Sayori Fujioka, best shortened to Sayori, is one of the two deuteragonists (alongside Monika) of the 2017 visual novel game, Doki Doki Literature Club!. She is one of the five members and vice-president of the Literature Club in Act 1; after Monika is deleted in Act 3, she replaces her as the club president in Act 4 and serves as one of the three characters for whom the player can write poems. Sayori is the second member to join the Literature Club, after the vice president, Monika. She is also the protagonist's childhood friend.
When she inherited the position of being the club president, she started displaying patterns of self-awareness and sentience in a similar manner to Monika when she was club president.
What Makes Her Love Exalted?[]
- She shows pristine loyalty and care towards her friends, including Monika.
- She breaks up the arguments between Yuri and Natsuki, other than the protagonist.
- Sayori also compliments both Yuri and Natsuki's poems in a method to end their arguments to satisfy both of them and regret their conflict against one another.
- She is extremely friendly and childish to most people in general, which is appealing to those around her.
- Although Monika is responsible for enforcing Sayori's suicide, Sayori nevertheless forgives Monika, as the latter done this out of despair rather than sadism. Sayori is also virtually resourceful of the literature club, as said by Monika herself, meaning that if anything were to happen to her, it would also affect the atmosphere of the literature club. This is proven after Sayori's enforced suicide, the entire game goes virtually downhill in Act 2. As such, Sayori's sentiments is paramount for a relaxing atmosphere in the Literature Club.
- Even when she attains hyperawareness of being sentient as a video game character, she does not hold much of a grudge against Monika, and does not delete Natsuki and Yuri at all (like Monika done so at the climax of Act 2), and although she decides to pick up where Monika left off in Act 3, she does this out of obsession rather than being fallen when combined with these points, and this is even inevitable due to the status of being the club president causing self-awareness and the literature club being unimaginably tortured under an abusive company, therefore focusing on the player to break free from the game.
- Additionally, she does not terminate her friends in the true ending. In the good ending, she thanks the player for making everyone happy, including Monika as well, and does not perform Monika's intended wrongdoings and retains the game stationary and active with everyone alive.
- While the protagonist is more admirable due to optionally defeating Monika or retaining her alive without deleting her, they have more resources than Sayori as they have access to all of the game's files while Sayori is just a regular video game character.
- Sayori has been heavily affable to her fellow club members in DDLC! Plus, intending to assist each of them through numerous occasions:
- During the side story, Trust, Sayori was the first member to join the Literature Club and her enthusiastic and forthcoming personality was perceived immediately from the beginning, and intended to constantly assist and motivate Monika, even during the latter's moments of insecurities and lack of confidence. Furthermore, Sayori confessed her true feelings to Monika overtime, revealing her depression and having Monika being the only one Sayori can trust from now on.
- During the side story, Understanding, Sayori tries her best to be welcoming to Yuri, who joined the Literature Club at that time, and attempts to break Yuri free from her social anxiety and pessimism by giving her happiness and participating in reading her favourite books. After Yuri sobs in despair for lashing out at Sayori out of misunderstanding, the latter embraces Yuri and lets her reveal her true thoughts. Sayori successfully cheers Yuri up, and the two are more comfortable with each other.
- During the side story, Balance, Sayori relentlessly tries to approach Natsuki for a friendship, but the latter dislikes this more and more as each day passes. However, this reaches a certain point where the two meet face-to-face with each other, and Natsuki apologizes Sayori for ignoring her offering and reveals her a poem, "The Best Place In The World," revealing that she is not typically open to friendships. Sayori eventually reassures her and feels guilt for being too overbearing, and the two are more comfortable with each other after so.
