History Characters / NeoTheWorldEndsWithYou

!!!'''Voiced by:''' Creator/AyaneSakura (Japanese), Erin Yvette (English)

* AmbiguousDisorder: Her lack of social skills, BrutalHonesty, bouts of immaturity, and obsession with ''Elegant Strategy'' hint at her being somewhere on the Autism spectrum.

* AmbiguousDisorder: He may suffer from some kind of social anxiety, which is why he feels more comfortable communicating through text than verbally speaking. [[spoiler:When the player can hear his texts/thoughts out loud during the end portion of the last chapter, he speaks quickly in nervous manner and stutters at times.]]

* {{Bishonen}}: As a Creator/SquareEnix protagonist, it’s to be expected. He’s noted to have a pretty face by the few shopkeepers that end up [[ChickMagnet attracted to him]].

* {{Bishonen}}: Has retained his handsome looks even after three years.

* {{Bishonen}}: A tall pretty boy with legions of screaming fangirls trailing him. With his longer hair, the Bishonen factor seems to have increased since we last saw him in the first game. Fret's a big fan.

* {{Bishonen}}: Quite easy on the eyes.

* {{Bishonen}}: Hasn't changed from the first game.

* TookALevelInKindness: Downplayed. He's still very ambitious and still has mysterious goals of his own, but the fact that he's willing to team up with others is a far cry from the batshit crazy lone wolf he used to be, showing that he's not completely heartless. While he only sticks around with the Wicked Twisters for the first week, he gets along well enough with them as he gives advice on what to do, and he even engages in combat banter with them as well. [[spoiler:During the last week, he [[BigDamnVillains saves Kariya]] from a horde of Plague Noise, and in his own ''unique'' way, he expresses gratitude to Coco for reviving him]].

* CantCatchUp: Pointedly averted. The nature of the team's stats - namely, the fact that stats besides HP only improve by eating meals and not by levelling up - ''seems'' like it would result in this trope for Sho, who leaves the party at the end of Week 1 and doesn't return until Another Day. However, Sho actually has two different sets of base stats: one for when he joins in Week 1 (23 ATK, 61 DEF, and 31 Style) and one for when he joins in Another Day (173, 161, 291). Barring some obscene stat grinding (those are higher figures than [[EleventhHourRanger Neku]]), Minamimoto will be perfectly capable of keeping up with the Wicked Twisters during the post-game. This makes sense story-wise because [[spoiler:the Secret Reports imply that Minamimoto still has some of his Taboo powers [[WillfullyWeak but chooses not to use them when he fights with the Wicked Twisters]], because Shoka says that Minamimoto isn’t any less powerful than Reaper despite being a Player, and because Minamimoto effortlessly erases several Plague Noise in the Final Day’’ meaning Minamimoto’s stats in Another Day may be his real stats.]]

* RippleEffectProofMemory: Maybe. Minamimoto figures out Rindo's Replay rather quickly compared to pretty much every other character, hinting that he keeps some memories from previous timelines, but it's also entirely possible that, as a mathematician, Minamimoto's simply observant and open-minded enough to consider the possibility of time manipulation, especially since Rindo does a pretty poor job at coming up with lies and excuses for future knowledge he logically shouldn't have.

Minamimoto figures out Rindo's Replay rather quickly compared to pretty much every other character, hinting that he keeps some memories from previous timelines, but it's also entirely possible that, as a mathematician, Minamimoto's simply observant and open-minded enough to consider the possibility of time manipulation, especially when Rindo clearly demonstrates knowledge of future events and does a bad job lying about it to his friends.

* CryCute: Even a DeadpanSnarker PerkyGoth like her has her moments of weakness, such as her tearful reaction to [[spoiler: betraying her fellow Shinjuku Reapers in order to join the Wicked Twisters and having to see most of her new/old friends die at multiple points in the story.]]

* NiceHat: Wears one that vaguely resembles a witch's hat.

* LongRangeFighter: The Deep River Societists specialize n long-range psychs and have poor close-range combat skills.

* PragmaticVillainy: [[spoiler:As much as Shoka hates Motoi, she knows that he won't betray Rindo and Kanon on the final day of Week 2. If he does, the Variabeauties and Wicked Twisters will be eliminated, leaving the Purehearts as the Ruinbringers' only opponent in the following week and guaranteeing his erasure.]]

* {{Foreshadowing}}: Swallow is a more important character than they're let on to be, if the fact that Rindo can still text them in the UG is any hint. [[spoiler:Given that they're in fact Shoka, this means that even when all of the other teams are erased, her account still is active, letting Rindo realise that they are a Reaper - before then, he thought they were a Player.]]

* BerserkButton: She has a serious problem with people who aren't honest about themselves, being TheEmpath who can get a natural read on people. It's why she has a huge problem with Fret, who she can tell is only superficially outgoing and friendly.

* [[AmbiguousGender Androgynous:]] As explained by her character designer, Rhyme was intentionally designed to have a gender neutral look, both in the original game and the sequel. The Wicked Twisters show some amused surprise when meeting Beat's ''sister'' for the first time.

* CallBack: The original version of ''Twister'' plays when he shows up for the first time.

** During the same scene, ''It's So Wonderful'', the title song from the original game, plays for the first time.

* ForgivenButNotForgotten: Despite having forgiven her, [[spoiler:Neku, the guy she killed]] hasn't forgotten what sh did. As the person in question puts it:

* CallBack: The original version of "Twister" plays when he shows up for the first time.

** During the same scene, It's So Wonderful, the title song from the original game, plays for the first time.

This is a dossier for the characters from Creator/SquareEnix's ''VideoGame/NEOTheWorldEndsWithYou''. Per the [[Administrivia/HandlingSpoilers wiki's spoiler policies]] all trope names will be visible and there will be plenty of unmarked spoilers. '''Read at your own risk.''' Welcome to their game!

* EsotericHappyEnding: Implied. Although he gets to return to the RG and reunite with his friends, the Secret Reports confirm the gaps left by the three years he was in Shinjuku have been filled by memories of a Neku from a [[AlternateUniverse parallel universe]], meaning he's essentially coming back to someone else's life. On top of that, both his friends and the world around him have continued on with their lives in the time he's been gone, and the official ages indicate he may not even get to ''finish high school.'' None of this is addressed directly, however.

* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: Displays shades of this. He's never heard of Gatto Nero before despite wearing the brand's name on his shoulder, and several conversations seem to show his sprite spacing out while other characters are talking. Justified in that he's spent three years in a ruined city with little social interaction, so it's understandable that he might be slightly out of it.

* EarnYourHappyEnding: To say Neku's been handed a shit hand in life is an understatement, so his happy ending is even more cathartic. He was shot, forced to play a sadistic game for three weeks, shot again, trapped in Shinjuku's UG which has been turned into a desolate EldritchLocation for three years, then forced back into the game before ''finally'' getting a proper second chance at life and being reunited with Shiki and the rest of his friends.

* CallBack: He gives the same introduction to Rindo and Shoka as he did to Neku three years prior.

* VocalDissonance: More apparent now considering his physical form has visibly aged up.

* IWillWaitForYou: In this case, she's been waiting three entire years for Neku to return to the RG.
