Yuki in Anime

Yuki is a petite, slender girl with chestnut brown hair tinted red and large brown eyes edged with red. She wears the black Day Class uniform with a red rose armband, symbolizing her role in the Disciplinary Committee, and carries the Artemis Rod on her thigh. In the anime, she wears ankle boots, while in the manga, she wears darker leather ones.

After awakening as a Pureblood Princess, Yuki’s beauty becomes more refined as her hair grows to her waist, her eyes turn redder, and her demeanor softens. She often wears elegant dresses, accessories, and heels while living at the Kuran mansion but dresses more simply when going out.

Yuki continues to wield Artemis, which later transforms into a scythe. At one point, she cuts her long hair with it to express her disapproval of Kaname’s actions, though centuries later, she grows it long again. As a child, her hair was already long, reaching the middle of her back.
