Sayori

Profile

**Sayori** *(サヨリ)* is one of the five main characters of *Doki Doki Literature Club!*, one of the five members and the Vice President of the Literature Club. She joins Monika, Natsuki and Yuri on their trip to the Sandy Drain Hotel during the Doki Doki Turnabout.

## **Appearance**

Sayori has coral pink hair, cut short and slightly curled at the ends, with a large red bow on the left side of her head. Her eyes are sky blue, and she is of average height and weight. She wears the normal school uniform like the other members of the Literature 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. The protagonist points out to Sayori the next day how she rushes to get herself ready in the morning, resulting in disheveled hair, a displaced bow, and some toothpaste on her often crooked collar.

## **Personality**

Sayori is initially portrayed as the archetype of a Genki Girl, expressing a talkative 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 cunning individual who can trick others to get food. 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 usually the only character shown to break up arguments.

## **Doki Doki Turnabout**

In this universe, Sayori's main appearance comes from the Doki Doki Turnabout. It takes place after of the events of Doki Doki Literature Club- after the festival has passed. During the festival, sexy and seductive Ms. Brown took the four members of Monika's Literature Club on tour with the impression that the four would be able to take their poetry to the next level and tell it to others who could perhaps have higher platform. Monika told Sayori (along with Yuri and Natsuki) that Ms. Brown will be taking them to go tour at the Sandy Drain Hotel. All seemed good and well for Sayori's career journey however things in paradise are not as they seem.

Sayori's trip began to turn south apon first meeting Ms. Brown at the local airport. The diplomatic diva began to habitually enforce her social dominance in a fashion that turned off all four of the club. She was blatantly rude to them; she made Sayori help in carrying all twelve of her suitcases plus herself knowing full well that Sayori didn't have the physique to carry cases heavy as they were. Out of exhaustion, Sayori had to immediately fall asleep as soon as the four got on the plane only to have Ms. Brown use it as an opportunity to say hurtful things behind Sayori's back.

Once the five of them had arrived at the hotel, Ms. Brown threatened her way into the deluxe suite leaving Sayori to have to manage her hotel room for herself. When she was unpacking her things, Monika texted the other three about meeting by the poolside for an urgent meeting. Sayori was the only one who appeared to get the message, so she went to get the other two. Eventually, once all four met up Monika explained the groups unanimous disappointment in Ms. Brown's behaviour; the group agreed to cancel their trip overseas to save their integrity. Unfortunately, Ms. Brown overhearing this conversation somewhat telepathically, put a sour end to that plan, she threatened to forge tapes of sexual content in order to use it as blackmail unless they did as she said. With no other choice, Sayori headed back to her hotel room for the night while anxious to perform for the next day.

At about 3am the following night a gunshot was heard coming from the deluxe suite. Sayori, Natsuki, Yuri and Frau find Ms. Brown's dead corpse in the room beside an unconsious Monika with a gun. Sayori had to sorrowfully watch one of her best friends get taken to solitary confinement while still overseas and being charged with a massive debt due to her room cost. Luckily, Yuri successfully managed to prove Monika's innocence in court (with Sayori cheering her on) while simultaneously managing to prove Frau Now BrownKau and Sou as the culprits, removing any debt she owed her and allowing the four of the Literature Club to walk away from Music Island in peace.

After the stress of the trial and the trauma of her friends being accused she decides to move away to the reclusive Himalayan mountains, she ends up living on the other side of the mountain of John Blacksmith, who she later exposes as having an affair with Aoife.
