## Personality[[edit](/wiki/index.php?title=Yumi_Sekizawa&action=edit&section=2 "Edit section: Personality")]
She is a mature girl, even more than her sister. With the high-school trio girls, she is shown very bubbly. However, when she is with her sister, she behaves like the older sister. She mentioned that she loves cake. When she was being interrogated by [Megure](/wiki/Juzo_Megure "Juzo Megure") and [Takagi](/wiki/Wataru_Takagi "Wataru Takagi"), she frequently hid behind her sister. This shows that she is unusual with crime scenes and are scared and nervous if she is involved with it.
