## Powers/Abilities

* **Enhanced Combat:** Yukiko was trained by her father, who is a retired high ranking officer in Japan's military and now the chairman of the Japan Superhuman Program who taught her Karate. In the following years, she quickly learnt how to master some other forms of martial arts in Japan such as Aikido and Jujutsu.
* **Archery Proficiency:** As a child, Yukiko always had a fascination in archery. Her parents would take her to places where the Kyūdō martial art was practiced, before being taught it herself.

## Skills

* **Bilingual:** As of joining Japan's superhuman program, Yukiko was required to speak English as well as Japanese, in which she quickly picked up on.

## Personality

Yukiko has a very bubbly, fun personality, but this is well hidden behind a confident and serious one. Born with a militaristic and political background, she believes that the law is right, no matter how suspicious it may, and will often feel guilt for breaking any law in any location she's in. Yukiko prefers working with a team rather than by herself, as she believes that working together strengthens trust between each other, and will also provide her teammates with opportunities to teach future generations on how to tolerate and work with each other. She cares deeply for her teammates, and may share a bond with one person she feels extremely close with. However, Yukiko may lose sight of the mission at hand and vise versa, potentially putting her teammates at serious risk.

## History

Yukiko Yukimura was born on June 16th, 1997 in Sapporo, on the island of Hokkaido. Yukiko's mother was a professional ribbon dancer, retiring due to her pregnancy; her father is a high-ranking officer in the Japan Ground Self-Defence Force. Her powers had been developing since she was in the womb, as a result of her mother's hereditary gene that grants the younger generation the power to control one of the many elements, though only few with such powers existed in her mother's bloodline. In this instance, Yukiko was born with snow and ice powers, though they hadn't fully manifested until she turned two.

Her parents knew of these strange genetics while the mother was pregnant, which led to the creation of the Japan Superhuman Program, or simply JSP, under the leadership of Yukiko's father, who believed that people with extraordinary abilities can shape the world into a better place, as he had heard of beings with such abilities around the world.

Rather than put her in the training program straight away, the parents waited until she was 12 years old, in which during that time Yukiko taught herself a little about how to use her powers, using it to create magnificent shows in her hometown, showcasing her ribbon dancing ability, under the tutelage of her mother for much of her childhood, as well as showing what she can do with her powers, while gliding around on snow.

Once she was of age, she spent most of her life training to control her powers better, as well as learning normally through a school system established and  making new friends within the program. Her grades were among the highest of students, and graduated by the age of 18.

Yukiko, now going by her chosen codename, Snow Arrow, fresh out of the academy, joined S.H.I.E.L.D., determined to become a hero people can look up to...
