Yuko

Yuko (ユウコ) is high school student, and member of the Devil Hunter Club, alongside Asa Mitaka, and Hirofumi Yoshida. She has a contract with the Justice Devil.

Appearance
Yuko is a high school girl of average height. She has short, light-colored hair and wears dark-colored glasses.

She wears the same school uniform as the rest of the girls in her class. The uniform consists of a long-sleeved button up shirt worn beneath a pinafore style dress with a pleated skirt that extends below the knee, a bow at the collar, a wide belt at the waist, and white, knee-high socks. She also wears sneakers.

When outside of school, she wears a blank shirt with a dark-colored jacket, light jeans that reach just slightly below the knees, and a pair of sandals.

Personality
On the surface level, Yuko seems to be kind, warmhearted and sociable. She quickly becomes friends with Asa Mitaka after partnering with her in the Devil Hunter club, noticing her distress at being shunned by classmates from Bucky's death. She's very altruistic and friendly, being willing to give out her shoes to Asa so that she wouldn't have to walk home shoeless soon after meeting her, and got upset when Asa gave the shoes back. She dreams of becoming a Devil Hunter to avenge her parents' death, and also because of the wealth it entails. Because of their parents' demise and lack of friends, she emphatizes with Asa and grows quite close to her quickly. According to her, she's unable to understand people and has no friends because of that (besides Asa). She has the personal philosophy that her actions are always justified even if they are mistakes, as long as she thinks that her heart is in the right place.

Later on, it is revealed that Yuko's joyful demeanor is a facade for a deranged personality with a twisted sense of justice. She's extremely cold-blooded and shows no remorse or concern over killing people she deems evil. Her warped sense of morality will lead her to commit horrible crimes, like murdering her neighbours or Asa's school bullies, or even make illegal contract with devils. Despite all this, she still deeply appreciates Asa and is willing to confess her crimes to her and even kill her bullies to help her.

Etymology
Like most characters, Yuko's name is written in katakana instead of kanji. However, the name Yuko can have many meanings depending on the kanji it is written with. One writing, 夕子, means "evening child", which fits with Asa and Yoru's names meaning "morning" and "night".
