Juri fights purely for the thrill of the battle; unlike Ryu, who seeks meaning, her drive is much more vengeful, selfish and ruthless, as she's extremely sadistic, liking to inflict pain on her foes, and she's also extremely hot-tempered, as she can easily lose her temper when she is struck back in retaliation or without warning. Juri loves combat to the point where she becomes irritated when it is denied to her like when Rashid refused to fight her seriously, Juri scathingly replied that "he could just die" if that was the case. She displays several traits of a femme fatale, as she makes provocative and suggestive remarks toward her enemies, as well seen in her win quotes; she is also very cunning, as she is not above leaving her partners to further her own agenda. Juri's love for spiders is actually paralleled to how she fights. Most of her attacks involve trapping the opponent around her legs, but at the same time not letting them escape her grasp. In SF6, when both fighters are walking out before battle, Juri's gaze is focused on her opponent like a predator analyzing its prey. Spiders immobilize prey so they can't escape, and, like spiders, Juri loves to follow that strategy.
