*- Yumi Konpaku*

## Biography

**Yumi Konpaku** (裕美　妖夢 *Konpaku Yumi*) is a half-human half-phantom who lives in the Netherworld as a princess, gardener, samurai, and swordplay instructor, who also serves for her mother and father, which she is an elemental master of ghost and phantom and she is a powerful ghost of all netherworld and the Third strongest of the elemental world. She belongs to the subspecies of phantoms called the "half-human half-phantoms" (半人半霊 *"hannin hanrei" or "hanjin hanrei"*). Half-human half-phantoms are the mixed-race of phantoms and humans (幽霊と人間のハーフ), which have a largish phantom accompanying them and a relativity long life span compared to humans. The phantom that always follows them is called the "half-phantom" (半霊、半幽霊 *hanrei, hanyuurei*), and they are the other half of their body. In the netherworld, it was supposed that Yumi's human half manipulates the phantom half consciously.

## Appearance

Yumi has short silver hair and blue phantasm eyes, outfit generally consists of a aquamarine vest and skirt over a white undershirt with several ghost insignia's along the edges of the skirt and one on the breast pocket of her vest. She wears a black bow-tie and hairband with black ribbon tied off-center in her hair. She carries the Roukanken; a long katana with a large white tassel on the handle and the Hakurouken; a wakizashi (Short Japanese sword). Her ghostly half is a white phantom as large as her human self, sometimes referred to as *myon.*

She has slight alterations in each of her appearances. Her hair became white and her eyes became silver, Her insignia's are different and her phantom half gains a snake-like head. Her swords has also changed in appearance, In *The Unknown Wonders Series*, the Roukanken had a cherry blossom insignia and a flower attached to it, and the Roukanken gains a standard katana handle with red light particles along the blade and the hakurouken has a blue handle and has small souls along its blade.

## Personality

As she has a straightforward diligent, brave, sweet, calm, and pacifism personality, and she particularly excels at instantaneous force and concentration power, as literally stated by her mother, "truth-slashing is something which you know", so she often performs tsujigiri-like moves, she is calm around phantoms since she is half phantom herself.

She has strong sensitivity, and in the good ending of Imperishable Night, her human half was unable to resist the insanity-inducing effects of the true Moon, causing her to become "half-insane". She is afraid of ghost stories, dares, and darkness, but she is calm around phantoms since she is half phantom herself.

## Etymology

* Her full name is *Yumi Konpaku* (裕美　妖夢). The characters for *Konpaku* (魂魄) means "soul" and *Yumi* (裕美) probably means "Abundance, and Beauty" in the context regarding her characteristic. Bear in mind that the "n" is an "m" sound; this is because it flows more smoothly in Japanese when it's before a "p" sound. Although both *kon* (魂) and *paku* (魄) means "soul", their elements are different. *Kon* stands for a "mental" soul, which is separated from a body as soon as human dies and ascends to Heaven; *paku* is a "physical" soul, which remains in the body a few days and goes back to the Earth. In this case, *kon* is Yumi's ghostly half, and *paku* is the human half. The entire Konpaku family is comprised of half-phantom half-humans
