Gensoukyou:Yuki

Background
Yuki was never 'born' in the traditional sense. She was created as one of Makai's residents shortly after the dimension's creation. After creation, most are left to their own lives, with little influence from Shinki. However, for the first few decades of her life, Yuki was raised under the Goddess' wing, in order to give her a headstart on her magical abilities. This is when she was introduced to Mai, told that the latter was her sister. Though at first Yuki didn't think very highly of Mai, this changed later in her life.

Once left to her own path, Yuki spent many, many years practicing her magic. Her goal was to become as strong as she possibly could, wanting to gain the respect of those around her. This was especially true of Mai, who, though she has yet to admit it to this day, had began seeing as a superior to her.

This was her life for the longest time, until the dreadful events of the Mystic Square Incident. It had been a normal day, until the sounds of combat reached her ears. Taking off with Mai, the pair attempted to stop the four intruders in their homeland, but even their combined strength was no match. This is the turning point which caused Yuki to open up to her sister, and they then became good friends.

After the ruination, and the eventual rebuilding of Makai, Yuki's life mostly returned to normal. However, she's now made it her mission to avenge the people of Makai who fell on that awful day. Since then, she's been training much harder, and researching those intruders, waiting for her time to enact revenge...

Personality
Yuki is a brash, hot-headed girl. Quick to anger, and sporting an incredibly short fuse, she comes off as a bit of a brat to those meeting her for the first time. They wouldn't be wrong, as she's also rather childish, despite being rather old.

Yuki is a fighter, and won't hesitate to get her hands dirty should the need arise. She's prideful of her strength, and this often causes her defeat, as more often than not she doesn't think ahead when challenging or being challenged to duels. This is not to say that she's unintelligent, merely impulsive. She will never back down from a fight, but she can tell when she's been defeated, and she does have some honor.

Being a fire witch, Yuki's a bit of a pyromaniac. Her answer to most problems is to use fire. And if that doesn't work, use more fire. She has a rather... unhealthy obsession with the element. Another of her obsessions is with alcohol. She's a rather heavy drinker, and it's her favorite past-time.

However, by getting to know Yuki, and becoming a friend of hers, one would learn that her tough, hateful attitude is mostly a mask. To her friends and those she cares for, namely her family, she's a very loyal, protective person, much to the annoyance of some people. Being drunk can also bring this side of her out, as she's a much calmer person while under the influence.

By far, Yuki's biggest problem is her affinity for vengeance. She will actively seek out those who have harmed people she cares for, with little regard for her own safety in doing so. This has lead to some rather painful experiences for her, yet she continues to do so. There are only two people alive who are able to talk her out of doing these things, who would be Mai and Shinki.

Power/Combat
Yuki is a (self-proclaimed) master of Fire magic, though that statement isn't far off from the truth. Created with a natural affinity for fire, she has spent the majority of her life studying and improving her control of the element, to the point of very near perfection. Her spells include the basic fireballs, flame pillars, and such common things, as well as spells to increase her physical capabilities. She is also able to create things from fire, such as weapons, and she can alter the heat of an area. Her training has also given her near complete immunity to fire.

Naturally, fire magic is devastating in combat, and Yuki utilizes it well. She cares not for strategy or precision, and her attacks reflect this. None of them have a specific pattern to them, for the most part, and it seems to most she does little more than randomly fire in her opponent's general direction. Which, is the complete and utter truth.

Though while Yuki's magical attacks are exceptionally powerful, and she's a quick fighter, her flaws are in her physical capabilities. When it comes to physical attacks, Yuki is very weak, at least for a non-human, as her strength is only about the same as the average teenage human, at least when she isn't augmenting her strength with her magic. She's essentially the definition of a glass cannon, as well, as she can only take a few heavy hits before dropping. This is why she focuses on evasion, and failing that, simply taking her opponent out before they can even land a hit.

Yuki's power is directly tied to her anger. The angrier she is, the hotter her flames burn. She gets more powerful the longer a fight goes on.

Recent events have granted Yuki an alternate, more powerful form. She calls this ascension her "Incarnate Form". When in her Incarnate Form, Yuki takes on the form of an ethereal, winged being of pure flame. While in this form, Yuki's speed and magical prowess are dramatically increased. While she is unable to use her spell cards during this, her attacks are strong enough she doesn't need them. Should an attack actually hit her, it won't phase her, as she attack simply passes through her fire. Thus, she's essentially invulnerable.

However, the Incarnate Form is not without its drawbacks. While she's incredibly powerful during it, it takes her a long time to achieve the concentration to transform, which renders it very impractical during combat. Moreover, it's very draining, and she can only maintain the form for about five minutes before the strain becomes too much for her to handle. On top of that, while she might not take any damage during this form, when she reverts back, any damage or pain she would have felt is dealt to her all at once. As such, it's a very high risk, high reward ability.

Spellcards
Hell Sign - "Devil's Infernal Star" - Five large fireballs shoot out from Yuki, forming a star with her in the centre. These orbs become connected by flames, and Yuki begins to release arrowhead shaped danmaku in a slow, rotating pattern. Each time a bullet touches a fire beam, it splits into five new shots, which can also split a maximum of twice more.

Pyromancy - "Pinpoint Pyroblast" - Yuki saps the surrounding area of heat, diverting it all into three separate points. After a few seconds, large explosions occur at these points, throwing out fireballs and regular danmaku everywhere. Heat returns after these explosions, allowing her to do it again. The hotter her surroundings the more powerful these explosions.

Power of the Ancients - "Grand Eruption" - Pillars of intense flame erupt from the earth, surrounding Yuki's opponent, rising to the sky. These pillars relentlessly expel fireballs all over the place, though focused on the centre between them, and rain explosive meteors down around them. Should her opponent not manage to escape the centre, then a massive, white fireball forms at the top of these pillars, and crashes down onto the centre, resulting in a massive explosion. Almost guarantees victory.

Pride of the Ancients - "Spirit's Blazing Ring" - Yuki forms and hurls a large ring of circling fireballs at her opponent. As it travels, fireballs break off from the main ring, bursting into showers of danmaku after a few seconds. She can conjure several of these rings, though only two at any given moment.

Prison of the Ancients - "Hellfire Labyrinth" - The opponent becomes trapped in a maze of flame, limiting their movement as Yuki scatters danmaku all over the place.

Fall of the Ancients - "Cataclysm" - Unknown effect as of yet. What is known is that Yuki refuses to use it. Supposedly it is immensely powerful, but comes at a harsh price.

WIP

Major
- Mai: Yuki's sister, and best friend. Though they weren't always so close, the Mystic Square Incident led Yuki to appreciate and admire Mai. Now they're inseparable, and Yuki will go to any lengths to protect her fellow witch.

- Shinki: Yuki's creator and mentor, and also a sort of mother-figure to her. Yuki has the utmost respect for Shinki, and always refers to her as "Mother".

Gengetsu: Unbridled, scathing hatred. Not only had she been stalking and bothering Mai, but when Yuki found out she had attacked Shinki, too? Yuki has put her higher on her "To-kill" list than even the four 'heroes' of the Mystic Square incident.

Minor
- Reimu Hakurei, Marisa Kirisame, Yuuka Kazami and Mima: Hate hate hate hate HATE. Yuki hates these four with a burning passion. After all, they are the ones responsible for the Mystic Square Incident, and the ruination of Makai, and Yuki has never forgiven them for it. As such, the mere mention of their names will make her blood boil, and should she ever encounter them, no matter the circumstances, she will attack. Well, unless she's with Mai, who is often able to talk her out of it.

Trivia
- She is completely unaware of the irony of her name, and fails to see why some find it funny.

- Her powers are weakened when it's raining.

- She loves stargazing, and can often be found sitting in trees at night, watching them. There aren't really any stars in Makai, so she loves watching them when she gets the chance.

- Yuki has a weakness to cats. As in, she will squeal and hug one if she sees it. This is usually followed by denying that she likes the "little balls of fluffy goodness".

- She is an aspiring artist, and often spends her free time drawing.

- While she typically speaks with a bit of a broken dialect, such as; "S'a nice day t'day.", she speaks fluently when she's very angry.
