O. B.: July 8th. ❉ H E I G H T: 142 cm (4'6"). ❉ W E I G H T: 38 kg (83.6 lbs). ❉ A P P E A R A N C E: Small in stature and expectly fragile from her aspect, Yuki is tiny girl whose size belies her age. While looking pre-teen, the young blonde is not that young, being past 18 years already. On the other hand, her long, long hair, capable of reaching her ankles if straightened, might just possibly be the only characteristic that fits her age. Additionally, her tiny, round head is adorned with a small nose, a small mouth, naturally rose cheeks and a couple of deep blue eyes. As far as clothing goes, Yuki possesses a very diverse wardrobe. But it's a pretty unique one, especially because Yuki makes most of the clothing she wears herself. A majority of those clothes aren't what one would call "comercial" or "plain", but they aren't exactly Lady Gaga flashy either. Yuki goes the extra mile to make her clothes much cuter and more elegant than the usual bunch, but without making them stand out too much. For her Weapon forms, Yuki is able to transform into two blades of different sizes, but similar aspect. One of her forms is a dual Tachi style (curved blade) katana connected together through a chain. The other is a Nodachi, typical Japanese long sword. Dual Katana: 60 cm (23½ inches) each. Nodachi: 120 cm (27 inches). All blades, in terms of format and cosmetic, are worthy of Meitou class{1}. The Blades themselves are extremely sharp and curved, as usual per Japanese standards. They each possess a Tsuka (Handle) made of blackened iron and deeply lacquered in black, with inlaid brass bamboo leaves and Japanese cotton, as is the blue Sageo (Cord) and the black Saya (Scabbard), which is decorated in gold at its end. Attached to it is a Habaki, the wedge shaped metal collar made to support the blade and make it sturdier wrapped with a pink Japanese cotton cord. The Kashira (Pommel) is made from blackened bronzed iron colored golden. They Chains connecting one Pommel to another are made in restrengthened steel with a silver coloration. The Tsuba (Hand Guard) before it is made of iron colored gold, with a circular shaped brass inserted in a rectangle, also selectively detailed in gold. {1} The "Meitou" are a rare class of katana, meitou meaning "Celebrated Sword" or "Named Sword". They are prized swords passed through generations, won in battle, or given as a gift out of respect. Meitou are superior to ordinary katana in most aspects: cutting, endurance, etc. Meitou are more expensive, due to their quality; typically handmade by renowned sword-smiths, the Meitou gain their name through battle, long existence, and even royalty.

The tiny little girl is, basically, the epitome of awkwardness and shyness. When before someone she doesn't know, Yuki will basically freeze up. Get nervous. Panic. Start speaking in Japanese. Like a wild animal of small port, Yuki must be approached slowly and calmly in order not to scare her off. It's not like she hates people, however. She rather likes them even. Just... not near herself. Even so, Yuki is but a sweet, innocent little girl from the core. She likes cute things, dressing up, colorful views, nature, etc. Like a perfect young woman, but without the social skills. On the other hand, she hates violence, dark places, scary stuff and nosy, loud people. Once someone gets through her shell of awkwardness, however, and gets to know Yuki, they'll have gained a great friend. Despite not being much, Yuki will wish for nothing but the best for her friends and she'll gladly help towards that if she can. She's been taught to be nothing but good to others, and she'll hold those ideals close in her heart. Goodness, justice and all that, Yuki deeply believes in the better side of life and that is one of the reasons she decided to attend DWMA. That being said, not even with a friend she'll be able to make small talk easily. Yuki will still be pretty fidgety and uncertain of what is right or wrong to say. She believes herself to be a boring person to be with, which makes her want to try and be better, which in turn makes her nervous all over again. But, get Yuki going on about, say, sewing, gardening or some other topic she's interested in and she won't stop, often apologizing in the end for blabbering her mouth for so long. That point brings out another issue with the young girl, her self confidence. Yuki has neither that nor self esteem. With her childhood, one might expect the little girl to be a self centered spoiled brat. However, it's quite the contrary. She was raised just right, although something about never coming in contact with anybody but her family never taught her the feeling of believing in herself. Instead, she just learned all about appreciating what others can do for you and returning the favor. All in all, Yuki is a shy, weak willed young girl with potential she'll only attain with the help of others. Much help. ❉ L I K E S: ✤ Cute things ❉ D I S L I K E S: ✴ Negative Emotions ❉ F I G H T - S T Y L E: Yuki does not fight, period. More than just unwillingness to fight, she simply can't fight by herself. Yuki was never taught how to fight and is too frail. Additionally, she does not plan to learn any way or style of violence any time soon. As a Weapon, however, Yuki possesses two styles. As a Dual Katana, the Meister is meant to have a high agility fighting style. The two blades are easier to wield than their long sword counterpart, allowing for a much greater movement and slashing speed. With them, the Meister can partake in a hit-and-run strategy or attempt to lock the opponent down in a rain of combo attacks. But as a Nodachi, it's completely the other way around. Being double the size of a regular blade, a Nodachi is somewhat more difficult to wield than their lighter counterpart. At the same time, it gives the user outrageous range and brute power the normal katanas don't have. The Nodachi is better for taking defensive stances and waiting for the enemy to strike. The large blade allows the Meister to parry more easily and counterattack with powerful swings of the grand blade. Additionally, its sheer force is excellent for finishing moves. ❉ A B I L I T I E S: Yuki can, obviously, turn into her Weapon forms, though she doesn't possess any hybrid forms as of entering the DWMA. ❉ S T R E N G T H S: ❂ Versatility. ❉ W E A K N E S S E S: ✺ Frail Body ❉ H I S T O R Y: Yuki was born and raised in Japan, but not in a very usual way. The blonde girl originates from a rather noble, high standard Japanese family which still behaves in a very old fashion. While being "nobles", the Aoi family doesn't hold any real political power. Instead, they are simply considered and respected as nobles for the family's history as a military strength of their prefecture in the past. This strength of theirs comes not only from the great warriors they are able to train but their lineage of Weapons. As such, the higher-ups in the family attempt to keep a "excellent quality of blood" amongst the offspring. This usually results in arranged marriages with other noble families. Haruka, Yuki's mother, was involved in this system. She wasn't a fan of it, not in the least. Not like she had much choice in the matter, however. Specially because her mother, Yuki's grandmother, was one of said higher-ups who take part in organizing most of the family business, arranged marriages included. Haruka was a lady through-and-through, though a bit more spunky than her mother would've liked. Being a perfect example of a Japanese woman; pitch black silky hair, lean curvy figure, good manners; Haruka was preciously taken care of and saved for an important occasion. That time had come. As of the most recent times, the Aoi family had been trying to settle positive relationships with foreign families. They had already made connections with most of Asia and they had their eyes on Europe for the longest time. It was decided to start big and the Aoi family entered in contact with England. One of the families interested in starting such a relationship was the Bell family, to which the Aoi happily accepted their requests. And so, Haruka was set up in a marriage with George Bell, an upstanding blonde English gentleman. None of the two were exactly happy with the occasion as much as their parents, although George seemed a lot more submissive than the spunky lady attitude Haruka had. As with most arranged marriages, however, the two had little choice in the matter and barely any time was wasted in joining the young couple and, as a result, the two families. Haruka and George were, then, given a mansion to live in, as in most arranged marriages the Aoi family prepared. From then on out, the two were to live together and continue with their families' traditions. However, until the current higher-ups of each of their families decided to pass on their duties to the younger generation, there wasn't much for them to do but... copulate. It was one of the agreements in the marriage, after all, creating offspring. Haruka clashed with George more than a few times, his shy demeanor irritated the Japanese woman. Often was commented that the two had their supposed personalities traded. However, despite the disputes, George's generosity and loving kindness broke a hole in Haruka's icy shell. Before noticing it, the two had fallen for each other like "a ton-a bricks", as Haruka describes when reminiscing. Suddenly, the thought of having a child or two didn't seem so bad. It wasn't long until Yuki came into being. George blissfully agreed to give her a Japanese name after knowing what it stood for. Indeed, "Happiness" was the perfect name for their little girl. The baby appeared to have inherited the mother's long, perfect hair, though the color was the father's. Her small size's origin was suspected to be her grandmother's genes. Although, none of her headstrong mentality. In fact, Yuki seemed to be shy and polite like her father. In the earliest stages of her childhood, Yuki had all the attention in the world from her parents. Since both had yet to be assigned to any family position, Haruka and George were able to raise Yuki just the way they wanted. With one exception, that being Yuki having to be home-schooled, which was part of tradition in the Aoi family for offspring to be not only raised but taught by those of their own blood. As such, Yuki was taught by her own parents and sometimes a trained teacher, of the Aoi family obviously, when more professional methods were required. One could say Yuki had it all growing up. Her parents were always with her, she was surrounded by caring butlers and maids, money and resources weren't a problem. Haruka and George simply wished they could have Yuki go and meet her own friends, rather than only meeting with other family member's children every once in a while. Especially because that didn't seem to help the blonde child's awkwardness and shyness problems. By the age 18, Yuki finally manifested her Weapon genes, an occasion that was growing increasingly more rare with each generation of the Aoi. Because of that, Yuki turning out to have Weapon powers resulted in a large uproar amongst both parts of the family, thinking it was the joining of the two royal bloods that allowed this to happen. More than petty relations between the families or coincidences or whatever, George and Haruka were more worried what would happen to their little girl right then. By the order of Yuki's grandmother, the newly acclaimed Weapon was to be sent to DWMA to learn how to control her power and possibly even grow stronger, representing both sides of her family as a Deathscythe. Yuki's parents were not too happy about it, for it was too much of a culture shock to the young girl. First they demanded Yuki to grow in seclusion and now they want to send her to a school full of not-too-sane people by herself? Their complaints were met with a dry "Yes." followed by the preparations to send Yuki off. Taking in account she had learned how to talk in English, cook, clean and basically how to take care of herself, it was thought she was more than ready. But Haruka knew better, as did George. Yuki wasn't emotionally prepared. It was then that Yuki stepped up. Looking her parents in the eyes, the little girl assured them she could do it. If it would make them and Grandmother happy, then she would do anything. Her parents still didn't want her to go, but after seeing their child make such the big decision to accept the burden herself, they couldn't bring themselves to deny her. It was so that Yuki was finally confirmed to attend DWMA as a fully fledged student, ready to begin learning and growing as not only a Weapon, but as a human being.
