Yuki Kusakabe is a teenage girl with a gentle demeanor, often portrayed with a cool aura around her due to her snow woman traits.
Yuki tends to be cautious and reserved, especially regarding her interactions with others out of fear of causing harm due to her unique physiology.
After learning the truth behind her powers, she becomes brighter and more outgoing, engaging actively with her classmates.
She is often the “straight man” in her group, responding candidly to the playful antics of Hikari Takanashi and Kyōko Machi.

She is also known for her cooking skills.
Originally from a remote, snowy countryside, Yuki moved to her current town after graduating from junior high school.
She has a younger sister.
Due to her unique snow woman abilities and a misunderstanding about the dangers of her powers, she avoided getting close to others out of fear.
Over time, as she gained understanding and reassurance through her experiences, she became more comfortable connecting with classmates and making friends.
As a “Snow Woman,” Yuki possesses several unique abilities:
- She can shed icy tears and sweat frozen droplets, mainly from her palms and soles.
- She generates a cold aura that can chill the surrounding area.
- Her body temperature is lower than average, making her vulnerable to heat and susceptible to mild heatstroke during physical activities.
- She has very few sweat glands and limited ability to regulate her body temperature.
She gains better control over her abilities as time passes, eventually learning to generate cold air purposefully—such as by reading particularly moving manga volumes.

Struggling with Her Powers
Initially, Yuki is deeply concerned that her snow woman abilities might accidentally harm others, especially after misinterpreting an incident where she thought she froze bathwater with her emitted cold air.
Her self-doubt makes her reluctant to interact with other people and she keeps to herself most of the time.
Uncovering the Truth
Through an experiment devised by Tetsuo Takahashi, Yuki discovers that the ice she produces is simply from sweat on her feet freezing, not from any dangerous ability to rapidly freeze the environment.
Realizing she is not a risk to others, Yuki feels a great sense of relief and begins to open up.
Building Friendships
As her fears subside, Yuki develops close friendships with fellow demi students Hikari Takanashi and Kyōko Machi.
She becomes an active participant in their group, often providing deadpan responses to their jokes and antics.
Facing Misunderstandings
Due to her initial aloofness, students like Atsumi Imori and Shizuka Kimura wrongly assume Yuki is dismissive or standoffish.
After clearing up these misunderstandings and becoming more involved, she repairs these strained relationships.
Mastering Her Abilities
As her self-confidence grows, Yuki learns to control her snow woman powers more consciously, even finding ways to have fun with them—like reading tear-jerking manga to deliberately trigger her effects.
Yuki’s laughter threshold is famously low—she is easily amused by silly jokes or comic routines, especially those involving Tetsuo Takahashi and Hikari Takanashi.
She has a hidden passion for gag manga and is open to risqué humor.
Occasionally, she will stifle laughter during funny or inappropriate exchanges, especially in serious settings.
