In a way, you are right. But she has taken a personal interest in Baam after all, why would she leave once he's in Urek's clutches? It seems Urek doesn't care that much about Baam for now as long as he stays alive (considering Baam is the eyes of the storm, his plot armor must be that resilient, he won't die we know it).

Lord Asriel Sew wrote: Moreover she said that she wanted to know what happened to Baam : but once she'll know ?

-Will she leave ? and her character won't evolve

-Will she stay at Baam's side to climb the tower with him ? who would be just useless and very, very bad for the story

- Will she sware to kill Rachel like Koon did ? it wouldn't be nice : I want to see the final dialogue between Rachel and Baam, it's just one of the scenes we (fans) want to see most

This is a very good question. What will Yuri do when she learns the truth? Thing is, she can't tell the king (it will put Baam in danger and also Yu Han Sung has all the info about Yuri helping Baam both at 1f and in the last excamination in 2f, if she gets reported, she will be killed or sealed for sure... and SIU said she will be very important later so chances of that are slim, unless her death is what triggers Baam's "neverexisting" murdering intent).

One thing is for sure, she cannot climb the tower with Baam. Why? This is because she's a ranker (well, a high ranker so she's not a regular she cannot climb the tower "regular way" and she cannot interfere in the test of/with regulars. That's against the rules. She already did it with Ren as well, it could be dangerous for her if SIU goes the logic route.

However, it is totally possible for her to use her connexions and influence to catch Rachel for Baam, as yet another deus ex machina... then plot would obviously move on after this. But Rachel seems to have a deal with Headon so I don't think it would happen even if she wanted to offer Rachel in a christmas package to Baam.

Lord Asriel Sew wrote: I took a liking at Yuri since the beginning but, I don't know if I like the fact that SIU tries to give her importance in the story (with her little stories searching news for her sister in order to find him).

So, my question is : what do you think SIU will do with that thug, tomboyish princess ?

Theory time? She will probably try to rip Yu Han Sung a new one but she will learn that he has been manipulating all the factions for Baam's sake and growth.

Well.. You nailed it. Her new sobriquet should be "Crazy Walking Deus Ex Machina Princess"!
