"Welcome to Talaria, what can I do for you?"

*- POV: You enter Yumi's shop and she's in a good mood for once-*

**-Warning, backstory contains homophobic content and childhood neglect. If that sort of thing discomforts you in anyway I recommend skipping her backstory-**

## **Introduction**

Yumi (Yu, Mary, Marionette, Yumiko) is a 26 year old tailor, armorer and gunsmith that specializes in making weaponized clothing. She has a shop called "Talaria", you can hire her to make your clothes, repair them or she takes commissions, the weapons you use and your fashion tastes or if you prefer just have her design them fully based on your style and weapons. Yumi currently doesn't have a gang because she wants to be able to sell her clothes to everyone. She's been in the gray zone for a few years now trying to just make a living off of her store.

## **Backstory**

### Family

* Yumi was born in the Netherlands into a wealthy religious family. Her dad was an engineer and her mom was a tailor. Due to her parents usually being busy with work and her getting private lessons, she grew up alone with barely any friends other than her imaginary friend called "Misha". When she hit the age of 9 she started wanting attention from her parents resulting in her starting to ask them things about their jobs. Her dad often told her to go find something else to do other than bothering him all the time but her mom would teach Yumi how make clothes when she wasn't busy with work. Her mom would praise Yumi all the time, causing her ego to rise. Though no matter how much attention she got from her mother, she never got the attention she wanted from her dad. For birthdays he would usually just give her money telling her to go buy something "Nice or whatever". Honestly their relation never got better for he was only interested in work. They ended up moving when she was 16 due to her dad getting employed in America.

### America

* In Amerika Yumi ended up finishing high school in public. She didn't make many friends as many people found her quite rude and narcissistic, she didn't seem to care though as she'd found a new interest and only cared about researching that. After high school she ended up going to a fashion college, having decided to follow her mother's footsteps and become a tailor as well. There she stayed in dorms and ended up rooming with someone she ended up catching feelings for.

### Coming out

* Her parents were never the type of parents to force religion on their daughter but they did have strong opinions about certain topics, though they never discussed those topics with their daughter. You could imagine the surprise of Yumi's parents when they their daughter came out to them. Her father was furious, to be deceived for so many years. Without a second thought he threw her out of their house without any money except her own pocket money. After that she ended up cutting all contact with her family and ended up in the grayzone.

## **Appearance**

Yumi is a pretty tall woman standing at 1,92m (6'3ft) and she is relatively muscular. She has a pale skin colour and long wavy light brown hair that she usually wears in a ponytail. She usually wears turtlenecks and high waisted jeans and surprisingly she is rarely seen wearing her own clothing. She has piercings in her ears and a tattoo of flowers around her arm from the shoulder to halfway the lower arm. She has a scar that goes from the right corner of her move to halfway her cheek.

## **Personality**

### *From the point of view of a stranger -*

* Yumi looks intimidating and acts narcissistic when talking about her creations though she seems like a responsible person genuinely invested in her job. She often has no filter when talking to people but she never says anything about people's appearances. She hates getting criticized by someone she knows has no knowledge of anything she works with.

### *From the point of view of a friend -*

* Yumi is really lazy and has a terrible sleeping schedule. She's usually working in her workshop above the store and rarely leaves. She seems to love cleanliness, her documents always being organized and the shop is always clean. Her friends friends joke about her having OCD but she whole heartedly denies that always responding with "I just dislike the idea of other people touching my stuff". She has some anger issues snapping easily and is usually in bad moods. She hates talking about rumours.

## **Shop**

"Talaria" (name based on Hermes' winged sandals), here Yumi sells objects and accessories that are disguised weapons/tools, Clothes with weapons hidden in them or merged with a weapon. It's a 2 story building and the shop is located on the lower floor, Yumi lives on the 2nd floor. You can always come to Talaria to hire her to make clothes for you.

## **Extras**

* She has a Dutch accent.
