Yukiko Amagi (天城 雪子, Amagi Yukiko)

Episode 1. She follows Chie to talk with Yu. In Episode 2, she is accosted by Mitsuo Kubo, who leaves when she turns down his offer for a date. Later when Yu returns after saving Yosuke, he sees Yukiko being interviewed on TV. When Chie goes on the Amagi Inn to check on Yukiko in Episode 3, she discovers that Yukiko has disappeared. Yu, Yosuke and Chie then head off to save Yukiko after seeing her on the Midnight Channel.

In Episode 4, Yukiko awakens on the top floor of the castle before Chie, Yu, and Yosuke arrive. Before she manages to stand up, a bird cage rolls down the stairs toward her; a bird cage which she once used to keep a pet bird she had found abandoned as a baby on the side of a road. She remembers back to how she understood the bird - no matter how beautiful or free-spirited it was, it was trapped within the bars of the cage, much like Yukiko feels "trapped" within her family's business running the inn. But one day, the bird manages to escape the cage by knocking the cage door (left unlocked) open and flying out a window while Yukiko was away. She remembers how jealous she was of the bird, wishing that she too could find a way out of her cage just like it did. However, she snaps back to reality when her Shadow confronts her.

Her Shadow tells her how pathetic she feels, and how weak she is for waiting for someone else to save her - that she will never be strong enough to escape her life like her pet bird did. Chie, Yu, and Yosuke arrive and try to fight the shadow, but the Shadow manipulates objects in the environment (causing a chandelier to fall on the group, etc) to fend them off while she continues to confront Yukiko. Yukiko denies her Shadow as being a part of herself, and the Shadow becomes a large bird (resembling a phoenix) trapped inside of a cage. Yukiko, frozen in shock, becomes trapped within the bird cage from earlier and lifted off the ground. Despite the groups desperate attempts,

the large bird keeps them at bay by manipulating fire, engulfing the entire room in a blaze. Realizing Chie and the others seem to be losing, Yukiko begs Chie to run away and save herself.

Unable to leave her friend to die, Chie walks right into the fire, shouting to Yukiko. She tell {C Yukiko's despair and regrets of not accepting her other self and gives up on ChieAdded by Minako22s her that she has always been jealous of Yukiko, wishing she were as pretty or as smart as her, and that Yukiko is stronger than she gives herself credit for. Chie tells her that if she really tried, no cage could ever hold her. Yukiko, inspired by her friend's courage and words, manages to break free from the bird cage herself, and begins to accept her shadow. {C Yukiko hug her other selfAdded by Minako22The shadow desperately tries to finish the group off, but Yu summons Pyro Jack to absorb the flames. Using the opportunity, Yosuke and Chie send Jiraiya and Tomoe to finish off the weakened Shadow. Yukiko approaches her defeated Shadow and embraces it, hugging it and apologizing for ignoring it. The Shadow smiles, nodding, and after a flash of light, Konohana-Sakuya appears before the group. Exhausted, Yukiko collapses to the ground, and the group quickly makes their way back to the real world.

When she is partnered with Yu to keep a look out for the killer she blushes more than she does in the game while he looks nonchalant during the scene. When they are being chase by Kanji, Yosuke asks Chie to be a decoy

which she almost agrees to do before Yukiko told her not to trust him. She then offers to lend Chie 100 yen for the two nikudon she ordered from Aiya.

When Shadow Kanji transforms, Yukiko's persona attempts to attack him but ends up attacking Nice guy who makes her furious and confused. As Nice Guy approaches her as he she comment on her appearance which confuses her and says that she has a vulgar red color on. This offends Yukiko and she uses her persona fire spell to blast him but doesn't work as she continues being angry along with Chie.

During the school camp out at night both her and Chie head over to the guys tent after Kanji comes over to theirs. She hides in Yu's sleeping bag when Morooka stops by and blushes while he ignores her and looks over at Yosuke. She switches with Yosuke and joins Chie in Yosuke's sleeping bag later. She wears a swimsuit given to her by Yosuke the next day and becomes embarrassed like Chie when Yu says they both look good. Both her and Chie push the guys into the waterfall after Yosuke makes a perverted comment.

In June 22, when the investigation team follow the "curplit" Yukiko request Yu to stayed with Rise.
