19. How do they behave within a group? What role(s) do they take? Does this differ if they know and trust the group, versus finding themselves in a group of strangers? Why?

It depends on what sort of people are in the group, but Yuuko tends to pick up either the leader or the devil’s advocate/realist of the group. They’ve already lead two rather large and infamous organization under two different identities: one as Yuugo, the Zaxon Leader (which was partly influenced by some mental manipulation from her guardian/step mom), and the other as themselves, the Kamishiro heir in regards to both their company and EDEN as a whole. Although they acknowledge all the assistance they have been given, they have a habit of thinking of them more as tools to get the job done than actual people – going so far as not to realize their closest ally for years was a friend until halfway into the game.

In regards to the protag and their group, they realize a more ‘charismatic’ leader is necessary along with their ‘special abilities.’ They can also see just how everyone is somewhat ‘pulled’ into the group by them, again their charisma, making them best suited for the role. However, seeing just who was in the group and how even the supposed retired ace hacker from the pre-digimon days acts from time to time, they find themselves slipping into the role which they find most suitable for the group—tossing in a few snide remarks and trying to ground everyone else to the reality of the situation—yet they do have plenty of difficulty seeing past some playful personas to see their true intentions especially when cornered, when there are any. This gullibility is something that they’re still trying to work on. 

In short, they’re someone who holds themselves back in a group until they learn more about them and finds a place for themselves. 

31. Is there anything that counts as a “dealbreaker” for them, positively or negatively? What makes things go smoothly, and what spoils an activity or ruins their day? Why?

Positive dealbreakers would be if they’ve got some obligations with family. Or in this world, something good happens that distracts them from former obligations. Negatively …. ah, well, pretty much anything that derails them from whatever the deal is. They’re not especially fond of crimes, preferring to play the role of the hero. However, if it would be for the greater good (or to get their own revenge) they wouldn’t mind crossing lines they normally wouldn’t make in order to get their perceived version of justice.

To make deals go smoothly, they would have something that Yuuko requires or deems as necessary otherwise they wouldn’t even turn their nose in their direction. The other thing is to have some sort decent relationship with the person who’s making the deal, whether or not their intentions are pure or not doesn’t matter as long as it appears legitimate to Yuuko or the benefits outweigh the consequences. They’re someone who freely cast away their own identity in order to do what they believed would protect their father’s legacy.
