Yuuki Kyouko

Yuuki Kyouko is the mother of Asuna. She was born to a middle class family with a forest-like home, a traditional Japanese home. As she grew up, she resented her status, and she wished that she was born to an upper-class family. After Asuna was born, she wanted her daughter to have the chance to grow up rich, a chance she did not have. It is noted that, according to Asuna, Sugou Nobuyuki was chosen by Kyouko to be Asuna's fiance. However, Kyouko denies the fact that she made such a fatal mistake and pins the blame on her husband.

Yuuki Kyouko does not understand the fascination of the virtual world Asuna plays. Instead, she thinks of it as a waste of time and wants Asuna to drop out of the school for the trapped victims of Sword Art Online. The elder Yuuki instead wants to hire a tutor to teach her so that she could go to a better college. She thinks that the current school is unqualified to send her to the mother's goal. Kyouko wants the best for her daughter and not have the life she had before; as a result she wants Asuna to marry a person with a strong financial background and to not have a relationship with Kirito, despite Asuna's protests. However, Asuna persuades her to put on AmuSphere to see what the younger's world actually look like. When she wakes up on the other side, she realizes that her chosen destination looked like her childhood home. This brings sad nostalgic memories to her and her heart melts, telling Asuna that she must work hard to get the husband she wants. Asuna readily agrees to her mother's proposal.
