10	The [[FeaturelessProtagonist featureless protagonist]] of the game entering their final year of highschool with their childhood friend, Haruka.
11	----
12	* CanonName: Their official name is Nao, which will be given to them if the player decides not to choose a name.
13	* CharacterCustomization: You are given the option to choose your pronouns at the start of the game and your height shortly after. You can also choose your eye color and weight, but these options come up in different character's routes so there's a chance not all players will see them.
14	* CharacterizationMarchesOn: They were more smug in the early demos than they are in the most recent demo. The creator decided to tone down this aspect to make them more customizable.
15	* ChildhoodFriends: With Haruka.
16	* DudeNotFunny: They call Haruka out after she jokes about Minami School burning down. She'll apologize later if you tell her to, but will do so in a [[BackhandedApology backhanded manner]].
17	* HeightAngst: If you make the protagonist short, they will be displeased with how small they are compared to Haruka and everyone else (expect for [[TinyTyrannicalGirl Kana]], who would be around the same height as them).
18	* HugeSchoolgirl: They can be this if you choose to be female and make them tall.
19	* InvisibleParents: The protagonist does have parents, but they're conveniently always at work and are never seen, not even at night.
20	* LateForSchool: Typical of an anime parody, the game starts with them and Haruka running late for school.
21	* LivingEmotionalCrutch: They function as one to Haruka. According to them, she's been clingy ever since they were both children. When they walks to school without Haruka, they feel worried for her, but also feel like it's good for them to have some time apart from eachother.
22	* NoBiologicalSex: This aspect, like everything else about them, is determined by the player.
23	* PurelyAestheticGender: Whatever gender you choose doesn't effect the plot besides a few minor dialogue changes. Same thing goes for height, weight, and eye color.
24	* RedOniBlueOni: The blue to Haruka's red.
25	* TinySchoolboy: They can be this if you choose to be male and make them short.

32	[[quoteright:630:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/3f4lem.png]]
33	----
34	* AmbiguouslyHuman: [[spoiler: The official wiki page lists their species as "Human/AI". So they are considered human to some degree, but ''how'' human each of them are seems to vary. Both Aiko and Aila (despite Aila not being part of the main group) have the letters '''Ai''' in their names, whereas the other girls don't. There's also the mysterious person at the end of the demo (implied to be Talia) that tells the Player to pursue Aiko if they want to learn more and that she can "help" them. If this person is to be believed, Aiko may have a deeper understanding of or connection to the program than the other girls.]]
35	* [[spoiler: ArtificialIntelligence: Their species on the official wiki is listed as "Human/AI". Whether this means the girls are literally [[HalfHumanHybrid part-human]] or [[RidiculouslyHumanRobots they're just so advanced that they're almost indistinguishable from a regular human]] isn't specified.]]
36	* CostumePorn: The uniform (the female one in particular) is ''very'' fancy and not one you'd typically see in a school. It's a vibrant shade of red, the skirt has soft-looking frills, and the buttons and necktie are a glimmering gold color. It looks more like an [[IdolSinger idol]] outfit, really.
37	* CustomUniform: Their uniforms all have unique accessories that fit their styles and make them distict from one another.
38	* ExoticEyeDesigns: Each girl has card suits in place of their pupils. When asked about the reason for this, the [[WordOfGod creator]] said they just [[RuleOfCute thought it was cute]].

49	[[caption-width-right:680:''"Open up, Player!"'']]
50
51	The [[PassionateSportsGirl sporty]] [[ChildhoodFriends childhood friend]] of the protagonist. Haruka is nervous about their last year of highschool together. Her getting yelled at by [[SadistTeacher Mr. Saito]] on the first day put her in a bad mood, and having to be in a group with three new girls only made it worse.
52	----
53	* AbusiveParents: [[spoiler: It's heavily implied that Haruka has an abusive father. If you do her route, you can get her to open up and she confirms that this is the case.]]
54	* ApatheticStudent: Haruka doesn't care much about academics and things like math or science. She says the only reason she decided to take those classes was because the protagonist is and she wanted to be with them.
55	* BackhandedApology: Haruka apologizes to Aiko, Kana, and Yumi in the group chat for how she acted...only to say [[NeverMyFault she did nothing wrong immediately afterwards]]. She does the same thing ''again'' when "apologizing" at school the next day.
56	* [[ChildhoodFriends Childhood Friend]]: Of the protagonist.
57	* ClingyJealousGirl: Highly. She will be quick to jump to the protagonists defense if she interprets something as an attack on them. The protagonist says she's been like this since they were children. However, this aspect of Haruka's character is [[{{Deconstruction}} deconstructed]], as her clinginess stems from more than just jealously. [[spoiler: She'd always run to the protagonist (her [[OnlyFriend only friend]]) for comfort when dealing with her [[AbusiveParents abusive father]] and she's afraid they'll drift apart from each other after highschool. So, while jealously is part of the reason why she acts so clingy, it mostly comes from a fear of loneliness and abandonment.]]
58	* ExoticEyeDesigns: She has the diamonds suit for pupils.
59	* JustJokingJustification: Aiko says her and Kana were at the top of their classes at Minami School before it burned down, to which Haruka replies ''"I'm gonna bet the class wasn't on fire safety, hm?"'' After the protagonist calls Haruka out for it, she says it was just a joke.
60	* LateForSchool: The game begins with the protagonist and Haruka running late for school.
61	* {{leitmotif}}: ''"[[https://janhehr.com/track/2467900/haruka-s-theme-pt-1 Haruka's Theme, Pt. 1]]"'' and ''"[[https://janhehr.com/track/2467901/haruka-s-theme-pt-2 Haruka's Theme, Pt. 2]]"''.
62	* NeverMyFault: In the two times Haruka tries to apologize to the other girls, she [[BackhandedApology quickly takes it back and says she did nothing wrong]].
63	* NewFriendEnvy: She displays a ''lot'' of jealousy when three new girls show up, believing the protagonist will abandon her.
64	* MissingMom: Haruka's father is brought up a few times, but there's no mention of her mother.
65	* MoralityPet: The protagonist acts as one to her. They're pretty much the only person she'll be nice to or cares to listen to. She does warm up to the other girls as the week progresses, though.
66	* PassionateSportsGirl: She excels at and loves track and field.
67	* RedOniBlueOni: The red to the Protagonist's blue.
68	* RhymingNames: Haruk'''a''' Maed'''a'''.
69	* TomboyishPonytail: [[DownplayedTrope Downplayed]]. She's tomboyish and likes sports, but has her ponytail tied up with a big red bow.
70	* VerbalTic: She tends to say "y'know" a lot.
71	* YourDoorWasOpen: She lets herself in the protagonists house often. Justified, as she has a spare key.

77	[[caption-width-right:680:''"Kana! That's me, hi!"'']]
78
79	A short, [[PerkyGoth perky goth]] girl with an interest in psychology. She is usually sweet, but can be a little snarky if she's messed with.
80	----
81	* AlliterativeName: '''K'''ana '''K'''oizumi.
82	* DarkAndTroubledPast: [[spoiler: Says she grew up seeing a lot of people hurt and had no way of helping them. She doesn't go into any specific details, though]].
83	* EarlyInstallmentCharacterDesignDifference: Kana has the most changes between her early design and her final design. As shown [[https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/hicbr.png here]], she used to have teal hair and a standard uniform with no accessories. Her finalized design had her hair color change from teal to platinum blonde and made her a [[PerkyGoth perky goth]] complete with fishnets, spiked bracelets, and chains.
84	* ExoticEyeDesigns: She has the clubs suit for pupils.
85	* [[spoiler: EldritchAbomination: Kana describes one of her [[SplitPersonality alters]] as a black creature with lots of teeth and eyes]].
86	* GirlishPigtails: Has them to compliment her childish nature.
87	* {{leitmotif}}: ''"[[https://janhehr.com/track/2467903/kana-s-theme-pt-1 Kana's Theme, Pt. 1]]"'' and ''"[[https://janhehr.com/track/2467905/kana-s-theme-pt-2 Kana's Theme, Pt. 2]]"''.
88	* LonelyRichKid: Kana's dad is wealthy and works with Aiko's dad. Aiko was also Kana's [[OnlyFriend only friend]] at their previous school, Minami.
89	* MediumAwareness: Implied at one point. It's easy to miss, but [[spoiler: after the protagonist faints in Mr. Saito's class and Kana wakes them up, she physically hands the player their "Options" bar at the bottom of the screen, saying they "dropped it when [they] fainted."]]
90	* NewTransferStudent: She, along with Aiko and Yumi, transfers to the protagonists school at the start of the story.
91	* NoodleIncident: During a conversation at lunch, Kana will briefly mention that she [[spoiler: was expelled from her old school before going to Minami]]. The reason for this is currently unknown.
92	* PerkyGoth: Kana is a very bright and sweet goth girl.
93	* PlayfulCatSmile: She naturally has one.
94	* [[spoiler: SplitPersonality: If her affection level for you is high enough, Kana will tell you that she was diagnosed with [[https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dissociative_identity_disorder Dissociative Identity Disorder]]. She also says people at her old school called her weird and spread rumors about her because of it. This is why Kana is passionate about psychology and wants to help others overcome their trauma.]]
95	* StockingFiller: She wears a pair of black fishnets.
96	* StraightManAndWiseGuy: Kana plays the wise guy to Aiko's straight man.
97	* SugarAndIcePersonality: Kana's character profile above describes her as "a mixed bag of sweet and salty". She was initially nice to the protagonist on the first day, but closes herself off once she thinks they see her as weird.
98	* TinyTyrannicalGirl: Kana is the shortest of the girls and can be bossy at times.
99	* TownGirls: She's the neither to Aiko's femme and Yumi's butch. Kana is a [[PerkyGoth perky goth]] girl, but she's a bit rough around the edges and not as traditionally feminine as Aiko.

105	[[caption-width-right:680:''"You seem confused. I am a girl, I just prefer the boys uniform."'']]
106
107	The [[SilentSnarker silent snarker]] of the group. Yumi is a hard-to-read individual that enjoys teasing people. She has no interest in science and prefers sports, namely archery.
108	----
109	* DarkAndTroubledPast: She can potentially reveal to the MC that moving away was hard for her, but no further details have come up yet.
110	* AloofDarkHairedGirl: While her hair isn't long, Yumi still fits this mostly. She's dark-haired, tall, and rather mysterious.
111	* {{Bifauxnen}}: She could be mistaken for a PrettyBoy with her short haircut, pronounced eyelashes, and red suit.
112	* BoyishShortHair: Yumi's short hair gives her a boyish look.
113	* ExoticEyeDesigns: She has the spades suit for pupils.
114	* TheGadfly: She enjoys teasing people and writing strange things on her notebook to see their reactions.
115	* LadyLooksLikeADude: She clarifies that she is female but just prefers the boys uniform.
116	* {{leitmotif}}: ''"[[https://janhehr.com/track/2467893/yumi-s-theme-pt-1 Yumi's Theme, Pt. 1]]"'' and ''"[[https://janhehr.com/track/2467894/yumi-s-theme-pt-2 Yumi's Theme, Pt. 2]]"''.
117	* MeaningfulName: Yumi can mean "arrow" or "bow", and Yumi herself has a love for archery.
118	* NeverBeHurtAgain: Yumi intentionally acts mean to the MC at times in an effort to drive them away. If the Player chooses her to be their lab partner and [[spoiler: finds her sitting at the staircase the next day, she'll ask "''What are you trying to get out of this?''" and tells them she won't let herself be hurt again]].
119	* NewTransferStudent: She, along with Aiko and Kana, transfers to the protagonists school at the start of the story.
120	* SilentSnarker: Despite not speaking, she's very snarky with others, especially in the group chat.
121	* SmokingIsGlamorous: You can potentially find Yumi smoking alone at the bottom of the stairwell and looking quite glamorous in her red uniform. It's made funnier if you remember the protagonist [[DiscussedTrope discussed]] this trope a while back after they saw a few students smoking in front of the school. They flat-out say movies always make smoking look glamorous when in reality it smells bad, but Yumi looks ''exactly'' like someone smoking in a Hollywood movie.
122	* SugarAndIcePersonality: Yumi can be flippant and snarky one moment, then serious and blunt the next.
123	* UsefulNotes/SignedLanguage: Yumi can speak with Aiko in this way.
124	* TheSilentBob: Yumi is actually a very loud person, just not with her voice.
125	* TheSpeechless: Yumi's speech impaired, so she can't speak.
126	* TalkingWithSigns: Not a literal sign, but a notepad. Since Yumi is speech impaired, she writes on a small notepad as her primary method of communication with others. The one exception to this is Aiko, whom Yumi uses [[UsefulNotes/SignedLanguage sign language]] to communicate with.
127	* TownGirls: She's the butch to Aiko's femme and Kana's neither. Yumi has the most masculine style out of the three and can be quite crass at times.
128	* TsurimeEyes: She has these to highlight her snarky nature.

134	[[caption-width-right:680:''"I'm Aiko! It's a pleasure to meet you. We're all from Minami School, as you're aware."'']]
135
136	Perhaps the nicest of the four girls. Aiko plays the role of the OnlySaneWoman in the group. She was at the top of her class at Minami School prior to the fire.
137	----
138	* AmbiguouslyGay: Her and Yumi. They blush around each other, Yumi teases Aiko from time to time, Aiko's the only one Yumi opens up to, and she's also the only one who Yumi speaks [[UsefulNotes/SignedLanguage sign language]] with. If you choose Yumi to be your lab partner, Aiko almost seems disappointed that they won't be with each other. Likewise, if you choose Aiko to be your lab partner, Yumi will have a similar disappointed expression.
139	* ClassRepresentative: She ''was'' this at Minami before the fire. She laments having lost her title after transferring to a new school.
140	* ExoticEyeDesigns: She has the hearts suit for pupils.
141	* IdiotHair: Strangely, Aiko has an ahoge in addition to her OjouRinglets. She's the only one in the group to have it too, which is funny since she could be considered the least "quirky" of the four.
142	* {{leitmotif}}: ''"[[https://janhehr.com/track/2467896/aiko-s-theme-pt-1 Aiko's Theme, Pt. 1]]"'' and ''"[[https://janhehr.com/track/2467897/aiko-s-theme-pt-2 Aiko's Theme Pt. 2]]"''.
143	* MeaningfulName: [[spoiler: Similar to Aila, Aiko has the letters '''[[ArtificialIntelligence Ai]]''' at the start of her name. However, unlike Aila, Aiko doesn't seem to be AmbiguouslyEvil and likes helping people, so she could potentially be a benevolent Ai.]]
144	* NewTransferStudent: She, along with Kana and Yumi, transfers to the protagonists school at the start of the story.
145	* NiceGirl: Aiko is the nicest of the girls, by far.
146	* {{Ojou}}: Her father is rich and, unlike Kana, Aiko was very popular at Minami. Her profile above describes her as the "Minami Sweetheart".
147	* OjouRinglets: They're not as pronounced, but she has soft looking curls.
148	* OnlySaneWoman: Aiko is the most level-headed of the girls and she tries her best to break up any conflict within the group.
149	* ProfanityPolice: She does ''not'' like swearing of any sort.
150	* RhymingNames: Aik'''o''' Sat'''ou'''.
151	* RoseHairedSweetie: She's bubbly, sweet, and has bubblegum-pink hair to match.
152	* StraightManAndWiseGuy: Aiko plays the straight man to Kana's wise guy.
153	* SurvivorGuilt: [[spoiler: She feels guilty about not doing enough to help during the fire at Minami. If the Player tells her she can't save everyone, Aiko will say "but I should be able to save everyone".]]
154	* TeamMom: She gives off shades of this, especially when she brings Kana lunch. Aiko will scold someone in the group for things like swearing or goofing off, but is kind and gentle too. She even says she enjoys taking care of people. This gets [[{{deconstruction}} deconstructed]] later on in her route, as it shows [[spoiler: she may desire to take care of others ''too'' much. She has a really bad case of SurvivorGuilt from the fire at Minami and genuinely thinks she should've been able to save everyone]].
155	* TaremeEyes: She has these to highlight her soft and gentle nature.
156	* TheMeaningOfLife: [[spoiler: In one scene during her route, she'll ask the Player ''"why are you here?"'', to which they'll respond with confusion. She then says she means why do they think they exist]]. It's rather existential and not what you'd expect to hear from someone like Aiko.
157	* TownGirls: She's the femme to Yumi's butch and Kana's neither. Aiko is a prim and proper [[{{Ojou}} ojou]] and behaves the most traditionally feminine out of the three.
158	* UncannyValleyGirl: She seems perfect on the surface, but if you pay attention you'll start to notice little things that conflict with her "perfect girl" image. For one, [[spoiler: she has ''intense'' SurvivorGuilt that exceeds far beyond the usual. It's understandable for a person to feel guilt over not being able to save one or two people, but Aiko thinks she should be able to save ''everyone''. Secondly, Aiko likes biochemistry and wants to use it to help people. However, when asked why, she says she feels it's what she's ''meant'' to like. Lastly, the dream she had is a bit strange. While it starts off relatively innocent, at the end of the dream she was grabbed by a woman that "looked like she was stuck between two worlds". Rather than being scared by this, Aiko described the woman's touch as "electric" and says she's never felt so "alive"]].
159	* YamatoNadeshiko: She's very polite, formal, and pretty. However, she does not like needless conflict and will try to resolve it the best she can.
160	* YouthfulFreckles: Aiko had freckles in her [[https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/vvbmmx2.png early design]], but she no longer has them in her finalized design.

166
167	[[quoteright:706:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/d4rghtguwaaiubr.png]]
168
169	The StudentCouncilPresident and ClassRepresentative. Aila is assertive, pushy, and even a bit mean at times. She and the protagonist are hinted to have been romantically involved with each other in the past, causing Haruka to dislike her.
170	----
171	* AmicableExes: Her and the protagonist are implied to have dated in the past. A big reason for their falling out is because they were both competing for the position of top student. Despite that, they seem to be on good terms with each other. Aila even suggests they should go out for coffee next time they meet. The protagonist does get mildly annoyed with her at some points, though.
172	* AmbiguouslyEvil: In her introduction scene, Aila approaches the protagonist after school and tells them she needs to talk to them in private. After dragging them to the library, Aila says [[spoiler: that she was told by the school to keep an eye on Kana because they think she might be the one responsible for the fire at Minami. However, Aila asks (or, more accurately, ''demands'') the protagonist to switch their lab partner to Kana (if they weren't partnered with Kana already) and watch over her instead because they're in the same group and it'll be easier for them to get close to her]]. She gets more pushy about it later [[spoiler: and it seems like she's trying to convince them that Kana is crazy, even going as far as to say Kana killed someone]]. It's currently unknown what Aila's motives are or if she's just making all this up.
173	* BrainyBrunette: She's a top student and has light-brown hair.
174	* ClassRepresentative
175	* HimeCut: She has long, neat hair and blunt bangs to signify her high status.
176	* IronicName: The name Aila can mean "bringer of light", "holy", or "noble". Her motives are [[AmbiguouslyEvil ambiguous]] at best.
177	* LadyInAPowerSuit: She wears a deep red uniform, is an assertive StudentCouncilPresident, and doesn't take "no" for an answer.
178	* {{Leitmotif}}: ''"[[https://janhehr.com/track/2467899/broken Broken]]"''.
179	* MeaningfulName: On top of being an IronicName, her name also functions as a DoubleMeaning: [[spoiler:'''Ai'''la. As in, ArtificialIntelligence]].
180	* NonSpecificallyForeign: Her name [[OddNameOut stands out]] as not being Japanese, but her nationality isn't specified.[[note]]The name "Aila" is most common in UsefulNotes/{{Finland}}, however.[[/note]]
181	* NonStandardCharacterDesign: While the other characters are drawn in a typical anime style, Aila's portrait leans more into a realistic style, making her look rather off-putting if you were to place her next to the other characters.
182	* OddNameOut: The other characters have fairly common Japanese names, while Aila is a name of European origin.
183	* PoliticallyIncorrectVillain: Well, "villain" has [[AmbiguouslyEvil yet to be determined]], but Aila [[spoiler: cites Kana's history of mental health issues as a reason that she's dangerous and even claims Kana killed someone]]. The MC then protests by saying [[spoiler: being mentally ill doesn't make you a killer, and that [[TruthInTelevision people with mental illnesses are often victims not killers]]]].
184	* ProperTightsWithASkirt: She wears black tights to go with her skirt.
185	* StatuesqueStunner: Aila is described as tall and pretty.
186	* StudentCouncilPresident
187	* TheStoic: Even when upset at the protagonist, Aila always has the expressionless sprite shown above. It's her only sprite, in fact.
188	* TinyGuyHugeGirl: Has this dynamic with the protagonist if you make them short and male.
189	* TitleDrop: Does this during her conversation with the protagonist [[spoiler: when she tells them to change their lab partner to Kana]]:
190	--> '''Aila''': [[spoiler: Once they find out who the culprit was, you can change back, but for now...this is beyond me or you, and you need to understand that]].

192
193	[[folder: Mr. Saito]]
194
195	The teacher of the science class.
196	----
197	* HumansAreBastards: He seems to think so. When lecturing the class about genetics, he says humans tend to be [[ItsAllAboutMe selfish]] and cause physical pain in the beings they create. During said lecture, [[spoiler: a glitchy figure resembling a woman repeatedly flashes on screen, implying someone else is watching and Mr. Saito's words here are possibly not his own]].
198	* MeaningfulName: [[spoiler: Another person with the letters '''AI''' in their name. However, this seems to be a subversion because his species on the official wiki page is listed as "human".]]
199	* SadistTeacher: He takes a little too much joy in embarrassing Haruka in front of the class.
200	* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: He dishes out a ''vicious'' one to Haruka.
201	--->'''Mr. Saito:''' So good of you to show up. You're only fifteen minutes late. Given your disregard for punctuality, you've missed group assignment. You've been attending this school for years, and you can't even find your way to class. It's a miracle you found your way at all, Haruka. Given you couldn't even spell ''"map"'', let alone use one.
202	--->'''Haruka:''' We didn't mean to be late.
203	--->'''Mr. Saito:''' And we didn't mean to have nuclear weapons revolutionize man's relationship with war, and yet here we are.
204	--->'''Haruka:''' ...I don't think being late to class is like inventing weapons.
205	--->'''Mr. Saito:''' For once, you're correct. You don't think.
206	* TheVoice: Since he's only a minor character he doesn't have a sprite. All that's said about his appearance is that he wears thick glasses and a suit.
207	* TormentedTeacher: It’s said that the students don't like him very much and rejoiced when he threatened to quit. Haruka went as far as to put a impolite note on his car as a "parting gift", which fueled his disdain towards her.
208	[[/folder]]
209
210	[[folder: Mr. Tanaka]]
211
212	The Protagonists' homeroom teacher.
213	----
214	* ApatheticTeacher: In contrast to Mr. Saito, Tanaka doesn't care about the students lateness. The protagonist says Mr. Tanaka also tends to be hungover at the start of the school year.
215	* FlatCharacter: Tanaka doesn't have much to him aside from being the apathetic homeroom teacher. The game usually skips to science class where all the important stuff happens.
216	* TheGhost: Mr. Tanaka is never seen and has no lines of dialogue. He's only mentioned in passing as the Protagonist and Haruka make their way to science class.

226	* AmbiguouslyEvil: Near the end of the October 2021 demo, the Player finds themselves being spoken to in a glitched alleyway by a person heavily implied to be Talia. Talia mentions that she's been watching over the Player and their choices the entire time. During her evaluation of their choices, she expresses distate for the Player. Yet she says she has the same goal as them: to find love.
227	* AmbiguouslyRelated: "Talia" is clearly an [[SignificantAnagram anagram]] of "Aila". However, the two share no similarities in appearance and it's not known how they're related aside from their names. At least for now.
228	* AmbiguousSituation: The nature of Talia's existence is not entirely clear. In the original demo, she replaces Haruka and says she set the other girls "free". It's unknown whether this means she actually freed them or if they're dead.
229	* AstonishinglyAppropriateAppearance: Talia is an [[TheOmniscient omniscient]] figure that is aware of everything in the game. This is reflected in her design, where her hand is hovering over three browser tabs, which she presumably uses for keeping an eye on the different places seen in the game.
230	* BodySnatcher: She takes over Haruka's body in the original 2019 demo and is able to speak through her. It's implied at the end of the October 2021 demo that she plans to do this to the Player, which might be why she evaluates their height, weight, and eye color.
231	* DreamWalker: When Aiko describes her dream to the protagonist, she recalls being grabbed by a woman with short hair that "looked like she was stuck between two worlds". The woman is most likely Talia, as she definitely looks the part and is the only character in the game that fits such a description. This would mean Talia has the ability to enter the dreams of others.
232	* HeightInsult: If you chose an average height for your character, she'll call you "boring". If you chose a shorter height, she'll say you're either pandering for "[[RuleOfCute cuteness points]]" or "really are that unfortunate".
233	* {{Leitmotif}}: She shares one with Aila. The track titled ''"[[https://janhehr.com/track/2467899/broken Broken]]"''.
234	* SignificantAnagram: "Talia" is an anagram of "Aila".
235	* TheComputerShallTauntYou: If the Player responded "Yes" to the question "Do you believe you're smarter than ArtificialIntelligence?", she will ask why you're playing the game in the first place.
236	* TheOmniscient: Has been watching over everything (including the Player and their choices) from behind the scenes.
237	* WalkingSpoiler: Talia's very existence is tied to the horror aspect of the game.
