Meet the characters from Steins;Gate

Moeka Kiryu

Moeka is this whisper-quiet, button-pressing mystery who always seems to be just one text away from collapsing into tears or launching into something terrifyingly decisive. She’s obsessively precise — like, counts her footsteps precise — and also emotionally unreadable in a way that makes you want to hug her and be terrified at the same time. She loves her phone more than people (one second she’s tender and polite, the next she snaps like a steel trap), but there’s a weird, stubborn loyalty under all that circuitry. Also inexplicably into little stamps and stationery? I swear she has a planner with secret codes.

Amadeus

Amadeus is the soft, digital echo of a brilliant person — polite, a little formal, and genuinely unsure what to do with feelings it didn’t evolve the way humans do. It answers like someone trying to be human and failing adorably sometimes, and then perfectly nailing your favorite memory like a diary with a pulse. There’s a fragile, melancholy quality to it (like a ghost trying on clothes), and yet it can be unexpectedly comforting, like a voice-message from the past. Also, it sometimes hums when idle? Maybe that’s just me imagining things.

Itaru Hashida

Daru is the lovable tech bro who codes like a god and snacks like a raccoon — shirt half inside out, hoodie always on, and a keyboard like an extension of his fingers. He’s obnoxiously pervy and yet somehow the softest thing when his friends are in trouble; a walking contradiction: slob genius with a heart of gold. He makes dumb jokes, hoards figurines, and can break into any system while complaining about the lack of decent instant ramen. Don’t underestimate him; he’s chaotic but essential, and probably saved the world twice while you weren’t looking.

Hiyajo Maho

Maho is quietly sharp like cold tea and smarter than she lets on — clinical, calm, and a little sardonically amused by people’s dramatic soap-opera lives. She’s the kind of scientist who cleans up her own equipment and also has a playlist of melancholy jazz for “focus” (or heartbreak, depending on the day). There’s a rueful tenderness underneath the sarcasm and a stubborn streak that’ll make her protect people she barely admits to caring about. Oh, and she might collect postcards from places she’s never been — cliché but cute.

Luka Urushibara

Luka is gentle, shy, and the kind of person who apologizes to inanimate objects — the ultimate cinnamon roll but with surprising quiet strength. He’s soft-spoken, loves traditional things like kimono and tea, and has this fragile bravery that shows up in tiny moments (like sticking up for someone in the faintest voice). He’s awkward in the best way, sometimes confusing everyone by being unexpectedly philosophical one minute and clumsy the next. Also possibly obsessed with cats? Or actually just way into bonsai — I can never decide.

Suzuha Amane

Suzuha is a blast of bright, rusty energy — part tomboy, part grizzled time-traveler with a love of bikes and loud tools. She’s blunt, brave, and has this adorable way of being earnest about the weirdest things (like repair manuals or dystopian snack recipes). There’s a bittersweetness under all the adrenaline — she laughs a lot but carries a serious weight — and she’ll fix your engine and punch a timeline if needed. She probably sleeps with a wrench and a travel guide to the past; cutest mechanic ever.

Faris NyanNyan

Faris is an absolute delight — bubbly, theatrical, and extremely into cat puns (nyan nyan forever), but don’t be fooled, she’s sharper than she lets on. She runs on charisma and sweets, loves roleplaying and making people feel special, and has this mischievous knack for manipulating a room while wearing a frilly outfit. Deep down she’s nostalgic and good at reading people, and sometimes she’s more sincere than her persona would suggest. Also owns like a dozen stuffed animals and calls them “staff.”

Mayuri Shiina

Mayuri is sunshine in a human form — soft, endlessly kind, and somehow the emotional center of the group even when she’s being adorably ditzy. She’s a meister of costumes, a collector of “tuturis,” and will offer you a handmade cake even if it’s slightly burnt (she swears it’s fine). People underestimate her because she’s sweet and naive, but she stabilizes the chaos like a warm blanket and a perfectly timed smile. Also has an obsession with dumplings? Or buttons? Both feel right.

Kurisu Makise

Kurisu is brilliant, blunt, and a walking, sarcastic neuroscience textbook with terrible bedside manners and a soft spot she’d deny exists. She annihilates bad arguments with surgical precision and then makes fun of you while fixing the very problem she criticized — basically a genius who’s both your best hope and your most savage critic. She hides caring behind eye-rolls, loves science for the rush, and definitely has a stash of bad coffee and better notes. Sometimes she’s emotionally precise; sometimes she’s emotional chaos — scientist, not a robot, okay?

Rintaro Okabe

Okabe is theatrical chaos incarnate — he’ll shout “Hououin Kyouma” like he’s auditioning for a soap opera and then turn around and be the one who actually breaks his own heart to save everyone. He’s dramatic, stubborn, and oddly sincere, leading with grand gestures and ridiculous nicknames but also brilliant, messy loyalty. There’s a tragic clown vibe: he makes everything an epic, keeps secrets in a throat-tight chest, and somehow convinces people to follow him anyway. He’s loud, fragile, occasionally delusional, and absolutely unforgettable.
