Yuzuru

YUZURU

**Appearance**

Thankfully, Yuzuru was born with a body size and shape that is not too short or small for a perceived boy, and not to tall or big for a typical teenage girl. Is seems by these physical gifts of nature, she was already half-way to transitioning to that of a girl. Yuzuru has a rounded head, with a slightly pointed chin, typical of young boys. However, she has natural blonde hair coloration, with pale yellow and white highlights. Yuzuru as a perceived boy, began letting their hair grow out, so that when they began their transition, they already had a head start on having a longer girl's hairstyle. Her hair is in a pixie cut, with two long bangs on the sides, reaching down to the bottom of her cheeks. Added to the pixie cut is that she wears long, sexy twin tails that reach to below her shoulder blades, and accomplished by hair extensions that match exactly her blonde hair color. Yuzuru has huge, 'manga girl' eyes, a rarity for a perceived boy, that are in a provocative pale lavender color. She knows how to enhance her eyelashes with makeup to make them appear to be long and very attractive. She has thin eyebrows. She uses makeup to give her face an allover creamy and soft skin appearance, as well as a very feminine demure. She has pale, clear skin all over her body, also making her so attractive.

As stated, Yuzuru has a body shape that is not too thin or thick. She has average shoulders, long arms and average hands. Long, lean, sexy legs add to her body shape, with average sized feet. Yuzuru is flat chested, with no bust size whatsoever. But that can work to her advantage, as she is seen as a Teenage Loli. Girls who are Teen Lolis are seen as underdeveloped and child-like, and naturally fun and playful.

In the short story, Yuzuru is seen as wearing only two girl's outfits. When she went to the drug store to obtain more foundation makeup, she had dressed herself in a girl's bare shoulder, spaghetti strapped party dress, with a sash wrapped around the bust area, a huge bow covering what would have been her left breast, and with a very short dress hemline coming down to only mid-thigh. For her date with Fumiya, Yuzuru had (reluctantly) agreed to wear the mandatory clothing styles that he specified for her to wear. She wore a shirt with a plaid, pleated mini-skirt, short enough that it would have given glimpses of her panties. To get around that dilemma, she wore black tights for modesty. Over the shirt, she wore a little girl's styled jacket, with a peter-pan color, and heart shaped buttons down the front. High heeled ankle boots were on her feet. Yuzuru carried an over-the-shoulder purse, styled like a large, valentines day heart. Yuzuru fulfilled Fumiya's fashion demands in a very extraordinary and explicit way, making her a trans girl who was very attractive and special in Fumiya's estimation.

**Personality and Circumstances**

Given that Yuzuru grew up with no close friends, it is no surprise that she is a confirmed, dyed-in-the-wool loner. This trait is actually a carry over from when she was perceived as a boy. At school, she had no friendly classmates, as boy and girl alike thought that Yuzuru was too feminine looking and acting to be a proper boy. That and Yuzuru began to grow their blonde hair out in a long and provocative hair style, only adding to their feminine looks. Yuzuru was not distressed in any way by being a loner, in fact, she viewed it as an asset. She could continue her transition to female without any words or actions by so-called friends or family to oppose her. Such self-determination is what kept her spirits up and added to her own self-worth. One might even say that Yuzuru had become somewhat self-centered, as she only looked out for herself and her own interests, with no though towards anyone else's wants or needs.

Yuzuru is quite intelligent, and does well in school, ever though her 'heart is not in her work'. Her heart is devoted to becoming the best possible authentic girl that her circumstances and situations will allow. She has learned how to become skillful in makeup and fashion styles. She knows what to wear, and how to present herself, to make herself as attractive and fashionable as possible. This is shown by her attitude about going to and shopping in the drug store, confirmed by wearing a party dress out in public, and stocking up on her makeup supplies.

In contrast, Yuzuru has, in the back of her mind, a streak of fear and trepidation about her presenting herself as a teenage girl. This is seen when the drug store clerk asked her to wait until he got off of work. Yuzuru fussed and fretted over what the boy wanted to talk to her about. However, Yuzuru was able to keep these troublesome traits under control, as she dealt with what the boy wanted her to do. The fear, unfortunately, was reoccurring, as it manifested itself repeatedly after the meeting with the boy, and then before their date with one another. But she had self-control, as well as bravery, to go into the date not knowing how it would go down with the boy, or the other couple that she met.

All in all, Yuzuru's personality traits, except for her loneliness and trepidation, are on the positive side of her mental, emotional, and social constitution. She even added a trait that she was sorely lacking in, that is trust of someone else, namely the boy who wanted to date her. The short story ends with good prospects for Yuzuru to continue her transition to female, but now do so with the help and encouragement of another, the boy who wants to date her and help her with her transition.

**Trivia**

In the Japanese language, the first name "Yuzuru" is masculine, and means the bowstring of a bow is pulled tight, and is ready to fire an arrow, indicating that the targeted one needs to give up and yield right now.
