* Uniform (R)

****Saiki Yuri**** is a supporting character in *Blue Reflection* and *Blue Reflection Ray.* She is a first year student from class 1-A of Hoshinomiya Girls' High School with a preternaturally high IQ.

## Profile

On the surface, Yuri appears to be just a brilliant student, but in fact, she boasts an extremely high IQ and has been published in scientific journals. She is indifferent to everything but what interests her, and often forgets to eat or sleep when she is immersed in her research.

While she has a brilliant mind, she is not very good at expressing her feelings and empathizing with others. Because of this, she is unable to make friends, but she has given up on that.

Yuri later appears in *Blue Reflection Ray*, working for the AASA. At this point, she is now a student at Tsukinomiya Girls' High School (presumably as part of her cover).

### Personality

While remarkably intelligent, Yuri does not experience emotions as strongly as some of her peers, leading her to often question herself. She is reserved and slow to make friends, but cherishes the ones she has.

Yuri is one of the few girls with both the savviness to acquire restricted weapons, and the lack of common sense to bring them into Hoshinomiya. In the end, however, she is one of the few girls who is fully prepared to assist the Reflector's in their fight against the Sephirot.

### Appearance

Yuri has long, dark hair with straight bangs, and wears the black, long-sleeved winter variation of the Hoshinomiya Girls' School Uniform, with black tights and brown leather shoes.

### Gameplay

Support Skill
Deadly Kugel - Yuri attacks the Sephirot with an assault rifle. It is second only to Ninagawa Mao's support ability in terms of damage dealt.

## Story

Blue Reflection
Yuri's research into the Hoshinomiya and Tsukinomiya phenomenon's offers invaluable insight to her employer. Yet, she struggles with simple day-to-day tasks. Having never been to a convenience store, she would rather employ elaborate schemes to sustain herself and her long hours of research, than to talk to someone face to face.

Yuri discovers many truths about Hoshinomiya, which she shares with her new friend Shirai Hinako. This includes an important revelation about the wish that Shijō Yuzuki and Shijō Raimu promised to grant her.

Blue Reflection Ray
In her Ray story arc, Yuri is instrumental in recruiting several Reflectors for the AASA, paving the way for events to unfold in *Blue Reflection Tie*.
