Yuri (ユリ) is a main character of Doki Doki Literature Club! (DDLC for short). She is a member of the Literature Club and a character for whom the player can write poems.

== Appearance == Yuri is 18 years old and stands at 5'5'' (165 cm). She has long, dark purple hair that reaches her waist and light purple eyes. She often wears a purple barrette on the right side of her head. Yuri is described as being of above-average height.

When at school, she wears the standard female school uniform: a warm gray blazer, a brown sweater vest, a white shirt, a red ribbon, a dark blue pleated skirt, white knee-high socks, and white uwabaki slippers with sky blue tips. Outside of school, she is often seen wearing a beige, long-sleeved turtleneck sweater with black leggings. The protagonist notes her movements as surprisingly elegant.

== Personality == Yuri is generally portrayed as shy, generous, polite, and very intelligent. She is eloquent and passionate about subjects that interest her, although she can also be quite insecure and somewhat awkward. At times, she might inadvertently come across as condescending or patronizing, which often serves to mask her self-doubt. Yuri projects an image of maturity and sophistication.

She has a deep desire to be liked and can be hesitant to express her true opinions, fearing it might make her seem unlikable. Due to her social shyness, she can occasionally be unintentionally insensitive, but she quickly apologizes if she realizes she has said something potentially rude. The protagonist observes that Yuri prefers to think carefully before speaking.

Yuri tends to prefer blending into the background rather than drawing attention. Her main interests include literature, horror, and surrealism, topics on which she can speak with great expertise. She is passionate about her poetry, which is often rich with metaphorical symbolism and advanced language. She also enjoys collecting unusual, ornate knives and has a fondness for tea. She often brings tea to the Literature Club to help members focus during reading.

She takes pride in her writing, which can sometimes make her appear arrogant or patronizing, particularly to those who don't know her well. This strong emphasis on her intellectual side is a coping mechanism for her deep-seated insecurities. Despite her difficulties in social situations, Yuri is a giving person, exemplified by her lending the protagonist a copy of the novel Portrait of Markov.
