Not particularly beautiful but also not ugly, she tends to go unnoticed and can be fairly nondescript. She has dark green hair and blue eyes. Will always wear long sleeves due to the intricate tribal tattoos that decorate her back and upper arms, as they mark her rank and relation to her clan.[/i][/color] [sub][h3][indent][i]𝔾et to 𝕂now 𝕐ou[/i][/indent][/h3][/sub] [b]Occupation:[/b] [color=d3d3d3][i]Butcher, Baker, and Brewer[/i][/color] [b]Repuation:[/b] [color=d3d3d3][i]By pure appearance alone, Yumi just seems like a fairly normal young girl, albeit one who seems to act a bit too girlish for an adult woman. Those who know her but don't know her well will tell you that she's kind and generally quite hospitable, always willing to lend a hand when asked and gives her best effort to do whatever you need her to do. She has a bit of a tendency to get involved in other peoples business without their consent however, often interfering whenever she hears about trouble and going to wherever that trouble is without anyone explicitly asking her to help. Those who know her better though will tell you that Yumi is something of a gossip and sneak. Information, whether about people, politics, or just general bits of news, are all valuable to her so Yumi makes it a point to always be in the know. And this isn't limited to just Yumi; apparently she's "in the know" with a wide range of informants and contacts who she often trades information with, whether it's just gossip about her friends or words of a coming calamity. This web of connections is so vast and has their thumbs into so many pies, Yumi herself had to do some questionable things just to be part of the group, things that make people wonder if her general demeanor as a normal girl trying to be special is just an act, or a genuine attempt of a relative nobody to be part of something bigger.[/i][/color] [b]Affiliation:[/b] [color=d3d3d3][i]Yozakura-kai[/i][/color] [b]Backstory:[/b] [color=d3d3d3][i]Yumi's childhood was much like anyone else: she was the only child of a fairly happy couple, and by the age of six she started to learn how to help her family's business. Her father was a baker and brewer, buying grains from the local miller and making it into bread to sell to the townsfolk. Anything that wasn't sold was turned into beer, which would be drank by the many hard working adults later that night. Her mother was a butcher and hunter, using her skill with a blade to kill, skin, and carve up a corpse into a delicious platter to sell to both peasants and nobles alike. Her parents were well liked for their utility to the community, and they made sure to socialize and get to know their community. All of course, because they served a powerful organization known as the Yozakura-kai. A criminal organization of which both Yumi's parents are members of. Her father was a laundered money and acted as an information broker. Her mother cleaned up corpses and would often sell the butchered meat as "wild game" sausage or fodder. For Yumi, she was introduced to the organization at the ripe age of ten, after she had already learned a good bit of basics from her parents. From there she went to a school of sorts with other children of Yozakura-Kai parents, and taught more practical skills when it comes to things such as combat, subterfuge, and history. Yumi had a knack for swordplay but like any other girl was one of the many chatterboxes and gossip mongers in class, and quickly formed a persona of a naive girl who just wanted to play with the boys. From there she used her position to learn a lot about her fellow school mates and used that information to stay ahead of the curve, and if need be, take out competition before they got too unruly. Yumi graduated from her school at seventeen and immediately started to work for her parents, specifically taking on contracts for the Yozakura-Kai. She had already been conditioned to kill, often going on jobs to assassinate others and remove any witnesses. Just as well she could easily infiltrate an organization to steal valuable information that feeds the Yozakura-Kai's ability to maintain power. Even now Yumi is on such a job, to join a new guild focused on hunting and cooking monsters of all things. But the Yozakura-Kai know that there's an upcoming famine, and it would benefit them greatly if they could get their hands on any valuable recipes and cooking techniques to further spread their influence. And so Yumi would once more go forth into the unknown with nothing more than a smile and her sword, looking for the next big thing.
