**Kinjou Yuki** is one of the supporting characters in *Blue Reflection Tie*.

## About

Yuki is one of the original residents of the school at Oasis, living alongside Utsubo Kokoro and Miyauchi Rena. Cheerful and energetic, she is a mood maker, and spends her days looking for fun in this extraordinary situation. She is the de facto leader of the Extreme School Makeover committee.

## Profile

### Appearance

Yuki is a petite girl with a fun and casual-looking appearance. She has hazelnut eyes and long brown hair, with two messy buns on top of it.

Yuki wears a cream-colored sailor fuku uniform with a short, dark brown pleated skirt, black socks, and off-white sneakers.

### Personality

If Yuki could be described in one word, it would be mischievous. Left to her own devices, she comes up with crazy ideas involving water balloons or tasers. It is up to Rena and the other girls to try and reign in her wilder tendencies.

Underneath her carefree exterior, Yuki is actually a very serious person with strong feelings for her friends. She would rather hide the truth from one of them than to risk hurting their feelings, even if it means hurting herself in the process.

## Story

In her past life, Yuki was joyful and happy. She loved playing with her friends and her girlfriend, Rena. When Ash started coming down from the sky, Yuki was one of the younger persons to be diagnosed with Ash Syndrome. The endless days spent in treatment at the hospital causes her to descend into despair and depression. Though isolated from her friends and family members, she masked it well in front of the hospital staff treating her.

One day, the doctors transfer her to a specialist hospital for continued treatment. Knowing that her time was short, she asks her nurse to inform Rena to forget about her, and move on. Yuki eventually arrives at the specialist hospital, but due to confidentiality, the doctors could not disclose which room she was in. This ordeal deeply hurts Rena and leaves to search for answers.

Yuki's condition continues to deteriorate, and some time after she passes away. In her Heartscape, we learn that she was reborn and pressed into service as a double agent for the World System. The cost of Yuki's soul being given a second chance is that a tracer is now contained inside of it.

After disappearing from Oasis, Hoshizaki Ao, Rena, and the others track Yuki down in her Heartscape. After being confronted, Yuki tells them that she puts on a 'mask' because she doesn't want to remember her past life, filled with nothing but despair. Yuki gives the others a chance to destroy her Oasis self because she believes that it would prevent the World System from tracking them, but instead, Rena and the others shower her with love and forgiveness. Rena and Yuki carry on with where their relationship left off.
