Yukari teases Junpei Iori constantly and she hides her true motives from the group. She represses her emotions and her mood swings frequently in the game. From the start, she hates Mitsuru Kirijo and she dislikes the idea of Fuuka Yamashita joining the team.  Despite being hard on her teammates, at the start of the game, she has the most trouble summoning her Persona because holding the Evoker distressed her.

Yukari's father worked for the Kirijo Group during the time they were conducting shadow research. He was opposed to the idea of bringing about The Fall, a stance that caused him to be killed by Mitsuru's grandfather. During these events, the gears were set into motion that creates most of the problems that S.E.E.S. is forced to overcome. After she discovers this, she feels guilty that her father was involved, and becomes more irritable and distant from the other members of S.E.E.S. However, the discovery of these events also helped Yukari come to terms with Mitsuru, since they actually had a lot in common as far as their past was concerned. Eventually Yukari realizes her faults, and her Persona becomes Isis.

Yukari's mother dealt with grieving for her husband by dating numerous shallow boyfriends and more or less abandoning her daughter. Yukari ends up alone, which is something that helps her connect with the protagonist, making him the only character she opens up to. If the protagonist's charm is at the highest level, then he and Yukari can date, in which he helps her mend her relationship with her mother.

In Persona 3: FES
Yukari initially refuses to return to the dorm when it's being closed down. She seems eager to move on and forget about S.E.E.S. and her friends. She eventually returns after Metis appears and she ends up trapped in the dorm like everyone else. She acts like everything is a huge burden, and even when progressing through the Abyss of Time is the only way to escape the dorm, she is extremely reluctant to return to battle and she complains constantly.
