Sakaguchi Yukiko

Codename: Cheshire

- Much like how the Cheshire Cat's grin conceals its true intentions, Yukiko hides her true emotions and sadistic tendencies behind a facade of a cheerful girl with a fake smile. This ability to wear a mask of normalcy and her complex personality further solidify the connection to the Cheshire Cat.

Appearance: Yukiko possesses striking features with her orange hair, which falls in a medium-long, loose style, and her intense blue eyes. She stands tall at 179cm, making her a commanding presence.

Personality: Among the maids, Yukiko is known for being the brightest assassin. She is intelligent, resourceful, and cunning, which makes her a formidable adversary. While she may exhibit an annoying and cheeky behavior towards Kawai Suzume, the chief maid, she knows when to restrain herself and respect the chain of command.

Yukiko's most intriguing aspect is her sadistic streak, particularly when it comes to Ryo and her victims. This adds complexity to her character, as she can oscillate between her facade of a cheerful girl and the darker, cruel side that lurks beneath the surface. This duality makes her unpredictable and keeps others on their toes.

Background: Yukiko's life took a dark turn when she was kidnapped by unknown individuals and became a victim of human trafficking. She endured unspeakable suffering in this nightmarish ordeal. Although she managed to gather the courage to escape, her freedom was short-lived as she was recaptured by her captors.

In an unexpected twist of fate, she was eventually rescued from the clutches of the human traffickers by Suzume and Ryo's father. Grateful for her rescue, Yukiko's world was shattered when she discovered that her own parents had betrayed her, selling her into the clutches of the traffickers.

Filled with an overwhelming mix of rage and sorrow, she acted swiftly, taking the life of her own parents without hesitation. Suzume, witnessing the act, observed the pain and sorrow that consumed Yukiko. Seeing her in such a vulnerable state, Suzume empathized with her and offered her a chance at a new life among the maids.

To cope with her traumatic past and emotions, Yukiko decided to don a facade—a fake girl with a fake smile. This act of acting became a talent she honed, allowing her to hide her true emotions behind a mask of apparent normalcy. Her cheerful demeanor often conceals the darkness and complexity of her true nature.
