Tattoos: Ring of flowers that loops around her shoulders, a single flower over her belly button and an explosion of flowers on her back. The flowers are, of course, all pink.
Scent: A perfume made from the blossoms of the Sakura tree intermingled with the scent of fresh baked goods.
Typical Attire: Having grown up in the far east of Hingashi, Yuki usually prefers to wear her traditional Hingan clothing. But, as of late, she has set aside her traditional style in favor of a more modern and western style. When she's not wearing brightly colored kimono and yukata, Yuki can often be seen in cute outfits tailored to fit her perfectly. She loves to wear the color pink and often incorporates it into her outfits.
Accessories: The most noticeable of Yuki's accessories would be her Onigiri shaped backpack. In this bag, which has been enchanted to be bottomless, one can find a wide assortment of foods. A good portion of the bag is occupied by fish shaped pastries stuffed with custard and other an assortment of Hingan sweets. You can also find a wide array of books, ranging from saucy romance to chilling horror novels. Around her neck Yuki wears a black chain with two men's wedding bands strung on it. She appears to be very protective of this necklace and wears it at all times.
Personality: Yuki is an energetic, outgoing and positive person. She is a firm believer of jumping over the hurdles life throws us and refusing to give up when things get difficult. Yuki enjoys being in the company of her friends and is eager to make more. Yuki could be called an airhead, as she is often daydreaming and acting before thinking, which can sometimes land her in trouble.
Known Languages: Hingan (Fluent), Eorzean/Common (Fluent) and Doman (Proficient)
Current Home: Shriogane / Kugane
Current Occupation: Owner of Kawaii Taiyaki / Samurai to the Mitsurugi Clan and chef for Blackflag Imports. Yuki obviously likes to stay busy.
Preferred Weapons / Tools: Yuki can be seen carrying around two katanas with her at all times. One of the blades, housed in a black and golden scabbard, has been in her family for generations. The other sword does not appear to have an edge, a weapon Yuki prefers to use over her family's sword. Yuki has also been trained in the use of firearms and explosives, as well as close quarters combat. Yuki apparently does not separate herself from her blades, even going as far as to bringing them along everywhere she goes. She does not expect trouble everywhere she goes, but instead believes that her swords are an extension of her soul and thus feels incomplete when she does not have them on her.

Hailing from the far east that is Hingashi, Yuki is the daughter of a samurai and geisha. She was primarily raised in Kugane and moved to the countryside sometime in her childhood. Their home is situated as far east as one can go in Hingashi, near the coast.Yuki’s childhood was a quiet one, no trauma here. Yuki was raised in a loving household, and one could even say that she was spoiled growing up. But, despite this, Yuki is probably one of the nicest people you’ll ever meet. During her childhood, Yuki asked to be trained in the way of the samurai like her father, promising to serve the same lord as him when she was ready to do so.At some point in Yuki’s teen years, she went to a boarding school in Kugane. It was here that she discovered a love for the arts, be it watching a play or listening to music. When she wasn’t studying, Yuki was training in kendo, and even participated in a handful of tournaments while she was in Kugane. As one would expect, Yuki was one of the popular girls due to her outgoing and welcoming personality.Upon graduation, Yuki returned home to the countryside to help her parents run the farm they had started. It was there that Yuki learned how to grow rice and taught her a valuable lesson in patience. Life after graduation was quiet, a fact Yuki did not mind one bit. When not training in the ways of the samurai, Yuki worked hard to ensure she was a good pianist and cook.Last year, Yuki decided to leave home and travel the world. After saying goodbye, Yuki walked from her home in the countryside to Kugane, meeting all sorts of interesting people along the way. With a newfound sense of freedom, Yuki went out into the world, ready to try new foods and make new friends.During her travels, Yuki founded the Kawaii Taiyaki business. With a source of steady income (And her family’s money), Yuki was ready to start her adventures proper. Now she finds herself working for a company as one of their chefs and going on the occasional adventure.Roleplay Hooks:
- Yuki ALWAYS smells of food. Be it freshly baked goods or the sweet aroma of chocolate. Hungry? Don't hesitate to ask for a snack. Yuki's got you covered!
-Yuki spends most of her free time in Ul'dah, usually in the Quicksands. She appears welcoming to strangers, more than willing to talk your ear off.
- Yuki carries two katana with her, one blade looks significantly older than her. Perhaps there's a story to the blade.
- Yuki went to a private boarding scrool in Kugane during her teenage years, where she was one of the more popuar girls due to her outgoing nature. Perhaps you were a student there as well?
- Yuki is a sucker for a good manga and can sometimes been seen reading some saucy romance or a terrifying horror novel. She'd probably love to chat your ear/horn off about what she's currently reading.
- Yuki is the owner of Kawaii Taiyaki, a cafe situated in the Goblet that sells Hingan sweets. Maybe you've been there before?
