Ryouko Asakura (Haruhi Suzumiya)

Ryouko Asakura

Ryouko Asakura is a character in the light novel and animation series Haruhi Suzumiya.

Appearance

Girl with long navy blue hair, a part of which is tied in a ponytail with a red hairclip. She has a jolly-looking face, with blue eyes and thick eyebrows.

Story

Ryouko appears to be, at first, a highly social high-school student, and the class president for Kyon's homeroom class. She later reveals herself as a Data OvermindHumanoid Interface, much like Yuki Nagato, but is also an extremist who soon tries killing Kyon. However, it turns out that she is Yuki's backup, and as such, is also another Data Overmind humanoid interface. Much like Yuki, she finds it difficult to empathize with humans, but unlike Yuki, possesses exceptional social skills. Initially she cheerfully supports Kyon's reaching out to Haruhi, often encouraging him to "open her up to the class," making Haruhi easier to observe. However, underneath her seemingly outgoing personality hides a very shrewd and calculating individual who kills without hesitance. She later decides to try and kill Kyon with a combat knife in the hopes of catalyzing an observable reaction from Haruhi.^[1]

Fate

Her efforts are stopped, after Yuki defeated and removed her from the physical world. It's interesting to note that her cheerful personality doesn't falter, even at the moment of her own demise. Afterward, Yuki fabricated a cover story that she moved to Canada, having Ryoko's "father" call the school to say that she had suddenly moved, without leaving any contact information. Ironically, the death/disappearance that provoked Haruhi's reaction in the end was Ryoko's own.^[1]
