Whether this is something that carries on from her real life experiences or not, only those that knew her outside the game could say. An upfront and honest person, she cares not for petty games of politics or the machinations in the dark. In the time it takes to make all those traps that fall apart at first contact, she would rather be forging herself further and further, closer to her own ideal. In a less kind way of phrasing it, she is a musclebrained idiot. Now, that is a bit of an exaggeration of course. It's not that she is lacking in intelligence, it is that rather than scheming and planning for a situation to only save minor gains, she believes that the simpler solution is often the better one. He who has the hardest fist is often the most correct. Of course if the situation demands for it, she is perfectly willing and able to create strategy and plans in order to save herself or her allies from catastrophic loss. But hey, if she can make up for that lack of strategy with her own ability, that would probably be better. Background: To say it in the simplest terms, an office lady. She worked long and thankless days to get her paycheck, only to see it burned off every month to pay for the minimum living necessities (and beers for after work. Nothing like it after a hard day after all.) In a more complex manner of explanation, she was a highschool and university graduate wide eyed and ready for the real world! That is to say, she was until the reality of well. . . reality. . . hit her. The long days were fine at first, but over time, day after day. Year after year, they dragged on and on. Eventually, they started to drain on her. Her spark started to go out, and she went through every day like a zombie. That is, until one of her friendly coworkers recommended she try this new mmo that had come out recently. Yari was not a gamer, so she went in skeptical to say the least. From the moment she logged in however, she was hooked. New worlds. Exciting adventures. There was really no way that she could not get sucked in. It rekindled her spark. Her zest for life. In fact, she got so absorbed into her gaming, that she started to neglect other aspects of her life. Of course, she never let her work slip. That was the only thing that was paying for the other aspects of her shut in lifestyle of course. But other than going to work, and occasionally going out for the mandatory drink with her coworkers after the work day had ended, she would stop by the convenience store, buy some beers and snacks, and game. The weekends were the best. Not having to go into work the next day left her free to game deep into the night. It was amazing. In fact, before the SAO was teased to the public, she was a relatively high ranking player in the previous MMO. She was dedicated to the grind. It didn't bother her to grind out skill proficiencies or experience or quests for some reason. You would think that it would, given that it was not all that different from the grind of work day after day, but to her, it was a completely different animal. This other world kept her hooked from start to finish. Then, SAO was released. Of course she was one of the chosen few who managed to get their hands on the Nerv Gear and a copy of the game. There simply was no way that she would let it pass by. In fact, she had already chosen the path she was planning on traveling in the game, and researched any available alternatives that might fit her better. Warriors are important, but crafting personnel are important as well. All the more if she can be both. She would have the top guilds grasping at her coattails. Of course, she wouldn't join any that had some annoying ulterior motive. She just wanted to join the strongest warriors to climb this fantastical new world.
