Character Name: Yuuki Asuna Series: Sword Art Online Timeline: End of Season 4 after returning from 200 years in the Underworld. Canon Resource Links:https://swordartonline.fandom.com/wiki/Yuuki_Asuna
Personality: Asuna is an extremely resilient young woman who manages to rise to the challenges. Being in a setting where she is not able to return to her home or life is actually not a new circumstance for her to be in. When she was 15, she logged into the world’s first fully immersive virtual reality game, only to find out that she couldn’t log back out. She spent the next two years participating in trying to beat the game, which was the only way that the players would be released from the virtual prison. In the world of virtual MMORPG, there is a gender imbalance and Asuna was one of the few females in the game. Putting her even more in the minority, she was the only female who was willing to go and fight on the frontlines.
Asuna is a natural born leader, and she rose in the ranks of her guild to become the second in command. So not only was she fighting at the risk of her life, she was leading everyone else in battle strategies. These leadership qualities have followed her into other virtual worlds, including the most recent one where she was stuck for 200 years. In this world, the Underworld, she rose to become the kingdom’s Queen, starting off as a sub-delegate on a committee that was set up to protect the peace of the Underworld. Asuna isn’t cruel by any means, and is in fact incredibly protective to those important to her, but her leadership skills can make her come across as strict, direct, and sometimes even cold. She does what she has to do to get a job done and sometimes she forgets to have fun in the process.
Perhaps in part because she is always looking after others, she can be prone to putting the needs of others ahead of her own. Though this can be a very strong quality and helps her develop deep protective bonds of those around her, it can sometimes put her in a position where she’s not speaking up about her own needs. She’s dating and in love with Kirito, but most of their mutual friends who are girls have feelings for him. Though she can get a bit possessive and jealous, she also harbors some guilt that they are in love with a person and dealing with the pain of not being able to express those feelings. So she can act with a bit of reserve when it comes to being openly affectionate with Kirito in public. She’s not above putting her foot down when they act inappropriately, such as when Alice tells her she must ask for permission to see him when they meet in the Alicization arc. She also has a hard time speaking up for what she wants with her mother and has to really work at making it clear to her mother what her needs are.
There are other ways that she shows a lot of care for others, such as cooking and taking care of Kirito and their friends. She’s instantly protective and nurturing of Yui, a childlike AI she meets in SAO that she and Kirito adopt as a daughter. She takes quickly to the mothering role of Yui and will do anything she can to protect and care for her. She also sees no difference between those who live in the real world, and those that are of artificial intelligence. She will protect AI as much and she will protect humans. She also shows great care for a girl, Yuuki, who becomes like a younger sister to her. Yuuki is a girl who is living almost entirely in the full dive virtual worlds because she is dying of AIDs and it is a way for her to connect with others. She and Yuuki grow close not long before she dies, and before she dies Asuna goes to great lengths to help her be as much a part of the real world as she can. This includes helping her hook up to a system where she can participate in Asuna’s classes virtually, through a device Asuna carries on her shoulder.
Another important aspect to Asuna is that she is very competitive. It's a major driving force in what pushes her forward in SAO and continues as she goes back to the real world and other virtual worlds. She wants to be the best, or at the very least as good as she can be. She is not afraid to go up against hard battles and duels to prove herself. In an augmented reality game, Ordinal Scale, she climbs the ranks into the top ten players. She enjoys running into battles, despite the fact that it sometimes brings back some of her fear of dying. She often comes out of battles in each of the virtual games as the MVP and has built a strong profile because of it. She is listed as one of the most popular characters in SAO and even has a fanbase. Though she doesn’t necessarily enjoy the attention of the male population, she is intensely proud of having gone from a nervous gamer to highly decorated one. She is modest about her abilities, but very proud of them.
