Series name: Fatal Frame V: Maiden of Black Water
Canon notes: Final Chapter: Bride of Black Water, before confronting Ouse
Species: Human
History: Bless u Zero Wiki
Personality: Calm, serious, and aloof. Not much is known about Yuri prior to the accident that took her family's lives, but the Yuri that came out of the wreckage was clearly changed by the trauma. The ability to see "impossible" things created a scar on her personality that even at the end of the game she has difficulty overcoming. Her experience left her shaken and feeling isolated, unable to reach out for help-- when she did, she got told she was merely 'sick' and the doctors attempted to help her, to no avail. Yuri holds a sense of bitterness for this, as indicated by her commentary when finding one of her notebooks, where she remarks the doctors said it would help to write everything down, but she concludes that they never cared about her anyway, as no one ever bothered to read what she wrote.
Because of these incidents, Yuri grew to see herself as someone apart from everyone else. She didn't know, and still doesn't, how to connect with people. How could she when she could see and hear all these horrible things that no one else could? She was lonely and growing worse as spirits swarmed her, trying to get her attention. Growing more and more depressed, Yuri became obsessed with death and the idea that she and everyone else would eventually die alone; this led to her trying to commit suicide until Hisoka caught her at the last moment and pleaded with her to keep living a little while longer.
Despite this, Yuri isn't quite suicidal-- she's obsessed with death still and the idea of dying alone, but she promised Hisoka that she would live for "a little while," and plans to hold onto that promise. This shows how much Yuri values keeping promises and the loyalty and admiration she has for Hisoka. It shows up again when Hisoka disappears and Yuri works tirelessly to try and get her back. Yuri is very loyal to those who manage to claim it and will do everything in her power to help her friends. Death calls to her, and she feels the pull of it often, but she isn't one to throw her life away needlessly. She tries to commit suicide under the pull of it twice throughout the series-- once in a flashback showing when she's about to jump off the cliff, and again when she tries to wade into the Black Lake to drown herself (and again in the "Bad End" when she jumps from the cliff with Ouse).
She's also incapable of not helping someone in need. Despite her reservations, she still opens up the shop when Hisoka's gone, despite never actually serving customers before and feeling uncomfortable at the prospect. When Fuyuhi comes by looking for Hisoka, Yuri is at first content to simply wait for Hisoka to (hopefully) return after she goes missing, but Fuyuhi's insistence that she go on her own to find her missing friend spurs Yuri to action. She can't let Fuyuhi go onto the mountain alone, not with how dangerous it is, so she bravely picks up and goes after her, using her powers to help.
While still uncomfortable with dealing with people and her powers out of the fear of accidentally seeing into peoples' souls, Yuri does her best and will use her powers as needed. While she doesn't normally talk about them, Hisoka openly advertises her powers to find lost people and items, and Yuri gradually begins to adopt a similar attitude, getting over her reluctance to use her power when it comes to helping others.
When it comes to people who've been through traumas, whether similar or different than her own, Yuri is quick to offer comfort no matter how awkward she feels attempting. She doesn't have Hisoka's easy grace or showmanship, but she tries her best. She comforts Haruka after finding her on the mountain and offers her a place to sleep, determined to keep a watchful eye over the girl and help her. When she saves Hisoka, she recreates the scene of when Hisoka saved her, giving her coffee (presumably the first cup she's actually made and given to someone else) and keeping a careful watch over her. She cares deeply for others, but sometimes has difficulty expressing those emotions. Mostly she tries to keep her distant from people, but unfortunately finds it difficult to hide just how deep she cares, and does everything she can to help those in need. This shows itself most clearly in just how deeply she connects with Ouse, the main antagonist, being able to understand her pain more than anyone. Ouse herself says that she and Yuri are alike, and it's Yuri's empathy and understanding that saves Ouse in the end. In a way, Yuri can be described as a little self-sacrificing when it comes to helping others, since she repeatedly puts her life at risk for others, and in the Bad Ending even kills herself to be with Ouse forever and ease her pain at being a Pillar to hold back the curse.
Yuri also has difficulty showing many emotions, rarely smiling and her laughter muted. She also can't cry-- A part of the story of Maiden of Black Water is Yuri learning how to cry again and show emotion more freely, though she doesn't learn this lesson until the very end.
Abilities: Sixth Sense/the ability to see and speak to spirits and sense their presence.
Kagemi: Shadow Reading. The ability to see the secrets of objects when handling them, and involves following the "shadows" of the past, of missing things or spirited away people. For example if someone was missing a ring, having the ring box means Yuri could track down and locate the ring. Having just a photo of a missing person enables Yuri to track that person down. Typically she can manage to track them far enough, but if they really don't want to be found then the trail might go cold eventually or get 'fuzzy,' leaving her unable to find the person. To quote one of the memos about it: The traces will attract malevolent ghosts, so it is dangerous to spend too long gazing at them. Yet another risk lies in following the trace of a person who has already died or has been spirited away, as you may be inadvertently following them into the world of the dead.
She's also shown to be very capable using mitori or "Glancing"-- An ability that allows the user to see what people think, their memories, feelings and secrets, amongst other things, at, well, a glance! When Yuri touches a spirit, or a person near-death, she can see a vision of their last moments and memories. She's also shown using a similar ability to see the memories and thoughts of people still alive, as indicated when she touches Miu and Ren and sees their dreams and memories then. It seems implied through that that sometimes touching a sleeping person will let her see their dreams.
Augment Skillset: Communications! Because how else to better utilize her ability to feel others' emotions and stuff.
Sample: a log thread from the other game I have her in. Well it was her first log so if you need anything more recent let me know!
