*This article is about the character, for the eponymous ep. of the same name, click here.*

## Appearances

### Debut

* "True Love" (faceless appearance)

**Yuri** (ยูริ) is the central antagonist of *Girl from Nowhere*, also being Nanno's elusive archrival. She favors taking violent revenge over giving people reasonable karma, in contrast to Nanno, and often inserts herself into Nanno's exploits. She is portrayed by Chanya McClory.

## Biography

She made her cameo appearance, as a regular student who Nanno takes an interest in for her mission to take down the sociopathic mean girls who tortured Yuri by getting her raped and recording her for their sadistic pleasures.

Yuri is initially introduced as an obeying schoolgirl, always agreeing with her two friends, Nana and Tuptim. They were very protective over her, and didn't let anyone say a mean thing about her. Whomever, she was their servant, not their friend. When Nanno came into their school, she focused on them, probably beacuse of their money-based relationship. The girls bought her nice things, like new bags or gave her money. It was implied, that she felt guilty when one of them did that, since she was a poor girl with a mother, barely even living. Even when Nanno tried to change it, she stayed loyal to the girls. However, that all was just a part of her violent plan to end Nana and Tuptim.

Yuri proceed to hire two men to do the same thing to them, that they did to other girls. After sexually torturing and raping the girls as the men had been paid to do, the men suddenly turned against her instead, drowning her in the same water Nanno was in. As she drowned, she consumed Nanno's blood, becoming essentially immortal in the process, and doning her powers identically.

## Physical appearance

Yuri is a long-haired girl with dark, brown eyes. She has side-swept bangs, and wears her dark hair in a ponytail, with the addition of a red ribbon, that's also a significant and recognizable sign. She wears a similar uniform to Nanno, that changes based on the school they're in.

## Personality and traits

While around other people, she tries to show them that she is innocent, lively and nice, Yuri is an anti-social selfish younger girl. After getting Nanno's powers, she uses them for her idea of another world, where she gives innocent people demise and cruelly abuse others to get revenge. She has no pastime in giving karma to these who commit terrible things that damage others, she solely cares about herself, enjoying bloodlust. It is implied that she was sadistic long before meeting Nanno, driven nearly to madness because of her social exclusion and being bullied. She was shown to be too polite or scared to call out Tuptim and Nana for using her, and was jealous of Nanno's personality, wealth, and appearance.

Yuri reveals her true colors at the end of her origin episode, and more so when she gets Nanno's powers, to the point she is revealed to be a psychopathic tyrant hell-bent on killing and torturing anyone, regardless whether they are evil or innocent and destroy Nanno so that she could put the world under her thumb and control it the way she wants it.

She's also a master manipulator, using people for her own needs. Thinking that she's the best, she tries to eliminate Nanno every time they are together, knowing that she got her powers from her. She tends to mimic Nanno in nearly every way, from certain mannerisms to gestures like twisting her hair or laughing maniacally like her. However, Yuri showed genuine care and love for her mother before being betrayed by Nana and Tuptim, and was also a studious and hardworking student. It is likely that her immaturity and crave for revenge is responsible for her sudden and violent change in personality.

She attempts to be secretive, manipulative, and sly similarly to Nanno. If anything it can come off as ‘playing with your food’ when her impatience gets in the way. She has the capability to be very good at what Nanno does, if not on the same level or even better, but when she gets bored she can screw herself over. A good quote that can sum up Yuri’s judgement is: play stupid games win stupid prizes. She is very driven to succeed and sees giving judgement as a goal of hers; another score for her and nothing about morals or rights and wrongs. This is thanks to her own story; and why she is more emotionally driven whilst Nanno is beyond true neutral. She used her trauma and scars as motivators, and kept patiently playing ‘a game’ until she was triggered to take action and end the cycle. Which was what we expected, however she decided to take over their throne-- to be the one with power and no longer be a victim.

## Powers and abilities

* **Immortality**: After consuming Nanno's blood in the bathtub, Yuri now has Nanno's abilities, including immortality. Death does not confine her, and she always revives.
* **Teleportation**: Yuri appears to arrive in placed after being seen in another, and travels at unhuman levels, seemingly.
* **Mental manipulation**: Similarly to Nanno, Yuri can influence the minds of humans with a few words, driving them mad, insane, or getting them to do what she wants, in a sense.

## Trivia

* She is the first and only character in the series to have an episode named after her.
* It is unknown if she has doned all of Nanno's abilities.
* While Nanno may have taken some inspiration from Junji to's Tomie, it's Yuri who was revealed to be more similar to Tomie. Like her, she is also a sadistic monster who tortures people and ruins their lives for power and greed and orchestrates destruction around her because she enjoys it, unlike Nanno, who has a more disciplinary way of methods for punishing people.
