History Characters / SpiritHunterNG

* CreepyBallet: The [[spoiler: teenaged girl]] who would become the Screaming Author was once a ballet dancer. The spirit wears a mangled [[EtherealWhiteDress ballet costume]] when confronted.

* EurekaMoment: In ''Death Mark II's'' Extra Chapter, Kaoru spends the plot unsure of what theme to go for in regards to her occult idol persona. She gets the idea for "Momo Kurusu", a doll-themed idol, upon hearing Kazuo mention his doll-making tools, asking to see more, and then seeing the picture of Mary Kujou, the enigmatic yet adorable ElegantGothicLolita doll residing in the mansion.

* ElegantGothicLolita: Being an occult idol, she dresses in the gothic lolita style that's only just coming into fashion during [[TheNineties the time period]] of the story. It's not as extravagant as some examples - a black puffy dress and beret with dark green bows - but it still makes her stand out from the crowd.

* ElmuhFuddSyndwome: Her name is actually Kagura, but since she's a little kid, she pronounces it wrong.

* TheLastOfTheseIsNotLikeTheOthers: It's not {{humanoid|abomination}} or even {{animalistic|abomination}} like the rest of the spirits, and it comprises of multiple people in one body as opposed to a singular entity. It isn't female (or, at least, it isn't ''solely'' female) like the other spirits. Finally, it's the only spirit that [[spoiler:can't be pacified and has to be destroyed]]. All in all, it's an obvious outlier that makes its bizarre, inhuman appearance stand out all the more.

* CatchPhrase: Regardless of the time of day, she always greets others with "Good morning!", which is due to her hectic schedule as an idol.

* EleventhHourSuperpower: [[spoiler: With Kakuya beating down the proverbial door, Akira has a leap of intuition. Evidence had strongly implied that his mother had had an affair with Yakumo Miroku, the author who had been infusing dolls with energy and using those in the Nagoshi no Gi rite to bind/pacify Kakuya before losing his powers and being forced to alter the ritual to use corpses instead. Recalling a Bloodmetry memory where Yakumo had mentioned using his left hand to infuse the dolls in the past and that his right had had a different power, Akira decides to try using his own left hand (rather than the right one used for Bloodmetry to perform the Nagoshi no Gi) ritual. It works]].

* FakeMemories: [[spoiler:Since she wants Akira to love only her, she uses her power to try and wipe his memory of his friends and loved ones]].

* MemoryManipulation: [[spoiler:Since she wants Akira to love only her, she uses her power to try and wipe his memory of his friends and loved ones]].

* BlessedWithSuck: [[spoiler:In the Bad End, due to the repeated trauma he's suffered due to seeing his friends die, his [[TraumaInducedSuperpower Bloodmetry]] has reacted by becoming stronger and stronger until it's working beyond his control, reading his ''own'' blood and forcing him to relive the hellish images he's seen in a nightmare loop. The physical effects are slowly killing him, but the helping hand that saves him leads to something even more fearful]].

* EleventhHourSuperpower: [[spoiler: With Kakuya beating down the proverbial door, Akira has a leap of intuition. Evidence had strongly implied that his mother had had an affair with Yakumo Miroku, the author who had been infusing dolls with energy and using those in the Nagoshi no Gi rite to bind/pacify Kakuya before losing his powers and being forced to alter the ritual to use corpses instead.

It works.

* TraumaticSuperpowerAwakening: He already had a sixth sense that helped him win his underground boxing matches, but being thrusted into Kakuya's game granted him the ability to perform {{Psychometry}} with blood. If [[spoiler:Kaoru and Seiji both die]], his sixth sense gets even stronger and lets him catch glimpses of [[spoiler:Rosé's true form]], allowing you to select a secret dialogue choice when [[spoiler:she asks him how she looks after they both pacify The Screaming Author.]]

* ThreeAmigos: This dynamic forms between Akira, Seiji, and Kaoru, once the latter becomes more acquainted with the first two. Akira is the CoolLoser protagonist, Seiji is his skeptical but loyal ChildhoodFriend, and Kaoru is a bubbly idol who loves the supernatural and gets subtle ShipTease with Akira.

* KansaiRegionalAccent: She has a distinct Kansai accent that she uses to better pressure suspects into confessing. In the English localization, this is shown with her dialogue having more contractions than the norm, and replacing "you" and "your" with "ya" and "yer".
