Personality
Yuri has a very upbeat and girly personality who believes in romance and is an active supporter of Suiren Shibazeki and Taichi Kawasumi's relationship.

She's shown to be very friendly and often is shown smiling. She tries to be helpful in almost every chapter and is somewhat of a confidant for Suiren when it comes to matters of the heart. Although, she understands Suiren, she is still aware of how her looks affect people and therefore, did not wish for Suiren to meet the boy she likes, who works with her at a cafe.
