Yuri Plisetsky

Yuri Plisetsky, also known as Ice Tiger of Russia, Kitten, Koneko-chan, Russian Fairy, Russian Punk, Yankee, Yurio and Yurochka, is one of the main characters from the Yuri!!! on Ice series.
== Charactah Account ==
Yuri is a 15-year-old Russian skater who is getting ready for his debut in the senior division. He is talented, but also very short-tempered and irritable.
Yuri is very ambitious and is determined to become the best of the best in figure skating. Contrary to his beauty and grace on the ice, once Yuri steps out of the rink he becomes foul-mouthed, rude, and dismissive of othersーearning him his second nickname, the Russian Punk. To ensure he gets what he wants, Yuri is not above threatening or intimidating his competition. He is short-tempered and very accustomed to yelling.
Yuri is both very critical of himself, and determined to impress Victor. He despises being underestimated and projects a strong air of confidenceーstrong enough to come across as arrogance, instead. He is prone to seeing other athletes as his rivals, and therefore his enemies. While Yuri has been noted to not take training seriously at first, he has the ability to undertake highly rigorous training in order to do well, and does so without complaining.
