Character Information
Name: Yuri (or Yuuri) Shibuya
Canon Origin/Series: Kyo Kara Maoh!
School Year: 5th going into 6th.
Gender: Male
Age: 15
Blood status: Halfblood

Personality:

Yuri is what one would term an eternal optimist. He will find the one bright note in a situation against all odds. This, unfortunately, also causes him to be a bleeding heart. Any cause that is misrepresented or unrepresented, he will side with and fight for until he is blue in the face. This trait comes from being a Halfblood. Because he was born in a family that was split between Muggle values and Wizarding values, Yuri learned early on that if he wanted to have his say on matters, he had to speak up. As a result, he took it upon himself to speak up for those who couldn't find their voice. He has gotten used to being roughed up because of this passionate mission, but that doesn't mean he will go quietly when someone decides to hurt him. Yuri has been known to scream and beg and sometimes run. Self preservation is not dead in him: it is simply dormant.

Yet, that information only covers how he appears outwardly to other people. Inwardly, Yuri is a much different person. He is shy, uncertain of himself and relatively clumsy with his emotions. When he feels something strongly, he may not seem to question it when in the company of others, but when he is alone: that is another story entirely. Yuri is the King of Second Guessing himself. It would be helpful if his second guessing was logical, but generally it is not. He feeds off of his emotions, and despite questioning himself over his actions, he will generally come to the decision that makes him look the most impulsive.

But, despite all of this, Yuri has a warm, sweet heart. He loves children and he loves helping others (even if it gets him into trouble). Above all, this boy is naive. He hasn't experienced enough of life to realize that there are some times when one should learn to say "no". But he will learn as time progresses.

Canon Background:

In Canon, Yuri is a (supposedly) ordinary highschooler in Japan. However, as the anime progresses, he discovers that he is really harboring the soul of the demon king of Shin Makoku. Through various water sources, he is transported to this new world. Once there, he does a ton of paperwork (or conns Gunter or Gwendal into doing it for him) and fights the injustice of humans hurting Mazokus (demons) and vice versa. Additionally, he is engaged to a boy named Wolfram von Bielefeld but he's not sure what that entirely entails as he has never even been on a date before.

Background (AU!Canon; HP):

Born into a middle-class Halfblood family, Yuri is the second son in the Shibuya family. Because of his father's job at the Ministry of Magic, news was always forthcoming in their household. Yuri often listened at the door of his parent's room - even as a toddler. He would grow upset over the stories that drifted from the Muggle World and how the Wizarding World was treating non-magical people. Shouri, his older brother, was usually the one to find him and soothe his tears. In fact, Shouri was the one who truly raised Yuri. When his parents fought or became too caught up in their own worries, Shouri was Yuri's saving grace. He would play with him and teach him important lessons. For example, when Yuri was old enough to get on the nerves of those outside of their household, Shouri taught Yuri how to use his diplomatic skills to get himself out of trouble. Yuri still prefers to run rather than talk to those who wish to harm him, but Shouri should get credit for trying.

Upon turning 11, Yuri received his Hogwart's letter and finally felt like he could do something rather than constantly running away from his troubles. Since then, he has found a bravery in himself that he never thought that he possessed. He finally has found the heart and fire to fight for the rights of those who are under-represented like he has always wanted to do. Yuri no longer runs away from his problems, though if things get too hairy, he will be the first yelling for help.

Surprisingly enough, Yuri has found his niche in classes such as Transfiguration and Charms. They offer him a focus that he cannot achieve through his own means. He likes working hard in both subjects and seeing what he can create - or decimate - through magical means.

It goes without saying that his clumsiness interferes with the other subjects, but he does put forth his best effort in every task set before him.
