A first year student and the sole member of the Literature club, Yuki was conscripted by Haruhi into the SOS-dan (S.O.S. Brigade) and, to this day, is its only reason to 'justify' why they're using that room. At first, she came off as another offspring of the large Ayanami Rei gene pool - monotonic voice, aloof, near-expressionless, and one of few words. She is also seemingly a stereotypical bookworm, wearing glasses and always reading a forebodingly thick book. Such is her desire to read that she had to be dragged away from the public library when Kyon (male lead and Narrator) took her there to kill time during one of the many (mis)adventures of the SOS-dan.
Later, she reveals to Kyon that she is a "humanoid interface" from the "Integrated Data Sentient Entity" (IDSE) and explains to him that her mission is to observe Suzumiya Haruhi, who they view as the answer to their problems - their evolutionary dead-end. 'Data' to them isn't what we're used to thinking of. All matter and energy is Information to this entity - something that can be manipulated as we would manipulate data with a keyboard and mouse. You could say this alien faction is more like a godlike entity that has transcended physical limitation. While not the omnipotence that Haruhi's subconscious whims have, the IDSE comes close, and Yuki is an 'interpreter' to this deity-like existence... or rather... 'priestess' would be more accurate. Kyon didn't know what to think of this quiet girl suddenly talking about things which, to any layman, would seem like something out of a sci-fi flick. The truth was revealed to him when he was almost killed by another IDSE interface who followed a different sub-faction's ideals. Yuki saved him by eliminating the rogue interface ('disconnecting her' to be precise). At Kyon's behest, she didn't reconstruct the glasses that broke in the fight - marking the start of their 'working relationship'.
When the SOS-dan is faced with one of Haruhi's many outrageous demands or find themselves in a supernatural situation (always in Haruhi's absence), the first person Kyon turns to is Yuki. If Itsuki (the representative of the underground esper faction) isn't in control, Yuki delivers the required 'data manipulation' (read: 'invoke hax') to solve the case or to save everyone's lives from some unexpected danger Haruhi subconsciously created.
Note the anime shows episodes in a non-chronological order. By Autumn, there had been a lot of character development for Yuki (not shown in season 1 which animated Vol 6 chapters without doing Vol 4~5), best seen in the Day of Sagitarrius III episode. Around this time, Kyon begins to read Yuki's emotions. Yuki is more competitive than Haruhi, has her own desires and can pick up new hobbies. The key to reading Yuki is to be sensitive to her head moving mere millimeters and to sense the distinct 'flavour' of her stares. By this point she has more than distinguished herself from the generic Ayanami Rei archetype.
