History:

Personality:
Yui is a young woman who everyone is trying to let live a normal life, even when nothing around her is normal. Her once-close brother has gone off the radar, her aunt goes back and forth between being an oblivious meddler and keeping secrets from her, and her only two friends cannot get close to each other or her because one day, one of them will kill the other. And somehow, despite her not wanting any of this, it's all about her. This both gets on her nerves and leads her close to completely breaking down.
She abhors fighting, whether it's the Rider battle or the petty bickering Shinji and Ren. She isn't shy to say so in front of them, constantly snapping at Ren when he starts picking on Shinji, and breaking up fights when they start. She knows that sooner or later, Ren will have to fight Shinji to the death, but she keeps trying to maintain the peace between them. She bandages them up after battles, tries to pry information out of them—particularly Ren—when they're reluctant to admit that they did fight another Rider, and talks to them about her fears and theirs, even when they don't want to discuss things. She also helps cover for their disappearances in front of her aunt, but she's just as likely to go running after them to watch over them while they fight. Her caring extends to promising to help fund her aunt's trips by helping out more around the cafe, to constantly visiting Ren's girlfriend in the hospital, and even taking a temporary job with Shinji's news site while his boss is out sick. But she never really shows any long-term goals of travel, cafe work, caretaking, or journalism, even when she does a good job at it; she's reluctant when her aunt points out that she needs to get out more and meet people or see the world. Her only objectives are finding her brother, stopping the Rider battle, and ensuring that Shinji and Ren come home alive at the end of the day—all of which are intertwined, but very difficult and somewhat short-sighted. She doesn't think about the future beyond that.
Because of what's going on around her, she often comes off as very serious. She doesn't have much of a chance to take time to enjoy herself, since she's constantly worrying about her brother and the Rider battle. When she first suspects that she's somehow tied to her brother's actions, she takes it upon herself to begin a secret investigation, worried that if she doesn't do something soon, Shinji and Ren will be seriously hurt or killed. She looks into the people who used to know Shiro: the comatose Eri Ogawa, bitter classmate Hajime Nakamura, and the half-mad Professor Ejima, who dies cursing her. They spur her fears that Shiro set up the Rider battle for her sake, and the more she finds that to be the case, the more she lets her vulnerability show. Where once she only talked to Ren about her fears, she begins crying openly in front of both him and Shinji, eventually coming to understand that if she's going to live, one or both of them will have to die. Their behavior, particularly the once innocent Shinji's, worries her to the point that she considers taking her own life to put an end to everything—only Shiro's lie that he would stop the battle and allow her to live out the last of her time in peace got her to lower her guard.
Despite all of this, she has a firm will and persistently continues trying to talk her brother around or finding other ways to stop the fighting. Shiro refuses to change his ways, but she continues to hope. Even when she tells him that she no longer considers him her brother, she later admits she can't just forget their relationship, no matter what he's done. People threaten her life in order to get to her brother, and it breaks her heart the more she realizes that she's the reason behind everything, but she continues searching for answers, even over her friends' wishes that she stay out of it and remain safe. She gets stubborn, sometimes arguing with her friends and brother herself to try to get them to stop fighting. While it's never enough to stop it completely, sometimes it's enough for a brief truce.
At the same time, she seeks their reassurances that she's not involved in any of this and that they won't fight. None of them have any reason to tell her the full truth, but she constantly asks them and trusts them to keep their promises, if only because she's still got some innocence in her that the world hasn't completely destroyed. She isn't entirely naive, and she's got enough doubts to prove that she's not just accepting their words at face value, but she wants to believe them and tries. The times when she is able to smile and have fun, it's with her family and friends—over dinner at the house, planning her last Christmas party as a teenager and her twentieth birthday, being forced on a day out with Shinji and Ren to the amusement park to help lighten the mood, and in a notable moment in the movie I mention only for the sheer simplicity of it all, talking to her brother on her birthday after seeing to it that his plans will fail. Most of all, what she wants is to have a happy life with him, and because of everything going on in her life, these rare moments are even more precious.
Etc: It's kind of glossed over up there, but Yui is in fact dead. To be technical, she died thirteen years ago at the age of seven, due to her parents' neglect of her and her brother. But she and Shiro had created a fantasy world called the Mirror World where they'd always be protected by monsters, and somehow in that moment, their imagination became real. Shiro made a deal with the Mirror World incarnation of Yui to revive her until her twentieth birthday, when a battle among thirteen Riders would provide a new life for her. He reset time whenever it looked like he might lose, but this time around, Yui finally wised up and had enough. She decided to allow herself to disappear into the Mirror World, and on the verge of his victory, she convinced her brother to give up and just let her die and stay with her in the Mirror World rather than ruin countless lives just for her.
