History Characters / RascalDoesNotDreamOfBunnyGirlSenpai

* AbusiveParents: Poor Mai. Her mom had no qualms about using her very young daughter for money.

* BrainyBrunette: She's a beautiful brunette, and is also very intelligent, strong-willed and it's implied she also gets very good grades at school. She also decides to study at university, despite already working as an actress.
** She's definitely shown to be talented at several other things as well, such as singing and cooking.

* MyGirlIsNotASlut: While she may be teasing and flirty towards her boyfriend Sakuta, she never had a boyfriend - neither kissed a boy - before him, either. Though, she does tease him about the roles she's played as an actress, but again, that's just [[TheTease Mai being Mai]] [[SingleTargetSexuality towards her beloved one]]...

* ReluctantFanserviceGirl: She felt very uncomfortable about showing her body posing in a swimsuit. While not opposed to guys finding her attractive, it's still pretty clear she's not a showoff.

* FourTemperamentEnsemble:
** Sakuta: phlegmatic[[note]]with some minor melancholic traits[[/note]] (snarky, introverted, kind, caring and quiet).
** Mai: eclectic (kind, ambiverted, caring, playful, teasing, a bit pessimistic at times and while she's serious and strong-willed she's also emotional).

* FourTemperamentEnsemble: An overall Phlegmatic individual, as he's very kind, compassionate, helpful and pretty quiet, yet has also a sarcastic and playful streak; he can tend slightly towards Melancholic sometimes, given the events of the story.

* FourTemperamentEnsemble: An overall well-balanced Eclectic. Has both extroverted and introverted traits, is kind, caring, selfless, but also rather methodical, and used to be somewhat cynical because of her past and what happened to her. That said, she also has become more cheerful and playful, and has a genuine witty and teasing streak.

* TheGadfly: {{Subverted}}: She loves teasing Sakuta (as he does as well), but she can just as easily fail at acting {{tsundere}} and is even somewhat shy around the guy's jokes.

* SugarAndIcePersonality: AvertedTrope overall in her interactions with others, but with Sakuta it's an interesting {{subversion}}. It's not that she's cold or aloof, it's just that she teases him and sometimes acts coquettish, though at the end of the day she's sweet and affectionate towards him, especially as they go on.

An isolated and calm young man who became interested in cases of "Adolescence Syndrome" after his sister started getting injuries and cuts on her body as a result of cyberbullying. A real DeadpanSnarker, he has a habit of being blunt and doesn't seem to care if others look down on him for being outspoken or disruptive, but is a NiceGuy nonetheless. He has a good heart, is selfless and wants to help others, and besides Mai he usually hangs around with his best friends Yuuma Kunimi and Rio Futaba.\\

-->[[spoiler:'''Future Sakuta''': Mai-san, you intended on saving me from the beginning?]]
-->[[spoiler:'''Mai''': Didn't I tell you before? I love you way more than you think.]]

* TooGoodForThisSinfulEarth: [[spoiler:Played straight at firts, as she's one of the kindest, most honorable and most selfless characters in the series, and sacrifices herself to save Sakuta and become Shoko's heart donor. {{Subverted}} then, as Sakuta gets back in time to save her]].

* IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy: To end the [[GroundhogDayLoop time-loop]], she convinces Sakuta to go along with her scheme to pretend they're a couple, but she ends up developing romatic feelings for him after, especially after he beats up Yosuke for spreading the rumor Tomoe was a slut. Their supposed break up ends up creating another time loop, and after conversing with Rio, Sakuta confronts Tomoe and tells her that despite how she feels about him, he's still in love with Mai, and thus can't reciprocate her feelings, which causes Tomoe to break down crying. After Tomoe caues them to go back about a month in time, to when Tomoe asked Sakuta to be her fake boyfriend, they patch things up and Tomoe accepts just being his friend.

* IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy: She has crush on Yuuma, and her unresolved feelings [[CloneAngst cause her personality to split apart]] as [[IntelligenceEqualsIsolation the meek, unsociable nerd]] who's [[DCupDistress embarrased of her body]], and one who is more accepting of her looks. When the two personalities talk to each other, the more meek on disapears and the one who accepts her body go the fireworks displayw with Sakuta and Yuuma, and during the show, Rio decides not to swoop in as a rebound love, and advices Yuuma to make up with his girlfriend, and after shedding a tear, decides to enjoy the show and move on.

* BookDumb: While his grades are not necessarily bad overall, he's shown to fail a test. Also the fact that Mai helps him studying implies he's not a particularly brilliant student and that his grades are likely average. As smart as he is, he could do better academically.

* TheReliableOne: Zigzagged. Sakuta is a genuinely good guy who is dedicated to helping others affected by Adolescence Syndrome and comes up with clever ways of doing so. That said, he also experiences the bad end of this trope as he experiences some pretty dark things [[spoiler: like an alternate timeline where Mai dies]] and has to deal with a lot for his age like taking care of his traumatized sister.

* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: She's brash, loud, overly concerned with personal social status, and constantly insults Sakuta because she's unable to understand how her boyfriend's best is an unpopular guy with a reputation as a delinquent. That said, in the end, she helps Sakuta, showing him what Rio did with her Twitter account, and they end up being on better terms with each other. She also helps him with Nodoka's arc by telling him what it is like to be a girl living in the shadow of her older sister.

* ReluctantFanserviceGirl: She felt very uncomfortable about showing her body posing in a swimsuit.

* IconicOutfit: The playboy bunny costume she's seen wearing in the first episode, and only once afterwards, is still associated with her because Sakuta brings it up (and it is part of the title).

* AloofDarkHairedGirl: PlayedWith. She has long dark hair and, [[DownplayedTrope while not aloof by nature, she's still composed, serious and polite]], and a very attractive, quite tall girl. She has some shades of being aloof early on, losing trust in people as she became invisible, and therefore warning Sakuta not to get involved into her personal affairs; [[SubvertedTrope however, this changes very soon as she starts having faith into the boy, and she turns out to be a very friendly, approachable person, and also quite witty]].

* MyGirlIsNotASlut: While she may be teasing and flirty, she never had a boyfriend before Sakuta, and neither kissed a boy before him either. Though, she does tease him about the roles she's played as an actress, but again, that's just [[TheTease Mai being Mai]] towards her beloved one...

* SingleTargetSexuality: DownplayedTrope. She has said she's definitely not opposed to guys finding her sexy, but her first and only boyfriend ever is Sakuta, and she never kissed anyone before him.

* BitchInSheepsClothing: Heavily {{downplayed}}. She's a genuinely nice person overall, but her role as Laplace's demon implies her feelings for Sakuta are rather selfish and that she would do anything to make him change his mind about her and make him feel something for her. Still, Sakuta has feelings only for Mai.

* ThirdWheel: Rio's Adolescence Syndrome is triggered on her insecurity of her two best friends getting girlfriends of their own, leaving her feeling isolated. However, it's shown that, while they are not romantically involved with her, they definitely treasure her as a friend.

* AloofDarkHairedGirl: Heavily {{downplayed}}; she's polite, composed, elegant and beautiful, with black hair and blue eyes, but she's of average height and not aloof. She also becomes more outgoing as an adult, making this pretty much an aversion.

* IfYouEverDoAnythingToHurtHer: If Sakuta ever makes Mai cry, Nodoka would be mad, as she threats him in TheMovie. [[spoiler: Mai ''does'' cry (as she already has the goal to sacrifice herself to save Sakuta in her mind), and then, after she ''did'' sacrifice herself, Nodoka yells at Sakuta desperately asking him why he ''didn't'' protect her]].

* MsFanservice: DownplayedTrope. Despite its name, the series isn't exactly centered on {{fanservice}}, but she still has a few moments, the "bunny girl" scene being one of them. The other one is the past scene where she was forced by her mother to pose in a two-piece swimsuit: yes, she was a very young girl, about 15, but that didn't make her any less attractive...

* HasAType: Seems to be his case. The fact his LoveInterest was (older) once Shoko, and later Mai, heavily suggests that he's fond of slightly older [[BeautyEqualsGoodness inside-out beauties]] [[YamatoNadeshiko with a graceful and gentle disposition yet a strong personality]], possibly with blue eyes and dark hair. Given his kindness, it's not surprising he's interested in girls who are kind as well.

He gets his sole central focus on ninth volume "''Randoseru Girl''" [[spoiler: when he develops his own Adolescence Syndrome]].

She is the eponymous and focal character in the first volume "''Bunny Girl Senpai''".

She is the focal character in second volume "''Petit Devil Kouhai''".

She is the central focus of third volume "''Logical Witch''".

Kaede is the focus on fifth volume "''House-sitting Little Sister''" and again in eighth volume "''Sister On An Outing''".

She is the central character in sixth and seventh volumes "''Dreaming Girl''" and "''Girl Experiencing Her First Love''".

She is the focus of fourth volume "''Siscon Idol''".

The leader of Nodoka's the idol group Sweet Bullet.\\

She is the focus of tenth volume "''Lost Singer''".

** Mai: eclectic(kind, ambiverted, caring, playful, teasing, a bit pessimistic at times and while she's serious and strong-willed she's also emotional).

* CloningBlues: Rio's Adolescence Syndrome manifests in the form of a second version of herself, [[SheCleansUpNicely identifiable by her hair being in a ponytail and using contacts instead of glasses.]] Barring looks, both act enough like the Rio that Sakuta has been friends with to the point where he cannot call either of them as a fake, although the one with glasses is very melancholic and consistently refers to the one with contacts as a "fake", when she herself is referred to as "my other self".
** [[spoiler:Interactions with both versions of Rio piece together that the separation was likely caused by contradictory internal desires, likely about the attention she receives and how she actually goes about it. This self-hatred within her is sort of pacified when Sakuta reaffirms her friendships with him and Yuuma and allowing her to at least bear with it, causing both Rios to merge. Interestingly enough, the supposed "real" Rio whose appearance closely mirrored her original look is the one that ends up disappearing when the merge happens.]]
