Child by Rape: Implied, given that the yandere trait goes back several generations and she admits in the basement tapes that her mother abducted her father in the same way Ryoba abducted her senpai.The eleven rivals ultimately serve to build up her bravery to finally confess to her senpai.

Cannot Spit It Out: She had known about Jokichi for over a year, but has been too afraid to confess her love to him because she fears that she will mess everything up, so she resorted to stalking him until she has enough courage to do anything.Bitch in Sheep's Clothing: In the past, she put up the façade of an innocent schoolgirl, when she was really just an obsessive murderer.However, the outcome of her confrontation with the journalist in America during her ten-week-long trip remains to be seen. The Bad Guy Wins: Got away with everything she did by manipulating the public's opinion of herself and the Journalist.Ax-Crazy: Must've been this to some extent to kill someone for love.And Now for Someone Completely Different: The '1980s Mode' is her quest for her Senpai, so she is naturally the protagonist.She eventually comes to the conclusion that it wasn't for nothing, because now she could teach her daughter how best to win her own love. All for Nothing: Discussed in the epilogue to 1980s Mode, where she narrates that, no matter how she eliminated her rivals, being put on trial for murdering Sumire meant that she could never approach Senpai the way she wanted, so she just kidnapped him.It's doubtful Ayano ever had a chance at a normal life, but if there ever was one, Ryoba knowingly robbed her of it. However, she's also actively trying to mold Ayano into her image and spent the latter's childhood slowly manipulating her into the murderous yandere we get to know in the game. She genuinely loves Ayano, and to our knowledge, has never been violent, neglectful, or even cruel to her. Abduction Is Love: The Basement Tape reveals a number of important details – namely that she kidnapped her senpai and kept him locked up until Stockholm Syndrome kicked in, and that her mother had done the same thing to her husband.Also, she may or may not have influenced Yan-chan's behavior. Specifically, she kidnapped a senpai of her very own, gave him Stockholm Syndrome, married him and had a child, who is none other than Yan-chan. Although not appearing during Yan-chan's exploits, as she and her husband are out of town for those ten weeks, a great deal of the lore involves her.
