Urotsuki (うろつき) is the protagonist of Yume 2kki.
Physical Appearance
Urotsuki wears a purple plaid shirt with what looks to be a short white skirt and red shoes. Her hair is a blonde-ish light brown, short, but with longer strands coming down from either side. From her appearance, it's likely she's in her teens, no older than 18, though arguements could be made for any age. Like Madotsuki, her eyes are always closed, but wallpapers which picture them open illustrate them as brown or red. Her sprite maintains the typical head-to-body chibi ratio of Madotsuki and many fangame protagonists like her.
Personality
Like the protagonist from the previous game, Madotsuki, Urotsuki appears to be a hikikomori, refusing to leave her room; If you interact with the door, she'll shake her head in a number of ways. Her room is noticeably larger and more furnished than Madotsuki's, consisting of a TV, a game console, and a Computer. The view from her balcony shows a pair of peculiarly shaped mountains surrounded by a large forest, suggesting she lives somewhere quite rural.
Warning. Some spoilers follow.
Unlike Madotsuki and especially Sabitsuki of .flow, Urotsuki's dreamscape has a relatively lighter atmosphere. While it does contain darker areas, the majority of them of a more neutral nature -- e.g. Geometry World, Realistic Beach, Yellow Highway, etc. In the times she or the player chooses to utilize the chainsaw effect it seems to be of Urotsuki's will to entertain fantasy and not a sort of "darker side" she must succumb to, especially given the endings, all of which either involve some aspect of the protagonist's dreaming and imagination or her choice to leave the room and disprove the idea of her hikikomori tendencies, and none of which result in her inevitable death or suicide, unlike the original game.
It should be noted, however, that while she seems to be at least somewhat mentally sound, Urotsuki may have somewhat sociopathic tendencies or a strong interest in violence. When the player encounters Aoshiru, for example, her first impulse is to use the chainsaw and kill him -- the player is not given a choice.
Possible spoilers end here.
Relationships
There is little to no information about Urotsuki and her relationships with other characters, but it seems she knows (or knew) many people due to the large amount of humanoid characters in the game.The three more popular males of the game are hidden away as if to say they are past memories or loved ones. There has been no hint of any relatives in the game.
Theories
There are multiple theories about her, such as she suffers from manic-depressive syndrome (bipolar) or another personality disorder. Different portrayals of her in the game show that it is likely she changes personalities quickly towards other beings.
Neglect
It seems that Urotsuki was neglected as a child. The fact that the Child effect is rather hard to get implies this. Another event that may prove that is the child event at the Underwater Amusement Park, where Urotsuki is shown to be alone while other people pass, and the light is focused on her. Maybe this is based on a true story, and the spotlight on Urotsuki represents her feeling closed in and lost? Another piece of evidence that may prove this is a girl similar in appearance to Urotsuki in the Christmas World: If you notice, her shirt and skirt colors are inverted. She sits on the bed in the house all alone. Her room is also bigger than Madotsuki's. Perhaps she has rich parents, but is neglected by them.
Transgender
Unlike Yume Nikki and other fangames such as .flow, there are two effects for Urotsuki that allow her to change genders (Boy and School Boy). Her haircut is much more gender-ambiguous than Madotsuki's was. Keep in mind that the only bathroom in the game is a boy's bathroom, which she can get a wallpaper from only if she uses the Boy effect. The only feminine effects she has are Maiko, Twintails and Red Riding Hood. Also, it may be noted that there are significantly more boys than girls in her dreams.
Reverse Order
What is thought to be a dream is reality, and vice versa. Urotsuki's wallpapers and TV in her "dream world" do not change, but in "reality" she gains them by interacting with certain things in her "dreams." The wallpapers in her dreams are memories from reality. In reality, she is from an odd kind of universe where death is considered sleep, and creatures come back. Reproduction is unneeded, since the world expands at select points in time. Urotsuki has some interest in morbid creatures and objects, and has strange wallpapers and dreams of suicide at a certain point, and takes close looks at disturbing things and murders (or rather, puts to sleep) other beings. The newest ending (Ending ?) also supports this theory. The ending shows Urotsuki jumping from the balcony, then a puddle of blood. The only way she could've died was if the dream world was the real one, since every other "death" simply "wakes" Urotsuki up.
