* MyGirlBackHome: Chris, her crush from home.

* TheWoobie: Everyone recognizes her as a severely traumatized kid who does not deserve this.

!![[Anime/RebuildOfEvangelion Asuka Langley Shikinami]]
!!!Contrary
-->"I never said I was a nice, trustworthy person."

[[spoiler: The culprit of Week 3 (Case 3).]]

[[quoteleft:150:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/ceetmat.jpg]]

* ForeignCussWord: Half the German she uses in the school.
* IconicItem: The hat Ashley gave her becomes this in probably the most tragic way possible.
* TheTeetotaler: She's well aware of the "drunk German" stereotype, but doesn't drink since she's stuck in the body of a middle-schooler and, more importantly, wants to have complete control over herself at all times. She does eventually try it and immediately decides that beer is disgusting and overrated.
* {{Tsundere}}: Doesn't want to admit that she may be growing feelings for people, and she's terrified of what may happen if she does. [[spoiler:So she decides to kill her closest friend to escape to try and convince herself that she doesn't care.]]

!![[Manga/PokemonAdventures Blue]]
!!!Evolutionary

* LastNameBasis: Even according to the profiles, though the ending narration calls him George.

[[spoiler: The culprit of Week 4 (Case 4).]]

[[quoteleft:150:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/kmilosk.png]]

* TheHedonist: Described as such. She wants to die without regrets, so she'll do whatever she thinks might be fun at the time, without regard for common sense or personal safety.
* OlderThanTheyLook: Unlike with Asuka, there doesn't seem to be a reason she looks like a middle schooler.
* SpookyPhotographs: [[spoiler:Takes a picture of the shadow, which harms it.]]
* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Parfaits, the more extravagant the better. [[spoiler:Her ghost leaves some out for her friends.]]

!![[Manga/JojosBizarreAdventure Dio Brando]]

[[quoteleft:150:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/iclmbgp.png]]

!![[Franchise/HarvestMoon Elise]]

[[spoiler: Made it to the survivor pool.]]

[[quoteleft:150:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/lig9zlh.png]]

* BreakTheHaughty: The entire game is this to her, where she goes from stuck up and pretending she isn't worried down past the DespairEventHorizon and [[spoiler:planning to betray the entire group]], then having regrets and reaching out to the others.
* InferioritySuperiorityComplex: Develops one of these from her breakdown [[spoiler:at Ashley's murder]], trying to reconcile her spoiled selfishness with a situation that's wearing at her from every side. Comes to a head when [[spoiler:her remaining favourite people die and she watches Rick kill himself after confessing to killing them; when she says he should have targeted someone who deserved it, she's actually referring to herself, overcome with guilt at being a mole.]]
* LethalChef: At first, though she regains the memory of learning to cook later on.

* NoblewomansLaugh: She's often prone to an "O~hohohohohohoho!" or two.

[[spoiler: Made it to the survivor pool.]]

[[quoteleft:150:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/76i1453.png]]

* BunnyEarsLawyer: A jovial man who plays with children's toys and wears mascot suits, but still a scarily competent mob boss.
* CollectorOfTheStrange: Giovanni hoards blood samples from the crime scenes.
* OhMyGods: Often invokes legendaries when frustrated. Apparently, "Giratina's waterfalls" is a potent curse.

!!!Vivacious
-->"Nankurunaisa! Whenever I say it, i know we've still got a fightin' chance!"

[[quoteleft:150:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/gngvspt.png]]

* BlackAndWhiteMorality: It takes her a long time to grow out of it, even with the others telling her it's not as simple as judging those who hurt others.
* CantGetAwayWithNuthin: Her mistrust of others after three weeks of terrible murders comes to a head during the fourth trial, [[spoiler:where she chooses not to immediately come forth with evidence she had found while investigating.]] Many of the characters rail against her, and some still hadn't completely forgiven her [[spoiler:by the time of her death, two weeks later.]]
* {{Catchphrase}}: "Nankurunaisa," left untranslated.
* FriendToAllLivingThings: The chickens love her right away and she's very close to all kinds of animals at home.

* TomboyishPonytail: It works with her image as a carefree country idol.

!![[Manga/AttackOnTitan Jean Kirstein]]
!!!Ascendant

[[spoiler: Made it to the survivor pool.]]

[[quoteleft:150:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/q4kxeqv.png]]

* DeadpanSnarker: Almost all the time.
-->"I don't know about you, but if I was gonna plan a murder and arrange it to look like a suicide, I'd pee beforehand."

[[quoteleft:150:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/awaemun.png]]

!![[Manga/TokyoGhoul Ken Kaneki]]

[[spoiler: The victim of Week 1 (Case 1).]]

[[quoteleft:150:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/woubszy.png]]

* AlternateSelf: With no indication that Trustfell runs on [[YearInsideHourOutside jamjar time]] and him being further into the past from Chie, she deduces that Kaneki must be this; his world can't be the same as hers, since it would have gone way OffTheRails without him.
* NonMaliciousMonster: The nicest guy you'll ever meet, even if he has to eat people to live.

!![[VideoGame/FableIII Logan]]
!!!Sovereign
-->"At this point, I'm wondering if logic even has a place here."

[[spoiler: Killed by the shadow during Week 6.]]

[[quoteleft:150:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/r2xrynl.png]]

* BaitAndSwitchTyrant: Seeing as he's not running his country inside of Graceside, he has no reason to act the way he did back in Albion.
* BeingEvilSucks: Wasn't terribly fond of being a fascist, [[spoiler:[[EvilVersusEvil but he thought it was necessary.]]]]
* CoveredWithScars: Thanks to [[spoiler:The Crawler.]]
* TheLeader: Quickly becomes this for the group, despite Rick's objections. Everyone just ignores his apparent fondness for executions.
* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: Experiences this [[spoiler:when Reaver is executed, thanks to his (large) part in revealing him as the first culprit - and because of what will happen to Albion without his industry expertise.]]
* PlatonicLifePartners: Becomes this with Youko, even sharing a bedroom with her.
* WorldOfPun: Hails from this. Consequently loathes them because of this, or so Logan tries to claim. ''[[SuspiciouslySpecificDenial Puns are the lowest form of humour and he is a king.]]''

!![[Manhwa/AreaD Luna]]
!!!Counterbalanced
-->"I can't even imagine what it'd be like to be here without Sol."

[[spoiler: The victim of Week 4 (Case 4).]]

[[spoiler: One of the victims of Week 6 (Case 6).]]

[[quoteleft:150:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/eutthus.png]]

* {{Fanboy}}: He marks out over Dio's name because he recognizes the musicians he's named for.
* UnluckyEverydude: Anything fantastical he's crossed paths with is something he's stumbled into, and he's definitely not prepared for murderschool.

!![[Podcast/TheThrillingAdventureHour Mordecai Benmont Jiminy]]
!!!Universal
-->"And fate's most definitely what brought us here. That and awful luck."

[[spoiler: One of the victims of Week 6 (Case 6).]]

[[quoteleft:150:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/8y9bijc.png]]

* ShipperOnDeck: Kept a shipping chart during the course of the game, and set up a date between Cabanela and Giovanni during the fourth week. He even wrote fanfiction for some of the adult pairings.
* TalkingTheMonsterToDeath: Attempts this [[spoiler:on the shadow creature and Roy Mustang immediately after waking up as a ghost. It doesn't work.]]

!![[WesternAnimation/RickAndMorty Morty Smith]]
!!!Tempered

[[quoteleft:150:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/w66snlv.jpg]]

* TheIngenue: It makes her the MoralityPet for many of the other characters.
* QuestForIdentity: As a part of her character arc.
* SymbolicWings: Which cause many characters to mistake her for an angel.

!![[VideoGame/FableIII Reaver]]
!!!Relentless
-->"Maybe I'm not that altruistic."

[[spoiler: The culprit of Week 1 (Case 1).]]

[[quoteleft:150:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/ypadg5b.png]]

* TheHunterBecomesTheHunted: Because he holds {{Deadly Game}}s back home, [[spoiler:[[GenreSavvy it's one of the reasons why he's so quick to act.]]]]
* LivingOnBorrowedTime: This, combined with LaserGuidedAmnesia, [[spoiler:is the biggest reason as to why he's the first to kill.]]
* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: Refers to people by their proper names only when he's [[{{Understatement}} not happy]] with them.
* SadisticChoice: Reaver made no secret of the fact [[spoiler:when it came time to vote him off that if he died, Albion's six million residents would perish without his skillset. The characters' only other option is dying ''themselves'', and Reaver is convicted.]]

* GraffitiOfTheResistance: Claims he's doing this by... covering over the Conductor's profile to put his name as "Donald Trump."
* VillainousBreakdown: Zigzagged. Bursts into a rant when [[spoiler:he's finally cornered during the sixth trial... before cutting himself off because he "wasn't feeling it".

!![[Manga/AreaD Sol]]
!!!Adversarial

* SkewedPriorities: Among other things, she thinks the main problem in [[WhoWantsToLiveForever eternal life]] would be the cost of public transport adding up.

* TeamMom: Even towards ''Dio.''

!![[VideoGame/TheCatLady Susan Ashworth]]
!!!Adroit
-->"Everyone has ''something'' they'd kill for -- most people, anyway."

[[spoiler: Made it to the survivor pool.]]

[[quoteleft:150:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/mq4gyec.png]]

* BewareTheQuietOnes: In the final trial, [[spoiler:she states that she believes the group is making a mistake, but sees that her argument is futile and decides to just vote for mercy along with them rather than take a stand and die alone. But when he betrays them, she charges and stabs him in the face.]]
* BrokenBird: Cynical, closed off, and with a very messed-up backstory.
* TheCoroner: As the resident nurse, she examined nearly every victim's body.
* TheCynic: Starts the game pessimistic and remains that way even at the very end, when [[spoiler:she and Sol are the only survivors to argue for Kimblee's death when the others start to wonder [[IfYouKillHimYouWillBeJustLikeHim if they should spare him]].]]
* KnightInSourArmor: Set the tone for jaded, mature protagonists.
* TheMedic: Acts as this in addition to her body-examining duties. Sadly, it comes up a lot less often.

!![[ComicBook/{{Nextwave}} Tabitha "Tabby" Smith]]
!!!Dynamic
-->"It's not breaking and entering if you, like, have a key."

[[spoiler: One of the culprits of Week 6 (Case 6).]]

[[quoteleft:150:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/zwbysxa.jpg]]

* NeverLearnedToRead: Not very well, anyway. She always has to ask for help with the voting podium and only remembers how to spell a few names: the shortest ones (plus Logan's, and only because she already knows a Logan).
* PityTheKidnapper: Tries to invoke this by annoying the Conductor at every opportunity.
* RobbingTheDead: Well-known in the school for corpse looting and cleaning out the dead's rooms. [[spoiler:Bakugou realizes that a lot of evidence for the sixth trial must have been lifted from the scene and kept in the culprit's room, triggering Blue and Youko's epiphany that this is very similar to Tabby's behavior.]]
* SociopathicHero: Says "You call the Avengers if you want, like, heroics. You call the Nextwave Squad if you want a job ''done''." It ultimately results in her [[spoiler:committing murder for a shot at trying to kill the shadow monster during her execution]].
* SymbolSwearing: Often, as in canon.

!![[{{VideoGame/Undertale}} Undyne]]
!!!Dauntless
-->"I refuse to believe there's nothing we can't do."

[[spoiler: The culprit of Week 2 (Case 2).]]

[[quoteleft:150:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/viabjxl.png]]

* BoisterousBruiser: Anyone who challenges people to fights over everything because it's fun counts.
* JerkJustifications: [[FantasticRacism Really didn't like humans]] and thought the DeadlyGame was common practice, and wouldn't even listen to anyone saying otherwise, because of what humans have done to her world. [[spoiler:She relaxes and apologizes when it turns out she's from the Pacifist Route.]]

!![[{{WebAnimation/RWBY}} Weiss Schnee]]
!!!Crystalline
-->"A storm is at least something you can rebuild from. This place? Not so much."

[[spoiler: Made it to the survivor pool.]]

[[quoteleft:150:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/6xr9rts.jpg]]

* BitchInSheepsClothing: Deliberately invoked by Tabby, who refers to her as a "crouching tiger, hidden bitch".
* BodyHorror: Being stuck in her human body, unable to transform, becomes increasingly this for her.
* FanNickname: "Bloodhound-chan", thanks to Youko using her heightened sense of smell to [[spoiler:successfully sniff out the culprit in case four, once the characters deduced they had split blueberry perfume on themselves.]]
* InsaneForgiveness: Not out of any sort of goodness, but because of fast-acting apathy. [[spoiler:Exemplified by a conversation with the Conductor after the third trial, who calls her out on this:]]
--> [[spoiler:[[BigBad Conductor]]: "...If I didn't know any better, I would think you were trying to console me."]]
--> [[spoiler:Youko: "...Oh. I guess I am."]]
* TheNoseKnows: Has a fox's sense of smell, and puts it to use during the fourth trial and sixth investigation.
* PlatonicLifePartners: With Logan.
* SecretKeeper: Winds up learning several characters'. Staunchly, stubbornly refuses to give up any of them, [[NoHoldsBarredContest even during trials]].
* TrueNeutral: Owing to her BlueAndOrangeMorality. [[BitchInSheepsClothing She pretends to be nicer.]]
* WhatYouAreInTheDark: Tends towards honesty about what's BeneathTheMask during private conversations, for both herself and the other person.
* YouAreBetterThanYouThinkYouAre: Does this for Logan, often. She's old enough, observant enough, and a good enough judge of character that she can always find a way to make it work, even if it's just baby steps forward.

[[quoteleft:150:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/b1usrjn.png]]
-->"You can call me the Conductor."

* AlternateSelf: Keeps tabs on a lot of his, particularly how and where they died. [[spoiler:This may or may not extend to [[Anime/FullmetalAlchemist the one who spells his name with a Y]], given that Round 2 shows that he's very dead as well and Kimblee may have been in contact with the game master of that round.]]
* AppropriatedAppellation: The Conductor takes on the "Observant" title Bakugou mockingly calls him by. [[spoiler:Subverted later, as it turns out it used to be his title.]]
* BigBad: The immediate threat running the game.
* CrypticallyUnhelpfulAnswer: He's very used to people trying to get answers out of him, so he's usually technically honest but not too helpful.
* FairPlayVillain: Always presents himself as this, anyway.
* GentlemanSnarker: The image he likes to give off.
* {{Hypocrite}}: He talks an awful lot about "equal exchange," but is more than happy to stack the deck in his own favour.
* LackOfEmpathy: Most commonly observed during his letters with the Participants. He outright tells Ashley he's not good at interacting with people or their feelings.
* MathematiciansAnswer: To the frustration of the characters.
* ObstructiveBureaucrat: Gave the characters a suggestion box. The answer received most frequently was "Your request has been denied."
* OrcusOnHisThrone: Leaves enforcing the rules to his associates, most often the thing in the pit, while he sits safely behind the glass. [[spoiler:When Tabby poses a genuine and immediate threat to the shadow, though, he intervenes and kills her with his ChainLightning, and he also faces the survivor pool himself at the end.]]
* PetTheDog: Seen in some of his private conversations the captives, most commonly Ashley. They form a sort of [[FriendlyEnemy odd correspondence]] and he grows to like her. [[spoiler:Too bad it's right before she dies. [[NotSoStoic He doesn't take it too well]].]]
* RichBoredom: There's a definite touch of this in the way he presents himself and his seemingly nigh-unlimited resources. It isn't his ''true'' motivation, but...
* StealthPun: [[spoiler:The true meaning of "Conductor."]]
* YouJustToldMe: Fond of these for getting information out of the captives.
* YouRemindMeOfX: Says many of the captives remind him of former associates.

* TheGenericGuy: Described as looking aggressively plain. Reaver calls her a four out of ten.
* HelpFaceTurn: [[spoiler:Graduated a round and volunteered to help the Conductor. After he used her for a few experiments, she tried to kill him, he killed her in return, and she decided to help the new class.]]
* KindheartedCatLover: According to her profile. [[spoiler:Though she ''did'' win a round.]]
* MagicLibrarian: Only by virtue of [[spoiler:knowing the secrets of the school and being more used to being a ghost. She's average otherwise.]]
* SpellMyNameWithABlank: While she does have a surname, the Conductor has stricken it from the record.

* BadassDriver: He's mentioned repeatedly that he really misses cars and racing. Sadly, the Kingmaker isn't providing a race track any time soon.
* BadassNormal: [[spoiler:His reliance on guns and hacking instead of magic might have put him at a disadvantage when deprived of them, but while everyone else is still dealing with their powers being dampened, he manages to get his guns and phone back and is able to fight with them, even posing a threat to the Kingmaker during his execution.]]
* BigBrotherInstinct: His younger sister's been [[RevengeByProxy hurt because of him]] before, and he's determined to save her when he remembers an enemy had her [[spoiler:and during the "there's a second Vault" motive, which pushes him to kill]].
* TheCracker: His occupation as a vigilante is based in this.
* TheCynic: With lines like "I don't think anyone truly knows anyone here," he's not much of an optimist.
* ForgetsToEat: Work is important, okay?
* NotSoStoic: [[spoiler:Spends his entire trial impassive until Bruce suggests that he might be working with the Kingmaker; Aiden is offended.]]

* CovertPervert: There's some SuspiciouslySpecificDenial in the narration when he's totally not looking for a pair of Mion's panties in her room. Although it's used as a joke at ''Yousuke's'' expense, it makes you wonder.
* TheCynic: To an extent. Holding this type of worldview has put him at odds with more than a few people at different points in time, and even threatened a tenuously budding friendship with Yosuke after the first week.
* DealWithTheDevil: [[spoiler:He's told a couple of people he made a deal similar to this with an entity that "isn't a ghost, but isn't strong enough to be God"... and that that he'd do it again if it meant keeping his sister safe. This is his main motivation for becoming [[TheMole one of the Kingmaker's moles]], since he wanted to find a way to save her from the destruction of their world.]]
* InternalizedCategorism: "Casters" are listed as his first dislike and his occupation.
* OnlyKnownByTheirNickname: Everyone knows him as "Black," but he's mentioned a few times that that (and his sister's name, White) are just nicknames. He's only specifically told Sigrun and Yosuke their real names, [[spoiler:William and Mary]].
* PastimesProvePersonality: He may be a cynic, but he's also a sensitive artist, even if his drawing and sewing actually sucks. Aside from his sheep, which turn out to be... disturbingly realistic.
* PsychicPowers: Usually has these; it's why he works as a Caster back home and why he's never thought about what he wouldn't do if he hadn't had them.
* TerribleArtist: When he tries to draw people, anyway.

* MagicPants: One of his regains.

* TheMedic: Called in to examine the bodies and patch up injuries on the living.
* NotSoAboveItAll: Draws a vulgar meme for the Kingmaker-Making Contest. Everyone blames Yousuke and is shocked to find out that it's Bruce.
* PromotedToPlayable: Another timeline's version of him was mentioned in Round 1, with a brief cameo as a drawing in Dio's journal courtesy of Tabby.
* RebelLeader: He wouldn't call himself one, preferring Sigrun in the role, but he's the one who organizes meetings and tries to keep things hopeful. [[spoiler:In the end, he starts up a team to prevent more murdergames.]]

* BigEater: Even though she looks like a noodle.
* FailureKnight: Towards her sister Noel, whom she doesn't even remember meeting, because if she couldn't save her people, she wants to at least save her only family.
* INeedAFreakingDrink: Since [[DrunkOnMilk she's biologically wired to treat carbonation as alcohol]], she does this with pop, even bringing a bottle of Ramune down into the courtroom [[spoiler:to keep down her nerves in the trial she was guilty in]].
* ModestRoyalty: Mouri wonders why a princess looks like any girl he could see in the shopping district. Granted, she ''was'' [[KingIncognito on the run]] as far as she knew, but her profile in the Vault had outed her.
* PoliticallyActivePrincess: Caren worries about her people and [[spoiler:regrets having failed to save them]]. Zagi judges her for asking why he doesn't care about the politics of his own world and what's going to happen to the people there, telling her to mind her own business.
* PurpleEyes: She normally has grey eyes, but when she's revealed as [[OurMermaidsAreDifferent a mermaid]], they go purple and her hair gets brighter.

* DotingParent: To everyone he takes in.
* FishPeople: A shrimp humanoid. This confuses just about everyone.
* HairAntennae: Seems to have these, but as he proves to Misa, they're ''real'' antennae.
* HappilyMarried: Loves his wife Doloz with all his heart. Doloz happens to be a giant, non-humanoid lobster. This doesn't bother Cherryblod in the least.
* HotGuyUglyWife: Many of the other Survivors think this when they see his wedding photo or just hear that he's married to an ''actual talking lobster''. For his part, Cherryblod thinks his wife is adorable.
* LikeASonToMe: To Mettaton and Yosuke, in particular.
* ReformedButRejected: Mouri and Misa judge him on his past crimes as a danger to everyone who can never atone, but he really is reformed [[spoiler:(aside from his belief in [[PayEvilUntoEvil paying evil onto evil]]) and makes the survivor pool. Mouri, at least, changes his mind.]]
* SharpDressedMan: His default outfit is a suit.
* StepfordSmiler: He'll cry on his own, but he tries to put up a smiling front so as not to bother the others.

* MarriedToTheJob: Says this is why he doesn't have many friends back home.
* ScienceHero: Once he starts growing a feeling and remembers his redemption. He's gotten or interpreted some evidence in the right manner because of his background in [[OmnidisciplinaryScientist various fields]]. Mod narration in one investigation implores him to "GO SOLVE THE CASE WITH ~SCIENCE~."

* DefectiveDetective: He's in denial that his marriage has been in name only for a decade, he's always at odds with everyone, and counter to how this trope usually works, he isn't even that good of a detective.
* GenreBlindness: Being more used to ''actual law'' instead of murdergame conventions, he actively tries to keep anyone else away from crime scenes (except for Lynne and Bruce, who would be allowed to investigate crime scenes in day-to-day life) because civilians could screw it up. He later relaxes on this.
* LethalChef: Even when he tries not to fail, something always seems to happen and ruins his cooking.
* MarriedToTheJob: Aqua comments on this. It's most likely why his actual marriage fell apart.
* TheObiWannabe: Once he starts getting over his dislike of {{Kid Detective}}s (and very-recently-legal detectives), he starts to see Yousuke as his "apprentice." Never mind that Yousuke's solving the mysteries as well as he is or better.

* BeAsUnhelpfulAsPossible: When he's been accused one too many times, he derails a trial for hours to reiterate that he didn't do it and couldn't possibly have done it, shutting everyone down rather than cooperate.

* BecomingTheMask: He always backs away from attachment, warning people not to get close, and is frank about how he can and will cut people off for his own gain, but [[spoiler:by the time that he reveals just how far that goes, he has to admit that he's started to really like the people back whom he was "only acting" around.]]
* BrainlessBeauty: Comes across as this sometimes, but he's got a lot of HiddenDepths.
* InferioritySuperiorityComplex: Despite shoving his ego in everyone's faces, when Mettaton says things like "I hate (the Kingmaker) enough to make sure he dies," he's talking more about himself than about the Kingmaker. [[spoiler:Especially since he's sharing mastermind duty.]]
* ISeeDeadPeople: Can see the souls of everyone in the Vault, including those of the dead.

* ImportantHaircut: He cuts his own hair after [[spoiler:Black's trial.]]
* MoralDissonance: Comes off a little like this once he gets the memory of what he almost did to the suspected killer. Coming to terms with this is covered in his expanded social link in ''Persona 4: The Golden'', so it doesn't bother him much in the Vault.
* NeverBareheaded: Complains about going weeks without his headphones, since he always had them on at home. No longer the case after Week 5, as Cherryblod gifts him [[{{VideoGame/Undertale}} Napstablook's]] headphones. He wears them even without any kind of music player attached.

* ValuesDissonance: Experiences a lot of this in comparison to some of the other survivors, mostly due to Persona 4's very hopeful story and belief in 'bonds' overcoming anything and sticking to your morals above your own safety. To the point that it almost kills his budding friendship with Black before it even started; thankfully, they patched things up the next week.
* WhatWouldXDo: He's given to wondering what his canon's protagonist would do in his situation and often thinks that Yuu would have freed them before anyone died.

* RoboSpeak: Always communicates in toneless all-caps.
* TricksterMentor: [[spoiler:Glory is forbidden to help the Survivors win the game. Even so, she seems to have an interest in them, and so gives cryptic answers, usually with double meanings, that say more than they seem.
