Yume Miru Kusuri/Characters: Difference between revisions

=== Kagami Kouhei ===

{{quote| ''"I live the same day every day. I go to school. I go back home."''}}

 

The protagonist of the story, just an ordinary student. He works hard to get good grades and not stand out, but this plan doesn't work too well once he meets the three heroines. Kouhei's parents died when he was young because of some unspecified incident, and he was adopted as a Kagami since the Kagami family were friends of his parents. However, he still feels like he doesn't belong very well.

=== Shiraki Aeka ===

{{quote| ''"Please take the loneliness away for just a little while..."''}}

 

A girl in Kouhei's class. She was socially ostracized shortly after she transferred in because of an unknowing offense to Kyoka, and is now viciously bullied every single day; the roof of the school building is her only real refuge. Her way of thinking is a little strange, but she and Kouhei have a number of pleasant conversations and she seems to be a very kind girl. If the player chooses her route, she is revealed to be intensely depressed and considering suicide; Kouhei is her only reason for not going through with it yet. As her route progresses, she's also revealed to have a deeply hidden dark side, along with troubles at home.

=== Kirimiya Mizuki ===

{{quote| ''"Emotions are a physical thing. Shouting feels good. So does shedding tears."''}}

 

The [[Student Council President]]; a student in the year above Kouhei's. She and Kouhei first met when he had to get some papers from the student council room and found her trying out her dad's cigarettes, and during the game she decides to forcibly recruit him as a helper. If the player goes along with it, she eventually winds up having sex with Kouhei when her normal reward of choice, cake, isn't available. ("Well, don't they say that girls are made of sugar and spice?") From then on, her route is filled with forcing her duties onto Kouhei and sexually harassing him; it eventually becomes clear that Mizuki is hooked on pleasure-seeking behavior because {{spoiler|she has no sense of her own future}}. During her route, {{spoiler|she gets pregnant, which should not surprise anyone considering how much unprotected sex she and Kouhei have}}. Kouhei's family disapprove of her at first.

=== Cat Sidhe Nekoko ({{spoiler|Sakurai Hiroko}}) ===

{{quote| ''"A thank-you blessing from the fairy!"''}}

 

A strange girl who Kouhei meets in the back alley behind the store he works at. She endears herself to him by begging for food, disrupting his life at every opportunity, and in her own route, dragging him along on her personal quest. She claims to be a fairy, and is searching for the "fairy world" armed with a cattle prod and a complete lack of common sense; Kouhei is annoyed and fascinated by her in turns. Eventually, though, it's revealed that Nekoko's weird manic energy comes from a [[Fantastic Drug]] she's addicted to, and Kouhei is left trying to find a way to make her stop taking it.

=== Kagami Aya ===

{{quote| ''"Underneath that front of yours, you're really complicated."''}}

 

Kouhei's adopted little sister, who he teases mercilessly (she teases him right back). She's the source of a few [[Author Filibuster]] rants, and tends to be very concerned for her brother's well-being. Out of the heroines, she only really approves of Aeka (at least at first).

=== Nanjou Kyoka (Antoinette) ===

{{quote| ''"You look preoccupied. I'm really worried about you."''}}

 

A popular girl in Kouhei's class. She seems to have the hots for him and is constantly asking him out, but he dislikes her attitude and mentally calls her Antoinette (after... well, [[Marie Antoinette|guess]]). She controls most of the girls in the class, and directs them (and many of the guys) to bully Aeka, who she hates because her boyfriend hit on her. Kyoka acts very cutesy around Kouhei, but as the story progresses, she starts showing a very ugly side. When she's angry, she talks in the extremely-manly pidgin Japanese that changes the ''ii'' sounds at the end of words to ''ee'', unusual for a female character.

=== Tsubaki Hirofumi ===

{{quote| ''"Way to go! You definitely got her scenario!"''}}

 

Kouhei's sempai at work. Very, very, ''very'' gay and very VERY into Kouhei, although his flirting makes Kouhei nervous. Hirofumi also happens to be a devoted eroge (particularly [[Utsuge]]) otaku, which leads Kouhei to mentally nickname him "ero-''gay''". (This was changed to "gay puff" in Peach Princess' localization, since they translated "eroge" as "porn games", and the pun was lost.) He delivers a few [[Author Filibuster]] speeches, and advises Kouhei on his troubles in Aeka and Nekoko's routes.
