a young retired geisha at the age of 20. She came fromthe past 1804, to the present.
Kind hearted, open minded to new experiences and activities. She tends to look after others before her self and had a motherly approach to things. Sometimes if you set get off she could become very angry and jealous, she will not fail to strike back when this happens.
Umeshuu lived in Japan when she was a child. Her house was burned down by villagers when she was 8 because her father had not paid back the gambling's that he owed. In the house her older brother, cousin (who she was to marry when she came of age) mother and father died, as well as her aunt uncle. Umeshuu managed to escape by her cousin, Tanaka pushed her out, and the roof collapsed on him.
She was sent to a Okiya (geisha house) to live with her father's twin sister who was sent there when she was a child her self. She went to school and eventually became a Maiko under her Aunt or Nii-san, Tarasumi by the age of 12. With the Maiko ceremony she was renamed Yurako (Yura-New Ko-Child) which was odd because usually Maiko are named after her older sisters. Tarasumi named her this because she wanted her to have a new beginning after what had happened to her family.
Becoming a Geisha by the age of 16, she found her self quite content with her life, though her mind would occasionally to having a family and getting married. She found her chance when Ren Shiroi came along. Tall, handsome and very kind (though very protective) she felt her self having feeling for him and soon after he became her Da'nna (a sponsor, who would give her a house away from the Okiya and pay for the school she went through and would need in the future.) Feeling like she could perhaps retire, even at her young age, and live a happy life with him she told him of her feelings, and he accepted. She would be engaged to him after she was done her final year of a Geisha.
8 months after her 17th birthday she was walking home one night and was pulled into a ally and nearly assaulted. If not for a samurai from a different time she would of been humiliated and casted out. Meeting Vistada Talem she befriended him and spent most of her free time with him. She found her self getting whisked away by their friendship that she forgot about her feelings for Ren and soon forgot about him. Wondering what the time he was from was like (present time) she asked to see for herself, and he took her to his house and time for the weekend. Surprised by things like indoor toilets and electricity she felt this was of life was easier and never wanted to go back to her current time. They felt drawn to each other and Vistada offered one of the many rooms of his house to be her's. Collecting very few of her things from the past she stayed in the current time and made many friends. Soon after she and Vistada relised that their feelings for each other we're true love and got married on Feburary 16th 2007.
Thinking that marriage was enough, she felt surprised when was still felling lonely even with the wide circle of friends. Thinking to keep her self busy she opened a Kanzashi shop, making custom orders for wedding and special occasions. The shop was in very good business but Yurako stil wanted more, a child perhaps. She knew she could never have one as a geisha but now that she is no longer one she though it might be different.
She was utterly surprised when Vistada said he was not ready for children, but it would be in their future soon enough. They we're only 18 and had a lot of their life ahead of them. So she waited until it was time, when they we're older, but soon she felt them drifting apart. Vistada worked as a nurse and karate sensei and they hardly saw each other. Thinking things would get better over time she was caught by despair when Vistada said he would like a divorce. He had truly loved her when they got married, but because of the drift he no longer felt the romantic bond between them, he no longer loved her like a women of her should be loved. He still wanted to be friends with her, and he felt awful with what was happening, but he did not want to lie to himself or her.
So divorced at the age of 20 she is trying to re collect her self and find something worth living for.
