Identifiers

Yori is quite easy to spot in a crowd, tall and well built woman. Most of all it is her stinging eyes that tend to catch the attention of those that she converses with. A nigh apathetic, cold expression rest within. Despite her being a rather caring and nurturing woman.


The woman herself is rather littered with scars, claws, blades, arrows and other things. Some faded to barely be visible - Others on the other hand seem to be just unwilling to become victims to time. It doesn't seem to really be something she is ashamed of showing off. Compared to what her culture usually dictates, Yori is a very prideful woman.

On Yori's right arm is a traditional irezumi, depicting a single dragon snaking it's way up her arm with it's head resting on her shoulder. Ocean blue scales and a vigilant glare in it's eyes."To be remembered that I am not alone."


Long thick locks of Raven black hair, usually tied back in some capacity, hangs loosely over her back. The nearly unreflective black seems to be pierced by only a single white. A feather that she has woven into her hair, something that she never seems to remove and even at times toys around with.

Gear


A white axe, a relic from the past as she calls it. Heavy steel of unknown origin, a blade razor sharp with runes of similarly unknown origin etched into haft and blade. Each swing roars with the fury of her patrons, "Raijin & Fujin" - Or at-least, that is what she would say."War is my song and this axe is my instrument. May your enemies tremble at the crescendo of our fury." - Bihan Kawakami


A necklace that was her longest standing gift in Yoris possession. A sturdy and magically treated leather chord with a silver pendant, within an azure gem is socketed which radiated a faint magical aura. Of course, if confronted about suspicions on it, she'd simply deny it. Or tell her one lie."I want you to have this. It will help you, I hope, and remind you of me whenever you touch it..." - Hinami Shimizu


A snow white feather woven into Yoris hair, according to her it is her greatest treasure. Which carries a level of irony to it as on pure material the necklace seems to carry more worth. Yet this feather appears to be a constant companion and is often seen to bring her comfort when she feels overwhelmed by this... Strange new world."A gift, from the most beautiful and kind creature that I have had the joy of meeting. And as luck willed it...I am yet again reunited with her." - Yori Kawakami


A Raven-feathered fan, that tends to be tightly strapped to Yoris belt. A beautifully crafted ebony handle, with seven Raven feathers fanning out, plume snuggly sat against the other. Once again it seems that this item especially seems to be incredibly dense with aetherical power. Alas, it is one that despite being always on her, Yori never seems to interact with much."Pride is a poison my friend, it blinds and numbs you to your own potential. Learn humility and thrive in this world." - Satoru Yukikaze


Personality

Yori is on ones first experience more of the quiet variety of individuals. Cautious but friendly, optimistic even. A woman that wishes to see the best in people in most situations really. That does not mean that she is specially naïve though; She is a woman of conviction and focus. But she carries the firm believe that even the most miss-guided person deserves a chance to at the very least right their wrongs. Even if that may be impossible.That being said, she is well aware that evil exist. Not everyone can be saved. Not everyone wants to be saved. Finding the balance between these two views is a trial that she has faced for decades and is to her own admission not closer to find the 'shade of gray' that she seeks.All that aside, it is a warriors heart that beats in her chest. Both of the views fade and lost all meaning if those at her side are endangered. If any one threatens those under her wing. She will teach them that lighting does indeed strike twice.

Hinami Shimizu ♥ !

"I thought her lost to me. But luckily, as with many things, I have been wrong. Once I've fled, scared of... How change would affect our lives together. But no more, I never wish to suffer separation again. I love her, with all that I have."

Lucifer Yukikaze ♡ !

"Lucy... Or at times Lucifer is... A curious case. They are rather obvious with their...fondness? Of me? - Not like I dislike it. I quite enjoy them myself. I suppose I am mostly surprised with how their feelings mirror my own."

Freya Yukikaze ♡ !

"As time passes views change. To some extend at least, but Freya is still a fool. A good with good intentions and quite the slide of charisma - Even if she would deny that accusation. I have come to quite enjoy being around her, she has the tendency to tickle formerly unknown sides out of people. Even from someone like me, I believe that should tell you a thing or two."

Luna Hatasashi !

"Lady Hatasashi, or well. Luna, as she wishes me to call her rather. Is in a few ways like Petra herself, yet also quite different. Refreshingly so. Intelligent and precise. Quite blunt at times, it makes it easier for me to understand her. I can see why Lord Yukikaze trusts her with the wellbeing of the Blossom."

Zakhaev Swiftclaw !

"Zakhaev is a good boy. Yet I feel the innocence that I have read about in Lord Yukikazes files seems to be... Not broken, but tainted? More man then boy now, with a grim, determined light in his eye. I wish to help, but I am uncertain how to approach him about it. The best that I can do is see that 'taint' won't change him entirely."

Xuegah Nhutu !

*"Xuegah is an interesting woman. I quite enjoy her company in fact. - One of the few that seems to get my... Disposition towards larger crowds. I enjoy that. And her close connection to nature is something that we both share. She has much to offer to people, even if I feel like that there is more to it all. But who knows, I've been wrong before. I could be again."

Kristjan Rysto !

"A fellow retainer of the Yukikaze Clan, he has an evidently good heart. Full of concern and the want to do good. But I find myself observing Kristjan getting himself into some kind of trouble over his good intentions. - It is as they say, good heart- and intentions can all to easily get twisted by those that view them as weakness. I do not fault him for that, but knowing where one can rest their trust, is very important."

Hooks


Battle: As Yori herself will say, she is born and bred to fight. Be it a sparring match that you desire, or legitimate help in more serious situations. Yori will be hard pressed to deny her nature.


Fan: A ebony feathered fan, a treasure in many ways. A legacy in others. A shockingly dense, heavy aetheric pressure radiates from this item. Surely enough to turn the head of the one or the other aetherologist and scholar alike. Get to know her and she might be swayed to share some of her secrets.


Animal friend: Yori is a rather silent person, mostly enjoying the forests and the company of animals. Mostly birds, which seem to be also quite drawn to her in turn aswell!



Adventure: Fresh out of doma. Yori has still much to learn, despite her age. If you offer adventure and exploration, surely, she'll be inclined to accept your company.


Learning: Some say you can't teach an old bird new tricks, that is far from the truth. Yori is fascinated by the things she sees in the wider world. Willing and happy to learn from anyone who is willing to share their knowledge, who knows. She have something to share.


Tempests heart: In the complete opposite to her usual demeanor; Yori's aether is completely wild. A booming thunderstorm. Yet it seems there is still plenty hidden underneath this surface.



OOC & Contact

Cheers!
If you've made it this far, thank you very much for the interest! - To say a little about myself, I am 25+ and have RP'ed for a few years now,
I come from the EU so times can be a little whacky for those friends from NA and other regions. But mostly am very much approachable to set up a time for either RP or any PvE stuff, I am decently geared so I don't mind helping out with the occasional runs of god knows what may be the intent!
Whilst I am open to discord scenes, I prefer making the first contacts in-game, but I am more then okay with making an exception if it turns out to be troublesome to find the time there!
If there is interest one can find me on Discord or in game! All the infos are below!
