 * In-Series Nickname: Refers to himself as "Hououin Kyouma". Mayuri and Daru call him "Okarin".
 * Jerk with a Heart of Gold
 * Large Ham: When he's acting out his Hououin Kyouma persona, he tends to be very loud and theatrical. When Okabe himself shines through, he's inclined towards gloominess and is actually fairly mellow.

 * Catch Phrase: Her "Tuturu~" whenever she greets someone.
 * Cat Smile: Justified that she work as a waitress in a cat girl cafe.
 * Childhood Friends: With Okabe.
 * Cosplay Otaku Girl: She loves cosplay, but is only interested in making the costumes and having others wear them.
 * The Ditz: She tends not to understand anything that's going on in the lab and, unlike Daru, doesn't seem to get it even after having it simplified. When Mayuri says that one of the names Kurisu came up for to describe what they're doing was too complicated, Kurisu nearly says it doesn't count because Mayuri is dumb, which Okabe catches her on.
 * Gamer Chick: She's a big fan of RaiNet, but there's no indication that she's actually any good at it. Rather, she just thinks the mascot is adorable.
 * Green Eyes
 * In-Series Nickname: "Mayushii", a nickname she gives to herself.
 * Incorruptible Pure Pureness: She's a pretty mild example: while Okabe and Daru are all gung-ho about hacking into SERN and other dubious activities, Mayuri disapproves even when it's clear that SERN is up to some pretty shady business.
 * Nice Hat: Almost always wears a wide brimmed, frilly looking blue hat.
 * Smarter Than You Look: Despite what her ditzy mannerisms might suggest, she can be very insightful.

Kurisu Makise
"Voiced by: Asami Imai"

An 18-year-old Teen Genius killed in the initial timeline, only to reappear alive and well in another. She later becomes a lab member, and starts working along with Daru in the creation of new gadgets. .


 * Abusive Parents/Parental Neglect: Kurisu's father keeps a distance from her, downright refusing to see her..
 * Adaptation Dye Job: Kurisu's hair is brown in the original visual novel, but has red hair in the anime.
 * Blue Eyes
 * Broken Bird
 * Captain Ersatz: Looks very similar to Tsubaki Yayoi (anime only) in terms of appearance, she even has the same voice actor to boot!
 * Closet Geek
 * Cry Cute: In episode 5, after Okabe, already irate at losing a board game with her, yells at her for calling him by his real name, and then calling her "Christina".
 * Guilty Pleasure: Posting on 2channel, dropping internet slang, just to name a few. Often becomes embarrassed when Daru and Okarin points them out.
 * In-Series Nickname: Multiple nicknames used by Okabe, mainly "Christina". There's also "The Zombie" or simply "Assistant". There was also the short lived "Celebrity 7" or "Celeb-7".
 * Intelligence Equals Isolation: Prior to knowing Okabe and co., though not so much she isolates herself as others isolate her..
 * Lethal Chef: Her apple pie is considered a lethal weapon.
 * My Name Is Not CHRISTINA!
 * Omnidisciplinary Scientist: Is a neuroscientist, but is apparently well-versed enough in theoretical physics to conceptualize and build a time machine.
 * Pettanko: Maybe only in the anime. In the visual novel, there's a couple of scenes showing she's not that flat-chested.
 * Red Headed Heroine
 * Teen Genius: From an early age, she studied math and science like crazy at the expense of everything else, which has left her a more respected scientist than her father, even though she's seventeen when the story starts.
 * Took a Level in Badass: She's one of the 2 guest characters in the 2D fighting game Phantom Breaker, and is the only normal human, but she can fight an even match against superpowered adversaries using lab gadgets. It should be noted that she's among the only 2 characters who have 2 supers.
 * Tsundere: A hilariously stereotypical one, at that. Lampshaded by Daru, much to her dismay and denial.
 * Yandere: Just... Listen to this drama CD.

 * Shrinking Violet: He's very shy and quiet, so Okabe seems to have taken it upon himself to give him manliness lessons by practice swinging a fake sword.
 * Single-Target Sexuality: Okabe. Even when, there are still hints dropped that he does have at least a crush on him. He didn't get a lot of screen time to show any interest in anybody else.

 * In-Series Nickname: Rintaro calls her "Shining Finger".
 * Meganekko: Her glasses help her look withdrawn and timid.
 * Perpetual Frowner: Her life is pretty empty, so she always looks essentially expressionless and depressed. When in the lab for the first time, she seems intrigued by these people, but since she looks so emotionless, it's a little hard to tell.
 * The Quiet One: She hates having to speak, but when using mail, she's a real chatterbox to the point where the frequency of her messages really irritates Okabe. She begins talking just a bit more frequently by the time the movie comes around.

 * Spell My Name with an "S": "Faris" is apparently the official spelling, but "Feiris" and "Feyris" also see heavy use.
 * Verbal Tic: She even ends her sentences with "-nya".
