Clannad (visual novel)/Characters: Difference between revisions

{{work}}

 

 

 

== Tomoya Okazaki ==

[[File:tomoya_clannad.jpg|frame]]

 

The protagonist of the series. Due to his habit of always arriving late to school, skipping classes during the day, and staying out all night, he has been labeled as a [[Delinquents|delinquent]], or a young person who defies authority. Nevertheless, his actions end up changing everyone else's life for the better.

* [[Chick Magnet]]: Just about every girl we meet is in love with him, whether actively pursuing him or quietly suffering or somewhere in between. Even though he's purportedly a [[Delinquents|delinquent]], his ardent admirers include a [[Student Council President]], two [[Class Representative|Class Representatives]], and a [[Teen Genius]] / [[TV Genius]].

* [[Cool Loser]]: The [[Anime]] seems conflicted as to how much it wants him to fit the trope. For whatever reason, he's an astounding [[Chick Magnet]], and for whatever reason, he seems to have an enormously positive impact on every girl he befriends. Nevertheless, people keep calling him a loser -- especially in the ''Tomoyo Arc'' [[Alternate Universe]].** He also falls more into actual loser status after he graduates from high school; his nearly superhuman ability to fix every problem essentially evaporates, and he goes from an "[[Ordinary High School Student]]" to a genuinely ordinary person. (Not to say he becomes boring; quite the contrary, he becomes more [[Truth in Television|plausible]].)

* [[Curtains Match the Window]]: Depending on the lighting, he often has [[Blue Eyes]] and [[You Gotta Have Blue Hair|blue hair]].

* [[Deadpan Snarker]]

* {{spoiler|[[Death by Despair]]}}: [[Jossed]]/[[Subverted Trope|Subverted]] in the [[Grand Finale]].

* [[Delinquents]]: He periodically attempts to reform, under the influence of Nagisa (in the main series) or Tomoyo (in the [[Alternate Universe|Tomoyo arc]]).

* [[Fan Nickname]]: Clannadman. Nagisa is his "Waifu". Together, they are known as, "Clannadman and his waifu."

* [[Faux Yay]]: Okazaki's intent when he tells Nagisa that Youhei Sunohara has a crush on him, to obscure the real reason Sunohara is throwing himself into a basketball-related [[Xanatos Roulette]].

* [[Heroic BSOD]]: {{spoiler|After Nagisa's death, Tomoya falls into such a deep and long-lasting depression that he essentially ignores his own daughter -- ''for five years''. Fortunately, Akio and especially Samae were around to pick up the slack -- and also to coax Tomoya back to life.}}

* [[Hey, It's That Voice!|Hey, It's That Voice]]: [[Two Words: Obvious Trope|Four Words]]: '''[[Mobile Suit Gundam 00|GUNDAM I LOVE YOU!!!]]'''

* {{spoiler|[[Hot Dad]]: In the continuities where he ends up with Nagisa.}}

* [[Imagine Spot]]: Many and varied.

* [[Stepford Smiler]]: The casual behavior might fool the watcher/reader for awhile, but it becomes clear over time that he's basically starting the story in despair.

* [[Team Dad]]: Has his moments, which isn't surprising, considering his status as a sane man in a flock of [[Cloudcuckoolander|CloudCuckoolanders]].

* [[Tragic Dream]]: Was a star of the Basketball team until a shoulder injury resulted in him losing the ability to play, which is what resulted in him becoming a [[Delinquent]].

* [[Trickster Archetype]]

 

-----

== Nagisa Furukawa ==

[[File:nagisa_clannad.jpg|frame]]

 

 

Later becomes {{spoiler|Tomoya's wife and mother to Ushio}}.

** Tomoya is her "Clannadman"

*** Together, they are known as, "Clannadman and his waifu"

* [[First Girl Wins]]: Especially in the [[Anime]], although the game leans that way as well.

** Game or [[Anime]], more than half the plot is dedicated to her. She is Tomoya's true love after all.

** {{spoiler|[[Housewife]]: Tomoya's.}}

* [[Hey, It's That Voice!|Hey, It's That Voice]]: ''Hauu!~ Omochikaeri!!'' and ''USO DA!!''. Yep, she's Rena Ryuugu from ''[[Higurashi no Naku Koro ni]]''.

** On the dub side..."[[Princess Tutu|Quack!]]"

* {{spoiler|[[Hot Mom]]: When she ends up with Tomoya and gives birth to their child, Ushio.}}

* [[Official Couple]]: The hill she and Tomoya climb on the way to school in the first episode is an allegory to their growing relationship. They met amid [[Cherry Blossoms]] blowing in [[Dramatic Wind]] as her hair rippled out behind her. And just in case that's too subtle, the anime abruptly shifts from [[Deliberately Monochrome]] to brilliant colors [[Love At First Sight|when their gazes meet]]. [[What Do You Mean Its Not Symbolic]]?

* [[Older Than They Look]]: Mild example... for now. Her look and childish demeanor makes her seem like the youngest of the group, when in fact she is the oldest, having had to repeat her senior year. {{spoiler|Twice.}} She is one year older than Tomoya, Kyou, Ryou, Kotomi and Sunohara, two years older than Tomoyo and Yukine. Of course, considering who her parents are, there's a very good chance she'll fully belong in this trope when she gets older. Any bets on whether she gets mistaken for {{spoiler|Ushio}}'s older sister?

* [[Running Gag]]: Many. For starters, her obsession with food -- especially odango. And that odango song, which is so [[Tear Jerker|poignant]] in the [[Crowning Music of Awesome|soundtrack]] and yet so hilarious [[Theme Tune Cameo|whenever she sings it]].

* [[Shrinking Violet]]: The [[Kyoto Animation]] version definitely is, though over the course of the series, she becomes less of one.

== Kyou Fujibayashi ==

[[File:kyou_clannad.jpg|frame]]

 

[[Class Representative]] of 3-E, Kyou has known both Tomoya and Sunohara since their junior year. Known for being overprotective of both Botan and her sister Ryou, she is known for literally [[Throw the Book At Them|throwing the book at them]].

* [[Shipper on Deck]]: Though she shows interest in Tomoya herself, she spends a lot of time trying to get him together with Ryou. {{spoiler|at least until she realizes that Tomoya has already chosen Nagisa.}}

* [[Ship Tease]]: With plenty of characters -- and a few [[Team Pet|animals]] -- but most of all with Tomoya.

'''Tomoya:''' [[Completely Missing the Point|I'm going to take a nap.]]<br />

'''Kyou:''' You are really rude. }}

* [[Sibling Yin-Yang]]: With Ryou.

* [[Team Mom]]: Sometimes, especially in episode 10 and 11.

* [[Team Pet]]: No, she ''isn't'' one, but she ''has'' one: Button / Botan (ボタン), her pet baby boar, which keeps following her to school.

== Kotomi Ichinose ==

[[File:kotomi_clannad.jpg|frame]]

 

Kotomi is a [[Strange Girl]]: she has [[No Social Skills]] and is [[Shrinking Violet|fearful and asocial]]. Generally she is [[The Quiet One|silent]]. She squirrels herself away [[Bookworm|in the school library]] -- she is always kneeling on the library floor, reading. ''Absorbing'' [[Teen Genius|several pages of abstruse text per minute]].

As it turns out, Kotomi was Tomoya's childhood friend. He has forgotten her, although she has not forgotten him. Her parents, important academics, were always too busy to attend her birthday when she was a child. Before one fateful birthday, they made a promise to attend and give her a teddy bear, but they died in a plane crash before that could happen. The mysterious man in black is actually a friend of her father's, the one who informed her of her parents' death -- an association that causes her fear of him years later.

 

 

 

------

Tropes associated with Kotomi:

* [[First Girl Wins]]: Not in the [[Anime]], but a possible ending in the [[Visual Novel]]. (Note: even in the [[Anime]], she's the First Girl if you go by in-universe chronology.)

* [[Foot Focus]]

* [[Fragile Flower]]: She asks nervously if someone's a bully.

* [[Freak-Out]]: Experiences a serious one when she thinks Ryou was involved in a bus accident. Has a [[Heroic BSOD]] that lasts at least a week, and several episodes. {{spoiler|It's because she's reminded of her parents' death.}}

* [[No Social Skills]]: A [[The Quiet One|quiet]] and [[The Messiah|polite]] [[Bookworm]] version.

* [[Purple Eyes]]

* {{spoiler|[[Room Full of Crazy]]: One bedroom in her house is full of newspaper stuff about her parents's deaths in a plane crash.}}

* [[Running Gag]]: A few that are borderline [[Catch Phrase|catch phrases]]. 1) "Hello Tomoya-kun." 2) "''Ijimekko''?" ("(Is she a) bully?") In addition, several that are more situation-based, such as her [[Dreadful Musician|terrible violin skills.]]

== Tomoyo Sakagami ==

[[File:tomoyo_clannad.jpg|frame]]

 

A [[Even the Girls Want Her|beautiful]] [[Delinquents|delinquent]] who has attained [[Memetic Badass|legendary status]] as a [[Action Girl|fighter]]. Tomoyo [[Defrosting Ice Queen|at first is a rough, cold-hearted girl]] who delivers the frustration of her messed up family that almost considered divorcing by fighting and hurting other people. That changed when her little brother Takafumi, in a desperate attempt to fix things up, either threw himself to the river or gets himself into a car crash, ending up crippled and instantly mending the family and softens up Tomoyo. She later hears her brother's wish to see the sakura tree, and made it her mission to preserve those trees. She later attends at Tomoya's school and starts out by driving out some delinquents that threaten the school, and later spends her time not only to become the [[Student Council President]] (the only position where she can issue orders to preserve the sakura tree), also kicking Sunohara's butt whenever he pisses her off (and repeatedly). After much hardships of winning the students' hearts and cleans up her delinquent status, she is elected as the [[Student Council President]], and continues to be friends with the ones who help her doing so: Tomoya.

* [[Student Council President]]

* [[Sugar and Ice Personality]]: Tough, distant and [[Badass Adorable|Kickass]] at times (but more cool-headed compared to Kyou), and then affectionate at other times.

* [[Teen Genius]]: At least in her [[Alternate Universe]] arc, in which she scores fourth in her year for all of Japan on her exams. Note that this is less than a year after she decided to clean up her image, after being something of a borderline delinquent for the previous few years.

* [[Tomboy and Girly Girl]]: The tomboy when paired with... well... [[Moe|pretty much any other girl in the franchise]]. (Except Misae.)

== Fuko Ibuki ==

[[File:fuko_clannad.jpg|frame]]

 

A rather strange, short girl, who never seems to take classes and is often to be found sitting somewhere quiet carving wooden star shapes. A rumor about her being a ghost is floating about the school, and she has a tendency to force her carvings on any student she meets, requesting that in return they attend her elder sister's wedding and congratulate her.

Tropes associated with Fuko:

 

* [[Boke and Tsukkomi Routine]]: A little bit, with Tomoya.

* [[Bratty Half-Pint]]

* [[Children Are Innocent]]: She ought to be way too old to fit the trope. But she certainly [[Older Than They Look|looks]] and [[Bratty Half-Pint|acts]] like a child.

* [[Class Representative]]: Not in temperament; she's just given the title. And it's not even for a real class.

* [[Cute Ghost Girl]]: Is mistaken for one. {{spoiler|She's not far off.}}

* [[Cuteness Overload]]: Periodically goes into lapses of this when exposed to starfish {{spoiler|and Ushio}}, prompting Tomoya to squirt fruit juice up her nose to snap her out of it...and [[For the Lulz]].

* [[Expy]]: Plot-wise, she is an [[Expy]] of [[Kanon|Ayu Tsukimiya]].

* [[Eyes of Gold]]

* [[Ill Girl]]: {{spoiler|She's actually ''comatose'', and the Fuko we meet is a sort-of astral projection}}.

* [[I'm Taking Her Home with Me]]: Fuko says she wants to do this to {{spoiler|little Ushio-chan, Tomoya's daughter}}, to be her little sister. (Not only ''says'' this, but keeps trying to kidnap her.)

* [[Line-of-Sight Name]]: Fuko pulls this when she needs a fake last name while staying with the Furukawas.

* [[Mood Swinger]]

* [[Spell My Name with an "S"]]: Fuko vs. Fuuko. Although the former is used in the opening credits, some prefer to use the latter due to wanting to stick with one romanization system. <ref>"Kyo" and "Fuko" would be written with bars over the o and u respectively, or with no bars at all in one system. In the second system, the girls names would be spelled like "Kyou" and "Fuuko."</ref>

* [[Technicolor Eyes]]: Amber or gold.

 

-----

== Ryou Fujibayashi ==

[[File:ryou_clannad.jpg|frame]]

 

The younger and more timid of the Fujibayashi twins. Is the class representative of her room, but only won it through lottery rather then through actual voting. Is known for telling fortunes of anyone who asks her. Her fortunes are always complex and usually completely off the mark, though she can be eerily accurate at times. Though she is usually wrong, she believes that it would be better for the future not to be already set. She has a crush on Tomoya in the beginning and enlists Kyou's help, or rather, Kyou insists on helping her.

* [[Captain Ersatz]]: Of [[Lucky Star|Tsukasa Hiiragi]], and by extension, of [[To Heart|Akari Kamigishi]]. Note that her boyfriend in the [[Visual Novel]], {{spoiler|Kappei}}, has Hiiragi as his surname. [[Epileptic Trees]], anyone?

* [[Catgirl]]: Her hair has cat ear-like waves in it (as does her sister Kyou's). See also [[Anime Hair]], above.

* [[Cleaning Up Romantic Loose Ends]]: The Kyou epilogue notes that she started dating someone she met at the hospital who has a cute face, meaning that she likely hooked up with Kappei.

* [[Demoted to Extra]]: She's not an official haremette, and picking her over Kyou in the [[Visual Novel]] is a Bad End, since you don't {{spoiler|obtain a Light Orb}}.

** That's not really a bad end, it just means it's pointless to finish her route if you're going for After Story. It could be considered a bad end if the entire thing is considered Kyou's route, but even then it's hardly ''bad.''

 

-----

== Youhei Sunohara ==

[[File:youhei_clannad.jpg|frame]]

 

Tomoya's best buddy and fellow delinquent. Generally a dim but lovable fellow. Makes for a great punching bag. Well, it tends to be kicks, really.

* [[Butt Monkey]]: Pretty much every time Sunohara shows up, you can be guaranteed that someone is going to deliver him a [[Megaton Punch]] or [[Punched Across the Room|kick him across the room]] by the end of the scene.

** [[Lampshade Hanging|Lampshaded]] by Tomoyo at one point in the [[Visual Novel]].

** [[Iron Butt Monkey]]: It is quite a wonder how he could take over the top physical abuses (Mostly by Kyou, Tomoyo, Misae, and Akio) and walk away like nothing happened when you would expected him to be carried away on a stretcher. He shouldn't be alive, actually considering that the rest of the cast is much more fragile.

* [[Casanova Wannabe]]

* [[Gratuitous English]]: His English is so bad he says "Rezombie" instead of "Revenge".

** ''I am pretty dog. Thank you, my friend from New York!''

* [[Hair of Gold]]: [[Justified]] in that he dyed it when he joined the soccer team and {{spoiler|became a self-absorbed [[Jerk Jock]]}}. His natural hair color is dark.

* [[Heterosexual Life Partners]]: Seems to have been this with Tomoya -- until Nagisa and the [[Unwanted Harem|Half-wanted Harem]] appear on the scene.

* [[Screams Like a Little Girl]]: Quite often, especially in the [[Visual Novel]].

* [[Sibling Yin-Yang]]: With Mei.

* [[Those Two Guys]]: He's only one guy, and the other guy he hangs out with is [[The Hero]], so he's really a sidekick rather than an example of this trope. Nevertheless, worth mentioning because he's such a [[Captain Ersatz]] fusion of [[Those Two Guys]] from [[Haruhi Suzumiya]]. (Note: this is true only in the tv series; in [[The Movie]], he's more of a standard best friend/sidekick.)

* [[Tragic Dream]]: Wanted to be a soccer player. Bad things happened. For the most part, played for laughs.

== Mei Sunohara ==

[[File:mei_clannad.jpg|frame]]

 

Youhei Sunohara's little sister.

* [[The Messiah]]: Possibly. Probably not one of the more extreme examples in a series full of messiahs, though.

* [[Playing Cyrano]]: Plays cupid to Tomoya and Nagisa in the [[Omake]] summer episode of season one.

* [[Sibling Yin-Yang]]: With Youhei.

* [[Wise Beyond Their Years]]: Although also [[Children Are Innocent]].

 

== Sanae Furukawa ==

[[File:SanaeFurukawa.jpg|frame]]

 

Nagisa's mother, {{spoiler|an ex-teacher}} who runs a bakery alongside her husband, Akio. Sanae is always trying to make new bread with unique properties (i.e. bread with rice crackers inside) although almost none of them turn out to be successful. She is very sensitive and cries easily especially when she is told her bread tastes bad.

* [[Hair Antennae]]

* [[Happily Married]]

* [[Hot Shounen Mom]]: Observed and [[Lampshade Hanging|lampshaded]] to high heaven in episode two of ''After Story''.

* [[Hot Teacher]]: During her very brief stint as a teacher. (She was also a teacher long before the series takes place.)

* [[Kawaiiko]]: She's so cute!! [[I'm Taking Her Home with Me|Can I take her home with me...]] Oh wait, Akio is [[Right Behind Me]], right... [[Oh Crap]]...

* [[Lethal Chef]]: Her bread is lethally bad tasting enough, but whatever you do, please do '''not''' spread [[Mythology Gag|her friend's]] [[Kanon|"ultimate jam"]] over it. Just ''dont.''

* [[Older Than They Look]]: She looks about twenty-five, but her daughter Nagisa is eighteen or nineteen. In-universe, people are far more likely to ask if she's Nagisa's sister than if she's her mother. In one episode, while in a [[Paper-Thin Disguise]], she passes herself off as seventeen.

* [[Paper-Thin Disguise]]: When she dresses up as a seventeen year old, no one recognizes her. (Well, except for her husband Akio.)

 

-----

[[File:akio.jpg|frame]]

 

Nagisa's dad. Although he often talks and plays rough, he is kind and sympathetic. His childish side makes it easy for people to befriend him. He {{spoiler|used to be an actor}}, now runs the Furukawa Bakery with his wife Sanae. In his spare time, Akio plays baseball with children in the small park next to the bakery, and indulges in the [[Gundam]] fandom.

** And a [[Miracle Train|Train Station]]!

** Captain Kuchiki Byakuya in ''[[Bleach]]''

** Which in itself is an [[Actor Allusion]].

* [[Hot Dad]]: {{spoiler|After Ushio's birth, also a Hot Grandpa.}}

* [[Jerk with a Heart of Gold]]

* [[Large Ham]]: {{spoiler|Well, he ''was'' an actor before becoming a baker.}}

* [[Older Than They Look]]: Shares this with his wife, Sanae. He looks like a handsome thirty -- possibly even younger -- but given that his daughter Nagisa is eighteen or nineteen at the beginning of the series, that's hardly likely.

* [[Paper-Thin Disguise]]: Definitely. Although not quite as paper thin (nor as successful) as his wife Sanae's disguise.

 

-----

== Minor Characters ==

[[File:kouko_clannad.jpg|frame]]

 

An art teacher until Nagisa's first senior year. She retired afterwards, and got married to Yuusuke Yoshino.

------

* [[Chekhov's Gunman]]: Her first appearance, when she walks into the bakery, has a generic character feel. It isn't until two episodes later, when Toyoma runs into her again, where we realize that brief scene introduced an important character.

* [[Hey, It's That Voice!|Hey, It's That Voice]]: In addition to being a retired art teacher, she is [[Hayate the Combat Butler|Yukariko Sanzenin]] and [[Kanon|Akiko Minase]].

** Yawara from [[Yawara]], a show not very well known in the West but very very popular in Japan, and not just among otakus.

* [[Informed Attractiveness]]: She's very pretty, but since she's in a series utterly ''flooded'' with exceptionally [[Moe]] characters, it seems odd when Tomoya (in his guise as the show's [[Narrator]]) tells us how beautiful she is.

* [[Power Hair]]

 

[[File:misae_clannad.jpg|frame]]

 

Landlady at the school's student dorm. Has her own mini-route in the game, wherein Tomoya falls in love with her after hanging out in her room whenever he has a chance.

* [[Bi the Way]]: Not really -- most likely -- but a bit of a [[Running Gag]] in the [[Flash Back]] to her high school days.

* [[Boobs of Steel]]

* [[Cannot Spit It Out]]: A [[Subverted Trope]], in that she likely would have no trouble expressing her feelings for the boy in question -- {{spoiler|except, as it turns out, the boy she likes already has a girlfriend, and he goes out of his way to cut off Misae's potential [[Love Confession|Love Confessions]]. The boy does this to spare Misae potential embarrassment -- or at least, that's how he and his girlfriend choose to view his actions. Misae's friends have less generous opinions of his behavior.}}

* [[Catgirl]]: Not literally. But in temperament, she has both the kittenish side and the cat side down pat. See also [[Cute Little Fangs]], [[Hair Decorations]], and {{spoiler|[[Interspecies Romance]]}}.

* [[Cool Big Sis]]: She's awesome, especially when dealing with the troublemakers under her supervision in the boys' dorm, including not only the [[Jerk Jock|Rugby Club]] and but also [[Delinquents|Sunohara]].

* [[Cute Little Fangs]]: Sometimes when she's angry, but also sometimes when playing happily with her cat.

* [[Genki Girl]]: When she was in high school. Liberally mixed with [[Tsundere]].

* [[Hair Decorations]]: In the [[Flash Back|flashbacks]] to her high school days, she wears a ribbon that looks almost like [[Cat Ears]]. Which is completely appropriate, given who she winds up with at the festival. (Worth noting: that same basic ribbon, with those same implied [[Cat Ears]], turns up on several other girls over the course of the series. But it never looks as thoroughly catlike as it does on her.)

* [[Wrestler in All of Us]]: Tomoya advises her to use wrestling moves to punish the boys she oversees in the dorm, and she often demonstrates them on the [[Butt Monkey|unfortunate]] Sunohara. Eventually, a [[Flash Back]] reveals that she's been using these moves since her high school days.

* [[You Gotta Have Blue Hair]]

 

[[File:yukine_clannad.jpg|frame]]

 

Yukine is a second year student who hangs around in the library's reference room.

* [[Just Friends]]: In the Yukine route in the VN, Tomoya worries that he might have friendzoned himself {{spoiler|by becoming Yukine's brother surrogate.}}

* [[The Messiah]]

* [[Team Mom]]: To both of the city's rival gangs.

* [[Teen Genius]]: We don't know much about her academic abilities, but she's a [[Bookworm]]; she's entrusted with the maintainance of the school's second library (the main library being the provinence of indisputable [[Teen Genius]] Kotomi); she's skilled enough at healing to be to the go-to-"doctor" for both the rival gangs in town; she's able to broker truces between said groups without outside assistance (most of the time); and she's in some ways the wisest character in the whole series, especially when it comes to relationships. All at age sixteen.

* [[Wise Beyond Their Years]]: Too old to really fit the trope. But still. Yeah. Waaay beyond her years. Especially noticeable in a series full of [[Cloudcuckoolander|cloudcuckoolanders]].

* [[You Gotta Have Blue Hair]]: Gray-yellow, depending on the light. Presumably intended to be blonde, but it's definitely not [[Hair of Gold]], at least not compared with Youhei. (Then again, he admits his hair is dyed.)

 

 

Senior teacher and one-time advisor of the Drama and Chorus Clubs. Booked the school for Kouko and Yuusuke's wedding. Officiated at Nagisa's "graduation" ceremony.

* [[Smarter Than You Look]]

 

[[File:yoshino_clannad.jpg|frame]]

 

A former rock star / singer / writer turned electrician.

* [[Nice Guy]]

* [[Sex, Drugs and Rock and Roll]]: Developed a heroin habit during his [[Creator Breakdown]].

 

[[File:Kappei.jpg|frame]]

 

A young man who is traveling around. His goal in life is to "live like a man."

-----

* [[Cross-Dressing Voices]]

* [[Dude Looks Like a Lady]]: Confused the hell out of Tomoya until he told him his decidedly masculine name.

* [[Tragic Dream]]: Wanted to become a track athlete {{spoiler|but has leg cancer. He refuses to let go of his dream, even when the disease becomes life-threatening and there are no options other than amputation of his leg.}}

* [[Unsettling Gender Reveal]]

 

[[File:naoyuki_clannad.jpg|frame]]

 

-----

* [[Eyes Always Shut]]: Although they do open on occasion.

* [[Perpetual Smiler]]

** [[Stepford Smiler]]

 

[[File:ushio_clannad.jpg|frame]]

 

-----

* [[Cheerful Child]]: Which doesn't, of course, preclude her from being a [[Woobie]] -- not in this series.

* [[Free-Range Children]]

* [[Generation Xerox]]: Physically, she's exactly like her mother, except she has no Furukawa‎-clan [[Hair Antennae]] -- after all, technically she's an Okazaki. She is also unusually well-mannered, loves the Big Dango Family and also loves playing with the dango plushies. She is also an...

* [[Ill Girl]]: She takes after her mother in this regard. {{spoiler|At least in the reality where both she and Nagisa die. In the reality where everyone lives, Tomoya outright states that Ushio is quite healthy}}.

* [[Raised by Grandparents]]: {{spoiler|Until Tomoya takes her in.}}

* [[Theme Naming]]: {{spoiler|"Ushio" means "tide." "Nagisa," her mother's name, mean "shore."}} An [[Invoked Trope]].

* {{spoiler|[[Too Good for This Sinful Earth]]}}: Well, {{spoiler|in at least one universe}}, anyway.

 

 

Tomoya's grandmother, whom he meets when he and Ushio go on a road trip.

* [[Mr. Exposition|Mrs. Exposition]]: She tells Tomoya about his father's true intentions, about how he {{spoiler|sacrificed his chances at a good life so he could properly raise Tomoya}}.

 

== The Illusionary World ==

[[File:girl_illusionary.jpg|frame]]

 

She is actually {{spoiler|Ushio Okazaki after her death, having lost her memories of her brief life with her father Tomoya. She regains them as she dies in the Illusionary World and she releases the light orbs for Tomoya to use so that he could save Nagisa, herself, and himself from their cursed fate.}}

* [[Identity Amnesia]]

* [[Woman in White]]

 

[[File:garbage_doll.jpg|frame]]

 

The doll is actually {{spoiler|Tomoya Okazaki after his death, and after losing his memories of his life. When his daughter Ushio -- his sole reason for going to the Illusionary World -- dies there, he returns to the real world, having released the light orbs. The light orbs allow him to initiate a [[Time Skip]] wherein Nagisa survives giving birth to Ushio. After that, they all live happily ever after.}}

* [[Identity Amnesia]]

* [[Tin Can Robot]]

 

Tropes associated with other characters:

 

* [[Catgirl]]: [[Punny Name|Kats]]umi Shima, when Misae's friends [[Wholesome Crossdresser|dress him up as a girl]]. His hair has the same cat ears that Kyou and Ryou have.

* [[Ill Girl|Ill Boy]]: Tomoyo's little brother, Takafumi Sakagami. {{spoiler|Also, the original}} Katsumi Shima.

* [[Jerkass]] / [[Jerk Jock]]: The members of the soccer team. On occasion, and to a much lesser extent, the members of the rugby team.

* [[Wholesome Crossdresser]]: Katsuki Shima.
