Background[]
Two years before the main story, Yuuka's family was pushing for her to become the next head of the Yotsuba, but they stopped doing so. They know Yuuka is unable to beat Shiba Miyuki in magical ability. Since then, they're all supporting Shiba Miyuki to become Maya's successor.
During her time as Vice-President, the President of the Student Council at the time proposed the theoretical development of a magic that could replace weapons of mass destruction, but she was censored by the instructors. [5]
After the second attempt of Shiba Tatsuya, Shiba Miyuki and Sakurai Minami to go to the Yotsuba Main House which results to their car breaking down, Yuuka offers that they stay at the Tsukuba Villa for the night. The next day, Yuuka brings Tatsuya's group with her car to the Main House but is blocked by Shibata Katsushige and his guardians at the tunnel entrance to the Yotsuba Village where Yuuka forces them to show themselves with her Mandrake. After Yuuka confirms with Tatsuya that its okay to leave Katsushige to tend to his guardians after their defeat, she drives them to the main house and they proceed to their respective quarters in preparation for the New Year Family Gathering. [2]
In 2096 she was in her senior year while attending the Magic University.[3] She is a graduate student in the Magic University Graduate School as of 2097. [6]
At present, Yuuka is studying in postgraduate study in the phenomenon of deterioration of the performance of the magic calculation zone by excessive use of magic, the so-called "Overheating of Magic Calculation Area."[6]
She is a specialist, a kind of doctor when it comes to the damage of magic calculation area due to overload/overheat.[6]
Since Yuuka is a powerful Mental Interference magic user, she gets sent out on missions by the main house every now and then. She is also targeted for her genes, which have a high affinity for Mental Interference magic.[6]
Yuuka lives away from her family on the condition that she wouldn't try to become the next clan head. She lives in Tokyo.[6]
She now spends most of her time studying certain magics, and has a laboratory of her own given to her by the Yotsuba Family.
Abilities[]
Yuuka is a rare magician who specializes in Outer-Systematic Type[3] and unlike Shiba Miyuki, who specializes in a high class spells, she is more of a generalist. Yuuka was more versatile in techniques used to force others to confess secrets. [7]
Among the living members of the Yotsuba family, she is one of the two (Other one is Kuroba Fumiya) who has the highest abilities in mental interference magic. Although their skills were still inferior to their parents' generation, in terms of talent and potential, these two competed for 1st, 2nd place among the whole family.[8]
Mandrake[]

Barrier Magic[]
It is not a "physical" barrier like Phalanx, but a mental interference barrier. Yuuka can create a barrier using Ancient Magic. This type of barrier has a prolonged duration and requires very little magic power to sustain. It can be considered a boundless barrier. One of the types of barriers she can make involves interfering with an individual's sense of sight and direction. Similar to Ghost Walker. [11]
