History[]
First Generation (A.G. 115)[]
Meeting Flit[]
Yurin lived a peaceful life until the UE attack on her home colony, Nora, in 115 A.G. During the ensuing chaos of the evacuation, Yurin is discovered by Flit Asuno while he travels in his AGE-1 Gundam AGE-1 Normal. She initially fears the machine and runs away. Flit soon catches up to Yurin and reassures her, telling her that he was the one who built the Gundam. She then joins him onboard and helps him escape the colony with her abilities.[1]
As enemy reinforcements arrive, Flit struggles against the new enemies and Yurin continues to help him, using her ability of foresight. She helps hiim defeat the Gafran, then again when he faces the new Zedas, allowing the Diva to successfully escape with the civilians in the colony's core while they stalled the enemy. Yurin remains with him until he reaches the Diva, and the pair go their separate ways as she heads to the colony core with the other inhabitants. She asks him if she will see him again and give him her scarf before leaving.[2]
Reunion on Minsry[]
When the Diva traveled to the colony of Minsry in order to meet with the Zalam-Euba Alliance, Yurin reunited with Flit while the crew was on shore leave. While the Diva was being upgraded by the AGE System, Flit and Yurin spent time together around the picturesque scenery of Minsry. After Flit and the Diva crew departed the colony, Desil Galette approached Yurin about needing her X-Rounder powers, and threatened her into serving the UE with the consequence of never seeing Flit again. Yurin reluctantly complied and was taken by the UE to the Space Fortress Ambat, where she was assigned to "pilot" a new machine: the xvb-xd Farsia, specifically designed for X-Rounders.
Battle with Flit[]
While the Grodek Faction began their assault on the Space Fortress Ambat, the battle was falling into their hands. With that, Desil launched his xvv-xc Zedas, while others forced Yurin into the xvb-xd Farsia. Arriving on the battlefield, Yurin immediately spotted Flit's AGE-1S Gundam AGE-1 Spallow dueling Desil, and she came between the two. She declared her excitement to see Flit, who was shocked at her appearance on the battlefield. However, Desil suddenly took control of all the Farsia's controls, rendering Yurin a helpless hostage. When the Farsia and Zedas had damaged the AGE-1 Spallow, Desil went for the finishing blow with the Zedas sword, but Yurin managed to get control of the Farsia and put the Farsia in the path of the Zedas, taking the blow for Flit. Since the suit was heavily damaged, Yurin told Flit that living was difficult, and that she wanted to be with him forever. The Farsia then exploded, taking Yurin's life. Her death would cause Flit Asuno's personality to take a dark turn, refusing to recognize the Vagans as human beings, and even vowing to exterminate them once and for all.
Third Generation/Three Generations (A.G 164)[]
Yurin made her long awaited reappearance in the final episode of the series. Appearing in Flit's vision along with other deceased characters from the previous generations. Reunited with his long lost love, Flit admits that he knew the Vagan were suffering too but still hated them because they took Yurin away from him and he couldn't protect her. Yurin gave him a warm smile and thanked him but told him that it's alright now and started fading away. As she did, Yurin said to him that he should forgive everyone and then forgive himself. This intimate moment in Flit's vision makes him realize his mistakes and turn in his efforts into uniting both Vagan and Earthlings and become the savior he was destined to be.

Trivia[]
- Her death draws many parallels with both Lalah Sune and Four Murasame, sacrificing themselves to protect a pilot by taking a "finishing blow" from a sword. Coincidentally, Hayami would go on to voice Lalah in Mobile Suit Gundam: The Origin.
- Yurin appears in the Extreme Vs. series as the pilot for the Farsia with Desil's Zedas acting as her support unit. Although she seems to be controlling her unit, conversations with other characters, primarily Flit, imply that Desil has taken over.
- As a reference to her voice actress, Char will mistake Yurin for Lalah. Yurin also mentions seeing someone "kind and similar" when looking into Amuro's heart.
- She will be greatly interested with the Funnels, DRAGOONs and Fangs from other timelines due to the similar functions to her Bits. Yurin also compares her Farsia with the EXAM System and can hear the voices of a woman from the system and is curious of the concept of Newtypes.
- When encountering either Asemu or Kio Asuno, Yurin mentions their power to be the same, if not, greater than Flit's. Dark Hound Asemu, aware of the future, warns her not to pilot the Farsia anymore, but Yurin insists on meeting Flit and lending what power she can give to him.
- Zeheart apologizes to Yurin for the situation his sibling had placed onto her, but Yurin replies that she acted out of her desire to see Flit once again. While surprised that Zeheart is Desil's younger brother, Yurin notes Zeheart is not as frightening as his brother.
- Alluding to the conclusion of Mobile Suit Gundam 0080: War in the Pocket, she attempts to warn Christina Mackenzie or Bernard Wiseman not to go out and fight lest they suffer the same fate as her and Flit.
- In Gundam Breaker Mobile, The Yurin AI can be obtained at the Arena Coin Exchange Shop along with the Xvb-xd Farsia parts.
- Her last name is referred to as "Luciel".
