History Characters / DanganRonpaFemaleStudents

* DecoyDamsel: At first, she looks like an ordinary love interest. Then she tries to betray Makoto and ends up getting murdered.

* OohMeAccentsSlipping: In the English localization, her affected French accent tends to slip when she's angry. When she admits defeat and that her real name is Taeko Yasuhiro, she temporarily drops it completely.

** If you hang out with her, it's revealed that this is most of what her "talent" consists of. She even won a high-level shogi tournament despite ''not knowing how to play'' because she got lucky enough. Which makes her breakdown make more sense, because she's used to things going her way enough that she doesn't know how to react when she's clearly cornered.

* OutOfFocus: The six survivors all enjoy some form of furthered {{character development}} besides her. Makoto continues to be a major figure after becoming the Ultimate Hope and has his own short story from before that new title was earned, Byakuya receives a major level of importance in both sequels along with a novel, Kyoko has her own 4-part series of prequel novels, Toko became a playable character in ''Absolute Despair Girls'' and Yasuhiro has his own short story within that game as well. As for her, besides joining Future Foundation like everyone else, her situation had remained rather static in the five real-time years since escaping the school up until ''The End of Hope’s Peak Academy'' was announced, with the closest being her brother demonstrating their family's athleticism in ''Absolute Despair Girls'' (and even then, he wasn't nearly as important to the plot as Yasuhiro's mom). The very first poster revealing ''The End of Hope's Peak Academy'' finally averts this, with her given top billing next to Makoto, opposite of Kyoko.

* StoryBreakerPower: In a series largely revolving around solving murders and uncovering secrets, Kyoko's status as 'The Ultimate Detective' makes her incredibly useful. Acknowledged in-universe as [[DangerouslyGenreSavvy Monokuma realizes this from the beginning]], first erasing any memory of her past, including her Ultimate talent, and then trying to get her killed in Chapter 5.

* ThanatosGambit: She commited suicide on the hope that 1)By getting rid of the mole, the reason for her friends to kill ends. 2) Killing herself ultimately reminds everybody that they shouldn't fight against each other, but should fight against the Headmaster. It works beautifully and doubles as a CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming when they read her true suicide letter.

* FaceHeelTurn: In two ways. She was a witness in the first two cases and helps out Makoto solve the mysteries of both cases and preventing many to die from wrong accusation. Then in the third case, she suddenly decides to become the culprit. In the other way, Celeste was one of the students agreeing with the Hope Peak's Academy program to stay in the school to keep the hope of the world. Due to the mastermind's machinations of tampering the students' memories, Celeste ends up as someone who's very desperate to get out of the school, forgetting her agreement.

** In the anime 7th episode, Celeste remarks that Byakuya and Jill are "Cold, heartless [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking and devoid of calcium.]]" for insulting how Hifumi momentarily came back to life [[RealityEnsues just to die again]]. Um, lady, who's cold and heartless enough to mastermind the murder of two people and probably the rest due to the rules, and even called Hifumi a fat idiot, just to get one selfish dream?

* ExplainExplainOhCrap: When it dawns on her that Celeste only took her to the bathroom to hep her accomplice Hifumi sneak out of the nurse's office.

* OutOfFocus: The six survivors all enjoy some form of furthered {{character development}} besides her.

'''Celestia:''' ''(gripping the hammer)'' Yes. ''(winding up)'' Yes... That's absolutely correct.

* GeniusSweetTooth: She enjoys taking chocolate with her coffee while working.

* HoistByHisOwnPetard: Monokuma's method of framing her is intended to invoke this regarding the Monokuma key that she stole. Her using Makoto as a distraction to both steal it and use it would lead to him finding out from Monokuma himself what exactly was stolen, giving him all the inkling he would need to destroy her defense in the following case (even if she hadn't mentioned it at all). [[SpannerInTheWorks Makoto doesn't follow through on his end]].

* MustHaveCaffeine: Luwak Coffee is one of the best presents the player can give her, and she can engage Makoto in a long-discussion on coffee varieties during School Mode under the assumption that he's a coffee-drinker too[[note]]and if he can impress her with his knowledge, she promises to brew him a cup of her own special mix[[/note]]. She also mentions having a SweetTooth for the fast-acting alertness associated with chocolate/cocoa, especially when she's working while tired.

* OffscreenMomentOfAwesome: She ran into Makoto's room and confronted a knife-wielding attacker supposedly holding the title of Ultimate Soldier while he (the protagonist and therefore the viewer) slept through the entire thing. Even if EJunko ran off after being spotted like the Climax Inference/Closing Statement page seems to imply, it was still a pretty ballsy move on her part.

* HeroicSacrifice: Commits suicide as a way of breaking the mastermind's hold on the other students. Noticeably, there are ''zero'' actual murders after her death. Not only did her suicide get even Byakuya (and by extension, Toko/Genocider Jill) to stand and rally against Monokuma, but she managed to break open the headmaster's lock before committing suicide which allowed Kyoko gain access to it.

* DefrostingIceQueen: While she never drops her facade in the main story even into death, School Mode has her admitting that she rarely speaks so openly or honestly when the player chooses a good dialogue option. Adding to that, her Trigger Happy Heart event has her showing the ever-so-slightest hint of genuine vulnerability when she internally worries about ruining her friendship with Makoto by asking him to be her knight. Fully knowing that his loyalty is real, her School Mode ending sees her officially appointing him as knight, which he accepts as graciously as he can.

-->'''Junko:''' That's it! Naegi alone will be cruelly punished! First, I'll make him Monobear sized! Then I'll dress him in a Monobear suit! ''(Naegi looks terrified)''\\

* {{Hypocrite}}: [[TropesAreTools Arguably an effective way of humanizing her apparent infallibility at investigating]]. Makoto refusing to tell her what he wanted to speak with Sakura about triggers her {{berserk button}} [[RememberThatYouTrustMe after the two promised to trust one another]], but this happens because him voicing his suspicions before learning if Sakura really was TheMole would unfairly implicate her without proof (essentially forcing him over to her way of thinking since her [[EveryoneIsASuspect distrust in everyone]] makes it easier for her to throw blame around). This hostility towards Makoto continues into [[BreakUpMakeUpScenario the next half of the chapter]] in spite of her [[PoorCommunicationKills withholding information from him]] long after that agreement while previously showing herself to be less than trustworthy by sending him to act as live bait for The Mastermind, [[NoSympathy to then tell him]] to [[MenAreTough man up]] when he [[TapOnTheHead got beaten over the head]] [[GuileHero for her goals]]. She calls him foolishly open in her Free Time Events while also saying his honest nature suits him, only to suspend that same thinking by misconstruing his keeping a secret being in malice instead of loyalty, shunning his clear attempts to reconnect against her usual perceptiveness; his obvious guilt should probably have tipped her off that maybe he has a good reason for keeping this particular secret. Even after the secret comes out, she criticizes Togami for stepping over people's feelings despite spending most of the game [[CrypticallyUnhelpfulAnswer brushing people off if they demand answers from her]] while largely acting neutrally on Ogami's situation ([[TheComplainerIsAlwaysWrong save for telling Aoi her anger plays into The Mastermind's hand]]). The fifth trial marks a turning point in this attitude, because [[ItsAllMyFault the extent of her failure there]] [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone forces her to see the hypocrisies in her thinking]] (Naegi TakingTheHeat for her frame-job showing which one deserved to be trusted, while showing how many truths she can miss out on [[IWorkAlone by working alone]]). She ultimately apologises in the trash dump for all of this, finally vowing to tell him everything. This goes a great length towards showcasing how susceptible to being emotional (and therefore illogical) she truly is, and learning to step down from the self-appointed pedestal of [[SeekerArchetype truth seeker]] by working with others ends up being some important CharacterDevelopment for her.

* InsultBackfire: She tells Makoto his capacity for {{forgiveness}} [[SillyRabbitIdealismIsForKids makes him naïve]] when the two [[DueToTheDead have a disagreement over the storage unit holding Mukuro's corpse, and whether it should be left open]]. Makoto wonders internally if her listening to him and closing the drawer means the same naivety applies to her. More charitably, you might also view it as her showing her respect for his wishes without necessarily having respect for Ikusaba.

* ItsAllMyFault: She uses this wording at the end of the fifth trial, as Naegi is about to be executed.

* IWarnedYou: She doesn't take well to her attempts at preserving the group's safety being ignored, such as telling everyone not to needlessly defy Monokuma or touch the laptop (two things done by 'Enoshima' and Naegi respectively). Her [[DeathGlare glaring at Yamada]] for speaking to Alter Ego without permission is enough to make him think she's going to kill him.

-->'''Naegi''': ''(Internally)'' "What does she think a boy is?"[[note]]The Project Zetsubou translation goes "Just what do you think guys are made of, exactly?" while the Website/SomethingAwful translation is "'Man enough'... What does she even think that means?"[[/note]]

* OffscreenMomentOfAwesome: She ran into Naegi's room and confronted a knife-wielding attacker supposedly holding the title of Ultimate Soldier while he (the protagonist and therefore the viewer) slept through the entire thing. Even if Enoshima ran off after being spotted like the Climax Inference/Closing Statement page seems to imply, it was still a pretty ballsy move on her part.

* TheProfiler: She can usually be counted on to announce [[SympathyForTheDevil the culprit's more sympathetic motivations]] at the end of the trials based on what she knows, though it's not always clear if she does this through astute profiling or if she's a ''lot'' more [[TheEmpath attuned to people's emotions than she lets on]] (perhaps a combination of the two). In any case, she infers that Maizono was protecting Naegi from suspicion, Owada was protecting Fujisaki's secret and Ogami was protecting the group from Monokuma's plot, which not even Ishimaru or Asahina were able to figure from their friends' behavior (though the two lacked vital information to be completely fair). Celestia's actions are the only ones she isn't able to rationalize, because of those particular motivations being selfish enough to lack any sympathetic angles.

* TheOnlyOneITrust: Naegi tries to be this for her after the third chapter, which is when she begins to warm up to him. She's lied to or kept from information by every else at various points and takes it in stride; Naegi choosing to keep a secret from her is when she finally reacts badly. Only after his actions in the fifth trial does he become a true example for her.

* TryingNotToCry: Implied in the Headmaster's secret room, where she asks Naegi to leave so she can "sort out her feelings."

* WhatTheHellAreYou: She uses this sort of wording after Enoshima lays out her logistically impossible plan in the final trial. She demands to know if there's some other organization backing her, and isn't exactly satisfied with the answer about despair simply being contagious.

* XanatosGambit: At the end of the fourth trial she calls Naegi awake and sends him off to the data center, to which he finds nothing of interest while she made her way to the headmaster's office. Taking Ogami's last words about fighting The Mastermind at face value, in this situation either she or Naegi would be able to steal their way into an important location, or they'd find out if The Mastermind is able to operate multiple Monokumas should the plan "fail." It won her the literal key to said Mastermind's downfall.

* CrushBlush: During her second Free-Time Event, she looks straight at Naegi after saying she's interested in someone, and Naegi can swear her cheeks are tinted red. Whether this is a legitimate use of the trope or she's just able to blush on command is up in the air.

* DoubleSpeak: In their last conversation, after Naegi explains how the bathroom door doesn't lock, she mentions "using" the shower in the morning once the water turns back on (without explicitly saying she'd be having a shower). This could be taken as shorthand for cleaning up the crime scene.

* GirlNextDoor: Her design seems to invoke this image to give her a sense of humble innocence. This makes her betrayal both more and less shocking. Shocking by how it clashes with her idol image, and yet unshocking because it proves how good of an idol she was to project that image so well. There's also the matter of her being the literal girl next door to Naegi.

* ATragedyOfImpulsiveness: Her chances would've been improved if she'd taken the time to hide the replica sword before enacting her plan, or if she simply hadn't compelled Naegi to keep it in the first place (though this could be taken as a hint that she legitimately wanted him to be safe from harm).

* WrongGenreSavvy: [[TheDitz In complete contrast]] to her "good intuition," she thinks 'Enoshima' and Fukawa's bickering is [[LikeAnOldMarriedCouple a sign of them getting along, like a pair of sisters]]. Naegi just thinks she's completely misread the situation.

* ComfortFood: She says in a Free-Time Event that doughnuts serve this purpose for her, telling Naegi they won't be special if she has them all the time. This turns out to be the case at the start of chapter 3, when she's seen alone crying and saying now more than ever would be the time for doughnuts.
* TheComplainerIsAlwaysWrong: Quarrels with almost everyone over Ogami's apparent betrayal in the fourth chapter, and is browbeaten every time about her hostility giving The Mastermind what they want... in spite of Togami doing the same thing, from a different angle (she also wasn't around to hear Kirigiri telling Togami to have some sympathy). This probably helped her to justify wanting to kill them all.

* InnocentBlueEyes: She evokes the image well, while also being another trait she shares with Ogami (though hers are a tad [[IcyBlueEyes Icier]]).

* NobodysThatDumb: During the fifth trial, the students are discussing why the most recent corpse exploded when they tried to run the usual autopsy. Resident {{Cloudcuckoolander}} Hagakure gives his take, and she calls him out on it.
-->'''Hagakure:''' I'll tell ya! I bet some unknown quantum particle caused an atomic-level spontaneous combustion!\\
'''Asahina:''' I might be dumb, but even I'm not dumb enough to believe that!

* OutOfFocus: The six survivors all enjoy some form of furthered {{character development}} besides her. Naegi continues to be a major figure after becoming the Ultimate Hope and has his own short story from before that new title was earned, Togami receives a major level of importance in both sequels along with a novel, Kirigiri has her own 4-part series of prequel novels, Fukawa became a playable character in ''Absolute Despair Girls'' and Hagakure has his own short story within that game as well. As for her, besides joining Future Foundation like everyone else, her situation had remained rather static in the five real-time years since escaping the school up until ''The End of Hope’s Peak Academy'' was announced, with the closest being her brother demonstrating their family's athleticism in ''Absolute Despair Girls'' (and even then, he wasn't nearly as important to the plot as Hagakure's mom). The very first poster revealing ''The End of Hope's Peak Academy'' finally averts this, with her given top billing next to Naegi, opposite of Kirigiri.

* SpannerInTheWorks: She would've dismantled Maizono's plan no matter who walked out of the murder scene by virtue of merely sitting in the dining hall when the knife went missing. The anime even puts her in the actual kitchen at the time, rather than noticing the missing knife while washing her tea cup. She also decides to put on the Robo Justice costume to prove a point against Hagakure, which leads to everyone figuring out it couldn't bend at the waist.

-->'''Ogami''': Nevertheless, having a murderer among us flourishing that kind of style is worrisome.\\
'''Ashina:''' Ah...!\\
'''Yamada:''' What is it now!?\\
'''Asahina:''' Fukawa-san...!\\
'''Naegi:''' ''(internally)'' We looked over to where Asahina-san was pointing, and over there, by the changing room's door...

* ContraltoOfDanger: Subverted by her being one of the truly goodhearted students. The only times she'll live up to her menacing appearance (and voice) is when someone starts picking on Asahina.

* MistakenForMurderer: This was the reason for Hagakure's retaliation with the Monokuma bottle in the fourth case, with him thinking she was going to kill him.

* SpellMyNameWithAnS: The LetsPlay spells her name as "Oogami" and this has stuck with the western side of the fandom, though in other places it will occasionally be spelled as "Ookami". In addition, Funimation uses Ogami, while the anime itself uses Ohgami. The American localization went with Ogami.

Also known as the "Queen of Liars", Celestia is renowned for her exemplary luck in games of chance. She's accumulated a sizable fortune by robbing anyone stupid enough to challenge her blind. She speaks softly and smiles often, but in a way that tends to creep out everyone around her. She also hides a surprisingly short temper and will start shouting (usually at [[ButtMonkey Hifumi]]) if she isn't pleased. She is the culprit of Chapter 3, tricking Hifumi into killing Kiyotaka, then killing him and trying to frame Yasuhiro for it. She is exposed during the trial and executed by Monokuma, subjected to a faux "witch burning" that gets interrupted when Monokuma rams a fire truck into her.

* DefrostingIceQueen: While she never drops her facade in the main story even into death, School Mode has her admitting that she rarely speaks so openly or honestly when the player chooses a good dialogue option. Adding to that, her Trigger Happy Heart event has her showing the ever-so-slightest hint of genuine vulnerability when she internally worries about ruining her friendship with Naegi by asking him to be her knight. Fully knowing that his loyalty is real, her School Mode ending sees her officially appointing him as knight, which he accepts as graciously as he can.

* InferioritySuperiorityComplex: The duality of her character causes her to have a fragmented version of this. She absolutely loathes herself as Taeko, yet her sense of self-worth as Celestia is astronomical, if not borderline-delusional (hence her willingness to sacrifice two people out of selfishness).

* {{Malaproper}}: She objects to Hagakure voting to ostracize Fukawa by telling him "That's a cold thing to say so plainly. It's as if you're an iceberg lettuce." Ishimaru points out how wrong this statement is.
** In Project Zetsubou's translation, she says "sounds like someone's in a sour mood. Have you been eating too much sour cream?" which makes Ishimaru tell her sour cream isn't all that sour. The official translation makes little to no sense where she compares him to a piece of rock candy.
--->'''Ishimaru:''' What!? No, rock candy isn't cold, it's sweet!

** [[CryForTheDevil Perhaps more sympathetically]], you may also notice that those strings belong to a burnt doll labeled "Taeko" instead of "Celestia." Through all her manipulations [[ThatManIsDead motivated by finally killing Taeko]], [[BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor she actually killed Taeko]].

* NudityEqualsHonesty: Like all things suggesting honesty, she subverts the concept completely in the third chapter where she comes up with a SeamlessSpontaneousLie that wins exclusive use of the giant tub for the girls in order to confuse [[MascotVillain Monokuma]] away from the laptop. This sequence goes towards proving that Celestia, even in the most honest setting possible, is capable of lying through her teeth and pretending to trust everyone as if they were all friends fighting together against The Mastermind while plotting the ways she can betray them all.

* ThePointsMeanNothing: School Mode reveals that earning Knight Points apparently requires predicting how to best serve her. Naegi is just as confused.
-->'''Naegi:''' Do you want to read something?\\

'''Naegi:''' ''(internally)'' Umm... so which part should I ask her about first?

* PronounTrouble: While recounting the night of the murder during the second trial, she pauses for a moment to add "-kun" to Fujisaki's name.

* StockForeignName: Which is not a spoiler by itself, because right at the beginning of the game she introduces herself as Celestia Ludenberg and it's so unusual for a Japanese person Makoto asks for Celestia's real name. She say she can't give him that, Celestia is the name she goes by, and please just call her "Celeste". The spoiler part is that her real name is Taeko Yasuhiro, which causes a ''huge'' problem when she kills Hifumi and he says "Yasuhiro," Taeko's last name, with his last breath...which is also Yasuhiro's first name and causes Yasuhiro to be the prime suspect!

* UnusualEuphemism: She never quite clarifies what the ranks mean in her knighting system, and in her School Mode Ending expects Naegi to rejoice at the suggestion that he may be worthy of B-Rank. He's not quite sure how to celebrate in a way that'll make her happy, which causes her to repeat herself three times as if she were delivering a WhamLine.

* DistinguishingMark: She has a tattoo on her right hand, which proves important later on. Subverted in that (as Kirigiri points out) this was easily concealed with foundation while she was alive.
* DumbBlonde: She reacts badly to Naegi assuming she doesn't read much in School Mode's library (even though her other dialogue options make it clear that she, in fact, doesn't). Since her hair is a wig and her natural color is raven black, she may just be defending her sister (who's implied to dye hers).

-->'''Naegi:''' Wanna check out the fashion magazines?\\
''''Enoshima:'''' Umm... not really. It's not like I need to know how to dress nice.\\
'''Naegi''': ...Huh? But Junko... aren't you a [[FashionModel model]]?\\
''''Enoshima:'''' Oh! Yeah! I am! But, see... I mean, I'm the one setting the trends, right? So, [[LikeIsLikeAComma like]], why would I need to look at a magazine? Er-Makoto! Stop underestimating the Ultimate Fashionista!

** She's one of the only four students that don't invite Naegi to their room at the end of their Free-Time Event path, with Maizono and Kirigiri's rooms being seen within the story and Togami [[FriendshipDenial outright telling Naegi they're not friends]] in his final event. Since her short presence means she never participates in a class trial, it becomes a bit harder to see her boots from the position the game views character sprites. During the fifth investigation, her boots are one of her only distinguishing features visible from underneath the white coat.

* NervousWreck: Despite the aura of confidence her character needs to project, she also panics easily and speaks in a way likely to spread distress among the group (the number of times she bellows "This is bad!" serving as a good example[[note]]it should probably be noted that she's originally bellowing "yabai" meaning annoying, inconvenient or dangerous/risky[[/note]]). Celestia tells her early on that this attitude will get her killed, but with what gets learned about her later on, the whole thing is likely very intentional.

-->'''Naegi:''' Look at those chickens!\\

-->'''Naegi:''' It's super humid in here, huh?\\

'''Naegi:''' What!? You've been in the tropics of southeast Asia!?\\

* ThroughHisStomach: She makes Naegi promise to eat whatever she makes in a School Mode conversation that has him offering to pack a lunch with her. This happens to be one of her best dialogue options too.
* TrueArtIsIncomprehensible: An InUniverse critic of this thinking as heard in School Mode, when Naegi brings up the paintings in the school store.

** All that said, her brutal honesty faces both ways. Despite Naegi wanting to rationalize it by the precarious position The Mastermind had placed her in during the last trial, she doesn't pull her punches on holding herself accountable for her actions, refusing to shift responsibility or allow any excuses. This leads to her apology being peppered with some uncharacteristic SelfDeprecation.

* CrazyPrepared: A softer example. She explains her methods to Naegi in the final investigation by telling him that she actually has several outcomes/variables/possibilities/situations/scenarios running through her head at any given time, and in turn will be slowly ticking those probabilities off her list as the facts pour in (always on the lookout for inferences she can use). Having a good idea on how a situation is going to progress across multiple separate turns probably explains how she remains so unflappable [[NotSoStoic most of the time]].

-->''(While Togami attempts to turn the laptop on)'' "Not that I believed we could ''Website/{{Google}}'' our way out of this mess, but it did cross my mind."

** Interestingly, her second-best reaction to any given dialogue option has her admitting that small talk can be appealing... [[ShipTease specifically because it's with Naegi]].

* HoistByHisOwnPetard: Monokuma's method of framing her is intended to invoke this regarding the Monokuma key that she stole. Her using Naegi as a distraction to both steal it and use it would lead to him finding out from Monokuma himself what exactly was stolen, giving him all the inkling he would need to destroy her defense in the following case (even if she hadn't mentioned it at all). [[SpannerInTheWorks Naegi doesn't follow through on his end]].

* {{Hypocrite}}: [[TropesAreTools Arguably an effective way of humanizing her apparent infallibility at investigating]]. Makoto refusing to tell her what he wanted to speak with Sakura about triggers her {{berserk button}} [[RememberThatYouTrustMe after the two promised to trust one another]], but this happens because him voicing his suspicions before learning if Ogami really was TheMole would unfairly implicate her without proof (essentially forcing him over to her way of thinking since her [[EveryoneIsASuspect distrust in everyone]] makes it easier for her to throw blame around). This hostility towards Naegi continues into [[BreakUpMakeUpScenario the next half of the chapter]] in spite of her [[PoorCommunicationKills withholding information from him]] long after that agreement while previously showing herself to be less than trustworthy by sending him to act as live bait for The Mastermind, [[NoSympathy to then tell him]] to [[MenAreTough man up]] when he [[TapOnTheHead got beaten over the head]] [[GuileHero for her goals]]. She calls him foolishly open in her Free Time Events while also saying his honest nature suits him, only to suspend that same thinking by misconstruing his keeping a secret being in malice instead of loyalty, shunning his clear attempts to reconnect against her usual perceptiveness; his obvious guilt should probably have tipped her off that maybe he has a good reason for keeping this particular secret. Even after the secret comes out, she criticizes Togami for stepping over people's feelings despite spending most of the game [[CrypticallyUnhelpfulAnswer brushing people off if they demand answers from her]] while largely acting neutrally on Ogami's situation ([[TheComplainerIsAlwaysWrong save for telling Asahina her anger plays into The Mastermind's hand]]). The fifth trial marks a turning point in this attitude, because [[ItsAllMyFault the extent of her failure there]] [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone forces her to see the hypocrisies in her thinking]] (Naegi TakingTheHeat for her frame-job showing which one deserved to be trusted, while showing how many truths she can miss out on [[IWorkAlone by working alone]]). She ultimately apologises in the trash dump for all of this, finally vowing to tell him everything. This goes a great length towards showcasing how susceptible to being emotional (and therefore illogical) she truly is, and learning to step down from the self-appointed pedestal of [[SeekerArchetype truth seeker]] by working with others ends up being some important CharacterDevelopment for her.

* IdentityAmnesia: How much of her detective life was stolen from her is ambiguous. In one Free-Time Event she's barely able to answer what school she last attended, leaving Naegi wondering why her answer sounded like a question. She also seems to have a good idea about where her burn scars came from, but is unable to determine how they might relate to working on a detective case. According to ''VideoGame/AbsoluteDespairGirls'', she knows enough about her grandfather for him to serve as a motivation, but seemingly doesn't know about all the detective training he gave her. By the end of the game it isn't clear how many memories she's actually recovered and how much was put together through inference.
* IDidWhatIHadToDo: Subverted: she says to Naegi in the trash dump that she absolutely had to survive the fifth trial at all costs, before calling it a cowardly excuse a moment later.

* InsultBackfire: She tells Naegi his capacity for {{forgiveness}} [[SillyRabbitIdealismIsForKids makes him naïve]] when the two [[DueToTheDead have a disagreement over the storage unit holding Ikusaba's corpse, and whether it should be left open]]. Naegi wonders internally if her listening to him and closing the drawer means the same naivety applies to her. More charitably, you might also view it as her showing her respect for his wishes without necessarily having respect for Ikusaba.

* AffectionateNickname: "Open Book" (sometimes translated as “foolishly open/honest”) to Makoto, because of how he wears his heart on his sleeve. He finds it rather annoying a name, [[InsultOfEndearment but grows alright with it after her last Free Time Event]], where she says she prefers him that way before getting in a quick laugh at his expense that seems natural (unlike every other highly-mechanical reaction of hers he's seen so far).
