly the reason [[AbusiveParents said mother smacks her]].

** [[SdrawkcabName Dlanor]] A. Knox always puts emphasis on the last word of every SENTENCE. Just like that one there and this ONE. Even if it's just one WORD.

** Nagisa Furukawa in ''VisualNovel/{{Clannad}}'' is also fond of ending her sentences with desk~.
