* {{Otaku}}: Tomoya is a big one, and isn't ashamed of it either. He gets rather excited talking to Megumi about games, even though he claims he's not romantically interested in any girl aside from ones in video games. And it was his blog that caused Utaha's novel to become a hit with her publisher, allowing her to continue making a living from writing.

* ThisLoserIsYou: He starts the series without many useful abilities and fully willing to pile on requests to his more talented circle members. He gradually grows into someone who respects their abilities and the actual stresses of being a creator, as well as picking more abilities of his own

* TheLancer: Eventually evolves into Tomoya's second by contrasting his exuberance and enthusiasm with a relatively down-to-earth approach. She initially doesn't have an explicit role in the role other than being the model for the main heroine but grows to be more helpful as the series goes in. [[spoiler: Around halfway through the series, she ends up being the only one of the initial three heroines who remains in the circle]].
* LeaningOnTheFourthWall: Because the main heroine of the game her circle is producing is basically her, the boundary between "heroine of the light novel" and "heroine of the game" can be blurry. She can invoke this when she needs to make a point Tomoya-the-2D-Girl-Lover will definitely hear [[spoiler: such as scolding him for getting jealous at her cousin, when his own is far more affectionate.]]

* AdaptationDyeJob: Her eyes are brown in the light novel, and their color was changed to scarlet red in the anime adaptation.



* BigBreastPride: She's a believer in BuxomBeautyStandard and is proud of her own buxom figure, and often mocks and teases [[ACupAngst Eriri]] for being flat.



* BuxomBeautyStandard: She has a large bust, which gets a lot of MaleGaze shots and even Tomoya seems to stare at her breasts at times, like when she used them as a VictoriasSecretCompartment, and Eriri is very envious of her buxom figure.
* BrainyBrunette: A brunette with long dark hair, she's known to be one of the smartest students in school.
* BrutalHonesty: She's brutally blunt and isn't afraid to show, both professionally (when she doesn't sugarcoat her criticism of Tomoya's proposals) and personally by her habit of pointing out people's flaws and shortcomings.



* ClingyJealousGirl: Utaha gets pretty annoyed when someone else gets too close to Tomoya, especially Eriri.

* FirstKiss: [[spoiler:Steals Tomoya's HeIsNotMyBoyfriend: When Sonoko teases her about her growing feelings about Tomoya, Utaha vehemently denies having any.
* MasterOfTheMixedMessage: She's often switching from either sincerely flirting with Tomoya or just acting like TheTease.
* MsFanservice: She's often seen

* NotSoStoic: She's known to be aloof, cold and mild-mannered and most people find her an unapproachable person. But she's actually a ClosetOtaku: who gets rather passionate about writting, and can become fairly emotional when she's jealous.



* SignatureHeadgear: She has a white hairband that she's almost always wearing.



* BuxomIsBetter: [[TheGadfly Utaha]] {{invoke|dTrope}}s this trope towards [[ACupAngst Eriri]] using Izumi as an example. And Izumi certainly presses her chest against Tomoya rather hard when hugging him.

What The Hell Hero applies when the hero gets called out for acting in a morally questionable or borderline villainous manner, not for acting rashly or like a jerk.


* WhatTheHellHero: Does this to Tomoya at the end of episode 6 in season 2 when she decides to go home instead of hang out with them after the latest Comiket. [[spoiler:During this episode, Tomoya decided on a few things on his own without telling Megumi any of it, such as rushing to visit Eriri after she got sick, and then missing the deadline to send in their game to a publisher so they'd have a professional game to sell. This after Megumi told him several times to let her know whatever happens, and would also do her best to support him.]]



* WhatTheHellHero: Tomoya berates her for [[spoiler:abandoning him when they were younger and started putting up a facade to hide the fact that she's an Otaku to keep appearances. Even when she tells him that she's dedicated her efforts to atone for this and get back at the people that forced her to separate from Tomoya, he admonishes the fact that she's, at the moment, both completely falling short and trying to abandon ship ''again'']].

* ImageSong: Called M♭ aka ''Magumi Flat'', reflecting Megumi's boring personality. It's sung by Kiyono Yasuno, Megumi's voice actress. It plays on the third episode [[spoiler:after Tomoya gave up on his dream and Megumi appears to cheer him up, while recreating the scene of their first meeting.]]. Season 2 give her two more songs, ''Eternal♭'' and ''Glistering♭'', both of them also performed by Yasuno.
