She is played by Haruka Fukuhara.
Appearance[]
Jueri has chest-length brown hair that has bangs covering the right side of her face and brown eyes.
Clothed in a long white dress, she wears various housepet tags around her neck. In the past, Jueri kept her hair in a ponytail.
Personality[]
Jueri is introduced as a sensitive and emotional person who cares a lot about pets and considers gambling not necessary within Hyakkao. Like Amane Murasame, she has a powerful presence and great leadership skills, being able to cheer other members up with her words. It is lately revealed that she doesn't care for the Village, even though it appears she wanted to save them, and in fact she idolizes Kirari and wants to be praised by her again.
Jueri is very strategic and smart and doesn't care what might happen to her as long as she manages to entertain Kirari. She even knelt in front of her and smiled maniacally while asserting her admiration for her, even considering herself an "ally" of Ryota Suzui and Yumeko Jabami as her goal was to lose the Approval Competitive Game to destroy Village in the name of Kirari.

Kakegurui Drama: Season Two[]
Jueri gambling
Jueri is second in command and in Amane Murasame's group and has been shown with various people following her. Jueri first appears at the end of the second episode. As Kyuu Nitobe is walking through the hallway, he runs into some students bullying a male housepet. Suddenly, Jueri and her group arrive at the scene; they loudly stomp their feet, interrupting the act. Kyuu hides and keeps observing with clear interest.
She later also approaches Mary Saotome and wants to recruit her, since she also clearly despises the housepet system. Mary is surprised to see that Jun Kiwatari is now also part of the Villagers. Eventually, Ryota Suzui also talks to her and expresses his wish of saving Yumeko Jabami from gambling.
Kakegurui the Movie[]
Jueri is initially shown gambling against Kirari Momobami at blackjack, but she is quickly defeated. She is very concerned about housepets where she is caring and protective of other students. However, Jueri was only pretending to be a selfless person: her only goal was to gain Kirari's approval and she worked in the Village only to sabotage it from the inside. She makes fun of Amane Murasame and actively tries to make him lose in the finals, but her plan is eventually stopped by Yumeko Jabami.
