The Cutie: So much so that the Doki Doki Literature Club! subreddit has unofficially nicknamed her 'Cinnamon Bun.'.

One Noodle Incident the player character keeps heckling her about involves her accidentally starting a house fire when trying to clean up.

Cute Clumsy Girl: She's notorious for finding ways to hurt herself or to drop things.

Even more so in the side stories, where it's referred to by all as her 'hug energy'.

Cuddle Bug: She frequently glomps the other girls, most often Natsuki, who is always mildly annoyed at being called cute.Monika can bring up in Act 3 that Sayori's death wasn't quick and that she was conscious enough to try to tear the rope away, either out of having second thoughts or survival instinct.

Cruel and Unusual Death: If you look closely at the picture of her hanged body, she has blood on her hands.Monika states in Act 3 that Sayori's hanging was not instantaneous and that she was conscious enough to try to claw at the rope, either through changing her mind halfway through or just natural survival instinct. Clawing at Own Throat: After witnessing the aftermath of her suicide, the player can note that her fingers are covered in blood.Sadly, it won't work out due to her suicide. Childhood Friend Romance: She is a romantic option for the player character.

Character Tics: She sometimes leans forward and pokes her forefingers together, especially when she calls the player character a 'meanie'.

Character Focus: In the side stories Trust, Understanding and Balance.

In the Golden Ending, however, she thanks the player for going back to spend time with everyone and making the club a happy place. This turns out badly if you get the default ending, as she quickly starts to go mad with power. Because Monika no longer exists, Sayori gains her Club President role and everything that comes with it.

Came Back Strong: Sayori, as well as Yuri and Natsuki, are resurrected in Act 4.

Sayori is already pretty much broken at the beginning of the story, but it is heavily implied that Monika's jealousy towards her causes her to try to break her even further. Overeating can be a symptom of stress and depression.

Big Eater: It's mentioned during Natsuki's route that the player character should keep the cupcakes away from Sayori so that she won't eat them all before the festival.

This makes sense, as she's in her pajamas.

Barefoot Suicide: She's not wearing shoes when the Player Character finds her dead body hanging from the ceiling.

In the side stories the poem reappears in full, revealing that Sayori wrote it herself and that it is about why she tries so hard to make other people happy.

Ascended Extra: A poem rather than a character in this case - in Sayoris scene from Day 2, she recites part of a poem to the player, the content of which subtly foreshadows her inner conflict.

Sayori: I like you so much that I want to die! That's how I feel! And.
