Line 12:
----
* {{spoiler|[[Always Save the Girl]]: He goes through many timelines to save Mayuri, although it is implied that he ultimately chooses Kurisu}}.
* [[Catch Phrase]]: "I am mad scientist!", "This is the choice of Stein's Gate!", "El Psy CongrooKongroo", among others.
*[[Chick Magnet]]: He seems to have no problem with girls swooning over him, and yes, that includes Ruka. Romance options are somewhat explored in the original game, but aren't the main focus. ''My Darling's Embrace'' leans more into the romantic options given the nature of the game itself. That said, it's also the only place where Moeka's attraction to Okabe is made apparent, and Suzuha's relationship with him is the only one that isn't romantic (though she does get cozycosy with him before she returns to her own time, just so Okabe doesn't forget her).
<!-- *Chuunibyou: His "Hououin Kyouma" persona is something he played up because it makes Mayuri happy. MOD: Not a trope here, as the lack of a link might suggest. Don't add tropes we don't have. -->
* [[Despair Event Horizon]]: {{spoiler|Burst out crying after countless time-leaps in order to save Mayuri with no success}}.
Line 72:
* [[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.
**Perverted comments she repeats at Daru's requests seem to just fly over a head, doing so without any hint of self awareness whatsoever.
*[[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, an Upa, is adorable. She also compares Okabe's assessment of world lines to different walkthroughs of a video game.
* [[Green Eyes]]
*[[The Glomp]]: Does this a couple of times to Kurisu; first when they first meet, and second when the latter returns to Japan in the film.
**She does it to Okabe at the end her route in the spin-off, which humorously knocks him over.
* [[Guide Dang It]]: Out of the 6 possible relationships in ''My Darling's Embrace,'' Mayuri's route is the hardest to get onto, because it isn't as simple as picking the contents and timing of the D-mail; the player must also respond to Mayuri's text messages with specific replies while ignoring messages from everyone else. If Mayuri's fourth message mentions a certain location, you're on the right track. Her route is the only one that is partially influenced by the player's answers to text messages.
* [[I Want My Beloved to Be Happy]]: Despite her [[Love Confession]] towards the end of ''Steins;Gate 0,'' she can not stand to see Okabe looking so miserable that she goes back to August 2010 with Suzuha to correct the time line for his happiness rather than her own.
*[[In-Series Nickname]]: "Mayushii", a nickname she gives to herself, itself a portmanteau of her full name: '''Mayu'''ri '''Shii'''na.
* [[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.
Line 84 ⟶ 85:
* [[Nice Hat]]: Almost always wears a wide brimmed, frilly looking blue hat.
*[[She Cleans Up Nicely]]: Downplayed, since she's already rather pretty to begin with, but nevertheless, she becomes even more beautiful when preparing for her photoshoot in her route in ''My Darling's Embrace'',
* [[Smarter Than You Look]]: Despite what her ditzy mannerisms might suggest, she can be very insightful. After all, she was the one who figured out who Suzuha's dad was.
*[[Static Character]]: Mayuri is sweet, innocent, and a little slow from the beginning of the series. Unfortunately, she isn't given much character development and she remains as sweet, innocent, and a little slow by the end.
*[[Teens Are Short]]: Like Faris, Mayuri has a very petite stature, standing only 5' 0<nowiki>''</nowiki> in height, shorter than the average girl of her age.
Line 180 ⟶ 181:
----
* {{spoiler|[[A-Cup Angst]]: Gets this when he turns into a girl but retains the same appearance}}.
*[[Ambiguously Gay]]: He is strongly implied to be attracted to Okabe on several occasions, even having his own route in ''My Darling's Embrace''. That said, he does spend a lot of his screen time hanging around the other girls, butIt is neverunknown enough to indicate whetherif he has romantic interest in themany of the girls.
* [[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.
Line 261 ⟶ 262:
**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 identity for a bit by hiding her face and putting a filter over her voice, but when she enters Kurisu's hotel room to give her cryptic advice, the film makes little effort to hide her, thanks to her familiar braided sidetailsbraids, and Cherami Leigh's unfilterednatural voice.
*[[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 thingbarrier. 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 route in ''My Darling's Embrace.''
Line 303 ⟶ 304:
*[[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 sometimes shows shades of this when she doesn't get what she wants, mainly when Okabe doesn't play along with her delusions. A more humorous 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 it comes back in ''Steins;Gate 0''.
*[[Cloudcuckoolander]]: She is every bit as barmy as Okabe, but being quick witted has its advantages, since she will absorb his ramblings and add them to hers.
*[[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.
**Also happens to her butler, Kuroki, in Episode 10 after Maho (and later Moeka) turns her guest room into a rubbish tip.
Line 318 ⟶ 320:
* [[The Glomp]]: She glomps a random guy in an Upa costume when she overheats in ''Linear Bounded Phenogram''. Does so to Okabe a few times in ''0.''
*[[I Lied]]: During her route in ''My Darling's Embrace,'' she has a "spell" that makes Okabe fall in love with her if he hears her real name. By the end though, she admits that she lied about it, and confesses she's the one who falls in love with whoever calls her "Rumiho". By the sounds of it, she was waiting on Okabe specifically to do so.
*[[In-Series Nickname]]: Faris Nyannyan is not her real name.; Itit is simply a stage name she goes by in RaiNet tournaments, and while she's at work. VeryHer fewactual peoplename knowis a mystery to most. whatCalling her by her real name is.doesn't anger her in any way, but Unlessunless she gives you her full trust, she'd rather you call her Faris.
* [[Large Ham]]: Faris loves her theatrics just as much as Okabe does, especially when they're talking to each other.
* [[Living Lie Detector]]: She can spot whether a person is being dishonest or not simply by looking into their eyes. She calls this "Cheshire Break".
Line 341 ⟶ 343:
* [[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 resemblance to an alternate costume a certain gravity shifting super heroine can wear in another [[Gravity Rush|video game]].
*[[Teens Are Short]]: Even at 17 years old, Faris is tiny, only measuring 4' 7<nowiki>''</nowiki> in height; that'sto 5give inchesyou shorterperspective, thanthe Mayuri,top andof 7her incheshead compareddoesn't toeven thereach averageOkabe's 17shoulders year(and oldhe isn't girleven in6 Japanfoot).
*[[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.
