Yūrei Hakujo

*"I guess I really don't have much of a presence..."*

**Yūrei Hakujo** is the princess of the Spirit Kingdom, and a ghost.

## Appearance

Yūrei has long wavy hair that gets slightly darker as it reaches her legs and short curly hair in the front. Her bangs fully cover her forehead. She is wearing flower headdresses in both sides of her head, although the one on the right side is slightly higher than the other and has gold dangles. She has sakura colored nails and pink rosy lips. Yūrei also has bright pink eyes.

She has a princess-like empire dress but also has exposed shoulders with a pink flower in the middle. The cloth wraps around her body line, showing a dangerous female sensuality. Her black under dress has embroidery of flowers and butterflies in the middle which is asymmetrical on her sleeves. The choker she is wearing has black star-shaped stones and a sakura in the middle which holds the black beads and the pink teardrop-shaped stones below.

## Personality

Yūrei is a shy girl with a soft ambition through most situations. She appears very calm and worries often about her self confidence around others.

Yūrei's shyness does not, however, mean she is unable to appreciate positive attention or enjoy a good laugh. It simply means her standards for feeling comfortable are higher than the average person's.

She's also very curious about the world, being a smart girl who enjoys exploring and observing the world from a distance. She's just as brave as she is delicate, though, and if she recognizes an issue as her own or from her fault, she will work hard to solve it, even if it depends on her unlife.

Yūrei refers to herself as "bad" and "terrible". It's unclear what brought her to this conclusion, as they don't appear to be solely caused by immediate events. Despite being shy, she can sometimes be friendly if she wants to be.

## Powers and Abilities

**Immateriality**: Being a ghost, Yūrei is able to pass through walls by immateriality.

**Floating**: She can float much like any ghost.

**Invulnerability**: She's immune to any harmful physical attacks, as they pass through her.

**Telekinesis**: She is able to move virtually anything with her mind if she has enough concentration on the objects.

**Voice Mimicry**: She can perfectly imitate others' voices.

**Inodorosity**: Her body possesses no discernible scent, allowing her to evade those who have Enhanced Smell among other things.

**Invisibility**: Yūrei can render herself unseen by the naked eye and become invisible in visible spectrum. She can move about an environment unseen by others and act without being observed.

## Trivia

* Her first name consists of two kanji, 幽 (*yū*), meaning "faint" or "dim" and 霊 (*rei*), meaning "soul" or "spirit". Her name also comes from the Japanese spirit Yūrei. If the person dies in a sudden or violent manner such as murder or suicide, if the proper rites have not been performed, or if they are influenced by powerful emotions such as a desire for revenge, love, jealousy, hatred or sorrow, the *reikon* is believed to transform into a *yūrei* which can then bridge the gap back to the physical world. Even innocuous thoughts can cause a death to become disturbed. Once a thought enters the mind of a dying person, their *yūrei* will come back to complete the action last thought of before returning to the cycle of reincarnation. The *yūrei* then exists on Earth until it can be laid to rest, either by performing the missing rituals, or resolving the emotional conflict that still ties it to the physical plane. If the rituals are not completed or the conflict left unresolved, the *yūrei* will persist in its haunting.
* Yūrei has a marking on her chest, looking like the Arcana of the Magician, another one on her left thigh, looking like the Arcana of the Wheel of Fortune, and one final one on the back, looking like the Lovers Arcana.
