* BrokenAce: Juri is rich, beautiful, stylish, intelligent, and easily the best swordfighter in the student council, and is both admired and [[TheDreaded feared]] by the rest of the school for these traits. However, she's also deeply bitter, cold, and even outright vicious to people who anger her, not to mention troubled by her inability to let go of her feelings towards Shiori.


Added DiffLines:

* SillyRabbitIdealismIsForKids: Shiori's betrayal caused Juri to become bitter and reserved, losing her belief in miracles and becoming angry towards idealists like Utena. Despite this, Touga implies that she might actually want to be proven wrong, which she doesn't deny.
