➤ Faceclaim
FUJIOKA HARUHI | OURAN HIGH SCHOOL HOST CLUB
➤ Physical description
Yuki isn't very physically developed as far as curves go. She has big brown eyes and dark brown hair, which she wears short for easier maintenance. Because of these things, she is often mistaken for a boy. She doesn't make much effort to correct anyone, either, and isn't offended. She doesn't think it matters what sex someone is so she doesn't care what gender people see her as, and she prefers wearing clothes more traditional of a boy anyway. Her phantom aura manifests as three red balloons floating above her head, the strings tied to her wrist, and a halo of blue and yellow feathers; if you look closely, the feathers are quills.

- LOYAL: Although Yuki rarely puts an effort into making new friends, once she's made one she'll never betray them.
- FORGIVING: No matter how irritated she gets with someone, her temper burns quick and she'll just as easily forgive them if you give her an hour or so.
- ACCEPTING: Yuki accepts people as they are, and that's that. Now, that doesn't mean she won't voice her opinion or irritation, but she doesn't try to change anyone and wouldn't want to. It's not her place.
➤ Bad Traits
XXX
XXX
- BLUNT: Not one to mince words, Yuki has a tendency to offend people even if she didn't really mean to.
- UNENTHUSIASTIC: It can be hard to get Yuki really excited about anything, and she lacks motivation outside of her studies.
- IRRITABLE: Yuki is easily annoyed and prone to shouting at others when agitated.
➤ Likes

- BOOKS: It doesn't even matter what genre the book is, Yuki will read it and love it; even if she loves to hate it, there's love in there. Books are one of the few things that can get her emotional. If you have a big boring technical book you need information from, Yuki is the one to go to. She'll read the whole thing in half an hour without a complaint.
- FRUIT: Yuki likes to eat healthy, but most 'health food' doesn't taste very good to her. Fruit is her favorite food, especially strawberries and peaches.
- GAMES: She mostly like board games and card games. She'll play sporty games, but prefers not to because she isn't much of an athlete and usually ends up getting herself hurt. She's very interested in trading card games, especially pokémon, but has never had her own deck or anything and has only played once or twice.
➤ Dislikes

- DRAMA: Yuki, while normally a patient person, has very little patience for needless feuds, romance, and other such dramatics. She's not interested in your gossip. Maybe if you wrote it in a book.
- VIOLENCE: Although willing to help fight Phantoms when need be, she isn't a fan of violence and no matter how angry she gets it's very out of character for her to resort to physical attacks. She has little sympathy for anyone injured in a fight she sees as unnecessary, with includes most fights.
- MESSES: Disorder drives Yuki absolutely up the wall, to the point that if she does nothing about it, she'll be increasingly irritable until the mess is cleaned up. Because of this, she's constantly organizing other people's things without being asked, which can be quite annoying.
- QUICK STUDY: Yuki is very observant, reads quickly, and has a brilliant memory. Because of this, she learns rather quickly; these things can even translate to people in that she'll learn someone's habits and tells after only a short time knowing them, but she doesn't feel as much need to show this off. She's always writing things down in her notebook, but oddly, doesn't let anyone see what's inside.
- GET ORGANIZED: Yuki has exceptional organizational skills. With her, everything is sorted into categories, sub-categories, probably sub-sub-categories... She loves charts and graphs, and can turn just about anything into an excuse to make a color coded list.
- TOUGH LOVE: While normally nonchalant, when someone she considers a friend needs a good talking to, she's surprisingly quick to step right up and give them a piece of her mind to get them out of their funk or trouble.
➤ Flaws
- GIVE ME A MINUTE: Yuki needs to plan things out. She has to have time to think about things, weigh the options, organize, make charts, and make an informed decision on what to do. She's completely useless when it comes to making snappy decisions, and is liable to panic under pressure without a plan or at least some guidance.
- NOT AGAIN: To put it nicely, Yuki is... coordinationally-challenged. Physically, anyway. She's clumsy. A huge klutz. Like a bull in a china shop. She's constantly tripping over things, including her own feet, and honestly most of her bumps and bruises are caused by completely mundane accidents. She hurts herself often, and unless things are arranged just so, she's likely to knock something over. It's probably a good thing she doesn't focus on offense when fighting Phantoms, or she'd end up hurting herself more than anything else.
- BIG BITES: Despite knowing full well she's clumsy and not all that physically inclined, Yuki isn't one to back down when something bad is going on. She's used to doing things on her own, and doesn't know how to ask for help when she needs it. She'll easily bite off more than she can chew, without thinking to call for help from her friends even if they're close by. This can get her in a lot of trouble, and generally pisses people off on top of catching them off guard since it's so outside of her normal organization-obsessed self to be so reckless.
➤ Ambitions
- MAMA'S GIRL: Yuki wants to be a teacher, just like her late mother.
- BEST SELLING: As much as Yuki loves to read, she hopes that one day she'll be as good a writer as she is a reader, able to touch people the way the authors of her favorites have touched her.
- LET'S STAY: Yuki is tired of moving around. She's tired of running away. She wants to stay this time, put down roots, and she thinks it would be good for her dad to do the same. Whatever it takes, she plans to make sure he doesn't make them move away again.
➤ Fears
- GOODBYE: After losing her mother and moving so many times, she's terrified of losing anyone else.
- I'M NOT MAD: Just about the worst thing Yuki can imagine is her father being disappointed in her; or worse, the thought that her mother would be.
- BOOM CLAP: While not much immediate scares her, like the usual heights and spiders, Yuki becomes almost paralyzed with fear during thunder and lightning storms.

HYPNOSCREAM: Yuki can emit a high pitched shriek that hypnotizes any Phantoms who hear it. The effect lasts as long as her scream goes uninterrupted, but only the first two and a half seconds leaves the Phantom unable to move. After that, the Phatom's attacks are redirected toward Yuki. It can also be disorienting to Mediums, and Yuki is left feeling dizzy after use.

BIOGRAPHY
◣XXBIOGRAPHYXX◢
If ever there were a poster couple for "opposites attract," it was Mr. and Mrs. Tachibana. Yuki's mother was a kind-hearted, soft spoken schoolteacher, while her father was- and still is- an eccentric, boisterous bartender. Oddly enough, in raising their daughter, the two seemed to balance each other out. Yuki always got along better with her mother, often annoyed by her father's antics, but they never seemed to bother her mother. If anything, Mrs. Tachibana was amused by her husband, and how easily he got on their daughter's nerves. Ever the easily forgiving type, after a brief fit and sometimes a stiff look from her mother, Yuki always came back from being irritated with him and slipped right into the loving daughter role within a few minutes.
Though there was plenty friction, conflicts in the household rarely lasted long. In the more serious arguments, Yuki's mother was the voice of reason, and Yuki grew up admiring the woman's ability to smooth things over between both parties leaving everyone involved happy with the results. Yuki also learned how to accept people as they are through her mother's influence, and not to put too much stock in trivial things like someone's class or sex. She was studious from a young age, always wanting to see her mother's new assignments and complete them even when the material was years ahead of what was considered normal for her age. Her mother was quite pleased with this, though her father was always fretting about the child growing up too fast without them letting her run off years ahead of her age. Still, they were happy.
Things changed when Yuki was barely ten years old. On the way home in the middle of a terrible storm, Yuki's mother died. A lightning bolt struck a tree, and multiple large branches broke off, falling into the street. She might have been able to steer around them if she hadn't been so startled, but she never got the chance. The car spun out of control in the water, hit the branches and was airborne for a split second before rolling into the ditch and wrapping around a tree. Yuki had always been frightened by storms, similar to the way her mother was, but it only got worse after that. Nowadays, thunder can trigger a panic attack under certain circumstances.
Both of Yuki's parents were both originally from Japan, moving to America for the sake of education (although things went a little amiss for Mr. Tachibana), so it only felt right for Mrs. Tachibana's funeral to be held in Japan. After flying there for the funeral, they just never went back. That didn't mean they didn't leave, however. Yuki's father will never be able to love another woman the way he did Yuki's mother, but after a couple years, he did move on. Still, it never worked out, and with every new ex boyfriend, they would move again. The man couldn't bring himself to stick around after a broken relationship, and Yuki couldn't bring herself to complain.
That didn't mean she was happy with the predicament. Sure, at first it was nice, to get away and see different places, meet different people. Eventually, though, she stopped seeing the point in making any friends. They would just end up leaving again, anyway. She dove further into herself and her books, studied hard because, with such a constant change of schools, she needed to know the curriculum no matter where they went, especially if she wanted to follow in her mother's footsteps and become a teacher. Their financial system wasn't in good shape with Mr. Tachibana having to go from job to job when he went from town to town, which was especially difficult due to the specificity of being a cross dressing bartender. By the time she was fourteen, Yuki had grown used to having to remind her father that they couldn't move until he had a job lined up wherever they were moving to. Still, she didn't try to change his mind on when to stay and when to go, even if she disagreed.
Then they moved into a house that was known for being haunted. Yuki, being a girl of science and reason, didn't believe such things, and had no problem living in the house. Her father was excited by the novelty of it, so in they moved. At first, the signs were small: a broken vase that, for once, wasn't knocked over by Yuki; something moving in the corner of her eye when she knew, logically, nothing was there; hearing whispers on the breeze when her father was asleep and all the windows were closed. That didn't mean she didn't take note of them. Far from it. Yuki started cataloging the instances the second day they were even in the house. Something was definitely going on, and she planned to find out what. Of course, she expected to find a sane answer.
She didn't get it. One night, she woke to the sound of creaking floorboards, as she often did on nights she dreamed of her mother. The rattling of a doorknob was what finally got her to open her eyes. Her bedroom door was locked, she knew it was. She'd locked it so that her father wouldn't accidentally walk in on her changing again, like he had last week when he was so excited about the cupcakes his new beau had brought them that he'd forgotten to knock. She knew it was locked; and yet, the doorknob turned, and the door opened. She found herself staring into empty darkness, but she knew someone was there. She could feel it. She stared into the darkness without moving for what felt like hours, but nothing changed. When she finally closed her eyes, she could have sworn she felt the mattress shift, as though someone had perched on the edge next to her. In the morning, she told herself she must have been dreaming.
Then the next night, she saw it. At first, being half asleep, she thought it was her mother, and that thought made her bolt straight up in bed. Then, the Phantom turned, and she saw it for what it was. The two stared at each other without a word, and after a few seconds for her racing heart to settle down, Yuki realized she wasn't scared. She shifted forward, and crawled to the end of her bed, leaned far over the bed frame toward the Phantom without taking her eyes off it for a second. The Phantom seemed startled, thrown off, and disappeared. She didn't sleep. Less than twelve hours later, her father had apparently discovered the cupcake-bearing man had been keeping more than one lover, and it was time to move again. It took a few days to arrange everything, but it couldn't be too soon for Yuki, so she helped with the planning and soon enough, they were off. The whole time they were getting ready to leave, the Phantom was haunting her. It spoke to her sometimes, but she never answered. She refused to admit it really existed, therefore refused to acknowledge the creature.
They've moved a few times since then, and everywhere she went, Yuki saw these Phantoms. She was really starting to believe she'd gone entirely insane when they moved to Choecho. She'd never seen as many Phantoms as she saw in this place, and she thought she'd finally cracked; then she found the flyer. Limbo Avenue. Paranormal Investigations Club. There were people like her, other people that could see what she saw. She wasn't crazy after all; not only that, but there was something she could do about it, a way she could help and maybe even make this place her home, for real, all in one. So, at the end of her first day at Choecho High, Yuki set off to join the club.
