Yor Forger

Yor Briar is the tritagonist of the SPY x FAMILY series. While she works as an ordinary clerk at Berlint City Hall, she also leads a secret life as a Garden assassin with the code name Thorn Princess. She and Loid Forger get married to fulfill their separate goals, with the former becoming the adoptive mother of Anya Forger. Yor is a young woman with fair skin, long black hair and upturned red eyes. She splits her hair into two parts and crosses it over her head, securing it with a headband and forming two thick locks of hair that reach below her chest. When her hair is let down, she lacks the usual two thick locks of hair and her hair reaches about mid-back. Yor wears a red off-shoulder sweater with black tights and brown-heeled ankle boots. She wears a white headband and a pair of dangling gold earrings in the shape of small spikes. When going outside, she wears a long beige coat with black buttons over her clothes. At Berlint City Hall, she wears the standard work uniform, consisting of a white long-sleeved shirt with a sleeveless green vest over it, with a knee-length green office skirt and black heels. As an assassin, Yor wears a form-fitting halter-style black dress that shows off her shoulders and cleavage, with a rose choker and a red rose pattern on the inside of her skirt. The front of the skirt is mid-thigh length while the back of the skirt reaches below her knees. She also wears a pair of black thigh-high boots and black fingerless gloves. The headband she wears is gold-colored with a rose and two spikes on each side. Her weapons are of the same color as well. This is her only good dress prior to marrying Loid, after which she purchases more formal wear to better present herself for Eden.

As a child, Yor had shorter hair that reached just below chin-length. Yor lacks social skills and initially comes across as a somewhat aloof individual, interacting minimally with her coworkers and being rather straightforward, and she's described by Camilla as a robot. Similarly, Yor has a remarkably collected, able to keep her composure in the midst of combat. She is incredibly polite to the point of asking her assassination targets if she may take their lives. Despite this, Yor is a genuinely kind person, with a strong maternal and big sister instinct. After becoming a family with Loid and Anya, Yor becomes more expressive and opens up to her coworkers, asking for help on being a better wife or cooking. She is protective of her faux family, especially towards Anya whom she has no trouble defending with extreme violence.

Due to spending most of her life as an assassin, Yor's ways of thinking are often highly deviant. She is frequently inclined to solve problems through murder, such as imagining killing everyone at Camilla's party after the latter threatens to tell Yor's brother that she came without a date in order to prevent him from knowing. She also daydreams about assassinating the parent of an Eden Academy applicant so Anya is ensured a place. To this extent, she has an affinity towards weapons, being captivated by a painting of a guillotine and a table knife.

In a complete idiosyncrasy, Yor is extremely gullible, being easily fooled by the ridiculous lies Loid tells her to hide his identity. Yor has a startling lack of common sense, asking Camilla if boogers made coffee taste better in response to her suggestion that they put one in their superior's coffee. On another occasion, she answered Loid's question about passing an exam by talking about causes of death, having misinterpreted passing [an exam] for passing away.

Yor is shown to be insecure about herself and her abilities, believing she is not good at anything apart from killing or cleaning, and she constantly worries that she's not being a good wife or mother. After the interview at Eden Academy, she tries to be more of a normal mother to Anya by trying to cook and asking Camilla for cooking lessons. Yor and her younger brother Yuri grew up in Eastern Nielsberg. Orphaned at a young age, Yor was recruited into Garden, where she began working as an assassin to provide financially for her bother. Wanting her brother to live without worries, she would use her paycheck to buy whichever educational books or snacks her brother desired.
She continued to support her brother with paychecks from her assassination jobs until Yuri was hired into the Ministry of Foreign Affairs as a diplomat, at which point she used the money for herself instead, and continued doing contracts into the present. Prior to her work at Berlint City Hall, she gave "massages" to customers, which were in fact a euphemism for her assassination work.

Strength: Despite her slim frame, Yor possesses monstrously superhuman physical abilities. She is capable of easily piercing human skulls with her weapons and a thrust from her hands alone can destroy pumpkins. She can easily crush people with her raw strength. She can throw her weapons hard enough to break through a wooden door and still impale someone on the other side. Her kicks can move speeding cars and brutalize humans. Her legs are also strong enough to jump an entire floor while carrying a woman and her child. In hand-to-hand combat, Yor's preferred method of attack is using rapid kicks. Her kicks were powerful enough to knock out Loid by merely grazing his chin, something he didn't experience since his training days. While attempting a strength-tester game, Yor destroyed the machine with a one-handed swing.

Yor has difficulty controlling her strength. While taking cooking lessons from Camilla, Yor accidentally sliced up the cutting board that she was chopping vegetables on. During a tennis match against Fiona Frost, she accidentally diced a tennis ball from the power of her swing. While she held back her strength on her next serve, it was still so powerful that Frost, who is a WISE agent with considerable strength, could barely hold back the ball until her racquet snapped. Frost claimed that the ball would've been sent flying a mile away if she had not tried to hit it. Two accidental slaps from Yor was enough to cause Yuri to bleed excessively to the point that some passing civilians were concerned and recommended that he should go to the hospital. By her own admission, she has accidentally broken two of Yuri's ribs from a hug when she was in her teens.

Speed and reflexes: Yor is imperceptibly fast and agile. Despite moving in heels, she was able to jump and land from tall heights, effortlessly knocking out a raging cow, and move fast enough to intercept and kill another assassin who was fast enough to evade the Director's bullets.

Yor has remarkably quick reflexes, being able to intercept a falling hot pan with just a motion of her leg and dodge rifle fire. Even when distracted, she was able to dodge garden shears from several feet away and was able to throw Becky out of the path of a car and catch her in time.

Durability and stamina: Yor was able to withstand a gunshot wound to her glutes and move normally, making it home, though this feat caused her considerable pain and left her in a bad mood. During the fight on the Princess Lorelei, she was able to kill over 22 assassins nonstop, suffering from a jammed finger and a chest wound. While rushing Becky Blackbell to the hospital after falsely assuming she was intoxicated, Yor was struck in the side by a car; the car being damaged enough to start smoking. Yor was sent rolling but got up, caught Becky and continued running without issue.

Cleaning: Yor is skilled at cleaning up the aftermath of her assassinations. This carries over to her homemaking abilities, and she keeps the house spotless.

Intelligence and intuition: Though not as smart as Loid, Yor has some knowledge of pressure points, utilizing it on a cow to instantly knock it out. She has some knowledge about the human body, though this seems to only extend to lethal points such as the jugular or carotid. She has a sharp intuition, as she can sense the gazes of the faculty members but doesn't suspect the source, as well as being able to recognize that Anya is missing in the crowd a moment after she leaps to a higher vantage point. Her illustrious assassination career is further testament to her impressive situational awareness.

Despite this, she was perceptive enough to notice she and Loid were being observed, but could not deduce from where. Yor also possesses adequate medical knowledge to treat a gunshot wound.

Poison Tolerance: Yor is highly resistant against poison. She drank a cocktail laced with the body fluids of a pufferfish, a family of fish which contain the neurotoxin tetrodotoxin which is lethal in the micrograms. Her only symptoms after ingesting the cocktail was a tingling sensation and a inhibited sense of pain which helped relieve her gunshot wound. During the fight on the cruise ship, she withstood inhaling enough poison gas to take down a bear.

Weapons: When in combat, Yor uses two golden stiletto-type weapons. They have a handle with a thin, circular loop at the butt and a long, conical point designed for stabbing and thrusting. She has yet to be seen using them outside of her assassin work. Yor uses them to stab into opponent's heads or arteries, though she has demonstrated the ability to throw them with great speed and force. These weapons are a reference to the thorns of a wild rose.

Alcohol: Despite her tolerance to poisons, Yor is a lightweight. She is prone to drinking large amounts of alcohol in a short amount of time, pouring wine into her glass eagerly, and drinking wine straight out of the bottle. Intoxication renders her temperamental and aggressive, as she is willing to use her martial arts against Loid and barely misses throwing a fork at Yuri, grazing him. She seems to share this trait with Yuri.

Cooking: Due to only considering the nutrients involved and not the taste or appearance of the meal, Yor is consistently bad at cooking and usually leaves the task to Loid. When she does attempt to cook dinner, she is unaware of what ingredients to buy and opts to get one of everything instead, thinking that she can make something as long as there are meat and vegetables. Her attempt at cooking breakfast for the family results in meals consisting of messily chopped fish heads and tails, prompting Anya to call her a terrible cook.

Yor's dishes cause any taster, even Loid, to collapse to the ground. However, all other dishes have resulted in the tasters collapsing on the ground, incapacitated. The only individual shown to withstand Yor's cooking is her brother Yuri, though he violently throws up endlessly even while eating. Despite this, Yuri grew up with no significant health issues. However, it was implied that Bond saw himself die at the hands of Yor's cooking in one of his visions. The only dish she can successfully cook is her late mother's southern stew, after Camilla gives her several cooking lessons and recreates the dish from their memories.

Her skills with handheld weapons are completely inapplicable in cooking, as she sliced meat razor thin and destroyed a cutting board. Yor also injured herself using a potato peeler.

Lying: Yor is extremely bad at lying and her alibis are successful only through sheer luck. After Yuri Briar asks Yor why she didn't tell him about Loid, Yor simply said she forgot. When pressed further, she told Yuri that she'd forgotten that she forgot to tell him. After destroying a strength tester machine, she attempted to explain her strength to Loid by lying about a former blacksmith apprenticeship.
