[edit] Background

Io was the priestess to Hera, wife of the thunder god Zeus. Zeus took a liking on her, and to avoid detection from his jealous wife, he shrouded the place where he seduced Io with clouds. Naturally, Hera was suspicious of the cloud's formation as well as Zeus' apparent absence from Mount Olympus. When she descended, she found Zeus as a white cloud alongside a beautiful heifer. Hera knew full well that the heifer was Io, turned by Zeus, and to trap him Hera demanded Zeus the heifer as a present. Zeus had no choice but to present heifer Io to Hera, who set the multiple-eyed giant Argus Panoptes to guard her. Zeus then sent Hermes to lull Argus to sleep, and in that moment set Io free, where she roamed all the way to Egypt.

[edit] Resonance

Junpei Iori - Junpei, Ace Detective? ...Are you stupid or something? More more like Stupei, Ace Defective. Yukari trusts Junpei a lot, but it's not always easy to tell.

Fuuka Yamagishi - A trusted friend and co-conspirator, with a vastly underappreciated fashion sense.

Mitsuru Kirijo - Still a glamorous role model and supportive friend, despite some lingering concerns about what she may or may not know.

Shinsuke Kusagawa - He's calm, he's witty but tasteful, he makes amazing food, it's not possible for him to be sexually attracted to her. Yukari likes him a lot.

Katsura Tsuruya - An impromptu team-up as possessed minions of Santa (long story) is an odd basis for friendship. Yukari seems to have inadvertently contributed the straw to break the camel's back, and prompted Katsura to leave the NWO. Yukari's determination to help Katsura have resulted in some tension with allies; how much worse will the consequences from the NWO be?

Miyuki Tsukuda - The (sometimes unfortunate) recipient of Yukari's efforts to live up to Mitsuru's example as a senpai. Yukari admires Miyuki's fashion sense, and gets easily provoked to protectiveness by Miyuki's insecurity. Woe betide those who wrong Yukari's kohai.

Itsuka Mizuhara - The Christmas party brought them closer together, and since then Yukari has been enjoying Itsuka's friendship. At some point, Yukari's harsh (albeit ghost-induced) words about Itsuka's attitude to men are going to be an issue between them, however.
