Yoko

## Background

Yoko was an optimistic child since she was old enough to smile and speak and walk. The girl lived a good life with her parents and elder sister Yumi. They didn’t have a lot and could at times barely afford to feed themselves but her parents managed until finally they inherited the market from her grandmother once she died. With her mother’s charm and her father’s business know how their future became brighter by the day.

Yoko attended every year of school just as Yumi had and the girl passed all of the levels set for her. With a proper education she was now ready to face the world and do anything she set her mind to. However, tragedy struck a little while after Yumi left to serve in the ranks of the police as a forensic scientist. Her mother and father grew ill and rapidly deteriorated leaving Yoko the only able body to ensure the market remained stable. Their livelihood at stake, Yoko stepped up and took the reigns and though her parents passed she was strong and had decided to carry on and though times have been hard for the young woman she’s never lost her ability to shine in the darkness and bear good will toward all.

Later on Yoko met Sai Tagune, a wonderfully handsome gentleman who seemed to be able to laugh with her and cry with her. He was a kind person who lit her heart aflame and not long after that and a beautiful wedding came.

**2016**

During the outbreak Yoko was shocked to be faced with Sai and at the behest of his insistance

she hid herself from the monsters outside in the fridge of her market. The woman was pregnant with Kanome at the time and that alone was enough to ensure Sai fought off the attackers with a curse she was not yet aware of. Time passed and she became that her love was a monster although like so many others not at all by his will. It gave her a new outlook to the situation and realization that not every one of the ghouls were terrible people and they were simply attempting to survive just as anyone else were.

Together the two were determined to do good for his kind and her own by creating a group of like minded individuals dubbed 'Heiwa' which meant peace. Their intentions were to one day make co-existing without violence among the human population possible. It was cut short however when a fiendish beast killed Sai and left Yoko alone to raise their tiny half breed alone. The group dwindled off to be owned by another person while she a grieving widow took her daughter and sheltered her throughout most of her young life. Whether it was the pain of seeing what became of most ghouls or fear or possibly both, she consciously ignored the 'other side' of Kanome and taught her only the ways of becoming 'normal' like any human her age.

This included feeding her prepared flesh rather than indulging her need to hunt and as a result Kanome grew to become impaired and weak. Although this was all the child knew since her birth and so she was resigned to believe that she was just a sickly girl vulnerable to the outside world. The market never closed however and Yoko still served meals to ghouls who came for them and any human as well.

**2018**

After Kanome went missing she became extremely distraught filled with worry for her child. There was no trace of her anywhere and not even Kinu Kin who had become a very close friend to both her and Kanome could find her. Now every face passing by of a little girl looks like her daughter and she can swear she hears her crying out somewhere in the world missing her mother as much as she misses her.

## Personality

Yoko is an exceptionally kind person who offers her market to the unfortunate souls without money to pay for meals or a place to rest. Ghoul or human she doesn't mind although much tragedy befallen in her life could be linked directly to the outbreak she never lost hope for them.

When she is alone she is prone to depression that keeps her in her bed for prolonged periods of time and causes her not to eat sufficiently. Losing Sai was one of the worst things that had ever happened to her and she could never overcome what has happened between them.

## Appearance

Sun shine yellow hair crops at the low of her jaw with bangs fallen loosely around her forehead. She has bright sapphire eyes with a twinkle for all who stare at her and who smile. Her skin is pale like a peach and she wears casual comfortable clothing without preference for color.

## Arsenal

Her sister Yumi is a Quinque developer for the CCG. After Sai's death it was Yoko's desire that his Kagune was used to make a Quinque especially for her so that in times of dire need she could have a prayer of protecting Kanome. Many ghouls target her when they are on the streets because she is a half-breed and a weak one at that. It is made of Bikaku specimen and worn like guantlets, when they are activated a concentrated energy corporeal brilliant and green extend like ghostly arms to do the bidding of the gloves. She is rather proficient with her weapon thanks to training from Yumi and has beaten a few no goods around a time or two.
