 [color=yellow][b]Description:[/b][/color] 
Definitely a tough girl. It's probably the permanent scowl on her face, or the enormous muscles she has. Yoko definitely looks like a bodybuilder. An adventurer of some kind, for sure. Even though she's barely more than five feet, the girl is intimidating due to her deposition, and the fact that she's ripped. That was all because of years upon years of martial arts training. She has a thick Japanese accent, but those familiar with Japanese (mostly natives of the nation) can quickly trace her accent to the Okayama Prefecture. Being a native of that city. Another thing they can tell is that she's a delinquent. Even though she originated in a nation that values politeness, she is very crass, and at times rude.

Because of her appearance, lots of people interpret Yoko for being a male. It's the muscles, and the rather androgynous face. Depending on her clothing, most people mould never realize she's a girl. And that's something that makes her die a little inside. What doesn't help is her atrocious fashion sense. However, the main thing that would give away her true gender is that Yoko's very chesty. At around 38F, puberty hit her very hard. Which goes well with her muscular frame.

Yoko is a native of Japan, obviously. Her skin is a golden-toned color that is darker than average due to receiving lots of sunlight. Regardless of what Yoko wears, she always has a long yellow headband around her neck. Dare touch this and you'll die.


   [color=yellow][b]Personality:[/b][/color]
There's a lot of layers of Yoko. Let's start with the basics. Yes, she is brash, headstrong, and competitive. That was what she was taught as a girl. She is always looking for new challenges, and will do anything to improve herself as a person. Make herself above the others. While she is still young, and inexperienced, she definitely has a lot of drive that'd give even the strongest of Marchand a challenge! Beneath the surface layer, she is [i]very[/i] family oriented, and takes their honor very seriously. Say what you will about Yoko, but say one ill word about her family, and she'll knock you out. She has a lot of pent up rage towards the other families. Because her own family were some of the best warriors in the war, that saved the collective asses of the magical community. And what did they get in return? Some other upstarts get council, and their actions are forgotten.

    
  [color=yellow][b]Skills:[/b][/color] 

[i]Martial Arts:[/i] One of the Hatanaka family talents is their immense skill in martial arts, they have their own style called Hatanaka Karate. Which has been passed down to Yoko. It can roughly be called a mixture between Traditional Japanese Martial arts, and Judo, mixed with their innate talent with fire. Which creates a style that has a lot of punches and kicks, and grapples that can tear someone up. Yoko is naturally talented in this field.


   [color=yellow][b]Weaknesses:[/b][/color]
Yoko is brash, angry, and impulsive. Her mouth (and her fist) gets her in a lot of trouble because she has a hard time controlling either. She is probably going to get into a lot of shit with the other people at the academy.

Her fashion sense is awful.
  
  [color=yellow][b]Brief History:[/b][/color] 
Okay, so I'm going to take a few liberties here with the lore here. 

I imagine that the magical community, much like the real world, is separated into East and West. With the western magical community being what is seen in this roleplay, and the eastern being a relatively isolated communities separated by nations. Relatively staying out of the business of the west. That was until the Hatanaka family broke out of the cycle, and made contact several years before the war even started.

The Hatanaka family was a family that specialized in pyromancery. However, they created an entire martial art that was based around mixing magic, and the fist. They created Hatanaka Karate, and were regarded as some of the best fighters in Asia. When the war against the cult came around, the Hatanaka family were the ones that were the best prepared to fight due to their training. They were some of the front lines soldiers, and delivered the best results. They helped end the war.

And what did they get in return?

Nothing.

The contributions of the Hatanaka were largely forgotten as the other families prospered. Yoko was born before the war, and before she could even learn to talk, her mother was taken from her by the war. She was raised by her father, the head of the Hatanaka family, her uncle. With her five brothers being there for her. Yoko was the youngest of the Hatanaka family, being born just before the war started. She served as a grim reminder of what happened to her mother.

This, mixed with the silent rage that Hatanaka family had from not receiving the credit they deserve, planted the seeds of anger inside of Yoko. Who had great pride in her family's name. As she grew up, she learned the Hatanaka's style of martial arts, mixed with pyromancery training. Being around so many boys made her rather masculine, and she had thoughts of being the next head of the family. But, that was against their culture.

When the letter for Marchand came, it was decided that Yoko should go. Being the youngest and least experienced, she had a lot of learn that the Hatanaka family didn't know.

Yoko herself just wanted to put these upstarts in their place.

One of my favorite things about this RP is the various families, and the politics between them.
