Yukino (ユキノ) is Shichirōji's lover and the woman who saved his life when Shichirōji's escape pod washed ashore on the river underneath the Firefly Inn, which she helps manage. She is voiced by Rieko Takahashi in the Japanese version and voiced by Gwendolyn Lau in the English version.
History[]
Great War[]
Indebted to Yukino, Shichirōji helped her run the Firefly Inn and claimed that he had abandoned the samurai life. However, it was one of Yukino's fears that the old samurai had not quite forgotten fighting.
Merchant era[]
Five years later, sometime after the Great War ended, she began a relationship with him and worked with him in the Firefly Inn in the Village of Healing. When Shichirōji joins Kambei and the others on their journey to Kanna Village, Yukino waits for him, expecting him to return with "a mountain of treasure" as in the old tale of "Peach Boy" with which they tease Shichirōji with.
As the series progresses, Yukino seems to be very sisterly towards Kirara and is aware of her hidden love for Kambei.
