A list of characters that appeared in My Candy Love and the various tropes associated with each.
Candy
The player character. A girl who moved from an unnamed school to Sweet Amoris High at the beginning of the first season. She who gets caught up in the lives of her classmates.
You can chose what Candy looks like and have some control over her personality.
- Butt-Monkey: If there is some kind of humiliation, punishment, or misfortune, she will be the one to suffer through it.
- Clingy Jealous Girl: Depending on the choices you make in "High School Life", your Candy will expresses her jealousy through passive aggression.
- Covert Pervert:
- For such a nice, sweet girl, she does show some pretty questionable tendencies. One rather amusing example is in "The House of Secrets", where, despite knowing the seriousness of the situation, she briefly forgets her worries to comment on the fact that Nathaniel sleeps in boxers.
- In "Roaring Evening", she has a sex dream wherein she has a threesome with the love interest who has the highest affinity and whoever else is in the illustration. And yes she was single at the time.
- Girl Next Door: Candy is a friendly, down-to-earth teenage girl who is pretty innocent as far as relationships go.
- Hair Color Dissonance: In some of the illustrations, the black hair option can have a more purplish hue.
- Heroic Self-Deprecation: Despite how much she helps others, Candy has a tendency to be hard on herself, both in her internal monologue or out loud.
- Hormone-Addled Teenager: She spends a good amount of "Influenced" thinking about sex. At one point she even has an erotic dream, only it's about Evan, not her then boyfriend. She feels guilty about that specific aspect.
- Nervous Wreck:
- She's always been somewhat anxious since the beginning, but later episodes of "High School Life" has her anxiety become an established part of her character. For example, Alexy mentioning college causes her to have a panic attack.
- She straight up passes out in "Under Pressure" due to all of the stress she was under.
- Nosy Neighbor: A staple of Candy's character is that she's incredibly curious about the other students' lives. Several objectives have you snoop around to uncover some secret one or more character has. She's almost as bad as Peggy in this regard, though unlike Peggy, Candy can actually be discreet when needed.
- Oblivious to Love:
- During "High School Life", Candy stresses to Lucy that boys don't take much interest in her, but Lucy points out that plenty of the guys like her, she just never noticed. When love interest with high affinity give off hints that they're crushing on Candy, she makes one little inward comment noting their hint before brushing it off entirely.
- In "University Life", she's a young adult who isn't quite as naive about love and dating, making her a bit bolder when pursing her love interests.
- The Everyman: Candy mostly represents the kind of girl that's behind the other side of the screen. At the start of the game, she's just another high school student trying to get her paperwork ready. She meets a few obnoxious girls, makes some good friends, and can develop a crush with one of the available love interests.
- Virtual Paper Doll: The game provides a wide array of apparel to dress your Candy up in, including alternative expressions: a zombie cheerleader, a flower witch, a mermaid, an astronaut, even cosplay as one of the characters, and so.
