## Overview
Yor Forger is introduced as a mild‑mannered, slightly odd office worker in Berlint who becomes the “mother” in the Forger family’s fabricated household.
In reality, she is an assassin raised by the shadowy group Garden, who uses her lethal skills to “clean up” traitors and threats to her country.
She lost her parents at a young age and raised her younger brother Yuri Briar by herself, effectively acting as his parent.
To support him, she joined Garden as a child and began working as an assassin while still very young.
In the present timeline, Yor enters into a sham marriage with Loid Forger, a spy operating under the codename Twilight, though she does not know his true identity.
The marriage is mutually beneficial: Yor avoids suspicion from the secret police, while Loid gains the “respectable family” he needs for his mission.
Although the relationship begins as a pragmatic arrangement, Yor develops genuine affection and attachment toward both Loid and Anya Forger.
However, she is extremely shy about romantic matters, leading to comically acrobatic avoidance whenever she thinks Loid is making advances.
Yor’s personality is gentle, earnest, and deeply kind, but also extremely naive and airheaded.
Her lack of common sense, combined with her violent line of work, produces bizarre thoughts and misunderstandings that often drive the series’ comedy.
She believes strongly in maintaining peace and eliminating those who threaten it, seeing her work as a way to reduce the world’s unfairness.
Over time, she begins to question what she is truly fighting for, eventually finding a new sense of purpose in protecting the quiet happiness of her loved ones.
## Personality
Yor is soft‑spoken, polite, and humble, speaking in honorific form even to Anya Forger, her younger brother Yuri, and small children.
She very rarely becomes angry at ordinary people and is generally tolerant and gentle.
She is, however, astonishingly gullible and out of touch with everyday life.
She takes jokes and sarcasm at face value, and even basic social concepts can go over her head, such as misunderstanding the meaning of “First Lady.”
Examples of her naive behavior include seriously asking whether putting boogers in coffee would make it taste better when a coworker jokes about it.
She also confuses Anya’s unused gym clothes with forgotten items and completely misreads romantic comments in the simplest possible way.
Her sense of common sense is warped by years of assassination work: “cleaning up” often means killing, and she mentally translates everyday situations into combat or murder metaphors.
Despite this, she is capable of self‑reflection and often chastises herself when she realizes her thoughts are too violent or inappropriate.
Yor has very low self‑esteem and tends to blame herself whenever something goes wrong, saying things like “I’m so useless” or “I’m such a failure.”
She rarely pursues her own desires and spends most of her time and money on Loid, Anya, or Yuri.
Socially, she was initially seen as a weirdo at work due to her odd reactions and loner lifestyle.
After “marrying” Loid, she becomes more sociable, and her relationships with coworkers like Camilla and Millie slowly improve.
She also has very little experience with romance and with being cared for by others.
Because of that, Loid’s practiced gentlemanly concern and Anya’s obvious affection move her deeply, and she reacts with almost childlike joy to small kindnesses.
At her core, Yor is loving and protective, especially toward her family.
When Anya is insulted or threatened, her usual softness disappears, replaced by a terrifyingly cold fury directed at the offender.

Yor Forger is a beautiful young woman, 27 years old.
She is slender but surprisingly strong.
Her most striking features are the gold rose-shaped hair ornament, long black dress with a red rose design inside, and black thigh-high boots.
When working as the assassin Thorn Princess, she uses long, thorn-like stabbing weapons called stiletto knives.
Yor has a graceful look, but she is not aware of how pretty she is.
## Personality
Yor has two sides to her personality.
At work and home, she is gentle, kind, and a bit air-headed.
She always speaks politely to others, no matter their age.
Yor often gets caught up in strange daydreams and is bad at lying, making her awkward in tricky situations.
She loves apples and hates bugs.
Yor becomes completely drunk with just a small amount of alcohol.
Though she is an elite killer, she still feels nervous about human relationships and tries her best to avoid conflicts.
## Background
As a child, Yor lost her parents and had to take care of her younger brother Yuri Briar.
To support him, she joined the secret assassin organization called Garden, taking the codename Thorn Princess.
Her boss, Shopkeeper, gives her jobs to "serve" (or kill) targets.
Yor has done this since she was young, balancing her double life as a city worker and assassin.
She hides her real job from Yuri and others around her.
When rumors about spies began to risk her normal job and life, she decided to find a fake husband.
She met Loid Forger, who also needed a fake wife, and they started living as a family with his adopted daughter, Anya Forger.
## Abilities
Yor Forger is one of the strongest characters in SPY x FAMILY.
She can easily beat groups of bodyguards, lift or kick moving cars, and survive deadly poison.
Yor fights using agility and her stiletto weapons, often beating her targets head-on.
She is a very skilled assassin, used to cleaning up after her work so she leaves no trace.
While her fighting and cleaning skills are excellent, she is very bad at most other housework, especially cooking.
At first, her cooking is so bad that anyone who eats it feels sick.
## Relationships
- Loid Forger: Her husband in their fake marriage. Yor has real feelings for him, but gets very shy and clumsy around him. Loid does not realize she likes him and sees their marriage as just part of the mission.
- Anya Forger: Her step-daughter. Yor loves and cares for Anya as real family.
- Yuri Briar: Her younger brother, whom she raised since childhood. He does not know about her assassin job.
- Camilla: A friend who helps Yor practice cooking, so she can make her mother’s special stew, which becomes popular in the family.
## Plot
### Double Life in the City
Yor works at Berlint City Hall as a quiet and polite staff member.
But when duty calls, she becomes Thorn Princess, a famous Garden assassin.
She receives secret orders from her boss, Shopkeeper, to kill dangerous people, called "customers," for the organization.
### Making a Family for Her Cover
Problems in her public job and worry over being suspected as a spy force Yor to consider fake marriage.
She meets Loid Forger, a psychiatrist, who is also looking for a spouse to hide his own secret identity as a spy.
Together, they create a fake family, with Loid’s adopted daughter, Anya Forger.
Yor gets her peaceful daily life and the chance to continue her assassin work in secret.
### Becoming the Thorn Princess
Yor takes her assassin missions very seriously.
She faces her targets head-on, defeating all nearby guards and anyone who stands in her way.
With her strength and skills, she leaves no survivors but always cleans up after herself.
She proudly thinks that her assassin work protects her loved ones and the peace of everyday people.
Yor keeps this side of herself totally secret from Loid, Anya, and Yuri.
### Learning to be a Better Mother and Wife
Yor struggles with typical mother and wife duties like cooking.
After some time and help from her friend Camilla, she learns how to make her mother’s stew the way Yuri remembered, making Loid and Anya very happy.
## Trivia
- Yor’s weapons, the stiletto knives, were inspired by the spy novel "Eye of the Needle."
- Her assassin outfit was designed for looks, not because it’s practical for fighting.
- In fan creations, Yor is often shown in action poses or in her cool black Assassin outfit.
- Her code name, Thorn Princess, and her weapon design were part of the story ideas from the beginning.
- She loves apples and dislikes bugs.
## Others
Yor is considered one of the most powerful characters in the story.
She is known for both her beauty and her terrifying strength.
While she is scary in battle, Yor really just wants to protect her new family and keep them safe.
Yor is a tall, slender woman with striking, well‑balanced features and is widely regarded as beautiful by those around her.
Her coworkers note that she would be extremely popular if she dressed up more, and even elementary school boys remark that she is “pretty.”
She has long black hair that she usually wears tied back with a headband, with distinctive long side strands framing her face.
When off duty at home, she often lets her hair down, giving her a softer, more relaxed look.
Her eyes are red, a trait she shares with her brother Yuri Briar, and their faces are so similar that the creator has commented Yuri would look like Yor if he were female.
Her neck and upper arms are somewhat sturdy, fitting her incredible physical strength, and her fingertips look sharp when she goes into combat mode.
At home, she frequently wears a red sweater that bares her shoulders and much of her back, making for a surprisingly sensual casual outfit.
In her civilian life she dresses modestly and simply, which contrasts sharply with her glamorous and deadly assassin attire.
## Codename “Thorn Princess”
Yor’s secret identity is the assassin known as “Thorn Princess,” a top operative of the clandestine organization Garden.
Garden is a hidden group dedicated to eliminating “traitors” and enemies of the East, acting in the shadows through “cleanup” missions.
She was recruited as a child after losing her parents and began killing to support Yuri and keep both of them alive.
Over time, she came to embrace the idea that she was “cleaning” the country of those who would disturb its peace.
On missions, Yor typically wears a black, elegant little black dress paired with black thigh‑high boots, accentuating both mobility and intimidation.
Her primary weapons are stilettos—needle‑like daggers with ring‑shaped pommels—which she wields like kunai for close combat and throwing.
For certain special operations, such as the forest mission in the ship arc, she wears a more practical combat uniform with a beret and scarf to handle hazardous terrain and poisonous flora and fauna.
Regardless of outfit, her demeanor shifts from harmlessly ditzy to chillingly professional when she is “working.”
Yor usually carries out her hits alone, attacking directly from the front rather than relying on stealthy assassinations in the conventional sense.
Her missions often end with everyone on the scene being killed, including armed bodyguards and security personnel.
Despite this brutal record, she does not revel in unnecessary killing.
When her mission is protection rather than assassination, she tries to persuade enemies to stand down and avoids extra casualties when possible.
She sees her work as necessary “cleaning” to reduce the number of children who suffer as she and Loid once did.
Even after Yuri has become independent and no longer needs her financial support, she continues to fight, driven by her desire to protect the world’s fragile peace.
Garden’s internal procedures are ruthlessly pragmatic.
If Yor is ever fatally injured or killed in the line of duty, her death will be covered up as a sudden transfer, and her family and friends—including Yuri and the Forger family—will be informed accordingly.
Garden itself is so deeply hidden that its existence is closer to an urban legend.
Even high‑ranking figures like the State Security Service director are effectively just clients and intermediaries, and the spy agency WISE, including Loid’s organization, has no confirmed knowledge of Garden.
## Combat Ability
Yor’s combat ability is overwhelmingly superhuman and is stated in official materials to surpass Loid Forger’s physical capabilities.
Using a rough scale, if Loid’s body is rated 70, Yor is rated 100.
Her raw strength is absurd.
When she loses control, she can shatter a tennis ball mid‑air with a single swing, crater a volleyball court with a spike, and launch a ball so hard it breaks through the ceiling and appears to punch into the sky.
In a local bowling event, she casually throws a house ball like a baseball straight down the lane for a perfect game.
The pins explode across multiple lanes, and some appear sliced as if by a blade, even damaging the pinsetter machine and back of the lane.
She can kick a moving car hard enough to knock it away, and in direct hand‑to‑hand combat she easily bends adult men’s wrists and snaps blades with one hand.
Her strikes are so powerful that anyone she hits reflexively—even in embarrassment—is launched away like a rag doll.
Her speed and agility are equally monstrous.
She can dodge bullets fired blindly through a door, and in the bus hijacking incident she manages to outrun cars on foot, despite city traffic still moving.
Animated depictions also show her performing parkour‑like leaps across city rooftops.
Students at Eden Academy who glimpsed her acrobatics even mistake her for an urban legend “spider woman.”
Yor is incredibly tough and has remarkable resistance to toxins.
She has survived ingesting the lethal toxin from an entire pufferfish—roughly ten times a normal human’s fatal dose—with only a temporary decrease in performance before quickly recovering.
She shrugs off poison gas and high‑voltage stun gun attacks with little more than an “Ouch, that hurts!” reaction, to the astonishment of her enemies.
Even being hit by a car results in little more than a nosebleed for her, while the car takes the real damage.
However, she is not completely invulnerable.
Extremely powerful poisons or certain dangerous creatures can still wound her, as Garden’s Shopkeeper notes that the forest’s venomous wildlife would be dangerous even to Yor.
She can be hurt by bullets as well; when shot in the buttocks in a side story, she is clearly in agony, though still far more durable than a normal person.
Her hands, which often get cut and injured during everyday activities like cooking, are comparatively fragile, and she can sprain her wrist punching armored foes.
Yor has extraordinary battle intuition and perception.
She can sense killing intent, detect hidden enemies, and predict their movements even when they are at a distance, including snipers.
She is also excellent at erasing her own presence, slipping behind people without notice even in everyday life.
When she first meets Loid, she quietly appears behind him, noticing his gaze on her before he realizes how she moved.
Despite all of this, Yor is terrible at ranged weapons like guns and bows, preferring close combat.
She is also surprisingly poor at subtle poisoning tactics, despite having toxic substances stored at home and occasionally applying poison to her weapons.
Alcohol is one of the few substances that affect her drastically: she is a severe lightweight with awful drinking habits.
Even small amounts of alcohol can send her into an out‑of‑control state where her speech and actions become unpredictable, though her combat ability actually increases as her inhibitions disappear.
Yor’s unusual physiology also means normal medicine does not work very well on her.
When injured on Garden missions, she relies on specially formulated treatments prepared by a Garden specialist named Ginpie.
In comedic scenes, her superhuman feats consistently leave bystanders stunned into silence, eyes wide in disbelief.
Interestingly, Damian Desmond’s mother, Melinda Desmond, finds these displays “amusing” rather than frightening, showing a unique appreciation for Yor’s oddity.
## Public Life and Work at Berlint City Hall
In her civilian life, Yor works as a clerk at Berlint City Hall in the East.
Her tasks are routine and bureaucratic, far removed from her nocturnal activities as an assassin.
Her colleagues, especially the women, initially see her as strange and distant due to her quiet nature, odd comments, and isolated lifestyle as an unmarried woman.
In the East, unmarried women are sometimes suspected by the secret police of being spies, making Yor particularly eager to secure a socially acceptable family cover.
After she “marries” Loid Forger, her social standing improves, and she becomes gradually more outgoing and accepted by coworkers like Camilla and Millie.
Her marriage also shields her from suspicion by the State Security Service, which likely would have scrutinized a lone, unattached woman.
Despite her airheaded reputation, Yor occasionally demonstrates sharp insight and firm moral backbone.
During a charity event, when a group of snobbish ladies insult Millie, Yor defends her with clear, decisive arguments, shutting down the aristocratic bullying with calm but pointed words.
Her colleagues recognize that behind the oddness, she is fundamentally a good person.
As her interactions increase, they come to respect her more, and some even rely on her in social events.
## Family and Relationships
### With Loid Forger
Loid Forger is a spy codenamed Twilight who poses as Yor’s husband, though she remains unaware of his true profession.
Their marriage is forged through mutual convenience: Loid needs a wife and child for his operation, and Yor needs a socially acceptable cover to avoid suspicion.
Initially, Yor sees Loid as a kind, dependable man and a blessing who helps her maintain a normal facade.
Loid, observing her devotion to Anya and her good nature, comes to trust Yor deeply as a partner in maintaining the family cover.
Yor gradually develops romantic feelings toward Loid, though she does not fully understand or consciously acknowledge them.
Her inexperience with romance makes her extremely flustered by physical proximity or perceived advances, often triggering ridiculous self‑defense reactions like acrobatic dodges or reflexive shoves.
Loid, misreading her reactions, assumes she is simply committed to the role and not interested in him romantically.
He greatly values her as an ally and “wife” who fits perfectly into his cover story and cares genuinely for Anya.
At one point, Loid reassures Yor that enduring difficult work to protect someone or something is something to be proud of, without realizing how closely this touches her assassin life.
These words become a pillar of emotional support for Yor, convincing her that even if her secret life destroys their current family, Loid would understand and forgive her.
Yor’s subconscious jealousy and protectiveness surface when confronted by Fiona Frost, Loid’s subordinate and rival “wife candidate.”
During a tennis match with Fiona, Yor fights with unusual intensity, later emphasizing her victory to Loid in an almost childishly eager bid for his approval.
### With Anya Forger
Anya Forger is a telepathic child adopted by Loid, who becomes Yor’s daughter in the family cover.
Yor has no idea about Anya’s telepathy but instinctively loves and protects her as if she were her own child.
Having raised Yuri from a young age, Yor has a good natural sense of how to handle children, even if she lacks theoretical knowledge.
She mixes a gentle, indulgent approach with firm but kind guidance, generally preferring to encourage and respect Anya’s feelings rather than enforce harsh discipline.
Loid often takes the “whip” role in education, focusing on strict academic achievement for the sake of his mission.
By contrast, Yor is the “candy,” comforting Anya, supporting her emotionally, and smoothing conflicts when Loid’s demands overwhelm the child.
Anya occasionally recoils at Yor’s violent inner monologue, which she hears through her telepathy.
However, she also senses Yor’s pure intentions and deep love, viewing her as a “super strong but kind” mother she adores and relies on.
Anya openly expresses affection for Yor, and Yor is deeply moved by even small signs of Anya’s love.
Yor is determined to become a good mother and works hard to help Anya feel safe, even while juggling her dangerous secret job.
### With Yuri Briar
Yuri Briar is Yor’s younger brother, seven years her junior, and a passionate officer in the State Security Service (secret police).
He adores his sister to an extreme degree and is fiercely protective and possessive of her.
Yor raised Yuri after their parents’ early death, acting as his mother, father, and sister combined.
To feed and educate him, she began taking assassination jobs, hiding the truth from him by telling him she had a normal office job.
Because she forgot to tell Yuri about her marriage and subsequent move—thanks to her relief at finally having a cover—Yuri discovers it only later.
From his perspective, his beloved sister secretly married and hid it from him for over a year, leading to an explosive and comedic confrontation during his first visit to the Forger home.
Yuri, hardened by his own dark state work, is still entirely unaware that Yor is actually an assassin.
He is, however, mysteriously resilient to her cooking due to years of “training” his stomach on her terrifying dishes, although he still visibly struggles when eating them.
Yor continues to see Yuri as the child she must protect, despite his status as a powerful secret police officer.
Her desire to preserve a peaceful life for him is a major motivation behind her continued work with Garden.
### With Bond Forger
Bond Forger is the Forger family’s dog, who secretly has the power of precognition.
Bond is terrified of Yor’s cooking, correctly foreseeing that eating it would result in death.
As a pet owner, Yor is affectionate and kind, though animals sometimes instinctively sense her dangerous aura and grow nervous around her.
Bond nonetheless understands through his visions that Yor loves the family deeply and will protect them at all costs.
### With Friends and Acquaintances
Yor gradually builds relationships with a variety of people.
She befriends other mothers and wives through the “patriotic women’s association” and a local volleyball team, where her overwhelming strength often shocks others.
She also becomes friends with Melinda Desmond, Damian Desmond’s mother and wife of the powerful Donovan Desmond.
Melinda finds Yor amusing and interesting, even when Yor’s actions are bizarre, hinting at a complex dynamic between them.
At work, Camilla initially looks down on Yor, but over time softens and even teaches Yor cooking.
Millie and other coworkers also come to appreciate Yor more as she opens up socially after her marriage.
## Domestic Skills and Daily Life
Yor is paradoxical in domestic matters: she excels at some tasks and is catastrophically bad at others.
Her experience disposing of bodies and cleaning up crime scenes means her cleaning skills are top‑notch.
She is good at basic chores like washing dishes, doing laundry, and shopping once shown how.
Over time, Loid entrusts more household duties to her, and she becomes more reliable in managing routine tasks.
However, Yor is famously terrible at sewing and crafting.
When she tries to repair a stuffed animal that Bond has torn apart, the toy ends up even more horrifying, prompting Anya to cry that it looks “even more dead.”
The greatest disaster area is her cooking.
Her instinctive “just throw in every nutritious ingredient” style leads to horrifying, inedible dishes with monstrous appearances.
Anyone who eats her cooking ends up writhing in agony, and Bond is convinced that eating her food would literally kill him.
Yuri, who was forced to eat her food growing up, has developed some resistance but still suffers whenever he consumes it.
Yor’s poor cooking stems from a lack of guidance: with her parents gone, she had no one to teach her, and her own superhuman constitution allows her to eat nearly anything without noticing the taste.
Only after eating Loid’s excellent food regularly does she begin to refine her palate and realize that her own cooking might not be acceptable.
Under Camilla’s strict training, Yor learns to cook one dish properly: a southern stew that her mother used to make.
By following the recipe precisely and resisting the urge to improvise, she manages to recreate the flavor of their childhood stew, earning genuine praise from both Loid and Anya.
Cooking remains difficult for her, but when she has clear instructions and an expert teacher, she can produce decent food.
She can also reliably prepare simple drinks like tea, coffee, and cafe au lait, as these require no creative interpretation.
Interestingly, certain kitchen tools reveal her extremes.
She clumsily injures herself when using a peeler on potatoes, but when slicing meat with a knife, she cuts it into impossibly fine shreds and damages the cutting board in the process.
Her previous apartment before moving in with the Forgers was nearly empty, reflecting her lack of interest in her own comfort or hobbies.
She rarely buys anything for herself, focusing instead on gifts or necessities for Loid and Anya.
## Parenting Style
Yor approaches parenting with enthusiasm and sincerity, despite her insecurity about being a good mother.
Her experience raising Yuri gives her a basic sense of what children need emotionally.
In contrast to Loid’s sometimes harsh and mission‑driven educational approach, Yor emphasizes warmth and emotional support.
She tends to motivate Anya through encouragement and empathy, letting Anya try things at her own pace.
When Anya misbehaves or throws tantrums, Loid often becomes exasperated, but Yor steps in to gently mediate.
She explains situations in simple terms, reassures Anya, and helps Loid understand the child’s viewpoint.
Yor respects Anya’s autonomy, asking for her opinion and preferences rather than forcing her into decisions.
She wants Anya to grow up safe and happy, not merely “successful” for some external mission.
Her gentle style is rooted in her own trauma of growing up in war and poverty.
Seeing Anya happily playing, she quietly wishes that such peaceful days would continue forever.
Yor accepts Loid’s frequent absences without complaint, believing sincerely that “a doctor’s job is very demanding.”
She rarely suspects anything beyond his cover story and simply resolves to handle child‑rearing and housework on the days he is “busy.”
Over time, Yor’s maternal instincts deepen, and she becomes more confident in her role.
Anya recognizes her as a real mother and repeatedly chooses Yor’s side when given the chance, reinforcing Yor’s sense of belonging in the Forger family.
## Views on Peace, Justice, and Her Work
Yor’s decision to become an assassin originally came from survival: she needed money to raise Yuri after their parents’ deaths.
However, as she matured, she reframed her actions as “cleaning” away traitors and criminals who threaten her country’s stability.
She firmly believes that reducing dangerous elements helps prevent future wars and tragedies.
She wants to create a world where children like herself and Loid do not lose their families to conflict and chaos.
The ship arc particularly challenges Yor’s sense of identity and purpose.
Protecting a client and her child aboard a cruise ship, Yor confronts the possibility that her skills might be obsolete or that her violence might endanger her new family.
Through this ordeal, she rediscovers her resolve.
She decides that even if she loses her current place in the Forger family or dies in the line of duty, she will continue to fight to reduce the world’s unfairness and protect everyday peace.
Her convictions mirror those of both Loid and Yuri in different ways.
Loid sacrifices his past and identity as Twilight for peace, while Yuri stains his hands in the name of protecting his sister and country; Yor’s beliefs sit at the intersection of their motivations.
Yor deeply values small signs of peace, like Anya playing with friends or lighthearted TV news about a seal.
She even remarks that such trivial news is proof of peace and that she genuinely likes that kind of broadcast.
Despite being surrounded by death in her job, Yor’s heart remains fundamentally gentle and hopeful.
She wants not glory or recognition, but the quiet continuation of ordinary, peaceful days for the people she loves.
## Trivia and Meta Information
Early concept ideas for Yor’s character reportedly included a darker, more antagonistic version of her as a stepmother.
One early draft described her as a woman who loved her husband obsessively but was harsh toward her adopted daughter, a concept later echoed in Fiona Frost’s personality instead.
Another early idea associated her with “cleaning” and “disinfection,” which nearly led to her being designed as a nurse.
This concept eventually shifted into the assassin “cleaner” motif of Garden and the “Thorn Princess” codename.
Among the Forger family’s main cast, Yor’s voice actor Saori Hayami is actually the youngest.
She is also younger than Yuri’s voice actor, Kensho Ono, despite playing the older sister.
Interestingly, Anya’s voice actor, Atsumi Tanezaki, originally intended to audition for Yor.
However, as a fan of the original manga, she felt that “Yor can only be played by Saori Hayami,” so she switched and auditioned for Anya instead, ultimately winning that role.
On stage, Yor has been portrayed by multiple actresses with varied heights and performing styles.
Fuuka Yuzuki, at 154 cm, focused heavily on posture and voice to embody Yor’s presence, while Sora Kazuki brings experience from the Takarazuka Revue’s Cosmos Troupe, previously led by Sylvia Sherwood’s stage actress, Manato Asaka.
Finally, Yor’s extreme aura seems to be detectable even by animals, which often react nervously to her.
Bond Forger’s prophetic visions and other small details suggest that, to those who can sense it, Yor is one of the most dangerous beings in the Spy × Family world—wrapped in the guise of a slightly scatterbrained, endlessly kind mother.

Yor Forger
“いばら姫”／ヨル・フォージャー（Yor Forger）／ヨル・ブライア（Yor Briar）〈旧姓〉
Simplified Name: 约尔·福杰
Gender: Female
Age: 27
Birthday: OctoberMay 3129
Gender: Female
Age: 27
Birthday: OctoberMay 3129
The woman who plays the role of mother in the temporary "family" that forms the core of the story. She is a female clerk at the City Hall of Berlint, and unbeknownst to others, she is a skilled assassin. 27 years old. She generally speaks politely to others, regardless of their age or relation. Her favorite food is apples, and she dislikes insects.
Having lost her parents at a young age, she belongs to the assassination organization "Garden," working as the assassin known as "Ibari Hime" (Thorn Princess) while supporting her younger brother Yuri. She receives instructions from the boss of Garden and "serves" her customers (targets) by killing them. Skilled in the assassination techniques honed from childhood, she has a high tolerance for poison, to the extent that she can withstand lethal doses of pufferfish toxin. Slim yet extraordinarily strong, she possesses pure fighting ability and physical prowess that surpass even Loid, able to kick a moving car away.
Instead of relying on assassination, she often storms in solo and annihilates everyone, including surrounding security personnel, when her "service" is complete. During her "service," she adeptly wields her weapon, a stiletto, like a kunai in battle.
Normally gentle and somewhat air-headed, she sometimes falls into bizarre fantasies and struggles with psychological tactics, being poor at lying. She has a terrible drinking problem, often losing consciousness after just a small amount of alcohol.
Unaware of her own stunning beauty, she was looking for a role as a wife to avoid issues with relationships and to prevent suspicion. She staged a faux marriage with Loid (Twilight), becoming Anya's stepmother. Due to Loid's manipulations, their marriage was registered a year prior in official records. While her motives for accepting Loid as her husband and Anya as her daughter were rooted in mutual benefit, she genuinely holds affection for both. However, she feels embarrassed around Loid and often evades him acrobatically or pushes him away when she feels he is being too forward. Because of this behavior, Loid remains unaware of Yor's affection, believing that she is simply playing the role of a fake family member.
She is skilled at cleaning, as she is accustomed to tidying up after her "services," but she is not good at other household chores. Particularly, her cooking is disastrous—anyone who tries her handmade meals ends up in agony. As a result, Loid is generally responsible for cooking in the Forger household. Later on, she asks Camila for cooking training and is able to make a stew that matches the taste of her mother's signature dishes that she used to eat with Yuri, which becomes popular with both Loid and Anya.
