Sword Art Online Season 1 Recasting
Dante for Yui (Understudy)
DESCRIPTION
Yui, officially named "Yui-MHCP001" (Mental Health Counseling Program 001), is a supporting character throughout the Sword Art Online series. She is a top-down Artificial Intelligence (AI) program that was originally developed by Argus to address player mental health concerns in Sword Art Online (SAO). However, when Kayaba Akihiko turned Sword Art Online into a death game, Yui was forbidden from interfering with players whatsoever by the Cardinal System, which led to her collapsing due to being forced to monitor player mental health without being able to fulfil her duties.
PERSONALITY
Yui had become melancholic when the death game began, as she was not allowed to comfort players and was forced to continue monitoring their psychological parameters. When she finally, after nearly two years of only seeing insanity, misery, and anger, noticed a couple, expressing happiness and joy, she became overwhelmed with curiosity, which led to her ignoring the Cardinal System's command not to interact with players.

You humans are so complicated. (flies to Kirito's shoulder) Honestly, your psychology is confusing. Why do you act so horribly to each other when all you want is companionship?
(slowly and quietly) My...my name is...I think my name is...I think, uh...Yu-i. Yui. That's it. Yui.
Not to worry, I know JUST where to start! On November 9th, in Gun Gale Online, a player called “Death Gun” fired his weapon at an avatar appearing on a monitor. That same day in Nakano Ward, the player of THAT avatar mysteriously died.
