* EvilFormerFriend: Still this to Shingetsu from her canon, but knowing now that she was manipulated by both magical and mundane means to become this and then essentially be sacrificed, Anna constantly contends with how much of her feelings on the matter are real.



* ArchEnemy: To Lucrezia, whom he outs as his mastermmind in the first meeting.

dewicking Cloning Blues, moved to Clone Angst


* CloningBlues: Thanks to the ending twist of his original round, he's a copy of the original. He also immediately assumes that everyone else is ''also'' a digital clone, and contemplates the ethics of bursting their bubble about their individuality and identities without realizing that that might not be the case here.

* AlienBlood: Blue, since his true species is an octopus merman.
* ApparentlyHumanMerfolk: Though it's actually caused by what the mod narration calls a "potion of humansona," and his true form is more monstrous.
* PowerParasite: He's normally able to take others' abilities; the sheer extent of how many people he's cheated out of their magic was his secret in his previous game's secrets motive. Being nerfed to the extent that he can barely use his ''own'' powers distresses him.

to:

* WhatHaveIBecome: Her driving question after her first game and time in the interim adventuring in another world. She regularly questions both how she's changed since the lighthouse (feeling guilty about the classism she defaults to and her old habit of throwing people away who were no longer useful to her) and what "Anna" is now that she knows [[MoreThanMindControl why she went bad]] [[CosmicPlaything to begin with]] and she's away from the things that made her a hatred-driven mess. [[spoiler:Anna reaffirms that she doesn't want to go back, even if she has to kill to make it happen.]]

* ImpracticallyFancyOutfit: That flamenco dress she went around canon in isn't all that useful for running around an island, even if she stubbornly tries to complete an athletic challenge in it anyway. After the obstacle course predictably goes poorly, she starts using her scholar outfit, which allows for more mobility, when she's planning on doing anything strenuous. [[spoiler:This is an evidence bullet in case 3, hinting that Anna planned the murder and [[HoistByHisOwnPetard got got by her own trap]].]]



* FailureKnight: Lust quickly identifies with her usual level of scorn that Ray's attempt to protect all the kids is this after the disaster that was their last game.
* FriendToAllChildren: Ray is still horribly distressed over [[DeathOfAChild everyone under 18 dying in his game, at least one per case]], and he sets out to try to protect the kids here. [[spoiler:It goes poorly when he arms Slimer, who panics at seeing Franciscus trip Anna into her own death trap and avenges her, marking Ray as the culprit.]]

* AgentMulder: Akane believes every occult conspiracy theory under the sun and will opine about them at the slightest prompt.
* FreakOut: She does this at body discoveries and the "worst fear" challenge, due to a ''lot'' of murdergame trauma going back to her canon and her childhood.
* MindlinkMates: Even separated by years and having each found a SecondLove in their own murdergames, [[spoiler:when she reunites with Junpei, they both inwardly recognize that they'll always still feel the same way for each other despite how ill fated they were]].
* TheNicknamer: Often gives out {{Affectionate Nickname}}s to her close CR.
* SecretlyDying: Her health problem is actually [[spoiler:a time paradox she still needs to turn into a StableTimeLoop; if she fails, she's already dead and [[RetGone time reacts accordingly]].]]




to:

* TraumaticSuperpowerAwakening: Had one as a child when she was kidnapped and nearly killed, saved only by a StableTimeLoop [[spoiler:that she still had to close by [[HeWhoFightsMonsters running her own]] DeadlyGame]]. Aside from clear and present PTSD, this also caused her physical health problems like frequent fevers.


Added DiffLines:

* AdoptiveNameChange: Brain scorns this practice at first due to his jealousy, but Heart is sure he'll eventually come around. [[spoiler:He does, taking on the name Brain Ein von Kleve.]]
* CrazyJealousGuy: Brain's defining characteristic is [[GreenEyedMonster jealousy]] that drives a lot of his petty and stubborn behaviour and sometimes threatens to overtake him entirely.


Added DiffLines:

* LoveInterestTraitor: [[spoiler:Tampers with Heart's memories to keep him from realizing he's the last culprit, knowing that Heart would confess immediately and wanting to spare him even if it means scapegoating himself and leading everyone else to die.]] He tearfully admits that he knows it's wrong, but "my love is flawed."

* ItsAllAboutMe: Lucrezia is a massive egomaniac who can't stop boasting about her genius and accomplishments. She tries to keep it down to endear herself to others, but it's on full blast when she's alone or with Shin (who knows her secret already) and she'll sometimes let her guard down among fellow villains.

* TheAtoner: After a thorough dressing down at the Airlocked series finale and 5 years in prison with mandatory therapy, Nina does make strides toward this.

* InsecureLoveInterest: To Barry. In the first half of the game, she goes from trying to tell herself she doesn't deserve to fall in love (after the last person she fell for was one of her own victims) to that same crushing guilt leading her to try and tell Barry not to reciprocate.
