Yuri Alpha

Yuri Alpha (ユリ・アルファ, Yuri・α) is the vice-captain and deputy leader of the Pleiades Six Stars, the battle maid squad of the Great Tomb of Nazarick that acted as the final line of defense of the tomb. She was created by Yamaiko, one of the only three female members of Ainz Ooal Gown.

Appearance
Yuri Alpha is a beauty with an intelligent look, wearing glasses and a blue-collar around her neck, likely to keep her head attached to her body since she is a Dullahan. She keeps her hair tied into a low-cropped bun. Lacking a metal plate in front of her skirt, her dress emphasizes mobility rather than defense. She is equipped with spiked gauntlets.

Personality
As seen by her Karma value, Yuri is good-hearted and one of the two Pleiades "safe" for humans. Thus, she is relieved when Ainz tells her not to kill humans without proper reason. When given permission to do as she pleases, Yuri chooses to help people in destitution. She uses "boku (ボク)" as a first-person pronoun when speaking in private, showing her polite nature.

Her behavior is strict and similar to that of a teacher. She is a workaholic, unable to relax with the thought of having free time. Due to her personality, she often works as a chairperson. She gladly accepts any request to do another person's work in their stead or supporting them through it. Interestingly, her status as an undead makes her very cold and calculating. However, her alignment and mental imprint of her creator allows her to enjoy short bouts of emotional outbursts, but these emotions are quickly repressed, similar to Ainz.

Background
Yuri Alpha was created by Yamaiko as one of the battle maids, the Pleiades. They served as the last line of defense against intruders in the tomb in YGGDRASIL. However, because she is unlikely to be unable stand against enemy players who managed to come that far, her only real purpose was to distract the invaders until the guild members of Ainz Ooal Gown were able to fully prepare for their final stand in the throne room.

Sensing something amiss, Albedo realized the one standing before them is a fake and orders the impostor's destruction. Both CZ2I28 and Yuri are hesitant to attack the form of a Supreme Being. The situation defused when Ainz ordered Pandora's Actor to reveal himself. After Ainz retrieved the World Items and bequeaths Pandora's Actor with a Ring of Ainz Ooal Gown, she assisted Pandora's Actor in moving the treasure to the Throne Room.

After the problem was resolved, she continued with the auction again.

Later, she reported to Ainz about the auction and the Floor Guardians' requested items. She informed him of Entoma wishing to have some tender human meat if possible, but Ainz refused the request, stating that he won’t kidnap innocent people. When Ainz read the other requests, he is left speechless at their content. When he tried to ask Yuri for an explanation, she was unable to give him a proper answer.

The Pleiades Day Arc
Yuri had begun training Tuare as a maid for the girl's eventual position as the Head Maid in E-Rantel. After she finished her session with the human, she noticed she had free time and found herself unable to think of anything to do. As a result, she returned to her quarters on the 9th Floor. Yuri meets Lupusregina and Narberal, who were idly doing nothing, which frustrated her. Just as she began to scold them for their lax behavior, she was summoned by Ainz Ooal Gown to address an altercation that had occurred between him and Solution.

Once Yuri forces Solution to answer Ainz and discovers her discontent, Ainz charged Yuri with assessing whether the other Battle Maids have any grievances they wish to address. She meets Shizu and later Entoma, learning of their requests. Upon returning with her report, Ainz approved her suggestion of building a new orphanage and promised to put all of the Sorcerer Kingdom's resources behind her. She was allowed to request any help and to free Pestonya and Nigredo from confinement.

She reported to the Sorcerer King that they will challenge him together with the Evil Lord in a staged duel.

Later, at the appointed time, Yuri was replaced by a Doppelgänger from the Erich String Orchestra so Ainz would not be restricted by needing to hold back his power.

Trivia

 * Yuri's creator, Yamaiko, was also a teacher and her weapon was also a pair of giant gauntlets. Yamaiko's personality might have influenced Yuri.
 * While other Pleiades members simply call each other by name or nickname, all of them call Yuri "big sis", treating her as the firstborn.

Quotes

 * (To Ainz): "Ainz-sama, why are these treasures not left in a heap like this? Even with protective magic applied, this cannot be considered a good state of preservation. Should you give the order, we will immediately get started with tidying up."
 * (To Lupusregina): "You're terrible. You’re as bad as Solution. Why are my little sisters like this? Really, the only good one is Shizu… although I suppose Entoma isn't a bad girl."
 * (To Nfirea): "I am Ainz-sama's maid, Yuri Alpha. I am here to receive Nfirea-sama, Enri-sama and Nemu-sama. Will you permit us entry?"
 * (To Neuronist Painkill): "Worst Job, Worst Personality, Worst Homebase, Worst Looks and Worst Lewdness?"
 * (After finishing all the work she had done until now): "Too much free — no, too much standby time is a little...I want to have more work."
