– Yurika's catchphrase
Yurika Tōdō (藤堂ユリカ) is one of the main characters of the Aikatsu! arcade game series and related anime adaption. She debuted in Episode 19 representing the Starlight Academy community. She is a cool-type idol using LoLi GoThiC as her primary card brand.
Bio
Yurika is an ordinary girl who admires old vampire manga, inspiring her vampire personality and use of LoLi GoThiC. Sometime before the events of episode 20 the media took a photo of Yurika's real appearance when she had to visit the hospital to treat her cold along with Ichigo who accompanied her. As a result, it nearly became a scandal. With Ichigo's help and the support of her fans, she overcame this event and obtained the Goth' Magic Coord, LoLi GoThiC's premium rare coord.
In Episode 37, when Ran quits Tristar to join Soleil, Mizuki chose Yurika to replace her place as the final member of Tristar.
Personality
Yurika is usually quiet and soft spoken. She created her vampire character, based on an old vampire romance manga, in order to stand out at Starlight Academy. When in character she is confident and proud, however there are moments when she lets her character slip. When this happens her personality is that of a tsundere. She likes garlic flavored noodles, a fact only Ichigo and her friends know about, and has it delivered to her. Her vampire character is very popular both within the academy and the outside public.
Appearance
In the game, Yurika has platinum blonde hair which is styled in two curled pig-tails and pale and teal-colored eyes. In the anime, other than her hair having a pale-greenish tint which gives it a darker appearance, and wearing her down when alone, or to help disguise herself in public, with the addition of glasses, there isn't much of a difference to her appearance. At one point, the game's official art showed her with sapphire-colored eyes.[1]
