She ruled her territory with little patience for dissent, quickly confronting any threats head-on.

Despite their differences, Juri remains a loyal—if occasionally rebellious—ally.
Inner Conflict and Struggles
Juri’s weakest point is her inability to suppress stress for long.
Her wish for "a strong will to endure" stemmed from a crisis: on the verge of expulsion at school, she longed for the patience to persevere.
Her power has a catch — storing too much stress can cause catastrophic outbursts, making peaceful days impossible and forcing her into constant battle.
