Loner is one of the many personas that appear in Yandere Simulator.
Gameplay[]
If an NPC with the loner persona sees the player commit murder, they'll be frozen with shock for about five seconds. The player can use this opportunity to kill the student before they start running. Most of the students with the loner persona are either very weak or incapable of self-defense.
If the protagonist wears the Cute Bear Panties, any person who has seen the player commit the crime will be shocked for seven seconds instead. After their shock has passed, they will then run out of school grounds and call the police. Once they have left through the school gates, the protagonist will have five minutes until the police arrive to dispose of the corpse, weapon, and bloody uniform, as well as to clean any pools of blood.
The next day, the loner will refuse to talk to the player, saying that they know what the protagonist has done and threatening to tell everyone about it. Each day that they are left alive will damage the protagonist's reputation by 10 points.
If somebody has been poisoned, a loner will report it to their teacher, as they will not have any reason to believe that a murder may have taken place. If a teacher has already been alerted, a loner will run to their assigned classroom, exclaiming that they need to hide. A loner's reaction to a poisoning is the same as a Teacher's Pet's typical reaction to murder.
Depending on which loner the protagonist is pointing a camera at, they will either cover their face or look suspiciously at them. If the protagonist aims her camera at her senpai, he will start to get worried about her behavior.
If the protagonist is in the Photography Club, they will instead stand still.

Trivia[]
- It was originally called Coward, and was implemented in the February 28th, 2015 Build and was the first persona implemented in the game. It was later renamed to loner in the December 1st, 2015 Build.
- An original idea for stalling loners was to lock up the front doors with something heavy, so they could not flee. YandereDev is not sure if this idea will work anymore.[1]
- Even if the school gates have closed for classes, loners will still be able to flee through a smaller door to the left side of the gates.
- Kyuji and Toga are the only students who react to the camera with suspicion, even though they have loner persona.
- Taro and Jokichi are the only students who has a unique reaction when he sees the protagonist or Ryoba commit murder, even though he has a loner persona.
- In the future, if a Social Butterfly witnesses enough murder or corpses, they may become a loner.[2]
