Appearance
Yuri is a toddler with short messy dark brown hair. She is a very cute girl and has olive eyes, much like her father. Yuri wears the Poe Private Academy issued uniform: a blue dress shirt with rolled up sleeves and a dark blue striped tie, a black skirt with black socks and the academy’s issued footwear which is black loafers with black soles. Yuri is often seen wearing her school uniform outside of school.

Personality
Yuri is a very sweet and kind little girl who treasures her mother very much. She does not know anything about her father, Kemoa Keidrashi, and just forgets him completely. As Yuri is deaf, she learns sign language and really does enjoy learning it. Yuri has a group of friends at her school and enjoys learning everyday. Given that Poe Private Academy is a school for the deaf, Yuri is able to fit right in with everyone. Yuri is learning how to pronounce words as she wants to be able to speak in a voice like most other people’s. All of her friends cheer Yuri on to continue learning how to pronounce words and become better at speaking at such an early age. Yuri is a star student at her school because of this too, and because her grades are excellent. She leads a very comfortable life and almost forgets that she is deaf sometimes, as she is exposed to a world where it seems as though everyone around her is deaf like herself.

Yuri wishes nothing more than to have a father figure around her alongside her mother. Yuri sees everyone else with their fathers and is jealous because she only has one parent in her life. People to change the subject whenever this comes up as the topic of Yuri’s biological father is out of the question.

Story
When Yuri was 7 years old, an unexplained event happened that has not been figured out to this day. Yuri was wandering out in the fields sometime and then smelled something disgusting. Yuri came across the source of the smell which was some kind of dirty with a human body part on it. There was skin on it, but Yuri couldn’t tell what body part this thing exactly was. It wasn’t like how it is in the movies; there was only blood at the bottom of this body part. Yuri was an innocent young girl being kept away from the horrors of the world, but Yuri could tell that this was part of a human and that stuff like that didn’r just happen, so Yuri ran back home. She never told anyone about it.

Later on, while Yuri was still 7 years old, her mother contracted yellow fever shortly after she was married to Yuri’s stepfather. Many visitors would come to the manor to talk to Yuriko. Since Yuri is deaf, she could never hear what the visitors were saying to her mother. In reality though, these were all Yuriko’s friends coming to say their final goodbyes as doctors said that there was no way Yuriko could hold out for much long. The Kitashidas also got a maid named Chouko Nakamura as Yuriko’s health worsened to the point where Yuriko would vomit everyday. Yuriko was becoming more pale and gaunt because of this, and Yuri didn’t quite know why since she didn’t have a concept of death or terminal illness. Although, Yuri did see that something was obviously wrong but was never told what exactly was wrong with her mother. Then one day, Chouko brought Yuri and Shusuke to Yuriko’s bedroom to say their final goodbyes. After Yuriko had Chouko write two pages on a typewriter for Yuri, Yuri read the pages but only assumed them as flattery and just her mother praising her for everything she’d done. Then Yuriko went into eternal sleep after saying one last goodbye.

At her mother’s funeral, Yuri was confused as to why people were crying. They Are Afraid of Her Waeyrsshida told Yuri that her mother was just on a long holiday. So Yuri said goodbye to Yuriko as she was being laid to rest.

About 3 months later, it was Yuriko’s birthday. A woman came to the Kitashida Manor. This woman looked just like Yuri’s mother. Yuri was very excited to see her mother again and asked Yuriko to sing the song that always put Yuri to sleep. Yuri started crying during the song because she wanted Yuriko to come back from her “long vacation”. After Yoshimi Yoshida, the woman disguised as Yuriko, left the house the next day, Yuri was very sad. Yuri started crying super hard and didn’t leave her bedroom at all that day. The spirit of Yuriko appeared in front of Yuri and started stroking Yuri’s hair, then gave her a hug.

Relationships

 * Yuriko Kitashida - Yuriko Kitashida was Yuri’s mother and the person that Yuri deeply treasured. She loved being around her mother as Yuri was never alone and always has somebody by her side everyday. Yuri did not know of the hereditary disease in the Kitashida family and that her mother would catch it soon enough. Yuriko just wanted Yuri to know about it once Yuriko finally had the disease. Arrangements had already been made for Yuri to move in with her Aunt Hitomi and Uncle Kousuke once Yuriko died, but then Shusuke Fujita came along and Yuri could stay living in Vatica. After Yuriko died, Yuri was deeply saddened by the fact that she didn’t have a mother anymore and that her stepfather was now in a depressive state. Yuri did not understand the concept of death when her mother died but did have an idea of what happened. Yuri was in the room when Yuriko passed away right before her eyes and only thought that she had just fallen asleep, so Yuri didn’t understand why everyone was crying at her mother’s funeral. However, Yuri did believe her mother’s “intentions” to be a good one.
 * Kemoa Keidrashi - Yuri does not know much about her father. Yuriko has only mentioned Kemoa to Yuri sometimes, but Yuri dislikes Kemoa for his actions and believes that he is a horruble person. Nothing was explained to Yuri in great detail other than that Kemoa is in prison, but nevertheless, Yuri still hates her own father and thinks that she and her mother can live perfectly fine without him and would have a much better life without him around, which is exactly what Yuri was given at birth.
