[h2][b][i][color=gold][center]Identity[/center][/color][/i][/b][/h2][hr]
Heir of a prestigious Magus family spawning six generations, Yuriko is a rising star amongst the students at London's Clock Tower. A powerful aristocrat despite her age, she handles matters with both etiquette and efficiency, yet manages to exude an aura of 'mischievous older sister' that can make her look either approachable or downright scary. Raised to be exemplar, she has accumulated a great amount of knowledge and experience in various disciplines over the years, some of which include fencing, piano and theatre. When it comes to modern technology, however, she's as incompetent as a certain family head from a parallel universe. 

Like many other so-called artists, Yuriko works within the Department of Creation, where she assists with the fabrication of a specific type of 'Formal Wear', namely those that have to be worn as a piece of clothing, craft which has catapulted her family to fame generations ago. They are responsible for the design of the latest Holy Church's Combat Vests, although their relationship is purely professional, holding no strong ties. 

She joins the Grail War out of a moral obligation to seek the Root, much to the dismay of anyone expecting a more original reason. She's the typical Magus who is absorbed in her research, follows an appropriate code of chivalry and quickly takes care of those who do not, while still finding time to spend on recreational purposes. 



[h2][b][i][color=gold][center]Cards on the Table[/center][/color][/i][/b][/h2][hr][h3][b][u]Magecraft[/u][/b][/h3]Though her noble heritage has granted her a good circuit quantity and composition as well as an affinity for the wind element, most of Yuriko's strength comes from her creations rather than her own power. As such, everything revolves around either helping in the development and maintenance of Mystic Codes or providing assistance that complements her style during combat. She's particularly proficient in the school of Material Transmutation, being considered a genius in the field of Reinforcement and Alteration. It only takes a few verses for her magecraft to be able to grant any piece of clothing the properties of both an armor and a talisman, although she believes that quick jobs are sloppy jobs. Combining magecraft with ancient sewing techniques, the result will certainly be more rewarding; and at her level of skill it can be done in a few days, whereas an experienced tailor mage would take weeks, if not months.

At some point during her stay at the Department of Creation, Yuriko decided to incorporate the art of puppetry into her arsenal. Though her talent at this school will never match [or come even close for that matter] that of certain Magus with the color designation of 'Orange', the manufacture of rudimentary puppets can aid her immensely in combat, providing the offensive tool that she's always lacked and having good sinergy well with the rest of her kit. At this time, she has enough anatomical knowledge to create powerful humanoid puppets, however, you'd have to be pretty far away to believe that one is the real thing. 
[h3][b][u]Mystic Codes[/u][/b][/h3]
[list]
[*][b]Nexus:[/b] A set of black gloves with connecting threads of synthetic fiber between and at the tip of each of its fingers, reinforced enough to serve as a weapon both to capture and finish off opponents. In combination with Material Transmutation magecraft, it can be used in an outstanding number of practical and deadly ways.
[*][b]Rudimentary Puppets:[/b] Though an enormous amount of work has been put into them and the complexity of their mechanisms is noteworthy, as is Yuriko's skill with them, they remain average in all parameters to the eyes of any Magus. They break with relative ease if their opponent is a supernatural fighter, but their stock can be replenished just as easily.  
[*][color=gold][b][MASTER BOON][/b][/color][b] Shūsoku (収束 Convergence):[/b] Yuriko's lifework. An alluring black dress enchanted with so many special functions that has the potential turn its wearer into a one-man army. Ranging from popular functions like auto-mapping, aim-assist, first aid and physical boost, to more exquisite options like magical energy storage, automatic spell-casting, adaptive armor, familiar/puppet remote control, among others, Convergence bring few new things to the table, instead assisting in things a Magus can already do by handling them itself so the wearer has their hands free to take care of more important things. Despite its appearance, it's a Formal Wear of the highest quality that protects the entire body. Its workings hold similarities to a super-computer, yet it's not a technological gadget, it's a Mystic Code built upon layers and layers of Magecraft Formula.[/list]  



[h3][b][i][color=gold][center]Trivia[/center][/color][/i][/b][/h3][hr]

[list]
[*]The Sekimoto Family is also the owner of a successful Japanese clothing brand. They use this mundane business as a front in order to finance their craving for rare materials to be used on their supernatural products.
[*]Hailing from Japan, she is familiar with the work of Eastern Magecraft and quite aware that the study of curses would only improve her capabilities. However, she has been hesitant about it, given the past experience the family has with that particular brand of magecraft.
[*]After her mother fell victim to a potent curse of her own design as she tried to enchant a particular piece of clothing, Yuriko was left in charge of most of the family duties, including tailor-made requests to a great number of customers.
[*]For her uniqueness and value to the Mage's Association, The Clock Tower has given the color designation of 'Black'. Regarding her capabilities as a Magus, she bears the rank of 'Pride'.
