[list][*][u][b]Name:[/b][/u] Yuko
[*][u][b]Age:[/b][/u] 17
[*][u][b]Appearance:[/b][/u] [url=https://vitavitaar.deviantart.com/art/Will-need-a-name-724267568]Dark brown hair, gold eyes, light skintone. She's pretty short too.[/url]
[*][u][b]Personality:[/b][/u] Yuko is an energetic girl who seems ready for anything at all times. Highly confident in herself, she has a sort of "accept any challenge" kind of attitude and and a highly optimistic outlook... on [i]herself[/i]. Her faith in other people is rather low, and she has a tendency to laugh at others or even tease them if she thinks they did something silly or foolish. Indeed, Yuko will not hesitate to admonish and mock anyone she thinks is being stupid. Her generally positive outlook is tempered by, well, something of a temper. When she believes someone is being too foolish, her cheery taunting turns into anger and she will become quite irritable. That being said, Yuko also cares about those around her, especially children, and will do her best to ensure anyone working with her is not harmed. Even if she spends a lot of time teasing others, the truth is that she does care about them. Even if she doesn't exactly show it. At times, Yuko will use her mask to cover her reaction. Usually this is when she decides not to make it obvious she's laughing, but also when she's flustered or embarrassed about something to cover her blush. While she can fight hand to hand, she much prefers to use her katana.
[*][u][b]Equipment:[/b][/u] Yuko carries a number of different tools on her person. Chief of these is her main weapon, a katana designed to channel heat its blade. The heat is continually channeled through the edge of the sword once activated, heating the weapon to an extreme level. As a result, she is capable of cutting cleanly through many different kinds of targets when the blade is heated. However, the superheat function of the sword is not without its drawbacks. If overused, it can cause the weapon to overheat and force it into a cooldown state. If pushed even further, it can cause the sword to heat to the point where Yuko can no longer hold it. Aside from her weapon, Yuko carries a [url=https://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/Z3kAAOSwNSxVfjYR/s-l300.jpg]kitsune mask[/url] that possesses functions for both heat and night vision. Aside from basic food, she also carries a set of eight blasting powder vials, gunpowder-like substance that causes a small explosion once ignited. The vials are insulated to prevent this from occurring by accident.
[*][u][b]Abilities:[/b][/u] Yuko is very, very fast and dexterous, allowing her to pull off stunning maneuvers with her blade.
[*][u][b]Skills:[/b][/u] Yuko is skilled in two primary areas when it comes to combat. That is that she is very capable with a sword, enough to even deflect projectiles, and that she is surprisingly capable in hand to hand. However, due to her small size and relatively low amount of strength, her hand to hand combat is based around using momentum to deliver her blows or take targets off-balance.
[*][u][b]History:[/b][/u] Yuko was raised by her uncle, a hotblooded "man's man" who immediately decided to train his niece in hand to hand combat. Of course, since she was such a small girl, he decided to tailor the lessons to her size. This lead to her current style of unarmed combat. In spite of this training, Yuko was always more interested in fighting with a weapon, specifically a sword. Indeed, something that was left to her by her parents' was a katana, a sword that was built to heat itself up to extreme temperatures in order to enhance its cutting power. Eventually, once her uncle deemed her ready for it, Yuko claimed the weapon as her own and launched herself into lessons on how to use it, training for much of her life in order to wield it skillfully. Excited to use her abilities, Yuko managed to register for the guild and do some basic gathering missions not far from the city of New Auren.

I feel like that backstory isn't enough but I was struggling from the start with it. ^^;
