History Characters / MyDressUpDarling

* CluelessChickMagnet: Downplayed, but his kind nature seems to have gained him the affections of not only Kitagawa Kitagawa, but also [[spoiler:Sajuna Inui]]. He is, of course, completely unaware.

* InsecureLoveInterest: The primary reason for his SheIsNotMyGirlfriend outbursts - he sees Kitagawa as being so ''astronomically'' out of his league that he is incapable of imagining her being interested in him, despite having practically won her heart by the fifth episode.

* {{Bishonen}}: Gojo and Kitagawa eventually find out that he looks good both in and out of costume.

* CovertPervert: As Gojo learns over time, Marin definitely isn't a wholesome person.

* DoesNotLikeShoes: Downplayed. His liking for traditional Japanese clothing extends to footwear, as he usually wears just zori sandals as his go-to option. He throws in tabi socks in winter, though.

* {{Keigo}}: He always uses very formal speech patterns, which emphasizes his polite, humble personality as well as how he lives an old-fashioned lifestyle with his grandfather.

* TerribleArtist: Amane buys the costumes and wigs he uses as he's also not creative enough to make them from scratch.

* ADateWithRosiePalms: Has definitely happened more than once thanks to [[MsFanservice Kitagawa]], though the only time it's happened on screen is as the end-of-chapter gag [[spoiler:after the [[HotAsHell Liz-kyun cosplay]] shoot nearly ended in a steamy LoveHotel encounter interrupted by a phone call]].

* GagBoobs: The first time she puts Gojo's school shirt on in order to cosplay as Souma onii-chan, [[WardrobeMalfunction her large bust ends up sending buttons flying as if they were projectiles]]. Shortly afterwards, her bust gets in the way of Gojo's first attempt at taking measurements of her head.

* ADateWithRosiePalms: Has definitely happened more than once thanks to [[MsFanservice Marin Kitagawa]], though the only time it's happened on screen is as the end-of-chapter gag [[spoiler:after the [[HotAsHell Liz-kyun cosplay]] shoot nearly ended in a steamy LoveHotel encounter interrupted by a phone call]].

* ReclusiveArtist: Until she met Kitagawa, she refused to work or join up with other cosplayers, even to the point of refusing to attend events. Some people doubted that she actually existed because of this.

The female lead, title character, and ''de facto'' main character. A popular first-year highschooler who works part-time as a model, Marin Kitagawa wants to get into cosplay to become her favorite characters from manga, anime and videogames. Unfortunately, she lacks the ability to make costumes, leading her to enlist Wakana Gojo's help when she learns that he's skilled at making clothes.

* AscendedFangirl: Although she's a successful model, Kitagawa admires the most popular cosplayers and is elated when "Juju-sama" takes notice of her... though Sajuna is more interested in Gojo's clothes than Kitagawa herself. Despite this, Kitagawa's excitement only grows when Sajuna agrees to share a studio with her for a day in exchange for splitting the cost.
* BeYourself: Kitagawa is a firm believer that everyone should be free to enjoy whatever they want, and nobody should judge them for it, no matter who they are. It's this ethos that allows Gojo, someone's who never been able to share his passion with others, to open up to her.

* BookDumb: She seems to struggle at school, though mostly because she tends to [[RidiculousProcrastinator neglect her homework until the last minute]]. So she's less dumb and more just lazy.

* CantActPervertedTowardALoveInterest: She didn't seem to mind showing Gojo some skin at first. However, as her feelings for Gojo develop, she gets embarrassed more often around him (though context and other peculiarities seem to matter more in terms of what does or doesn't embarass her).
* ClassPrincess: She's quite wealthy and could easily be the AlphaBitch, but she's very much a sweetheart.
* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: Although Kitagawa is popular, sociable and outgoing, it's quite clear that she's pretty eccentric, quirky and outlandish, and definitely has a vivid imagination. She also lacks common sense at times.

* {{Corpsing}}: InUniverse. She often can't help but smile or laugh spontaneously when doing her cosplays, even when she's supposed to act like characters who are [[TheStoic stoic and aloof]].

* CovertPervert:

* CutenessProximity: She's prone to this whenever she's close to a cute-looking cosplayer, both female (like Sajuna) and male (like Chitose).

** When they're doing a cosplay shoot in a LoveHotel, one of the neighbouring rooms starts getting... [[TheImmodestOrgasm noisy]]. While Kitagawa's straddling Gojo, who is rapidly approaching a RagingStiffie from the sound and the position they got in [[SeriousBusiness while he was too in the zone to notice]]. When he grabs her around the waist to move her off him before she notices, she gets visibly aroused and wide-eyed, starts breathing heavy and [[WillTheyOrWontThey begins wrapping her legs around Gojo's back]] before they're interrupted by a phonecall, at which point she excuses herself to the bathroom to calm down. Also stands out as the ''only'' time so far she isn't gushing about Gojo's admirable traits after a tittilating situation, and instead just has her sitting against the wall with her heart nearly beating out of her chest.

* ShamelessFanserviceGirl: {{Downplayed}}. She generally has no problem showing Gojo some skin, much to his embarrassment (probably owing to her work as a model), but she’s become more self-aware as she gradually develops feelings for him.

* SkewedPriorities: Kitagawa tends to freak out at the ''wrong'' things, which has become a RunningGag:

* SupportingProtagonist: Marin Kitagawa is both the title character and main character with Gojo as her LoveInterest. While Gojo's growth as a person and her role in his development are major aspects of the series, Marin's perspective and internal thoughts increasingly become the focal point of the story as she reconciles with her own development as a person even beyond her relationship with Gojo. In fact, she's the one who catches feelings ''first'', and we see her internal thoughts much more frequently as a result. It's her wants, her needs, her dreams, her desires, and her experiences that drive the story forward, with Gojo alongside her as her LoveInterest and de facto BestFriend. She is Gojo's guide in moving forward as a person and artist, and it is Kitagawa's sheer force of personality that inspires Gojo to do what he does for her, because for her to succeed in her courtship of him, he has to overcome his insecurities with her help.

* TerribleArtist: Kitagawa struggles to make cosplay costumes herself even with dedicated instructions from a guide written for beginners. This is why she seeks out Gojo when she learns about his ability to sew.

* VerbalTic: "Yabai" (literally meaning "dangerous" but commonly used as a catch-all exclamation of surprise or approval, similar to "sick" or "based"). Much like modern Japanese teens, she absolutely peppers her speech with the term.
* WeightWoe: Late in the manga, owing to her BigEater tendencies, Kitagawa discovers to her horror that she's gained some weight and Gojo's costumes no longer fit her as before.

The male lead and Kitagawa's LoveInterest. Coming from a family of Hina Doll makers, he wants to follow in his grandfather's footsteps in the family business. Unfortunately, when a girl told him he was weird and gross for liking Hina dolls, he became a loner out of fear of being ostracized for his hobby, until he meets Kitagawa.

* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: She can be somewhat arrogant, harsh and stubborn, is a little aloof, prefers to keep people at a distance, is even willing to use dirty tactics to get what she wants, bases her first impressions of people on incomplete assumptions about who they are, and often behaves like she's SurroundedByIdiots. But deep down she does have a good heart. She loves her sister dearly, genuinely feels awful for misjudging Kitagawa, actually apologizes to Kitagawa due to that misjudgment, and grows fond of ''both'' Kitagawa and Gojo as people even though she refuses to budge on not (openly) calling them her friends. Deep down, she is much nicer than she looks at first glance.

The female lead, title character, and ''de facto'' main character. A popular first-year highschooler who works part-time as a model, Kitagawa wants to get into cosplay to become her favorite characters from manga, anime and videogames. Unfortunately, she lacks the ability to make costumes, leading her to enlist Gojo's help when she learns that he's skilled at making clothes.

* CosplayOtakuGirl: She is ''the'' embodiment of this trope. Loving all things anime, manga and video games, Kitagawa wants to get into cosplay to become her favorite characters, especially in regards to Shizuku-tan.

* DidntThinkThisThrough: Her FatalFlaw - her passionate and impulsive natures echo off each other, and she often jumps straight into things without quite considering what she's doing. Highlights include attempting to make a cosplay outfit without any handicraft skills, trying to avoid making Gojo uncomfortable during her measuring by wearing a swimsuit that would likely be more revealing than her usual underwear, padding her breasts with ''two'' nubras to make her chest look bigger with the Shizuku cosplay despite her outfit being fitted to her exact measurements with no leeway, booking her and Gojo a room at a Love Hotel for a cosplay shoot instead of a studio, or immediately consuming all the food Gojo gives her which is supposed to be for the morning after.
* DitzyGenius: Kitagawa, being a massive geek, is very easily this. She's knowledgeable about otaku culture, open-minded and overall intelligent, but she's [[RidiculousProcrastinator lazy]], impractical with handiwork, and can be clumsy.

* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: [[PoorCommunicationKills Because they didn't communicate the deadlines for a cosplay convention properly]], Gojo crunches to finish her dress in the span of two weeks, all while juggling school tests, managing the family shop, and having to care for his injured grandpa; he works himself to the point of exhaustion. Kitagawa breaks into tears realizing that he was working himself sick just for her, and apologizes for putting him in that situation. He apologizes too for not being more open and on the same page as her.
* NervesOfSteel: Downplayed as it's not during a life or death situation. Kitagawa takes Juju's harsh remarks in stride, never once caring or even paying attention to how one of her cosplay idols frankly does not like her and constantly snipes at her. Her feelings are never hurt and she barely seems to give a damn, which annoys Juju to no end since she can't ever get a reaction from Kitagawa.
* NiceGirl: It might be easy to get the wrong impression by her ClassPrincess looks, but Kitagawa is a very kind and friendly person, and also a loyal and supportive friend who's always open-minded. It helps Gojo open up to her while he's still got almost no social connections in their school.

* SupportingProtagonist: Kitagawa is both the title character and main character with Gojo as her LoveInterest. While Gojo's growth as a person and her role in his development are major aspects of the series, Kitagawa's perspective and internal thoughts increasingly become the focal point of the story as she reconciles with her own development as a person even beyond her relationship with Gojo. In fact, she's the one who catches feelings first, and we see her internal thoughts much more frequently as a result. It's her wants, her needs, her dreams, her desires, and her experiences that drive the story forward, with Gojo alongside her as her LoveInterest and de facto BestFriend. She is Gojo's guide in moving forward as a person and artist, and it is Kitagawa's sheer force of personality that inspires Gojo to do what he does for her, because for Kitagawa to succeed in her courtship of him, he has to overcome his insecurities with her help.

* IWorkAlone: Until she met Kitagawa, she refused to work or join up with other cosplayers, even to the point of refusing to attend events.

* FanGirl: [[spoiler:Though it was thought that Akira hated Marin for some unknown reason, the truth was quite the opposite. As it turns out, she's been enamored by Marin and her cosplays since the first time she saw pictures posted on her social media. Even going so far as to call Marin her "Princess" and gushing and crying about how pretty she was when the truth came out. The reason Akira was seemingly so standoffish and cold upon first meeting her and not wanting to talk to her was because being so close to the object of her admiration made her clam up from nervousness.}}

* EntertaininglyWrong: She assumes it's normal for her cousin to have some female lingerie for himself, unaware that it's actually for Kitagawa's costume; since she sometimes likes to wear male boxers.

* RedOniBlueOni: The Blue to Kitagawa's Red.

* HateAtFirstSight: "Hate" may be a stretch, but Chitose took notice that she remained silent during the whole conversation until Kitagawa left the room. When Gojo accidentally eavesdrops on their conversation in the smoking room, she confesses that she wants absolutely ''nothing'' to do with Kitagawa.
** [[spoiler: SubvertedTrope: Subverted ''hard'' when it's revealed in Chapter 85 that she doesn't hate Marin - she absolutely ''adores'' her. She ignores Marin because she's too embarrassed to talk to her.]]

* DidntThinkThisThrough: Her FatalFlaw - her passionate and impulsive natures echo off each other, and she often jumps straight into things without quite considering what she's doing. Highlights include attempting to make a cosplay outfit without any handicraft skills, trying to avoid making Gojo uncomfortable during her measuring by wearing a swimsuit that would likely be more revealing than her usual underwear, padding her breasts with ''two'' nubras to make her chest look bigger with the Shizuku cosplay, booking her and Gojo a room at a Love Hotel for a cosplay shoot instead of a studio, or immediately consuming all the food Gojo gives her which is supposed to be for the morning after.

* MsFanservice: Quite a bit of screentime after she begins her friendship with Gojo is dedicated to showing off various parts of her body. In episode 2 alone, a majority of the episode is spent with Gojo taking her measurements while she wears a swimsuit, with a healthy dose of breast bounce for good measure. A much later chapter of the manga even shows her topless, with NippleAndDimed ''averted''.
