Sayori

Appearance
Sayori has coral pink hair, cut chin-length and slightly curled at the ends, with a large red bow accessory on the left side of her head. Like the other characters, she has two prominent strands of hair beside her bangs, and her eyes are a bright sky blue. She is of short-to-average height- the second shortest character in the poetry club, after Natsuki.

She wears the normal school uniform like the other members of the poetry club, which is a warm grey blazer with a brown sweater vest underneath it over a white collared shirt with the collar slightly unbuttoned topped off with a red ribbon, although unlike the others, Sayori also keeps her blazer unbuttoned. She also wears a dark blue skirt, white knee-high socks and white uwabaki slippers with sky blue tips.

When outside the school, Sayori wears a pink shirt with rolled-up long sleeves and blue shorts. At the time of her death, she is seen wearing a brown collared white dress shirt, which has a pocket on each side of her chest, with brown folds and six black buttons, the top one being unbuttoned, and slim-fitting red shorts.

Personality
Sayori is initially portrayed as the archetype of a Genki Girl, expressing a bubbly and cheery disposition. She is very clumsy, noted for finding ways to accidentally hurt herself or to drop things. Regardless, she is shown to be a jokingly cunning individual who can trick others to get food, shown after managing to eat Natsuki's cookie without her permission.

However, it is later revealed that she suffers from bad depression and works so hard to make the people around her happy to cope with her own lack of self-love amongst other things. She is also the only character besides Monika who solves arguments within Ms Brown's Poetry Club. Monika notes that while she may look like a good leader, Sayori is usually better when it comes to dealing with people, notably at mediations. Sayori tries her best to help everyone be happy and dislikes attention directed at her well-being because she feels unworthy of anything that others have to offer her.
