Character Name: Yuuko Nishigori Series: Yuri!!! on Ice Timeline: Post episode 12 Canon Resource Links:Wiki link
Personality: Yuuko is a nice person. It may seem a bit presumptuous to start out with the word “nice” as a descriptor, but a consistent trait of hers is how she is kind, friendly and supportive to nearly everyone she meets. Being a childhood friend of the main character, Yuuri Katsuki, she has always been close to him, having grown up learning how to skate with him at the same skating rink that she now works at. Her warm and bubbly personality is shown to have been a constant source of comfort and support for Yuuri, who has long suffered from anxiety and doubts about his skills as a figure skater. She is the first person he truly opens up to after returning to his hometown of Hasetsu in the first episode, having practiced famous skater Victor Nikiforov’s program so he can perform it for her and remind himself of the times they shared while skating together, in order to pull himself out of his depression. From there, she continues to support her friend as best she can, both by keeping an eye on his progress when he practices at the rink and by watching his competitions on television with her family.
Her kindness doesn’t only extend to those she knows well; she’s also able to reach out to those who are less than friendly, being the only person in Hasetsu who’s able to befriend the short-tempered teen skating prodigy Yuri Plisetsky. In the lead up to the Hot Springs on Ice competition, she goes so far as to help him train and give him encouragement even though he’s competing against her childhood friend, and she’s the only one to show concern for him when he leaves before the results of the competition are announced. From there, they still maintain a friendly relationship, keeping in touch by texting, and she is one of several people who Yuri dedicates his program to later on (the program in question being based on agape, the ancient Greek concept of unconditional, platonic love). This just goes to show how much Yuuko’s kindness can touch people, whether they’re her friends or angry teenagers.
That’s not to say that Yuuko’s patience has no limits, though. In flashbacks, we see her telling off her other childhood friend Takeshi for picking on Yuuri; considering how Takeshi has matured since then and is also now married to Yuuko, it’s safe to say that she was effectively able to keep him from becoming too much of a bully by intervening whenever possible. She also has to deal with the challenge of raising her six-year-old triplet daughters Axel, Lutz and Loop; the triplets are mischievous as well as highly precocious for their age, which leads to Yuuko constantly having to scold them for staying up too late to watch figure skating competitions or using her social media accounts without permission. Though she does love her daughters, their antics do often make her frustrated with them.
Finally, it should be mentioned that Yuuko has a huge passion for figure skating. She’s loved it since she was young, having grown up as rinkmates with Yuuri and Takeshi, and Yuuri mentioned having looked up to her as a skater (and at one point she earned the nickname "the Madonna of Ice Castle Hasetsu"). She was, and still is, a huge fan of famous Russian skater Victor Nikiforov; she was the one who introduced him to Yuuri (leading Yuuri to become a fan himself), and the two of them would often try to imitate him during practice. She no longer skates seriously herself—she would have given birth to the triplets when she was 19 or so, thus preventing her from continuing her skating career further—but she still works at the skating rink along with her husband, and her daughters (who are all named after figure skating jumps) have definitely inherited their own obsession with figure skating from her. Even if she doesn’t participate in the sport anymore, she still loves it and is always willing to lend her support to those who do skate, just like she lends support in everything else.

Victory Road Sample: Text So why did none of you tell me that there's a skating rink here??? ∑(;°Д°)
...okay, sorry, I'm just a little excited since I used to work at the local skating rink back home, so knowing that there's a rink here helps to make this place a little more familiar. So I got to thinking...would anyone here like to learn how to skate? I could charge a small fee for lessons, since I did teach kids, including my own girls. I mean, I do enjoy Pokemon breeding, but it would really be nice to go back to my roots. I did used to figure skate competitively so if you want to learn things like spins and jumps you're welcome to that, but if you just want the basics then that's fine too. Since I've been told that it's the off season for hockey right now, it would be a great time to learn!
...at least, I hope the rink will still be open to the public once I actually get to Mahogany Town. Hopefully I can talk to whoever's in charge and work something out...
