Yuuko Kanoe

Yuuko Konoe is the main heroine from the Tasogare Otome x Amnesia anime and manga.

Yuuko is the spirit of a girl who died inside the oldest building of Seikyou Academy. She lost her memories and eventually became a wandering spirit until she was discovered by accident by Teiichi Niiya.

With Teiichi's help, they begin a search for Yuuko's memories while the two stumble upon the many mysteries and ghost stories in Seikyou Academy.

Appearance
Yuuko is a tall, beautiful teenage girl with a slender figure, long black hair and walnut-brown pupils. She initially owned the old uniform of Seikyou School before it changed and she has been wearing the new uniform since, but she later changed back into the old uniform after being discovered by Teiichi.

Personality
Although her looks give off a sinister aura, she is in fact a cheerful and bubbly person. She sometimes teases Teiichithrough sexual suggestions and, if Teiichi is not around, is seen roaming the school complex (often creating ghost stories as an effect). It is later revealed that Yuuko is starting to become attached to Teiichi, as he was the first person to interact with her after dying a long time ago. Worthy of note is that she does not mind to have her attractive "ghost body" seen by Teiichi, but becomes increasingly embarrassed if he does as much as pay a sight to her skeleton, claiming that it "cannot be more naked" and even calls him a pervert for doing so. While she seems to be quite proud of her body, often using it to tease Teiichi, she does have a fixation on her weight, and will try to hide it, even though she's very light.

Yuuko and Kirie, her relative, look very much alike, but with key differences. Yuuko has long hair and is busty compared to Kirie's athletic frame. The two also are very different in personalities as Yuuko is not nearly so serious as Kirie.

Abilities
The series depicts Yuuko as a ghost with traits that remain similar to a normal human. Unlike the stereotypical ghost that can fly or pass through walls, floors and ceilings, Yuuko needs to walk to her desired situation. Also, Yuuko can get hungry or be ill like a normal human would. Among those traits that Yuuko shares with ghosts is her lack of presence towards most people.

Perception
Kirie has demonstrated that how Yuuko can be seen depends on the person who perceives her. Although Yuuko is normally a girl with pale complexion, red eyes and long jet-black hair like in the eyes of Teiichi, she can take a less clear and more sinister form: a shadowy figure that resembles a silhouette. This can change depending on the person seeing Yuuko, and in Kirie's case, she saw Yuuko as a girl with gray skin, disheveled hair and a sinister look in her eyes, Kirie had also seen herself once. Another example is when the students trying to sacrifice Yuuko Kirishima see Yuuko as Akahito.

Trivia

 * Befitting the English title of the series, Yuuko's name literally "dusk maiden". Meanwhile, the surname "Kanoe" is derived from the 7th sign of the Chinese calendar, which originally meant "evening star" and also means "a person's age".
 * Yuuko claims to weigh only 500 g (about 1 lb). However, her official weight is in fact 56.2 kg. Her height is 168 cm. Her chest measurement is 88 cm. Also, Yuuko's eyesight is 20/10 (decimal value = 2.00), and she doesn't have any hearing problems.
 * There is an empty chair in class 3-B which Yuuko apparently uses when "assisting to classes".
 * In the anime series, Yuuko is attributed to autumn leaves and the sky during sunset, which both share the same fiery hues.
