→ CHARACTER INFO

Character Name: Yuri Egin

Age: 26

Canon: Blue Exorcist (manga)

Canon point: Chapter 117

History: wiki, manga canon, not anime

Personality:
- Yuri Egin's fatal flaw is seeing the best in people. She believes everyone has some good in them, and that everyone can be saved. And that she's the one who should help save them. While she is successful at this in canon when she befriends Shiro (who starts off the flashback arc as an angry, bitter, violent person, and learns to have friends and rely on people through his interactions with Yuri), this relentlessly optimistic view of others ends up being highly unsuccessful when applied to Satan, and ultimately results in her death.

- Strongwilled. Yuri's stubbornness is a trait that shines through pretty quickly. Once she has an idea in her head, she never gives up on it. This can range from something as straightforward as being a teenager facing down a rampaging demon without flinching because she's confident she knows how to stop it, to deciding as a little girl she's going to be friends with someone and not giving up on that goal even though it takes a decade to accomplish it. Additionally, having a strong will is important for her powerset, as demons only listen to their tamer if the tamer is confident enough to command them, which means she's her excellent at her job.

- Loyal. As mentioned, Yuri's the type of person to decide who her friends are and never give up on them, no matter what happens. She's also loyal to her convictions, to her view that the role of exorcists is to save people from demons, no matter the personal cost. This doesn't translate to loyalty to a particular group or institution, she's more than willing to go behind her superior's backs if she feels like her way is better or if she feels like policy is wrong. But once you have her as a friend, she'll die for you.

- Resilient. Yuri's ability to bounce back from hardship is incredible, to the point where other people comment on it. As a child, after she was orphaned the second time and taken in by a pseudo-military boarding school with no choice in the matter, she was giddy with excitement instead of concerned or worried. She naturally looks on the bright side of things, and adapts to make the best of situations rather than getting stressed or upset.

- Intelligent. Looking at all the above traits this one might be a surprise. Yuri's smart. She's an expert in her field, who's written textbooks and taught for multiple years (including assisting a lot of other teachers with their lesson plans and test preparations), and is well-respected by other exorcists for her skills and knowledge. While it tends to look like she's impulsively rushing into things, she almost always has an underlying plan, and she thinks ahead (stealing a key to an off-limits area months before she knew it would be necessary, as an example). Her choices might seem like terrible ones from an outside perspective (for example, starting up a romantic relationship with Satan) but there's a considered underlying logic to them (in that case, she gave Satan what he wanted since he was obsessed with her, and opened up the possibility for him to eventually die content with his experience in the physical realm so he wouldn't want to try and come back).

Suitability: Weird supernatural nonsense? Helping people? Yuri would have signed up for this opportunity, you're not going to be able to keep her away if you tried.


Powers/Abilities: Yuri is a tamer, an exorcist who fights demons by summoning other demons. She's very unlikely to use this ability, with the power restrictions.
She also has experience with the exorcist-specific magic of her world, mainly magic circles, seals, and chants used to summon, bind, or exorcise demons.

Entity Affinity: The Desolation. Pain? Loss? Fire/burning? The senseless destruction of things with potential? That just sounds like her ex, honestly. More seriously, while Yuri herself doesn't have immediate obvious connections with these concepts, they've been present throughout her entire life thanks to Satan (starting from when he burned her adoptive family to death when she was a child). It's a familiar sort of horror.


Inventory: Nothing other than some ill-fitting winter clothing that isn't even hers.
