Kisaragi Yuri

Kisaragi Yuri (如月ゆり) is one of the 4 members of the idol group Dearly Stars and one of the 5 girls who train Kinoshita Nanase. She is 16 years old and a 1st year in highschool. Yuri was born on May 24 and is a Taurus. She has long dark blue/black hair and blue eyes. She is 161cm tall and her blood type is B. Yuri is voiced and played by Suzuki Eri. She is also a guest character in the DreamS anime Butterfly Days.

Background
Yuri has been an orphan since she was a young. Her parents were killed in a car accident and she found her way to the talent agency and became a trainee. She has been an idol for 3 years and is considered Nanase's senpai, despite being a year younger than her. She is not saddened by her parents' death now because she "wasted all her tears" and "crying won't do no good".

Personality
She is depicted as clumsy and airheaded, but is very responsible and reliable when it comes to being an idol, always keeping out for her image and taking caution at what she says and does. She speaks formally and has a hard time trying to speak informally. She also has a sense of justice, not taking things lightly when someone is getting bullied. Because of that trait, she is also very good at self-defense and is fearless and not hesitant to attack someone who she sees as a threat.

Relationships
Kinoshita Nanase - Good friend. Yuri was the first person Nanase met, and they instantly became friends. Yuri can sympathize with Nanase because she is exactly like her. She helps Nanase in singing so she can be successful.

Akizuki Suzuna - Best friend. They have been best friends since they were trainees. Suzuna acts like an older sister to Yuri because she knows about Yuri's past. She also criticizes Yuri for her clumsiness and airheadedness.

Miura Karin - Good friend. They are always seen arguing, but with good intentions.

Mizutani Risa - Good friend. They are always seen laughing and pranking JupiNus.

Sakurai Kou - Good friend and rival. Yuri often criticizes Kou for his lack of singing skills, despite him being one of the lead vocalists.
