PREVIOUSLY:
❀ Yuri has trouble making and keeping friends, as she tends to come on too strongly. It is said that she used to be bullied for her appearance and mannerisms, providing another possible explanation as to why she secludes herself to have an introverted lifestyle. She is, however, a generous and giving person, exemplified by her giving a copy of "Portrait of Markov" to the protagonist and for bringing tea to the Literature Club to help soothe the mind and help stay focused during reading. During
Monika's Talk, Monika states that one time Yuri innocently pulled out a small bottle of wine and offered it to the club. It seems as though she was unaware of the underage drinking aspect of it, and just genuinely thought providing refreshments would be a nice thing to do.
CURRENT OCCUPATION:
❀ Vice President of the Literature Club

POSITIVES:
❁ Yuri is portrayed throughout the majority of the game as being shy, generous, polite, passionate about topics she is interested in, apologetic, very intelligent, mature, and eloquent.
NEGATIVES:
❁ Despite her maturity, Yuri does argue with
Natsuki over their differing opinions on writing styles. While she tries to avoid the conflict at first, Yuri can be very passionate and stubborn, with her outright cursing. Yuri can be innocently insensitive, as she sometimes comes across as condescending or pretentious without truly meaning to. Once she realizes what she said could be considered insensitive, she almost immediately apologizes, repeatedly saying she did not mean it.
LIKES:
❁ Writing - Yuri is an incredibly talented writer, though she keeps most of her work to herself.
❁ Horror Novels - She is a big fan of the horror genre, and deeply enjoys darker topics, especially when they contain symbolic literature.
❁ Knives - As stated before, Yuri has a strange fascination with knives. She may even be considered a masochist, due to the sexual pleasure she gains from cutting herself.
DISLIKES:
❁ Cutsey Writing - Yuri does not like cutesy writing, and, as a result, unintentionally insults Natsuki's writing on a regular basis.
❁ Meeting new people - She is very shy, and meeting strangers puts her out of her comfort zone.
❁
HOBBIES:
❁ Writing
❁ Reading
EXTRA:
❁ Yuri is the "shrinking violet" (a term to describe a character who prefers to blend in with the scenery than to attract unwanted attention) of the club members because of her constant apologetic nature. The attribution is also because of being shy to discussions beyond her category of interest, her interests being literature, horror, and general surrealism, which she examines and articulates expertly and encourages others to follow as well. Yuri's love of surrealism seems to be foreshadowing further events of the game, with Yuri's surrealistic eyes and the game's horrific nature after Sayori's suicide. Yuri prefers poetry that uses metaphorical symbolism and enjoys collecting unusual ornate knives which are implied she may use to cut herself for not wholly specified reasons.
