Yua Soria

...
Menacing silence from Yua wherever she may be.
</blockquote>Yua Soria (formerly known as Yua Matoi in past storylines) is one of three main protagonists (deuteragonist? idfk-) with Amanda and Ame being the other two. She is part of the Crimson trio and the youngest of the girls, being 16 years old. Her canonical birthday is July 19, 2036 and she has satanic abilities that she got after selling her soul to Satan as a bargain to be brought back to life after dying when she was 14. Yua was raised in Chicago, Illinois, but she was born in El Paso, Texas.
[contrary to belief and context, Yua is NOT a satanist] 
Yua's name is Japanese for "love, binding," and her birthday is the same as Ame Matoi's mother, July 19.
== Physical Appearance ==
Yua, unlike the other girls is the only girl who wasn't inspired by a character from another series, making her one of two completely original characters (the other one is Sylviana Kingston) that Ame Matoi created (aside from other characters)
Yua is a girl with a slim body type, long black springy hair with 3 bangs on her forehead that's partially sideswept. Yua also has bright red eyes, however her natural eye color is hazel, she has red eyes because she's mostly demonic. She enjoys wearing dark shades of clothing, usually wearing a black shirt, jeans and sneakers, a thin red long-sleeve undershirt (that hides her scars from slitting her wrists and arms,) black leather fingerless biker gloves, and has a red neck sleeve that acts as a way of hiding her scar from when she died and protects her from being attacked in the throat.
== Field Performance ==
Yua does what is expected from all agents in regards to firearms, but Mercenary League prefers that she would rely less on her bladed weapons and use a gun from time to time. Yua being someone who prefers to get up close and personal with her enemies, it's no surprise that she would pick up any 12-gauge shotgun, either normal or sawed-off.
=== Preferred Weapons ===
* "Diamondback," an all diamond katana that Yua primarily uses, a blade that is mastered by its wielder.
* Balisong knife, or butterfly knife.
* Tec-9 pistol, although Yua hardly uses it, she will resort to it as needed.
* Prefers any 12-gauge shotgun, AK47 for assault rifles and any SMG.
On the field, initial reports conclude that sadism and sociopathy is abundantly present in Yua Soria when she faces her enemies, often making her target suffer longer than needed, always met with either a blank stare or sadistic smile accompanied with a giggle or laugh. Her sister, Ame Soria, adds that before taking out a target, Yua plays twisted games to psychologically torment and engulf an enemy in fear, making others feel like "she is everywhere." Yua whispers in the enemies' ear, telling them something frightening before swiftly hiding again, when she has had her fun screwing with the opposition, she then takes the opportunity to kill them. No matter how unethical or immoral the way Yua kill someone, she never let it bother her, making her much more terrifying.
"A little bit of sociopathy is required for this job, anyways..." says Mercenary League Agent Joshua Peddler.
== Biography ==
Yua Soria was born on July 19, 2036 in the United States, El Paso, Texas and like the Ame Soria page says, not much is known about her parents,.The moment Yua was born, she was immediately moved into foster care by her parents for reasons unknown, meaning that Ame and Yua most likely met each other for a very brief moment, but since the human memory expands at age 3, neither of them remember it. Yua was later adopted by a husband and wife of Naive American ancestry, who later moved Yua to Chicago, Illinois.
Yua had a rather supporting foster family, she was treated like one of Ottawa tribe people and got along with everyone. Her foster father, Mayka (mi-kah) taught Yua how to survive off the land, often reminding Yua that "this was all in preparation for your destiny." Mayka taught Yua how to fish, hunt for food and even secrets that Mayka personally wanted no one to know because he kept those secrets reserved for specific "situations." When Yua was 10, her foster mother was caught in the crossfire of a gang shootout and unfortunately passed away and Mayka felt that Yua needed to learn more in case something would happen to him. Mayka called up an old friend of his, a Japanese man named Adam who was talented in using blades and making them. Yua would then spend two years training in other forms of combat regarding the art of the blade but as for Yua and Mayka, the two grew distant because of the extra empty chair Mayka's wife left when she died and any way of Yua getting Mayka to be a father figure and guide her through the two years were nothing but futile.
By the time Yua completed her extensive training with Adam, the Japanese man would receive shocking news that Mayka, Adam's dearest friend and colleague, had died in a freak accident at the metal refinery he worked at. Adam told Yua about the unfortunate news and felt that for as long as he walked this earth, he would care for his friend's child. Along the three years, she learned more than blades, she learned how to be advanced in thinking, how to prepare fine Japanese dishes and create a dish that could be great enough to gain the appraisal from Gordon Ramsay. Adam learned things from Yua and Yua learned from Adam, but the hard times would soon come head first when Adam would suffer a stroke when Yua was 15, leaving Yua to endure the hardships of Chicago: the ghettos. 
When Adam died, Yua began to lose herself mentally, no one from Mayka's family wanted to take care of her because of his connection with Adam, therefore making Yua a "cast off." Yua needed to make money to support herself by weaponizing the talents she acquired from Adam and Mayka. Yua eventually made connections with local gangs, having trouble killing someone for the first time but later doing hits with little remorse for the victim for whoever offered the most money, not by using a gun, but by the katana Adam had smithed for Yua as a reward for completing her training, the Diamondback katana, a katana of bloodiest diamonds that Adam had owned. At age 15, trouble would eventually stir up as anyone who paid Yua to kill someone would want to keep the full house in their pocket. As threats of violence stirred up among gangs and even cartels offering her a spot for work, Yua declined to work for any of the parties interested in her skills. The tension of violence calmed and everyone not only in the criminal underworld of Chicago but the cartels came to an agreement that it was better to get rid of Yua if she didn't want to work for anyone, even if she was just 15. A hit was placed on Yua, and she herself didn't know about it. 
When she was opening the apartment door after going to a corner store, Yua noticed 2 men outside her complex smoking a cigarette with a teenage boy around 16, Yua gets her fight-or-flight reflex and stabs one of the men, running upstairs to get a gun she kept stored to deal with the other man. Running up the stairs, she gets shot in the arm by the boy, falling down the stairs and at the shoes of the boy. The cartel man takes away the boy's gun and hands him a knife, telling him to be a man and kill Yua. Yua quickly finds the energy to throw her knife at the cartel man, it sticks him in the chest but does not kill him. The man begins to kick Yua and picks her up to face the scared boy, holding Yua's chin up to expose her throat, the cartel man begins to yell at the boy, telling him that if he doesn't do this, his father's reputation to the boss will crumble. Suddenly, the teenager swipes at Yua's throat and the cartel man drops Yua on the ground to leave her to bleed out and die. 
Yua dies after a few seconds, but not for long. Yua wakes up, only seeing flames and feeling the heat around her, assuming that this place she is in is hell. A deep voice calls her name and she approaches it. She meets Satan, who Yua described as a normal looking man wearing a suit and tie. Yua asks if she's been damned and the devil tells her that she has been a reprehensible person, listing all her sins and misdeeds as Yua becomes emotional in tears and remorse. After he lists the bad things Yua has done, he stays silent and slightly smiles, offering Yua a opportunity to live again in exchange for her soul when she is revived and to sacrifice her ability to feel any emotions such as love and only feel sadism and joy from murder until death. Yua accepts the offer to live out of impulse, a decision that haunts her even today, but better than her staying dead.
Once Yua shook the devil's hand, she immediately woke up, scaring the shit out of detectives and police who were on the scene and because seeing someone with a bleeding throat come back to life isn't an everyday thing, Yua felt the need to kill everyone on the scene. Knowing what she has done, she can't stay at Adam's apartment, so to cover up the murders, Yua gets gasoline and pours it all over Adam's apartment, one of the last instances of heartbreak she would feel again. She pulls the fire alarm to get everyone out of the opposite side of the burning complex.
== Personality and Mindset ==
Yua is often seen as a clumsy individual who can be easily amazed by what the rest of the League has to say. To the people who know her best like Ame and Amanda, this clumsy facade is Yua's friendly half of her old self doing her best to make friends but the other half (the demonic part of her) is using this part of her to get people put their guard down in case someone needs to be killed. From the sound of it, Yua seems to have dissociative identity disorder and the two personalities that she has are possibly co-existing to keep her alive. With one personality of being super friendly and being an airhead and the other being a personality that is cold, quiet, sometimes sarcastic and murderous urge, it would be like Yua could be utilizing these two to trick and manipulate people around her.
== Hobbies ==
Yua, although being very fucking menacing and intimidating, is good at a lot of things that doesn't involve stabbing a man. 
In her spare time at home, she maintains a little garden and takes care of a cherry blossom tree, she also is the trio's main income when it comes to food, since Amanda and Ame can't work together to make one dish without setting something on fire. Her food as described by Ame and Amanda is amazing, outside of those two, Joshua Peddler, the agent responsible for Operation 34R98, calls her "best damn food I ever put in my mouth." If she is bored, Yua will begin to inspect her knife collection and other fun objects that pique her curiosity. Like her sister, she will also drink wine and smoke weed.
== Interactions with Others ==
=== Ame ===
Yua gets along with Ame pretty well, but importantly, Yua feels as she needs to keep a close eye on Ame because of her depression issues. The two in action form a devastating combination, Yua with her skill at ranged weapons and blades and Ame with taking out anyone with any firearm. They will often throw sarcastic remarks at each other to communicate.
=== Amanda ===
Amanda and Yua are really good at working with each other, though Amanda admits that Yua scares her. Yua does seem to enjoy testing Amanda's patience because she finds it funny to bother her.
== Trivia ==
