She is ultimately unable to control her obsessive outbursts. Yuri recognizes that something is wrong with her and that her comments and behavior are inappropriate, enough so to feel something bad will happen despite her happiness. Yuri also brutally insults Natsuki and tells Monika to kill herself. This causes her to have sanity slippages that result in an abnormal obsession with the protagonist and her already-existing hobbies becoming more of perverted detailing and self-destruction, to the point where Monika suggests that Yuri cuts herself due to a fetish. In Monika's Talk, Monika wonders whether Yuri is as passionate about certain topics (such as tea) as she makes out, or whether she is "just concerned about appearing sophisticated to everyone else."ĭuring Act 2, Monika amplifies Yuri's negative personality traits, changing her from a Dandere to a Yandere.
Her poems are so full of metaphors and advanced language that the meaning is often obscured, or even lost.
This desire to seem intellectual and high-brow is reflected in her poetic style. This can make her seem arrogant and patronizing to those unfamiliar to her. According to Dan Salvato, this is a coping mechanism for her deep insecurity and self-doubt, convincing herself that she is the sophisticated, mature one and that her critics or rivals are immature and childish. Yuri takes great pride in her poetry and perceives her poetry as being superior to that of the other club members, especially Natsuki. As stated by the protagonist, Yuri likes to think before she says something. Due to her social ineptitude, she can be innocently insensitive, but once she realizes what she said could be considered rude, she almost immediately apologizes, repeatedly saying she did not mean it. Yuri has a deep desire to be liked by others and is afraid to speak her mind on matters as she believes it will make her seem unlikable. Her facade of passivity and level-headedness occasionally breaks, however, as Yuri does argue passionately and aggressively with Natsuki over their differing opinions on writing styles. She is portrayed throughout the majority of the game as being shy, generous, polite, apologetic, very intelligent, mature, eloquent, and passionate about topics she is interested in, although she is also very insecure, awkward, and has a tendency to act slightly condescending and patronizing to mask her self-doubt. Yuri is the "Shrinking Violet" or "Dandere" of the club members.
