History Characters / Ever17

* ParentalSubstitute: You never knew her father, but she did meet a man at the hospital who helped fill the void she felt by not having two parents. [[spoiler:He offered to clone her so she could feel that she would live on after her heart failed. Cure fixed her heart, though, and her mother died soon after, so she raised her clone as her daughter under her mother's name.]]

* SoapOperaDisease: Her heart condition. [[spoiler:Is eventually cured by the Cure Virus.]]

* SupernaturallyYoungParent: [[spoiler:Courtesy of Cure, physically she's barely 5 years older than her daughter.]]

* TheFaceless: [[spoiler:You never actually see what Takeshi looks like until the final route. The red-haired "Takeshi" that you see in the Kid's route is actually Ryogo, and the player is misled into thinking that he is Takeshi.]]

* WrongGenreSavvy: When Tsugumi asks Takeshi to close his eyes with a prettier look than normal, he’s clearly expecting something romantic. Instead, the blasts him in the face with acetone to get the ink off his face, which was annoying her.

* TheFaceless: [[spoilers:You never actually see what Takeshi looks like until the final route. The red-haired "Takeshi" that you see in the Kid's route is actually Ryogo, and the player is misled into thinking that he is Takeshi.]]

* TheFaceless: [[spoilers:You never actually see what Takeshi looks like until the final route.]]

* WalkingSpoiler: His role as the impersonator of Takeshi in the 2034 incident is one of the game's main twists, leading up to the central twist that Takeshi's path and the Kid's path are depicting different events.

* TomatoInTheMirror: In the final route, the revelation of the game's central twist(s) begins when the Kid, with supernatural memories from previous routes, looks in a mirror and sees his own golden-blond face—a face completely different from the brown-blond Kid that appeared in Takeshi's [=PoV=]. Since he (and Blick Winkel) only remembers how "he" appeared from Takeshi's [=PoV=], he is completely confused by his actual appearance.

* TomatoInTheMirror: In the final route, the revelation of the game's central twist(s) begins when the Kid, with supernatural memories from previous routes, looks in a mirror and sees his own golden-blond face—a face completely different to the brown-blond Kid that appeared in Takeshi's [=PoV=]. Since he only remembers how "he" appeared from Takeshi's [=PoV=], he is greatly confused at his actual appearance.

* TomatoInTheMirror: In the final route, the revelation of the game's central twist(s) begins when the Kid, with supernatural memories from previous routes, looks in a mirror and sees his own golden-blond face—a face completely different to the brown-blond Kid that appeared in Takeshi's [=PoV=].

* WalkingSpoiler: His existence in the story spoils the fact that the NPC-Kid that Takeshi sees in his route is not the [[PlayerCharacter PC]]-Kid that the player plays as in the Kid's route, and vice versa. This in turn spoils the fact that Takeshi's route and the Kid's route are depicting completely different events.

The Kid from the 2017 incident, and the impersonator of Takeshi in the 2034 incident. During the 2017 incident, a brief possession by Blick Winkel causes him to lose his memory. After escaping [=LeMU=], he joins You'haru in the "Third Eye Project", a plan to save Takeshi and Coco. During the time between the two incidents, Kaburaki graduates from school and joins Leiblich, like You'haru.

The Kid from the 2034 incident, and the game's other viewpoint character. He is the twin brother of Sara, and the son of Takeshi and Tsugumi, and a Curé-Human hybrid. Like Sara, he was placed in an orphanage by Tsugumi in order to hide the two of them from Leiblich. Despite that, they were both found and captured by Leiblich, who left him with a foster family and kept surveillance on him.

* BigBrotherInstinct: He's very protective towards [[spoiler:Sara, although it takes him a while to realise that it's his brotherly feelings resurfacing.]]
* {{Determinator}}: Doesn't give up no matter what. [[spoiler:Especially visible when he keeps resuscitating Sara, even though everyone else thinks she's already dead, and actually manages to save her.]]

* ISeeDeadPeople: [[spoiler:Kind of - he can see Coco, but only due to her own ability.]]

* SuperNotDrowningSkills: [[spoiler:He survives skin-diving 300 feet into the ocean. He also manages to swim up 100 feet in Sara's Route ''with a broken arm'' and still makes it up alive.]]
* SuperStrength: [[spoiler:Hokuto has at least enough strength to lift a rock weighing about as much as Coco, sprint towards a fence and leap over it without effort. He can also hold his breath long enough to descend 119 meters then swim across the ocean floor.]]
* TomatoInTheMirror: [[spoiler:In the final route, the revelation of the game's central twist(s) begins when the Kid, with supernatural memories from previous routes, looks in a mirror and sees his own golden-blond face—a face completely different to the brown-blond Kid that appeared in Takeshi's [=PoV=].
