Yuri is one of the two tritagonists (alongside Natsuki), as well as the secondary antagonist of the 2017 visual novel, Doki Doki Literature Club!. Yuri is a shy and sophisticated shrinking violet who serves as one of the five members of the Literature Club, later replacing Sayori as the Vice-President in Act 2 onwards after she was deleted by Monika in Act 1.

Yuri joined the Literature Club out of her interest in fantasy and psychological horror novels. As of Act 2, she became the game's secondary antagonist, and a posthumous antagonist in Act 3, although she is not a villain in reality, just a victim.

Yuri and Natsuki are typically playing together and Yuri can occasionally abuse Natsuki, and vice versa, Natsuki can abuse Yuri too. However, Yuri thinks that Natsuki is perfect and that she is a good friend.

Good Rankings

Heroic Deeds

• Yuri relentlessly cares about her friends.
  • In more specific information, she worries about how Monika is slowly switching from a considerable and selfless leader to a more manipulative stalker throughout the course of the game, about how assertive Natsuki is, and about Sayori's depression.
  • She opens up to the protagonist with genuinely romantic feelings for him.

• Although both characters are opposites from each other, Yuri genuinely desires to await a friendship with Natsuki and never wants to be her rival, despite the two having a heated conflict within their differing poetic techniques and other topics related to such.
• She is too much of a tragic and mentally ill scapegoat to be considered a villainous benchmark, since she was once a good person before Act 2 and just went to madness after Monika tampered with her code, using her timidity and insecurities for it, only for Yuri to eventually commit suicide by stabbing herself to death since she cannot handle nor control her own feelings much longer, thus dying slowly and painfully as a result of Monika amplifying her obsession.
• She scolds Natsuki of her assertive attitude towards other people.
• Yuri complements Natsuki of her talented baking skills and Monika of her talented skills on playing the piano, and praises the protagonist for having someone like Sayori as a dear friend.
• In Act 4, Yuri plans on heading to the bookstore with Natsuki after school.
• Yuri is a generous and giving person, exemplified by her giving a copy of Portrait of Markov to the protagonist and for bringing tea to the Literature Club to help soothe the mind and help remain focused during reading, as well as planning to buy Natsuki a new manga.
• In "Self-Love," Yuri points out that if anyone tried to hurt Natsuki, she would "unleash hell upon them," showing just how much Yuri cares about Natsuki.
  • Additionally, after Natsuki having cut off her former friends, who typically teased her and mocked her about her love for manga, she maintains a panic attack. Yuri helps Natsuki to calm down through slow breathing and the two become relaxed.

Why Doesn’t She Stand Out?

• Her heroism revolves around nothing more than standard kindness and empathy, thus being polite and complementing other people without performing admirable actions. Although she does plan to perform admirable deeds for them, they are never perceived nor actually done so.
• Yuri is too dissociative and flawed-embraced to be considered NPG. She occasionally shifts from being level-headed and passive to being passionate and wrathful, especially when it comes to arguing over differing poetic techniques with Natsuki or being jealous of the protagonist working with the other girls for the school festival more than her due to being used to isolation, as well as behaving slightly condescending to mask her own insecurity.
  • This is further defined in Act 2, where Yuri becomes full-on romantically obsessive towards the protagonist and behaves condescending towards the other club members who interfere with her attempts to seal the protagonist to herself, asking Natsuki to "look for some coins under the vending machines" and suggesting Monika to consider killing herself, claiming it would be beneficial to her mental health.
    • Despite this, however, as her worst actions were all done out of Monika's manipulations, all these points are only due to Monika's mass brainwashing, which drives Yuri insane via her codes and enforcing Sayori's suicide.
