Natsuki

Nature

Natsuki is a seemingly impetuous girl, brazen and aggressive, but inside she is friendly and sociable. However, despite Natsuki being impulsive and speaking without thinking, she actually cares about her friends even when she is angry. During the game, she is shown to be worried about Yuri and even asks the protagonist to take her to a doctor because she is afraid that Yuri will not listen to her. Natsuki has difficulty expressing her feelings. In an argument, she often becomes awkward, then aggressive. She also likes manga, especially those in the "Slice of Life" genre, and she loves baking. She keeps her manga collection in the Literature Club out of embarrassment, and while the rest of the club apparently knows about her interests, she still hasn't brought herself to talk to them about it. Natsuki also likes cute things, like cupcakes with cat faces on them. She also likes poems with cute, cheerful words, though her own poems often deal with serious topics. Her simple writing style is very different from the complex metaphors that Yuri prefers. Natsuki dislikes being called "cute" even when she acts as such or does cute things, and will deny any complaints from others regarding this, however, she is much more comfortable being more friendly if she knows people won't tease her for it. Natsuki hates being taken lightly, whether it's her poems, her hobbies, or just her behavior. Natsuki likely began to feel ashamed of herself and her hobbies due to her classmates judging her and her strict father, making her aggressive nature a defense mechanism. This is also implied in her secret poem "What I Like About Dad". She is shown to be a very lonely person who desperately craves affection. An example is the third time the protagonist and Natsuki exchange poems. If Natsuki liked all the poems for three days, she directly asks the protagonist if he thinks her poems are the best, begging him to say that they are, yes.

Appearance

Natsuki has pinkish hair and eyes of the same color. She wears a chained hair clip on the right side of the front of her hair and two red ribbons that form two small ponytails. The rest of the hair is short. She also has small bangs. She wears a Japanese school uniform, like most of the characters in the game.

Additional facts

The game hints at her father's domestic violence against her. Natsuki prefers to stay in the Club rather than go home. She is afraid of her father's reaction to her "childish" manga. Natsuki's father demands that she return home by a certain time. Monika's intervention in the second act causes Natsuki's father to become even more violent, even hitting his daughter. Natsuki also says that her father often doesn't leave her food, so Monika herself often brings her food. Natsuki's short stature may be due to malnutrition due to her father's domestic violence. It seems that Natsuki has a Napoleon complex, which means that she may be aggressive in order to compensate for her small size. Her poems are quite short and have a simple style, however the messages in her poems are much more mature and are in great contrast to her writing style. She hates being associated with anything cute outside of Act 4. Natsuki doesn't commit suicide - she is deleted by Monika. However, if you wrote her poems during Act 2, an anomaly occurs where Natsuki's neck ends up being snapped, but then the action continues as if nothing happened. Natsuki likes the manga Vanilla Girls and her favorite character is Minori.
