Line 269:
*[[Crotch Grab Sex Check]]: Is a victim of this twice; once after he becomes a girl after sending a D-mail (with Okabe getting clocked for it), and again in ''My Darling's Embrace'' after Okabe moves to a world line where the two are a couple. Strangely enough, in the latter instance, Ruka admits to being fine with the act, though he wished it happened privately.
* [[Cry Cute]]: Even cuter than Kurisu! Humorously, he gets super emotional when recounting an old fable surrounding Yanabayashi Shrine.
* [[Dude Looks Like a Lady]]: "But... he's a guy!" It is part of the reason he turns down an invite to an amusement park during the Mayuri route in ''My Darling's Embrace.'' It's also a major reason he constantly turns down Mayuri's pleas to cosplay''.''
* [[Dude Looks Like a Lady]]: "But... he's a guy!"
*[[Extreme Doormat]]: Comes across as this sometimes, particularly when it comes to doing embarrassing stuff like cosplaying. He will only do such embarrassing things if Okabe either does it with him, or if other people suggest the latter does so.
* {{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 Yuu Kobayashi's native tongue), his English is surprisingly good.
*[[I Want My Beloved to Be Happy]]: Despite his own infatuation with Okabe, and jealousy towards Mayuri, Ruka is more than content with the two people he cares about the most finding happiness together.
* [[In-Series Nickname]]: "Rukako", used by Okabe, probably because it sounds more feminine to match his outward appearance.

{{quote|}}
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.
Line 303:
**In the Delta worldlines, the ears are attached to her head via hairclips. Okabe learns this the hard way when he tries to steal them off her head for teasing him, only to end up hurting her instead.
**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 is cats, given her cute and playful nature. She exhibits a lot of strange cat-like behaviours, including her verbal tic, and cute cat-like gestures. 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 delusionsbizarre stories. 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.
**Cold rejection though (as Daru once showed us) will really open up the waterworks for her.
* [[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. Once she drops her mask however, she is much more elegant and soft-spoken, but she still retains a mischievous aura.
*[[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. Probably the one time she shows signs of distress.
*[[Color Motif|Colour Motif]]: Pink features quite prominently, possibly to emphasis her girly nature as well as the reasons listed under Animal Motif.
**Also happens to her butler, Kuroki, in Episode 10 after Maho (and later Moeka) turns her guest room into a rubbish tip.
*[[Crocodile Tears]]: She tends to do this quite often just to get whatever she wants. In regard to wanting to use the Time Leap Machine to win a RaiNet match, she pulls this trick on Okabe when he casts doubt on her that she intends to use it for this reason.
Line 327 ⟶ 328:
* [[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.''
*[[Hidden Buxom]]: Zigzagged: her casual attire hides her bust quite well, while her maid uniform is much more form-fitting.
*[[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 her real name. By the sounds of it, she was waiting on Okabe specifically to do so.
*[[In-Series Nickname]]: Faris Nyannyan is not her real name; it is simply a stage name she goes by in RaiNet tournaments, and while she's at work. Her actual name is a mystery to most. Calling her by her real name doesn't anger her in any way, but unless 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.
Line 340 ⟶ 341:
*[[Otaku]]: Loves anime, moe, and otaku culture, even dressing as a stereotypical anime character.
*[[Precision F-Strike]]: The usually cheery and playful Faris outright calls Shido a bastard when talking about his underhanded/law breaking business tactics. A surprising moment since Faris very, '''''very''''' rarely shows her anger and frustration in front of anyone.
*[[Rapunzel Hair]]: When her massive twin tails are undone, her hair is ridiculously long.
*[[Rapunzel Hair]]: The only time we see her with her hair down is in ''Steins;Gate 0'' when she falls asleep after her all-girls slumber party in Episode 10. Given how long her hair is even when tied into twintails, it's no surprise that it's really long untied.
* [[Rose-Haired Girl]]: Her energetic, playful attitude and pink hair matching is quite possibly not a coincidence at all: as much as she loves anime culture and considering the otherwise natural-ish hair colors, it could be dyed. Even so, given that the characters of ''Chaos;Child'' have brightly coloured hair, and given that that series takes place in the same universe as ''Steins;Gate'', it is possible that pink could well be Faris' natural hair colour (maybe).
**Given that her hair and eyebrows are the same colour, this lends more credence to a natural hair colour rather than dyed.
Line 378 ⟶ 379:
*[[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 and showy outfit during her route in ''My Darling's Embrace.'' Then there's an ''extremely'' form fitting cat suit that Mayuri made for her and Faris in ''Linear Bounded Phenogram.''
**Though she doesn't join Okabe and company at the local swimming pool, there is artwork of Suzuha wearing a two-piece swimsuit (which can be viewed in ''My Darling's Embrace's'' CG Library).
*[[Foil]]: Her Alpha and Beta selves are this to each other; Alpha Suzuha is outgoing, curious, cheery, and energetic. Beta Suzuha is more serious, focusedjumpy, and stubborn.
**Also to her Omega self, who is more carefree, emotional, bratty, and kind of brattydim.
*[[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.
*[[Full-Name Basis]]: In Japanese, she addresses her peers by their full names for reasons unknown.
Line 389 ⟶ 390:
* [[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 staffer. What she does depends on what the story is.
*[[Properly Paranoid]]: One trait that Alpha and Beta Suzuha share is their habit of freezing in fear upon hearing aircraft overhead. While Beta is spooked by a passenger jet, Alpha is spooked by a new helicopter.
*{{spoiler|[[Ret-Gone]]}}
*{{spoiler|[[Ret-Gone]]: Whether Okabe stops her from returning to 1975 or not, she passes away in 2000, either from suicide or illness.}}
*[[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 alternateBeta and Omega selves. Only she can see them.
* [[Tomboy and Girly Girl]]: She is more Tomboy-ish compared to the other girls, but she has shades of both characteristics. Omega Suzuha is 100% a Girly Girl.
* [[Totally Radical]]: Suzuha often speaks like this. Hell, first thing she says (in Japanese) is "Oha!!", a salutation that was considered to be dated by the 2000's. Another allusion to her true past, maybe?
Line 416 ⟶ 418:
* {{spoiler|[[Manipulative Bastard]]: To Moeka, and implied to be towards the other agents he controls}}.
*[[Not Distracted by the Sexy]]: In the anime, he is not deterred by Suzuha's "seduction technique" in the slightest in Episode 11, forcing her to walk around without her jacket as punishment.
*[[Sherlock Scan]]: When he visits Moeka's apartment one night to check up on her, he knows Okabe is there because fof not just his scent, but also the two cups of yakisoba on Moeka's table. Tennouji even interrogates Okabe later on to confirm this, knowing that he would spill the truth.
*[[Shipper on Deck]]: Related to the above, he is also well aware that Okabe and Moeka are fond of each other, so he goes out of his way to set up a date for them so they can spend some quality time together.
*[[Walking Spoiler]]: It is difficult to talk about his involvement in the second half of the story without spoiling his true identity.

Shido is a recurring antagonist throughout the series, and the leader of a RaiNet team called the Viral Attackers. Not much is known about him, except for suffering a severe case of chuunibyou, asand wellhe ashates possessingFaris aNyanNyan deep-seatedwith hatreda of Farispassion.
----
* [[0% Approval Rating]]: Not matter what the story is, Shido and his gang are universally hated. An example is in Faris' route in which he is a white-collar criminal looking to monopolize the maid café scene in Akiba using illicit tactics like intimidation and bribery to buy out the competition. He even makes his maid wear skimpy outfits to attract more customers, something that really irritates Faris enough to call him a bastard for it.
Line 460 ⟶ 463:
* [[Cheating Bastard]]: He and his thugs aren't above using violence, threats, and underhanded means to get ahead.
* [[Cloudcuckoolander]]: He has such an embarrassing case a chuunibyou that even Okabe recoils in disgust. Also, unlike Okabe and Faris who play up their theatrics for fun, Shido believes his own delusions.
* [[Color Motif|Colour Motif]]: He is obsessed with the colour black ("kuro" in Japanese), to the point of ramming it into everything he says.
* [[The Faceless]]: In the anime only; we hear him on the phone, but he doesn't make a physical appearance.
* [[Greek Mythology]]: While Okabe has a fondness for Norse mythology, Shido leans more towards Greek mythology as hinted by his constant references by Gaia.
* [[Hate Sink]]: Delusional, sketchy, foul-mouthed, hateful, just unpleasant in every way? Yeah, he qualifies!
* [[Hypocrite]]: Calls Faris' "Cheshire Break" technique cheating while having his lackies use a laser pen to distract her.
* [[Nice Hat]]: Wears a beanie hat that is slightly tilted. It falls off in a physical altercation, revealing that he is hiding a bald spot.
* [[Only Known by Their Nickname]]: Any time he is involved in the plot, he is always referred to as 4°C/Shido. His real name though is Kouichi Suzuki.
* [[Oh Crap]]: His reaction when Okabe reveals that he plans to leak his financial dealings to the National Tax Agency.
* [[Put on a Bus]]: He isn't seen, nor even mentioned in ''Steins;Gate 0''.
