## Background

Yuriko was born to Hideki and Aiko Takara in Tacoma, Seattle. Their only child, she was treated like a princess and could do no wrong. She was taught respect, manners and compassion to others and she was the light of her fathers' eye. Her name, in japanese, translates to precious child. She was always well behaved, and always strived to impress her father. She looked up to him, always thinking he was the smartest person in the world. He valued a kind heart and an intelligent mind. Though her father worked as a Kaikei (Lawyer) in the Shotozumi-gumi, who observed the traditionalist ways, he was secretly a supporter of some of the new ways that new clans adapted to. Her mother was a gentle woman, and was considered a rose for her gracious ability to put any one at ease. Tragically she was diagnosed with early onset alzheimers. At first she took it with grace and good humor, until the disease progressed past the point of being controllable by medication. This is the point when Yuriko awakened. A friend of her father's, Kuriyama, one of the Kumon (Specialists) was visiting to deliver some papers when her mother became upset because she couldn't remember Yuriko. At the tender age of nine, her powers manifested from a deep need for her mother to remember her. Kuriyama witnessed her aura glowing when she managed to calm her mother down enough to recognize her. He mentioned it to her father, who found a discreet way to have her tested.

Not one to waste an opportunity, he asked around and discovered that the Kumon desired strong magicians who can manipulate mind magic. His treasured daughter already showed an affinity for that kind of magic, so he encouraged her to strengthen it through study with a shinto priestess who had knowledge and was a family friend. He also wanted her tol earn diffreent kinds of spells to protect herself. Being a doting daughter, she followed his wishes without another thought in her head. All she thought was, 'I can help Mother and Father'.

As she grew into an intelligent young woman, she was well read and studied every day. She bloomed into a woman like her mother, to her father's great pride. But turning into a woman while in a gilded cage allowed the seeds of rebellion to take hold. With every job the Kumon took her on, she showed nothing but grace and skill. But deep down, she wanted more. More then a tool for their own use, more then the perfect daughter her father needed her to be. She started taking small trips to find outside work. Something that could sate her need for excitement, a chance to stretch her legs and be something other then perfect.

Thats when she met Mr. Tanaka.

A man who happens upon jobs for shadowrunners. She, of course, had heard stories about shadowrunners from the other members. Their voices always dripping with disdain at their mention. But she was always interested in the dangerous and uncontrollable people that called themselves that. So when Mr.Tanaka mentioned an opportunity to start doing runner work, she eagerly agreed. And started secretly going on runs when she knew her father wouldn't miss her.

Until one night, she was with a group infiltrating a blacksite, they happened to come up against a group of mercs protecting the exterior. One of whom was an infected. She got separated from the group and was cornered by her. She was no match for the Vampires strength and speed, and for some reason her magic wasn't able to penetrate the womans' mind. Due to her own carelessness and inexperience she was attacked and left for dead. One of the runners came across her barely alive body and rushed her to a street doctor who was able to bring her back from the brink. But with bad news. She is no longer human. She is no longer the person she was before.

She is infected.

As soon as she can move on her own, she returned home. Making up some story that she was accepted into law school so she could one day follow in her fathers footsteps. She packed only the important things that she couldn't bear to leave behind, and runs. She takes residence at their condo in downtown until she can figure out how to live, and feed. All she knows is, the Yakuza could never find out the truth, much less her Father. It would break his heart, and she couldn't do that to him. So she hides what she is, and embraces the life of a shadow runner. That's all she can do now..
