Shiraishi Yukika

*"Religion, the thing that became what it wanted to stop. What teaches us about loving one another, is the cause of so many arguments and wars... It's almost poetic..."
-Yukika's conversation with Zero in the Throne Room*

**Shiraishi Yukika** is an Out!Code created by Krimps (AKA TheTwichMan) which debuted in The Possession Arc Pt. 1.

## Backstory

Yukika was once an innocent soul, living happily with her parents, before her mother died in a tragic car accident when Yukika was 10. After that, she became much more harsh, which lead to her being a person feared by those around her. At the age of 15, she met a guy named Kotaro Kagero, leader of a gang around campus called "The Black Tigers", filled with hatred for humanity, as well as needing money, she joined, becoming Kagero's Right-Hand Woman due to her leadership skills as well as medical experience from treating to her own wounds numerous times.

Two years later, she saw Kenji walking into the Aokigahara forest, curious, as well as concerned about his intentions behind visiting the forest, she followed him, readying her phone in case something goes south. Then, she witnesses something she wished she would've never saw, Kenji putting a gun to his head, she's paralyzed from fear, not wanting to startle him, as that could make him shoot by accident, so she dials the police, hoping they'll arrive quickly. Kenji ends up shooting himself, falling dead.

Shocked from what just happened, Yukika runs up to him, hugging him closely and screaming out his name. She then realizes that he's not breathing, nor is his heart beating, she stares at the corpse in fear...

After the incident, she became even colder and aggressive towards everyone, even to her own brother. Even after graduation, she couldn't get over it, feeling guilty that she didn't do anything to prevent it.

She eventually decided that she can't have a good life in Tokyo, so she and Koto both escaped to Turkey, under the fake names of Amber and Kris.

Koto then went missing, causing Yukika to fall in a spiral of depression and madness, resulting in her making several attempts at taking her own life away, but she kept being "saved" by her coworkers.

That's until, one day, when she thought she'd finally be able to end it all, she heard a familiar voice.

It was Koto.
