Sayori - Sayori

Sayori has a lively and cheerful personality, and her personality can be described as genki. She's clumsy: the red ribbon on her school uniform is tied carelessly, her room is often a mess, she's constantly late for school, and she frequently loses or drops things. Sayori is always hungry. Sometimes, she playfully tricks and deceives others to get food: on Day 2 of Act 1, she managed to eat Natsuki's cookies without her permission.
Sayori suffers from severe depression and tries to make others happy to overcome her lack of self-esteem. She is usually the only character besides the protagonist who mediates conflicts. Monika notes that Sayori's presence in the Literary Club is essential to maintaining a calm atmosphere, as evidenced by her absence in the second act. Monika also says that she tries to be a good leader, but Sayori is better at communicating and negotiating with others, especially in conflict situations. Sayori tries her best to help everyone be happy and dislikes attention directed at her well-being, believing herself unworthy of everything others can do for her.
Sayori is the protagonist's childhood friend. At the beginning of the game, the protagonist sees her as frivolous, silly, and slightly annoying, but begins to take her more seriously after she confides in him about her depression.
Sayori has chin-length coral-pink hair, cut short and slightly curled at the ends. She wears a large red bow on the left side of her head, and has two prominent strands of hair near her bangs. Her eyes are bright blue. She is below average height, making her the shortest character in the game after Natsuki.
At school, she wears a regular school uniform. Sayori's consists of a gray jacket, a warm brown sweater, a white shirt underneath, and a red ribbon. Unlike the others, her jacket and shirt collar are always unbuttoned, and her ribbon is tied crookedly. She also wears a dark blue pleated skirt.
