Yuri at 16 stands at an impressive height of 175cm (5'9"), with an equally impressive physique. She is has an air of "rugged beauty" about her.

Her magical girl costume does not consist of much - during her transformation, she actually wears less clothes than usual, her outfit consisting of a simple sarashi to cover her impressive chest, and a black hakama for pants. Her footwear changes to tall red [i]tengu geta[/i]. Her hair also turns from auburn to a dazzling golden hue.

Normally dull black in color, the tattoo shines golden when Yuri's strength reaches its peak.

[b][color=fff200]• Divine Arm:[/color][/b]
Yuri's divine arm manifests itself in the form of a bright red kimono, with a pattern of dancing flames designed into it. While contributing little in the realm of offense, it's defensive capabilities are immense. The fabric is preternaturally tough, capable of acting as a shield for whoever wears it - it is strong enough to weaken the blows and magics of even other magical girls, though of course that is dependent on the strength of the individual magical girl. This defense is not without its limits, however - Yuri's divine arm, differing from her sister magical girls, actually has a set durability. Once a certain amount of punishment is taken, the kimono shatters as if affected by her own ability.

By far it's most powerful ability, however, is it's ability to nullify bindings and status ailments targeting the wearer. Bindings slide off, and attempts to poison or blind the user are rendered ineffective. This allows Yuri to fight to her hearts content. The limits to this ability, however, is that it can only focus on one or the other. Switching between stopping bindings or preventing status ailments takes five minutes of time.

[b][color=fff200]• Magic:[/color][/b] 
Yuri's magical ability is, simply put, the ability to [i]break[/i] things. The longer Yuri exerts her magic on a target, the easier it becomes to break - though only for her. Her magic shows itself through golden glass-like cracks that appear on her target; the more cracks that form, the easier it is to break. Her magic can be applied to even metaphysical constructs or objects that can't be "broken" - like darkness and wind, respectively.

While potent, there are hard and fast limits to her ability. Sentient, living creatures are capable of ignoring her magic completely, with the only exceptions being: Divine or Devil Arms, living creatures that are close to death or no longer wish to live, and Nightmares - though it's debatable whether Nightmares count as "living". Her ability also requires some time to work, with the magnitude of her target coinciding with the time needed to make it properly breakable. For example: a small fireball, something like the size of her head, is something she's capable of "breaking" instantly, while a fireball as big as a car takes significantly longer, to the point where it would be easier to just dodge.

Another drawback is that Yuri's magic is single target only, and her range is limited to what she can touch. While she can switch targets instantly, the speed of her breaking-point does not transfer over, and is limited by sight.

Yuri is a girl born in the wrong era with the wrong gender. 

What she is, put simply, is a warrior. Uncompromising and only truly alive in the heat of battle. Despite her completely normal upbringing, she was born with an urge to test her might against others. It started with small things - childish wrestling and hair-pulling, started over some nonissue - but gradually evolved into something more refined, if infinitely more lethal.

She would pick fights with others, if none came to her, she would goad them, provoking them into a temper until she got the fight she wanted. This was her daily routine, until one day, an opportunity arrived, promising her greater thrills and ways to test herself.

When the call to magical girlhood came, she answered quickly. Here was an entirely new dimension of battle, one she had never even considered.

Though the Golden Lily fulfills her duty as a magical girl, it is second to her desire for true combat. Among her sisters, however, she is known to be a reckless menace that spontaneously challenges others to duels.

A journal that she keeps with her at all times. She accurately and precisely records each of her battles in its pages, complete with notes and sketches. This is her 20th such journal.

[hider]
The life of a magical girl was a difficult one, when put into consideration.
The sudden responsibilities you were saddled with, the dangers you would constantly be forced to face, and the inability to ever truly renounce the call ate at the beings of magical girls everywhere. Then there was the secrecy – the isolation as friends and family that could have been a source of comfort from the life and death struggles one was forced to face being slowly alienated by that very same duty.
Oftentimes it cracked them, wounded them until they either broke or the wound festered. If they survived they turned into something else entirely. A form that renounced all that they stood for.
Kaneko Yuri contemplated on this as she ground another Nightmare into the ground.
“And that’s the last of them,” she said to no-one in particular. It was a good night of hunting, all things considered, but nothing out extraordinary. No surprise there – it would be greedy of her to think that she could stumble across an amazing opponent every other day.
Or so she thought.
“Golden Lily,” a voice called out; low, but feminine, and most of all, threatening.
“Aah, ladies. How may I help?”
There were two of them – a pair of girls that walked into the street-turned-battle-ground. Both wore dark colors, an oddity among magical girls who preferred a lighter garb to represent the nature of their responsibility, unless, they weren’t just magical girls…
“You’re in our territory. I assume you’re smart enough to know what that means.”
Golden Lily snorted. “Assume I’m not half as smart as you think, so tell me, what does it mean?” Her eyes gleamed with the unsubtle challenge. Go on. Do it. Try me.
The younger one of the pair bristled at her tune, but her older partner, the one who had spoken remained more composed. The dark haired girl raised a single brow and said, “It means that we’ll fight here, which is no doubt what you’re after.”
At that, Yuri had to stare. Not too many people responded like that, especially people whom she’d never met, and she told the girl as much.
“Perhaps that was then, but you’ve a reputation now Golden Lily. A rather infamous one I might add. If there was any part of the rumors that I’d found unbelievable, it was that you were not a dark magical girl.” The girl paused and stared at her, scrutinizing her for a moment before once more lifting a single puzzled brow. “Which, unbelievably enough, looks to be true. How peculiar,” she added as an afterthought.
