Yui Suzuki

Yui Suzuki is from an unremarkable family, from an unremarkable neighborhood in Tokyo, with remarkable friends and intellect. As a child, her entire extended family got together and contributed enough money for her to attend a high class private school in a better neighborhood, attempting to ensure that she got the education she deserved.

It remains unknown whether or not the education at the private academy was worth the money, but the friends she made there definitely were. When she was twelve years old, Yui went on a field trip with her class to the beach. While the life guard’s attention was occupied, she began to get caught in a current and drown. She’d never been a strong swimmer, but before she could slip away entirely, Kyo Katayama dove in after her and saved her life.

Yui’s life would never remain the same after that day.

Despite not knowing anything about the world of the wealthy, she pitched in to help Kyo plan a dinner party in her honor, and found that her eidetic memory played a key role in keeping things on track. While her classmate and new friend despaired at the loss of notes their parent had left, Yui was able to recall them vividly and come to Kyo’s rescue, much as the other child had come to her own. A bond was created, and a passion was inspired.

For the next few years, Yui served as Kyo’s best friend and greatest confidante. More importantly, however, Yui picked up the skills required to become the most efficient and powerful personal assistant in Tokyo by the time she was 14 years old. While her memory played a key role in this, her soothing voice, brutal efficiency, and ability to simply see through clutter to solve problems as they occurred made her an invaluable asset.

At age 16, she parted ways with Kyo to use her skills elsewhere. She found a job with Eiko Ueda, the aging actress, and found that her usefulness to other people was…limited. She excelled in the role, but the role mostly seemed to comprise of fetching dry cleaning and ensuring no scheduling conflicts occurred. Of course, she had been doing that for the Katayama family as well, but also bigger, more beautiful challenges. After a period of six months, she left the Ueda family’s employ and returned to work for Kyo.

Yui won Executive Assistant of the Year three times consecutively, and has been the youngest person ever to win the award. It’s no doubt that she’s Hope’s Peak Academy material, especially to hear any of her employers sing her praises.
