Profile[]
Appearance[]
Yusufa is shown to wears a blue dancer outfit with a decorated short crop top and a high slit skirt that leaves much of her bare skin showing. On her feet are brown sandals, just like Primrose and the other dancers. She is also shown to have short blue hair that reaches to her chin, along with wearing a decorated necklace as well.
Personality[]
Yusufa is normally kind, but when seeing an injustice she is shown to stand up to people. She is also shown to be friendly, as she managed to befriend Primrose, a cold and closed-off girl who was constantly ostracized by the other dancers. Although the two were not extremely close, in her dying moments Yusufu revealed how much Primrose's support meant to her.
Story[]
When she was a child, Yusufa was sold to Helgenish in Sunshade, presumably by her parents. Upon arrival, Yusufa felt lonely and excluded, as everyone else was "cruel" and "miserable". However, she eventually found strength due to Primrose and her strong demeanour.
During the events of Octopath Traveler, Yusufa is shown to be the only dancer who likes Primrose. She stands up for Primrose when she is mocked by the other dancers. Later, when Primrose identifies one of the three men who killed her father, Yusufa helps Primrose pursue him by distracting Helgenish. However, as a result of this, she is captured by Helgenish and murdered in front of Primrose. As she is dying, Yusufa recalls her history to Primrose and asks her if she considers her a friend. Yusufa dies happy after Primrose confirms that Yusufa is indeed her friend. Following this, Primrose finally turns on Helgenish and duels him, eventually slitting his throat.

Etymology[]
"Yusufa" is a female version of "Yusuf," a name derived from Arabic (يوسف) meaning "God increases." Yusuf is the Arabic equivalent of the Hebrew name "Yosef" and the English name "Joseph," a Biblical figure who was betrayed by his brothers and sold into slavery when he was a child.
