Editing Yuuko Shirakawa (section)

==Personality==
Yuuko is timid and a little ditzy; a notable refrain is her banging her head whenever someone startles her in the library, either from books being returned or from [[Lilly Satou]] calling for her. Being socially awkward, she will sometimes jump to irrational conclusions or speak her inner thoughts without realizing, such as her views on the board's book budget versus her salary. In spite of her eccentricities and admitted difficulty managing her love life, she listens to [[Hisao Nakai]] and often advises him on how to interact with and adjust to his peers and lovers in his new environment.

In the Shanghai, a more professional side of her emerges; despite her underlying timidness, she seems to relax and enjoys providing good service to customers, albeit with the occasional verbal slip-up.

Yuuko will occasionally mention in passing that she was recently out of a relationship that ended quite abruptly. She also mentions having plans to study European History at a university, which is why she works multiple jobs at Yamaku Academy and the Shanghai so that she can earn enough to pay for her tuition.
