Yukina Freezis

"*I have to write the rest of the story.*"
―Yukina Freezis
**Yukina Freezis** was a famous writer in Evillious and the creator of the Freezis Fairy Tales. Writing stories since childhood, Yukina developed into a popular novelist at a young age. During her youth, she traveled throughout Evilllious to learn more about the Vessels of Sin and The Son of Evil. Among her most popular works was "The Son of Evil", depicting the true story she learned during her travels.

## History

### Early Life

Born in Aceid's Central District on December 4, EC 491, Yukina moved into the Freezis Mansion in the Elphegortean capital's Northern District with her parents, Keel and Mikina, while very young. After the birth of her brother, Shaw, in EC 493, Yukina was neglected by her parents as they focused their attention on the family heir. Nonetheless, as Yukina began to show a love for writing her own stories, Keel often bought her Rollam bird feather pens and encouraged her, Yukina becoming close with her father. Over time, Yukina also listened to her mother tell her the story of how she eloped with Keel from Marlon when she was pregnant with her.

### The Budding Novelist

"*Next, I'm going to write about The Son of Evil!*"
―Yukina's resolve as a child
After the birth of her sister, Aile, in EC 495, Yukina began acting out as her mother gave all her attention to the sickly infant, unwilling to hire a nanny to take care of her. Around EC 497, Yukina became terrified of graveyards when her mother read the story of Vampiress Varlos to her. In EC 499, her mother gave her a notebook for her ninth birthday. Later on, the child came under Michaela's care and quickly grew attached to her. On December 28, Yukina boisterously greeted Keel when he returned from Prince Alexiel's birthday party.

During the White Hunting, Yukina was forced to say a tearful goodbye to Michaela when she and Clarith had to leave; like the rest of her family, she was later imprisoned at the Lucifenian Royal Palace and was released two months later, staying at Corpa's mansion in Rolled. A few days later, after meeting Ney Avadonia and York Le Corbusier when they met with Keel, Yukina reunited with Michaela after her release from Lucifenian custody. Several days after, however, she had to give Michaela another tearful goodbye when she left to join the Held Monastery.

During the Lucifenian Revolution, Yukina and her family fled after the area was liberated by the Resistance and moved into the Freezis Mansion in the Kingdom of Marlon. Living there in Bariti, the family was visited by Gallerian Clockworker and Lemy sometime after and the mages lived with them for several months. Sometime after they left, Yukina wrote a story about a snake and a frog while her father read his mail. After finishing her story, she had Keel read it and planned to write about The Son of Evil next, captivated by the recent Revolution against Alexiel's reign.

### Journey Abroad

"*Hm? Did you run away from home?*"
"*I'm not sure I'd put it like that, but... Right now I'm in the middle of a journey to broaden my views.*"
―Ney Avadonia and Yukina
From then on, Yukina paid close attention to people involved in the revolution and studied the event closely. In EC 501, she heard Gallerian and Lemy's names again when Queen Germaine added them to the Sorcerer Hunt. As time passed, Yukina wrote numerous books, published by her father, and grew in fame as a novelist across Evillious. Around EC 504, Yukina read the historical account of Will Jaakko and became interested in his writings about the "Vessels of Sin" and those said to be possessed by them.

Finding the name "Gallerian Clockworker" included in the century-old text, Yukina became interested in researching the Sins and understanding exactly what happened with The Son of Evil and Germaine's current regime. Sneaking away from home, she voyaged to Holy Levianta. While journeying throughout the country, she met a teenager who related the tales of Carlos Marlon being possessed by a red wine glass that made him into an "Evil Food Eater". She later entered Asmodean and investigated the Glassred Mansion ruins in Lasaland but found nothing.

While there, Yukina received instruction for proper fencing from a group of mercenaries before crossing over to Lucifenia; deciding to cross over into the Beelzenian Empire, Yukina checked into a hotel at Retasan Fortress and stayed there for three days before approaching the gate to Beelzenia. On the way, her hat was blown off in the wind but a soldier, really Riliane Mouchet, caught it for her. Although trying to pass through the front gate, she was ultimately denied passage by the two guards on duty. Although trying to bribe one of the guards for passage, she was told that his "demonic" superior, Commander Mouchet, would never allow him to be bribed.

Yukina finally gave up and returned to the hotel, where she went to have supper. Spying Riliane Mouchet from earlier, she sat down to dinner with her and shared her experiences in Retasan; she soon learned that Marlon's Lucifenia and Beelzenia currently faced friction due to Beelzenia harboring criminals, hence the lack of traffic between the two. As her new friend introduced herself as "Lily," and not knowing she was really Commander Mouchet, Yukina eventually began to criticize and insult Commander Mouchet in the process of explaining her treatment at the gate. At that moment, when a soldier arrived to deliver news to Lily, Yukina learned her true identity and was mortified, although Lily brushed it off.

Over the course of five days, Yukina and Lily spent time together while walking through the streets and talking. On the fifth day, Lily promised to help Yukina get to Beelzenia; while shoe shopping, Yukina pretended to only be interested in the ancient city in the empire when asked about her reasons for going. She then came up with a plan to use the weight of her Freezis family name to get her passage to the empire and had Lily send a messenger to that effect.

Eighteen days later, Yukina awoke to the sound of Lily shouting outside and she learned that she had obtained permission to pass into Beelzenia. Brought to the gates, Yukina watched her friend hurriedly bark orders for the gates to be opened and she learned that Queen Germaine had ordered troops to arrive that afternoon. As Yukina prepared to go, Lily directed her to go to Rucolebeni and the girl received her permit. She afterwards said her farewells to Lily and departed into Beelzenia.

### The Footsteps of Marlon

"*Right! I've got it! I'm going to spend some time here with everyone for a while!*"
―Yukina
Ignoring a summons to the Imperial City, Yukina arrived in Rucolebeni and visited the Marlon Mansion, although she failed to find the Glass of Marlon inside. While she gawked at the landscape, she met with Lemy and the two had an eager reunion. After staying with Lemy at a hotel, Yukina had her agree to help her meet the revolutionary hero Ney Avadonia the next day, and they set out to meet up with Chartette Langley. On the way, Yukina learned about what had happened to Lemy since they last met, how she had become the adviser to the Beelzenian Emperor after Gallerian went missing and Germaine began her Sorcerer Hunt.

Arriving at the cemetery, Yukina was introduced to Chartette Langley and subsequently learned that the woman was a big fan of hers. On the way to the camp, she also learned more about Chartette's heroism during the revolution. Once they arrived, they entered headquarters looking for Lemy while Chartette explained how the original resistance army became Beelzenian soldiers and she became their captain. Inside headquarters, Yukina was reintroduced to York and met his son-in-law Minage Le Corbusier. Ultimately, finding that Ney wasn't in headquarters, Yukina went to look around while Lemy left the camp and Chartette was caught up in work.

Not long after, Yukina found Ney passed out by the trees in a drunken stupor. Tending to her, Yukina chatted with Ney and learned how Germaine's had suddenly begun trying to eradicate her and the Resistance. She also learned that Germaine's belief, that Ney had murdered Clarith to incite the revolution, was false. Yukina then decided to live with the Langley troops to better acquaint herself with them and Ney, obtaining permission from the Beelzenian Emperor to stay. As Yukina decided to tour the country and learn more about Carlos Marlon, the emperor appointed Duke Oruhari to be her guide.

Over time, the Duke took Yukina across Grabia to visit places associated with the famed Evil Food Eater; two weeks since meeting the Langley Unit, he took her to Crescent Moon Sea, after which Yukina decided to drop her investigation into Carlos and focus on Prince Alexiel, returning to the Langley Encampment. During this time, she agreed to meet Lemy at the capital city. The next day, Yukina told Chartette of her approaching meeting; as Chartette needed to go to the capital too, the two departed and walked through the graveyard together.

Uneasy, Yukina chatted with Chartette until they spotted the hostile Kyle Phutapie, a former servant that had worked with Chartette, through the fog. Yukina watched as he and Chartette exchanged banter and Kyle revealed that the armistice between Marlon and Beelzenia had ended. When Kyle shifted his attention to Yukina, Chartette furiously interrupted before Yukina could introduce herself. As the manic man began taunting them both, he poured wine onto the ground from what was really the Glass of Marlon, and the unwitting Yukina and Chartette fled to Rucolebeni.

Arriving in town, Yukina and Chartette breathlessly discussed what they had just seen agreed to continue on to the capital, conversing about Kyle's behavior and new position as a soldier. They then came upon a figure attacking the citizens; when Chartette went to handle the situation, Yukina realized that the figure was a white humanoid monster. After Chartette stunned the creature with her rocket glove, the two sought shelter by a bar. There they discussed the monster they had seen, before they headed inside and found Ney. Failing to rouse the drunken woman, Yukina directed Chartette to borrow her sword.

Not long after, the monster approached and Chartette went outside to fight it; meanwhile, the bartender confided to Yukina that the creature was her son who had died of the Gula Disease. When the fight was over, Chartette and Yukina rested before the city guards took the corpse monster away, and then the pair traveled towards the Imperial City themselves. On the way, they noted the Beelzenian army retreating from the massive undead army towards Rucolebeni.

### The White Army

"*Do you think that person was sick or something? He looked so bizarre. And he seemed to have lost his sanity.*"
"*I kinda doubt it was a person to begin with.*"
―Yukina and Chartette
Finally inside the capital, they met with Duke Oruhari, learning that all the nobles were convening to discuss the white monster threat. As Yukina waited for Lemy to finishing speaking with the Emperor, she listened as Duke Oruhari claimed the undead creatures were "corpse soldiers" from the Vampiress Vanika tale. After Chartette had finished her report, she returned to Yukina and explained that they had to prepare to battle, before notifying her that Lemy was too busy to see her. Along wishing to tag along with Chartette, Duke Oruhari ultimately prevented this as the situation was too dangerous.

Three days later, Yukina snuck out from the Imperial City and became a medic for the Langley Unit, eventually spotted during her duties by Ney. As Ney began to begrudgingly allow her to help, the group was approached by Riliane Mouchet on horseback, who desired an audience with the Emperor. Following Lily back to the Imperial City, Yukina met up with Lemy and told him about what had happened with Kyle, learning he was likely responsible for reanimated corpses using the Glass of Marlon. After Lemy was called away, Yukina met with Lily again and learned how Kyle had taken over her job as commander of Retasan, hence her defection.

After she and Lily chatted further, the latter revealing that the Emperor planned to attack Retasan Fortress the next day, Yukina caught up with Lemy in the halls. Although she tried to ask her in more depth why she was wearing glasses when she hadn't been the last time they met, the girl ultimately received no full answer. Soon after, Duke Oruhari introduced Yukina to Bruno to keep tabs on her while she was in the city, not knowing he was her former butler. The child took advantage of the situation and had Bruno collect information on the battle's progress while she stayed in Rucolebeni. During her meeting with him, she learned her father may have hired him to watch her.

When Yukina traveled the Rucolebeni bar to see Ney, she was surprised to see Lily there as well and questioned the two on their relationship to each other. The excited girl watched as the two former enemies talked and drank together, Lily eventually persuading Ney to help join the fighting in Rucolebeni. Three days later, Bruno reported how the deadlock between Beelzenia and Marlon was broken and Ney, her fighting spirit rekindled, staged nightly raids to undermine the fortress' defenses. Two months later, he reported that Lemy resigned as the Emperor's adviser and was staying at Retasan's De Bono Pavillion.

### The Queen and the Girl

"*You seem pretty drunk right now, so I'll come by the palace tomorrow to visit you then. I just came here today to greet you.*"
―Yukina to Queen Germaine
Entering Retasan, Yukina found Lemy heading to Lucifenia to find Germaine and the Glass of Marlon, having hired Ney as a bodyguard. After talking with Lemy and Ney about this, Yukina invited herself along. Pointing out that Germaine was likely at Lucifenian Royal Palace, she explained her plan to have them pose as her servants and let her status as the daughter of Germaine's friend, Keel, to allow them to enter. After Ney and Lemy conceded to the plan, they traveled to Rollam and checked into a hotel there.

Learning that Germaine had gone to a banquet held by Corpa, Yukina went to the party and, finding Germaine in the courtyard, greeted her father's friend for the first time in years and announced she would visit her palace the next day. Alongside her disguised compatriots, Yukina met with Germaine the next day in the Hall of Mirrors under the guise of proposing he negotiate Marlon's current embargo with Elphegort. As Germaine poked holes in her pretense, Yukina was taken off guard before Germaine brushed the matter off. The queen then suggested she take a tour of the Lucifenian Royal Palace and she happily obliged, accompanied by her "bodyguards".

After wandering around the palace for several hours, Yukina eventually came into the Heavenly Yard, where she met with Germaine again; the two got to talking and the girl learned that Germaine kept one of the Four Mirrors of Lucifenia as a gift from her mother. Although failing to convince her to tell her about her other treasures, Yukina eagerly accepted when the queen suggested, due to the late hour, that she stay in the royal palace for the night. That night, Yukina, Ney, and Lemy attempted to steal the mirror, before being discovered by the Special Maneuvers Task Force.

While Ney diverted their attention, Yukina took the mirror and fled with Lemy to Prince Alexiel's room, escaping through its secret passage to the royal stables. Shortly after they arrived and began making their escape, Germaine followed after them and took back the mirror from Yukina. As she watched her former friend's obsession over the mirror, Yukina learned from Lemy that she had been possessed by the demon inside of it. As Germaine and Lemy argued over whether or not this was true, Yukina tried as well to convince Germaine of how much she had changed in light of her recent imperialist policies.

During their conversation, the girl watched with horror as Germaine underwent a demonic transformation; sprouting wings, the queen flew off into the night sky. Yukina and Lemy met up with Ney and, two weeks later, headed into the Millennium Tree Forest by nightfall. As they walked, Yukina ended up talking to Ney about Germaine's terrifying transformation and was shocked by the woman's lukewarm response to it. After some time, Lemy led all three of them to the Freezis family's hiding place, an old well used by the family for emergencies.

As Ney inspected the well for some time, Yukina told her of how this was the site of Clarith's death; from Lemy, she also learned that Germaine had been there recently, although she was long gone by now. After leaving the site, the three of them came across the grave of a soldier named Ayn and prayed to it before moving on. Soon after, the demon-transformed Germaine tracked the three to the forest and Yukina witnessed the entire battle against Germaine. Later on, Shaw and his entourage appeared with a summons from Keel for Yukina and Germaine to return to Marlon; with Germaine, Lemy, and Ney, she boarded the Royal Victoricia that Shaw had sailed to them in, bound for home.

### Return Home

"*Oh my! What a dramatic development!*"
―Yukina regarding the pirate attack[src]
The next day, during their voyage, Yukina went above deck and talked with Germaine; when the ship was later approached by pirates, Admiral Dylan and Germaine both forced Yukina below-deck for safety. There she encountered the seasick Ney, and she brought her back above the deck to avoid her vomiting in the ship's interior. Back on the main deck, Yukina saw Germaine facing off against two of the pirates. As Ney and Germaine prepared to face the pirates, Ney weaponless, Yukina gave her a replacement sword that Chartette had given her to give to Ney.

Afterward, she watched as Ney and Germaine fended off Captain Yarera and his brother Zusco. She was then witness to the ship being attacked by a giant octopus, Germaine putting her under Ney's protection until the monster was defeated. Once the party arrived at Jamet, Yukina took a carriage home with her brother and two attendants while Lemy and Ney followed behind and Germaine proceeded to Marlon Castle. As they entered Bariti, Yukina chatted with Shaw and was saddened to see a nearby Behemoth church handing out medicine to victims of the Gula disease, which had spread in Marlon.

After they arrived at the Freezis Mansion, Yukina waited until Keel was summoned and she finally reunited with her father. After introducing him to Ney and Lemy, she learned that dinner was being prepared but decided to visit her mother and sister before eating. After talking briefly with Shaw, went to Mikina's room and Yukina walked in on her playing the harp. As she reunited with her mother, Yukina listened to her playing and apologized for running away from home. Aile then burst in to greet her sister, before straining herself from the exertion, and not long after that Shaw fetched them all for dinner.

After eating with her family, Ney, and Lemy, Yukina watched when the drunk Ney ranted about their terrible experiences at sea, horrifying her parents. With Shaw, she hurriedly moved everyone to retire for the night. That night, while Yukina was going to sleep, she spotted Lemy walking into the Column Forest.

### Battles at Home and Lioness

The next morning, Yukina learned from Keel that Prim Marlon and the mage Irina Clockworker had been responsible for manipulating the events that transpired. After Keel left to find Germaine over a week later, Yukina was visited by Gallerian. While they discussed what had happened, Yukina became concerned by Gallerian's weakened self; after Gallerian and Lemy went to talk privately in Column Forest, she shared her worries with Ney and the two were alerted to Gallerian and Lemy talking in the forest.

Once Galleriam defeats Irina and she runs away, Yukina learned from her how Gallerian had been investigating Germaine's possession,. After Yukina asked about Irina's identity, she and the others watched in surprise when Irina's pet cat arrived, the girl dismayed to learn it had been adopted by Mikina.

Later on, Yukina eavesdropped on Germaine, Lemy, Gallerian and Ney in an adjoining room, learning she was planning to confront Prim and Kyle at Castle Hedgehog. She later rushed into the room herself, begging Germaine to let her join her as well. Despite her protests, Germaine eventually persuaded Yukina to stay behind where it was safe, after promising she too would come back safely.

Soon after, Yukina traveled to Lioness with Keel to help distribute the weapons he was supplying to the soldiers; during the Hedgehog Upheaval the next day, she remained at the castle in Lioness to avoid the undead soldiers. After the battle, Yukina met with Germaine, Keel, Lemy, Ney, and Gallerian in one of Castle Lioness' bedrooms while Germaine explained what had transpired with Queen Dowager Prim and Kyle.

After Germaine fully briefed them on the situation and the group took stock of the vessels of sin they'd collected, Yukina joined the discussion about what to do with Kyle and helped convince Gallerian to try healing the young woman's psyche with her magic. Later, she like everyone else was alerted to someone outside, which Keel went investigate before being knocked out. As the room was enveloped by a blue flash shortly afterwards, Yukina saw someone wearing an Almoga Mobarez mask in the doorway before being rendered unconscious. Once she and the others awoke, they discovered the vessels of sin missing, Keel seriously injured, and Kyle dead.

Yukina later returned to the Freezis mansion and discovered Mikina had left home shortly after they had departed from Lioness. Combined with her memory of the figure in the Almoga Mobarez mask, Yukina deduced her mother was the culprit who attacked them and stole the vessels of sin. Over the course of two weeks, she used the Freezis' information network to search for Mikina. Learning from Michaela that Mikina had recently visited the Held monastery, Yukina wrote a letter to Germaine explaining herself and then departed for Lucifenia.

### Search for Mikina

"*Furthermore I think this is a Freezis family matter. And since my father has yet to awaken, I am the eldest member of the family–so I have to solve it myself.*"
―Yukina in her letter to Germaine[src]
After she arrived, Yukina wandered in the port town, unable to find the monastery, until she ran into Ney and learned that Ney had been released from service as Lemy's bodyguard. After explaining how she was trying to visit Michaela at the monastery, she reluctantly allowed Ney to guide her the rest of the way. When they arrived at the front gate, she watched as one of the monastery's orphans, Denis, confronted them over their business there before he was stopped by Michaela.

Overjoyed to see her old friend, Yukina and Michaela warmly greeted each other before the latter brought them inside and served her and Ney tea. After talking briefly, Yukina requested Ney allow her and Michaela to speak privately and the woman left. Catching up with Michaela, Yukina learned that Mikina had frequently visited the monastery and often spoke about the vessels of sin, having even visited just recently. Afterwards, Yukina chatted with Michaela over her adventures for the last five years.

When the two ran out of tea, Yukina watched as a young man, Allen, came and replaced it. Not long after she'd introduced herself, and Allen did likewise, she watched as the boy, who unbeknownst to her was the infamous Prince Alexiel, panick upon hearing that Ney Avadonia was waiting in the other room. Confused, Yukina saw Ney enter and watched her share an awkward greeting with Allen before leaving. Although demanding Michaela to tell her the relationship was between the two, she received no answer.

Later on Yukina went to bed, deducing that Allen was actually Alexiel before falling asleep. Two days later, Yukina learned from Allen that Mikina was spotted on the beach and she rushed out to look for her mother in the dark of night, eventually spotting her being confronted by Ney and called "Irina". Shocked, she interrupted the conversation and watched as Irina, using her mother's body, tried to pass herself off as Mikina before Ney quickly explained that she'd hijacked her body, her spirit having all along been in the red cat.

She furthermore watched Ney locate the red cat in a shed nearby, and the cat quickly returned to Mikina's body. As Yukina and Ney tried to intimidate Irina, the sorceress brought out the Marlon Spoon as a weapon. During Irina's ensuing conversation with Ney, Yukina demanded that she release her mother as she tried to attack the red cat herself. Irina, in response, began to tell Yukina about how villainous her own mother really was, only for Mikina herself to fight to prevent it. Irina shortly after regained control of the body and, instead, forced her to speak.

From her mother's own lips, Yukina listened in horror as Mikina detailed how she had been coerced into collaborating with Prim and Irina and had facilitated many of the events that transpired, complicit in Clarith's murder and Germaine's possession. Irina then retook control and, as Yukina stood demoralized, used the Marlon Spoon to engulf the girl in flames. As Yukina neared her end, she heard the voice of Rin Avadonia encouraging her to survive, so that she could write the story of Ney, Alexiel, and even herself; as Yukina then tried to escape her dire situation, Rin reassured her that she would have help from her brothers.

At that moment Rin, having become worried for Yukina, arrived and attempted to steal the spoon from Irina, forcing her to release Yukina from the fires. When Irina tried again to attack the group with the Demon of Greed's power, only for it to fail from the interference of the Demon of Gluttony and Pale Noël. As Irina tried to flee with her red cat, Yukina watched Ney skewer it with her sword, accompanied by Rin's spirit. While Ney retrieved the body, which turned out to be a stuffed toy, Yukina rushed to tend to her unconscious mother.

### Later Life

Throughout her life Yukina continued writing and publishing stories, several based on the incidents caused by the vessels of sin. During this period, Yukina wrote and published a fairy tale about Prince Alexiel's terrible reign, entitling it "The Son of Evil". Determined to fulfill her promise on the beach, she also published a book entitled "The Son of Evil", detailing the true story of Prince Alexiel and the vessels of sin. In EC 508, Yukina journeyed to eastern Levianta and was caught up in the Four Horsemen Incident caused by Neo Apocalypse.

Eventually, Yukina reunited with Germaine after she became a painter and the two began to live together in Lucifenia. Following the establishment of the Freezis Foundation in EC 531, Yukina began publishing her works under the conglomerate's Freezis Publishing. Around the EC 540s, Yukina began writing her own personal memoirs. Sometime after Gallerian and Lemy departed for the East in EC 548, she decided to revisit eastern Levianta but, before that, to stop in Calgaround to investigate the tales she heard of Count Karchess Calgaround.

Accompanied by Germaine, she journeyed to the town and learned the folklore surrounding Karchess, as well as seeing a portrait of him and his wife and becoming shocked by his resemblance to Kyle. After returning to Aceid, with Germaine staying behind, she wrote of what transpired in her memoirs, certain that Kyle's resemblance to Karchess was no coincidence. Afterwards Yukina wrote the story of Karchess, the "Flower of the Plateau".

### Afterlife

Following her death, Yukina's soul was sent to the Heavenly Yard and remained there with her family and friends. In EC 999, she and the other souls were pulled back to the Third Period as the ground world merged with the Hellish Yard. After learning Keel was invited to a dinner party at the Lucifenian Royal Palace held in Prince Alexiel's honor, Yukina begged her father to take her with him. The former merchant conceded and the two joined the other guests in the Hall of Mirrors before the girls ran off. Later during the festivities, Yukina saw her father and others collapse in the Hall of Mirrors, before eventually falling into a deep sleep herself.

Yukina eventually woke up and gathered with everyone else in the Hall of Sounds. As the group discussed the Tasan Party soldiers surrounding the palace and her father brought up the possibility of conjuring illusory weapons to battle the soldiers, Yukina pointed out that they seemed to be limited to making illusions of things they knew from when they were alive, conjuring a gun and firing it at Lily to prove her point. Met with Lily's angered reaction, Yukina joined the group about to do battle.

Later on during the conflict, Yukina stayed in the palace stronghold with Arth and Anne. Seeing Germaine demonically transformed once again and taking out the Black Box flying over the troops, Yukina expressed her worry that the transformation would affect Germaine's mind, although reassured by Anne. Yukina was then told by Anne the story of a princess turning into a mud golem, tipped off by Arth that Anne was really talking about herself. Yukina was later present when they were joined by Michelle Octo, watching as she defeated Black Box.

When all the souls of the Third Period started singing the Clockwork Lullaby to restrain Ma, Yukina eventually joined in their singing. After Rin and Alexiel later created a new world with the Re\_birthday function, Yukina participated in the ball at the Lucifenian Royal Palace before being presumably incorporated into the Fourth Period.

### Legacy

"*Yukina Freezis was a major writer of fairytales whose works continue to be beloved by people all over the world even now, decades after her death.*"
―Hanne Lorre in the Schuburg Newspaper's 58th edition
By the time of her death, Yukina had written and published over a hundred different books, with numerous other tales still unpublished. Her unpublished works, including Flower of the Plateau, were later traded and sold on the black market at high prices for collectors, known as the "Lost List". Yukina's fame immortalized her in Evillious' history, famed for her Freezis Fairy Tales, and efforts to recover Yukina's lost works were pushed by the Freezis Foundation; her personal memoirs similarly gained critical appeal among her fans.

Around half a century after her death, Gallerian read Yukina's memoirs and promptly investigated her mysterious experience in Calgaround. After discovering the same portrait at Calgaround's library, Gallerian immediately understood Yukina's concerns. The original copy of her unpublished Flower of the Plateau was eventually acquired by Second Dealer and given to Sixth Venom, who handed off the fairy tale to Gallerian during her visit to Calgaround's library.

## Personality and Traits

"*Ho ho ho. I'm impressed, young miss Yukina. You always have such interesting ideas.*"
―Bruno
Yukina was a cheerful and independent girl. Having developed a love for writing at a young age, Yukina came to believe that the pen was mightier than the sword and was excited by stories, wishing to document dramatic events for others to read or making up her own with her boundless creativity. As such, she was constantly writing down her experiences or ideas. This accounted for her love of the exotic that developed into a fascination with the occult, although she maintained a healthy skepticism. Yukina also was driven to seek out the truth of affairs that were shrouded in mystery so she could recount them herself.

Yukina's interests led her to have a great love of books, as well as also giving her a strong wanderlust that inspired her to go off on her own. Intelligent and willful, Yukina was unafraid to explore the world, learning to take care of herself, and was undaunted by the political ramifications of her actions. Despite this, Yukina was traumatized by tales of "Vampiress Varlos" when she was little and thus afraid of graveyards, as well as being forced to often stand on the sidelines of battles because of her small stature.

Having been raised with strong values by her parents, Yukina was an honest girl who believed in justice and kindness. As such, she strove to be polite to those around her even if at times acting rash and "unlady-like", although she would accidentally insult others out of her own naivete towards a situation. She was also angered by those who hurt others for petty reasons, and wished to help others regardless of the risks involved. This caused her to become frustrated with her inadequacies in battle and saw it as a sign of her weakness; she eventually saw her own writing as being her means to help people.

Particularly after she began to travel, Yukina tempered her kindness with a growing savvy about the world. As part of this, she was although reluctant still willing to use shady methods to achieve her goals, like using the influence afforded by her Freezis name. She also had an awareness of her cute appearance when older and used it to sway others to her cause. Over time, Yukina's continued experiences hardened her belief that often times "coincidences" were actually "laws" that she had yet to uncover.

## Skills and Abilities

"*And the story that Miss Yukina made was very interesting. That she could write something like that at just nine years old–! I think she has a natural gift.*"
―Michaela
Yukina was an intelligent girl with a creative mind; a prodigy in storytelling from an early age, she constantly wrote and took note of her situations to craft into interesting stories, both fiction and non-fiction. As her parents built on and supported her authorial talent, Yukina's works gained her mild popularity in Evillious by the time she turned fourteen, and her tales made her famous in Evillious' literary history. In addition, her research for her stories gained her many insights into past historical events.

Like her father, Yukina was very perceptive and a capable investigator, as well as able to make use of her father's connections in the Freezis Firm's information network. Her journeys abroad furthermore gave her insight into the world outside of Marlon, as well as heightening her sense of intuition. While in Asmodean, Yukina learned swordplay but was not a skilled practitioner, and had little fighting ability due to her weaker stature. Although not able to give aid on the battlefield, Yukina was more than capable of giving support on the sidelines, such as nursing wounded soldiers. She also took advantage of her cute appearance.

## Character Connections

Keel Freezis: Yukina's father. Yukina had a close relationship with her father and enjoyed spending time with him, having him read to her or showing him her latest written works. She was willing to disobey him if necessary, such as in going out on her quest to discover the truth, but worried over his reaction to her doing so and did not want him to worry.

Mikina Freezis: Yukina's mother. Yukina loved her mother deeply and was concerned by her later disappearance, traveling to Lucifenia to find her. She was horribly shocked and demoralized to discover the wrongdoings that Mikina had committed under Prim and Irina's influence, but the girl easily forgave her mother.

Shaw Freezis: Yukina's younger brother. Despite feeling frustrated by her parent's constant attention to Shaw, he and Yukina had a close relationship as siblings. This relationship is demonstrated as the latter was able to be persuaded by the former to return home, while Shaw had traveled all the way to Lucifenia to find her.

Michaela: Yukina's caretaker and later friend. Yukina became enamored of Michaela's appearance and enjoyed spending time with her while writing or playing games, appreciating the company when her parents were unable to spend as much time with her. Yukina was noticeably upset when Michaela had to leave the Freezis' employ and would visit her in the monastery.

Ney Avadonia: A traveling companion of Yukina. Yukina had a high opinion of Ney's character, believing her a great hero for her role in the Lucifenian Revolution and appreciating her great swordsmanship. The two became close over the course of Yukina's quest and she was thankful for Ney coming to her aid on multiple occasions.

Germaine Marlon: A friend of Yukina. Yukina and Germaine became friends as an extension of her friendship with her father, and the two became close over the course of her quest to find the truth. Yukina cared deeply for Germaine's well-being and wished to aid her with her endeavors, such as her confrontation of Prim. She enjoyed spending time with her, choosing to live together with her in Lucifenia after they were reunited.

Lemy: A friend of Yukina. Yukina enjoyed spending time with Lemy when the latter temporarily lived in the Freezis mansion, although she had difficulty remembering him years later. Yukina was delighted to see Lemy again in her travels and stayed with the boy for some time, curious about how he'd changed over the years.

Chartette Langley: Yukina's biggest fan. Yukina was appreciative of Chartette's tour of Beelzenia and looked to her swordsmanship for protection when threatened by Kyle, the two becoming good acquaintances.

Riliane Mouchet: A woman that helped Yukina. Yukina was appreciative of Riliane's aid getting her through Retasan Fortress and the two became good friends over the days they spent together, Yukina running into her many times afterwards.
