Yu Kiyose

Yu Kiyose (清瀬 優) is a character from PuraOre! ~Pride of Orange~. She is a member of the Dream Monkeys.

Appearance
Yu has chest-length blue hair and silvery-grey eyes.

Personality
Yu is a perfectionist and overall serious girl, but she's actually quite sensitive and easily hurt. She's often annoyed by Manaka Mizusawa's optimism, but secretly envies her. Yu is unconcerned about anything that isn't related to ice hockey, and as such, is inexperienced in the world outside the rink. In a pinch, she can make god-like plays and is greatly trusted by her teammates.

History
Born in Hokkaido, Yu was a famous and strong player of the team Kushiro Snow White. However, for an unknown reason, she decided to quit the team and playing ice hockey in general, moving to Nikko to live with her grandmother. Yu thought she would never play on the ice again, but after convincing from Manaka Mizusawa and Youko Matsunaga, she begins playing ice hockey again.

Manaka Mizusawa
Manaka helps convince Yu to start playing hockey again. Yu is somewhat jealous of Manaka's optimism, even though she acts annoyed by it.
