She stands at a full 5’2”, the stock average of her gender among her fellow eastern and southeastern Asians. She’s well-toned after a decade of fighting and conditioning against Japanese Imperialists and keeps up a martial arts regimen in order to keep herself “centered” and ready for anything. Her hair is a dark brown-black and she has brown eyes with an unassuming appearance that is often made even moreso with the choice of clothing that is more reminiscent of a dǒulì-toting rice farmer than the resistance soldier that she is.[/indent] [sub][color=C89B71][b]Personality[/b][/color][/sub][indent]Ei Yu inherited a broad intelligence and self-oriented philosophy from her father, often believing strongly that despite her role in traditional Chinese society the only way things were going to be done correctly was with her directing them. Given her particular struggles as a member of the Chinese Resistance this has been a trait that has only been affirmed throughout nearly eleven years of struggle and experience. This isn’t to say Yu thinks people are incompetent, but rather they lack the emotional stability to think logically and efficiently when it comes to a problem. In many conflicts this has arisen to Yu maintaining a level head and subverting her own emotions to get the most optimal result. It’s hard to disagree with Yu when she’s survived as long as she has against the Japanese forces that intend to dominate her culture, people, and the Chinese way of being. But at the end of the day, Yu isn’t as emotionally mute as she would lead her comrades to believe. The Rape of Nanjing has scarred the deepest, oldest memories of Yu’s mind; the event causing an emotional instability that leads to huge waves of post-traumatic stress, anxiety, guilt, hatred, fear, and obsession. Yu’s focus is only to cope with the dark emotions that remain deep within her heart and soul. From her perspective it is a productive thing to ignore her feelings, especially considering the traditions she was born with consist of quiet resilience and stoicism as primary values. Sometimes she is candidly blunt and othertimes she is simply being “objective” regarding her hatred and concerns, but in the end she’d rather swallow a bullet than admit her own anxieties, fears, and speak of the guilt she has on surviving Nanjing. [/indent] [sub][color=C89B71][b]Background[/b][/color][/sub][indent]Ei Yu was born to a small Chinese family in Nanjing in 1923 during a perilous time in the Republic of China. Yu’s father, Ei Zhong, was a Chinese Capitalist and Nationalist who served as one of the most influential men in Nanjing prior to his death at the hands of the Japanese when the Sino-Japanese War reached its climax as foreign soldiers sacked the capital of the Republic of China. Ultimately, what this meant for Yu was that her life was built to inherit great wealth and to propagate alliances throughout the capitalists who both opposed the fascist beliefs of Chiang Jieshi and the socialist contemporaries that opposed him. Those who knew Zhong often warned him that the “American” and “French” sensibilities he believed in would be his undoing if the civil war that was brewing didn’t create a casualty out of him first. It is only ironic that his death was not from his politics or from civil unrest but rather a Japanese bullet. Yu’s mother died in childbirth and was effectively raised by her extended family including her father’s second wife, Qiao Xuefeng. Given Yu lacked significant knowledge of her mother this didn’t effect much of her perspective growing up, though she often felt like her father valued her less for being born the “wrong” gender as many female Chinese often did. Yu kept her discontent to herself, though there was often an unspoken, quiet ambition in her since she was a young girl. This was clear enough when Yu decided to study at the Jinling Women's College in 1936. Unfortunately, this admittance to a higher education would be temporary as one year later Yu found herself hiding in the college as Japanese machine-guns echoed in the streets of Nanjing; The invasion of Nanjing had begun. The American missionary and educator who ran Ginling College, [url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minnie_Vautrin]Wilhelmina Vautrin[/url], attempted her very best to keep the safety of her students in mind and Yu would go on to remember the American fondly due to her efforts to protect the Chinese women who looked at the school like a sanctuary and safe haven against the Japanese soldiers that had begun occupying Nanjing. As much as Yu wanted to find her way home, she knew it was ideal for her to stay at the college; her time there did not end how she wanted it to. When Japanese soldiers stormed into the college and demanded “comfort women”, Yu saw a side of the Japanese she had only [i]heard[/i] about from the other women who were using the college as a safe place away from the fighting. Yu saw firsthand an experience that made her uncomfortable, swearing that she would rather die than meet such a fate. Fortunately, several women offered themselves – sex workers of Nanjing who had taken refuge – instead of the students and children that sat in the school wondering in fear. A situation that Yu appreciated to an extent but at the same time realized the so-called honor of the Japanese was circumstantial and the longer she stayed at the college the sooner she’d be waiting to wonder when the school would run out of enough “comfort women” for the Japanese. She decided she would leave [and carefully so] the first chance she got. She didn’t realize at the time it would be her genesis of becoming a member of the Chinese Resistance. When Yu found her way home through the war-tattered streets of Nanjing she came home to an empty household. Her father’s body cold alongside her half-brother, Ei Ruiyuan. Her family had been as she feared and she did the most impulsive thing she could think of, swiping the pistol from her father’s dead hands and sought out trouble. A few hours later she was looking down the barrel of an Arisaka 38 and would’ve joined her family in heaven if not for the intervention of a man she would come to know as her mentor and friend, a man named [url=http://lifestyle.inquirer.net/files/2014/01/JACKIE-Chan.jpg]Liu Jingyi[/url]. Jingyi would “foster” the young Chinese girl and soon he would introduce her to the movement to oppose Japan. The rest is history.

She will most likely find the Lee Enfield and Mosin-Nagant as superior rifles to the Arisaka 38 she has grown used to using. In combination with her experimental equipment, this suggests Yu is flexible and holds no favoritism toward her weapons.[/indent] [sub][color=C89B71][b]Experimental Equipment[/b][/color][/sub][indent]In addition to the standard experimental equipment provided, Yu has been issued a filterable scope based on the [url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zielger%C3%A4t_1229]Zielgerät 1229[/url], a prototype acquired by the Soviets after a German laboratory was seized in Eastern Europe. Named the [abbr=Helsing]Хельсинг[/abbr] as a joke by soviet scientists, the name has stuck though Yu herself has no idea what it means. To explain the Хельсинг is pretty simple. The filtered scope can be applied to any rifle (or even a machine gun) with little issue or detrimental weight. Much like the Zielgerät 1229, the Хельсинг allows the shooter to have a multiple range of options when approaching a firefight including night vision, infrared vision, and electromagnetic vision. The development of such a weapon can turn the tide of a battle, though only a small handful have been developed since the prototype was developed. It is likely that the one issued to Yu is one of the only models designated to the Asian Theatre. Such things will allow the 914 better awareness and mobility in their missions throughout Eastern, Southern, and Southeastern Asia.[/indent] [sub][color=C89B71][b]Experience[/b][/color][/sub][indent]Yu was nearing her eighteenth birthday when the Imperial Japanese Army attacked Nanjing, an event that she considers the one thing that changed her life. Eventually she found herself involved within the Chinese Liberation Movement, a group of freedom fighters that represented China much like how the French Resistance had done so for France [albeit unsuccessfully]. The date she “officially” joined is hard to say, but it would have to have occurred at the earliest in 1941, around four years after the massacre. Though Yu herself considers Nanjing as the day of her “recruitment”. Her induction into the cross-faction “experimental” squadron, the 914, has come from a decade of experience, though most veteran soldiers would consider Yu’s experience as representing more of skirmishes and ambushes rather than a true field of battle. There are exceptions with a decade of fighting, of course, but being a female soldier comes with its share of prejudices and misconceptions.

The two are unrelated, but Jingyi’s fostering of Yu can be said to have been that of a second father. A veteran of the Dungan Revolt, the Boxer Rebellion, and a multitude of other conflicts, Jingyi would direct Yu’s life within the Chinese Liberation Movement. Due to his involvement in the Soviet Invasion of Xinjiang he had a strong distaste for communists and Russians in general; a trait that has influenced Yu’s way of thinking.
