Yuu Kuwano

YUU KUWANO

**Appearance**

Yuu Kuwano's body changeover was so dramatic that when done, there was little semblance to their former perceived 'male' body. They changed from a short, diminutive 'male' body to that of a slim, trim, well proportioned female 'fashion model' body. Yuu now has a pleasingly rounded face, with a rounded chin. She has big, deep, 'anime girl' eyes, with a pale pink color, and long, bold eyelashes, with thin but expressive eyebrows. 'Male' Yuu had to wear glasses due to an eye defect, but the metamorphosis corrected that defect, and female Yuu has perfect vision. Her hair is longer, with tiny bangs all around. It is of an off white shade, like delicate frost on a window pane. The hair is very fine, and waves as she moves like long timothy grass. Short bangs for her forehead and sides of her head, longer bangs that reach to just below her shoulders in back. Her ears stand out slightly, but that just adds to her cuteness. She has a small mouth, but with plump lips. Her skin tone is of a pale, creamy, translucent whitish beige, even all over.

Yuu is taller that her 'male' self, but not too tall for a typical teenage girl. She has long, trim, sexy arms and legs. She has a narrow shoulder, and a narrow waist. Those two features really set off the fact that she has a plump, prominent adult-like bust, larger than one would expect for a teenage girl. Probably a full 'C' cup, growing into a 'D' cup. She has small, delicate hands and thin, erotic fingers, as well as small feet.

On Yuu Kuwano's first day back to school after her Metamorphosis, she was given the female school uniform to wear, as she is now recognized as a female student. It kinda shocked her to wear the uniform, but she adapted quickly to doing so. The uniform consists of a white dress shirt, worn with a man's style long necktie. Over the shirt and tie is worn a vest. Below is a navy blue pleated mini-skirt, with blue knee-high socks, and girl's white athletic shoes. 'Male' Yuu always wore pants, so female Yuu had to get used to wearing a mini-skirt that shows off her bare thighs and legs.

**Personality and Circumstances**

When Yuu Kuwano went through their Metamorphosis, more was changed than only their physical body. True, their physical sex was realigned with their already existing correct Gender Identity of Female. Plus their total emotional, social, and spiritual personality got a complete makeover. Some of the masculine personality traits that they had were reworked, revised, and upgraded to feminine quality. However, most of their feminine personality was completely new.

Yuu had always been a shy individual, with little or no social skills. Yuu as a girl is still somewhat shy, but a good deal of shyness has been replaced with feminine modesty. Together, those two personality traits mean that Yuu can begin to have social contact with others, and are able to give and receive friendship, too, albeit mostly with other girls. Yuu's intimate friendship with Izumi actually became deeper and more tenderhearted, with Yuu becoming very tight with Izumi now that the two of them were both girls. Yuu was a good student in school, but had to do it all alone. Now, with a boost in self-confidence, she is able to ask for and receive help from other students. Even the male bully offered to help her if need be. Yuu's perseverance and long-suffering traits were left mostly intact. They served her well as a male, and will serve her well as a teenage girl.

Yuu initially had some difficulty understanding why the change in physical sex ? There is good implied indication that Yuu probably knew that they had a female Gender Identity, or at least knew themselves to be a very feminine male. But as time went by, and Yuu would meditate on what happened, the pieces of the puzzle slowly began to fall into place. She gradually became more settled and happier as a girl. The clothing changeover was a emotional and social shock to her, but she had good adaptability, and took to wearing the female school uniform in a relatively short period of time. Her trust in others, especially Izumi, was enhanced. But more importantly, her trust in herself, and her emotional and social abilities, was the real reward from the Metamorphosis. Yet Yuu's offer to come into a relationship and shipping with Izumi, to become 'splendid', for the purpose of protecting her, shows that Yuu was not just thinking of themselves, but would offer what they could to make Izumi's life better and happier.

Finally, one gem of a personality trait was the fact that when male Yuu 'traded in their cards for another set' by means of the Metamorphosis, she did not balk at the new set of cards that she 'had to play with', when she first saw herself as a wet, naked teenage girl. However, Yuu initially had a difficult time coming to terms with her Metamorphosis. It has been several days since Yuu Kuwano broke out of her cocoon. She has not left her room, but has stayed in a corner of the room, wearing only a boy's shirt, and her body curled up like a ball in the darkness. One recent day after the Metamorphosis, Izumi comes by to try and visit with Yuu. There in the darkness, Izumi sees Yuu sitting on the floor, their face buried in their crossed arms resting on their knees, and wearing only a worn out boy's shirt and cargo pants. Izumi was able to help Yuu understand what happened to her. This courage and fortitude that Yuu displayed in the face of seemingly overwhelming odds and potentially less than desirable situations, and the realization that she is going to have to do this for herself, and herself alone, helped her to mature to a level-headed, well-rounded teenager, like nothing else could.

**Trivia**

In the Japanese language, the first name "Yuu" is both feminine and masculine, and means one who joins or fastens themselves to another person, for the express purpose of helping, assisting, or protecting that one.
