Name: Yukiko Amagi
Gender: Female
Height: 164 cm (5'5")
Weight: Um, it's embarrassing, so I'd rather not say...
Age: 17
Class: 2-2
Clubs: None. I'm too busy working at the Inn.
Likes: Red sweaters, funny looking glasses, dogs, bad jokes and puns, learning how to cook, interior design, wearing kimono, strawberry-scented shampoo, cute stationary
Dislikes: Feeling caged in, tabloid and television reporters, being asked out by boys, disappointing others, feeling useless
Personality:
Because of my upbringing as the future manager of the family inn, I have a tendency to be self-conscious about how I'm perceived by others. I'm expected to carry myself as a proper lady in both speech and appearance, which is why I'm often soft spoken or overly polite, and why I wear my hair long and worry over my weight. Being the hostess of a traditional inn isn't just about being kind to our guests, after all. It's about looking the part as well.
Perhaps this is why I come off as serious and reserved to many people. I have this idea in my head of how I'm supposed to look and sound, so I do everything that I can to coincide with that ideal woman in my mind. I suppose it does make a bit unapproachable, now that I think about it...
I mean, Chie's told me before that I can be a bit aloof when it comes to talking with other people, especially boys. I'll admit that I'm not that used to communicating with males our age, at least, not without Chie around. I think I've gotten better about it though, now that I've been spending more time with Souji, Yosuke, and Kanji. Actually, I've become more open in general after joining the Investigation Team, but that doesn't necessarily mean I'm not prone to some occasional bouts of shyness when around strangers.
When I am with my friends, though, I tend to let my guard down. I'm really quite a silly person underneath the civil attitude. I love being able to openly laugh and just be myself when I'm around Chie and the others. It's a welcome change from having to act so doll-like when I'm working at the inn.
When I'm not working or at school, I'm usually studying. I tend to make some of the top scores in my class, so I guess I'm fairly intelligent. I study hard, and I enjoy learning, so I take pride in my good grades. Because of my high marks, my friends sometimes ask me to help them study, but I don't mind it. After all, I've depended on them so much in the past, and even now. If I can become someone they can rely upon, it would make me happier than my words could ever express.
History:
I've never been very good at talk about myself like this, but there's no harm in trying, right? I guess I should start by telling you that I've lived here in Yasoinaba my entire life. My family runs the historic, hot spring hotel, Amagi Inn, which some have called "the treasure of Yasoinaba." I'm not sure how much truth the statement holds, but I suppose I'll take it as a compliment that they hold our establishment in such high regard.
As the only heir of the Amagi family, ownership of the inn would inevitably fall to me, and so I was expected to be the epitome of a proper Japanese woman. Needless to say, as the future manager, I have been training to be the next hostess from a very young age, but...To be completely honest, I found it all too overwhelming. Having my entire future decided for me from birth like that was infuriating, but I wasn't strong enough to defy my parents, so I submitted to their wishes while I suffered alone in complaisant silence.
The pressure of inheriting the family inn caused me to run away from home on more than one occasion, but it was also because of this that I met my best friend, Chie Satonaka. I had found a stray dog the day that our paths first crossed. Of course, my parents refused to let me keep it in fear of the animal pestering our guests. Angry, I fled the inn, but I had nowhere to go, and eventually stopped by the river. That was when I met Chie. She could see how upset I was, and being the kindhearted person that she is, tried to make me feel better. In the end, she took the dog (I named him Chousokabe, but Chie calls him Muku) home with her so that I would still be able to see him. After that, it was only inevitable that we would become closer. Chie protected me, and made me feel like I was something more than just the inheritor of an established inn. That's something that hasn't changed, even after all of these years.
In the time between then and now, I have slowly become more resigned to my fate. That is to say, I've decided that I do want to take over managing the Inn as per my parents wishes. It wasn't that I objected to becoming the next manger, I just didn't appreciate that it felt like I had no choice in the matter. I thought that running away was the only option I had, but now...Now I want to protect the inn. I'm not doing this for my parents, or for some old-fashioned sense of family tradition. No, I decided to stay because I love this town, and I love the people that live in it. The workers at the inn have become my family, and I have so many friends living in Inaba that it would be heartbreaking to leave them behind. I've learned that these people genuinely care about me, and I care for them too, and if I'm surrounded by the people that I love, then I can think of no other place I'd rather be than right here in Inaba.
