Higurashi no Naku Koro ni/Characters: Difference between revisions

** Note that in the VN version of Meakashi-hen, this was never implied, nor did it ever happen. {{spoiler|She already knew she was cornered, and just tased Keiichi and went off switch with Mion one last time.}}

* {{spoiler|[[The Atoner]]: After realizing what she did in the Eye Opening Arc, she becomes especially aggressive in protecting Satako in later arcs.}}

* [[Cain and Abel]]: The Cain versus Mion. {{spoiler|Though not as much as you are led to believe, since Mion and Shion genuinely love each other.}}

* [[Cold-Blooded Torture]]: Her MO. Ironically, she was the victim of it herself.

* [[Foreshadowing]]: From Frederica Bernkastel's poem in ''Meakashi-hen'': "How many years will pass before she wonders if she really dropped them?"

* [[Future Badass]]: In the manga- only arc Yoigoshi-hen. However, {{spoiler|She was being possessed by Mion, making ''her'' the true badass despite the staggering disadvantage of being ''dead''}}.

* [[Green-Eyed Monster]]: {{spoiler|Normally suppressed, but she has some resentment for Mion because the boy she can still see the boy she likes.}}

* {{spoiler|[[Ignored Epiphany]]}}: Her reaction to realizing she just {{spoiler|crucified Satoko}} was, number one: {{spoiler|wetting herself}}. Number two: Saying "Oh, what the hell". In the VN, it's expanded upon: {{spoiler|She realizes that she forgot her promise to Satoshi, it's just that she felt it was already too late to atone, and she had no choice but to continue what she was doing.}}

* [[Laughing Mad]] :In Meakashi and Watanagashi.

* {{spoiler|[[Love Makes You Crazy]] [[Love Makes You Evil|And Evil]]}} : ''Meakashi-hen''. Enough said.

* {{spoiler|[[My God, What Have I Done?]]: After torturing Satoko to death she remembers that Satoshi asked her to take care of his little sister and that while she gave up on Satoshi coming back and went for revenge, Satoko never lost faith. Has a straight example in the Massacre chapter after recalling what she did.}}

* [[Off to Boarding School]]

* [[The Unfavorite]]: As the younger twin, she is denied any family privilege. Especially painful because {{spoiler|she is really the older twin, and thus should be the Sonozaki heir}}. However, it seems that for the most part she doesn't entirely mind because it's not very fun having the responsibilities of the Sonozaki heir.

* [[Unreliable Expositor]]: Like a lot of the cast are at varying points. However, this is specifically referring to {{spoiler|almost the entirety of what she says at the end of ''Watanagashi'' being bullshit.}}

* [[Weapon of Choice]]: {{spoiler|A taser, as well as the contents of the Sonozaki family's torture cellar. She also knows how to handle an ''assault rifle''.}}

* [[Violently Protective Girlfriend]]: '''GOOD''' '''''GOD'''''.

* {{spoiler|[[Karma Houdini]]}}: Hello, {{spoiler|she tries to kill an entire village over and over again, and what does she get? Treatment for a disease that it wasn't well-established she had and a good cry in her lover's arms. While in that chapter she didn't manage to kill anyone, she's still responsible for Rika's parents, the first murderer and generally being a sociopathtic researcher}}.

* [[Lack of Empathy]]

* {{spoiler|[[Milkman Conspiracy]]}}- {{spoiler|[[Big Bad]] or not}} she's still just a nurse when it comes down to it.

* [[Nay Theist]]: Highly disparaging of the local religion. She actually hates God despite appearing to be a Christian.

* [[Asshole Victim]]: {{spoiler|In Tatarigoroshi and Tsumihoroboshi. Also in the [[PlayStation 2]] Exorcism chapter.}}

* [[Blonde Guys Are Evil]]

* [[Evil Uncle]]: to Satoko and Satoshi. He's not even their real uncle. His older brother was their stepfather.

* [[Kick the Son of a Bitch]]: Frequent target of it.

Nomura is a woman from the organization 'Tokyo'. {{spoiler|She first appears after Koizumi dies in 1981 and confronts Takano Miyo about the future of her research on the Hinamizawa Syndrome.Her true motive is to have the Old Koizumi faction in Tokyo fall down due to the Great Hinamizawa Disaster and the research project becoming a mess afterwards along with wanting to see how far they can decieve people with the syndrome, real or not. She is shown to be a skilled manipulator of emotions, using Takano's grief and acting as though she understands in order to gain her trust and become the new backing up of the research institution.}}

* {{spoiler|[[Karma Houdini]]: Lampshaded in the author's notes at the end of the game, saying you have to draw the line somewhere on where the story ends. Thus, she is never held responsible for her actions and in the vast majority of timelines succeeds entirely.}}

* {{spoiler|[[Man Behind the Man|Woman Behind The Woman]]:To Miyo Takano}}
