Steins;Gate/Characters

 has a relatively small cast, with only eight important characters, and only a handful of recurring side characters. Listed tropes will also come from Steins;Gate 0. Spin-off titles will be included as well, and characters introduced in Steins;Gate 0 will not be included here, going on that work's own character page instead.

The eight main characters are listed in order of their Lab inductions. They are:

Rintaro Okabe
"EN: Imma bust out some questions yo, so holla at yer booooiiiiiii! Word to your motha! JP: I am mad scientist! It's so cooool! Sonuvabitch!"

- Okabe's attempt to communicate with a foreign person

The protagonist, an 18-year-old 1st-year college student and leader of the Future Gadget Laboratory. .


 * Adaptational Attractiveness: He is given a much less gaunt appearance in the anime.
 * Catch Phrase: "I am mad scientist!", "This is the choice of Stein's Gate!", "El Psy Kongroo", among others.
 * Chick Magnet: He seems to have no problem with girls swooning over him, and yes, that includes Ruka. Romance options are somewhat explored in the original game, but aren't the main focus. My Darling's Embrace leans more into the romantic options given the nature of the game itself. That said, it's also the only place where Moeka's attraction to Okabe is made apparent, and Suzuha's relationship with him is the only one that is platonic (though she does give him a kiss before she leaves just so Okabe doesn't forget her).

 * Despair Event Horizon:.
 * The Determinator
 * Do Not Call Me "Paul": "Call me Hououin Kyouma!"
 * Inverted in Steins;Gate 0 where he has to remind Faris to not call him Kyouma anymore, much to her dismay.
 * Evil Laugh: Quite good at it, and hilarious too!
 * Eyes of Gold
 * Geeky Turn On: Has one when Kurisu puts on a lab coat intended for Daru and Mayuri.
 * Get a Hold of Yourself, Man!: Delivered by Mayuri, complete with a slap.
 * The Gift: Reading Steiner.
 * Gratuitous English: Uses it constantly. Along with Gratuitous German.
 * Heroic BSOD: Suffers a major one halfway through the series after his numerous attempts to save Mayuri from death doesn't produce the desired results. It's only when Kurisu and Suzuha offer to help that he snaps out of it.
 * Suffers a massive one in Episode 23;beta, the catalyst for 0. Without Mayuri's words of encouragement, or instructions from his Future self, Okabe is so distraught over his failure to save Kurisu, and being responsible for her death, he abandons his time travel escapades, ditches his Hououin Kyouma act, and barely recovers from his series-long depression spell. His misery eventually starts to affect everyone around him, particularly Mayuri.
 * Hit Me Dammit: Outright demands Daru punch him square in the face after time leaping back to 2011 from 2036.
 * In-Series Nickname: Refers to himself as "Hououin Kyouma". Mayuri and Daru call him "Okarin", a portmanteau of his full name.
 * Jerk with a Heart of Gold: he is an annoying obnoxious tool at the worst of times, but when the chips are down, he really does care about his friends.
 * Jive Turkey: In the English dub, he tries to speak jive instead of Gratuitous English. He even quotes Vanilla Ice of all people.
 * 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.
 * Mad Scientist: Or, as he prefers to call himself, the Crazy Mad Scientist "Hououin Kyouma".
 * Misblamed: Okabe faces Daru's wrath after the latter falls into the swimming pool from being hit with a volleyball, even it was Faris' fault that Daru fell to begin with by using him as a shield.
 * The Nicknamer: Enjoys giving other people nicknames based on their deeds, including:
 * Shining Finger (Moeka)
 * Rukako (Ruka)
 * Part-Time Warrior (Suzuha)
 * Super Hack (Daru)
 * Mister Braun (Mr. Tennouji)
 * Sister Braun or Chipmunk (Nae)
 * A multitude of nicknames for Kurisu.
 * Mayuri, who already coined her own nickname "Mayushii", and Faris, who rarely uses her real name anyway, are exceptions to this.
 * Only Daru and Kurisu object to their given nicknames, though Daru more because Okabe calls him "Hack" rather than "Hacker". As for Kurisu...well, no matter what he calls her, it just pisses her off.
 * Phrase Catcher: "You're the last person I want to hear that from."
 * Screw Destiny
 * Seen It All: His "Reading Steiner" allows him to retain memories of alternate world lines.
 * Serious Business: You know this is the case when he either drops the theatrics for a bit, or when he addresses Kurisu by her proper name.
 * Shout-Out: He thinks Suzuha looks like someone out of Street Fighter without her track top.
 * He indirectly references Back to the Future when thinking about Suzuha's predicament in her route.
 * He makes a Pokémon reference when he mentions Upa being more popular than a certain electric yellow rat.
 * Sore Loser: Cannot handle losing a game of RaiNet to anyone, be it Kurisu or Suzuha, and especially gets pissed off when Kurisu outsmarts him in a debate. Cannot stand that Faris plays into his delusional ramblings so effortlessly since he feels she does it better he does, and thus cannot beat her.
 * Tsundere: He's not as blatant as Kurisu, but he fills this category as well, as is cheerfully pointed out by Mayuri.
 * Will They or Won't They?: Shares this dynamic with Kurisu.
 * Would Hit a Girl:.
 * In My Darling Embrace, he gets a little rough with Faris when she teases him. He proceeds to tug on her cat ears, making her cry from the pain.

Mayuri Shiina
"''Tutturuuu! I prefer "Mayushii.""

- Her introduction as Lab Member 002

A 16-year-old high school student and Okabe's childhood friend. She works at May Queen and is also a cosplay designer. . She is designated Lab Member 002.


 * Berserk Button: This is Mayuri we're talking about, so downplayed to the most extreme possible degree here. She does however, get particularly angry towards Okarin after his continued insistence that *female* Ruka was a boy makes her cry.
 * Mayuri is aware that she isn't particularly bright, but she doesn't like when others belittle her intelligence so blatantly, nor when they play up her ditziness.
 * Big Eater: Often buys a ton of snacks, and is often seen snacking on either bananas, or microwavable fried chicken bites. In spite of this, Mayuri still maintains a decent figure.
 * Big Ol' Eyebrows: You can just about see them beneath her fringe. No one ever comments on them though.
 * Big, Thin, Short Trio: She is the short one out of the original trio, with Okabe being the Thin one, and Daru being the Big one.
 * Break the Cutie: Very much so.
 * Catch Phrase: Her "Tutturu~" whenever she greets someone.
 * Cat Smile: Justified that she work as a waitress in a cat themed maid café. Seems to only be a thing in the visual novels, though.
 * Childhood Friends: With Okabe.
 * Cosplay Otaku Girl: She loves cosplay, but is only interested in making the costumes and having others wear them.
 * The Cutie: Whether you like her or not, there is no denying her sweet and innocent personality.
 * 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.
 * Perverted comments she repeats at Daru's requests seem to just fly over a head, doing so without any hint of self awareness whatsoever.
 * 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, an Upa, is adorable. She also compares Okabe's assessment of world lines to different walkthroughs of a video game.
 * Green Eyes
 * The Glomp: Does this a couple of times to Kurisu; first when they first meet, and second when the latter returns to Japan in the film.
 * She does it to Okabe at the end her route in the spin-off, which humorously knocks him over.
 * Guide Dang It: Out of the 6 possible relationships in My Darling's Embrace, Mayuri's route is the hardest to get onto, because it isn't as simple as picking the contents and timing of the D-mail; the player must also respond to Mayuri's text messages with specific replies while ignoring messages from everyone else. If Mayuri's fourth message mentions a certain location, you're on the right track. Her route is the only one that is partially influenced by the player's answers to text messages.
 * I Want My Beloved to Be Happy: Despite her Love Confession towards the end of Steins;Gate 0, she cannot stand to see Okabe looking so miserable that she goes back to August 2010 with Suzuha to correct the timeline for his happiness rather than her own.
 * In-Series Nickname: "Mayushii", a nickname she gives to herself, itself a portmanteau of her full name: Mayuri Shiina.
 * 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.
 * Love Confession: In her route, she confesses to Okabe that she loved him for a long time, but felt great heartache when Kurisu came into their lives and feared that he liked the latter more. She also felt that her upcoming move was God's way of punishing her because of this.
 * Meido: While she's at work, she wears a maid uniform which includes a blonde ponytail.
 * Nice Girl: Sweet and friendly, Mayuri dislikes conflict and wants her fellow Lab Mems to get along with each other, almost acting as the Peacekeeper.
 * Nice Hat: Almost always wears a wide brimmed, frilly looking blue hat.
 * She Cleans Up Nicely: Downplayed, since she's already rather pretty to begin with, but nevertheless, she becomes even more beautiful when preparing for her photoshoot in her route in My Darling's Embrace,
 * Smarter Than You Look: Despite what her ditzy mannerisms might suggest, she can be very insightful. After all, she was the one who figured out who Suzuha's dad was.
 * Static Character: Mayuri is sweet, innocent, and a little slow from the beginning of the series. Unfortunately, she isn't given much character development and she remains as sweet, innocent, and a little slow by the end.
 * Teens Are Short: Like Faris, Mayuri has a very petite stature, standing only 5' 0 '' in height, shorter than the average girl of her age.
 * Third Person Person: Always refers to herself as "Mayushii" instead of using a pronoun.
 * Tragic Keepsake: "Pockety", a pocket watch she inherited from her grandmother after she passed away.
 * Two First Names: Of course, Mayuri is her given name, however "Shiina" is also a fairly common forename for girls in Japan.
 * : Ambiguous, but implied in the true ending.
 * That said, a possible romance arc between the two is explored in My Darling's Embrace as a potential What Could Be scenario.

Itaru Hashida/Daru
"''You know you said "You just wanna see me eat a banana" just a moment ago? Could you repeat that for me? Only, with more of a whisper?"

- One of many examples of Daru asking for a repeat of a Double Entendre

Voiced by: Tomokazu Seki (JP), Tyson Rinehart (EN)

Best known as "Daru", he is Okabe's best friend and a hacker. Okabe considers him to be his "favourite right arm", is a hardcore otaku and a massive pervert; if a girl says something that can be interpreted as a double entendre, he will ask them to repeat it in a specific manner. He is a huge fan of Faris. . He is Lab Member 003.


 * Berserk Button: Two big ones:
 * Apathy towards a friend's suffering (eg. Okabe's non-reaction to Mayuri dying of a heart attack).
 * That one time a power cut disrupts his eroge game sessions.
 * Big Fun: He's a big, fat and somewhat messy guy, but he helps keep the mood going with his generally laid back personality.
 * Big, Thin, Short Trio: He is the big one to Okabe the Thin one, and to Mayuri the short one.
 * Butt Monkey: Like Ruka, Daru is reduced to this in My Darling's Embrace, as he is often on the receiving end of Kurisu's wrath, having his ideas rejected in a heartbeat, and generally being portrayed as a clumsy oaf more often.
 * Cat Smile: a rare male example, as he is seen with one a few times in Steins;Gate 0.
 * Everyone Has Standards: Even he finds Okabe's repeated insistence that Ruka is a dude to be crossing the line!
 * Geeky Turn On: Has one when Okabe reverts back to his old self towards the end of Steins;Gate 0.
 * In-Series Nickname: Everybody calls him "Daru".
 * Leaning on the Fourth Wall: In the games specifically, Daru frequently references the fact that he is in a video game by wondering if his dialogue has triggered a flag for a character route. He even calls Mayuri's route in My Darling's Embrace "the childhood friend route".
 * Lovable Sex Maniac: Whenever a girl lets loose an Accidental Innuendo, he'll ask them to repeat it. He also insists on having all the technical stuff explained to him in terms of eroge.
 * Love At First Sight: Whether it's in the main series or in spin-offs, Daru's first time meeting Yuki Amane is this.
 * Megane
 * My Name Is Not Hakka: "It's HACKER! The way you say it makes no sense!"
 * Nice Guy: Despite his perverted nature, Daru is actually quite a friendly fellow who cares about his friends, and is generally very hard to anger.
 * Nice Hat: he is almost never seen not wearing it.
 * The Nicknamer: He's the only one besides Mayuri to call Okabe "Okarin", and the only one to consistently address the former as "Mayushii".
 * In 0, he loves to call Maho "Mini-Maho", mainly because he finds her short stature adorable.
 * OOC is Serious Business: Usually one to fall for Faris' charm, Daru gives her the cold shoulder during Suzuha's route in My Darling's Embrace because he has serious matters to deal with (to him at least), reducing Faris to tears as a result.
 * Otaku: 2-D girls are the only girls for him! Except when they aren't, of course. Prior to 0, Faris is the exception to this.
 * The Pervert: Oh very much so! It doesn't matter who is in his crosshairs, he'll crack a perverted joke or comment in their direction, including Ruka and even Suzuha.
 * Precision F-Strike: He is one of the only characters to drop an F-bomb in the whole series.
 * Rage Breaking Point: Episode 16 of 0: Daru gets so fed up with Okabe's abrasive attitude after the latter insults Maho one time too many that he outright punches his friend in the face, and delivering an awesome "It's Not Always About You!" type of speech.
 * Stalker with a Crush: Can be mistaken as such due to his obsession/infatuation with Faris.
 * Younger Than He Looks: You'd think Daru was in his mid-20's by how he acts, looks, and sounds, but you'd be wrong; he's 19, a year older than Okabe.
 * Stalker with a Crush: Can be mistaken as such due to his obsession/infatuation with Faris.
 * Younger Than He Looks: You'd think Daru was in his mid-20's by how he acts, looks, and sounds, but you'd be wrong; he's 19, a year older than Okabe.

Kurisu Makise
"Oh for the love of- Could you be any more of a Wesley?"

- Kurisu accidentally slipping internet slang into her dialogue

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. . To indulge her curiosity about the time machine, Okabe assigns her as Lab Member 004.


 * Abusive Parents/Parental Neglect: Kurisu's father keeps a distance from her, downright refusing to see her..
 * Accidental Innuendo: Subjects herself to these often, and it never ceases to embarrass her any time Okabe or Daru point it out.
 * Adaptation Dye Job: Kurisu's hair is brown in the original visual novel but has red hair in the anime.
 * Berserk Button: In one of the VN, she gets unreasonably irate when Faris alludes to her less-than-impressive bust when talking about her costumes potentially not fitting her.
 * Unflattering comments about her scrawny appearance will be met with threats to have your brain turned to pickle juice.
 * She also gets angry when someone eats her snacks, doubly so if her name is clearly written on it.
 * She hates being called a nerd.
 * Blue Eyes: Closer to violet, and they're pretty big, too. Okabe does comment on how beautiful her eyes are in the VN, making it one of the only times he has acknowledged some attraction to her.
 * Broken Bird
 * Can't Hold Her Liquor: In the film, it only takes one can of beer (which she doesn't even finish) to get Kurisu drunk off her ass.
 * Captain Ersatz: Looks very similar to Tsubaki Yayoi (anime only) in terms of appearance, she even has the same voice actor to boot!
 * Clingy Jealous Girl: has shades of this at times, particularly when it comes to Okabe's relationship with Mayuri. Specifically, in one of the spin-offs, she openly asks Okabe how he can be completely honest about everything with Mayuri, but turn up the theatrics with herself.
 * Closet Geek: She often quotes internet memes, denies being an OTP without any hesitation, and clearly knows what a "tsundere" is. She is quite the geek, but does a poor job hiding it.
 * Cool Big Sis: she acts this way towards Mayuri. Not only does she treat Mayuri with more respect than the guys, but she becomes concerned for her when Okabe becomes distant from her.
 * Cordon Bleugh Chef: As Suzuha puts it, her apple pie could be classified as a lethal weapon. Aside from that, she gets the idea to add pineapple to a curry that Faris was cooking up, only relenting when Okabe recalls a similar incident.
 * Crippling Overspecialization: Non-action variety. She took up maths and science from a young age, but sacrificed education in pretty much everything else to a point where even her social skills left a lot to be desired.
 * 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", reducing her to tears. This was out of relief when she realised he's being his goofy self and his anger wasn't genuine.
 * She has a more hilarious one at the end of Faris' route in My Darling's Embrace when she has a little too much fun with her Hell Maid schtick at MayQueen, only to discover that her colleagues in America saw the PV, and asked her to perform at college events with the cat maid costume (ears included).
 * Depending on the Artist: As mentioned under Adaption Dye Job, her hair is red in the anime as opposed to brown in the visual novels. She also has an average sized bust in the visual novels, but in the anime, she is noticeably flatter to where she can't even form a cleavage line.
 * Fiery Redhead: Only in the anime, and she has quite the temper to match.
 * Guilty Pleasure: Posting on 2channel, dropping internet slang, just to name a few. Often becomes embarrassed when Daru and Okarin points them out.
 * Hypocrite: In the 3rd Soumei Eichi no Cognitive Computing short, she criticises both Okabe and Daru for wearing the same clothes every day, but as Okabe points out, she is never seen wearing any other clothes besides her default outfit herself.
 * She is also in no position to make fun of Okabe for being a virgin after she accidentally outs herself as one too.
 * In the Sekimen Hissi no Gossip drama CD, she urges Daru to show his true self to his new girlfriend, yet she won't share her true self with Okabe, only alluding to an attraction after some prodding from Daru, Faris, and Moeka.
 * 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", and each one seems to piss her off in varying measures. She states that "The Zombie" is the nickname she hates the most.
 * Intelligence Equals Isolation: Prior to knowing Okabe and co., though not so much she isolates herself as others isolate her..
 * Irony: She hates being called "Christina", but "Kurisu" translates to "Chris" in English. For girls, "Chris" can be shorthand for "Christina".
 * Also hates being called a tsundere despite possessing all of the right qualities to qualify as such.
 * Jerkass: She has many shades of this at times, as she can be rude, defensive, and needlessly confrontational towards Okabe. In her defense though, he himself didn't exactly make a very good first impression with her.
 * Averted when she interacts with other females (and Ruka), particularly Mayuri.
 * Lethal Chef: Her apple pie is considered a lethal weapon.
 * My Name Is Not CHRISTINA!: That pretty much speaks for itself...
 * Oh Crap!: Her reaction every time she drops internet lingo into her dialogue. Also, when she unwittingly makes a sexual innuendo, and it's pointed out to her.
 * 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.
 * Posthumous Character: She is this in Steins;Gate 0, which takes place in the Beta world line where she was killed. Aside from Episode 8 when Okabe ends up back in the Alpha world line, she is only ever seen as an AI constructed from her memories, and in Maho's flashback scenes.
 * Red Headed Heroine: properly becomes one in the movie.
 * She's Got Legs: Though she's quite short (5' 3"), her legs are rather long, even being longer than her torso. They're also covered by black stockings and a pair of dark mini shorts.
 * Smug Smiler: One of her sprites in visual novels depicts her with a smug look on her face, coupled with a cheeky wink for good measure. For extra smugness, a similar sprite will depict the same expression with her arms folded, too.
 * 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.
 * Troll: At one point toys with Okabe by hanging up on him when he tries to call her until he talks to her in a more polite manner.
 * Tsundere: A hilariously stereotypical one, at that. Lampshaded by Daru, much to her dismay and denial. Since she likes to post on 2chan frequently, she should be at least aware of the characteristics of one.
 * Unkempt Beauty: She is no doubt easy on the eyes, but she also dresses like your average teenager with untied bootlaces, a tie that isn't done all the way up, long plain hair with little volume, and her jacket hangs below her shoulders.
 * Who Wears Short Shorts?: She wears a pair as part of her default attire.
 * Will They, or Won't They?: Shares this dynamic with Okarin.
 * Yandere: Just... Listen to this drama CD.
 * You Called Me "X" - It Must Be Serious: She is surprised when Okabe finally starts using her actual name. First time it happens, she almost gets teary-eyed from it. Clearly, she is genuinely touched by this gesture each time it occurs.
 * You Called Me "X" - It Must Be Serious: She is surprised when Okabe finally starts using her actual name. First time it happens, she almost gets teary-eyed from it. Clearly, she is genuinely touched by this gesture each time it occurs.

Moeka Kiryuu
"First off: You have access to knowledge you shouldn't have. Second: You built a time machine. And third: You intended to go public with it."

- Moeka's explanation of why she is targetting the Future Gadget Lab

A silent young woman who prefers to communicate through her cellphone. Seems to be searching the IBN 5100 as well. . She is designated Lab Member 005 when Okabe asks her to send the first D-mail.


 * Ambiguous Disorder: We don't know whether she has social anxiety or not, but years of being shunned by everyone around her certainly has not helped her in the slightest.
 * Attention Deficit Ooh Shiny: she has a very short attention span, judging by how she goes about cleaning her apartment. According to Okabe, it's quite the sight to behold!
 * Berserk Button: She is super attached to her mobile phone; try to snatch it from her, and she goes berserk until she retrieves it! Even offering to input your contact info for her causes her to get antsy.
 * Subverted in the sense that she isn't ruthless because she's trained to be a cold-hearted killer, but rather because her emotional vulnerability makes her easy to manipulate into doing other people's biddings.
 * Drunk Personality Change: Though we only see a flash of this in the movie, once she has had a couple, Moeka becomes a lot more lively compared to her usual reclusive self.
 * Dark and Troubled Past: She was the product of an unwanted pregnancy, thus was most likely subjected to a lot of abuse from her parents until they just abandoned her. She was also ostracized by her peers during high school, and even made attempts on her own life due to her sense of worthlessness. Her route in My Darling's Embrace explores this, as she mentions that she wanted to die in the past, her difficulties with socialising, before she tearfully acknowledges her feelings of worthlessness and why she feels that way to Okabe when he asks her directly why she runs away from people who do care about her.
 * Defrosting Ice Queen: Her route in My Darling's Embrace basically has Okabe trying to get her to open up about her feelings.
 * Does Not Like Spam: Apparently, she does not like macadamia nuts.
 * Emotionless Girl: She almost always wears a deadpan, blank, expressionless look on her face; her voice is equally deadpan, making it difficult to tell what she is feeling.
 * Foolish Sibling, Responsible Sibling: Along with Suzuha when the Lab Mems work at MayQueen in My Darling's Embrace. Moeka is the Clumsy Sister to Suzuha being the Responsible Sister.
 * The Glasses Come Off: She's missing her glasses when she reveals to the lab members that.
 * Heel-Face Turn: "The Quantum Awakening" in Linear Bounded Phenogram explores what would happen if Moeka made more of an effort to embrace the Lab Mems as her friends and realised sooner that FB was just using and manipulating her.
 * Hidden Depths: Despite her reclusive nature, she is quite the talented writer, having written many articles and even co-wrote a cell phone novel in MDE. Steins;Gate 0 also reveals that she is quite knowledgeable when it comes to classical music in Maho's route.
 * Heroic BSOD: Suffers a minor one in her route in My Darling's Embrace when she spots a mistake she made in the group's submission video for a music contest; she becomes fearful that the others would turn their backs on her, so much so that Okabe starts firing off multiple text messages out of concern for her emotional wellbeing.
 * I Just Want to Be Loved: Part of the reason she act like this is because she never got any love or affection from her parents. Hence the reason she gets so attached to FB the first moment they give her the positive affirmation she desperately craves.
 * The spin-off games explore this side of Moeka in thorough detail, particularly in her own episode in Linear Bounded Phenogram, "The Quantum Awakening". She is so desperate to please FB that she makes every excuse she can to push her friends away when they get close to her, until she understands how important friends are to where she has Okabe send a D-mail on her behalf to keep herself from ever becoming a Rounder in the first place.
 * My Darling's Embrace further delves into her background, which Okabe uses as the steppingstone to help her open up a little bit. With Tennouji being her legal guardian in that worldline, we get a better understanding of how Moeka functions as a person, and the positive impact Okabe and the rest of the Lab Mems have had on her emotionally. It is after she has a Heroic BSOD towards the end when Okabe asks her directly that she finally opens up to the emotional damage she suffered from, and the former's affirmation that people do care about her that she can begin to heal from it.
 * In-Series Nickname: Rintaro calls her "Shining Finger" because she can text someone lightning fast.
 * Innocent Fanservice Girl: Is blissfully unaware of how sexy she looks in lingerie, as she only chose it because it was easy to move around in for Faris' slumber party, which Maho herself lampshades. Doesn't stop Faris from getting touchy feely with her, though!
 * 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.
 * Beta Moeka isn't anywhere near as shy as she was in the Alpha world line, but she still speaks in short, fragmented sentences and still barrages Okabe with text messages, but in general, she is more talkative, and will actively help Okabe if he needs it. In the "Steins;Gate" world line, she almost never uses her phone to communicate and generally looks a lot happier, both of which carry over into the movie.
 * In fact, the only time we ever see her pull her phone out for any reason in the movie is at the beginning to show a text message Okabe sent her.
 * She is way more talkative in the Sekimen Hissi no Gossip drama CD as she is given more dialogue, and only sends Kurisu text messages a handful of times.
 * In her route, she talks a lot more when she is alone with Okabe, which Mr. Tennouji takes notice of.
 * Rapid-Fire Typing: Her one distinguishing skill in Okabe's eyes is that she can text a person in seconds, even with a phone that requires multiple key presses to get the letter she wants. It's the reason he calls her "Shining Finger". In fact, her lightning-fast text messaging becomes a plot point early on, in which she changes the contents of her D-mail so quickly that no one else in the room even notices.
 * In worldlines in which she actually is a writer, her quick fingers help her to write articles quickly. She is able to fix Daru's script and write an exposé of 4°C's business dealings within a 24 hour timeframe.
 * Rei Ayanami Expy: Has some shades.
 * Shrinking Violet: Incredibly shy to the point where she'd mostly communicate through rapid text messaging.
 * Signature Device: The phone she always has in her hand. Moeka is almost never seen without it, and as mentioned under Berserk Button, she becomes extremely angry if it's taken from her forcefully. She will however, hand it over if asked.
 * Suddenly Voiced: A downplayed example, since she speaks already; at the end of "Abduction Across Three Worlds", she arrives at the lab to pick up a sketchbook she bought online, but she uncharacteristically speaks in full sentences without issue.
 * Tall, Dark and Bishoujo
 * Taking the Bullet: Realising how much her new friends cared about her, she gets fatally wounded protecting them when her subordinates open fire on the lab at the end of "The Quantum Awakening".
 * Tickle Torture: She is subjected to this when Faris catches her smiling. The latter starts tickling her just to get another smile out of her.
 * When She Smiles: She gives a warm smile at the end of her route in My Darling's Embrace after she and Okabe become a couple.
 * Faris and Maho's antics in Steins;Gate 0/Episode 10 get a brief smile and a chuckle out of her, though she quickly tries to hide it. In the game, she bursts out of laughing at their antics, and cries from laughter when Faris starts tickling her.
 * Younger Than She Looks: You wouldn't be blamed for thinking she was older than just 20 years of age if she hadn't said so.
 * You Have Outlived Your Usefulness: She is shocked to learn that SERN higher ups will go out of their way to dispose of their subordinates once they stop being useful to them, starting by cutting off all contact, and then killing them (which is what happens to her). It is only then that she is remorseful for her actions and pleads for forgiveness.
 * Moeka is afraid of this trope in Steins;Gate 0. Learning about the potential of AI has led her to become fearful that technology will replace human workers in the future, but she already feels inadequate since she feels she doesn't have any special talents or unique skills, and she believes she can be easily replaced. After spending time with Maho however, she eventually snaps out of this mindset.

Ruka Urushibara
"Urushibara Ruka: Delicate as an orchid, fair as cherry blossom. The personification of feminine grace...and a dude."

- Okabe's description of Ruka

Mayuri's classmate, a crossdressing boy who works at his family's shrine. . He becomes Lab Member 006 after he asks Okabe if he can send a D-mail.


 * Ambiguously Gay: He has some pretty intense feelings towards Okabe which he lets slip on several occasions, even having his own route in My Darling's Embrace. It is unknown if he has romantic interest in any of the girls.
 * Bokukko
 * Butt Monkey: poor Ruka is reduced to this role in the My Darling's Embrace spin-off. Whether he is over-emotional about old fables, lets his feelings towards Okabe slip and the others catch on, or he finds himself in Okabe's crosshairs of whatever scheme he comes up with, Ruka just cannot catch a break.
 * Crossdresser: Often seen wearing outfits typically worn by girls, most likely due to his feminine appearance. As Okabe describes, he looks radiant in shrine vestments, but that's because his dad makes him wear them.
 * Crotch Grab Sex Check: Is a victim of this twice; once after he becomes a girl after sending a D-mail (with Okabe getting clocked for it), and again in My Darling's Embrace after Okabe moves to a world line where the two are a couple. Strangely enough, in the latter instance, Ruka admits to being fine with the act, though he wished it happened privately.
 * Cry Cute: Even cuter than Kurisu! Humorously, he gets super emotional when recounting an old fable surrounding Yanabayashi Shrine.
 * Dude Looks Like a Lady: "But... he's a guy!"
 * Extreme Doormat: Comes across as this sometimes, particularly when it comes to doing embarrassing stuff like cosplaying. He will only do such embarrassing things if Okabe either does it with him, or if other people suggest the latter does so.
 * : After sending his D-Mail,.
 * Hair Decorations: He has a hair clip with a purple skull on it... "But... he's a guy!"
 * Hidden Depths: In Steins;Gate 0, Ruka suddenly starts speaking to the professors in English. Though slightly broken (which can't be helped due to Kobayashi's native tongue), his English is surprisingly good.
 * I Want My Beloved to Be Happy: Despite his own infatuation with Okabe, and jealousy towards Mayuri, Ruka is more than content with the two people he cares about the most finding happiness together.
 * In-Series Nickname: "Rukako", used by Okabe, probably because it sounds more feminine to match his outward appearance.
 * Katanas Are Just Better: Okabe's primary method of toughening Ruka up is by having him swing a cheap katana on a daily basis. In 2036, Ruka has mastered this weapon, and becomes pretty badass with it.
 * Limited Wardrobe: Surprisingly averted. With the exception of Faris, Ruka is the only other character with more than one outfit, which he rotates quite often. This includes spin-off titles which add a few more outfits to his wardrobe.
 * Miko: Despite being male, Luka seems to work as the shrine miko anyway, which doesn't help when it comes to being recognized as male.
 * Oh Crap!: Pretty much his reaction when Daru suggests hiring male maids to work at MayQueen, knowing he was referring to him.
 * Later in that story, he has a similar reaction when Daru and Faris cast him in the lead role for the group's PV.
 * Out of Focus: He is for the most part, locked out of the loop in Steins;Gate 0. Despite the screen time he gets, he isn't given much involvement in the main plot, nor is he given much to assist the other characters. He had a similar problem in the original adaptation, but at least there, he got character development, helped Okabe grow as a character, and he got his own arc, of which he was the main focus. In 0, he is the only ally whom Okabe keeps his time travel escapades from, which Suzuha believes there is a reason for.
 * Purple Eyes
 * Running Gag: No matter how pretty he may look, Ruka.... is a dude!
 * Also messing up the password each time Okabe asks for it.
 * Running Gagged: In the end of his route in MDE, he finally gets Okabe's sign off right, and Okabe himself gets it wrong while trying to correct him.
 * 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.
 * Spell My Name with an "S": According to the creators, his name is Luka, but "Ruka" is more commonly used regardless due to the Japanese voice actors having difficulty pronouncing their Ls.

Faris NyanNyan/


Mayuri's coworker at the May Queen Cafe and the owner. She is also a skilled RaiNet player. . She is Lab Member 007, a designation Okabe reluctantly gives her when she wants to send a D-mail.


 * The Ace: A master of the board game Rai-Net Battle having played in over 400 unofficial matches without defeat. She is so good she could compete officially if she wanted.
 * As an In-Universe example of Real Life Writes the Plot however, school and work take precidence over tournaments.
 * Ambiguously Bi: An attraction to Okabe is implied due to her back and forth antics with his, and giving him a cuddle every now and then. That said, she does occasionally flirt with the other girls, even getting a little...playful with Moeka at one point.
 * Animal-Eared Headband: As part of her attire, she wears a headband with cat ears. She is almost never seen without them, even when she isn't at work. She has implied that they also enhance her hearing too, but whether that's true or not is unclear.
 * Her route in My Darling's Embrace reveals that the ears aren't actually part of a headband, but rather they are attached with hair clips.
 * She'll remove them when she wants to bear her soul to someone, when she's on a date, or she'll ask her lover to do the honors when she falls in love.
 * Animal Motifs: Clearly it's cats, given her cute and playful nature. She exhibits a lot of strange cat-like behaviours, including her verbal tic, and cute cat-like gestures. Then of course, there's her trademark cat ears that she almost never takes off.
 * Beat Them At Their Own Game: Does this with Okarin frequently, to his annoyance because she is so good at the theatrics and applying his ramblings to her own fantasies that he feels he cannot beat her. She is also unfazed by Okabe's (as Hououin Kyouma) attempts to emotionally manipulate her, which only frustrates him even more. He calls this "Dubbing 10".
 * Because You Were Nice to Me: After Okabe rescues her from a group of thugs, she allows him to call her by real name as a sign of gratitude and trust.
 * Bratty Half-Pint: Faris sometimes shows shades of this when she doesn't get what she wants, mainly when Okabe doesn't play along with her delusions. A more humorous example is when she runs up to a random person wearing an Upa costume, hugs them, and throws a tantrum when Suzuha drags her away.
 * Cold rejection though (as Daru once showed us) will really open up the waterworks for her.
 * Catgirl: Justified that she works as waitress in a cat themed maid café, which she also happens to own.
 * Cat Smile: Her default expression is a playful smile. Not so much in the anime adaptation of the original Steins;Gate, though it comes back in Steins;Gate 0.
 * Cloudcuckoolander: She is every bit as barmy as Okabe, but being quick witted has its advantages, since she will absorb his ramblings and add them to hers. Once she drops her mask however, she is much more elegant and soft-spoken, but she still retains a mischievous aura.
 * Colour Failure: During 0's Valentine's Day episode, the girls' attempt to make Valentine's Day chocolates ends in such a disaster that this happens to her.
 * Also happens to her butler, Kuroki, in Episode 10 after Maho (and later Moeka) turns her guest room into a rubbish tip.
 * Cry Cute:.
 * Does it again during Suzuha's route in My Darling's Embrace, which has Daru coldly brushing off her flirtatious advances, causing her to burst into tears.
 * Curtains Match the Window: Pink hair and pink eyes, though her eyes are closer to burgundy in the anime.
 * The Cutie: Particularly when she's into her stage persona, Faris NyanNyan. Even when she's not playing a character, she's still adorable. Her cat-like mannerisms certainly help, and her winter outfit in 0 makes her even cuter.
 * Foil: to her business rival, 4°C/Shido. Faris believes strongly in excellent customer service, treating her workers with love and respect, and making her establishment warm and inviting, while Shido only cares about profitability and will use any underhanded methods to achieve his goals.
 * Gamer Chick: Not just a fan of RaiNet Battle, but she's also a competitive player, and she's pretty damn good at it too it seems. She's also a huge fan of retro PCs.
 * Girlish Pigtails
 * Princess Curls
 * The Glomp: She glomps a random guy in an Upa costume when she overheats in Linear Bounded Phenogram. Does so to Okabe a few times in 0.
 * Hidden Buxom: Zigzagged: her casual attire hides her bust quite well, not so much with her maid uniform.
 * I Lied: During her route in My Darling's Embrace, she has a "spell" that makes Okabe fall in love with her if he hears her real name. By the end though, she admits that she lied about it, and confesses she's the one who falls in love with whoever calls her "Rumiho". By the sounds of it, she was waiting on Okabe specifically to do so.
 * In-Series Nickname: Faris Nyannyan is not her real name; it is simply a stage name she goes by in RaiNet tournaments, and while she's at work. Her actual name is a mystery to most. Calling her by her real name doesn't anger her in any way, but unless she gives you her full trust, she'd rather you call her Faris.
 * Large Ham: Faris loves her theatrics just as much as Okabe does, especially when they're talking to each other.
 * Living Lie Detector: She can spot whether a person is being dishonest or not simply by looking into their eyes. She calls this "Cheshire Break".
 * Meaningful Name: Her real name is
 * Since "Nyan Nyan" is Japanese for "meow meow", and she has a cat motif, her stage name also makes sense.
 * Meido: She works in, and owns the May Queen maid café. Need we to say more?
 * Moe: Only seems natural considering her influence on Moe culture in Akihabara. Her playful, energetic, and cutesy mannerisms only serve to reinforce this.
 * Never Live It Down: She has never forgiven herself since.
 * The Nicknamer: Likes to give her friends nicknames that have -nya/-meow worked in somehow, such as Moe-meow for Moeka, Suzu-meow for Suzuha, and so on, so forth. Except for Okabe, whom she almost always addresses as Kyouma unless he objects to it.
 * Otaku: Loves anime, moe, and otaku culture, even dressing as a stereotypical anime character.
 * Precision F-Strike: The usually cheery and playful Faris outright calls Shido a bastard when talking about his underhanded/law breaking business tactics. A surprising moment since Faris very, very rarely shows her anger and frustration in front of anyone.
 * Rapunzel Hair: The only time we see her with her hair down is in Steins;Gate 0 when she falls asleep after her all girls slumber party in Episode 10. Given how long her hair is even when tied into twintails, it's no surprise that it's really long untied.
 * Rose-Haired Girl: Her energetic, playful attitude and pink hair matching is quite possibly not a coincidence at all: as much as she loves anime culture and considering the otherwise natural-ish hair colors, it could be dyed. Even so, given that the characters of Chaos;Child have brightly coloured hair, and given that that series takes place in the same universe as Steins;Gate, it is possible that pink could well be Faris' natural hair colour (maybe).
 * Given that her hair and eyebrows are the same colour, this lends more credence to a natural hair colour rather than dyed.
 * Say My Name: During her route in My Darling's Embrace, she reveals to Okabe that she'll fall in love with the boy who calls her by her real name, "Rumiho". She pleads with him to do the honours, having admitted to waiting for him specifically.
 * Serious Business: She takes off the cat ears when she wants to be serious. She also drops her energetic mannerisms during more her more personal moments (see Episode 17, and her route in My Darling's Embrace). For some reason, she doesn't wear them when she arrives at the lab at the start of the movie.
 * Signature Moves: She has made up a couple of her own signature techniques, including:
 * "Cheshire Break" (see Living Lie Detector)
 * "Mixy Mix Gaze" (charms her guests by gazing into their eyes while flawlessly mixing their drink)
 * "The Touch" (can make a man melt in her arms by wrapping herself around theirs)
 * "Hearing Inferno" (enhanced hearing)
 * Spell My Name with an "S": "Faris" is apparently the official spelling, but "Feiris" and "Feyris" also see heavy use. Mayuri even calls her "Feris-chan" in Japanese.
 * Suspiciously Similar Outfit: Both she and Suzuha wear identical form-fitting cat suits in her episode - "Superhero Chat Noir" - that bear a striking resemblance to an alternate costume a certain gravity shifting super heroine can wear in another video game.
 * Teens Are Short: Even at 17 years old, Faris is tiny, only measuring 4' 7 '' in height; to give you perspective, the top of her head doesn't even reach Okabe's shoulders (and he isn't even 6 foot).
 * Third-Person Person: Like Mayuri, Faris frequently talks in the third person.
 * True Companions: Faris, along with Ruka, are both this to Okabe after Daru reveals that they had been looking after him while he was comatose.
 * Tomboy and Girly Girl: She and Mayuri are the Girly Girls, while Suzuha is the Tomboy. Faris takes it further by expecting the guys to respect her privacy when it comes to her D-mail, like most girls do.
 * Verbal Tic: She even ends her sentences with "-nya". In English, it's "meow" instead.
 * Tomboy and Girly Girl: She and Mayuri are the Girly Girls, while Suzuha is the Tomboy. Faris takes it further by expecting the guys to respect her privacy when it comes to her D-mail, like most girls do.
 * Verbal Tic: She even ends her sentences with "-nya". In English, it's "meow" instead.

Suzuha Amane
"HEY YOU GUUUYYYYSSS!!! Sorry, that's how the kids are saying "What's up!" these days."

- Suzuha's introductory dialogue

A teen girl who works at Mr. Braun's shop. Likes to ride her bicycle and gets along very well with Nae, Mr. Braun's daughter. . After spending some time bonding with Okabe, she becomes Lab Member 008.

"Suzuha:I can't believe you said "Word to your Mother" to this guy, you freak!"
 * Action Girl: Part of Okabe's reason for appointing her as "Part-Time Warrior" is because she more or less describes herself as the latter. However, calling herself a warrior might've given away a little too much about her true identity.
 * Armor-Piercing Slap: Kurisu's constant attempts to avoid appealing to her emotions pisses off Suzuha enough for the latter to dish one of these out.
 * Bare Your Midriff: Beneath her jacket, she wears a cropped undershirt, which she forced to walk around in for a day after her "seduction technique" to distract Mr. Braun while the Lab mems perform a time leap backfires.
 * Her cosplay outfit also shows off her mid-section quite well when she first attends ComiMa.
 * Braids of Action/Tomboyish Sidetails: Always sports these. The only time we see her without them is in 0 when they come undone after
 * Captain Obvious Reveal: In the movie, specifically. They hide her identity for a bit by hiding her face and putting a filter over her voice, but when she enters Kurisu's hotel room to give her cryptic advice, the film makes little effort to hide her, thanks to her familiar braids, and Cherami Leigh's natural voice.
 * Cat Smile: often has one in the VN's, like Mayuri and Faris. Fittingly enough, she takes a job at MayQueen in My Darling's Embrace if the player pursues Faris' route.
 * The Cutie: Not to the same extent as Mayuri or Faris, but she does have her moments of cuteness.
 * Death Glare: Shoots one at Kurisu every time their eyes meet during the first half of the anime.
 * The Determinator
 * Exposition Fairy: Her role in the second act is just to bring us, the viewer, up to speed on what's at stake in regards to the whole 1% divergence barrier ordeal. She is this in the few scenes in which she appears in the film, too.
 * Eyes of Gold: just like Okarin, her eyes are yellow. They aren't related though.
 * Fanservice: Her first time trying out cosplay has her wearing a cute and showy outfit during her route in My Darling's Embrace. Then there's an extremely form fitting cat suit that Mayuri made for her and Faris in Linear Bounded Phenogram.
 * Though she doesn't join Okabe and company at the local swimming pool, there is artwork of Suzuha wearing a two-piece swimsuit (which can be viewed in My Darling's Embrace's CG Library).
 * Foil: Her Alpha and Beta selves are this to each other; Alpha Suzuha is outgoing, curious, cheery, and energetic. Beta Suzuha is more serious, focused, and stubborn.
 * Also to her Omega self, who is more carefree, emotional, and kind of bratty.
 * Foolish Sibling, Responsible Sibling: Along with Moeka when the Lab Mems work at MayQueen in My Darling's Embrace. Suzuha plays the Responsible Sister, while Moeka is the Clumsy Sister.
 * Full-Name Basis: In Japanese, she addresses her peers by their full names for reasons unknown.
 * In-Series Nickname: Rintaro calls her "Part-Time Warrior".
 * Male Gaze: In both Steins;Gate and Steins;Gate 0, Suzuha is subjected to quite a few booty shots. See the cat suit in Fairs' episode in Linear Bounded Phenogram.
 * Mundane Made Awesome: Despite being 18 years old, Suzuha treats even the most trivial things as if it's a grand discovery, even corn on the cob. This may allude that she.
 * New Job as the Plot Demands: She has taken jobs as a retail assistant, security guard, a waitress, and a stall staffer. What she does depends on what the story is.
 * Rewatch Bonus: A lot of Suzuha's early appearances in the beginning of the series make a lot more sense in context upon repeated viewings.
 * Shout-Out: The very first thing she says is a reference to a certain scene in The Goonies.
 * Slacker: Much to Mr. Braun's annoyance, Suzuha tends to slack off from her work.
 * Talking to Herself: In Linear Bounded Phenogram, she seeks advice and comfort from her alternate selves. Only she can see them.
 * Tomboy and Girly Girl: She is more Tomboy-ish compared to the other girls, but she has shades of both characteristics. Omega Suzuha is 100% a Girly Girl.
 * Totally Radical: Suzuha often speaks like this. Hell, first thing she says (in Japanese) is "Oha!!", a salutation that was considered to be dated by the 2000's. Another allusion to her true past, maybe?
 * Tragic Keepsake: She keeps a badge that her dad gave her; the only thing she has that reminds her of him.
 * Walking Spoiler: It isn't easy talking about her without spoiling major lore and plot details. This applies to Steins;Gate 0 as well, in which her Beta self is treated as a separate character.
 * What the Hell, Hero?: Is visibly weirded out by Okabe's bizarre attempts to speak jive/gratuitous English.

 * Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Even though Rintaro gets on his nerves, he actually likes him.
