Horie Agata Yukino

Horie Agata Yukino (堀江・アガタ・雪乃) is a first-year Lily who attends Ludvico Private Girls' Academy. She is often together with Hojo Monica Asahi and Igarashi Bernadetta Sumire.

Personality

Much like Asahi, Yukino is of a harsh, arrogant personality, often looking down on the Lilies of Class B and deeming them as inferior. Yukino desperately wishes for her own potential to be acknowledged, and as such, she is prone to making hasty decisions. Yukino earnestly believes Asahi to be the number one prodigy among the first years, and as such, she sees Narumi Clara Yuko as her rival

Schwester's Oath

Main article: Assault Lily: Schwester's Oath

Yukino visits Class B together with Asahi and Sumire, taunting Clara and her classmates for not being chosen for their Class A, and mocking Kishimoto Lucia Raimu after she expresses her desire to take the Schwester's Oath with a senior. Later, when Ludvico receives a report of a Cave during its Easter Festival, Instructor Kosaka Anastasia Ryoko invites the first year Lilies to join her Cheering Squad, wishing to prevent them from deploying to the battlefield. Asahi is initially reluctant, believing she'll be chosen to integrate the Temple Legion, but after Raimu is appointed as the final member, Asahi begrudgingly decides to join Ryoko, with Yukino and Sumire following her lead.

After Asahi is eventually selected to join the Temple Legion, she, Yukino and Sumire once again visit Class B, where Asahi boldly proclaims that she'll likely take Amamiya Sophia Seren's place, as they share both Rare Skill and Zone. After taunting Seren for her failed attempts to become Kuroki Francisca Yuria's Schwester, Asahi proposes that she and Seren compete, with the first to take the Schwester's Oath with the strongest Lily they can winning the chance to become Clara's.

Later, Asahi, Sumire and Yukino join Class B in discussing Raimu's Rare Skill, Charisma, with Asahi smugly remarking that having a strong Rare Skill is meaningless if she cannot use it properly. Clara then fires back at Asahi, informing her that she had lost her contest with Seren, but Asahi surprisingly accepts her defeat, and the pair make amends. Fearing that Raimu will continue to be targeted by Caves, Hasegawa Gabriella Tsugumi encourages the other first years to become strong enough to fight by her side, with all of them in agreement.

Behind the Scenes

Yukino appears exclusively in the recap performance Schwester's Oath, always appearing together with Asahi and Sumire in the same way Clara is always followed by Nagase Marta Nonoka and Hanaoka Angela Moe (Kagami Agnes Mio, in this play). Yukino has very few lines, and essentially serves as a background character. Notably, however, neither Yukino nor Sumire appear in the original Schwester's Prayer and Schwester's Secret, and in Volume 03 of the Assault Lily Magazine, a special feature on Ludvico, Asahi's bio stated that she "does not have many friends".

Trivia

• Yukino's confirmation name, "Agata", could be in reference to Catholic Saint and martyr Agatha of Sicily.
  • Yukino shares her confirmation name with Minamoto Agata Shinju.
