She also seems to have talent in cooking and sewing, and to some extent engineering as she built an electric chair from household appliances.

In the anime, she has a habit of referring to herself in the third person. Despite the insecure comments in her introduction, she has immense pride in her appearance and hair, even threatening to murder Koichi once he damaged her hair during their fight, and again threatening Aya after her Cinderella caused her face to fall apart.

Her love takes an overtly psychopathic turn when she decides to kidnap him and attempt to brainwash him into reciprocating her feelings, as well as forcefully training him into fitting an idealized picture of himself. Yukako's most recognizable, and defining character trait is her obsessive, almost scary love for Koichi, which she explains as appreciation for men with potential rather than perfect people, whom she considers boring, and admits outright to becoming obsessive about anything she likes.
