What Your Death Note Character Says About You
The stakes couldn’t be higher, and it’s every man for himself in Death Note. Each character uses their own wits and strengths to succeed, but they’re all different in their own way. In this quiz, we assign you a character from the series, and here’s what your potential results mean:
Light Yagami
You're a natural talent, someone who succeeds in whatever you set your mind to. Other people often say you make it look easy, but you work hard to get what you want, and nothing will get in your way. You're honest, and even sometimes ruthless, but that's only because you have no time to waste. Each moment is precious, and each moment could get you closer to your goal. The cruelty of humans can sometimes disgust you, and you often take matters into your own hands, worrying about the consequences later. You've got a sharp mind and the creativity to get yourself out of almost any sticky situation, and that brilliant mind hasn't failed you yet.
L Lawliet
You're a strange one, an oddball, and that's often your greatest strength. You're something of an undercover genius, a towering intellect disguised as someone much more humble. You prefer to do things your own way, no matter how many people advise against it, because you know what you're doing and you know that your way is best. You're curious and critical, always poking holes in ideas to see where they're weakest, and you approach almost everything like a puzzle to solve. You can be obsessive or quirky, but it's all part of your process, and people soon learn that they should trust the process.
Ryuk
You're a trickster, a prankster, a fun-loving menace. You're fueled by your whims and your curiosity, and most everything you do is "for the bit," or at least just to pass the time and see something interesting, which, honestly, is a pretty great way to live. You're a people-watcher, and people both delight and confuse you with all their funny little quirks. Really, you're a child at heart, and you like to nurture that child. People sometimes get a bit frustrated with your antics, but maybe they should chill out, eat an apple, and learn to live a little.
Misa Amane
You're energetic, upbeat, and rather unpredictable. You love to have fun and follow your heart, even though your heart doesn't always lead you into the safest situations. People are naturally drawn to you because of your cheerful attitude, but of course, there's a darker shadow just behind your eyes that not many people notice. It's nothing too sinister, but you've seen the evils in this world and you know what other people are capable of, so you're determined to never be the vulnerable victim ever again, and you'll do whatever it takes to avoid it, all while being effortlessly fun, and also delivering way more than what people usually expect from you.
Rem
You're quiet, calm, and calculating. You see the world as a large tapestry, with each life an interwoven thread. Life is often mysterious, but you know that there's an explanation for everything, and as long as you know which thread to pull, you can manipulate it in your favor. People often rub you the wrong way, with all their cruelty and callousness, and while you're not anti-human, you prefer your own company to the company of others. All the same, you occasionally form close relationships with unexpected friends, and to your own surprise, those relationships are some of the most meaningful parts of your life. Maybe some people aren't so bad, after all.
