Yor Forger (ヨル・フォージャー, Yoru Fōjā?), née Briar (ブライア, Buraia?) is the tritagonist of the SPY x FAMILY series. While she works as an ordinary clerk at Berlint City Hall, she also leads a secret life as a Garden assassin with the code name "Thorn Princess" (〈いばら姫〉, <Ibara-hime>?).
She and Loid Forger get married to fulfill their separate goals, with the former becoming the adoptive mother of Anya Forger.
Appearance[]
Yor Forger is a beautiful young woman with light skin, black hair, and reddish eyes. Her hair has a headband and is split into two-part ways which crosses over her head. She has a pair of dangling earrings. She usually wears a red sweater that exposes her shoulders and back along with a red skirt. Her lower body outfit consists of black leggings and a pair of brown ankle boots.
As the Thorn Princess, Yor dons a black dress that has a red rose pattern underneath along with a pair of fingerless gloves and black thigh boots. Her gold-colored headband contains a golden rose and two long horns on each side.
Personality[]
Yor is rather shy and introverted, coming across as a somewhat aloof individual, interacting minimally with her coworkers and being described by Camilla as a robot. Similarly, Yor is remarkably collected, able to keep her composure in the midst of combat. She is incredibly polite to the point of asking her assassination targets if she may take their lives. After becoming a family with Loid and Anya, Yor becomes more expressive and opens up to her coworkers, asking for help on being a better wife or cooking. She is protective of her faux family, especially towards Anya whom she has no trouble defending with extreme violence.
Due to spending most of her life as an assassin, Yor's ways of thinking are often highly deviant. She is frequently inclined to solve problems through murder, such as imagining killing everyone at Camilla's party after the latter threatens to tell Yor's brother that she came without a date in order to prevent him from knowing. She also daydreams about assassinating the parent of an Eden Academy applicant, so Anya is ensured a place. To this extent, she has an affinity towards weapons, being captivated by a painting of a guillotine and a table knife.
Despite her job, Yor is a genuinely kind person, with a strong maternal and big sister instinct. She's very protective of her adopted family and her younger brother. Indeed, she became an assassin to provide for her younger brother when they became orphans, and now her goal is to kill evil and vile people to make innocents' lives better.
In a complete idiosyncrasy, Yor is extremely gullible, being easily fooled by the ridiculous lies Loid tells her to hide his identity. Yor has a startling lack of common sense, asking Camilla if boogers made coffee taste better in response to her suggestion that they put one in their superior's coffee. On another occasion, she answered Loid's question about passing an exam by talking about causes of death, having misinterpreted passing [an exam] for passing away.
Yor is shown to be insecure about herself and her abilities, believing she is not good at anything apart from killing or cleaning, and she constantly worries that she's not being a good wife or mother. After the interview at Eden Academy, she tries to be more of a normal mother to Anya by trying to cook and asking Camilla for cooking lessons.
Relationships[]
Yuri Briar[]
Yuri is the younger brother of Yor and her only remaining family member alive after their parents died at an early age. As a result, she took on a parental role for her brother when she was young, taking assassination jobs to provide for him and cooking meals. When Yuri became sick with a fever, Yor went into the forest to pick herbs for him, getting stung by bees and killing a boar.
When Yuri was a child, Yuri told Yor he wanted to marry her when he grew older, and Yor jokingly said she would save herself for then.
Loid Forger[]
Loid Forger is Yor's fake, although legal, husband. The two of them agree to get married as it benefits both of them in the long run while keeping the actual reasons from each other. Although married, they do not share a room or bed unless they have guests over, to which they share a room for appearances only. When tasked with raising Anya, Yor advises Loid on the matter, for which he is always thankful.
When Yor introduces him to Yuri, he is wary of the nature of their relationship. After Yuri's visit, Yor starts developing lingering insecurities about not being a good wife for Loid, moping for a whole day until Loid encouraged her. This insecurity reoccurs, as Yor feels incompetent as a wife and mother.
Upon meeting Fiona Frost, Loid's coworker (and fellow WISE agent), Yor overthinks Fiona and Loid's relationship and is distraught at the thought of losing her role to Fiona. When the pair go out for drinks, a drunk Yor vents her feelings to Loid, causing him to suspect that she harbors a genuine romantic interest in him. However, as Loid tried to seduce her, a flustered Yor responded by kicking him upside his chin and knocking him out. When he awoke, he reassured Yor that she was already a strong and incredible mother and would not be replacing her.
Yor's feelings for Loid appear to develop further as she grows fond of her new family and home. In instances where Anya would say the two are flirting or when Yuri makes the two do romantic things, Yor quickly gets flustered. Loid, along with Anya and Bond, are now part of her reason to remain in her assassination job, to protect their peaceful life.
Anya Forger[]
Yor believes Anya is Loid's biological child from his first marriage and that his late wife's dying wish was for her to go to a good school. Yor is significantly more encouraging and patient with Anya than Loid, who often expresses exasperation or impatience at Anya, especially concerning her academic abilities. Yor often advise Anya, though due to a variety of factors (e.g., Anya failing to understand), it rarely works.
Yor has strong maternal instincts towards Anya, likely stemming from her raising Yuri when he was a child and gets extremely sad when Anya insults her cooking. This motherly behavior makes Yor extremely protective over Anya, as she tends to violently, and sometimes excessively, deal with anyone antagonizing the child. As part of her maternal behavior, she scolds Anya when needed, such as when Anya runs away. In return, Anya is also protective of Yor, willing to put herself in harm's way to save a cornered Yor.
