== Charactah Account ==
Youka is the resident mad scientist of the Flask Plan and Medaka's older sister. She has an obsession with being as miserable as possible, believing that hardship is the root of all genius. To this end, she forsook the love of her family and their wealth and covers her face in ugly bandages with a knife sticking out to cover up her good looks, believing that anything that gives her a natural advantage will only get in the way. Her only close companion is Koga Itami.
When she was young she believed that the best geniuses came from a hell-like environment and she grew up hating her great life because of it. She is a extreme stoic (doesn't show her true emotions) and likes to study. She is intelligent about Biology which allows her to modify bodies. Even thought she had a great life, she wanted to live in a deeper hell so she ran away from home and changed her name. Because she wanted it, she was bullied in Class 11 which is where she met Itami Koga who she loves as a friend. However, she does seem to have a slight weakness of boasting, shown during the fight between Zenkichi and Misogi Kumagawa where she repeatedly extols the magnificence of the person who trained Zenkichi for the fight (i.e. herself) and comparing the result as being far more successful then what her brother could have achieved. She does however exhibit some personality traits of a Minus: when provided with the opportunity, she nearly betrayed her comrades to help Kumagawa, before remembering that she cared about them. Recently, she has also taken up Medaka's habit of sending Maguro flying into a wall every time he hugs her.
