## Biography

### Childhood and Early Life (1968 - 1982)

8 February 1968, a baby was born into the Kanzaki Clan, a family of lily farmers in the Namba Region of West Seian and given the name Yuria, reflecting on their agricultural trade. The second of four children, Yuria became the child to look after the younger children after her older brother was taken for special education, to prepare him for the future inheritance of their farms. Being the caretaker, Yuria learnt how to manage the stress levels of Seianese life as she was often helping her mother with the housework, as well as juggling her studies and extra-curricular activities, on top of other activities. Keeping a pet was out of the question, but Yuria spent her early life playing with a local farm cat, earning the animal's trust after plenty of bites and scratches.

These challenges hammered a mentality of independence and reliability in the girl, but took its toll on her social life as she grew. Slowly, Yuria began to lack time to hang out with her friends, forced to watch over her sickly mother and siblings during a disease epidemic near the farms. While medicine was available in Heian, they were too weak to travel and the loss of the year's crop meant that they lacked the money to call doctors over to treat them. Instead, Yuria picked up knowledge on medicinal herbs and basic chemistry, creating herbal medicines which relieved the pain and weakness of those affected. By the time the epidemic ended, Yuria's schoolmates had found new cliques to hang out with, delinquents who Yuria did not take a liking to.

With that said, Yuria began to drift astray of her dreams of being an engineer as loneliness grew in her heart. Her father was often outside with her brother, and her younger siblings were sent to Tiananmen to live with her aunt. Because of her constant reliability over the years, Yuria was told of her family's plan to keep her at the farm, and marry a rich businessman in the future. It was during one of her family trips that Yuria caught the eye of a son belonging to one of Seian's agricultural tycoons, and an arranged marriage was being planned behind her back.

Incensed by this news, Yuria left the house after a big quarrel, her father nearly declaring her disowned while her mother begged Yuria not to leave. Undeterred, Kanzaki Yuria left home at the age of 13, taken in by a kind cousin who provided her with a room and board, and enrolling her into one of Ansan's Gifted Schools and the local Youth Flying Club, where her cousin worked as an instructor.

### The Youth Flying Club and Challenges (1982 - 1986)

While many thought that someone with Yuria's background would not be able to make it far in life, the girl persevered in her studies and aced her annual exams, while also being a hard worker at the local educational airstrip near Park Air Force Base. Cleaning planes and fixing their parts became a routine to Yuria, as she worked on biplanes and small Cessnas used by the instructors to teach their pupils the basics of flying. Being oily and covered in grease after a hard day of reading was Yuria's way of coping with stressing, and soon her interest shifted to these magnificent machines, Yuria often taking a while to observe the J-7s taking off from Park Airbase.

Her interest was noticed by her cousin, who was a former aerobatics pilot. On her fifteenth birthday, Yuria sat in the cockpit of a Cessna 162 Skycatcher, her cousin showing her the controls while he took her for a ride. The experience was an unforgettable one for little Yuria, as she often pestered her cousin to take her up once more. The request was met with a challenge - Score a perfect grade in school for the next two years while keeping to her commitments in the Club, and he will use his connections in the Air Force to recruit Yuria as a pilot in Seian's move to include females in the ranks of their pilots.

The challenge did not daunt Yuria, as she worked twice as hard, cutting down on her leisure time. No more movies, shopping or even eating out. Her friends would see her in school, chat a little during the recess break, and see the back of her head at the final bell as Yuria headed straight for cram school, intent on meeting the challenge.

While students of the Gifted Program take four years to complete their advanced courses graduating at the age of eighteen with a direct entry into a university, Kanzaki Yuria submitted her final project and analysis by the start of her third year. At seventeen years old, Kanzaki Yuria graduated a year earlier at the start of 1986, and with the certificate of graduation from the Seianese Youth Flying Club, was accepted into the Seianese Air Force Fighter Pilot Training Program.

### The Seianese Air Force

Life was not a bed of roses in the Air Force. With the natural discrimination of females, Yuria, like the other females, had to endure the advances and taunts of male enlistees trying to strike it lucky with the ladies. Life was tough in the Air Force, but Yuria was tougher, waking up thirty minutes earlier than others for her own exercises and mental training, and often spending time in the library to analyse videos of air combat maneuvers and piloting methods.

#### Poster Girl

In addition to her training, Yuria was approached by the Seianese Manpower Branch to serve as a 'Poster Girl', being on the forefront of the military's publicity campaign. Her exemplary performance in training, dedication to Seian combined with the favor of puberty made her the stand out in her batch in more ways than practical, something not missed by her commanding officers. The hike in recruitment figures after the first of four photoshoot releases centered on Yuria proved the program a success,
