21
22	!![[VideoGame/{{Hiveswap}} Joey Claire]]
23	!!!The Impossible
24	Made it to the survivor pool.
25	* Main/AnimateInanimateObject: Her power is to animate a single object to move around and assist her - identical to Shiki's power in VideoGame/TheWorldEndsWithYou and, just like Shiki, used on a Mr. Mew doll, thanks to Joey's love of animals both plush and living.
26	* Main/DanceBattler: Acrobatic pirouettes galore in the final battle, as expected.
27	* Main/FishOutOfTemporalWater: Only by about 20 years relative to the setting of the Mall, but she does freak out in the best way when she discovers how fast the "'net" is in 2017. Also, Hamster Dance.
28	* Main/VitriolicBestBuds: The only Titled she genuinely doesn't get along with most of the time is Britt, but she ends up making a Pact with him for the final boss fight regardless.
29
30	!![[VisualNovel/ZeroEscape Dio ]]
31	!!!The Bodacious
32	The culprit of Week 1/Case 1.
33	* DoesntTrustThoseGuys: Towards "old men", demonstrating IrrationalHatred to the point that it is one of just two dislikes on his profile. He's practically more vitriolic towards ''Ren'', who is [[ExaggeratedTrope barely 40]] and never did anything wrong the entire time in the mall, than towards their captors themselves.
34	* DrivenByEnvy: As early as Week 2, Dio had independently decided to make a few attempts at training his psychic powers and organizing meetings, but his efforts kick into overdrive Week 3 onwards, when he starts consciously comparing himself with Akechi.
35	* FashionVictimVillain: [[spoiler:The attributes of his Impossibly Tacky Clothes are detailed below. Combined with Dio being the first culprit,]] you get this trope, which definitely serves its narrative purpose as an extension from the dysfunctional elements of his personality.
36	* FishOutOfTemporalWater: [[spoiler:By over fifty years relative to the setting of the mall,]] leading him to take such unusual actions as try to play compact discs ''without removing them from their packages''.
37	* IgnoredEpiphany: When he first regains his memories, he's shocked that his actions in the mall were a SenselessSacrifice, and he's also very critical of certain people. He keeps coming this close to concluding that he might be not so different, going about things the wrong way in general... and then Dio just goes home after the game, returning to the exact same career and lifestyle. The possibility is left open for a DoubleSubversion of HeelRealization after he learns that even his comrades won't entirely agree with him about what happened out there in the multiverse.
38	* ImpossiblyTackyClothes: He splurges on other outfits in the mall, but these garments all retain the ridiculous themes of his canon default get-up. For example, he still wears a top hat. His clothes scream "who let him dress himself?" so loudly that Helena, who had forsaken the "shallow" fashion world, has no qualms about befriending someone whose profile says he likes "fashion".
39	* KindHeartedCatLover: An example of the AntiVillain variation where this behavior is one of the few bright points in an otherwise sour personality. He sneaks out at night to avoid attention as he feeds the apparently unsupervised cats in the cat cafe, and he's one of the two people who undertakes the mission to return three of those cats who wandered out of the cafe and got lost in the mall.
40	* NotSoWellIntentionedExtremist: He seemed to believe that he would "save humanity" by [[spoiler: committing the first murder, getting the other thirteen strangers executed, and escaping to complete his "mission". However, he accepts this "mission" with no critical thought whatsoever, implying that his real concern is the pursuit of glory and the avoidance of punishment for disobeying orders, and his approach is merciless. Instead of coming off superheroic, Dio's demeanor towards the other strangers is almost completely callous, sometimes even sadistic. He may not have been motivated by money, but his actions were still the epitome of greedy]], as the Life Coach [[AnAesop summarizes]].
41	* RealMenEatMeat: He expresses great enthusiasm about the steak available for purchase in the mall, and he shared multiple such meals with Britt as a masculine bonding activity.
42	* TheResenter: Towards the second culprit. [[spoiler: Akechi hailed from an affluent metropolis and actively decided as a young adult to enter the life of crime that would rapidly consume and coerce him. In the mall he was admired as a leader of the group, forging friendships and even a romantic relationship. Many of the strangers forgave Akechi to some extent for murdering two people, and three went so far as to risk their lives protecting him from execution. Dio expected since his birth to continue a lineage of crime, and he was expressly forbidden from forming interpersonal connections of any kind, a principle that he carried into the mall, leading the strangers to lament his death by execution a lot less. Though Akechi had endured many difficulties, he still was resented for seeming to squander several significant privileges that Dio had been denied his whole life. ]]
43	* WrongGenreSavvy: Dio believes that the gamerunners are serious about enforcing punishments fatally and selecting motives that will provoke at least some murderous stranger, so emotional attachments will only make the inevitable deaths more awkward. [[spoiler:This is practically DeathByGenreSavviness, because he was strictly speaking ''right'' that someone was going to murder eventually, but nothing directly said that ''Dio'' had to be the one who committed that murder and put himself at risk of getting executed.]] He's also just straight up wrong about believing that forensic evidence would be insufficient in accordance with his previous experience. There was at least a slim chance for things to go differently, but his character was deliberately written into the game to depict these ramifications of his ruthless personality, making this an EnforcedTrope.
44	* YourTerroristsAreOurFreedomFighters: LampshadeHanging as Dio tells Helena about some events from his canon.
45	--> '''Dio:''' The Myrmidons make the prophesied revelations a reality by cleansing the current corrupted world to usher in the great change. Basically what any unenlightened person would call terrorism.
46
47	!![[VideoGame/Conception2ChildrenOfTheSevenStars Torri Feiiji ]]
48	!!!The Bliss
49	One of the victims of Week 2/Case 2.
50
51	!![[Anime/YuriOnIce Yuuri Katsuki ]]
52	!!!The Future
53	One of the victims of Week 2/Case 2.
54	* MakeSureHesDead: [[spoiler:After the culprit throws Yuuri over a second floor railing, he comes downstairs to check that Yuuri is dead. When it's obvious the poor guy is still alive and suffering, the culprit gives him a merciful, quick end by slitting his throat.]]
55	* SingleTargetSexuality: Despite not remembering his canon relationship with Victor (and even freaking out over the sight of his ring), Yuuri never shows romantic or sexual interest in any of the other Strangers.
56	* SlashedThroat: [[spoiler: How the culprit of Week 2 finishes him off. The fact that both carotids were severed with a precise cut shows that the killer knew exactly what he was doing.]]
57
58	!![[VideoGame/Persona5 Akira Kurusu ]]
59	!!!The Nagging
60	Made it to the survivor pool.
61
62	!![[VideoGame/TheLegendOfHeroesTrailsInTheSky Leonhardt/"Loewe" ]]
63	!!!The Winds
64	Punished during the final week.
65
66	!![[Franchise/LittleWitchAcademia Croix Meridies]]
67	!!!The Chance
68	Made it to the survivor pool.
69
70	!![[Manga/YuYuHakusho Shuuichi "Kurama" Minamino ]]
71	!!!The Unknown
72	The culprit of Week 3/Case 3.
73
74	!![[Film/TheGreenHornet Britt Reid ]]
75	!!!The Needed
76	Made it to the survivor pool.
77
78	!![[Franchise/{{Pokemon}} Ren Sanzashi ]]
79	!!!The Doorframe
80	The victim of Week 3/Case 3.
81	* ExtraOreDinary: His team specializes in Steel-type Pokemon.
82	* HappilyMarried: Though he doesn't remember his wife at first.
83	* MustHaveNicotine: Is a fairly regular cigarette smoker. [[spoiler:Kurama knows this and poisons his cigarettes during week 3.]]
84	* ReallyGetsAround: Tells Akechi that he used to be this when he was younger, though he doesn't exactly fit the description now.
85	* SirSwearsALot: Guilty of this, along with Britt and Helena.
86	* SmokingIsNotCool: Has to go through pretty extensive lengths to avoid bothering the other Strangers with his habit, given the enclosed setting. [[spoiler:It also proves to be his undoing in case 3.]]
87	* TeamDad: The oldest of the human Strangers, and acts like this towards the younger captives.
88
89	!![[WesternAnimation/NeoYokio Helena St. Tessero]]
90	!!!The Nasty
91	Punished during Week 3.
92	[[/folder]]
93
94	[[folder: [=NPCs=]]]
95	!![[Videogame/TheWorldEndsWithYou Coco Atarashi]]
96	!!!The Life Coach
97	* ValleyGirl
98	* LikeIsLikeAComma
99	* AbsurdPhobia: When Akira invites her to the cat cafe, LC admits that she's a little scared of cats - despite the other Masterminds' mania for putting them everywhere, and her best friend in the Mall literally being a giant robot cat. [[spoiler: Though the latter is slightly justified when you see that Nyaf-ya can project a less "scary" humanoid form.]]
100	* BlueAndOrangeMorality: She's genuinely kind to everyone and enjoys fulfilling the role of Life Coach, but despite lamenting their suffering she doesn't seem to have any other qualms over their presence in a murder game, even going so far as to use the word "fair" to describe it. [[spoiler: After all, she'll still see them as Players in the Reaper's Game.]]
101	* TheDeterminator: [[spoiler: According to one of the clue documents, "She'll do anything to ensure the Noise boom doesn't claim more worlds." This is why she is in full support of the killing game, even willing to mislead people to execution vote her until Croix stepped in.]]
102	* DramaticallyMissingThePoint: During the second culprit's breakdown, he clings to hope that a loved one would be saved because he'd asked LC if [[ExactWords one person could survive]] the mass execution, and, misunderstanding his intentions, she'd answered in the affirmative. But rather than a culprit getting to choose whoever they wanted to spare, she just meant that the Fabricator would naturally be spared as it's a perk of their role.
103	* EasternZodiac: [[spoiler: The ears on her hoodie are described as 'mouse ears', to slot her as the Rat in the Eastern Zodiac theme the Reapers in canon have going on. Her phobia of cats is a play on cats and mice in general.]]
104	* RecruitmentByRescue: [[spoiler: Coco was originally from the universe of ''The World Ends With You: Live Remix'', a social game set in an alternate universe of TWEWY that was discontinued in 2014. As a nod to that, it turns out her reality/version of Shibuya had been destroyed by the Ringleader Noise, and an Angel (implied to be Sanae Hanekoma) had evacuated her to the world of the main game. This fostered her interest in and loyalty to the Angels, which eventually lead to her becoming the Life Coach for the killing game.]] Because of this, LC claims that rather than receiving compensation for her help, she is instead repaying a debt.
105
106	!!Nephilix/"Nyaf-ya"
107	!!!The Executioner
108	* BruiserWithASoftCenter: Both figuratively ''and'' literally.
109	* TheCutie: Even aside from her inherited traits, her self-image is also ''adorable''.
110	* KindHeartedCatLover: Inherited from her [[spoiler: kind-of mother]].
111	* PowerArmor: A slightly terrifying (and cat-based) robot version here.
112	* PungeonMaster: All the cat puns!!
113	* PunnyName: Her real name is based on the fact that she is, in essence, a female nephilim: the "child" of an angel [[spoiler: (The Law of Cycles)]] and a devil [[spoiler: (Seven, due to his baptismal name of Luciel)]].
114	* ShownTheirWork: A very stealthy version, but in regards to her nickname, the "-ya" part is actually [[spoiler: a Korean honorific to denote a child, indicating that she is the youngest individual in the hierarchy of the Game's runners]] - and that someone among them, likely her creator, is [[spoiler: Korean]].
115	* SoulJar: Hers is a hologram-emitting, computer chip-esque version of the ones found in [[spoiler: the Madoka universe]].
116
117	!!Japhet
118	!!!The Game Master
119
120	!![[Anime/PuellaMagiMadokaMagica The Law of Cycles]]/"Kana"
121	!!!The Conductor
122	* AFormYouAreComfortableWith: In her case, she takes the form of [[spoiler: Madoka Kaname]] as it's who created her to begin with.
123	* AllLovingHero: She does her best to improve everyone's lives during the duration of the game. This even those who were culprits, who she believes can improve themselves.
124	* DamagedSoul: [[spoiler: The Law of Cycles is post-''Rebellion'', and so she lacks the presence of Madoka Kaname save for a faint connection spanning the universes]].
125	* DreamCrushingHandicap: Implied. In her life story flashback, it's implied that [[spoiler: being separated from Madoka ''literally'' caused her to lose her hands - the very thing that allowed the Law of Cycles to carry out Madoka's wish.]]
126	* GoodCannotComprehendEvil: Revealed in her memories and in her journal entries. She wonders if [[spoiler: Homura]] actually hated her existence, and struggles to reconcile her own feelings about what happened to her. Nevertheless, she still supported [[spoiler: Homura]] handling their home universe for as long as it works, and hopes to reconcile one day.
127	* MeaningfulName: The name she uses in the Mall is in fact referring to an important part of a bigger name. Just as [[spoiler:Madoka '''Kana'''me]] herself is an important part of something bigger.
128	* MemeticMutation: A phenomenon that happened after her presence in-game was revealed was the constant uttering of it in tones of awe or perhaps horror. This lead to the [[spoiler:'''''KANAME MADOKA''''']] counter being established in chat.
129	* MoralityPet: [[spoiler: Yotsuyu's diary implies that she and Seven are becoming this to her.]]
130	* RecruitmentByRescue: The [[spoiler: Angels]] essentially did this for her, making her the only character of the four Masterminds who didn't have to [[spoiler: die]] to gain their power and position.
131
132	!![[Videogame/FinalFantasyXIV Yotsuyu Sashihai]
133	!!!The Composer
134
135	* TookALevelInBadass: [[spoiler: Yotsuyu has a massive amount of power from becoming a Composer, and can rain down gun beams and stop time. She also uses Dragon Couture pins as well as her noise boss form, Picave Cantus.]]
136
137	!![[VisualNovel/MysticMessenger 707]] aka. Luciel Choi
138	!!!The Producer
139
140	* EmpoweredBadassNormal: [[spoiler: 707 was already a trained secret agent, but now he's ascended to become an Angel, which comes with a godlike amount of power. He uses the Darklit Planets pin set when fighting Players on their level, but he also has a noise boss form. Seven implies that he has many more "faces" than that, but he may or may not be exaggerating thanks to his personality.]]
141	* MoralityPet: [[spoiler: Yotsuyu's diary implies that he and Kana are becoming this to her.]]
142	* SmartPeopleBuildRobots: Though he comes off like a [[GeniusDitz Genius Ditz]], he's the Executioner's creator, and his robot lab is one of the areas that could be explored in the final trial.
143	* TrademarkFavoriteFood: His bedroom is disgustingly littered full of wrappers and bottles of his favorite snacks, [[BlandNameProduct Honey Buddha Chips and Ph.D. Pepper]], especially the latter - the masterminds even have a literal fountain of the aforementioned soda in their conference room. [[ImprobableWeaponUser He also rained down Ph.D. Pepper Vending Machines as one of his attacks.]] The chips were available as [[AndYourRewardIsEdible a gacha prize]].
144
145	!![[Videogame/TheWorldEndsWithYou Yoshiya "Joshua" Kiryu & Sanae Hanekoma]]
146	!!!The Composer & Producer of Shibuya
147
148	Individuals appearing only in flashback, but still important to Round 2.
149
150	* CouldHaveAvoidedThisPlot: [[spoiler:Joshua]] outright admits this, since he only left [[spoiler: Sho]] alive was because [[ItAmusedMe he was always fun to watch]].
151	* GildedCage: Ultimately how [[spoiler: Mr. H]] was punished for his actions during [[spoiler:the Shibuya Reaper's Game]]. He can still help out as he normally would have due to there being [[TheOnlyOne no one else]] who can replace him at the moment. However, he's still branded a criminal, and if he so much as sneezes wrong he'll have no third chance. Like in canon, [[IDidWhatIHadToDo he's fine with this compromise]].
152	* NiceJobBreakingItHero
153
154
155	!![[Videogame/TheWorldEndsWithYou Sho Minamimoto]]
156	!!! The GreaterScopeVillain
157
158	* TheDreaded: Especially since [[spoiler:Taboo Noise]] is ''much'' stronger than the usual, [[spoiler: Noise in general]] gets stronger when left unchecked, and it's been a ''decade'' since he started reality-hopping...
