Juri Han

Juri Han, also known as Sadistic Thrill-Seeker and Spider, is a character from the Street Fighter series.
== Charactah Account ==
Juri is a Taekwondo prodigy from South Korea whose parents were killed by Shadaloo. Juri is a dangerous, hedonistic sociopath who likes to taunt her opponents and doesn't care about anything but satisfying her dangerous whims.
Juri became an agent of S.I.N and the test subject for one of their most advanced pieces of technology: a cybernetic eye implant known as the Feng Shui Engine. The implant, a smaller version of Seth's Tanden Engine, takes ki energy from the surrounding nature and feeds it to the Engine's user to heighten their abilities and make them more powerful. Juri pledges loyalty to Seth in exchange for the "new toy", then enters the tournament to test her new abilities... and further her own dark agendas.
Juri, being the sadist that she is, has a fighting style built to shut down and frustrate her opponents before going in with powerful and aggressive close-quarter tools. With her "Fuhajin" projectile and "Kasatushi" counter, she can catch her opponent at unpredictable timings and angles. And with Feng Shui Engine active, her offense game drastically improves, allowing her to go for lengthier and riskier combos while active to tear apart her foe.

== Trivia ==
* Juri is the only character to use a four-button Kick system (Her Fierce Punch button is substituted as another Roundhouse Kick).
* Juri's Shikusen has follow up moves called "Second Impact" and "Third Strike", a reference to the last two games in the Street Fighter III sub series.
* Juri's seductive behavior as well as her association with spiders is most likely based on the Japanese Jorogumo myth of a demonic female spider who seduces her victims into holding a spider egg for her before she devours them. Said association could also be a nod to the Western belief of spiders being manipulators who deceive and trap others.
** Additionally, Juri's name written in Hanja contains the Chinese character for spider.
* Yoshinori Ono commented that Capcom faced some criticism over Juri's appearance. Fan reaction to Juri in South Korea, her home country, has been less than positive. Critics claim, among other complaints, that Juri looks too much like Chun-Li and shares similar moves.
* Juri's Feng Shui Engine is associated with the Yin-Yang, the symbol of balance and light and darkness.
* Juri shares her birthday (which is New Year's Day) with Batsu Ichimonji from the Rival Schools series.
* Juri's official measurements in Street Fighter IV were B83/W56/H85. Her official weight was 46kg, about 25 pounds lighter than she is in Street Fighter V. When her bio was first posted on Street Fighter IV's official Japanese web site, her bust was listed as 75cm before it was edited to 83cm. "Big breasts" were also listed as being among her favorite things, but it was later removed.
* Despite Juri's midfight banter in Street Fighter X Tekken talking about how much she enjoys pain and how she wants her opponent to hit her harder. Ironically, Juri is actually a low health character in said game. This means she actually can take less damage than most of the cast before she is defeated.
* In the 2023 Women's Royal Rumble, WWE superstar Zelina Vega cosplayed as Juri in her playable appearance in Street Fighter 6 but with her dyed blond hair.
* The younger Juri seen in her World Tour bears a near resemblance to Korean singer and rapper, Moon Sua from a K-Pop girl group, BILLLIE and the younger sister to the late singer and actor, Moonbin, a former member from a K-Pop boy group, ASTRO.
* Juri's Game Over cutscene in Street Fighter 6 actually breaks the fourth wall by implying that Juri is aware that the player is watching her the whole time. The animation depicts exhausted Juri with camera panning out before Juri points at the camera (i.e player) and angrily yells "The hell are you looking at!?" at them.
* Juri, like her fellow female faces of the franchise Chun-Li and Cammy, has starred her own spin-off series, that being the comedic one-shot comic series You've Got This, Juri!.
