cantryNatsuki is beaten and belittled by her father on a regular basis.
She tailors her behavior to work around Papa and seek privacy. Papa only occasionally provides money or food.
Natsuki has learned to fend for herself some days and tolerate malnutrition others.
She has a bit of a barbed tongue. Once Natsuki goes so far as to snipe at a peer for self-harming. However,
she has the capacity to seriously regret this type of thing. It's not an involuntary reaction to her trauma, either. She just doesn't always feel quite safe doing her best to be nice.
Here are some other elements I have interpreted that I will enumerate in the indicative mood.
Natsuki never once mentions a "mama". Partners of her papa are never described either. Furthermore Natsuki seems to have a "medium" level of social maladjustment. She is aware of therapy's virtues and actively wishes to have her interests respected, but she is very used to the status quo in her household, and the trauma has thoroughly permeated her ongoing attitude towards relationship formation.
Given the focus on social stigma in Doki Doki Literature Club, the stigma of an initial household setup other than "Papa and Mama" is likely to be recounted if relevant. The mama is currently absent from the household. A present Mama, who let Papa act this way, would be so negligent as to merit resentment from Natsuki. While intimidation can prevent expression of resentment in these situations, Natsuki has clearly not been intimidated so much as to express no resentment whatsoever towards Papa. If Mama left the household through divorce, though, Papa might well blame Natsuki for that significant event; Natsuki might even express significant sadness and self-disappointment that "I was abandoned".
If not divorce or negligence, then absence through death. An unusual cause of death might traumatize Natsuki. Illness is an inappropriate option because abuse, not genetics, is the primary cause of Natsuki's physiological problems. This is what has led me to the surprisingly specific conclusion that Mama died in a car crash, alone. Back when she was alive the household was somewhat more normal insofar as "stressful events such as death are a risk factor for abusive households". It's been just Papa and Natsuki for anywhere from 3 to 10 years now.
Doki Doki Literature Club depicts middle class neighborhoods. Natsuki struggles to pay for food but does not have to actively pay for anything else and even shops for manga when she can. Therefore she seems to not be working herself, at least not the point of interfering with school. The household has a medium-low income primarily from Papa working full-time when he can, sometimes night shifts. Such an amount of currency does not directly necessitate a lack of lunch money, and in fact Papa sometimes even participates in excursions that take up time and cash
Alcohol abuse is possibly present. Going out drinking would dovetail with Papa sometimes coming home late and being "tired". That said it would not be posing a critical health risk for now, and there is not a distinct sober personality to consider.
Papa is occasionally affectionate and not creatively sadistic. His frank point of view would be something like, "Of course I love her, she's my daughter! She can be annoying and stupid a lot of the time, though...
and I work my ass off to support this family. Sometimes a man needs to let off steam after a long day."
Direct sexual intimidation is entirely taboo and absent. There are sexist, homophobic, and generically derisive attitudes in the household.
Natsuki is not particularly affected by developmental divergences or genetic mental disorders. She did not inherit suicidal risk factors from either of her parents. Her hypervigilance has the potential to heal. She is responsible for her own actions and does not make the choice to engage in direct physical violence of any kind.
Please let me know if you have any request for content tailoring, no matter how small. I am depicting the consequences of abuse from research and several firsthand accounts. Sensitivity to this subject is very important to me.
