A 16-year-old high school student and Okabe's childhood friend. She works at May Queen and is also a cosplay designer. {{spoiler|She's killed in most timelines, often by Moeka}}.
----
* [[Berserk Button]]: Downplayed to the extreme possible degree here. Mayuri is aware that she isn't particularly bright, but she doesn't like when others belittle her intelligence, nor when they play up her ditziness.
* [[Big Ol' Eyebrows]]: You can just about see them beneath her fringe. No one ever comments on them though.
**The most fury she exhibits though is akin to ''"I find that rather offensive! Hmmph!"''
* [[Big Ol' Eyebrows]]: You can just about see them beneath her fringe. No one ever comments on them though.
*[[Break the Cutie]]: Very much so.
* [[Catch Phrase]]: Her "Tuturu~" whenever she greets someone.
* [[Cat Smile]]: Justified that she work as a waitress in a cat themed maid cafecafé. 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]]: EasilyWhether theyou mostlike adorableher memberor ofnot, Futurethere Gadgetis Labno 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.
* [[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 is adorable.
Line 62 ⟶ 64:
* [[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.
* {{spoiler|[[Kill the Cutie]]: ''Many times''. Okabe went through many timelines to try to save her, but the few times he did ended badly for Kurisu}}.
*[[Meido]]: While she's at work. She also wears a blonde wig styled into a ponytail while on the clock.
* [[Nice Hat]]: Almost always wears a wide brimmed, frilly looking blue hat.
*[[She Cleans Up Nicely]]: Dowplayed, since she's already rather pretty to belong with, but nevertheless, she becomes even more beautiful when preparing for her photoshoot in her route in ''My Darling's Embrace'',
Line 70 ⟶ 73:
 
==Kurisu Makise ==
[[File:114399_4218.jpg|frame|'''Voiced by:''' [[Asami Imai]] (JP), Trina Nishimura (EN)]]
{{quote|''Oh for the love of- Could you be any more of a Wesley?''|Kurisu accidentally slipping internet slang into her dialogue}}
{{quote|'''Voiced by:''' [[Asami Imai]] (JP), Trina Nishimura (EN)}}
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. {{spoiler|In the final chapters, Okabe has to save her from being stabbed to death by her father. She falls in love with Okabe, and kisses him after listening to his confession}}.
----
Line 103 ⟶ 106:
* [[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.
* [[Redheaded Hero|Red Headed Heroine]]: properly becomes one in the movie.
* {{spoiler|[[Sobriquet]]: "Mother of Time Machine", in the future where SERN rules}}.
* [[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.
* [[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 [[Finishing Move|supers]].

==Itaru Hashida/Daru ==
{{quote|''Can you say "You just wanna see me eat a banana" again, please? Only in a more whispered tone?|One of many examples of Daru asking for a repeat of a Double Entendre}}

{{quote|'''Voiced by:''' [[AsamiTomokazu ImaiSeki]] (JP), TrinaTyson NishimuraRinehart (EN)}}
 
Okabe's best friend and a hacker. {{spoiler|He's Suzuha's father, but he isn't aware of this fact until she leaves}}.
----
* [[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.
* {{spoiler|[[Future Badass]]: He leads the terrorist organization against SERN after Okabe dies in 2025, and manages to create another time machine (it's not complete like Kurisu's though), which he leaves for his daughter}}.
*[[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".
* [[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.
Line 129 ⟶ 138:
* [[Megane]]
* [[My Name Is Not Durwood|My Name Is Not Hakka]]: "It's '''HACKER'''! The way you say it makes no sense!"
* [[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".
* [[Otaku]]: 2-D girls are the only girls for him! Except when they aren't, of course.
*[[Out-of-Character is Serious Business|OOC is Serious Business]]: Usually one to fall under Faris' spell, Daru gives her the cold shoulder during Suzuha's route in ''My Darling's Embrace'' because he has serious matters to deal with, 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.
*[[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.
* [[Younger Than They Look|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.
 
Line 136 ⟶ 148:
[[File:rukako_3830.jpg|frame]]
{{quote|'''Voiced by:''' [[Yuu Kobayashi]] (JP), Lindsay Seidel (EN)}}
Mayuri's classmate, a [[Dropped a Bridget On Him|crossdressercrossdressing boy]] who works at his family's shrine. {{spoiler|His family owns the IBN 5100 left by Suzu Hashida, but loses it in following timelines after he sends his D-Mail and becomes a girl. He is the second character that remembers things from other timelines}}.
----
* {{spoiler|[[A-Cup Angst]]: Gets this when he turns into a girl but retains the same appearance}}.
* [[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.
* [[Cry Cute]]: Even cuter than Kurisu!
* [[Dude Looks Like a Lady]]: "But... he's a guy!"
* {{spoiler|[[Gender Bender]]}}: After sending his D-Mail, {{spoiler|he becomes a full-fledged female in the following timelines}}.
* [[Hair Decorations]]: He has a hair clip with a purple skull on it... "But... he's a guy!"
* [[In-Series Nickname]]: "Rukako", used by Okabe.
* [[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.
Line 150 ⟶ 164:
*[[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 {{spoiler|he was male and told Okabe he didn't like him that way}}, 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.
Line 167 ⟶ 182:
*
* {{spoiler|[[Driven to Suicide]]: ''Twice''. The first was four years prior, only to be stopped when she received FB's first message. The second is on the timeline after Ruka undoes the effects of her D-Mail, as she hasn't received any messages from FB}}.
*[[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 ''MyDarling'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 {{spoiler|she's an SERN agent}}.
*[[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.
* [[In-Series Nickname]]: Rintaro calls her [[Mobile Fighter G Gundam|"Shining Finger"]] because she can text someone lightning fast.
Line 176 ⟶ 193:
* [[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.
**Gradually downplayed as she becomes more talkative by the time the movie comes around, and in ''0'' she is less dependent on her phone, is more chatty, and will actually speak to her comrades over the phone instead of just texting them. She still rarely raises her voice and still speaks in short, fragmented sentences, but it is clear that Beta Moeka is not as shy as Alpha Moeka.
***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.
Line 187 ⟶ 204:
 
==Suzuha Amane ==
[[File:113764_4425.jpg|frame|'''Voiced by:''' [[Yukari Tamura]] (JP), Cherami Leigh (EN)]]
{{quote|''HEY YOU GUUUYYYYSSS!!! Sorry, I thought that's the trendy way of saying "How's it goin' these days."''|Suzuha's introductory dialogue}}
{{quote|'''Voiced by:''' [[Yukari Tamura]] (JP), Cherami Leigh (EN)}}
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. {{spoiler|She's actually a member of the future [[La Résistance]] against SERN, and has traveled to past to meet with her father Itaru, a creator of the time traveling machine. She then travels back to [[The Seventies]] and leaves the IBN 5100 in the Urushibara shrine}}.
----
* [[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.
*[[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.
* [[Braids of Action]]/[[Tomboyish Sidetails]]: Always sports these. The only time we see her without them is in ''0'' when they come undone after {{Spoiler|a vicious fight with Kagari.}}
Line 197 ⟶ 215:
*[[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.
* [[The Determinator]]
* {{spoiler|[[Driven to Suicide]]: In some timelines, her older self committed suicide after giving an apology letter to Mr. Braun directed to Okabe. In others, she passes away due to illness}}.
* [[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 thing. 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.
*[[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.
*[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/FullNameBasis [Full -Name Basis]]: In Japanese, she addresses her peers by their full names for reasons unknown.
* {{spoiler|1=[[Gender Flip]]/[[Samus Is a Girl]]: She is John Titor}}.
* [[In-Series Nickname]]: Rintaro calls her "Part-Time Warrior".
Line 208 ⟶ 226:
*[[Male Gaze]]: In both ''Steins;Gate'' and ''Steins;Gate 0'', Suzuha is subjected to quite a few booty shots.
* [[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 {{Spoiler|isn't from this time period}}.
*[[New Job|New Job as the Plot Demands]]: She has taken jobs as a retail assistant, security guard, a waitress, and a stall operator. What she does depends on what the story is.
*{{spoiler|[[Ret-Gone]]}}
*[[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.
Line 214 ⟶ 232:
* [[Tomboy and Girly Girl]]: She is the Tomboy while Mayuri and Faris are the Girly Girls.
* [[Totally Radical]]: Suzuha often speaks like this. Hell, first thing she says (in Japanese) is "Oha!!", a greeting that was considered to be dated by the 2000's. Another allusion to her true past, maybe?
* [[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 seperate character.
* [[What the Hell, Hero?]]: Is visibly weirded out by Okabe's bizarre attempts to speak jive/gratuitous English.
{{Quote|'''Suzuha:'''''I can't believe you said "Word to your Mother" to this guy, you freak!''}}{{break}}
Line 230 ⟶ 248:
* [[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.
* [[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.
*[[Color Failure|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.
* [[Cry Cute]]: {{spoiler|When she decides to undo the effects of her D-Mail}}.
Line 260 ⟶ 278:
**"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.
*[[Teens Are Short]]: At 4' 7<nowiki>''</nowiki>, Faris is very shortpetite even for a 17 year old; even Mayuri (who is only 5' 0<nowiki>''</nowiki> herself) overshadows her.
*[[Third-Person Person]]: Like Mayuri, Faris frequently talks in the third person.
*[[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.
