Yuki

"*History shall declare who was in the right on these chosen days, I should know. I spent most of my years with someone who made it.*"
—Yuki declaring herself before Lord Yasha Shen

**Yuki** *(由紀 Yuki)* is the current de-facto leader of *The Pact of the Shattered Star* and the primary cause behind The Rise of the Runelords. As **The White Moon** she is feared for her ruthlessness and power. Claiming to be a direct descendant of the ancient elves of Thassilon and the reincarnation of Yuki Sanada.

Originally a follower of Kumani Date, she and his followers were able to in the span of but a few years disrupt the very foundations of the world.

**Yuki**: "*Perhaps they have..*"
— Yuki's pride in her appearance

Considered an apex of beauty, Yuki's features are that of Usian descent, with her hair a deep-jet black and dark eyes. Resembling her human mother. Her pointed Elven ears were her only mark of her father, in her infancy, she was said to be like a jewel of the stars, plucked onyx from the tail of the cosmos. Following her tutelage with Kumani Date, she began to glamour herself to have paler skin, pinkish-white hair and forest green eyes.

Despite being only sixteen, she is considered to be the most beautiful woman most men have laid their eyes upon and many doubt someone who could rival said beauty.

## Personality

Yuki's personality is ambiguous. For the most part she is sweet, feminine, and oddly enough, even shy. Yet in truth, this is all a mask that hides away her dark and sanguinary side— Truly at her core, Yuki is an evil being who relishes in pain, death, destruction, fear, and power. Yet hiding this nefarious personality, Yuki will often display a civilized and refined demeanour, speaking with a polite or even eloquent nature. Methodical to a fault. She is known to commonly utilize dark humour, making tasteless jokes and twisted mockery of anything she deems to be below her. Yuki is fully aware of her growing reputation for brutality and makes no effort to deny it, but instead revels in it, treating it as a compliment.

However, she was not always like this. In her youth she was a quiet and reserved girl who held an extremely strong relationship with her brother. Although it is currently unknown how Yuki has become like this, it is doubtful any know due to her secretive behaviour.

While Yuki herself is a cold-blooded killer who very much cares little for the lives she meets. She has never once attempted to harm her family, and will in fact go to great lengths to ensure their safety. In fact, her adoration of her adoptive brother Kumani Date borders on what could be described as love or kinship. This has not stopped her from mocking his name in passing due to his death at the hands of Tatsuya Ashikage.

Yuki is known to be something of a perfectionist, expecting nothing less than total victory from her subordinates as any failure in her eyes will be met with the most extreme of punishments.

Yuki takes an almost child-like glee in her adoration of dominance, control, and destruction, as she shows directly in her enjoyment of the Raid on Sandpoint, as well as her maniacal glee of making her enemies suffer before she kills them. Tybalt Weiss has described her as the most callous, selfish, temperamental, despicable, and megalomaniacal person without any sympathetic or redeeming traits the world has ever known. Worse so, she revels in these titles. Despite all of this, Yuki is not a psychopath, more akin to a malignant narcissist.

Yuki has a strong belief in the concept of soul-mates and reincarnation, claiming to be Yuki Sanada reborn. She is under the assumption that Tatsuya Ashikage still in fact lives, a large portion of her time is spent attempting to locate the Elf to the border of obsession. Yuki has rejected even the touch of another man out of fear of being sullied before Tatsuya reaches her, her obsession has warped her mind to the borders of insanity, something Tybalt has commented on quite frequently.

Yuki's enormous ego is comparable to that of emperors or kings. Because of her high opinion of herself, she tends to react to any given situation relatively evenly. Accordingly, Yuki is overtly confident in her abilities, commonly referring to others as lower than her in the pecking order, and often cherishes the opportunity to mock them. Due to her training from Kumani Date, Yuki has grown a viewpoint that sees herself as among the most powerful users of the art in history and the greatest swordswoman who has ever lived. As a consequence, Yuki believes no force can challenge her authority. Owing to her arrogance, Yuki generally refrains from fighting. Instead, she relies on The Shattered Star to deal with challengers, and only personally confronts her foes when forced to do so. Overall, Yuki seems to simultaneously possess a superiority and inferiority complex, as she has commented in a moment of weakness that she fears that she will never live up to Kumani Date's power and lacks the power to impress Karzoug.

Yuki arguably desires one sole thing in her life; Tatsuya Ashikage. Although her attempt to revive Thassilon is founded more on her misanthropy and promise to her adoptive brother. Tatsuya is an outlier in her goal, something Edmond Turing has commented on, claiming that both of her goals contradict one another as Tatsuya supposedly holds an animosity towards Thassilon and should she locate him and bring him into her fold, he would only serve to stop the revival of both Karzoug and his empire.

## Relationships

Akira Taketora
"The monk?.. ..I am surprised he still retains his name in that hollow mind of his, I'd claim it were a tragedy yet nobody weeps for him. He's useful when it comes to the thorns that grow in our side and thankfully he holds enough consciousness that he knows that I will snuff his little light should he step out of line."
Tybalt Weiss
"Lord Weiss is a respectful man who dominates any room he walks into, I respect his admission to power. However, you cannot tame a man such as that. Much like big brother he is too prideful to admonish defeat, he has yet to step too far out of line and his selfish desire to close himself off to the world bothers me not. Yet I cannot help but feel that he will bring conflict to our goal sooner or later."
Edmond Turing
"A wonderful gentleman, bright and understanding. It is a wonder he has not received the praises of his lessers. The man helped raise me and taught me most of what I know now. Even if he is plagued by his birth, he has earned the right to live in the great empire of Thassilon as a citizen and not a slave. It is only fair after all he has done for me."
Tatsuya Ashikage
"**Tatsuya Shiroi Ashikage**.. ..Born in the Ashikage estate, October 31st. Although in Thassilon they recorded their months differently, in regards to the calendar of man it would translate to such. Where do I even start with him, he's like my rock, my goal and my end. Big brother would tell me how in the early days of Thassilon he and I would hide alone and feed one another sorbet. He's out there, alive. I forgive him for the murder of my brother, I forgive him for his hatred. He left me the first time because he was blind but now I can help him see, see that our home can return to us and we can try again. As a family."
Kumani Date
"**The Royal Ibis**, bringer of Thassilon's heaven and the only family that has cared for me. He saved me from the horrors of my previous kin and taught me the truth of my life. Once I was blind but he let me see, his name should be screamed from the rooftops of every living abode, he is the closest the world has to a hero. He's the only hero I've ever known. His sacrifice though painful, was a lesson. A lesson that I must ensure his dream is made and that Tatsuya, his closest friend is saved."
