Fact woman is tiger and smart strong.this tiger woman. men is chick and weak.

I heard a theory that she was Willem's wife. It's unlikely though, as she seems a bit young in comparison...

Finally somebody asking the right questions.I have no idea how people have come up with the name Yurie and if there is even an explicit reference to her specific NPC. Maybe we can piece something out of it, it really is one of the most annoyingly unaddressed things of the game. We know that 1- She is a full-fledged Choir member, for the attire and the fact she wields Rosmarinus 2- She got there not much before us: the door to Forbidden Woods was closed and the Choir did not know how to reach Byrgenwerth 3- It looks more like she is protecting rather than attacking or searching for something (she is close to the chest with the Student Uniform, not even the Empty Phanstam Shell or the Lunarium Key which may have more sense lorewise). My first theory was that she is there to avoid anybody making contact with Wilhelm (she wants to keep him locked) or even Rom (she wants to keep the Blood Moon concealed), altough I don't see why the Choir would want to "help" the School of Mensis by keeping the ritual a secret. It is pretty strongly implied that the Choir and School of Mensis were not in friendly terms (also condiering that a School of Mensis summon is there to help you defeat Rom, while "Yurie" antagonizes you). I really don't know whyat the deal with her is.

With me it did 100 damage each visceral but she gives trouble with her arcane attacks
