Natsuki has always been my favorite. Nice work!

I'd already seen the memes about DDLC, and I didn't watch a playthrough of it to find a best girl, but goddamn if Natsuki didn't steal my heart. She emotes so well in the story, and turns out to be the SWEETEST character (no pun intended) once you get past her rough facade, which isn't too hard to do since all she wants is someone to give a damn about her.
She is both literally and figuratively a sugar-packed strawberry cupcake. She looks the part and is so sweet she could give my soul diabetes. On top of the fact that her problem isn't self-inflicted and stemming from within her own head (like Sayori and Yuri), but is from a 3rd party abusing this very sweet and loving girl, it instills a pretty strong urge to protecc her.
It makes it a genuine joy, like the MC said, to see Natsuki getting to enjoy the things she loves safely with someone who won't hurt her, and makes this smiling face of hers all the more precious, beyond just the fact that it's cute af.
But, it still is adorably cute af. How's a guy supposed to say no if a girl asks him to read manga or play games with her if she's using that face? I mean, I love anime, manga, and games anyway, but that face would turn my motivation from "Yeah that'll make it even more fun!" to "If it makes you smile, I'll do anything."
... I'm the pampering type

Fair points all, but I wouldn't say Yuri's or Sayori's problems were self-inflicted. Not just in terms of the twist (not spoiling it if you're not aware of it--unless you WANT me to

Oh it's ok. I've seen the whole game played through multiple times, even if I just play the mods myself lol. What I mean is, Yuri and Sayori are both in more control of their situations than Natsuki, as theirs is a state of mind and not something directly caused by 3rd party abuse. I say this as someone who suffered from (and is still susceptible to) chronic depression, which included running away, crying myself to sleep many nights, and thoughts of suicide. While having people in my life can help, the only person who can truly save me from depressing thoughts is myself. It's all about my outlook.
Though, while you can control how you think about something, it can be REALLY hard to control how you feel. But the first step to controlling how you feel about a situation is giving your thought process a better angle than the one it currently has. Still definitely hard to deal with, but the power to deal with it is in our hands... er mind lol.

From the point of view of the game's storytelling, I WOULD agree with your point if not for the fact that their (and Natsuki's) very existence is being manipulated by Monika behind the scenes; considering the god-like powers she has to alter the others' programming, who's to say they WOULDN'T be completely free of mental illness if not for her machinations? Or that Natsuki's dad ISN'T actually a nice guy and still happily married to her mom without Monika's interference, for that matter? Greater potential for self-control over personal problems only goes so far when you're all unknowingly at the mercy of a power-drunk, high school-aged goddess who can erase you from existence with the typing of a few keys.
In terms of real-life implications, I can see where you're coming from as far as giving one's mind a better angle to think about something difficult from; I've been trying to practice something similar called "acceptance and commitment" therapy, which--in a nutshell--involves dealing with negative thoughts in such a fashion that you acknowledge how much they're trying to help you be safe (or not, as the case may be), but informing them that they're not being as helpful as they think they are and that they need to be more constructive about it. I was moreso triggered at first by your implication (unintentional, I'm sure, given that you deal with the same issue) that all types of depression are 100% in the mind and therefore controllable/curable at all times; one of the hardest things I've had to accept about my depression is that, as with being on the autism spectrum (which I am, for the record), a lot of how badly it affects you IS in your hands, but that doesn't change it from being what it is--a medical condition/illness that's not 100% curable--or give you an excuse to not still seek help from the right professionals, loved ones, and (in more severe cases) medication if you just can't seem to get a grip on it alone.

Well, in terms of the game, it's established that all of the characters already have these problems. Monika just "untied the knot", meaning she cranked them up to dangerous levels, but that only comes into play later on for Sayuri in the first loop and then for Yuri in the second loop. This is revealed in a secret letter you can open in the game's files. When I was comparing the 3 girls, I was talking about their character/progression before Monika starts messing around.
But yeah, there's definitely outside stimulus that can affect us negatively. Mom's going through cancer right now and I'd be crushed if she died. I'm doing all I can to help her. Some people would eventually be able to get past that, and some don't. I don't know if I would be able to, but I know it's fully within my power. I just don't think I'd have the will to do it, with how close we are. But yeah, I'm speaking as someone who's gone through the same stuff. That's when I realized that, ultimately, I was the only one who could save myself. Depression is dangerous. With the wrong mindset, if you don't wanna be pulled from the darkness, then no one will be able to. When it comes to depression, the only people who can be helped are the ones willing to help themselves. Some might benefit more from outside help, but what remains constant is that they also have to meet the other person halfway at the very least.
So yeah there are people who do legitimately suffer from depression beyond just being in a situation that sucks. Definitely not saying that, as I've been there. What I mean is that, while some will have to deal with it for life (or at least a long while), it is ultimately in their hands. Since I know my mindset will naturally fall into a more negative/cynical outlook, I will preemptively do things to avoid those thoughts or set my mind on something else altogether. What really helps is focusing on others. I'll admit that what was helping to enable my depression is that I was too self-centered. To avoid triggering with that, what I mean is... I was dwelling way too much on myself and just causing a continuous downward spiral, or a loop of negativity. When I stopped focusing on myself and put more stock in others, it helped alleviate those thoughts tremendously.
On that note, while I tend to think negatively, I have an easier time thinking positively when in the presence of someone thinking negatively. I do it to counter them and try to be the pillar of hope in a bad situation. That kinda helps to curb my negativity. My concern over the happiness of someone else makes me forget my own similar feelings and actually helps me feel better by helping them. Though they'd never know that I'm not nearly as hopeful or collected as I seem to them. It's only to stay looking strong for them, which does in turn give me actual strength lol.
Had a lot of moments like this especially where I worked, as I was the manager of the furniture department, so when anything went wrong, I always kept a positive attitude for everyone else's sake, which helped me actually feel positive and productive too.

New icon!
I set it as my icons for Quotev (Poetry book cover, too!), Gmail, Duolingo (Anybody else use it? XD), and it's also my phone cover.
Mostly because, if you crop it just right, it looks like she's taking a selfie. XD

Why is she so skinny lol? Is she anorexic or some shit? Don't mean to be offensive but I just noticed that you drew her pretty thin.
👍: 0 ⏩: 2
There's theory stating that her dad is abusive and rationing food to her making the supplies of nutritions for her growth limited, causing her to have skinny figure.
There's even a mod where we xan beat the shit out of her dad. But be cautious as there many references.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Damn. Is there a mod where we can feed her?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I don't think I know about any, but with the very same mod where we can put an end to Dadsuki's Reign, we (Protag) can cook for her. And possibly can save everyone.

The mod called A Brand New Day if I'm not mistaken. And the opening song is a meme. That "you reposted in the wrong neighbourhood" song mashed with Your Reality.
