'''Tropes specific to Female!Aki:'''

'''Tropes Specific to Male!Aki:'''

'''WARNING: all {{spoiler}}s unmarked'''.

* AllGirlsWantBadBoys: She has a crush on Tohma in the beginning of the game, but her attraction to him quickly fades when she gets a good look at his personality close up.

** The girl Aki is not hesitant in killing, as shown when she bluntly murdered either Mr. Sohta or Tohma. If you’re playing as the male though, he will hesitate whenever trying to kill Mr. Sohta, saying that he can't because he's his teacher and it will be wrong if he did such a thing. In fact, the female version of Aki apparently forces Akito to and ends up killing Mr. Sohta anyways, saying that Akito can do it, "Because you are me. Raise that bat high... And crush him!"

* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: She's surprisingly ruthless in her mission to help Misao when the school gets trapped in a nightmarish world, has no compunction when it comes to killing or [[spoiler:leaving others to die as in Yoshino's case]], and is blunt to a fault, but she's compassionate towards those she cares about all the same.

* BitchInSheepsClothing: She defends Misao to the other girls when they make fun of her... but she's also implied to be the one who posted Misao's love poem on the bulletin board for all to see. Also, in the "Truth" ending, when Saotome praised Misao for her looks in the past, Misao believes she doesn't really mean it and just said it out loud to humilliate her. It's implied that Misao assumed the worst of her due to her jealousy over being Tohma's real girlfriend.

%%* TomboyishPonytail

* AllGirlsWantBadBoys: She has a crush on Tohma in the beginning of the game but her attraction to him quickly fades when she gets a good look at his personality close up.

* GoodIsNotNice: Downplayed. On the whole she's benevolent and courageous, but she won't hesitate to be blunt and tell someone if she doesn't care about what they're saying, and if she feels you're hindering her on her mission to help Misao, she'll plainly tell you to get lost and that it's not her concern if your stupidity gets you killed. She also ''giggles'' when she notices that Yoshino was brutally murdered with a chainsaw.

* LetThemDieHappy: Before he reincarnates he reconciles with Misao's spirit, who thanks him for supporting her in their younger years before their estrangement. Even Aki believes it might not have been the real Misao, but Kudoh seems to relax as he dies.

* TheBully: She regularly picks on other students. Her tormenting Misao was even worse since, she took a lewd picture of her to use as blackmail and had Misao locked in a stall with a male student, leading to her being raped.

* AlasPoorVillain: In the "Truth" Ending, If Aki decides to visit his world, he reveals that he became who he is because of the bullying he experienced when he was a boy. Aki expresses sympathy for him.

* {{Fetish}}: Hands. When Ayaka finds Misao's severed hands in Sohta's desk, he comes along and Ayaka learns that Sohta apparently does things with the hands. When he was young, the first thing he liked about his First Love, Takano, was her hands.
* FreudianExcuse: As a child, he was bullied by his classmates for being plain and ordinary, turned down by his FirstLove and Only Friend, who actually just pitied him. So he goes through a face surgery as an adult so he would be loved and accepted, only to believe that people only love him for his looks.

* WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds: After being bullied for his ugliness as a kid, and having no genuine friends, he became the unstable killer he is in game.

* CuteClumsyGirl
* EeriePaleSkinnedBrunette

* TomboyishPonytail

* ContinuityNod: In version 3.0, if you name her Maria, she tells you that she doesn't like the name, but will use it anyway. This implies that she is an older Aya, or possibly even the clone seen during the true end of ''VideoGame/MadFather''.
** In the Definitive Edition, you can no longer name her Aya; she will say that "only Father is allowed to call her that name."

* DarkSkinnedBlonde: Probably part of what makes him so attractive to girls.
