## Character Information

### Gender

Female

**Yurine Hanazono** (花園 ゆりね, *Hanazono Yurine*?) is a witch who summoned Jashin-chan to Earth. She is relentless in brutally attacking her as penance for her actions, but is generally kind to others.

## Appearance

Yurine wears her dark red hair in pigtails and hair drills on bottom. Despite both her red eyes being perfectly fine, she wears a white eyepatch over her left eye. She always dresses in a gothic lolita fashion. As shown by the opening sequence in the anime's first season, Yurine stands 162.5 cm (5'4") tall.

## Personality

Despite the fact that Yurine seems rather cold or cynical, she has a fairly strict but caring personality. Thanks to this, she quickly finds a common language with other characters.

As a protagonist, Yurine often acts as a kind of avatar of the audience. She sarcastically comments on what is happening around or being as a voice of reason that balances the foolishness and selfishness of Jashin-chan.

For example, it was she who first noticed how much the relationship between Medusa and Jashin is like a romantic couple, or that the latter has a good side. She, however, tries to hide it due to her tsundere nature.

She also suffers from delusions of grandeur. Growing up, she wanted to be the sole dictator of Earth, ruling all with an iron fist. In the present day, she believes herself to be "Zabiel the Black, Preacher of Evil" and "the most powerful black magician to have ever made a pact with the devil".

Yurine has a sadistic side, but she is still a relatively calm and peaceful person.

## Relationships

### Jashin-chan

Jashin-chan was summoned to Earth by Yurine for no reason other than just to see if she could. She was unable to return Jashin-chan to Hell herself, as the grimoire which she used to summon her did not contain the return spell. The only other way for Jashin-chan to return home is if she kills her summoner, and as such, she spends each day unsuccessfully trying to kill Yurine while simultaneously spending time with her and various acquaintances from Heaven and Hell. Yurine takes it upon her self to punish Jashin-chan for her bad deeds, usually in a relentlessly cruel and bloody manner.

Jashin-chan lives with Yurine as a familiar and homemaker. She has various responsibilities such as cooking, cleaning, and grocery shopping.

### Minos and Medusa

Yurine met Minos and Medusa not long after meeting Jashin-chan, during two separate instances in which Jashin-chan tried to use her friends to dispose of Yurine on her behalf. In the first instance, Jashin-chan invited Medusa to the apartment in hopes that she could turn Yurine into a statue, allowing Jashin-chan to shatter her to death with a dropkick. This plan failed due to Yurine being immune to Medusa's petrification ability, which she attributes to a bracelet she picked up in Akiba.

Some time later, Jashin-chan invited Minos to the human world so that she might have a duel with Yurine. The plan, according to Jashin-chan, was that since Minos and Yurine are almost equal in strength, the fight could only end with Yurine dead or weakened enough that Jashin-chan could finish her off without issue. Unfortunately for her, Yurine backed out of the duel at the last minute, as it was time for work.

Since then, Yurine has become close friends with Minos and Medusa. Medusa comes to visit often, and Minos even liked living in the human world so much she moved in to the apartment next door.

## Powers and Abilities

### Black Magic

Despite believing herself to be a powerful magician, Yurine rarely uses magic. She used a spell in a grimoire to summon Jashin-chan and she has a secret room hidden in her desk drawer that materializes during emergencies. It's possible her strength and keen eye for seeing through Jashin-chan's murder plots may be due to magic.

### Superhuman Strength

Yurine is capable of performing superhuman feats, such as catching knives in midair, jumping several times her height, throwing Jashin-chan hundreds of feet in the air, and throwing a snowball so hard it breaks the sound barrier. A single punch from Yurine is powerful enough to get Lierre hospitalized despite the latter likening a human's punch to a mosquito bite. It's unknown whether or not her strength is enhanced by magic.

## Equipment

### Machete

Yurine's main weapon of choice is a black machete with a straight edge and sawback spine. It has a black handle with a magical seal on the guard. She used it to slice off the meat from Jashin-Chan's tail.

### Chainsaw

Yurine's secondary weapon is a yellow chainsaw. She used it to tear Jashin-Chan to shreds.

### Taser

A normal taser that Yurine bought on the advice of a horoscope.

### Anti-Petrification Bracelet

A bracelet made of anti-petrification power stones that Yurine claims to have bought from a street vendor in Akiba, which she uses to protect herself from Medusa's petrification ability and her Medusa High.

### Spear

A spear she bought to use impale Jashin-Chan.
