Yuki Yamaguchi is part of the Side Cast of in Lessons In Love. She is a former gang member, the ex-lover of the Yamaguchi clan leader, and a recovering drug addict. She’s Yumi’s mother and Kaori’s aunt.

Background

Yuki was born to unnamed parents, who owned a candy store at which she worked when she was a kid. During high school, she dropped out to join a biker gang and roamed the city with very little to her name. This changed when she was assaulted by Yakuza goons, all of whom she beat up with an iron pipe. After she dealt with them, their leader, the heir of the Yamaguchi clan, apologized for their behavior and tried to woo her out of fear. With her only clothes being torn up, and his promise of an easy life, she agreed to his offer and lived in the Yamaguchi estate for years.

During her time there, she became addicted to drugs and was high most of the time, a state her husband often took advantage of, getting her pregnant with Yumi, which she only realized two months later. She gave birth to her, but, according to Yumi, she was still high most of the time and mostly ignored her daughter. Years later, she left the estate to get away from everything, leaving Yumi behind.

At some point, she decided to get clean and went into rehab, managing to overcome her addiction a few months before the events of the game. Sensei meets her for the first time during Everything Horrible, but only learns her identity later from Yumi during A Place Like This.

Characteristics

While her past as a gang member and drug addict might suggest that Yuki is a terrifying and short-tempered woman, she is actually extremely calm, a trait she picked up after years in the Yakuza and on drugs. This past also explains why she’s often unfazed by everything around her and doesn’t see a lot of things as worrying or as bad as people make it out to be. This indifference also extends to people, being extremely tolerant of people's eccentric or creepy traits, seen in her friendships with Sensei and Io. Her rehabilitation hasn't changed her stance on violence, feeling it's sometimes necessary.

Despite her tolerance and calm demeanor, she isn't callous, still being able to empathize and extend emotional support towards other, showing a particularly motherly side to Tsuneyo and Io. This support applies to Yumi as well, often asking Sensei for updates on her life, and even offering her support after her expulsion. She's constantly striving to be a better person as a form of atonement for her past, going through rehab, and getting a job to become self-reliant.

Relationships

Sensei

Yuki and Sensei have a neutral relationship.

Yuki’s daughter. Realizing how awful a job she did at raising her, Yuki accepts all the hatred Yumi has for her and fully understands why she doesn’t want to see her. She still cares about her life and is proud of her great development, including her physical development.

The conversation ended up a bitter note when Yuki shut her up after she acted disrespectful towards Sensei. The next time they speak is after Yumi's expulsion, when Yuki uses her influence in the Yamaguchi clan to visit the estate and talk to Yumi. This was the first proper discussion the two had had in years, and they left on much better terms.

Learning that she’s actually alive and has no family left, she started to spend more time with her so Kaori has more people in her life she can rely on. While Kaori's unique way of speaking confused her at first, Yuki quickly adapted to it.
