The twelve main characters for Mona Lisa's Silly Talk
The characters of Mona Lisa's Silly Talk.
open/close all folders
Protagonists
Characters who are mostly portrayed as protagonists. Sora
- Butt-Monkey: The universe seems to have it out for poor Sora.
- Character Catchphrase: "Watashi wa Sora," or "I am Sora." Usually said at the beginning of episodes where she's the main character, and frequently lampshaded.
- Genki Girl: Has endless enthusiasm and happiness to share. Or anger. If she's upset, you'll know.
- Hair-Trigger Temper: For someone who's mostly a happy ball of sunshine, Sora is surprisingly quick to anger. Not that her anger is taken seriously.
Fuji
- Tranquil Fury: Unlike most of the other characters, when he gets angry, he gets eerily calm. It's a sign to run.
Kasumi
- Break the Cutie: Kasumi may be really sweet, and can seem to have almost infinite patience... but when pushed too far, watch out!
- Shrinking Violet: Often nervous around others, and often bullied when she is noticed.
Koji
- Clark Kent Outfit: Usually shown to be quite muscular without a shirt, and he is quite physically strong in general. You'd never guess it just by looking at him in his usual outfit, though!
Kurumi
- Hyperspace Mallet: Kurumi has a bat filled with nails that she conveniently produces when she gets angry.
- Motherly Side Plait: Kurumi is often cast as the mother of the main character, and is a genuinely loving mother in such roles.
Yanagi
- Badass Arm-Fold: He usually stands in this manner when going off on the villain of the episode when they're being defeated.
Antagonists
Characters who are often portrayed as antagonists, but also have stories where they are protagonists.
Enji
- The Casanova: Often shown as a man who picks up women easily, if not necessarily wanting to stay with them for long.
- Casanova Wannabe: On the other hand, often can't get a woman to save his life, with the problem usually being Enji himself.
- Depending on the Artist: Sometimes his hair is drawn as fairly wavy, while other times it's drawn as completely straight.
Gen
- Otaku: A frequent role for Gen, usually a negative portrayal, often being obsessed to the point of hurting his loved ones.
- Stalker with a Crush: Often creepily stalks the girl he likes, particularly Sora, Kasumi, or Kuroha.
- Straw Misogynist: He is often open about his opinion of women being lesser than men.
Hisame
- Beauty Breeds Laziness: Seen as a beautiful woman in-universe, and often exceedingly lazy as an antagonist.
- Cool Big Sis: Often acts as a big sister-figure when she's a good person.
- Expressive Hair: Stands on end when she's angry, and even becomes Medusa-like snakes when angered even further.
- Fiery Redhead: Reddish-pink, but very fiery personality!
- Hair-Trigger Temper: A hotter temper than Sora, and more dangerous when she is angry!
- Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Often this in her protagonist roles, and occasionally even as an antagonist.
- Medusa: Hisame's hair turns to snakes when she's enraged enough, which is often. While it's usually just a visual effect, the snake hair has bitten the person causing her anger on occasion.
- Mama Bear: When she's a good person, you really, really do not want to hurt her children.
- Obnoxious Entitled Housewife: Often marries for money, doesn't do housework, and wants to do nothing but spend money all day.
Kuroha
- Ax-Crazy: Sometimes completely unhinged as an antagonist.
- Bitch in Sheep's Clothing: Often comes across as a sweet girl at first, only to reveal her true colors later on.
- Endearingly Dorky: A fairly common role when she's a good person.
- The Fake Cutie: Frequently acts in this way to get others to do her work for her.
- Manipulative Bastard: Whether a protagonist or an antagonist, but she's more successful when she's a protagonist.
- Yandere: Kuroha sometimes falls for Koji hard, and will do anything and everything for him, whether he likes it or not.
Tetsu
- Crossdresser: Tetsu somewhat frequently dresses as "Patina," often but not always with benign motives.
- Pointy-Haired Boss: Almost completely inept when given any job position of authority.
- Straw Misogynist: Is often open about his opinion of women being lesser than men.
Wasabi
- Big Sister Worship: Absolutely idolizes her older sister Karashi when they appear as sisters.
- Evil Is Petty: Sometimes does something to hurt someone just because she's angry at them.
- Foolish Sibling, Responsible Sibling: The foolish sibling to Karashi's responsible sibling.
- Genki Girl: She's always either extremely happy, extremely sad, or extremely angry. Whatever she's feeling, it's really obvious to everyone around her.
- Obliviously Evil: While the other antagonists usually know when they're doing something wrong, Wasabi is often genuinely clueless as to why anyone would have a problem with her behavior.
- Obnoxious In-Laws: A very common role for Wasabi. Much of the time she isn't actively trying to be an obnoxious in-law, but the end result still hurts the other person.
- Smoky Voice: No matter how old Wasabi is in the episode, her voice sounds like she's been smoking a carton of cigarettes or several decades.
- Trademark Favorite Food: Wasabi, the person, has a strong love for wasabi, the food.
- Verbal Tic: Wasabi adds "wasa" a lot to her dialogue, often even replacing words with "wasa" (helpfully translated in the speech bubbles).
Other
Minor characters.
Karashi
- A Day in the Limelight: While most of the episodes she appears in are centered around Wasabi, Karashi herself has a few episodes focusing on her.
- Big Sister Instinct: Very caring toward Wasabi.
- Foolish Sibling, Responsible Sibling: The responsible sibling to Wasabi's foolish sibling.
- Morality Pet: Barring two appearances, Wasabi is never an antagonist when Karashi is her older sister.
- Tin Man: She appears almost completely incapable of emotion, but is really just poor at expressing herself.
Mobu Trio (Mobumi, Moburo, and Mobuko)
Mobumi
Moburo
Mobuko
A trio of extras with purple hair of varying shades. They usually play good people.- A Day in the Limelight: Mobumi
has one episode she stars in. - Boyish Short Hair: Mobumi normally has this, save for one early episode where she has longer hair, only to get it cut.
- Meaningful Name: The "mobu" part of their name literally means "mob," as in NPCs.
- Recurring Extra: Usually exist as less important characters in small roles to give the main characters more important roles.
Girl with a DQN Name and Her Mother
The Girl with a DQN Name
Her Mother... sometimes.
A couple of antagonistic extras with no name given. Like the main antagonists, they can be good or bad people, depending on the episode.- Ascended Extra: Originally intended to be one-shot antagonists early in the series' life, but because of the popularity of that video, they've become recurring characters, albeit minor ones.
- Bit Part Bad Guys: They both often play this role.
- No Name Given: The Girl with a DQN Name has a name that's apparently embarrassing, but we never hear what the name is. The mother presumably has a name as well, but it too is never mentioned.
- Non-Indicative Name: For a loose definition of "name," but despite being known as the Girl with a DQN Name's mother, as she was in their original appearance, she is not always her mother.
- Recurring Extra: Usually exist as less important characters in small roles to give the main characters more important roles, frequently minor antagonist roles.
Mochi
A box full of mochi. The darker, meaner-looking one is MQN.
Both food and a living species, found in a lot of places.- Anthropomorphic Food: Literally an animal-like species, except they're mochi.
- Token Evil Teammate: MQN, a darker, angrier-looking mochi, more comically violent than standard mochi.
- Unusually Uninteresting Sight: In a setting that's modern-day Japan, no one ever questions mochi being alive. Or even talking sometimes.
