About

My name is Yuki Cross/Kuran; I am the adoptive daughter of the headmaster of Cross Academy, and I'm a member of the school's disciplinary committee, which is a Guardian for Cross Academy. Ten years prior to the events of Vampire Knight, my family (the Kuran family) was attacked by Rido Kuran, so my mother Juuri, wanting me to live as a normal human, sealed my memories, powers and pure vampire blood at the cost of her own life, and Headmaster Cross took my in. I lost all memories of my life before the attack, but since Kaname rescued me when I was attacked by a vampire, I have been harboring deep feelings for him. I have admired Kaname since I was small until present time. I'm usually a cheerful and carefree girl. I have also let Zero Kiryuu, a childhood best friend, drink my blood, hoping to save him from insanity. I care deeply for Zero, and have strong feelings for him. This is revealed in chapter 35 that I am the daughter of the Kuran family, a family of pureblood-vampires. Kaname and I are engaged; it is normal for pureblood siblings to marry. It is unknown if my feelings for Kaname are still romantic, as I seemed disturbed upon hearing that Kaname is my brother. I do have vampire powers as well, as this was witnessed in chapter 36. As I was getting over the shock of my parents deaths to save me, I accidentally made cracks in the window.

As it is shown in chapter 37, during a short talk with Zero, I refer to myself as not being the same as before. Zero can sense that I am a pureblood and aims "Bloody Rose" at me. I admit that my vampire side "ate" my human one and the new Yuuki is nothing like the one that Zero knows. However, my actions show that I still harbor strong feelings towards Zero and I truly worry about his life. After that scene, I run away and cry.

In Chapter 39, my best friend, Yori, finds out about my vampire side, but still hugs me. calling me an idiot for distanting myself from her. Kaname also plans to take me and leave school. I am also very worried about Zero though I try not to show it in front of Aido.

I'm also very sensitive to sunlight, as it was the first time I ever saw sunlight with my vampire eyes. Before my memory loss, my parents kept me locked up in a celler, preventing other vampire from finding out about me.
