==Biography==
Yuuna was once an ordinary school girl who lived an aimless life, always depending on the decisions her parents made for her. One day while walking home from school, she pondered about where her life was headed, and strolled down the street carelessly until bumping into a man. After failing to apologize due to the young man's intimidating appearance, her soon-to-be husband took her to a quiet place and raped her.
The parents of both Yuuna and the young man were informed of this incident, and came to an agreement that the two should marry so that their unprecedented child could be taken care of. Knowing that Yuuna will be forced to bear the child of her rapist, her new father-in-law promises her that he will discipline his son, and at the same time, gets him a job. However this was mainly done because he did not want his son in his house anymore, and Yuuna's parents were too cowardly to object to the marriage. Furious at having to live a more difficult life for his vices, he often got drunk and abused Yuuna, who had yet to experience the worst of her husband's behavior. Eventually, Yuuna gives birth to Asahi Kobe, somehow managing to survive her pregnancy with an abusive husband.
While Asahi was a toddler, her father-in-law died in a car accident, leaving all his money in her husband's hands. Hearing this news from insurance agents at his parents' funeral, he rudely celebrated, and Yuuna's heart sank. He mockingly hits Yuuna for not being thankful for him, and Asahi instinctively tries to protect his mother, to no avail, and Yuuna then pleas for her husband to stop strangling him. He does so, and demands that she celebrate. Yuuna is left with nothing to celebrate for, as her husband took all the money and left Yuuna to take care of Asahi penniless. She worked to take care of Asahi in her husband's home, but struggled to find work due to being too ditzy. She managed to protect her son for four years before her husband came back, continuing his raid of abuse. 
When he came back, he had spent all the money on drugs that ruined his body, and became even more abusive towards Yuuna. He punished Yuuna for not being happy to see him. Shortly after, she gave birth to Shio in a bathtub, showing that she was raped at least once. At this point she questions why God has determined for Shio to be born, but loves her too much to lose hope. It took Asahi pleading for Yuuna to escape the household for her to allow herself any semblance of peace. Asahi committed himself to living with his violent dad, who at one point tortured him by ripping off his fingernails, and then forced him to get alcohol for him. Meanwhile, Yuuna found a place for her and Shio to live, and waited for Asahi to return. She had made a deal with her son to protect Shio until they can one day all be happy.
Taking care of her needy daughter while struggling to earn money to do so proved insurmountably stressful, as she constantly demeaned herself and was too desperate to see Asahi again so that they could all be safe from her evil husband. She forbade Shio from leaving the house, paranoid that her husband might find them. Though Shio attempted to comfort Yuuna, and was remarkably good at easing her pain, this did not save her from turning into a person that was sometimes sweet, sometimes sad, and sometimes scary. 
Shio worried for her mother's mental state, and wanted to go outside to find something that would make her happy. At this, Yuuna relented on keeping Shio confined indoors, and pays the price for her good deeds by having Shio almost get hit by a truck. She takes her wrath upon Shio for the first time and slaps her because of this. Seeing herself as becoming more like her husband, Yuuna suffers from a mental breakdown. While she never abused Shio despite her suffering, it culminated in her abandoning Shio, taking her to an alleyway on a fitting rainy night and bluntly telling her daughter "I don't need you anymore", despite hearing pleas of forgiveness from her.
Yuuna returned home and poisoned her husband's sake, resulting in his death. Asahi was overjoyed that his demon of a father had seemingly miraculously died of alcohol poisoning, and returned to his mother. She tells Asahi that "It's too late", regretting her decision and leaving him to find Shio on his own. It is presumed that she was arrested for murdering her husband, explaining her absence from the series apart from flashbacks.
