Description

The Protagonist of the Danganronpa: Kirigiri light novels. ## Personality Gender: Female Age: 16 Appearance: She is tall and has green eyes with backward question mark ( ⸮ ) irises, red glasses, and short brown hair with a few blonde streaks. She wears a dark green sweater on top of a white, collared shirt with a red ribbon. She is described by many including Suisei Nanamura as having very powerful legs. She usually wears culotte shorts instead of a skirt, unlike her classmates. Yui also wears leather boots as part of her uniform in school and detective work. She always carries a red backpack, where she keeps her important detective supplies. During the Twelve Duel Noir Challenge, she wears a dark green coat. Personality: Yui's strongest trait is that she has a strong sense of justice and believes that detectives should always be people that fight towards such justice. Such mindset has lead to her becoming enraged to those who would harm those she sees as innocent and become frustrated throughout the story as comes into contact with those in her same profession that are morally corrupt or criminals who gave in to their temptation to murder. Such unwavering sense of justice has lead to her clashing ideals with multiple people throughout the story, from enemies in the Hanzai Higaisha Kyūsai Iinkai (who believe that good can come from their evil) to sometimes her own allies (such as Licorne or Kyoko's own pragmatic sense of dealing with their cases). This hatred of corruption and evil has naturally lead her to try and go against the Iinkai to dismantle it since she couldn't turn a blind eye to it. In comparison to Kyoko, Yui is more emotionally driven and socially adept, being generally affable and willing to act more like a regular teenage girl than her partner. Such emotional empathy has lead to her be able to even connect with a generaly tight-lipped person like Kyoko and become fast friends. Compared to Kyoko, she is a lot more trusting in other people, and even willing to patch up rocky relations, providing the other party doesn't cross moral lines (such as being willing to invite Licorne back onto their side despite his betrayel). Such emotions has put her into jeopardy many of times throughout the story, with Yui's recklessness getting her trapped (such as in the case with meeting Copycat) or getting misdirected by the tricks of the culprit (such as the first Observatory case when she was decieved into thinking Kyoko was the culprit). Prior to Kyoko, her focus on her detective career has lead her to be rather lonely since it meant she couldn't have much of a social life. It was to the point Yui found herself eating cake by herself in her dorm on Christmas, isntead of spending it with family or friends. Yui has also shown to be rather insecure concerning her capabilities as a detective, often feeling she can't quite measure up when comes to Kyoko or her other peers in her field and believing she's useless compared to them. However, such feelings don't usually hold her down for long and throughout the story, she becomes determined to try her hardest to support her partner. She takes her detective work fairly seriously, and always expresses a desire to to stop the culprit. While she's not quite as intelligent as Kyoko in reards to piecing things together, she is still fairly smart and she's always willing to lend hands in other areas to help solve the case. She holds quite a deal of confidence in her partner's capabilities and plans, to the point she's even willing to risk her life on them. Yui also has a large sweet tooth, often filling up her backpack with sweets to take alongside her investigations. She holds a lot of compassion and care towards her loved ones, especially with Kyoko. With the latter, she often acts like a protective big sister towards her, often willing to throw herself in harm's way in order to keep her safe (such as standing in front of Suisei so he couldn't shoot Kyoko right away). Kyoko's safety becomes her driving force throughout the story as she comes to bond with the younger detective, to the point she was even willing to give up the Twelve Duel Noir Challenge and risk taking on a Duel Noir herself in order to keep her safe (to the point she sacrificed her life in order to save her).
