I have never seen that "Winter's Tale" before, though the source image from that has been posted before. But I will agree, that Yuki does get some pretty beautiful artwork. That one in particular is indeed one of my favorites.

Interestingly, "Nagato" shares the same name as a prominent Imperial Japanese battleship, and its kanji also means somewhere along the lines of "leader" and "gate," oddly enough. So... "Leader's Gate" or "Leader's Gateway"? Something like that. At least, that's what I've been able to find out... I'm by no means an expert on kanji and certain Japanese names.

Interestingly, Yuki Nagato might be also be a pun off of Rei Ayanami's name from Evangelion. The Nagato and the Ayanami are both Japanese battleships, and Yuki means "Snow" (though, her spelling is different from that) and Rei means "Ice"... I wouldn't be surprised if that's where Yuki's name came from in the first place.

Bah, technicalities... This is what I get for choosing a seemingly harmless, yet poor choice of words. They were both warships in the Imperial Japanese Navy then. How's that? In any case, Rei Ayanami and Yuki Nagato's names make quite the coincidence, wouldn't you say? At least that's where I'd think Yuki's name came from...
However, I think that this discussion regarding Yuki's name's origins has gone on long enough. Let's get back to images, shall we? Here's some random Yuki... Spoiler for Yuki, Alt Yuki, and Yuki-chan:
Spoiler for Yuki is a Guitar Hero:
Spoiler for Yuki likes those bunny headsets, doesn't she?:
Spoiler for Metal Gear Yuki:
Spoiler for Yuki in a Kimono:
Spoiler for Slightly NSFW:
That should get us all back on track here... Sorry, I tried looking for original images that haven't been posted, but chances are, all of these images probably popped up at one moment or another...
