Natsuki (Doki Doki Literature Club!)

Natsuki (ナツキ) is one of the five main characters in Doki Doki Literature Club!, one of the five members of the Literature Club, and one of the three characters for whom the player can write poems.

Why She Rocks

 * 1) Natsuki appears to be a brash, blunt, cranky, and seemingly arrogant girl at first, with a cute, softer interior as a result of insecurity, convincing Monika enough to class her as the embodiment of a tsundere.
 * 2) While she does hate being called cute, her cranky then suddenly soft spoken mood, and her hobby of reading manga, her love for cute things like cats, or hiding in embarrassment and stay in awkward silence, it's hard for the protagonist to resist calling her cute.
 * 3) She's also good at cooking, since she and the protagonist had fun making the ingredients together.
 * 4) She also likes poems with cuter, happier words, though her own poems are still about sad things, such as being persecuted for the protagonist's hobbies.
 * 5) Natsuki has her brash but sometimes happy-go-lucky nature, her backstory is dark and depressing.
 * 6) * She was raised by an abusive father, who almost never feeds her, and gets beaten by him. As this resulted her to only stay at school rather than her own home to avoid getting abused.
 * 7) ** Natsuki's father finds her manga very childish, and she fears what would happen if he caught her reading it.
 * 8) * Her insecurity is what kept her away from others, to avoid being laughed or mocked at.
 * 9) Her cute design. A small figure, with short, pink hair with red ribbons plus twin tails and a fang in her mouth. What's not to love?
 * 10) "Manga is literature!"

Trivia

 * Natsuki is the only character who doesn't have a death scene.
 * Natsuki's version of "Okay, Everyone!" involves a much simpler tune consisting of a recorder xylophone duet, though it is slightly off-tempo, representing her childish and simplistic nature.
 * Her poems are usually the shortest and most "childish" of the group, with playful and simple music, contrasting with the messages of her poems, which are usually more hard-hitting and serious.
