Ci Yaoyu

Ci YaoYu (慈雅瑜) is a professional football player who currently plays as a Wide Midfielder, Winger and Wingback for [TBA] and the Japanese National Team.

He is part Australian, Chinese, who now lives in Japan. He grew up alone, due to his parents, well, vanishing. He doesn't have a last name, but he was called Ci YaoYu by other chinese kids when he was younger, more because of his hair colour and style. One day he got up, at the age of 8, he snuck into a tattoo shop and used the colour dim cyan/blue to draw a heart directly below his right eye. He used that as a sign of "Mean" but he changed the meaning to "Sting" when he turned 10.

It is unknown how he ended up in Japan, but he eventually joined Hakuho High, where he started practicing soccer to impress a girl he liked. Over time he improved, developing a taste for football, until he received the letter to participate in the Blue Lock Project, where he initially became a member of Team V-1 (the Team V of the 1st Stratum).

After advancing through the second and third selections, he became a member of Manshine City in the Neo Egoist League. He was progressing really smoothly, he was satisfied, but not enough. After the NEL, he was offered to play for [TBA].

For not deciding in time about his Japanese naturalization, he ended up being left out of the Blue Lock Eleven, in the match against Japan's U20. His main objective is to become the best in soccer to achieve females liking him, and to make it a flex to his mates.

## Appearance

Ci YaouYu is a slim tall boy, whose eyes are slim and longed towards the edge, a dark cyan fading to orange. His skin is often pale, hair is roughly towards the ends of his armpits, bright cyan fading to orange. His appearance can often be seen as messy, especially the ends of his hair where its fluffy. He has a tattoo of a small heart under his right eye, in the shade of dark blue/cyan, which symbolises "Sting" to him.

## Personality

Ci is normally a hard worker, especially for the ladies attention, though he can be a handful around males. He is a picky eater, and worse, an irritated guy. He is mostly seen hanging out with females around his age. He can take excellent responsibility of himself. He is an extrovert, he's more talkative with males that have the same humour as him, and is more obedient when it comes to games. He is extra nervous when he talks to females, or when they come up to him to ask for his number. In addition, he is a person that likes to stay tidy, but it's only his appearance that doesn't bother him when he seems messy.

Besides wears the standard-issued body suit (black with blue-gray stripes) and tracksuit of Blue Lock, interestingly, Ci achieved the feat of having jersey #8 available at all stages of Blue Lock and even on his high school team. He has been seen in the uniforms of Hakuho High, Team V-1 (the team V of the 1st Stratum), and Manshine City during the NEL.

## Abilities

### Archetype

* **Wing-Back:** The wing-back aims to attack the opponent's goal by driving to the byline for a cross, or cutting inside to overload. They need to be technically proficient and fast enough to do so and if their dominant leg is the opposite of their flank, they can be a potent attacker on goal.

Ci YaoYu is a versatile, fast and intense player who explores the wings to overcome his opponents with his speed, either offensively or defensively. He plays in all positions that explore the sides of the field, even being able to play on the opposite side of his dominant foot. In addition to his natural speed fitting this position very well, he chose it because it allows him to get closer to the crowd, especially the girls on the edge of the pitch!

### Skills

**Professional Football Technique:** Ci has drawn attention for being a player with excellent physical attributes and recovery speed. A tireless player who makes long runs down the wings throughout the match. His main market remains in the English League, being targeted by the main Premier League clubs.

**Explosive Speed:** Ci Yaoyu is capable of reaching high speeds with far above average acceleration. He uses this weapon to overcome his opponents and In addition to this acceleration, he has the endurance to maintain this speed for an extended duration

* **High-Speed Pressure:** Ci is able to utilise his speed in a defensive manner, by quickly moving across the field to hound whoever is in possession of the ball. This pressure can force errors in opponent's and easily allows Ci's team to set up traps.

**High Stamina:** Another outstanding weapon of Ci Yaoyu is his stamina. He manages to maintain this consistency of box-to-box runs through the wings throughout the entire match, functioning as a sort of *"the lung*" of the team.

**Reflex**: Ci is a very flexible player who acts instinctively without fear of diving to the ground when necessary. That Reflex skill that was improved in Blue Lock, was crucial for his defensive development.

* **Stingray-Sting**: Due to his defensive training, Ci optimized his Tackle and Sliding Tackle techniques, taking inspiration from the stingray's defense mechanism. They are usually plays that involve a quick and dangerous attempt to disarm, which draws the public's attention both for its effectiveness and for the dangerous fouls he sometimes commits.

* **Stingray-Dive:** Interestingly, the way he throws himself while appearing carefree, aims to seek amplitude with the extension of his arms, similar to a stingray, creating a gap between himself and opponents, to fight for space and protect himself.

**Crossing**: In addition to his speed, Ci is an air-pass oriented player, providing assists mainly through his crosses into the penalty area.

* **No-Look Cross:** Due to Ci's instinctive behavior, a good part of his attacks ended up in an automatic cross to the area without even considering whether he had a teammate to receive the ball. As he improved his tactical knowledge, the technique started to work even better, making it difficult for markers to figure out when he will cross the ball.

**Piercing Dart**: Currently, Ci's only kicking technique. It's the result of a sprint down the wing and a sudden diagonal cut that usually causes the shot to be landed with his non-dominant foot. As a result, the shot is not very accurate, but surprises with occasional curves, landing in the opposite corner of the goal.

## Etymology

The name Ci YaoYu (慈雅瑜) means "Stingray". He was named after the hair colours he was born with, which is natural. He doesn't have a last name, he doesn't remember, but he does go by "Ci" from close friends (which literally means Sting or Stingray).
