**Yuri Neuer** (ユーリ・ノイヤー) is the main character in the game. She is the current fiancée of the second prince of Tasmeria and a friend of Berne Darshi Armelia.

## Appearance

## Personality

In the game, Yuri is portrayed as an honest and innocent young lady. In the series this is shown to be an act as she is not a shrinking flower, and she is far more devious.

Yuri is a skilled manipulator who is good at stroking other people's ego. She give those whom she judge beneficial with lavish praise. Her words have caused proud and vapid people to instantly fall for her facade, and she earns them as allies for her machinations. Berne described his infatuation with her as if he had fallen for a dream.

She is also proven to be quite the hypocrite as shown in regards to her relationship with Iris. She bears deep grudge for Iris for being born rich and beautiful while she was left in streets. Deep down, she felt that she belonged to higher ups for her beauty, and she feels entitled to power due to how difficult her life had been.

Yuri’s feelings regarding her mother are complicated at best. When her mother was sick, she was willing to risk her life to try and save it. However, she felt critical towards her mother for putting them in the position they were in. She hated her mother for her current pathetic condition and swear to be never follow her footsteps. She was thought by Divan, about all tactics and followed him to letter.

She sees everyone as tools for her benefit and never hesitated to throw them away when they had no use for her anymore. This was best shown when she showed no care for the fates of Van Lutasha and Dorssen Kataberia after they could no longer serve her any purpose despite everything they had done for her beforehand.
