Yumi

*"I have to take a picture of this!"* —Yumi

*Yumi* is an unlockable Investigator in White Noise 2.

## Description

Yumi has recently inherited her grandfather's old camera.

She's convinced that the strange shapes and symbols shown in the pictures aren't just because of the device's age...

### Appearance

Yumi is a female of average height with a light skin tone. Her hair is black and is put in a ponytail with a purple hair tie. She has brown eyes with a beauty mark underneath her left eye. She wears a navy blue school uniform with a school emblem on her sleeves. Underneath the uniforms are a white undershirt and red tie. Her uniform has a silver lining and buttons. She also has an old camera that formerly belonged to her grandfather around her neck. She wears white and blue sneakers.

## Stats and Traits

Yumi's Stats
 Exploration
 Stealth
 Vitality

### Traits

* CURIOUS: Yumi's Speed increases by 5% when her flashlight is on and has over 50% battery life.
* DISTRACTED: Yumi's Stealth and Exploration are reduced by 10% when further than 15m to other investigators.

## Tips

Yumi is a very easy investigator to play as. She has great Speed, which is increased when CURIOUS is active, as well as good Endurance and Bravery. Those three stats give her a good guarding ability and help her flee from The Creature. However, her below-average Exploration and Stealth are decreased when DISTRACTED is taking effect, preventing her from leading and splitting too well. While her below-average Vitality will cause the Speed penalty when grabbed to worsen, her high base Speed and Endurance rarely makes this an issue.

Yumi's glaring flaw is her poor Flashlight stat. As her flashlight will lose battery life very quickly, CURIOUS will be in effect for much less time. However, Yumi should not take every battery, as the speed boost from the trait usually isn't enough to make a difference. Her poor Flashlight stat also keeps her from caboosing and stunning the Creature from afar. If Yumi takes too many Batteries, her teammates won't be able to fulfill their roles, putting the team at a disadvantage.

## Trivia

* Yumi and Nikolai are the first investigators added after Santiago Orozco left Milkstone Studios.
	+ Yumi and Nikolai are also the last Investigators to be released without unique voices, as in Update #6: Ancient Wisdom, each Investigator was given a unique voice actor instead of sharing voice clips from a sound library.
* Yumi is the only Investigator in all three White Noise games whose voice actor shares their first name with an Investigator, specifically Sarah.
* Yumi is the only character to be mentioned directly in another Investigator's description, specifically Jin's.
* Yumi is the first and currently only Investigator to not have any stat be at a value of 5.
	+ This doesn't apply to her Cute and Wonderful skins, as Cute lowers her Bravery while Wonderful increases Exploration while reducing Endurance.
* Yumi's Groupie skin is named Rockstar in her reference image.
* Yumi's Wonderful skin is a reference to Alice in Wonderland, a notable Disney film released in 1951.
* Yumi, Denali, and Shaira are the only characters who have an timed skin use an alternate skin's model. In Yumi's case, her Christmas skin uses the Groupie skin.
