The protagonist, an 18-year-old 1st-year college student and leader of the Future Gadget Laboratory. {{spoiler|He is the first in the series to be conscious of the timeline changes, an ability he calls "Reading Steiner"}}.
----
Line 51 ⟶ 52:
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 most extreme possible degree here.
**Mayuri is aware that she isn't particularly bright, but she doesn't like when others belittle her intelligence so blantantly, 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.
*[[Break the Cutie]]: Very much so.
Line 85 ⟶ 86:
*[[Berserk Button]]: In one of the VN, she gets unreasonably irate when Faris alludes to her less-than-impressive bust when talking about her costumes potentially not fitting her.
**Unflattering comments about her appearance with be met with threats to have your brain turned to pickle juice.
*[[Blue Eyes]]:
*[[Broken Bird]]
*[[Can't Hold Her Liquor]]: In the film, it only takes one can of beer (which she doesn't even finish) to get Kurisu drunk off her ass.
Line 97 ⟶ 98:
* [[Fiery Redhead]]: Only in the anime, and she has quite the temper to match.
* [[Guilty Pleasure]]: Posting on 2channel, dropping internet slang, just to name a few. Often becomes embarrassed when Daru and Okarin points them out.
* [[Hypocrite]]: In the 3rd ''Soumei Eichi no Cognitive Computing'' short, she criticises both Okabe and Daru for wearing the same clothes every day, but as Okabe points out, she is never seen wearing any other clothes besides her default outfit herself.
** She is also in no position to
**In the ''Sekimen Hissi no Gossip'' drama CD, she urges Daru to show his true self to his new girlfriend, yet she won't share her true self with Okabe, only alluding to an attraction after some prodding from Daru, Faris, and Moeka.
* [[In-Series Nickname]]: Multiple nicknames used by Okabe, mainly "Christina". There's also "The Zombie" or simply "Assistant"; there was also the short lived "Celebrity 7" or "Celeb-7", and each one seems to piss her off in varying measures. She states that "The Zombie" is the nickname she hates the most.
* [[Intelligence Equals Isolation]]: Prior to knowing Okabe and co., though not so much she isolates herself as others isolate her. {{spoiler|Her dad no longer wants to see her after she disproved his theory at the age of eleven, and her co-workers are mostly scientist with big egos, who are jealous of her due to her young age. In one fairly comical scene between herself, Daru and Okabe, she unintentionally reveals she's a virgin and has never been on a date}}.
*[[Irony]]: She hates being called "Christina", but "Kurisu" translates to "Chris" in English. For girls, "Chris" can be shorthand for "Christina".
**Also hates being called a tsundere despite possessing all of the right qualities to qualify as such.
* [[Jerkass]]: She has many shades of this at times, as she can be rude, defensive, and needlessly confrontational towards Okabe. In her defense though, he himself didn't exactly make a very good first impression with her.
**Averted when she interacts with other females ([[My Friends and Zoidberg|and Ruka]]), particularly Mayuri.
Line 142 ⟶ 144:
* [[Megane]]
* [[My Name Is Not Durwood|My Name Is Not Hakka]]: "It's '''HACKER'''! The way you say it makes no sense!"
*[[Nice Guy]]: Despite his perverted nature, Daru is actually quite a friendly fellow who cares about his friends, and is generally very hard to anger.
* [[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".
*[[Out-of-Character is Serious Business|OOC is Serious Business]]: Usually one to fall
* [[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.
Line 165 ⟶ 168:
* [[In-Series Nickname]]: "Rukako", used by Okabe.
*[[Katanas Are Just Better]]: Okabe's primary method of toughening Ruka up is by having him swing a cheap katana on a daily basis. In 2036, Ruka has mastered this weapon, and becomes pretty badass with it.
*[[Limited Wardrobe]]: Surprisingly averted. With the exception of Faris, Ruka is the only other character with more than one outfit, which he rotates quite often. This includes spin-off titles which add a few more outfits to his wardrobe.
* [[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.
*[[Out of Focus]]: He is for the most part, locked out of the loop in ''Steins;Gate 0''. Despite the screentime he gets, he isn't given much involvement in the main plot, nor is he given much to assist the other characters. He had a similar problem in the original adaptation, but at least there, he got character development, helped Okabe grow as a character, and he got his own arc, of which he was the main focus. In ''0,'' he is the only ally that Okabe keeps his time travel escapades from, which Suzuha believes there is a reason for.
Line 178 ⟶ 182:
==Moeka Kiryuu ==
[[File:moebitch_1091.jpg|frame|'''Voiced by:''' [[Saori Goto]] (JP), Jessica Cavanagh (EN)]]
{{quote|''First: You built a time machine. Second: You have access to information you shouldn't have. And third: You intended to go public with it.''|Moeka's explanation of she is targetting the Future Gadget Lab}}
A silent young woman who prefers to communicate through her cellphone. Seems to be searching the IBN 5100 as well. {{spoiler|She works for a man named FB, and will do anything he orders}}.
----
* [[Ambiguous Disorder]]: We don't know whether she has social anxiety or not, but years of being shunned by everyone around her certainly has not helped her in the slightest.
*
*[[Berserk Button]]: She is super attached to her mobile phone; try to snatch it from her, and she goes berserk until she retrieves it! Even offering to input your contact info for her causes her to get antsy.
*{{spoiler|[[Bitch in Sheep's Clothing]]}}
Line 219 ⟶ 224:
*[[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.
**Her cosplay outfit also shows off her mid-section quite well when she first attends ComiMa.
* [[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.}}
*[[Captain Obvious Reveal]]: In the movie, specifically. They hide her face for a while, but when she enters Kurisu's hotel room to give her cryptic advice, we see her shadow with braided sidetails, and Cherami Leigh's voice is briefly unfiltered, both making it painfully obvious that yes, it's her.
Line 227 ⟶ 233:
* [[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.
*[[Fanservice]]: Her first time trying out cosplay has her wearing a cute, but also revealing outfit during her oute in ''My Darling's Embrace.''
*[[Foil]]: Her Alpha and Beta selves are this to each other; Alpha Suzuha is outgoing, curious, cheery, and energetic. Beta Suzuha is more serious, foucsed, and stubborn.
*[[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.
Line 235 ⟶ 242:
*[[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 as the Plot Demands]]: She has taken jobs as a retail assistant, security guard, a waitress, and a stall
*{{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.
*[[Shout-Out]]: The very first thing she says is a reference to a certain scene in ''The Goonies''.
* [[Slacker]]: Much to Mr. Braun's annoyance, Suzuha tends to slack off from her work.
*[[Talking to Herself]]: In ''Linear Bounded Phenogram,'' she seeks advice and comfort from her alternate selves. Only she can see them.
* [[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?
Line 250 ⟶ 259:
Mayuri's coworker at the May Queen Cafe and the owner. {{spoiler|After she sends her D-Mail, Akihabara loses everything related with moe culture as her father is still alive. She also is the first character to remember memories from other timelines apart from Okabe and Ruka}}.
----
* [[Ambiguously Bi]]: An attraction to Okabe is implied due to her back and forth antics with his, and giving him a cuddle every now and then.
*[[Animal-Eared Headband]]: As part of her attire, she wears a headband with cat ears. She is almost never seen without them, even when she isn't at work. She has implied that they also enhance her hearing too, but whether that's true or not is unclear.
**Her route in ''My Darling's Embrace'' reveals that the ears aren't actually part of a headband, but rather they are attached with hair clips.
Line 257 ⟶ 266:
*[[Beat Them At Their Own Game]]: Does this with Okarin frequently, to his annoyance because she is so good at the theatrics and applying his ramblings to her own fantasies that he feels he cannot beat her. She is also unfazed by Okabe's (as Hououin Kyouma) attempts to emotionally manipulate her, which only frustrates him even more.
* [[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.
*[[Bratty Half-Pint]]: Faris shows shades of this occasionally, mainly when Okabe doesn't play along with her delusions. A more humourous example is when she runs up to a random person wearing an Upa costume, hugs them, and throws a tantrum when Suzuha drags her away.
* [[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.
Line 289 ⟶ 299:
**"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.
*[[Suspiciously Similar Outfit]]: Both she and Suzuha wear identical form-fitting cat suits that bear a striking resemblence to the one a certain gravity shifting super heroine wears in another [[Gravity Rush|video game]].
*[[Teens Are Short]]: At 4' 7<nowiki>''</nowiki>, Faris is very petite 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.
Line 295 ⟶ 306:
==Yuugo Tennouji ==
{{quote|''Do you want me to raise your rent?!''|One of Tennouji's many threats to Okabe}}
▲
A CRT-TV store owner, and Rintaro's landlord. {{spoiler|He is secretly working for SERN, sending orders to Moeka and her group}}.
----
Line 308 ⟶ 322:
==Nae Tennouji ==
{{quote|''Umm, how do you wash your brain?''|Nae questioning the concept of brainwashing}}
<nowiki>'''</nowiki>Voiced by:<nowiki>'''</nowiki> Ayano Yamamoto (JP), Brina Palencia (EN)
Yuugo's daughter and good friends with Mayuri.
