History Characters / YumeNikki

NPC's that don't give Effects but are hard to forget.

* EasterEgg: It lacks any distinguishing feature other than being one of the most difficult NPCs to find in Madotsuki's dreams.

* TeleportersAndTransporters: Of a sort. One in Dense Woods B will teleport Madotsuki to the Teleport Maze, while the one Dense Woods A makes it so walking east from it will take Madotsuki to [[UnnaturallyLoopingLocation the Infinite Road]] instead of back to Puddle World.

A smug smiling girl that we meet in the White Desert.

* DummiedOut: There was an unused version of him in the game's files where he was in the same artstyle as Madotsuki. These versions were used in versions .006 and .009.

* DummiedOut: It has 3 unused animations.

* {{Foil}}: To Madostuki. They're both human girls living alone in a single room that they refuse to leave under any circumstances. But while Madotsuki mentally leaves her room to explore the dream world, Poniko doesn't leave hers ''at all'' and might be just a figment of Madotsuki's imagination.

* MeaninfulName: Of a FanNickname sort, in the sense that it flees from the player

* SmallAnnoyingCreature: In-universe. Several characters, such as the "passengers" on the Train Car, O-Man and e-Man in the Mall, and the Witches at Witches' Island, display annoyed or angry reactions to the effect's meow.

!!Effect Dream Residents

!!!Ittan-momen
A moving towel that gives the ''Towel" effect.

A lamp with feet that gives the "Lamp" effect.

!!Other Notable Dream Residents
!!!Jellyfish
A pair of red jellyfish (with legs) that we meet at different points of the game.

* SlapYourselfAwake: Pinching herself is just about the ''only'' way to get her to wake up; fortunately, it allows her to escape dangerous situations such as the [[MookBouncer Toriningens']] otherwise inescapable rooms.

* PinchMe: Just about the ''only'' way to get her to wake up; fortunately, it allows her to escape dangerous situations such as the [[MookBouncer Toriningens']] otherwise inescapable rooms.

!!!Neon Parrot
A glowing parrot that gives the "Neon" effect.

* ShoutOut: Probably unintentional but it looks like the ghosts and Youmu's ghost half from {{VideoGame/Touhou}}.

* AlasPoorVillain: She's a complete jerk in the manga, but after learning about her backstory, it's hard not to understand where she's coming from. [[spoiler: Like Madotsuki and presumably other girls before them, she was trapped in the Dream World's LotusEaterMachine against her will, so she could be[[BrainwashingForTheGreaterGood turned]] into a "good girl". When that didn't work, whoever was in charge of the project decided to just lock her away in the program, making her prolonged stay in it a AndIMustScream - situation.]]

* FatGirl: Turns Madotsuki into one of these.

* IcyBlueEyes: Sports a pair of these.

* AbusiveParents: The manga implies that she has these, if her [[spoiler: begging Uboa to stop beating her up is an indication as she says "Mom."

* [[spoiler:DrivenToSuicide: After collecting all 24 Effects, Madotsuki jumps off of her apartment balcony.]]

* TheStoic: She barely shows much of a reaction to all of the strange events and creatures she encounters.

Three monsters that give the "Long", "Blond", and "Poop Hair" effects.

* {{Youkai}}: With their blob-like appearance and large mouths, they are possibly a reference to the ''nuppeppo''. Unnervingly, they're always found near what appear to be puddles of blood.

* BigEater: He's constantly eating something that appears to be an ice cream cone.

!!!Yuki-Onna
A woman in a kimono that gives Madotsuki the "Yuki-Onna" effect.

It's a weird something that gives the "Squish-Squish" effect

A girl that's invisible except for her hat and scarf. She gives you the "Hat and Scarf" effect

----
* BreakOutCharacter: She's the only other character on the main page Kikyama's website
* TertiarySexualCharacteristics: Her eyelashes clues fans that she's a girl

A glowing parrot that gives the "Neon" effect

A faceless ghost that gives the "Nopperabou"

* TheFaceless: True to it's name, as it's the only ghost that doesn't have a face

A corpse NPC that gives the "Stoplight" effect

* LookBothWays: He's in the middle of the road and gives the Stoplight effect, implying he was hit by a car

Some long stick guy that's eating something. Gives the "Fat" effect

A woman in a kimono that gives Madotsuki the "Yuki-Onna" effect

A pair of red jellyfish (with legs) that we meet at different points of the game

* UnknownCharacter: More so than the other [=NPCs=], as these guys are just, well, there. They don't react like the usual [=NPCs=] do to the effects and, when interacted with, they just make a chime or teleport the player somewhere.

A sleeping girl that lives in an igloo

* HeavySleeper: Probably more so than Madotsuki and she barely does anything when you use the Cat effect.
* MeaningfulName: While there isn't Japanese word for "igloo", the "kamakura" part of her name is reference to a type of snowhut that kids play in.

Some tall phallus-shaped NPC that rubs the stairway railing

* MeaningfulName: He's named after that rubbing sound.

A one eyed and one footed crying alien

* ShoutOut: Her full-screen event is possibly one to [[http://nazr.in/1e94 this girl]] from ''Anime/SerialExperimentsLain''
* JumpScare: In ''YUMENIKKI –DREAM DIARY–'', she does this if you approach her in the Staircase area, where she screams at the player

A pigtailed girl in the White Desert

* BodyHorror: Using the Stoplight effect and interacting with her will show her to have this; with five arms, some kind of wound in her torso, a melting eyeball, and probably a melting mouth
* GirlishPigtails: She sports these and they make her look younger than Monoe

A musician we meet on a space ship

* FishEyes: His eyes are "googly", one facing up and the other facing down
* NoMouth: Like a few other characters, he doesn't have a mouth

* MeaningfulName: In a meta sense, as it was named after the [[http://nazr.in/1e9b first people]] to find it

* AndIMustScream: [[spoiler: In the mange she's a human girl just like Madotsuki, who was locked into DreamLand permanently when BrainwashingForTheGreaterGood didn't work on her.]]

* AdaptationExpansion: In the game, she's just another dream resident that aimlessly wanders her room. In the manga, she's a character in her own right.

* AlasPoorVillain: [[spoiler: She's a complete jerk in the manga, but after learning about her backstory, it's hard not to understand where she's coming from.]]

** The manga takes this a step further. [[spoiler: Poniko is a human girl trapped in the same dream world as Madotsuki, but while the latter is a somewhat naive newcomer who is friendly and optimistic, Poniko has figured out the purpose and nature of the world they're trapped in long ago and has absolutely no qualms about using violence, theft and blackmail to escape it.]]

An NPC that's hard to find.

!Eye Palm (Medamaude)

* UnknownCharacter: More so than the other NPCs, as these guys are just, well, there. They don't react like the usual NPCs do to the effects and, when interacted with, they just make a chime or teleport the player somewhere.

* DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything: A subtle one, where if Madotsuki has the Cat effect equipped, he rubs slower but, if Madotsuki has the Knife effect equipped, he rubs faster.
