Ha Yuri Zahard

"I have no such delusional hopes. I just... took a liking to the boy."

- Yuri to Evan Edrok

Ha Yuri Zahard (하 유리 자하드, Ha Yoori Jahhahd; or "Ha Yuri Jahad"), more commonly known as Yuri Zahard (lacking her family name), is a High Ranker and Princess from the Ha Family. She is also the owner of Black March and Green April, two of the 13 Month Series Ignition Weapons. She is the first Princess to own two 13 Months at the same time since Garam Zahard, and the only other Princess known to have achieved such. Notably, she is one of the most famous Princesses and therefore highly favoured, with much political influence throughout The Tower. After meeting Baam when he first enters the Tower, she becomes quite taken with him and spends most of the story trying to find him again, even boarding the Hell Train to do so.

Notes and Trivia

 * Her nickname is "Zahard's Effenberg". Stefan Effenberg is a German football player (in American terms, soccer player). Effenberg was known for his rough behaviour on the field and rude behaviour towards the fans.


 * Yuri's ranking increased significantly after obtaining the Green April. Many residents of the palace talk behind her back saying, "Despite whatever problems, a capable girl is capable", but Yuri proudly states that she is indeed a "capable girl".


 * With the birth of Yuri (who greatly resembles Ha Yurin), the Ha Family placed their faith in her, hoping that she would collect all 13 Month Series weapons. Because of this, Yuri’s title takes after her great-grandmother's (Black Snake Head).


 * It is recently revealed that Yuri is obsessed with a virtual boy simulation game called 'raising cute boys', which was introduced to her by Jaina Repellista Zahard. Apparently, she hasn't stopped playing it since because it features a character that resembles Baam.


 * "SIU: Yuri is a character for the later half, so I'm planning to save her until then. (07/13/2010)"


 * It is said she is not actually a Wolhaiksong member, but she was one of the many Rankers present during the planting of the Wingtree. Therefore she has a friendly affiliation with the group.


 * She enjoys fighting alone.


 * Even among Zahard's Princesses, Yuri is a Princess who was bestowed with the 13 Month Series, and that makes her very influential among the Zahard family and Ha family. That is the reason why she still stays unharmed despite her history of recklessly messing around with stuff.


 * Since Yuri prefers doing what she wants instead of doing what would be adequate, so Yuri ends up being a truly Ha family style Princess.


 * SIU has stated that when he was planning out and expanding on the Tower of God lore, he considered having multiple narrative protagonists, and there was a real chance it could have been like that with Yuri as one of the protagonists. Baam is the first protagonist right now, but there's some chance Yuri will be centered as a protagonist in the new arc later.


 * Yuri is actually supposed to be the main focus for much later on, in the Princess arc. So only glimpse of her have been shown, and hints about her provided, without revealing much information. However, along with Khun Maschenny Zahard, the two princesses will show up much more later.


 * Her relationship with Baam will have important part in Tower of God storyline.


 * She and Lero-Ro were selected as Regulars in the same time period. Only two of them who had become Rankers from that group of Regulars. However, there is a big time difference between the time when both of them became Rankers.


 * Her name means Glass in Korean.
