Yura is a gossip and student at SOL Academy. Although she sees the world in color, her appearance is completely grayscale, and anything she touches temporarily turns black and white (except for living things).

## Behavior and Personality

Yura is assertive, brave, impatient, and stubborn. She's quick to make decisions, both situationally and about people. Once she's jumped to a conclusion, it's hard to convince her that it's anything but true. She tends to assume the worst, leading her to spread nasty, often false or misleading rumors. However, her sharp eye and intuition also let her pick up on others' characteristics that most wouldn't notice. She's skilled in debate, questioning, and threats, all of which she engages in frequently.

### Anxiety

Yura is almost always irritable, a result of her anxiety. She seems on edge much of the time and snaps at people with little provocation. Yura often becomes interrogative during conversations, and can get angry or even aggressive when she feels like someone is hiding something from her, no matter how trivial. She has an intense fear of being lied to or left out of the loop, feeding her urge to eavesdrop or "investigate" on her own.

### Sexuality

Coming from a society where sexuality (especially that of young women) is suppressed, Yura is uncomfortable with sexual topics and sometimes acts like the "horny police." Because of this, she sees sexuality everywhere and is quick to make assumptions--and judgments--about others' relationships. She's yet to come to terms with her own bisexuality despite being generally accepting of queer people and has anxiety related to her own "impure" thoughts, however normal they may be for her age.

## Abridged Backstory

Yura lived in the pseudo-Japan world of *Emira's Adventures*, a fictional, slice-of-life manga series where she served as a primary rival to the main character, Emira. Yura comes from a wealthy and overbearing family that expected confidence out of her at all times. Being active in the community, they pushed her not only to succeed in school, but also in a number of extracurriculars such as track, piano, and the newspaper club. One of the greatest pressures in her life was her great-grandfather, who lived into his 90s and was why she learned the piano.

### Her Parents

Yura had a good relationship with her mom and dad up until she found out that they had secretly been divorced for six years and were only still living together to save face. This crushed her. She developed major trust problems, and her need to always be in the know worsened.

## Appearance

Yura is a 5'6" Japanese human. She has long, straight, dark gray hair with dark-colored eyes and a flower by her ear. She typically wears frilled tops or sleeveless turtlenecks, checkered skirts, black leggings, and tennis shoes.
