Line 46:
**Part-Time Warrior (Suzuha)
**Super Hack (Daru)
**Mister Braun (Mr. Tennouji)
**Sister Braun or Chipmunk (Nae)
**A multitude of nicknames for Kurisu.
***Mayuri, who already coined her own nickname "Mayushii", and Faris, who rarely uses her real name anyway, are exceptions to this.
Line 55 ⟶ 57:
* [[Shout-Out]]: He thinks Suzuha looks like someone out of ''[[Street Fighter]]'' without her track top.
** He indirectly references ''[[Back to the Future]]'' when thinking about Suzuha's predicament in her route.
** He makes a ''[[Pokémon]]'' reference when he mentions Upa being more popular than a certain electric yellow rat.
*[[Sore Loser]]: Cannot handle losing a game of RaiNet to anyone, be it Kurisu or Suzuha, and especially gets pissed off when Kurisu outsmarts him in a debate. Cannot stand that Faris plays into his delusional ramblings so effortlessly since he feels she does it better he does, and thus cannot beat her.
* [[Tsundere]]: He's not as blatant as Kurisu, but he fills this category as well, as is cheerfully pointed out by Mayuri.
Line 84 ⟶ 87:
**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
*[[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 136 ⟶ 139:
*[[Precision F-Strike]]: He is one of the only characters to drop an F-bomb in the whole series.
*[[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.
*[[Stalker with a Crush]]: Can be mistaken as such due to his obsession/infatuation with Faris.
* [[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 141 ⟶ 145:
[[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}}
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
----
* [[Abusive Parents]]/[[Parental Neglect]]: Kurisu's father keeps a distance from her, downright refusing to see her. {{spoiler|Justified in that he is Dr. Nakabachi}}.
* [[Accidental Innuendo]]: Subjects herself to these often, and it never ceases to embarrass her any time Okabe or Daru point it out.
* [[Adaptation Dye Job]]: Kurisu's hair is brown in the original visual novel
*[[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 scrawny appearance will be met with threats to have your brain turned to pickle juice.
**She also gets angry when someone eats her snacks, doubly so if her name is clearly written on it.
**She hates being called a nerd.
*[[Blue Eyes]]: Closer to violet, and they're pretty big, too. Okabe does comment on how beautiful her eyes are in the VN, making it one of the only times he has acknowledged some attraction to her.
*[[Broken Bird]]
Line 157 ⟶ 161:
*[[Closet Geek]]: She often quotes internet memes, denies being an OTP without any hesitation, and clearly knows what a "tsundere" is. She is quite the geek, but does a poor job hiding it.
*[[Cool Big Sis]]: she acts this way towards Mayuri. Not only does she treat Mayuri with more respect than the guys, but she becomes concerned for her when Okabe becomes distant from her.
*[[Cordon Bleugh Chef]]: As Suzuha puts it, her apple pie could be classified as a lethal weapon. Aside from that, she gets the idea to add pineapple to a curry that Faris was cooking up, only relenting
* [[Crippling Overspecialization]]: Non-action variety. She took up maths and science from a young age, but sacrificed education in pretty much everything else to a point where even her social skills left a lot to be desired.
* [[Cry Cute]]: In episode 5, after Okabe, already irate at losing a board game with her, yells at her for calling him by his real name, and then calling her "Christina", reducing her to tears. This was out of relief when she realised he's being his goofy self and his anger wasn't genuine.
Line 175 ⟶ 179:
* [[Lethal Chef]]: Her apple pie is considered a lethal weapon.
* [[My Name Is Not Durwood|My Name Is Not CHRISTINA!]]: That pretty much speaks for itself...
*[[Oh Crap|Oh Crap!]]: Her reaction every time she drops internet lingo into her dialogue. Also, when she unwittingly makes a sexual innuendo, and it's pointed out to her.
* [[Omnidisciplinary Scientist]]: Is a neuroscientist
* [[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.
Line 182 ⟶ 186:
* {{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.
*[[Smug Smiler]]: One of her sprites in visual novels depicts her with a smug look on her face, coupled with a cheeky wink for good measure. For extra smugness, a similar sprite will depict the same expression
* [[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]].
Line 189 ⟶ 193:
* [[Unkempt Beauty]]: She is no doubt easy on the eyes, but she also dresses like your average teenager with untied bootlaces, a tie that isn't done all the way up, long plain hair with little volume, and her jacket hangs below her shoulders.
* [[Who Wears Short Shorts?]]: She wears a pair as part of her default attire.
* [[Will They or Won't They?|Will They, or Won't They?]]: Shares this dynamic with Okarin.
* [[Yandere]]: Just... Listen to this [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LOFkctKYQWQ drama CD].
*[[You Called Me "X" - It Must Be Serious]]: She is surprised when Okabe finally starts using her actual name. First time it happens, she almost gets teary-eyed from it. Clearly, she is genuinely touched by this gesture each time it occurs.
Line 202 ⟶ 206:
*[[Attention Deficit Ooh Shiny]]: she has a very short attention span, judging by how she goes about cleaning her apartment. According to Okabe, it's quite the sight to behold!
*[[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]]}}: Subverted in the sense that she isn't ruthless because she's trained to be a cold
*[[Drunk Personality Change]]: Though we only see a flash of this in the movie, once she has had a couple, Moeka becomes a lot more lively compared to her usual reclusive self.
*[[Dark and Troubled Past]]: She was the product of an unwanted pregnancy, thus was most likely subjected to a lot of abuse from her parents until they just abandoned her. She was also ostracized by her peers during high school, and even made attempts on her own life due to her sense of worthlessness. Her route in ''My Darling's Embrace'' explores this, as she mentions that she wanted to die in the past, her difficulties with socialising, before she tearfully acknowledges her feelings of worthlessness and why she feels that way to Okabe when he asks her directly why she runs away from people who do care about her.
*[[Defrosting Ice Queen]]: Her route in ''My Darling's Embrace'' basically has Okabe trying to get her to open up about her feelings.
*[[Does Not Like Spam]]: Apparently, she does not like macadamia nuts.
*
* {{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}}.
Line 212 ⟶ 216:
*[[Foolish Sibling, Responsible Sibling]]: Along with Suzuha when the Lab Mems work at MayQueen in ''My Darling'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}}.
*[[Heel Face Turn|Heel-Face Turn]]: "The Quantum Awakening" in ''Linear Bounded Phenogram'' explores what would happen if Moeka made more of an effort to embrace the Lab Mems as her friends
*[[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.
*[[I Just Want to Be Loved]]: Part of the reason she
**The spin-off games explore this side of Moeka in thorough detail, particularly in her own episode in ''Linear Bounded Phenogram'', "The Quantum Awakening". She is so desperate to please FB that she makes every excuse she can to push her friends away when they get close to her, until she understands how important friends are to where she has Okabe send a D-mail on her behalf to keep herself from ever becoming a Rounder in the first place.
**''My Darling's Embrace'' further delves into her background, which Okabe uses as the
* [[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 because it was easy to move around in for Faris' slumber party, which Maho herself lampshades. Doesn't stop Faris from getting touchy feely with her, though!
Line 224 ⟶ 228:
*[[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.
**Beta Moeka isn't anywhere near as shy as she was in the Alpha world line, but she still speaks in short, fragmented sentences and still barrages Okabe with text messages, but in general, she is more talkative, and will actively help Okabe if he needs it. In the "Steins;Gate" world line, she almost never uses her phone to communicate and generally looks a lot happier, both of which carry over into the movie.
***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.
**In her route, she talks a lot more when she is alone with Okabe, which Mr. Tennouji takes notice of.
* [[Rapid-Fire Typing]]: Her one distinguishing skill in Okabe's eyes is that she can text a person in seconds, even with a phone that requires multiple key presses to get the letter she wants. It's the reason he calls her "Shining Finger". In fact, her lightning
** In worldlines in which she actually is a writer, her quick fingers help her to write articles quickly. She is able to fix Daru's script ''and'' write an exposé of 4°C's business dealings within a 24 hour timeframe.
*[[Rei Ayanami Expy]]: Has some shades.
*
* [[Signature Device]]: The phone she always has in her hand. Moeka is almost never seen without it, and as mentioned under Berserk Button, she becomes extremely angry if it's taken from her forcefully. She will however, hand it over if asked.
*[[Suddenly Voiced]]: A downplayed example, since she speaks already; at the end of "Abduction Across Three Worlds", she arrives at the lab to pick up a sketchbook she bought online, but she uncharacteristically speaks in full sentences
* [[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".
Line 241 ⟶ 246:
*[[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 be easily replaced. After spending time with Maho however, she eventually snaps out of this mindset.
== Ruka Urushibara ==
Line 266 ⟶ 271:
*[[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.
*[[Oh Crap|Oh Crap!]]: Pretty much his reaction when Daru suggests hiring male maids to work at MayQueen, knowing
**Later in that story, he has a similar reaction when Daru and Faris cast him in the lead role for the group's PV.
*[[Out of Focus]]: He is for the most part, locked out of the loop in ''Steins;Gate 0''. Despite the screen time 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 whom Okabe keeps his time travel escapades from, which Suzuha believes there is a reason for.
Line 284 ⟶ 289:
Mayuri's coworker at the May Queen Cafe and the owner. She is also a skilled RaiNet player. {{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}}. She is Lab Member 007, a designation Okabe reluctantly gives her when she wants to send a D-mail.
----
* [[The Ace]]: A master of the board game Rai-Net Battle having played in over 400 unofficial matches without defeat. She is so good she could compete officially if she wanted.
** As an In-Universe example of [[Real Life Writes the Plot]] however, school and work take precidence over tournaments.
* [[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. That said, she does occasionally flirt with the other girls, even getting a little...playful with Moeka at one point''.''
*[[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.
**She'll remove them when she wants to bear her soul to someone, when she's on a date, or she'll ask her lover to do the honors when she falls in love.
* [[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
*[[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.
