Juri Han

Juri Han (ハン・ジュリ, Han Juri?, Hangul: 한주리, Hanja: 韓蛛俐) is a video game character from the Street Fighter series, first introduced in Super Street Fighter IV. She is a brutal South Korean taekwondo martial artist who derives pleasure from inflicting pain on others.

Biography Appearance Physical Appearance Juri's outfits typically consists of dark Colors, particularly dark purple or magenta and Black. She wears an eye patch due to her left eye being damaged long ago (explained below) and replaced with the Feng Shui Engine, which enhances her abilities. She has black hair that is usually arranged in the shape of horns, except in certain costumes where her hair will be down loose. (Battle Costume) Her eye color is purple. As far as her body design goes, Her legs are longer and thicker, and her feet are very large. This was done in typical Capcom fashion to better illustrate her attacks, as she is a kick-focused character. The size of her feet were later reduced to something closer to normal with the installment of SF6. Her lower body contrasts with her more slender upper body. Her height is typically paralleled with Chun-Li, except in SFV, where she was 5'4. This contrasts with her typical height of 5'5 in games such as SFIV & SF6.

Clothing In her debut in Street Fighter IV, Juri wears a purple dudou (a form of Chinese bra-like top) on her chest, supported by eight straps that meet on her back to form a spider pattern. She wears long, baggy, off-white sweatpants and purple tights, as well as long, fingerless gloves. Her fingernails and toenails are painted bright pink. She wears taekwondo foot wraps on her feet.

In Street Fighter V, she wears a purple and pink collared catsuit with a spider shaped pattern on the back, a black high neck sleeveless top underneath, black fingerless gloves with pink patterns, the pants of her catsuit have black inlines with dark purple and pink. She also has a black patch with a magenta pattern on her left eye. The outfit returns as Juri's secondary costume in Street Fighter 6, with the black inner top removed to more closely resemble her original artwork from Cammy's character story.

Her first alternate costume is a blue-green winter jacket, pink and white pants, black knee-high boots, and matching gloves. She does not wear her eye patch in this costume, as her Story Mode appearance in this outfit occurs before Bison ripped out the Feng Shui Engine. Her second costume is similar to her primary outfit in Super Street Fighter IV, her dudou is white, her pants are black with pink and white outlines and she wears matching black taekwondo ankle wraps on her feet.

In Street Fighter 6, Juri now wears a tiny, sleeveless, cropped top in white with pink trim and a green zipper on the back. Black body tapes are threaded under the top, creating a spider pattern that extends down her torso and crotch. For the bottom, she chooses unconventional black baggy pants with pink and neon teal trim and a distinctive large crotch cutout that reveals her white tights underneath. The pants also have green zippers on the medial side of the legs. her right eye remains purple, but her left eye is green

Juri's accessories include black fingerless gloves and ankle cuffs, all with thick pink padding. Four black bracelets with neon teal spikes adorn her wrists and ankles, with a matching spiked choker around her neck. Loosely wrapped around her waist is an extra-long black belt with pink trim and a Taiji motif on the buckle. Her fingernails and toenails are painted neon teal. She also carries a smartphone in a light pink case with two horns to match her hairstyle.

Her second outfit is her SFV catsuit with the black top removed, revealing a daring display of cleavage.

Juri's third SF6 outfit is a light pink, fluffy one-piece pyjama. The garment has roomy sleeves and pant legs. The hood, arms, and leg openings are decorated with accents in deeper shades of pink. The pajama has two hip pockets. The hood is designed with two holes to allow Juri's tousled hair horns to protrude freely. The hood has yellow drawstrings with charming yellow pom-poms at the ends. A long zipper with a spider web-like slider runs from the belly to the top of the hood. A cute pink spider is sewn on the back of the pajamas. The spider's abdomen is stylized into a yin-yang symbol, referring to Juri's Feng Shui Engine. Juri wears the pajamas barefoot and unzipped, revealing her black bra and a glimpse of her black panties.

In the background story depicting Juri's childhood, she wore a pink dress with large petal-like sleeves and a purple ribbon choker around her neck.

Hairstyle Juri usually styles her dark hair into two horns on top of her head, which appear to be held in place with pink ribbons. Her signature hairstyle mirrors Chun-Li's ox horns hairstyle.

In Street Fighter V, Juri lets loose her hair horns and lets her hair down and her bangs are dyed pink when she wears her second alternate costume.

In Street Fighter 6, Juri's bangs change from a blunt style to a slanted cut that now covers her left eye and replaces her eye mask. A small strand of hair on her left side is highlighted in bright pink. Her hair horns now point upward.

In her childhood, Juri had long, dark hair with neatly trimmed bangs on each side. Her hair was styled into two small horns, decorated with pink barrettes.

Personality Juri fights purely for the thrill of the battle; unlike Ryu, who seeks meaning, her drive is much more vengeful, selfish and ruthless, as she's extremely sadistic, liking to inflict pain on her foes, and she's also extremely hot-tempered, as she can easily lose her temper when she is struck back in retaliation or without warning. Juri loves combat to the point where she becomes irritated when it is denied to her like when Rashid refused to fight her seriously, Juri scathingly replied that "he could just die" if that was the case. She displays several traits of a femme fatale, as she makes provocative and suggestive remarks toward her enemies, as well seen in her win quotes; she is also very cunning, as she is not above leaving her partners to further her own agenda. Juri's love for spiders is actually paralleled to how she fights. Most of her attacks involve trapping the opponent around her legs, but at the same time not letting them escape her grasp. In SF6, when both fighters are walking out before battle, Juri's gaze is focused on her opponent like a predator analyzing its prey. Spiders immobilize prey so they can't escape, and, like spiders, Juri loves to follow that strategy.

At times, she appears to be brooding and depressed, Menat claimed she felt a sense of "loneliness" from Juri implying all her wiles and cruelty is just a cover for how broken she is on the inside. However, despite her vengeful and ruthless behavior, she still has some vague sense of honor; during her mission (in the Super Street Fighter IV OVA), she left a young boy alive despite many civilians being caught in the crossfire. Juri also appears to detest fighting children, and views Evil Ryu to be a far more abhorrent type of ruthless, which somewhat contradicts her opinion on other Ansatsuken users. While Juri can be malicious, she doesn't fight with lethal intent. According to her win quote against Blanka in Street Fighter V, she is against animal cruelty. Juri is also slightly hypocritical in many of her criticisms and insults of other fighters, demonstrating that she needs to mask her pain by deflecting her flaws onto others. She mocks the suffering of Cammy and Decapre at the hands of Bison despite having gone though similar pain and trauma in her own childhood. But then always returns to help them in their times of need. Juri also calls Vega a "pervert" and shows open distaste towards him for it, despite her deriving sexual gratification from hurting and taunting others herself. This seems to provide enough evidence that Menat was spot on in her observation about Juri's psyche.

In Street Fighter 6 during her arcade story, despite M. Bison's death at the hands of Ryu in the end of A Shadow Falls; Juri still wanted to get vengeance against Bison, as well as not getting used to the advice of moving on with her vengeance given to her by Chun-Li, following their battle.

Juri may also have been the first openly bisexual character in Street Fighter lore. Her listed interests upon her release originally included Spicy food, spiders and large breasts before being changed to only spicy food and spiders.[3] Despite this, her flirtatious nature with both genders remains, amongst the female fighters, she has taken a particular interest in Cammy and Chun-Li, the latter of which she claims has a "schoolgirl crush" on her although it’s possible she is only mockingly flirting with people. This is supported by her usual tone whenever she makes flirtatious comments, making her sexual orientation unclear

Story Early History Juri was the preeminent practitioner of Tae Kwon Do. Her father was a lawyer in charge of prosecuting organized crime operations. Juri describes her father as wielding "justice like a blade, slaying evildoers left and right". The whole country respected him. Juri included. She did as he told her and polished her Taekwondo skills as a result. Juri was also a perfect student, both on paper and in the dojang. She won tournaments and they called her the "Beautiful Genius." However, when her father started targeting Shadaloo, her family was kidnapped by the organization. During the ordeal, Juri lost her parents and her left eye was gravely wounded.

Ten years later, she undergoes an operation at the S.I.N. laboratory to have the Feng Shui Engine implanted into that eye. The people operating on her note her calmness during the implanting. Juri assassinates operatives in a public area as her first mission in order to test out the Feng Shui Engine. Even with guns, her enemies stand no chance against her, taking them out one by one from behind. Chun-Li was called to the scene to stop the massacre. Chun-Li rushes into the scene to arrest Juri, and arrives just as Juri killed the gunmen using her Feng Shui Engine from the inside of a building. A woman dies in the attack from collateral damage. Juri and Chun-Li battle, ending with Juri unleashing her eye's power and knocking out Chun-Li. As her victim lays on the ground, Juri prepares to deal the finishing blow. However, her Feng Shui Engine malfunctions, forcing her to flee back to the lab.

After getting it fixed, Seth assigns Juri her next mission: capturing M. Bison's elite female assassins, the Dolls. Juri flies to the base of the Dolls with several S.I.N. employees. She manages to defeat every single assassin in combat, including Juli and Juni. As she carries the two unconscious assassins away to an S.I.N. plane, Cammy and Guile arrive.

They have a heated fight, but Juri comes out on top and manages to incapacitate Guile. She boards her plane and straps Juni and Juli to beds with wheels. As it takes off, Cammy manages to jump and grab onto the open boarding ramp, and confronts Juri for one final time. After an intense conflict, Juri pushes one of the rolling tables (with Juni on it) which collides with Cammy, who both fall off the boarding ramp into mid-air. They survive the fall, with snow breaking their fall.

Juri flies off and is congratulated by Seth upon returning. She licks her lips in anticipation, sensing that S.I.N and Shadaloo will clash in the very near future.

During the global tournament hosted by Seth, he sends Juri in to participate; she sees it as a perfect opportunity for some 'fun.' During the tournament, Juri is confronted by Cammy and Chun-Li again; the results of the fights are unknown. Juri continues to tend to her hidden agenda.

In her ending, she approaches Seth, who was incapacitated as a result of Bison's brutal beating, and taunts him for "being nothing more than Bison's spare body." Before she is to dispose of him, she reveals that she was to serve S.I.N. for as long as it suited her purposes, since she was merely trying to pit Seth and Bison against each other - a task Seth obviously was not up to. Juri viciously crushes Seth's Tanden Engine by stomping on it, and leaves him for dead.

On October 2015, a datamining of Street Fighter V's PC beta test revealed fighter data and character meshes of Juri, Dhalsim, Ibuki, Alex, Urien, Guile and Balrog. Juri and the rest of the characters (except for Dhalsim who was confirmed earlier as a default fighter) were later confirmed on December 5th, 2015 at the PlayStation Experience.

Shortly after the fall of S.I.N., Juri faces off against Bison again to avenge her family. However, Bison quickly gets behind her, attacks her with Psycho Power and grabs her head. He rips out her Feng Shui Engine and leaves her for dead. She goes into an abandoned S.I.N. laboratory and finds another eye, the Feng Shui Engine Alpha. Juri meets up with Kolin (under the disguise as Helen). Kolin offers Juri the ability to join her, when they are interrupted by Balrog, who's looking around for S.I.N. agents. Wanting to test out her new eye, Juri fights him, before Ed tells him that they have to get back to base to discuss a plan. Juri later meets C. Viper, who informs her that the only reason she's not in jail is because she is not the primary threat and warns her about Shadaloo's motives.

Later at the Shadaloo base, looking around for data on Shadaloo, Juri confronts F.A.N.G., who becomes insulted by her remarks on being Bison's second in command. Their fight ends with F.A.N.G using his poison clouds to make Juri retreat. Juri now realizing their motives, calls Kolin by phone and finally accepts her offer to take down Shadaloo.

A Shadow Falls When Rashid and Azam meet Charlie Nash and Helen, Juri arrives by kicking open the door. She eyes the other people in her team and decides to fight Rashid, which he is reluctant about. Juri overwhelms him and he tells her to stop fighting. Juri threatens to kill him if he won't fight her seriously, at which point Azam steps in to defend Rashid. Helen breaks up the conflict and explains the danger of the Black Moons and presents a plan to stop Shadaloo. Juri shows interest in the plan and joins.

In Brazil, When Cammy defends Decapre by assaulting police officers, Juri arrives by motorbike and rams an officer. She picks up Cammy and Decapre, finding the situation amusing.[15] Juri later watches with amusement as Cammy and Decapre (who is under the influence of the Psycho Power) fight before Cammy knocks Decapre out. When Vega arrives and defeats Cammy, Juri intervenes, calling Vega a pervert and mocks him. She fights him off and Vega decides to leave temporarily. She brings Cammy back to Russia with her team as they plan their final attack on Shadaloo.

During the final assault on Shadaloo, Juri and Decapre arrive to take on Shadaloo's soldiers. Decapre saves Cammy from Vega's claw. They team up to fight the other Dolls, who are still under the influence of the Psycho Power, who are controlled by F.A.N.G.

Fighting style Juri fights using Taekwondo and like most practitioners of the Korean martial art in fighting games (e.g. Kim Kaphwan from Fatal Fury/The King of Fighters and Hwoarang from Tekken), Juri is an offensive-oriented, general rushdown character whose moveset mostly focuses on various kicks; she is a very flashy fighter who likes to toy with her opponent, and is used best in bursts of aggression or playing footsies.
