Line 212:
**''My Darling's Embrace'' further delves into her background, which Okabe uses as the stepping stone to help her open up a little bit. With Tennouji being her legal guardian in that worldline, we get a better understanding of how Moeka functions as a person, and the positive impact Okabe and the rest of the Lab Mems have had on her emotionally. It is after she has a Heroic BSOD towards the end when Okabe asks her directly that she finally opens up to the emotional damage she suffered from, and the former's affirmation that people do care about her that she can begin to heal from it.
* [[In-Series Nickname]]: Rintaro calls her [[Mobile Fighter G Gundam|"Shining Finger"]] because she can text someone lightning fast.
*[[Innocent Fanservice Girl]]: Is blissfully unaware of how sexy she looks in lingerie, as she only chose it
* [[Meganekko]]: Her glasses help her look withdrawn and timid.
* {{spoiler|[[The Mole]]: She joins the lab group largely because she's also looking for the IBN 5100, and once she has everything she needs, she leads a team to capture them all apart from Mayuri, who is marked for death instead}}.
Line 228:
* [[Tall, Dark and Bishoujo]]
*[[Taking the Bullet]]: Realising how much her new friends cared about her, she gets fatally wounded protecting them when her subordinates open fire on the lab at the end of "The Quantum Awakening".
*[[Tickle Torture]]: She is subjected to this when Faris catches her smiling. The latter starts tickling her just to get another smile out of her.
* {{spoiler|[[Villainous Breakdown]]: [[Driven to Suicide]] after FB drops her for failing her mission in the timeline where Ruka undoes the effects of her D-Mail, [[Madness Mantra|typing on her cell phone nothing but endless strings of "FB"]]}}.
*[[When She Smiles]]: She gives a warm smile at the end of her route in ''My Darling's Embrace'' after she and Okabe become a couple.
**Faris and Maho's antics in ''Steins;Gate 0''/Episode 10 get a brief smile and a chuckle out of her, though she quickly tries to hide it. In the game, she bursts out of laughing at their antics, and cries from laughter when Faris starts tickling her.
*[[Younger Than They Look|Younger Than She Looks]]: You wouldn't be blamed for thinking she was older than just 20 years of age if she hadn't said so.
*[[You Have Outlived Your Usefulness]]: She is shocked to learn that SERN higher ups will go out of their way to dispose of their subordinates once they stop being useful to them, starting by cutting off all contact, and then killing them (which is what happens to her). It is only then that she is remorseful for her actions and pleads for forgiveness.
**Moeka is afraid of this trope in ''Steins;Gate 0''. Learning about the potential of AI has led her to become fearful that technology will replace human workers in the future, but she already feels inadequate since she feels she doesn't have any special talents or unique skills, and she believes she can easily replaced. After spending time with Maho however, she eventually snaps out of this mindset.
== Ruka Urushibara ==
Line 240 ⟶ 243:
----
* {{spoiler|[[A-Cup Angst]]: Gets this when he turns into a girl but retains the same appearance}}.
*[[Ambiguously Gay]]: He
* [[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 250 ⟶ 253:
* {{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!"
*[[Hidden Depths]]: In ''[[Steins;Gate 0]],'' Ruka suddenly starts speaking to the professors in English. Though slightly broken (which can't be helped due to Kobayashi's native tongue), his English is surprisingly good.
* [[In-Series Nickname]]: "Rukako", used by Okabe, probably because it sounds more
*[[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.
Line 277 ⟶ 281:
* [[The Ace]]: A master of the board game Rai-Net Battle to the extent where she ranks nationally in the competitive scene.
* [[Animal Motifs]]: Clearly it's cats, given her cute and playful nature. She exhibits a lot of strange cat-like behaviours, including her verbal tic, and a hand gesture akin to a cat scratch. Then of course, there's her trademark cat ears that she almost never takes off.
*[[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. He calls this "Dubbing 10".
* [[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.
Line 291 ⟶ 295:
* {{spoiler|[[Disappeared Dad]]: Her father died, but he's alive in the timelines after she sent her D-Mail}}.
*[[Foil]]: to her business rival, 4°C/Shido. Faris believes strongly in excellent customer service, treating her workers with love and respect, and making her establishment warm and inviting, while Shido only cares about profitability and will use any underhanded methods to achieve his goals.
* [[Gamer Chick]]: Not just a fan of RaiNet Battle, but she's also a competitive player
*[[Girlish Pigtails]]
** [[Princess Curls]]
Line 323 ⟶ 327:
*[[Teens Are Short]]: Even at 17 years old, Faris is tiny, only measuring 4' 7<nowiki>''</nowiki> in height; to give you perspective, the top of her head doesn't even reach Okabe's shoulders (and he isn't even 6 foot).
*[[Third-Person Person]]: Like Mayuri, Faris frequently talks in the third person.
*[[True Companions]]: Faris, along with Ruka, are both this to Okabe after Daru reveals that they had been looking after him while he was comatose.
*[[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.
* [[Verbal Tic]]: She even ends her sentences with "-nya". In English, it's "meow" instead.
Line 344 ⟶ 349:
* [[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 barrier. 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,
*[[Foil]]: Her Alpha and Beta selves are this to each other; Alpha Suzuha is outgoing, curious, cheery, and energetic. Beta Suzuha is more serious, focused, and stubborn.
**Also to her Omega self, who is more carefree, emotional, and kind of bratty.
