GENERAL INFORMATION

With her petite form and naivety, some wonder how Yuki [Pronounced Yu-KEY] managed to live for this long. Even though she seems like a rather open person, there are still a number of things that remain unknown about the woman such as if she holds any living family members, how she came Limsa Lominsa and if she holds any other professions aside from ones that are commonly known, due to having questionable attire and, seen on rare occasions, markings.

APPEARANCE

Due to a recent meeting, Yuki has obtained a wrap around her throat and barely speaks for the time being. As to why or what remains hidden under the wrap remains a mystery to most.

With chocolate colored hair cut in a medium length hairstyle and parts of it falling over her shoulders from the back, bangs side swept to partially cover her right crystal blue orb and holding a petite, slender figure with an ivory skin tone similar to one of a porcelain doll, it's hard not to believe she isn't a midlander woman who hails from Doma. While her looks might be a rare one, she doesn't see herself to be high in the department of beauty compared to other women she has seen.

Yuki isn't one to wear make up, quick to swap out eyeliner and make up brushes for grease and a screw driver. However, she can be seen wearing a few pieces of jewelry; A silver band with a single emerald forged within, a beaten leather collar and silver band which wraps around her neck with a purple gem.

The clothing she wears ranges within color but usually remaining in the same department and items such as a hempen top, kecks made of different material and boots is what she commonly wears, feeling most comfortable in the choice of clothing. She does wear skirts on the occasion but usually with a longer type of top, not use to showing much skin. A common item seen is goggles that usually hang around her neck or on top of her head, used as a hair band.

Aspects That Stand Out:

■ Born and raised in Doma, she strangely has natural crimson hair, something that is rather uncommon but not impossible.

■ She possesses quick reflexes but is highly clumsy.

■ Around her neck, usually there is some sort of cloth wrapping, being used to conceal something..

■ Her eye color are two different shades, one being darker than the other.

PERSONALITY

(WIP)

Yuki is generally a cheerful caring and a rather comedic girl with her beloved smile yet perhaps a bit clumsy at times. She tries to look at the brighter side of things and keep those around her in good spirits, especially her friends, whom mean much to her. While she has only a few close friends, she tries to place their safety, goals and needs before her own. With crystal blue orbs, the left being a few shades darker then the right, keeping from behind her bangs and slender brows, and a smile to help calm others, some may find it hard to remember why they were angry before.

Of course, just like anyone else, she holds her own type of fears and problems but when questioned, she will brush it off and give the person questioning a soft smile. She is one to fight her battles on her own and doesn't like to depend on others, trying to avoid causing them issues even further.

As kind as she is to her friends, she isn't a force to be reckoned with. While it is unknown how skillful she is with weapons so far, she has been seen wielding a bow and throwing knives which rest in a side satchel on her hip. The few times others have seen, they will state that for a clumsy woman, within the heat of the battle, she can be quite graceful and fluid in her movement yet none speak of her skills with her weapons.

While she does wish to remain with her metal works, others will state that she holds quite a singing voice and a keen eye for weapon crafting. She can even be seen tinkering with random items.

L I K E S ■ Weapons. Being a large fan of creating and learning about, Yuki enjoys weapons of all types but mainly unique axes, daggers and swords. ■ Food. Food.. Food! Yuki is a big fan on eating, both things she has had before and new. If you ever need someone to taste test, just ask Yuki! ■ Sweet Drinks. Be it liqoured or not, she enjoys any sort of sweet drink. The sweeter, the better!	D I S L I K E S ■ Arguing. While it is normal, something Yuki despises is when she is around arguing, especially with her friends however she can be caught doing it often with Ren Tatewaki. ■ Bright, Bright Pink. Not much of a girly girl, Yuki has always detested the dreadful color when it is extremely bright. ■ Death And Accepting Loss. Something she still struggles with now, it is hard for her to accept when a loved one is gone from death or even leaving, this still being clear with the loss of her old teacher, Azeiox Venmortis.	H O B B I E S ■ Creation of Weapons and Tinkering. A favored past time, Yuki loves to create new things, especially weapons. But watch out! She might try to take something apart to learn how it is built! Especially with Cotota Khal, the two can be a dangerous duo for explosions! ■ Training. Too much training is not something Yuki believes in and can be commonly found training. ■ Singing. While as of lately, it has become a bit more well known that Yuki enjoys singing and has made a job of entertaining with her voice.
S T R E N G T H S ■ Quick Learning. When actually understanding the subject, she can be quite a quick learner. ■ Patience. After dealing with multiple siblings, Yuki has gained much patience over time which has proved to come in handy. ■ Determination. Yuki is a highly determined, and sometimes stubborn, person. She doesn't like to give up even after the odds are against her.	W E A K N E S S E S ■ Reading and Writing in Eorzean. While being able to speak it, for the most part, Yuki lacks the ability to read and write in Eorzean. On occasion, she will mess up sayings as well, such as 'Cat got your tongue' and saying 'Dog' instead. ■ Clumsy. Yuki is very accident prone when not in the correct mindset. ■ Selfless. While not fully a weakness, Yuki will push herself for the sake of others even if it means harming herself in the process on accident.	M O T I V A T I O N S ■ The Fall Of Doma. While a highly tragic event for all Domans, Yuki has vowed to keep her honor as a Doman and, for the sake of her village, better herself. ■ Friendship and Family. Understanding that everyone comes from different walks of life, she can see a friend in almost anyone and is willing to stand by their side, believing it not only betters herself but others as well. ■ Hidden Past. Lacking a memory prior to age five, Yuki is driven to learn about who she is and where she comes from.

COMBAT & WEAPONRY

While not suited for full combat, Yuki has shown some skills to holding her own within hand to hand combat and mild weapon working. However, she never full focuses on it, or so she says. Yet she still wishes to learn ways to assist not only the company but her friends around her outside of the company as well, thus why she has taken upon learning Conjury. However, it is not fully the traditional conjury learned solely in Eorzea but with a bit of a doman twist. She speaks fondly of one of her mothers, Natsu Nakahara, remembering her duties within the village. While she also taught others to respect the elements around them and take warnings within the stars, she also worked closely with spirits and the village ancestors. She was a Miko, a Shine Maiden, and assisted those within the village by her knowledge of healing with both aether and knowledge of herbs. When Yuki questioned Natsu about where she learned it, Natsu replied with "The very first practice came to us a long time ago. The Gods and Ancestors have unique ways of working. Sometimes, it is best to not question our gifts and instead use them." Since then, she has turned to learning about conjury from people within the company, outside and of course the Conjurer's Guild within Gridania.

OOC Note: While a different way, it is a path to keep Yuki from becoming a White Mage, seeing that White Mages are either wiped from existence or are NPC only characters. Little knowledge is known on how, or even if, Domans knew magic before coming to Eorzea so this is my take on it to keep the character unique but not /too/ unique but mainly, by no means will she ever become a White Mage.

FAMILY & COMPANY MEMBERS (PC) T'shina Vashka Family. (♥ ✔ ) - Leader of the Gilded Rose Character's Thoughts: "Very nice.. Or very scary?" The Leader of the Gilded Rose and a close friend to Yuki, T'shina Vashka is one of the two motherly figures within Yuki's life since coming to Eorzea. While a highly positive impact on Yuki's life, she also knows to not anger the woman. She isn't /just/ a friend after all but can be a terrifying mother as well! Kyrsaria Venmortis Family. (♥ ✔ ) - Madam Red Character's Thoughts: "She's... Madam Red. I-I mean.. Eh.. 'Mother'." A Co-Leader within the Gilded Rose, Yuki has known Madam Red for sometime and is the other mother figure in Yuki's life since coming to Eorzea. While a rather proper Ishgardian Noble, Yuki would say that Madam Red has a way of going 'over the top' to entertain others.. And she insists on Yuki calling her 'mother' from time to time. Mayu Cloudwalker Teacher. (♦ ✔ ) - Lady of Blue Character's Thoughts: "I'm surprised she has such patience with me." A Member of the company, Mayu Cloudwalker is Yuki's friend and teacher of Conjury. While she does not practice conjury solely, she has agreed to teach Yuki what she knows, which she is very thankful for. She feels lucky that she is not only a student of her past teacher, Azeiox Venmortis whom is deceased, lover but also a friend. She feels that she can turn to Mayu for practically any advice and guidance. Vahn Kasch Company Member. (♦ ✔ ) - The Fat, Sad, 'Dragon' Character's Thoughts: "Not only is he kind, when he wants to be, but he can be quite dangerous from what I've seen." Another Member of the company, it took sometime for Yuki to properly converse with Vahn Kasch but it has proven to be worth it. She views him as a big brother figure even if little is known about him. She is excited to see what she can learn from him and about! FAMILY (NPC) PRESUMED TO BE DECEASED Natsu Nakahara Adoptive Mother. ( ♥ ) - Spirit Priestess Character's Thoughts: "She accepted me without even knowing who I was." A Doman native, Natsu Nakahara was quick to bring Yuki into her home with her lover, Towering Raven. While both a mentor and a mother, Natsu has taught Yuki many things and helped made her who she is today. Towering Raven Adoptive Mother. ( ♥ ) - The Watching Eye Character's Thoughts: "She gave me the courage to be who I am, no matter the flaws." The Lover of Natsu Nakahara and a Roe who came to Othard overseas, Towering Raven is the other adopted mother of Yuki. She taught her not only to accept those around you but to also be weary of the same people.

FRIENDS (NPC) Haruhi. ( ✝ ) - Shining Star Character's Thoughts: "She was my bestfriend in Doma." One of Yuki's oldest friends, Haruhi was an orphan that was raised under Natsu and Raven's care. While she views the others they brought in as her siblings, she was always closest with Haruhi. While she was a few years older than Yuki, she never looked down upon her younger friend. She disappeared shortly before the attack on Doma. FRIENDS (PC) Ren Tatewaki. ( ♦ ✔ ) - Grumpy Savior Character's Thoughts: "He likes to treat me like I am a kid. He's.. Okay, I guess.." A Childhood friend of Yuki's, Ren Tatewaki may be the one who saved her years before yet she is not fully sure. Kyrsaria Venmortis also enjoys calling him 'Son' even thought Ren hates the idea. While they argue. Often. They seem to always have each other's back. And even though it is hard to get him to break out of his shell, she still enjoys his company... For the most part! Orrian Servais. ( ♥ ✔ ) - The Silent Character's Thoughts: "Mister Servais.. He's special." Strangely enough, the two have become friends even though they are completely opposite. Yuki has even developed feelings for the man yet it remains unreturned, causing it to simmer down into a platonic feeling. Why they are friends? That remains unknown! Aiswynd Arulaq. (♦ ✔ ) - Sensei Character's Thoughts: "I'm surprised we became such fast friends.. But I don't regret meeting him." A newly acquired friend, Aiswynd Arulaq is the thaumaturgy teacher to Yuki at the request of Madam Red. While he may not know it yet, he already has made a bit impact on her life. He is also a new member of the Gilded Rose!

OOC NOTES

OOC INFORMATION Player Note To kick it off, always remember OOC and IC do NOT blend with me! Even if my character, for whatever reason, may not get along with your own ICly, does not mean the feeling is the same OOCly! But this also means even if the characters are in a relationship, that does not mean we are OOCly as well. If you have any issues with anything stated in the profile or roleplay, please do not be afraid to approach me! I want the RP to be fun for everyone. We all play the game to enjoy the different aspects and interactions with others, right? That being said, do not be afraid and have fun! Personal RP Limits I don't have very many hardcore limits honestly as I feel consequences must be adhered to when RPing any character regardless of whom they might be. However there are a few exceptions to this and they are as follows. ■ I will play Almost anything however there are a few 'no nos' To see what they are, please check the next segment. ■ Ask about Death, rape, maiming, (MRP all together) plot-hooks and ERP. While I do not mind such things happening, with given consent, please also understand this isn't a 'target over my head' for simply that. I have to be able to trust you and also know you rather well for these subjects, mainly the first and second. The game is not all sunshine and rainbows after all. However, I also do not ERP just for the hell of it. The characters would have to build towards it with a relationship already involved and a deep one at that. If the second is something you'd want to do, understand that she does have friends and family who will come after you if they learn and I would prefer a 'fade to black' scene. ■ I won't play Anything where the above rules are not observed. Disclaimer Details. ■ If you're ever uncomfortable, do not be afraid to tell me. I have stated this before but please, do not feel like you should be afraid to tell me that you are bothered by something or wish to know something. No one is perfect and I am certainly not but I do try to make sure others are comfortable!

CHARACTER SNIPS Potential Plot Hooks While the below is by no means comprehensive, it's a kind of spring board for walk-up RP. ■ Yuki is an open Barmaid and Entertainer. She frequents the Grindstone, Runestone and can commonly be found in the Quicksand working as a waitress. She is for hire for both things! ■ She is open with her learnings of conjury and enjoys being helpful. If someone is injured and Yuki is around, do not be afraid to ask for assistance! Character Lore Adherence Information in this Wiki is Lore Compliant to the best of my knowledge. Information that has been changed to better fit with the lore of XIV will be listed below as necessary. ■ No changes required. Tropes & Explanations A trope is a convention or device that is often found in creative works. In this case, the tropes below describe the character either in part, or as a whole. Their background, personality, appearance, etc, most of them can be described in the tropes below. This section is still a work in progress.
