==Appearance==
Yuki is described by Embla to have the typical Alfheimer appearance. She is a fox kin, a race of beastmen who take on the appearance of foxes. She has long white hair, reaching down to her back and piercing red eyes. Atop her head are a pair of fluffy fox ears and she has two tails. She is slightly shorter than Embla, being only one inch shorter than she is. 
Yuki wears a standard shrine maiden outfit that is white in color. With it, she has a pair of light red furisode-like sleeves, black pants with a hakama tied around it, and black tabi.
Red notes that she is extremely beautiful.
==Personality==
Presenting herself as capable and polite, Yuki is the de-facto leader of the adventuring party, Memento Mori. She is rather responsible with her duties as leader. Yuki is in charge of negotiating with clientele and formulating plans and strategies. She has an analytical mind and a logical way of thinking. Yuki is shown to be dissatisfied with the current way that Guild handles parties, especially the hoarding of quests by higher level parties that prevents the growth of smaller parties. Yuki has shown herself to be horrible with money as Red had to stay behind and pay the correct amount to guild staff.
As a person, Yuki is generally kind to those around her. She is also rather trusting and generous as she offered Embla a place to stay. Yuki believes in paying people back, part of why she allowed Embla to stay in their home after their second encounter in the city of Yggdrasil. As team leader, Yuki will not hesitate to put her well being on the line for her party members, seeing as she was ready to use a Burst that had negative after effects.
According to Pandora, Yuki's polite and regal personality is explained by her upbringing. In her words, Yuki is a "hoity-toity rich girl". Her upbringing is used to explain her polite speech pattern and her lack of savvy in handling money. According to Cal, he surmises that Yuki spends as if she has unlimited amount of money in her pocket due to her royal upbringing. In a flashback, this is shown when she went around with a wallet filled with at least 1000 bullions due to her lack of understanding of prices in the market. 
She has a strong sense of responsibility as well, feeling the need to go out and understand her people to better lead them. In addition, Yuki has a strong sense of justice. After seeing the way that the infected in Alfheim were dealt with, she decided to go into this matter herself. However, her sense of justice tends to make her do things alone, believing that she can handle this without help.
Yuki has a rather violent temper. She gets easily offended when people refer to her as a furry or when people don't give straight answers. During her interrogation of Albert, Yuki had to be held back by Red to prevent her from killing him before they got information. She has also displayed some slight sadistic traits such as stepping on wounds. In addition, Yuki is also rather brutal, not even hesitating to break the jaw of someone while asking for information.
When confronted about her past, Yuki becomes secretive and snappy. She does not like talking about her life in Alfheim. Yuki also dissociates herself from her true identity. To her, her title as the Princess is an entirely different person and she does not think of it as herself. Due to her mother's presence and the hatred of her retainer, Yuki has adopted a colder personality, becoming easily angered when her party isn't giving their all in training. Her animosity against her home country and her parents combined with her inability to open up to her friends has placed her in a volatile state. This side of her has brought much concern to her party mates, especially Red, who is her childhood friend.
==History==
Shirayuki Honokami is the oldest child of Mizore Honokami, one of the Twelve Sages and the Queen of Alfheim. She is the childhood friend of Red Magdaros and Kaguya Tsukuyomi, with the former being her personal guard and the latter being her lady in waiting. Yuki stated that her life was akin to living in a cage with no way to see the outside world and for that, she said that her ability to rule would be weak. During one of her studies, Yuki snuck out with Red to Alfheim's capitol, Gimle. During her time there, she experienced many things and for the first time saw the faces of the people who would entrust their nation to her.
A few weeks after Yuki returned to town with Kaguya and Red. After taking in the sights, Yuki is met with the sight of one of the Imperial Guards detaining an elderly woman and her grandson. Dropping her disguise, Yuki demanded to know what the guards were doing. It was there that she learned of the plague going around Alfheim. Determined to see how the infected were treated, Yuki went to the Quarantine Zone.
Since her first visit there, Yuki began sneaking out of the palace in order to help out. She employed the help of her handmaiden, Kaguya, during one of the visits in order to determine what the head of the Zone was up to. While Kaguya snuck into the captain's tent, Yuki continued to inspect the camps under a disguise. It was then that one of the patients turned, having been fully corrupted by whatever illness gripped him and tried to attack her. Yuki's life was saved when the Valkyria intervened and dispatched the infected.
After returning, Yuki read the contents of the letter that Kaguya stole. After deeming that something was odd about the letter, she confronted her parents on the letter's contents. Her parents brushed her off, forcing her to think of a different way. After learning of a supposed Panacea called Idunn, Yuki and Red snuck back into the Quarantine Zone while Kaguya distracted the guards. They were able to successfully make off with one serum and returned to the palace. There, Yuki and her friends tested the serum on a bird chick. After a few hours of waiting, Yuki saw the true effects of Idunn. Idunn was a serum designed to suppress any visible symptoms while accelerating the conversion rate. Due to this horrific realization, Yuki determined that the Health Comission and the Gentry were using this plague to line their pockets using a fake cure. As she went to confront her parents and force their hand on the matter, Yuki was stopped by her aunt. Before she was able to do anything, Yuki was knocked unconscious and taken from the palace by Red.
At some point, Yuki and Red arrived in Alfheim and started the party, Memento Mori.
