Mayumi Himura

Mayumi Himura is a character role-played by LunaOni.
==General Description==
Mayumi is young woman with a passion for all things cars, especially racing them illegally. Originally from Japan, she left her past there behind and has been living in America for some time. May moved to Los Santos interested in the local racing scene and a fresh start for her life.
==Physical Description==
Mayumi is a woman of average height, about 162cm tall, with olive skin, green eyes, and long brown hair that she often dyes. May has an athletic figure thanks to her can't-sit-still personality and high-energy criminal lifestyle full of running from the cops and scaling walls.
She used to be heavily tattooed, with sleeves on both arms. Her tattoo designs have varied since the introduction of new designs in the local tattoo shops. But after her recent freedom from her father she removed her tattoos
She enjoys changing up her outfits frequently, with some regular features including round sunglasses & crop tops. She usually bases her fashion around whatever color she's feeling at the moment, with her primary colors of choice being black, red, and white. She's been known to go through other clothing phases, including "neon goth", a "blue phase," and her most recent "emerald phase." May's OG crime mask is a black, white, & red Oni mask that became a personal signature.
==Personality==
Mayumi is a headstrong & high-strung woman, who is at her happiest when she's unbound by responsibilities. Although she prefers to follow the beat of her own drum, May is far from completely self-centered and can be a surprisingly good team-player if she finds the right people. May is very loyal to those she does let become her friend and is willing to drop everything at a moment's notice to rush to their aid however she can. Once you're in May's trusted circle, she's willing to shed blood for you.
She isn't the best at socializing, which leads to her struggling to make friends, but will open up if the right topics are mentioned. If she's in her element, which is usually something to do with cars, May is almost a social butterfly. The normally withdrawn woman will approach total strangers to strike up a conversation about their car, which is usually how she meets most of her friends. In other social encounters, May is more apt to pass by strangers without a word.
Although she can seem cold, quick to violence at times, and somewhat uncaring of others' plights, May does possess some empathy. She'll take an injured man hostage for a bank, but not before getting him medical aid beforehand. May can be extremely vindictive when wronged and has been known to escalate rapidly over minor slights. Challenging May when she's angry often leads to violence, but she can be reasoned with and usually prefers to talk things out rather than resorting to bloodshed. 
May is rather resistant to the idea of committed relationships and prefers to live life by the seat of whatever car she's in at the time, on the road, always moving. Partners often end up cramping her style, so she doesn't like to let people get too close. Her awkwardness and background of close personal trauma have made the concept difficult, no matter how much she yearns for it. When someone does break down her barriers they'll find an incredibly dedicated (often violently so) lover who will move heaven & earth for their partner, assuming she isn't distracted at the time.
==Background==
Originally from Japan, Mayumi moved away when she was younger, desperate to escape the clutches of her Yakuza family. Her father was the Oyabun of a powerful Yakuza syndicate, Matsumura-gumi, and she was expected to be his heir when she became an adult. Until then she was to be trained as her father's personal assassin. Instead of the life of a normal child, May was raised to be a remorseless killer with her ordinary schooling supplemented by firearms classes and combat drills. May was taught to repress and compartmentalize her emotions, that they were a weakness that would only get in her way. May became as familiar with weapons as most children do with toy dolls. 
May's time with her family was not one of love and joy, and she consistently rebelled against the life her father was trying to impose on her. May discovered the illegal street racing scene as a teen, and quickly grew infatuated with it. Her father hated this "low-class" behavior from his daughter and they were constantly at odds over it, with May often escaping from the clutches of her family in a stolen car only to be dragged back to her father once again. Each time she was dragged back and forced to work for her father, to kill for him, May could only think of the sheer joy and freedom she felt behind the wheel of a car as it careened around a bend at breakneck speeds. Her need to escape from her family and live a life of her own was paramount. 
Although details of her escape are closely guarded by Mayumi, at some point in her late teens she escaped Japan and ended up on her own. In recollections to friends she's mentioned washing up on the shore of a lesser-known Caribbean island and being found nearly dead by W'Kabi Aku. Mayumi spent some time on the island working with W'Kabi and his boys, getting rich and living good. Eventually, however, the political climate shifted and the corrupt cops that were working with them suddenly weren't. May sensed the trouble early and begged W'Kabi to flee with her, but he refused. Sensing her freedom being at risk again, May fled the island alone.
May ended up in Liberty City, picking up where she left off in Japan by seeking out street racing scenes and joining in every race she could. Her driving ability led to a successful career as a bank robber, with her signature Vincent Sport becoming a dreaded sight by the local police, almost leading the government to ban the ownership of the vehicle. May and her small crew did more than just banks, also producing & distributing their own drugs & guns. May worked as a car dealer during the day, one of her first tastes of legitimate employment. Earning money without breaking the law was new, but interesting, and would form the foundation for the next chapter in May's life when she left that city behind and moved to Los Santos. 
after 5 years Mayumi returned to Los Santos after leaving her life and everyone she knew behind to fly to Japan and finally confront her father. She returned to the Yakuza life she hated and spent five long years working for her father's syndicate again, running it for him, mercilessly hunting down her father's competition, eliminating rival Yakuza syndicates, and leaving a trail of destruction in her wake. Considering her debt paid, May's father let her go free of all debts or responsibilities so she could finally return to Los Santos and be with her found family instead.
