(commented out unlinked entry for nonexistent trope. added white space for readability)
Line 10:
* {{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 Congroo", among others.
<!-- *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}}.
* [[The Determinator]]
Line 19:
* {{spoiler|[[Future Badass]]: Alpha timeline, where he leads an international terrrorist group against SERN in the future and Beta timeline, where he creates the time machine}}.
* [[Get a Hold of Yourself, Man!]]: Delivered by Mayuri.
* [[The Gift]]: [[Ripple-Effect-Proof Memory|Reading Steiner]], .
* [[Gratuitous English]]: Uses it constantly. Along with [[Gratuitous German]].
* [[In-Series Nickname]]: Refers to himself as "Hououin Kyouma". Mayuri and Daru call him "Okarin".
* [[Jerk with a Heart of Gold]]
* [[Jive Turkey]]: In the English dub, he tries to speak jive instead of Gratuitous English. He even quotes Vanilla Ice of all people.
* {{spoiler|[[La Résistance]]}}
* [[Large Ham]]: When he's acting out his Hououin Kyouma persona, he tends to be very loud and theatrical. When Okabe himself shines through, he's inclined towards gloominess and is actually fairly mellow.
Line 39:
* [[Screw Destiny]]
* [[Seen It All]]: His "Reading Steiner" allows him to retain memories of alternate world lines.
* [[Serious Business]]: You know this is the case when he either drops the theatrics for a bit, or when he addresses Kurisu by her proper name.
* [[Tsundere]]: He's not as blatant as Kurisu, but he fills this category as well, as is cheerfully pointed out by Mayuri.
* [[Will They or Won't They?]]: Shares this dynamic with Kurisu.
* [[Would Hit a Girl]]: {{spoiler|Hits Moeka ''hard'' when he believes it's the only way to save Mayuri}}.
 
Line 54:
* [[Childhood Friends]]: With Okabe.
* [[Cosplay Otaku Girl]]: She loves cosplay, but is only interested in making the costumes and having others wear them.
* [[The Cutie]]: Easily the most adorable member of Future Gadget Lab
* [[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.
* [[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 is adorable.
Line 73:
----
* [[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, but has red hair in the anime.
* [[Blue Eyes]]: And they're pretty big, too.
* [[Broken Bird]]
* [[Can't Hold Her Liquor]]: In the film, it only takes one can of beer to get Kurisu drunk of her ass.
* [[Captain Ersatz]]: Looks very similar to [[BlazBlue|Tsubaki Yayoi]] (anime only) in terms of appearance, she even has the same voice actor to boot!
* [[Closet Geek]]: She often quotes internet memes, denies being an OTP without any hesitation, and clearly knows what a "tsundere" is. She also does a poor job of hiding her geeky side though.
* [[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.
* [[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 herself.
** She is also in no position to give dating advice to anyone after she accidentally outs herself as a virgin.
* [[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}}.
* [[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.
* [[Lethal Chef]]: Her apple pie is considered a lethal weapon.
* [[My Name Is Not Durwood|My Name Is Not CHRISTINA!]]
Line 95:
* [[Redheaded Hero|Red Headed Heroine]]
* {{spoiler|[[Sobriquet]]: "Mother of Time Machine", in the future where SERN rules}}.
* [[She's Got Legs]]: Though she's quite short, her legs are rather long, even being longer than her torso. They're also covered by black stockings and a pair of dark short shorts.
* [[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]].
* [[Troll]]: At one point toys with Okabe by hanging up on him when he tries to call her until he talks to her in a more polite manner.
* [[Tsundere]]: A hilariously stereotypical one, at that. [[Lampshaded]] by Daru, much to her dismay and denial.
* [[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, and her jacket hangs off the shoulders.
* [[Who Wears Short Shorts?]]: She wears a pair as part of her default attire, with a pair of stockings underneath.
* [[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].
* {{spoiler|[[You Have Outlived Your Usefulness]]: Implied to be her fate at SERN's hands, after she completed the time machine for them in 2034}}.
Line 119:
* [[Nice Hat]]
* [[Otaku]]: 2-D girls are the only girls for him! Except when they aren't, of course.
* [[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 18, same age as Okabe.
 
==Ruka Urushibara ==
Line 158:
* [[Rei Ayanami Expy]]: Has some shades.
* [[Shrinking Violet]]
* [[Signature Device]]: The phone she always has in her hand. Moeka is almost never seen without, 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 politely.
* [[Tall, Dark and Bishoujo]]
* {{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"]]}}.
Line 168:
----
* [[Action Girl]]: Part of Okabe's reason for annointing her as "Part-Time Warrior" is because she more or less describes herself as such.
* [[Bare Your Midriff]]: She wears a cropped undershirt under her jacket, which she forced to walk around in for a day after her "seduction technique" to distract Mr. Braun while the Lab mems performed a time leap backfires.
* [[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.}}
* [[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}}.
* [[Eyes of Gold]]
Line 178:
* [[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}}.
*{{spoiler|[[Ret-Gone]]}}
* [[Slacker]]: Much to Mr. Braun's annoyance, Suzuha tends to slack off from her work.
* [[Tomboy and Girly Girl]]: She is the Tomboy while Mayuri is the Girly Girl.
* [[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. Maybe she's out of touch...maybe?
* [[Walking Spoiler]]: It isn't easy talking about her without spoiling major lore and plot details. This applies to ''Steins;Gate 0'' as well.
* [[What the Hell, Hero?]]: Is visibly weirded out by Okabe's bizarre attempts to speak jive/gratuitous English.
{{Quote|'''Suzuha:'''''I can't believe you said "Word to your Mother" to this guy, you freak!''}}{{break}}
 
Line 191:
----
* [[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.
* [[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, since the maid café she works at has a cat theme. She wears a headband with cat ears, and works "meow" into everything she says. ''Steins;Gate 0'' adds a tail and giant cat paw gloves to her attire. Hell, she even behaves like a cat sometimes.
* [[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 trust.
* [[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.
* [[Cry Cute]]: {{spoiler|When she decides to undo the effects of her D-Mail}}.
* [[Curtains Match the Window]]: Pink hair and pink eyes.
* {{spoiler|[[Disappeared Dad]]: Her father died, but he's alive in the timelines after she sent her D-Mail}}.
* [[Gamer Chick]]: Not just a fan of RaiNet Battle, but she's also a competitive player. She pretty damn good at it too it seems.
* [[Girlish Pigtails]]
** [[Princess Curls]]
* [[In-Series Nickname]]: Faris is not her real name. Very few people outside her circle of friends even know what her real name is.
* [[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 reading their body language.
* [[Meaningful Name]]: Her real name is {{Spoiler|"Rumiho Akiha" as in "Akihabara", due to the influence on the city's Moe culture.}}
* [[Moe]]: Only seems natural considering her influence on Moe culture in Akihabara.
* {{spoiler|[[The Ojou]]: She's extremely wealthy and has quite the wealthy lifestyle, though she keeps this hidden from most people}}.
* [[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.
* [[Serious Business]]: She takes off the cat earred headband when she wants to be serious.
* [[Spell My Name with an "S"]]: "Faris" is apparently the official spelling, but "Feiris" and "Feyris" also see heavy use.
* [[Verbal Tic]]: She even ends her sentences with "-nya".
