Profile[]
Appearance[]
Yunikina had long blonde hair and blue eyes. The suit of armor she wore, Icewind Warchant, includes a silver dress and boots, stockings, a helmet, and gloves. She also wielded a sword and had a horse, Grani, as her companion. Her voice was described as biting and firm.[2]
Personality[]
Yunikina was fearless and daring. She held a deep love for the North Kingdom, and she missed her destroyed hometown dearly. The combination of these factors gave her the courage and willpower to stage an uprising against the lord of White Rock City.
History[]
Yunikina was born in a small village. However, she moved thousands of miles to White Rock City at some point, and the village was reduced to rubble during the war.[3]
Yunikina served as the youngest second lieutenant for the lord of White Rock City. He assigned her to supervise a musician named Eagle, who the lord viewed as a threat. Yunikina's supervision prevented him from leaving his house, and nobody came to listen to his music anymore. Yunikina was surprised by how he accepted this, and he continued to sing and play his zither. Listening to his music made her think of her now-destroyed hometown, and brought tears to her eyes.[3]
At some point Yunikina and Eagle became lovers. However, she did not want him to become associated with the revolutionary force against the lord of White Rock City. She told him with tears in her eyes, "You are truly talented. Don't talk to the Revolutionary Party. Don't destroy yourself." Despite her advice, Eagle's music became a song of liberty for the people. He was taken and killed by the secret police during the night.[3]
Yunikina went into his house after he was taken, and found the designs for her war outfit, Icewind Warchant. He had written, "Dedicated to Yunikina and our snowy plains." She became angry because writing something like that was risky given the massive target on him. Just then, someone knocked at the door of his house. She realized she was in danger, and hid in a bookcase with her pistol. She was talented, and managed to escape. At that moment, she became an enemy of the lord and part of the revolution. She considered apologizing to the lord to gain her honor back, but realized she had done nothing wrong.[3]
Word spread that he was missing, and people began to lose hope. Yunikina took the opportunity to do what he would have wanted, and started the Snow Eagle Revolutionary Force. She published Eagle's last poem and how he died with the help of his comrades. The lord summoned North Kingdom's army to stop the revolutionary force, but Yunikina and the Snow Eagle Revolutionary Force prevailed, and she brought freedom to the people. She never cared for fame or prestige, only wanting liberation.[3]
After freeing White Rock City from the lord's tyranny, she and the Snow Eagle Revolutionary Force kept watch over the city to guard its newfound freedom, staying in the lord's main hall. However, they soon moved out and it was converted into a shelter due to its central and safe location.[2]
It was said that when Yunikina died, she was buried with Icewind Warchant under the frozen fields of North.[1]
Relationships[]
Eagle[]
Yunikina and Eagle both inspired each other: Eagle's music inspired Yunikina to turn against White Rock City's lord and reminded her of her homeland, and Yunikina inspired Eagle to create a design in her honor. Thus, despite being positioned on opposite sides initially, the two formed a bond.[3] Cali, a reporter from 680 who was interested in their story, referred to Yunikina and Eagle as lovers.[1][4]

Trivia[]
- In her early years she got a helmet, Frost Feather, as a trophy.[3]
- Her horse, Grani, is a reference to Norse mythology. Much like being the horse of Yunikina in Love Nikki, Grani was the horse of the hero Sigurd in Norse mythology.
- The story of Yunikina and Eagle shares many parallels with the story of Louie and Lunar. Yunikina is most similar to Louie: initially allied with the one who killed her lover, but later rose up against him. Eagle is most similar to Lunar, with both being musicians and designers.Cali even directly compares the two couples when she sees a scene play out between Louie and Lunar.[4]
- Regarding when Eagle and Yunikina lived, two different time periods are given. In Shining Nikki, the game which comes after Love Nikki, it was revealed that Eagle and Yunikina lived a few hundred years before Year 0. This would put them at least eight or nine hundred years before the timeline of Love Nikki. However, a post had previously been made by the official Miracle Nikki fanworks weibo (暖暖同人花园) in 2016, placing the time period they lived in at the late 500s.
