Ha Yuri Zahard

Personality / mind

Yuri is hot-tempered and notorious for making rash decisions, to the frequent dismay of her companion and guide, Evan Edrok. Additionally, she has been shown to be strong rather than smart, choosing to use her fists and being impulsive instead of using her head and plan things on advance. Her nickname is "Zahard's Effenberg", because of her rough and somewhat rude behaviour. She doesn't care about rules, doing what she wants rather than what's adequate or set, something that really shows the Ha family's style. Despite her usual rough attitude and her notorious pride as a member from the Ha family and a Princess of Zahard, Yuri dislikes the current violence in the Tower, wanting to bring a change to it, one of the reasons she's affiliated with Wolhaiksong. She's prideful and hot-headed, but she's not cruel; she'l lend a hand to someone that needs it and does what she deems to be right.

Appearance

Yuri is renowned as a beautiful fair-skinned Princess with flowing ankle-length black hair that is always seen tied into a ponytail by a red ribbon or fascinator on the left side of her head with bangs swept to the right side, piercing red eyes, a very lithe figure and above-average sized breasts. It is noted that she greatly resembles her great-grandmother, Ha Yurin, the head of the Ha family. Yuri is 180cm tall, though that is not considered very tall in the Tower. The red ribbon on her hair is fixed onto a round ring with Zahard's three eye symbol. She does not tie the ribbon. Yuri has roughly between 600 and 700 years, though her appearance is of a woman in her twenties.

Backstory

Yuri is the great-granddaughter of the Ha Yurin, head of the Ha Family. The bloodline of Yurin runs very strong through her veins, so much that it is said that Yuri greatly resemble Yurin in terms of appearance, even her personality as a hot-tempered woman. This is why Yuri's sobriquet is "Black Snakehead", in reference to her great-grandma, "Snakehead". Yuri became a Ranker within the period of 200-300 years. Then it only took her 100 years later to become a High Ranker. Because of this, Yuri was recognized as a prodigy, even among the Zahard's Princesses and was bestowed with a 13 Month Series, the Black March. During her time as a Regular she did not board the Hell Train, since because it was "troublesome". Despite her Ranking compared to other Princesses, she has been revealed to be one of Zahard's favoured daughters, second only to Adori, due to her rising ranking, popularity and performance in recent duties concerning the 13 Month Series. Yuri also got Green April from Anaak Jr. in the Floor of Tests, being the only Princess after Garam Zahard to have two Thirteen Months simultaneously (in a range of 5000+ years).

Powers / skills

Yuri is a Fisherman, so she specializes in close-range combat like most members of the Ha family. Though she has been described as "level cheated", able to assume any position. Hailing from the Ha Family, the Family with the best Body Strengthening abilities, and plus having received the power of Zahard as a Princess, it's stated that even as a Regular, Yuri's basic physical capabilities exceeded those of a Ranker. A flick of her finger is comparable to the power of a K9, which visually was a big hole in the ground. Yuri's aggressiveness is also depicted in her alluring speed and agility. Yuri has showcased that her main Shinsu quality primary takes the shape of Red Roses. As shown, Yuri employs her strongest Shinsu related attacks and moves using this quality. Seemingly create actual Red Roses appear or Red Rose petals manifest when she uses her Shinsu outwardly as blasts or beams. Yuri has a lot of weapons in her weapon inventory, including Black March, Green April and Kranos (a very prestigious and powerful Ignition Weapon which once belongs to Quadrado, who lost this weapon to Urek Mazino. Urek gave this weapon to Yuri). Yuri also has an Observer, customized and designed to her own likeness. Yuri is among the TOP 500 Rankers, therefore being a High Ranker.

Affiliations

[Wolhaiksong]: Yuri is not actually a Wolhaiksong member, but she was one of the many Rankers present during the planting of the Wingtree. Therefore she has a friendly affiliation with the group, especially with Urek Mazino. [Zahard's Princesses]: Yuri was selected as a Princess, having then received Zahard's blood (through a special method, that injects Zahard's blood in her veins). [Ha Family]: she's the great-granddaughter of Ha Yurin, the Head of the Ha Family, which is known to be a matriarchy. So, because of her status as a Princess and a woman, and her similarities with Yurin, Yuri is very acclaimed by her family.

Quotes / example phrases

(To Ha Cheonhee) "Do you ever shut up?! You talk as if you made me one of Zahard's Princesses!! You think they choose Zahard's Princesses based on some kind of noble sense of duty?! They just make you do it when you reach certain age!! People who know nothing about the pressures of that title are always so strict, going on and on about being 'Responsible' or whatever. The people who really know what that pressure is like try to take some of that pressure away from you, if anything!! If you are so jealous of my life, you can have it!! Although it will just suffocate you anyway!!" (To Ha Cheonhee) "Aren't Princesses allowed to act however they want? Why do Princesses need people's respect? Following someone else's orders is just a way of avoiding responsibility!! In order for someone to be respected!! At least they need to be able to judge whether something is just themselves!!" (To Ha Cheonhee) "If you want a Princess who just says 'Yes, sir! Yes, Ma'am!' to every order like a pretty little doll, you will have to look somewhere else!! Because I'm different!!" (To Ha Cheonhee after she beat her) "It's not a foolish choice. I'm sure of it. What I'm trying to do isn't foolish. I'm trying to make the future just a little bit better. I have always wondered why I was chosen to be one of Zahard's Princesses. Maybe I did want freedom more than a position like this, just like you said. But now, I know why the Tower gave me this power and position. Someday, when the world has changed, I will be a Princess you can admire. I just need to do things my way for a bit longer!" (To Kallavan) "Aren't you going to bow before a Princess? This is totally breaking the military law." (After lending Black March to Baam) "Even with this weapon, your chances of passing this test are very low. Because, the power of a weapon is highly dependant on the person who wields it."
