Katawa Shoujo/Characters: Difference between revisions

{{quote|"Adolescence is a funny time…"}}

* [[Everybody Hates Mathematics]]: She says math and science are her worst subjects, although considering that we never see her scores and she's Class Representative, it's unclear how much difficulty she has with them.

* [[Feminine Women Can Cook]]: Akira notes that Lilly used to cook for her.

* [[Gainaxing]]: Barely noticeable, but she gets some in her introductory FMV.

* {{spoiler|[[The McCoy]]}}: {{spoiler|1=To Shizune's [[The Spock|Spock]] on the Student Council before she left; their falling-out and current feud is more or less what happens when a Spock and a McCoy just have Misha instead of a Kirk to mediate between them.}}

* [[Meaningful Name]]: Lilly's name apparently comes from the lily (百合), or [[Romantic Two-Girl Friendship|yuri]].

* [[Must Have Caffeine]]: Lilly casually mentions she's addicted to caffeine on account of all the tea she drinks. She's also…

* [[Not a Morning Person]]: See above.

** Probably justified, since no matter how many shades you open or how sunny it is outside, the light isn't going to bother her, due to her blindness.

* {{spoiler|[[Not So Fast Bucko]]:}} {{spoiler|Inverted.}} The {{spoiler|Good}} Ending plays out exactly like the {{spoiler|Bad}} Ending, except the former has {{spoiler|a few extra scenes.}}

* [[Onee-Sama]]: The shy and meek Hanako seems to think of Lilly as this, and the protagonist begins to as well.

* [[OOC Is Serious Business]]: {{spoiler|In the [[Precision F-Strike]] incident, Hisao notices that she's angry in a way she has never been before, not even around Shizune}}.

* {{spoiler|[[Parental Abandonment]]}}: {{spoiler|Both of her parents live in Scotland. Akira feels that their parents have basically abandoned them and is very bitter about it.}}

* [[Phenotype Stereotype]]

* [[Pride]]: Hisao notes that she has this at times, especially in her efforts to keep composure.

* {{spoiler|[[Put on a Bus]]}}: {{spoiler|In Hanako's route, she goes to Scotland for a while, and is not back by the end of the route. This also happens in her own route, but...}}

** {{spoiler|[[The Bus Came Back]]}}: {{spoiler|She comes back from Scotland midway through Act 3}}

* {{spoiler|[[Race For Your Love]]}}: {{spoiler|In Lilly's good ending, Hisao tries to catch up with Lilly before she boards a plane for Scotland, never to return. His efforts earn him another heart attack and another trip to the hospital, but it pays off.}}

* [[She's Got Legs]]: Which Hisao gets a good look at when she wears her pajamas.

* [[Ambiguous Disorder]]: Due to her odd behavior, some fans have suggested she may be in the autism spectrum.

* [[Buffy-Speak]]: Rin's preferred method of conveying ideas that she can't quite put into words.

{{quote|'''Rin:''' A lot of things. And some not-things. Unthings. I don't think that's a word.}}

* {{spoiler|[[Lonely Rich Kid]]}}

* [[Manipulative Bitch]]: In her defense, Hisao is probably giving her too much credit and most of her plans succeed completely by chance. Although he does point out there is something suspicious about someone whose favorite game is [[Risk]]. Misha says that while Shizune can be manipulative, she often does so without realizing it.

* [[Meaningful Name]]: Shizune is [静音] (quiet + sound).

** Her original development name was "Rosa", partially from the Japanese word for "deaf" (''rousha'').

* [[Meganekko]]: Subverts the sweet and innocent personality.

** Heck, she's one step away from being a [[Bespectacled Bastard Boyfriend|Bespectacled Bastard Girlfriend]]; while she is not actively malicious, her cold, controlling personality {{spoiler|and her dominant sexual tendencies}} fit much more closely with this kind of glasses-wearer.

* {{spoiler|[[Non-Idle Rich]]}}: {{spoiler|During her Good Ending, she decides to become a philanthropist after she leaves school, using her family's wealth to help make others happy.}}

* [[OOC Is Serious Business]]: In Lilly's route, after finding out that Hisao and Lilly are a couple, she merely tells him that who he dates is his own business, then signs something to Misha, but tells her not to translate it. Hisao notices that it's unusual that she would pull punches in such a way, and it may be related to {{spoiler|her and Lilly's later reconciliation}}.

* [[Big Beautiful Woman]]: At least in comparison to the other girls, she's got a bit more meat on her bones. {{spoiler|Her sex scene shows that she's got pretty big breasts abd a little pudge on her belly and legs, specially her hips and thighs.}}

* [[Book Dumb]]: Possibly; she's not entirely stupid, but seems to have the most trouble with academics.

* [[Club Stub]]: The ''only'' other member of the Student Council aside from Shizune.

* [[Completely Unnecessary Translator]]: Early in Shizune's route, Hisao knows sign language, and Misha knows that Hisao knows sign language, but he still has her translate for him because he doesn't want Shizune to know that he knows sign language until he becomes proficient in it. Unbeknownst to him, Misha has told Shizune about his efforts.

* [[Did I Just Say That Out Loud?]]/[[I'll Never Tell You What I'm Telling You]]/[[Could Say It, But...]]: She occasionally says things she's not supposed to while translating, sometimes with a lampshade, sometimes not. Sometimes deliberate, sometimes by accident. Maybe, it's hard to tell, as she's smarter than she appears. Hisao wonders at one point if she does this so that people who can hear but not understand sign language are not excluded

* [[Does Not Understand Sarcasm]]: She doesn't seem to pick up on when Shizune's being sarcastic even when it's obvious from the words alone even with Misha's cheerful delivery.

* {{spoiler|[[Expository Hairstyle Change]]}}: {{spoiler|Loses her [[Drill Hair]] in the later part of Shizune's route, replacing it with a tomboyish haircut and a heart-shaped hairdec}}.

* [[Foil]]: To Hanako. Hanako is [[Shrinking Violet|withdrawn, timid]] and sensitive to social cues, while Misha is [[Genki Girl|outgoing, energetic]] and blind to subtle cues.

* [[Gainaxing]]: Watch her chest in the FMV introducing Act 2 of Shizune's route.

* {{spoiler|[[Matchmaker Crush]]}}: {{spoiler|She aids Hisao and Shizune to get together... because she loves Shizune and wants her to be happy. It doesn't work that way.}}

* [[The McCoy]]

* [[The Nicknamer]]:

** [[Japanese Honorifics]]: Refers to almost all of her friends as "-chan": "Shicchan" (Shizune), "Hicchan" (Hisao), "Yucchan" (Yuuko).
