Yuno Grinberryall

Yuno Grinberryall is the deuteragonist of the Black Clover franchise.
He is one of the orphans left under the care of a church located in Hage Village and the foster brother/rival of Asta. He is, in fact, the lost Prince from the Spade Kingdom's House Grinberryall, the royal family before the Dark Triads overthrew the royal family and murdered his parents, as well as other royals, but was saved by Ralph.
He wields a four-leaf clover grimoire and is a Grand Magic Knight, later Captain of the Clover Kingdom's Golden Dawn and Royal Knights Squads. He is the human host for Licht's child.
He was voiced by Nobunaga Shimazaki and Aki Sekine as a child in the anime (the former of whom also voices Shido Itsuka in Date A Live, Eugeo in Sword Art Online, and Shinichi Izumi in Parasyte), and Sōma Saitō and Mikako Komatsu as a child in the OVA in the Japanese version, and by Micah Solusod in the English dubbed version, who also voices Soul Evans in Soul Eater, Yukine in Noragami, and Ame in Wolf Children.
==Appearance==
Yuno is a young man of average height with a lean build, amber eyes, and messy black hair. His main outfit consists of a pitch-black shirt with a high collar and long sleeves. The sleeves have brown leather that cover the wrists and upper arms. He wears light brown pants that are cut below his knees and, around his waist, a pair of brown belts that cross each other. Additionally, he wears a pair of dark-colored socks and a pair of boots. 
He carries his grimoire in a pouch strapped at his right-hand side of his waist. Later on, Yuno starts wearing the squad's signature robes. He also possesses a necklace made of a gold-colored chain and a blue magic stone, which has a gold-colored cross and four-pointed stars at each corner. 
After becoming a member of the Golden Dawn squad, Yuno starts wearing its signature squad robe, which covers his torso and is gold in color. The fabric has an intricate design with a similar color palette as the robe. It also has a blue-colored fur around the border of the hood and a pair of blue ropes coming from the left shoulder and connected to the gold-colored button on the right shoulder. The button keeps the robe properly in place. The squad's insignia is positioned at the left-hand side. 
While possessed by an elf spirit, a red tattoo appears on Yuno's left cheek and his ears become pointed.
==Personality==
Yuno has a calm and emotionless demeanor and speaks only when he really needs to convey his thoughts. His manner of speaking often makes people misinterpret what he means. Despite his detached nature, Yuno harbors a strong ambition to be the Magic Emperor, which he developed while growing up with Asta. 
Additionally, Yuno has a sense of rivalry with him so strong that he will go to any length to stop anyone who tries to put Asta in harm's way. He also goes out of his way to make Asta look good in the eyes of others, such as when he attacked Asta with his most powerful magic, knowing Asta would block it. 
Because he spent most of his childhood living with Asta, Yuno possesses similar traits as he does. One is his tenacity and will to never give up, both of which he learned from training together with Asta in their early days. In contrast with his current personality, Yuno used to be more of a crybaby who could not stand up for himself. He started to change after Asta saved him while showing his dream and determination.
==Magic & Abilities==
As the sole son of the King and Queen of the Spade Kingdom, Yuno has vast magic and abilities to the point of being chosen by a four-leaf clover, which extremely powerful mages possessed. His abilities were recognized by then all nine Magic Knight Captains who wanted him to join their squad (which hasn't happened before) and even by one of the four great Elemental Spirits, the Wind Spirit, Slyph. Since joining the Magic Knights, he has proven to be the strongest among the new recruits and almost all the members aside from the Captains, being able to face off against one himself.

Before receiving his grimoire, he was already proficient in using wind to perform various precise household tasks without breaking anything.

This magic attribute is noted as belonging to Licht's and Tetia's son who possessed him.

*Sylph's Breath: A spell, where mana is concentrated around his opponent before releasing a massive wind bullet at his intended target.

Immense Magic Power: As a royal prince from the Spade Kingdom, Yuno inherited tremendous magic power, which has been noted throughout his life living as a Clover Kingdom peasant. As shown in the Magic Knight Entrance Exam, not a single anti-bird flew in his direction. His reserves allowed him to cast different spells at the same time and fought on par with two of the Diamond Kingdom's Eight Shining Generals, defeating one of them. His magic powers were further increased after being possessed by an elf, reaching Stage Zero.

==Equipment==
Four-Leaf Clover: Similar to the first Wizard King and Elf Leader, Yuno owns a legendary four-leaf clover, which is said to contain good luck inside of it. Being his grimoire, it also contains various wind magic spell inside of it, in addition to strengthening his natural magic powers and growing alongside him. 
Spade Grimoire: As the Prince of the Spade Kingdom, Yuno was able to also gain a Spade Grimoire, in addition to his Clover Grimoire. 
== Etymology ==
* Yuno's surname Grinberryall is a play on the saying "grin and bear it all" which means to suffer stoically (without showing one's feelings or complaining about pain or hardship) — perfectly fitting with how Yuno became this way to shed his crybaby past and how he composedly puts up with the envy and hate of others for his giftedness despite being a peasant.
== Trivia ==
* Like Asta, Yuno is a female name, specifically based on Juno, the spiteful and jealous wife of Jupiter in Roman Mythology. His name can be spelled as "Juno", which is the Roman goddess's name that "Yuno" is derived from.
** Juno is infamous for her jealousy over her husband's many affairs. Instead, Yuno is anything but jealous of his rival Asta, encouraging him to become stronger with the two maintaining a close bond.
** Juno is also an asteroid in the eastern end of the constellation Virgo. It's later revealed that Yuno's true magic is actually Star Magic.
