## Personality

One might find Usagi much more vulgar than a lawyer should be. The circumstances regarding her law lisencse getting revoked aggravate her to no end. Since she's no longer a lawyer, she finds no reason to hid her frustrations. She is a stubborn person who never admits when she's wrong. No one has ever seen her lose an argument. This is only made more impressive considering that she always jumps at the oppurtunity to banter. As an ambitious girl, Usagi likes to have big goals and is very dedicated to fufilling these goals.

Usagi is also very reluctant to reveal why she’s no longer an ultimate.

## History

#### Early Life

The name Usagi yoshikawa might ring a bell for anyone who keeps up with the news, whether it be due to her remarkable skills a defense lawyer, or for her recent arrest on charges of first-degree arson. As much as she'd like to be remembered only for the former, it's not like she can do anything about it from the discomfort of her prison cell.

Where did it all go wrong? All she wanted to do was to lower the whopping 99% conviction rate in Japan. When she was eight, her father was falsely incriminated, and ever since that day, Usagi swore that she'd become a defense lawyer in order to prevent the same thing from happening to others. Not only was it unfair how her father went to prison for a crime he didn't commit, but how Usagi's mother's personality completely soured. Stressed out from having to overwork herself in order to provide for the two of them, usagi's mother often took out her anger on her daughter, though she never hit her, Usagi despised how her mom mistreated her.

Thus, Usagi got an idea: she could start spending her afterschool time at the local library. That way, she wouldn't have to stay with her mother at her job all day and she could instead study how to become a defense lawyer like she dreamed. Once she turned 12, her mother allowed her to stay at the library on her own. There, Usagi befriended a librarian named Tsukiko. Lather on, when she was 15, Usagi got a part-time job at the library, and not too long after, met a boy named Minori who just so happened to get a job at the same time. These years of her life were probably Usagi’s favorite. she had a lot of fun hanging our with her friends.

Usagi spent about three and a half years studying law at the library (basically she just borrowed law books all the time) before applying for the bar exam. Around this time, her father finally came home from prison. surprisingly enough, usagi's mother became much kinder, and it seemed like things were going to go back to the way they were before. sure, usagi's mother would still need to work hard to support the family since usagi's father couldn't get a job with his criminal record, but they were happy.

That is, until Usagi’s mother died of heart failure merely weeks before usagi's bar exam. It was likely due to all the overworking she did while usagi's father was still in jail. The costs of the hospital bills and the funeral were enough to put the yoshikawa family in debt. Not wanting to make things even worse by failing the bar exam, usagi devoted all of her time to studying for that test instead of properly mourning her mother's death. To this day, she doesn't know how to feel about it. but why should she think about something that won't help her job? all it'll do is distract her by making her sad.

A few weeks, Usagi miracously passed the bar exam, which gave her a huge adrenaline rush considering how high the stakes were and she was able to work on her first case at the age of 16. Wanting to chase the thrill she got after passing her bar exam, she took on a case that seemed nearly impossible. somehow, she got lucky again and won. The streak went on for 8 cases and Usagi quickly became famous for her skills.

During her 9th case, Usagi was the defendant. Minori was still in need of money, so he burned his house down for the insurance money. it ended up killing his brother, who he didn’t realize was inside. when the authorities found clues that the fire was done on purpose, minori immediately pinned the blame on usagi because he figured that she could defend herself, being the Ultilate lawyer and all.

As mad as she was at minori for throwing her under the bus like that, Usagi also thought that she’d be capable enough to defend herself. due to her arrogance, she never accepted help.

Unfortunately, that was her downfall. She ended up losing the case because she couldn’t think clearly from all the stress. Usagi was sentenced to 15 years in prison and is currently serving out that sentence.
