Yuki

"*Yurika, you left your iArm without any sort of protection lock because you wanted us to realize your true intentions, didn't you?*"—**Yuki**, *Dead Or School*

**Yuki** (ユキ, ***Yuki***?) is a character in the Dead Or School video game, a third-generation resident that Hisako saved in Akihabara.

## Personality & Character

Though she herself admits that she is a coward and a crybaby, Yuki possesses unusual emotional strength and maturity. She has been projecting herself to everyone (even her father) as a long-suffering individual, trying her darnedest to live in conditions that had driven many others into total despair for a long time.

After meeting and befriending Hisako, Yuki develops even further, motivating the other refugees to help in the fight to regain the surface regardless of whatever or whoever gets in their way.

## Appearance

Yuki is seen wearing a dark blue coat and a plaid scarf that she used to brave the low temperatures of the refrigeration chamber. Despite having left that area after the rescue, Yuki kept them on until the end.

## Skills And Abilities

Yuki is shown to have good retention and analysis skills, which only become apparent when the war to take back the surface goes into full swing.

Like her father, Yuki has been seen using only rocket launchers as a choice weapon.

## History

"*A third-generation underground resident from Akihabara.*
*Though the harsh living conditions took its toll on her emotionally, she puts on a facade for her father, showing no visible hint of discontentment. Like many other young people her age, she longs to be able to live above ground someday.*

*After befriending Hisako, her determination to do so grows strong and rallies the other refugees to continue the fight against those would get in their way, Mutant or otherwise.*"—**Student Handbook Data (Placeholder text by the Wiki Founder)**

### Trouble in Akiba

Yuki and Daiba were residing at the Akihabara underground settlement, which had been protected by strong diggers who built tough fortifications and numerous traps throughout many of the area's labyrinthine tunnels.

Unfortunately, the traps were not enough to stop the sudden influx of Mutants that came from Budokan, leaving her father with no choice but to seek assistance in Shinjuku after having been rejected by the Civilization Investigators prior.

### Rescue Mission

Accompanied by Hisako, Daiba was on his way back to Akihabara after dealing with the source in Budokan when Yuki sent them a distress signal: A spider-like mutant attacked the main settlement and made them evacuate to the secondary one further below. The mutant however, was persistent in pursuing them, forcing Yuki and the other residents to lock themselves in the refrigeration chamber where rations were stored. Though unable to follow, the mutant's attempts to pry it open deformed the door to the point that it was no longer movable, leaving Yuki and the others stranded inside. Since the refrigeration chamber utilizes a flammable chemical for the cooling system, using explosives to blow the door up was not an option.

Hisako them makes her way to the only ventilation shaft connecting to the refrigeration chamber, located on the surface near Suehirocho Station. Though the rescue was successful, the reunion between father and daughter was threatened as the spider-like mutant suddenly breaks in and abducts Yuki. Daiba manages to enter as well through a wall in the chamber and attempts to destroy the mutant with a rocket launcher round, but like what happened with the Steel Berserker Mutant prior, the spider's organic skin just melts away, revealing a mechanical interior.

After retaliating with a laser shot, the spider-like Cyborg escapes with its prey. Hisako follows it to the surface and manages to rescue Yuki again after engaging it in combat.

### Ending

Six months after the battle, Yuki has since settled in as one of the students of the recently-established Hanamaru High School. She often assists Hisako with studying and may have also had a hand in preparing the pre-semester speech that the latter recited in front of the class.

## Relationships

* Daiba - Father. Though living underground was rife with hopelessness, Yuki was the one who gave Daiba the courage to go on, the latter unaware of the fact that she had her own demons to face. Saving Yuki from the sudden surge of Mutants in Akihabara was her father's main reason for seeking help in Shinjuku.

## Notes & Trivia

* Despite being one of the major characters of the game, Yuki lacks some things that even the optional refugees have:
	+ A standalone field sprite. (As a result, she can't be found in the base train)
	+ A Student Handbook entry complete with description.
* Yuki's locket picture (the one that her father carries) changes in between versions: In the Early Access release, she is depicted with a hairpin and wearing a typical patchwork dress top. In the update, the hairpin became inconspicuous and her wardrobe was changed to the blue coat and scarf.
* In the earlier versions, Yuki tells Hisako about the history of the yakuza during the sub-objective in the Shinjuku surface area. She got the information from one of the spare iArms that Yurika left behind in the base train. This was removed in a later update, with Yurika doing the honors herself.
