Hongo Yui

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Yui Hongo (本郷 唯 Hongō Yui) is A very intelligent girl and Miaka's best friend in the real world. Yui becomes trapped in the book universe while trying to help Miaka to return to the real world, and is subsequently caught and raped by bandits. Distraught, she tries to slit her wrists, but is found by Nakago and who brings her to Kutou. Not realising that her rape was orchestrated by Nakago, Yui begins to blame Miaka for what happened to her and turns against her former best friend, becoming the Priestess of Seiryū (Seiryū no Miko), swearing to fight against Miaka and to take Tamahome from her (Yui is also in love with Tamahome). After succeeding in summoning Seiryū, Yui uses her first wish to seal away Suzaku's powers. Her second wish is to take Miaka and herself back to their world, hoping to separate Miaka and Tamahome, but Tamahome also arrives in their world with them. Upon learning that Nakago had been using her all along, she has a change of heart and redeems herself by using her third and last wish to disable the seal on Suzaku, allowing Miaka to summon it, but she is absorbed by Seiryū afterwards. After summoning Suzaku, Miaka used her first wish to rescue Yui, and they became friends again.

It should be noted that Yui was not in fact raped, but led to believe she was raped. Nakago rescued her shortly after she was knocked out by the bandits and let her come to her own conclusions after she regained consciousness.
