Personality
swift
supportive
gentle
headstrong
as a former libero, yuiko has a quick mind and eye that her body can easily catch up to. during her matches, she utilizes this in order to position herself in the best way possible to aid her team; outside, she uses it to prevent herself from catching anyone's ire. she's also very supportive, especially towards her childhood friends: kuroo and kenma. she is also noted to be gentle, always ready to offer a shoulder, but she can be headstrong especially when it comes to someone's wellbeing.
according to her brother, she was once a brat as a child, who fortunately mellowed out thanks to the years; he does note, though, that it could also be because she fell in love at a young age.
Overview | Miscellaneous
yuiko is kuroo and kenma's childhood friend, with her and kenma being friends a year before kuroo's family moved in. initially, yuiko and kenma still had some barriers in-between them due to their conflicting personalities, but it was thanks to kuroo's arrival and presence that the three of them became a close-knitted trio. later on, following her parents' divorce, she followed her father to miyagi, and enrolled in kitagawa daiichi. it was there that she became familiar with people like oikawa and kageyama, and it was also there that she had gotten an injury that nearly ended her career prematurely. unable to get over the shadow of that accident, she was sent back to her mother in tokyo, reuniting with her childhood friends, and enrolled in nekoma high. she agreed to become their manager in order to accompany her friends, and eventually met akaashi, whom she would eventually fall in love with. years later, she eventually returns to her career.
