* UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: Much like with the July [=20XX=] students, take your pick of Nanase, Sakura and Honoka:
** Through various notes found in the game demo remarking on a landslide that destroyed the school in the Past, it is implied that Honoka unintentionally brought at least some of the other girls to a very untimely demise with her Test of Courage.
** It is implied that Sakura telling Honoka of the Art Prep Room is what sets off the chain of events that lead to the girls' untimely demises during the Test of Courage.
** Nanase's strolls in the forest are implied to have led something to happen with her in spite of Sakura's eventual warning; the length of time between her lashing out at Shino and the landslide striking is either a complete coincidence of the two events, or the result of supernatural causes, thereby making her a puppet to the actual cause of the landslide.

* AndIMustScream: [[spoiler: Her ultimate fate: she falls into a persistent vegetative state as a result of overworking herself, and is fully aware but unable to communicate or interact with the outside world. What makes it even worse is that this [[YankTheDogsChain happened just after]] she was able to create a seed that could finally replace the fallen and corrupted trees in Aogami Forest and stop the constant landslides that took the lives of her friends.]]

* SurvivorGuilt: It's clearly shown in Chapter 21 that being one of the two survivors of the landslide has devastated her emotionally, with her completely giving up on her miko duties in favour of becoming an environmental scientist and regularly coming to the now likely deserted Aogami Shrine to let out her emotions.
* UnreliableExpositor: In Episode 5, she acts as if she's heard the rumour of the Art Prep Room ghost for the first time when in conversation with Yae. However, Honoka tells Nanase in that same episode that she learnt about the Art Room Prep school from ''Sakura'', showing that Sakura had some knowledge of it already. In Chapter 6, though, Sakura queries that Honoka told Yae, and when questioned in return, reveals that she's the source of the information, but had asked Honoka to keep it a secret.

* AndIMustScream: Her ultimate fate: she falls into a persistent vegetative state as a result of overworking herself, and is fully aware but unable to communicate or interact with the outside world. What makes it even worse is that this [[YankTheDogsChain happened just after]] she was able to create a seed that could finally replace the fallen and corrupted trees in Aogami Forest and stop the constant landslides that took the lives of her friends.

* DoomedByCanon: Considering [[OurGhostsAreDifferent her]] [[{{Yandere}} role]] in the demo and promotional material, it’s clear that she won’t last for long during the Retro episodes. And thus, she discovers she was DeadAllAlong by the landslide that killed her and most of the girls except Sakura and the Transfer Student.

** A more nuanced one, but in Episode 6, she works herself up into anger through perceiving Yae as a threat towards her trying to win over the Transfer Student, which in turn causes a glitch as she [[ImpliedDeathThreat vocally ruminates of]] [[RemovingTheRival "making the other girls go away".]]

* DoomedByCanon: Considering [[OurGhostsAreDifferent her]] [[{{Yandere}} role]] in the demo and promotional material, it’s clear that she won’t last for long during the Retro episodes. The main question is what exactly causes her demise...

* SoleSurvivor: Her and the Transfer Student are implied to have been the only ones to survive the landslide that decimated Aogami High in 19XX. And atleast with Sakura herself, this is outright confirmed.

* IJustWantToHaveFriends: She begins Chapter 6 pessimistic and feeling there's nothing special about herself, lamenting that she won't be able to easily make friends. Then she sees the NewTransferStudent, and resolves to change herself, approaching them; this leads to at least Yae and Sakura also becoming her friends. This appears to reflect her drive to approach the Transfer Student in the [=3D=] Episodes, leading to her becoming friends with Shiina. She is that eager to reach this goal that she energetically approaches Kana, Kanade, Hotaru, Mitsuki and Yuki towards the end of Chapter 20, and enters such a blissful state that she's absolutely unaware of the reality that she's really alone...

* SoleSurvivor: Her and the Transfer Student are implied to have been the only ones to survive the landslide that decimated Aogami High in 19XX.

* EyesAlwaysShut: At first glance in Chapter 9; the thumbnail for Chapter 10 shows her eyes open and [[EmptyEyes lacking Mel's spark]].

!!Unnamed Reporter
* AgentScully: Note 1 makes it clear that they don't believe in the supernatural phenomena occurring in Aogami until after they start investigating. Note 7 suggests, among other dark implications, they're SkepticNoLonger.
* AmbiguousGender: As they've not actually been seen, it is unknown whether they are male or female.
* ApocalypticLog: As the game progresses, the notes they've left go from begrudgingly accepting their task to investigate the students' disappearances, to feel like they're BeingWatched, to incomprehensible denial and a cryptic remark about the God of Aogami.
* BeCarefulWhatYouSay: Note 1 sees them state that they "wish for once that the people who made [the] decisions were the ones actually investigating [the] damn fairy tales". Come Note 4 onwards...
* BeingWatched: Notes 4 and 5.
* GoMadFromTheRevelation: ImpliedTrope. After a couple of notes in which they remark the sense of BeingWatched, Note 6 takes a sharp swerve as they seem to realise something terrible, and a rambling, cryptic final note about the God of Aogami.
* LaughingMad: Note 7 ends on this after they tell the reader to not defy the God of Aogami or the spirit.
* RapidFireNo: Note 6.
* SanitySlippage: Heavily ImpliedTrope. After Note 5, it is very clear that they discovered something that they shouldn't have, leading to the sheer shift in tone and content in the final two notes as detailed above.
* SirNotAppearingInThisTrailer: Game, for that matter. All that's known of them is learnt through the notes scattered across the two time periods.
* UncertainDoom: It is indicated in Notes 4-7 that they ran afoul of Shino, the God of Aogami, or a child in the forest, and that their fate wasn't a particularly pleasant one from the sheer and sudden declination of their mental state if their notes are anything to go by.

* JapanesePronouns: "Watashi" as opposed to her actress' "boku", since she is implied to be the spirit of Inari.

* IJustWantToHaveFriends: She begins Chapter 6 pessimistic and feeling there's nothing special about herself, lamenting that she won't be able to easily make friends. Then she sees the NewTransferStudent, and resolves to change herself, approaching them; this leads to at least Yae and Sakura also becoming her friends. This appears to reflect her drive to approach the Transfer Student in the [=3D=] Episodes, leading to her becoming friends with Shiina.

* DeadAllAlong: Heavily implied in Chapter 16 from the torn newspaper on the floor.

** It is not yet made clear just why the key visual animatic or Episode 3 has her appear in the [=20XX=] Aogami High School Uniform. She is seen in the uniform again in Chapter 14, in the yearbook photos, and then again in Chapters 15 and 16 properly, only for the latter chapter to do away with that the moment she leaves the train.
** While the other ten girls established pre-Chapter 6 have a strange circumstance surrounding them with regard to the presence of TheFaceless deskmates in the game demo, this Shino is a big oddity in of herself as she's with the other girls in the SurpriseCreepy moment, joining in with the synchronised head-turning, she's also sharing a desk with one of these strange entities. As she or something is in full control of her body/spirit's faculties, it's hard to tell how much of her part here is DeadGuyPuppet and PeoplePuppets like the rest.

** As of the developments of Chapters 12 and 14, is she really {{Yandere}} for the Transfer Student of [=20XX=], or is she wanting to undergo a SplitPersonalityMerge with the Transfer Student? In turn, what then does that mean of her characterisation and circumstances in the [=3D=] series in contrast to her circumstances and desire to make friends in the manga? As of Chapter 16, it appears to be a SplitPersonalityMerge, however...
** Was this version of Shino truly a split personality of the Transfer Student version, or, judging by her reactions and tone of voice in Chapter 16, actually the God of Aogami taking on AFormYouAreComfortableWith, using Shino's visage to help bring her back to reality, with the eye color difference being a way to tell the two apart?

--> '''Shino:''' It's time to face the truth.
* CharacterNarrator: She seems to be an offscreen narrator in the animated manga, at least until the end of Chapter 3, when she finally appears in person to the Present Transfer Student. Chapter 6 makes this very clear, with the focus on her instead of the Past Transfer Student's perspective.
* EmptyEyes: Has these with chilling effect in Chapters 2 and 4. Her later appearances in [=20XX=] retain these.

* HeyYou: Throughout the animated manga, the ghost Shino only ever refers to the Present Transfer Student as "''Tenkousei''", or "Transfer Student". It's sort of a JustifiedTrope due to the Transfer Student's nameless nature, but still comes across as rather uncaring despite her {{Yandere}}-esque behavior.
* IJustWantToBeLoved: Implied during the mid-progression cutscene in the second run of the game demo, where she addresses the Transfer Student in a pained and distraught tone, wanting to be accepted by them. Considering the anachronistic nature of the story and the implications raised in Chapters 12 and 14-16, it is inferred to be either a non-romantic love or a form of self-love.

* InvisibleToNormals: Shino's appearances relative to the point of view of the [=20XX=] Transfer Student in Chapters 2 and 3 evoke this. Even if Inari, Hanabi, Touka, Suzune and Saki are oblivious to her, Shino ''wants'' the Transfer Student to know she's there.

* TheUnSmile: Whenever she smiles in Chapters 3 and 4, it is neither positive or pleasant. She does again at the end of Chapter 8.

* VocalDissonance: There are a few moments in the game demo's three runs, and one in Chapter 5, in which she is not making sadistic musings or being scorned, nebulous in her intentions, or cold when Present Transfer Student escapes, where she sounds closer to her soft-spoken, ShrinkingViolet self from the 3D episodes.
* {{Yandere}}: She is ''very'' insistent of the Present Transfer Student returning home/back with her in the game and animated manga, ignoring or reacting poorly to any pleas or refusals. She caps her speech at the end of Chapter 4 with VoiceChangeSurprise, and in Chapter 5, when the Transfer Student tells her that she won't go with Shino unless she tells her what's going on, she has a FreakOut as noted above.

* TheReveal: Chapter 15 shows the [=20XX=] Transfer Student's face in full for the first time, which is lampshaded by Mizuta and Akane confused at seeing the two Misoras.

* ArmorPiercingResponse: In Chapter 15, after being blamed for doing something to Yuka off-screen in previous chapters, and after Mizuta and Akane are simultaneously stunned and in pain by what they're seeing, Shino responds to the [=20XX=] Transfer Student bluntly, dismissing the question, bringing about TheReveal that they are nearly the same entity physically. She doesn't act nebulous or hostile, she speaks to them in a straight forward tone for the first time, making the Transfer Student, and the audience, realise the reality of things.

** Saya's entire appearance in Chapter 13, where she's banging on the window outside of the train to get the attention of the Transfer Student, Mizuta and Akane, simply stating "Let's Play".

** In Chapter 11, is she a puppet of Shino, or a victim of GrandTheftMe by Shino? Chapter 12 instead implies she may be a puppet of whatever caused Nanase (and potentially even Shino) to undergo her drastic personality shift, as even with thinking that the Transfer Student took Yuka away, she was uncharacteristically hostile as pointed out by Mizuta.

* RippleEffectProofMemory: Turns out to remember Yuka during Chapter 12 despite her seemingly being [[RetGone wiped from existence]]. Unlike with Mizuta below, this is not a good thing, as she blames the Transfer Student for Yuka's vanishing.

* BlankStare: After the Transfer Student leads Mizuta past Kaoru's non-stop recital about the shrine, Kaoru adopts this, appearing to be following their path of motion...

* TheFaceless: When she's first seen in Chapter 13. Mizuta is unnerved by this.

* UnusuallyUninterestingSight: DownplayedTrope and PlayedStraight at once. When the Transfer Student and Mizuta happen upon her on the train, the former treats Kaoru as this, seemingly just done with the oddities being thrown at her left, right and centre since she woke up on the train in Chapter 8, whereas Mizuta has taken notice of Kaoru's BrokenRecord nature and appears to be concerned about it.

* CreepyChild: While [[DownplayedTrope the child part is quite subjective due to her being in high school]], she does exhibit behavior usually associated with this trope at the end of Chapter 13, cheerfully asking the Transfer Student, Akane, and Mizuta to play with her... while sporting EmptyEyes and with the window separating them being adorned with bloody handprints.

* PercussiveTherapy: She slams her hands against the train window to get the attention of the Transfer Student, Mizuta and Akane at the end of Chapter 13.

* SurpriseCreepy: Twice in Chapter 13, when she just appears out of nowhere, appearing to be focusing on the Transfer Student and/or Mizuta...

* ActorAllusion: The first time we see Mari in Chapter 17, she is painting in the Art Prep Room of [=19XX=] Aogami. Her actress Houshou Marine is an experienced artist.
* CanonCharacterAllAlong: It's heavily implied that she is the creator of the cursed painting in the Art Prep room.
* CouldntFindAPen: Her "magnum opus" is painted exclusively with her own blood.

* SuperOCD: PlayedForHorror. She apparently couldn't stop painting on the art room, to the point of ''using her own blood'' to paint to the point of literally bleeding herself dry. And the result being her found dead by blood loss and her painting that was found in the art room.

She is seen in the uniform again in Chapter 14, in the yearbook photos, and then again in Chapters 15 and 16 properly, only for the latter chapter to do away with that the moment she leaves the train.

* AgentScully: Inari and Suzune are the only ones to take stock in the rumor.
** Hanabi doesn't trust the rumor and wants to investigate it in her conversation with Saki (whom expresses interest and desire to help investigate it) in Episode 3. The local library had nothing about it or related to it, but she says her grandpa could know something. Even in Chapter 2, she tries to downplay it when Inari has her FreakOut.
** Touka considers the rumor that Inari's concerned about to be nonsense and has no qualms about speaking about it ''to the specific subject of said rumor'' in both Episode 3 and Chapter 3.

* ActorAllusion: Inari is a type of {{Kitsune}}, which is Fubuki' species.
