Character
General
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
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.
Disposition
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.
Background
A Life of Wonder
Raised within a large family, Yuki was quick to learn of the basic household care. While she was never an excellent cook, she knew how to take care of her siblings. Of course, most of her siblings were actually by adoption rather than blood but this never passed a thought within her mind; They were her family and that is what mattered to her, all under the same name, 'Kurenai'. There was, however, one child she was related to by blood, her twin brother. Both shared chocolate colored hair within similar styles of medium length and bright, curious orbs of crystal blue that would make one think of the ocean on a clear, sunny day. The large family was raised by two women; A Roegyden Seawolf and a Hyur Midlander. Yet she learned that most of the community was to be considered their family as well, having 'relatives' where ever she turned.
Growing up in Doma, she learned different things such as crafting of metals, which the Kurenai Family was known for. Armor, weapons, tools, you name it and they could make it. One of Yuki's fondest earliest memories was the smell of iron and brimstone. Quite lives were lead and she lived a rather nice one within a community where people knew one another and kept their bonds strong. Not only did she learn metal crafting but also how to use some weapons like bows and daggers.
However, there were times within her life where she knew the difficulties of her quiet community. Beneath the Garlean Empire, she was told to not question the members of the Empire. The community didn't seem to be too fond of the Garleans but they went about their day, following whatever command was needed to be given. They didn't see much of a reason to fight them, not yet at least.
There were groups of unknown people that would travel across the land, taking out different members of the Garlean Empire by assassinations and ambushes within their travels. She would come to idolize them and trained in secret, at least as well as she could with what little knowledge she was able to obtain of them.
An early memory; Her fist encounter with the Wolf
The earliest memory Yuki holds is one of confusion yet comfort and the day she came to find her family. She awoken within lands and hills, covered in a blanket of white powder. She wasn't sure where she was, how she got there or even what rested upon the lands. There was something crimson around her as she rested on her hands and knees within her fur coat and gloves. She was lost in a daze, even when a strange figure approached her.
She wasn't sure if the figure was man or beast. He walked on two legs but there was something off about the being. Even she was able to sense that. With the moon shining behind him, she couldn't see his features or even what he wore. Just a large black mass who shifted towards her. She tried to crawl away from the man, searching for whatever words might form but they sounded like mutters of gibberish and felt like her energy was leaving her, her vision growing blurry. Within the moonlight's gleam, she saw the figure give an eerie smile, shadows extending from the already shadowy being, looking like two long arms which he held over his head. A hiss slithered past the man, eyes giving off a chilling violet hue, and sounds like an eerie chuckle of some sort. The being charged forward, opening his mouth wide when...
A person, possibly a few years older than her, stuck a hand outward and grasped the man's head. At first, the figure seemed confused before the young girl saw a mist travel from the figure and into the man's hand, the figure letting out an unforgettable cry of pain. He wiggled and writhed in pain but soon fell motionless to the ground, laying on his side. The man, who had possibly saved her life, turned towards her and extended his other hand towards her.
Even at a young age, she was captured by his eyes which glowed like two pools of gold and when being compared to the moon, shined even brighter. She took his hand gently, the man pulling her forward and she fell into his grasp, closing her eyes. She remained close and felt like she was being picked up and carried off, leaving the now presumed deceased unknown figure.
The trip to Aleport and a New Life
As the years past, she still searching for the man who saved her years ago after he took her to a place to be taken care of and soon adopted by the home owner. The man remained for a few days, wandering the village with the little girl and her new parents, asking the others if they knew of who she was but none could recall.
The man, she remembered, remained wrapped up and all that could be seen was his sun-kissed skin and golden eyes that were striking to anyone who gazed upon them. He obtained a lot of attention from the women, both young and old, within the community. Even from Yuki's siblings and, sometimes, Yuki herself. When she awoken one day, after the man remained there for a few days, she was crestfallen when she saw that he was gone yet there was a box left for her, obtaining a necklace with a violet gem in the middle. It said on a small scrap of paper addressed to Yuki, "I'll always be here." And she wore it everyday.
Yet it was after the Calamity, news traveling quickly around the village that the Garlean's grip was loosening and some thought it might be the perfect time to escape to somewhere else, her family being one of them. Others were leaving before her own family, deciding to wait a bit of it out. She remembered the day so clearly yet wish she didn't. She was down by the shore, trying to catch some fish. While she was good at multiple things, fishing wasn't her area of expertise yet she would continue to try. She was thinking about how good the fish would taste when she got home. Yet when she turned away empty handed, she thought she would purchase some fish from a man who was known for always obtaining the perfect catch. But the closer she got to the village, the stronger the smell of something burning came past her nose and she broke out into a sprint as she felt danger creep within her.
When she came to her village, everything was set aflame. She didn't smell anything that could have possibly been flesh but, to her dismay, she found a few of her scattered 'family' members across the ground. She couldn't see well through the smoke and her eyes stung with tears as she coughed into her hand. She cried out for her brothers, her sisters, her parents, anyone but no one answered back. Blood scattered across the bodies along with burnt clothing. She tried to reach out for some of them but the fire made her jolt back. She wanted to at least give them a proper burial but something else was giving off the feeling of more danger.
When she managed to get home, after continuously tripping, she paused, seeing figures of black mass. She instantly remembered, if only for a brief moment, the figure within her earliest memory. They turned to her and wasted not a second in attacking. At least, this way, she could be with her family whom she thought had passed but something moved passed her. She wasn't sure if it was a gust of wind or an attack. She was preparing herself to feel the sharp pain of some type of weapon yet nothing came. When she looked to the figures that were once approaching her, they were resting upon the ground and someone stood in a black cloak around them.
She watched as the cloak nearly danced with the wind and the person turned towards her.
"We need to get out of here." The voice stated, sounding like a cold, husky tone and rather demanding.
"I'm not leaving without my family." She quickly stated, moving to avoid the man and closer to her home yet she was tugged back. Even though, from what she could see, the man seemed rather thin he held a strong grip and placed her over his shoulder.
"I'm taking you to a boat that will get you somewhere safe." Was all he stated yet she didn't pay attention. She was too busy kicking and calling out to her family. She noticed how the man carried her with one arm and when they approached the docks, they boarded on a boat. He quickly lead her to the bottom and rested her on the ground, beneath some hay.
She couldn't remember much after that. She was a mixture of depression, anger and confusion. She was crying, sometimes yelling at her savior in her fit of emotions, sometimes crying in his arms. He sat there and let her do what she did. She fell asleep on the boat and when she awoken, she was within a bed in an Inn room. She discovered the man placed her within a town called Aleport, the inn keeper making a comment about his 'piercing, golden gaze'. Apparently, he payed for her to stay for a week and, to keep herself busy and her mind off things, she did odd tasks around the area and soon ventured for the City-State Limsa Lominsa, if she had remaining family and the man who saved her long ago.
Combat
Even though it is not commonly seen, weapons can be found within her shop that she has made but when questioned, she simply states that they are her own. The weapons range from an axe, bow and arrows and daggers.
When one looks to Yuki on a daily life, they will see a sometimes clumsy woman when she isn't around a burning furnace or hot pokers and certainly wouldn't expect the woman to hold knowledge about using a weapon.

Relationships
Relationships
●Veroga Clades: A man whom she believes to be her savior from many years ago due to have similar sun-kissed skin and golden eyes. She enjoys being around the Elezen and seems to sometimes be a nervous wreak around him at times too. She affectionately gave him the nickname 'Kyo'.
●Akira Aridan: Although they just recently met, Yuki has worked with Akira and overjoyed to work and be around her. Skilled in different areas, Akira was one of the first people that assisted her when she was injured without even knowing her name or how she was injured. Since then, she has assisted her with Auto Mail work and doesn't seem to shy from the sights, making Yuki that much more happier. Recently, since their friendship developed more, she has grown to see Akira as a sister.
●Chika Ito: Someone she has recently met in the past few days. While Chika claims to know of her, Yuki can't remember much of Chika yet was quick to say, as nervous as it may be, that she was more than willing to start a friendship with her. So far, Yuki enjoys Chika's company, especially since their first time being around one another out in and about is when Chika snatched her up to attend a ball with her but has yet to see her since then.
●Satoru Takeshi: A man who requested to meet her due to her mechanical arts. She has created a specific weapon but aside from that, not much else. She looks up to the man, despite possibly not that much of an age difference, she still sees him as her elder and treats him with respect and hopes to create more weapon and armor for him.
●Robert Colt: A man recalls whom had a tragic accident and is repairing his left arm, which she crafted from Automail. She feels as if she can be comfortable around the man and occasionally joke.
●Vance Garan: A blacksmith that Yuki met at the Quicksand while working. She hates liked him since they met and she believes he doesn't hold a single bad bone in his body. Making it to the finals of the Golden Fist Tournament with only a hammer, Yuki believes that he can become one of the best fighters with the right training.
●Scarlet Snow: While she doesn't know much of the woman, she has seen her from time to time around Robert and tries to strike a friendly conversation with her when she can.
●T'shina Vashka: Only being known as a kind, but sometimes a bit naive as Yuki herself within certain situations, or at least Yuki likes to think, voice through a link pearl. She hopes to meet her in person sometime but is still content simply hearing her through the link pearl, making her look even more to the event.
●Fah'ren Tolesa: The first encounter she held with this metal working Miqo'te was a pleasant one. She met him at the Starlight ball and realized the soon shared similar interests. She works as his helping hand within the field of metal working on occasion when he is busy.
●Blazerro Draken: Another Miqo'te man she recently met through Fah'ren. While she doesn't know much about him, she sees no reason to view him as a hostile threat, thus she is friendly with him. She assists Fah'ren when it comes to fixing and adjusting his Automail arm.
●Garrett Sancsaron: Without skipping a beat or taking a second though, Yuki immediately became interested with Garrett when a specific topic came up while she was entering the Hold. She is a bit confused by him for now and knows he is shrouded in mystery but finds it more fun to get to know him baring those factors in mind.
●Renard Walker: A sparatic, high energy flirt Yuki met while stargazing within the Mists. She doesn't know what to think of the man so far but doesn't see him to be a threat yet.
