Background
A quiet young girl who has the ability to speak to animals, she can also attain their abilities and use them if the animal befriends her. She is often accompanied by her Calico Cat whom she seeks guidance from as she lacks  in the skill of interacting with others. Having been bedridden for a long time before she was given the Gift from her father [Genome Tree] a carved amulet that gives her the ability.

She has brown eyes and short light brown hair. She wears a long, light blue, light jacket-like-cloak, surrounding her white shirt. Beneath her shirt, a wooden carving necklace from her father is hidden, only the lines of the strings are shown. She also wears a short, orange pants that puff out. She is seen wearing long black socks with brown boots.

Personality
Her personality reflects most of her character. She can be fast and quiet all the time, but inside herself, she's lonely. She always helps others like the one she did in Episode 3. Another one was on  Episode 8 where she understood that she would have to fight all by herself rather than having somebody else help her. She only harmed her own life for letting her friends escape.

Relationships
Kudou Asuka - You and Asuka have been on good terms since coming to Miniature Garden. She was the first friend You met when they first arrived. She has shown concerned for You's safety such as when You bet her life when challenging the Griffin and when she came back wounded after battling corrupt Galdo in a Gift Game. In the matsuri of Underwood, they often travel together and also seeked the same mentor(Garol) to develop their Gifts further.

Calico Cat - she is the original owner/friend of Calico Cat. The cat calls her "Oujo-sama" and has followed her for most of her life. They are almost the same age.

Sakamaki Izayoi - They are friends, but they do not talk so much. Even during the time when she was bedridden due to the Black Death symptoms, Izayoi had sat quietly beside her bed reading up on the way to stop the game. She was surprised when he forgave her readily when she apologized for his spoilt headphones, not realising that Izayoi was much more caring than he usually lets on.

Ayesha - They fought in a Gift game in [ Duel of the Creators  ] that was held on the same day of Sandora's rise to Floor Master coronation ceremony. Though You had lost to Ayesha due to Jack's overwhelming power, they had become friends since that day.

Jack-O-Lantern- The partner of Ayesha, and a friend of You.

Gift
Genome Tree - A creation-type Gift. You has the Gift to communicate with animals and use abilities/characteristics of species she befriended by sampling and recreating them as her own. Her gift comes from a small circular wooden medallion given by her father that has the Tree of Life, the evolution of life and the system of the life cycle, carved into it. Shiroyasha has commented that You's father must have been a great genius to be able to carve the Tree of Life onto such a small circular medallion. Currently, You has made friends with a sparrow, a bush warbler, a cuckoo, a penguin, a dolphin, a cat, a dog, a bat, an elephant, a griffin, pegasus, and many other eudemons that she has on private contacts.

To use the abilities/characteristics of animals and allow the body to change by using genes of animals she has sampled, enabling the creation of new animals, thereby creation of new abilities like phoenix form.
