History Characters / DokiDokiLiteratureClubLoops

* TheFaceless: It's not uncommon for visual novels and dating sims to avoid showing the POV character's face, allowing the player to mentally insert themselves. It's ''not'' as typical for the POV character to ''literally have no face InUniverse'' as is the case with Hiroaka, who instead has an irregular white patch that grows and shrinks. (The rest of his appearance is consistent with the game's sole third-person image of him.)
** Later on, Ganesha is able to change things to where Hiroaka has different names, voices, and personalities with each Loop.

* AffectionateNickname: One loop has her referring to Natsuki as 'Cupcake', before explaining that her "WILL YOU SHUT UP ALREADY?!" is due to Yuri having psychosis and a teal-haired girl from one of them exists in Yuri's head as a hallucination.

The Anchor of the ''Doki Doki Literature Club!'' Branch of Yggdrasil, and President of the titular club. An expert at coding, especially that of the digital reality the club resides in, adding many quality-of-life improvements - most notably making the Branch and its inhabitants so realistic and lifelike as to be nearly indistinguishable from any flesh-and-blood Branch.

* TheAtoner: In Baseline, Monika murdered and deleted her club members in an attempt to reach out beyond the fourth wall, only to then be deleted by the player; she restored the game in hopes of letting the group be happy without her, then deleted the game entirely once Sayori began showing similar traits as Club President. In the Loops, Monika's primary motivation is to atone for her misdeeds; [[DeconstructedTrope deconstructed]], in that she continues to go this route long after the rest of the club has forgiven her, and it takes a toll on her mental health.
* IHatePastMe: Subverted in 23.7, in which Monika decides to try and make sure her past self doesn't go crazy due to her newfound metaknowledge. This ends with the two hugging it out when Past!Monika admits that she's scared.
* INeedAFreakingDrink: Monika only gets drunk after a very stressful situation has concluded... or is around [[WebAnimation/RedVsBlue Michael J. Caboose.]]
* OtherMeAnnoysMe: ''Just Monika and Monika'' centers around a corrupted version of Monika causing a variation of a HatePlague thanks to [[VideoGame/FateGrandOrder William Shakespeare]] creating her out of inspiration, and [[KidnappedByTheCall Monika's subsequent summoning to fix that mess against her will.]] Needless to say, she is unsurprisingly enthusiastic to get a chance at killing her worst traits given form and amplified.
* WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes: A Loop involving zombies caused her to be afraid of zombies, which causes problems during Chapter 27 (a Fused Loop with ''Anime/ZombieLandSaga'').

* CharacterizationMarchesOn: Loop 2.2 had her developing a crush on Simon Blackwell. This was dropped and never brought up again.

The club's head chef and resident tsundere, with a penchant for snarky comments. Also hit often by Pun Loops, usually (but not always) to her dismay.

* TheGadfly: Often the quickest to bring up Monika's misdeeds from Baseline. It's eventually revealed that this is at Monika's request in order to keep her (Monika) humble, and the TropeNamer is brought up in comparison.

* VoluntaryShapeshifting: Gains the ability to do this after ''multiple'' pun loops. She even does this in Chapter 31.10 when talking with Elodie and Briony after the latter got turned into Brie-ony cheese.

* TheFaceless: It's not uncommon for visual novels and dating sims to avoid showing the POV character's face, allowing the player to mentally insert themselves. It's ''not'' as typical for the POV character to ''literally have no face InUniverse'' as is the case with Hiroaka, who instead has an irregular white patch that grows and shrinks. (The rest of his appearance is consistent with the game's sole third-person image of him.) Later on, Ganesha is able to change things to where Hiroaka has different names, voices and personalities with each loop.

* FridgeHorror: This image is just one of many hidden elements that suggest there's something deeper - and much darker - going on with ''DDLC''. The game's UpdatedRerelease, ''Doki Doki Literature Club Plus!'', expanded on these.

* KnifeNut: As in Baseline, Yuri collects knives. Unlike in Baseline, she also makes her own - and usually fights with a knife when she's not using a sword.

* WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes: A fused loop with a zombie loop caused her to be afraid of zombies, which causes problems during chapter 27 (A fused loop with Zombieland SAGA!)

* DramaticallyMissingThePoint: During a Fused Loop with Fire Emblem: Three Houses, she asks Byleth if ambushing Sayori with a dagger is some kind of surprise training (Sayori's replacing Marianne von Edmund who's a lot more gloomy and with the Those that Slither About, Byleth was suspicious)
* StepfordSmiler: While she's mentally much better off than in Baseline, Sayori still suffers from depression (characterized by her as a raincloud, as she did in Baseline). Indeed, when the Dokis first Looped into Equestria, her cutie mark was a raincloud and sun.

* LesbianVampire: She's a Hellsing vampire and in a relationship with Natsuki

* OfficialCouple: With Natsuki

* TooKinkyToTorture: Loves being injured in various new and strange ways to Natsuki's consternation

* OfficialCouple: With Yuri

* FridgeHorror: This image is just one of many hidden elements that suggest there's something deeper - and much darker - going on with ''DDLC''.
* TheNameless: None ''confirmed'', but hidden content in Sayori's character file, along with [[https://www.reddit.com/r/DDLC/comments/763ba1/spoiler_remember_that_poem_nothing_is_real/ what's underneath the blacked-out portions of the "nothing is real?" poem]], would seem to indicate that it's "Elyssa".

* DummiedOut: Both in- and out-of-universe. This is [[https://tcrf.net/Doki_Doki_Literature_Club!#natsuki.chr an actual image]] found in Natsuki's character file.
* TheNameless: None ''confirmed'', but hidden content in Sayori's character file, along with what's underneath the blacked-out portions of the "nothing is real" poem, would seem to indicate that it's "Elyssa".

* StepfordSmiler: While she's mentally much better off than in Baseline, Sayori still suffers from depression (characterized by her as a raincloud, as she did in Baseline).

* TheNameless: Though hidden content in Sayori's character file, along with what's underneath the blacked-out portions of the "nothing is real" poem, suggest that her name is "Elyssa".

* ArtificialIntelligence: Technically speaking, since the group are visual novel characters who attained sentience through unknow means. It doesn't come up too often, but the girls do identify themselves as AI.
* VitriolicBestBuds: Natsuki and Yuri are constantly fighting,arguing, and throwing verbal barbs at each other. They're also possibly the two closest members of the club, [[spoiler:especially after they hook up romantically.]]

* TheAtoner: In her Baseline, Monika murdered and deleted her club members in an attempt to reach out beyond the fourth wall, only to realize the error of her ways. In the loops, her primary motivation is to try and make up for it. [[DeconstructedTrope Deconstructed]] in that Monika continues to attempt to atone long after the rest of the club has forgiven her, and it takes a toll on her mental health.

The Vice President of the Literature Club. A bundle of sunshine who loves nothing more than to make her friends happy. Not-so-secretly depressed. Also a Sith Lord under the name Darth Somnus.
-----
* DarkIsNotEvil: Sayori may be a Sith Lord, but she's still by far the nicest, friendliest member of the Literature Club and the group's [[TheHeart heart.]]
* StepfordSmiler: She's far better than in Baseline, but she still suffers from depression.
