Appearance
Yuri is a tall woman with long brown hair and purple eyes (pink in the anime). She’s dressed like a business woman, with a black suit above a white shirt.
Personality
Yuri appears as a calm woman who is almost always smiling. But behind this smile hide a more callous and calculating person. She likes to observe people and find “young ladies” fascinating. She shows no sympathy to anyone and consider that solitude is strength, and doesn’t seem to understand certain emotions such as love. She’s a controlling person who has no problem with beating a child to behave the way she wanted. Nothing seems to disturb her except perhaps love.
Backstory
Belonging to the same clan as Ichinose Haru, Yuri went through a similar childhood. But unlike Haru, Yuri doesn’t have any scars, suggesting that she was never seriously injured. She won her Class Black in only 6 days and became the chairwoman.

Yuri possessed the Queen Bee ability (primer), which allows her to control and manipulate people around her. We can assume her ability is really strong given that she has no scars and won her Class Black in 6 days.
