Yuki Shiraishi

**Yuki Shiraishi** (白石 うらら *Shiraishi Urara*) is a **witch-goddess hybrid** and one of the major characters in "*The Thirteen Arcane Witches*". She was cursed by her mother before the Holy War, 3000 years ago, because of her love for nor just any demon but the Demon King's Meliodas. This caused Yuki, formerly known as Elizabath, to relive her life to be reincarnated each time as a witch, unknown of her position or status as a witch.

Yuki walks upwards a stair case, as Ryu spots her. As he walks past her, she glares at him, causing him to trip and falls on her. She later wakes up in the Nurse's Office, and notices she had switch bodies with him, leaving for class. In Class 2-B, she writes notes down solemnly and sitting as if she were wearing a skirt, while the rest of the class looks deeply unsettled by her behavior. She is then grabbed by Ryu, who drags her out of the room, as she protests that class is still going on.

On the roof, she reads a book as Ryu demands her to explain why they switched bodies. Which she nonchalantly responds that she does not know, which enrages him. She stops his complaining, revealing that although neither of them know why this happened, she knows how to fix it. Explaining that all they have to do is fall down the stairs again, since that was clearly when the switch happened. Which she calls him retarded for not being able to figure it out. He insists they go to the stairs, she declines, due to not wanting to skip out on class again. He accuses her of wanting to stay this way, which she denies due to the thing between her legs freaking her out, which embarrasses him. She asks him to wait until after school, and that no one will know as long as they act normal. As he claims she has messed his image, she replies that he should deal with it, since this situation is his fault in the first place. Calling him clumsy as she leaves.

Back on the roof, Urara reads a book as Ryu complains about how bitchy girls are and asks why she never told him anything, blaming her for his bad day. At first she ignores him, but soon apologizes as she did not know Rin would target her during lunch. She offers to switch back now. However he declines, knowing that she wants to attend class first. She is informed that he also hated her, but now he understands her situation. As he offers to take care of her bullies after they change back, enraged, she grabs him by his collar, telling him that she does not need his help, because it will make everything worse. She informs him it is a girl's problem and that he should not try to help.

Later Urara sees Ryu and Rin together. She steps in front of Rin, asking what Ryu is doing and unintentionally takes the punch meant for Rin. Landing by some debris, she tears up from the pain and blames him for really hitting her. She asks why he did it, which he explains that she would not From this they see Rin running away, confusing them both. The bell rings and she forgets about the situation at hand, going back to class.

After school, they head to the stairs and both agree that this was the worst day ever. As he wonders if Rin will still bully he, she responds that she does not know, but when she saw Rin run away, she thought that she deserved it. She thanks him, making him blush. Afterward, they throw themselves down the stairs, but still find themselves in each other's bodies. After repeating the action several times and failing every time. As Ryu wonders aloud if they are going to be stuck like this forever, She reveals that they have not tried one thing yet, which makes him grab her by the collar, demanding to reveal it is already. Which she states that when they fell, they kissed. She says they should try it, and kisses him, who is completely embarrassed. They find themselves in their original bodies, and she smiles at him before heading home, making him blush.

The next day, she sits in her chair quietly as everyone fears her because she beat up Ryu, a delinquent. She does not mind, however, since this allows her to study in peace. Ryu asks if she is the wild type, since she so nonchalantly kissed him yesterday. Completely unamused, she asks if he is "touched in the head."

After school, she stays in class studying. She notices Ryu and she guesses that the kissing fiend is Ryu, shocking him. She adds that he tried to kiss her and had kissed Nene already as he tries to explain, she verifies that he is the fiend after his last statement, she reveals that she will not report. She asks him to walk with her after class.

While walking, she informs Ryu that Toranosuke is quitting the club. She says she shouldn't tell it to anyone, but does so and states he will become the next president and that he'll be busy for both the council and club. She wonders how to stop him, but Ryu blurts out that everything will be all right if he kisses a Witch. Urara mutters that even with the manhunt, he still can not help himself. Again he tries to contradict her and adds that he will stop Toranosuke by force if he has to, she smiles and believes him. As he tries to leave, claiming that his house is in the other direction of Urara's, she suggests they share a kiss.

She questions him, after his shocked reaction. Ryu questions her sudden change of mind, she simply informs him that she feels something is bound to change if they kiss, she ponders if she is facing delinquency for it. She tells him she is ready to kiss now, as Ryu reminds her that there are people around. Regardless of this, she insist that they do it now, as they have a low chance of finding a private location and that she will be busy with homework. Urara asks if they should cancel it, which he adamantly refuses. She prepares to kiss him, however Mikoto slaps his face, stopping them from kissing.

Near the entrance of the school, Urara waits for Ryu comes to go study with her, she finds him and calls his attention and aks for them to go. Toranosuke, Miyabi and Kentaro then reveal themselves, hiding behind her, shocking Ryu as she continues to smile. He then asks why they are there, with them explaining that they will study with Urara and Ryu as they have final exams coming soon too.

Urara knocks on the doors of the Student Council Office, asking if Ryu is there. Midori being in Ryu's body, tells her that she's busy. However she sees through this and passes by Midori as she announces that she is not looking for her, walking to Ryu, revealing their body swapping.

As Noa and Toranosuke make a domino effect while waiting for Ryu, Urara comes in and tells them it would work better if they use the lever rule. Greeting them, they are surprised to see her. They ask if if it is alright for her to be there now, which she says yes. She explains that Yuri and Masamune went to her house earlier to lift the spell, stating that it was not necessary anymore. She then asks where Ryu is and to tell her everything that has happened up to now, much to their shock.

On the Election Day, during the voting she gets her memories of Nene's speech erased by Ushio, forgetting him and Ryu.

Later, she is asked to accompany Ryu, who is still in Mitsuki's body, to her house, however she declines due to having cram school.

On the first day of the new school term, Urara reads her book as Miyabi informs the others that they should get new members for their club, getting yelled at as they are coming as well. At their booth, she and Miyabi cosplay as witches, she hold a sign with the club's name on it. She and Miyabi then head out to look for someone reliable, as Miyabi informs the boys to hand out flyers.

The next day in the clubroom, after hearing the news of a new witch, Urara stays silent as Miyabi complains about Shinichi and yells at Ryu. Afterwards, she asks Ryu on how he will identify his power. Which he replies that Shinichi handled it, much to her confusion. The door opens, introducing the new witch, Hotaru Suzuhara, which she comments that he has transparent looking white skin, before he strips as she blandly stares. As he states that he is often mistaken due to his feminine face, she looks at him, ponder on his statement.

By the end of the day, after Hotaru leaves, the others argue on why Ryu was not able to kiss him. She comments that there is something off about him. Miyabi questions this, as he seems like an ordinary kid, which she responds and ponders about him. The next day, she agrees with the others on Hotaru, commenting that he is gentle and has gotten familiar with the club. She adds that at first she thought he was a little strange but guesses that she misjudged and feels relieved that he would be a good successor. As he asks her to have some pancakes, she blushes as he calls her president. After he leaves, the others asks why Ryu is going to follow him, which she and the others are shocked to have forgotten that they have to investigate his power.

In the clubroom, she asks Ryu why he did "that" with Nene, being visible angered.
