Name: Yamamoto “Yuna” Ayako
Age: 21
Gender: Female
Appearance: She usually has red-blonde streaks in her hair, and spikes it up more, at least when she is around her public. She wears heavier make-up in performances, and almost always dresses in black no matter where she goes.
Personality: Though at first glance, when out of costume, Yuna does not look like a member of a visual kei band, she has the spirit of one. She is a sweet friend, somewhat playful, always fooling around with her friends and making them laugh. She is not afraid to say what she is thinking, and can often seem quite rude because of it. She is terribly blunt and honest to a fault, but that does not mean she is serious. She has been known to run up and down the halls of hotels, often chased by the other members after stealing their socks, or something of the sort. She is wildly unpredictable and really is just out there to have a little fun. She has never been one to be afraid of the law, and as a child had several brush-ups with them. She can be a bad influence, holding firm to the belief that rules are there to be bent, and in some cases broken. She is a thorough irritation to her manager, always arguing with him just to get him riled up, because she enjoys irritating him. She is a bad girl – much more so than she appears – and she seems likely to stay that way.
Band: Next Oktober
Instrument: Bass
History: Yuna was the third child under two brothers. She grew up tough, and some would say she grew up mean, in spite of the fact that she almost never stops smiling. She learned to fight for what she wanted very young, both verbally and physically, and became the sort of person who always strikes first, for the sake of protecting themselves. In high-school she was a yankee girl, getting into fights and running wild, and it is a wonder that she even graduated, let alone on time. Out of high-school she moved on to what she thought would be a normal life, working like many others in shops or offices and raising money, someday raising a family.
Then she discovered the bass, and everything changed. She was good – too good, picking the basics up in a matter of weeks, becoming truly a good player by the end of a year. She fell in love with the instrument, and began to search for a way to make
that her life.
Thus, she found Next Oktober.
