Yor is a very beautiful, graceful, and fairly tall woman in her late twenties, with a slender, curvaceous frame. She has long, straight, black hair reaching her mid-back with short bangs framing her forehead and upturned red eyes.

At home, Yor generally wears a semi-backless red off-shoulder sweater with black tights, a red skirt, and brown-heeled ankle boots. She wears a white headband and a pair of dangling gold earrings in the shape of small spikes. When going outside, Yor typically wears a long beige (sometimes looking like a pale pink) coat with black buttons over the chest. She splits her hair into two parts and crosses it over her head, securing it with a headband and forming two thick locks of hair that reach below her chest.[7]

At Berlint City Hall, Yor wears the standard work uniform. It consists of a long-sleeved white shirt with a sleeveless green vest over it, a knee-length green office skirt, and black heels.

As an assassin, Yor wears a form-fitting, halter-style black dress that shows off her shoulders and chest, with a rose choker and a red rose pattern on the inside of her skirt. The front of the skirt is mid-thigh length, while the back reaches below her knees. She also wears a pair of black thigh-high boots with a rose symbol at the bottom of their sole and black fingerless gloves. The headband Yor wears is gold-colored with a rose and two spikes on each side. Her weapons are of the same color as well. In this attire, Yor would occasionally wear red lipstick, and her hairstyle is similar to the one she wears as a civilian but in a more elaborate updo formed from braids wrapping around her head.

Yor's assassin dress was the only good dress she had before marrying Loid. When attending her co-worker Camilla's party, Yor wore the dress under a shawl, a white headband with a flower design and jewelry on its right side over her hair, and donned short black heels instead of the usual thigh-high boots. After marrying into the Forger family, she purchased more formal wear to better present herself for Eden Academy's admissions interview.[8] However, Yor still continues to wear her black dress as a cocktail attire, for example, on board Princess Lorelei.

Yor lacks social skills and initially comes across as a somewhat aloof individual, interacting minimally with her co-workers and being rather straightforward, described as robotic by Camilla. Similarly, Yor is remarkably collected and able to keep her composure during combat. She is incredibly polite, to the point of asking her assassination targets for "the honor of taking their lives." Despite her job, Yor is a genuinely kind person with strong maternal and big sister instincts. After becoming a family with Loid and Anya, Yor becomes more expressive and opens up to her co-workers, asking for help on being a better wife or cooking. On one occasion, after getting drunk with her co-workers, she is described in thought by several, including Camilla, as being "adorable" and "pure."

Yor is protective of her faux family, especially towards Anya, whom she has no trouble defending with extreme violence. By contrast, however, she appears not to be bothered in the slightest by the almost comically brutal acts of murder she commits on a regular basis. Although she seems to believe that all her targets deserve their fate, she tries to kill everyone quickly so as not to provide unnecessary torment. She has similarly little regard for her own life and noted at least once that if someone managed to kill her on a job, she would view it as entirely fair.

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 when she considered killing everyone at Camilla's party after the latter threatened to tell Yuri that she came without a date and imagined herself assassinating the parent of an Eden Academy applicant to ensure Anya has a spot in the school. She also briefly considered killing Fiona Frost when she believed her to be competition for her role as the family's mother and Loid's romantic affections. She is, however, well aware that these thoughts are not to be acted upon and is always seen chiding herself for having them afterward. She appears to have a deep aesthetic appreciation of bladed implements and was seen to be captivated at one point by a painting of a guillotine, and at another by a table knife.

Somewhat counterintuitively, Yor is extremely gullible and naive. Despite her professional competence, Yor has a startling lack of common sense and is rather clueless when it comes to nearly all situations outside her assassin work. For instance, she once asked if boogers made coffee taste better in response to Millie's suggestion that they put one in their superior's coffee. Yor's first instinct with regard to solving everyday problems is seemingly to apply her assassin's skills and mindset to those problems. When that approach invariably fails, she is often left floundering, and this gives the impression of her being comically airheaded. For example, she once answered a question from Loid about Anya passing an exam by talking about causes of death, apparently confusing passing a school exam with passing away. At another point, Loid mentioned to Anya that dogs do not discern consonants well, and Yor somehow misinterpreted it as him saying that dogs do not discern between causes of death well. She then immediately proceeded to have a daydream about threatening Bond with various forms of death that he refused to choose between. What little common sense she does have disappears almost entirely under the influence of alcohol.

As was previously alluded to, Yor is prone to having nonsensical flights of fancy, a tendency that appears to be significantly exacerbated when she is intoxicated. For instance, once after becoming drunk at a dinner with some of her female co-workers, they joked to her that wanting to kill one's husband over essentially nothing was normal. So, in an effort to appear normal, she picked up a table knife and strode to the restaurant door, all while having a daydream about asking the Shopkeeper for permission to kill Loid "for the sake of preserving her marriage." She then imagined herself facing off against Loid and telling him: "As a normal person, I need to murder you so that nobody discovers I'm really a killer," then proceeded to enter a bloody fight with him.

However, she snapped back to reality after being stopped at the door by a waiter who told her that leaving with the cutlery was not allowed, at which point she rushed back to the table and tearfully proclaimed that she could not go through with it because killing was wrong. Her rather bemused friends ultimately believed that she had been simply going along with their joke, leaving Yor even more distressed about not seeming normal than before. During that same instance, she also strongly considered revealing that she was an assassin because she drunkenly thought, due to her co-workers' joking, that people normally turned into killers after marriage and that she was only unusual in that she had been a killer beforehand.

Her hyperfocus on her profession and lack of social skills have left her entirely clueless when it comes to romance. This is usually unimportant as romantic interactions between her and Loid are effectively non-existent; neither seems to have any genuine romantic inclinations towards the other. However, in the few instances where any sort of romantic intimacy between the two is even hinted at, Yor becomes extremely flustered and embarrassed. In one instance, when it seemed that she and Loid would have to kiss in front of Yuri to confirm that they were a genuinely loving couple, Yor had to down an entire bottle of wine to disinhibit herself enough to even attempt it. However, the wine only exacerbated her feelings of embarrassment, and she ended up semi-accidentally slapping Yuri across her living room twice in the span of as many minutes.On that note, Yor being drunk in situations in which she thinks that anything romantic is likely to occur never ends well. On one occasion, when Loid flirted with her in an attempt to deepen his cover, she became so flustered that she kicked him clear across a restaurant. During another such occasion, she incorrectly believed that she and Loid would share a welcome-home kiss after her co-workers suggested it during a dinner together. Extremely embarrassed at the thought of being kissed, her first instinct was to attack him, but she dimly remembered the aforementioned situation in which she previously injured him. Not wanting a repeat incident, she opted instead to fling herself violently to the floor while profusely apologizing to Loid for "being weird."

Yor is shown to be insecure about herself and her domestic abilities, believing she is not good at anything apart from killing or cleaning, and she constantly worries that she is not a good wife or mother as a result. These insecurities are exacerbated by the fact that Loid is so diligent and skilled that he takes care of all their household tasks almost incidentally. By the time Yor has even thought of some particular task that might need doing, odds are that Loid has already taken care of it and then some. This often leaves Yor feeling as though she contributes very little to their family arrangement. Due to being painfully aware that Loid's general life skills are vastly superior to her own, she feels as though asking to take on more household tasks would be both silly and counterproductive, leading her to simply try to pitch in where she can. As Anya once rather aptly described her: "She's strong but fails at everything else."[10]

However, her insecurities regarding Anya at least have largely been put to rest by Loid. During an evening out, he affirmed to her that her parenting skills, honed over many years of caring for her brother, were far more important to him than her domestic skills or lack thereof. Loid further noted how much he valued her ability to make Anya feel safe and her dedication to keeping Anya out of trouble. As such, he requested that she continue in her current role indefinitely, a proposal to which she happily acquiesced. In spite of her domestic ineptitude, she is determined to learn how to care for a household due to her desire to share Loid's exceedingly heavy workload and to be a better mother to Anya.

Immense Strength: Despite her slim frame, Yor possesses monstrously superhuman physical abilities. Her punches[11] and kicks are strong enough to generate mild but noticeable air currents. She is capable of easily piercing human skulls with her weapons and of throwing them hard enough to break through a wooden door and impale someone on the other side. A thrust from one of her hands was once seen to destroy a pumpkin and shatter the knife of an assassin after countering his attack. She possesses a grip strong enough to help her climb up sheer walls[12] and break a proportion of a swordman's blade.[1] She is also able to knock out a fellow assassin by throwing a mere button at his neck.[13] While attempting a strength-tester game, Yor destroyed the machine with a one-handed swing.[14] Even Yor's dodgeball throws were able to fall trees.[11]

Yor also has enough leg strength to jump an entire floor while carrying a woman and her child. Her kicks can move speeding cars, throw grown men into ceilings, push a metal crate near her size across the floor, and serve as her preferred method of close combat to devastating effect. They were powerful enough to knock out Loid when she reflexively kicked him in the chin, something that had not happened to him since his spy training days.

Yor has difficulty controlling this strength, however, especially when pretending to appear as a normal civilian. While taking cooking lessons from Camilla, Yor accidentally sliced up the cutting board she was chopping vegetables on.[15] During a tennis match against Fiona, she accidentally diced a tennis ball after swinging her racket too hard. While she held back her strength on her next serve, it was still so powerful that Frost, a WISE agent with considerable strength, could barely hold back the ball until her racket snapped, after which the ball struck a tree and left an impact. Frost claimed the ball would have been sent flying a mile away if she had not tried to hit it.[16] While playing volleyball, Yor had to hold back her strength to try playing on even grounds with everyone, to varied success.[17] Two accidental slaps from a drunk Yor were enough to cause Yuri to bleed excessively to the point that some passersby were concerned and recommended that he should go to the hospital. By her admission, she had accidentally broken two of Yuri's ribs from a hug when she was in her teens.

It should be noted, however, that it is difficult to determine the exact parameters of Yor's strength, as oftentimes, her feats are played for laughs and include physics-defying aspects. Additionally, other characters sometimes perform superhuman feats of strength or speed without the sort of consistency that Yor demonstrates, generally in a comedic manner. In more dramatic situations, her capabilities tend to be reigned in to a significant degree. However, the levels of strength that she demonstrates in serious scenes are still undeniably superhuman.

Immense Speed and Reflexes: Yor is imperceptibly fast and agile. Despite moving in heels, she can jump and land from tall heights, effortlessly knocking out a raging cow, and move fast enough to intercept and kill another assassin who was fast enough to evade Matthew McMahon's bullets. She has also performed several parkour maneuvers while traveling to Eden Academy,[12]She also has remarkably quick reflexes, being able to intercept a falling tray of hot food with just a motion of her leg, catch a falling flowerpot with one of her legs before tossing it back to its window with a gymnastic stunt[12], and dodge rifle fire. Perhaps most emblematic of this was an instance where she dodged a pair of garden shears thrust at her head by another highly trained assassin and her mentor, the Shopkeeper, despite having been distracted beforehand. She was also able to dodge Sickle-and-Chain Barnaby's blade, being only able to detect his bloodlust at the last minute. Yor's level of coordination is also impressive, capable of forming a sitting position without actually resting on the chair (due to the injury she sustained in her glutes) and catching multiple falling packages with her hands and feet and the previously mentioned tray of hot food, only spilling a few drops.

Yor is fast enough on foot to outrun a car, as she ran past Melinda Desmond's car on the way to pick up Anya after the bus hijacking. How fast the car was going is, however, unknown, and she has been outrun by Bond on at least one occasion.

Master Hand-to-Hand Combatant: Befitting her position as an assassin, Yor is highly trained in hand-to-hand combat, typically relying primarily on kicks when not using her trademark stilettos. Her skills are so great that she was able to keep Twilight, WISE's top spy and one of its most skilled combatants, on the defensive, despite Yor being heavily intoxicated at the time. It should be noted, however, that Loid was not trying to fight back and stayed defensive so as not to harm her. Similarly, she has shown the ability to effortlessly dispatch both untrained thugs and even fellow assassins purely with her bare hands.

Cleaning: Having to clean up the aftermath of her assassinations left Yor with near-unrivaled cleaning skills, which she uses to keep the Forger home spotless.Immense Durability and Stamina: Yor can withstand a gunshot wound to her glutes and move well enough to arrive home after treating it, though this feat caused her considerable pain and left her in a bad mood. During her mission to protect Olka Gretcher and her son on Princess Lorelei, she was able to kill over 22 assassins nonstop, coming away with only a jammed finger, a chest wound, and some swelling on her face. While rushing Becky Blackbell to the hospital after falsely assuming she was intoxicated, Yor was struck in the side by a car. Despite being sent rolling, Yor got up, caught Becky, and continued running with little issue, save for minor bleeding on her face.

Yor is highly resistant to poison. She drank a cocktail laced with the body fluids of a pufferfish, a family of fish that contains a neurotoxin that is lethal in micrograms. Her only symptoms after ingesting the cocktail were a tingling sensation and an inhibited sense of pain which helped relieve her gunshot wound.[19] During the fight with the assassin army on the cruise ship, she withstood inhaling a poison gas capable of taking down a bear.

Weapons: When in combat, Yor uses at least three golden stiletto-type weapons.[24] She wields two of them in hand with the third one being hidden in her dress.[25] They have a handle with a thin, circular loop at the butt and a long, conical point designed for stabbing and thrusting. She has yet to be seen using them outside of her assassin work. Yor uses them to stab into an opponent's head or arteries, though she has demonstrated the ability to throw them with great speed and force. These weapons are a reference to the thorns of a wild rose.[26] If needed, she can use her earrings as a projectile.[27]

Intimidation: Though unintentional in some cases, Yor has struck great fear into people on numerous occasions, even upon animals such as cats[21] and trained dogs[22], usually with frightening faces. She was also able to intimidate a fellow assassin, Sickle-and-Chain Barnaby, making him freeze out of fear at the near conclusion of his fight against the Thorn Princess.[23]
