Yukiko Amagi

Intro Yukiko Amagi is a playable character from Persona 4. She is the protagonist's classmate at Yasogami High School, and her family runs Inaba's hot springs inn called the Amagi Inn where she is next in-line as manager. Yukiko Amagi is a reserved, soft-spoken and shy girl, having been raised at an early age to be a prim and proper lady of traditional Japanese customs. At her school, she is an intelligent high school student, earning top grades in her class and often tutoring the material with her best friend since early childhood, Chie Satonaka. Having extremely few friends in general, she is popular at Yasogami High more for her traditionally beautiful looks and ladylike behavior among the guys, and also her feminine qualities that girls admire and/or envy. They do however have a blatant, unconcealed interest in her and the inn that is rude in comparison, albeit she can only respond with her usual politeness. When not at school, she works at the inn, trained to be the next manager after both her parents retire. She is aware of her high-class reputation in Inaba, being the heiress of one of Inaba's main attractions, further encouraging her reserved nature. This is unfortunately a very heavy burden for Yukiko, as mixed with the mouthiness of others towards her, these responsibilities overwhelm her as it is at the expense of her feelings and wellbeing, and displays low self-esteem, feeling as though she is inherently worthless outside of her pretty looks and fulfilled obligations. She doesn't open up to anyone in fear of being ungrateful and selfish, but is internally stressing out over the pressure anyways. The push-and-pull of her circumstances cause her to want to "escape" her life and go anywhere else, even pitting her friendship with Chie at risk as she's realized that even she couldn't fulfill her wish of being saved, forcing her to choose between her true feelings (even if misguided) or her friend.
