Yuri Eberwein (ユーリ・エーベルヴァイン Yūri Ēberuvain) is an original character introduced in Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha A's Portable: The Gears of Destiny.

NameEdit

Yuri is known as the Leader of the Purple Sky (紫天の盟主 Shiten no Meishu), which comes from the Tome of the Purple Sky.

"Eberwein" is a German surname, literally translated as "boar wine". "Yuri" ("Юрий") is a common Russian male name (a cognate of "George"). "Yuri" (ユリ Yuri) is simultaneously an unrelated Japanese female name (meaning "lily"; the term is also used for an anime/manga genre about lesbian relationships).

Alternate continuitiesEdit

PortableEdit

Yuri only appears in Gears of Destiny.

Born in the Ancient Belkan ages, Yuri was originally a human. However, due to a program written with the aim of overwriting the Book of Darkness, Yuri was turned into Unbreakable Dark (砕け得ぬ闇 Kudake'enu Yami), aka System "Unbreakable Dark" (アンブレイカブル・ダーク Anbureikaburu Dāku, shortened as U-D) until the separation by the end of The Gears of Destiny.

INNOCENTEdit

Yuri Eberwein, along Stern, Levi and Dearche, is a student studying abroad in Uminari City.

PowersEdit

As Unbreakable Dark, Yuri possesses the Examia (永遠結晶(エグザミア) Eguzamia, lit. Forever Crystal) as the core supported by the Eternal Ring (無限連環(エターナルリング) Etānaru Ringu) program. The system can only be controlled by the Tome of the Purple Sky, and it is able to regenerate the leftover of the Book of Darkness into dark fragments.

As an individual, Yuri herself possesses the Soul Wings (魄翼 Hakuyoku, aka the "Arms") as weapon, instead of wielding a Device like the Materials. Her protective clothing, apparently a Knight Clothing in the past era, is known as Purple Sky Attire (紫天装束 Shiten Shōzoku).
