[CIVILIAN] shimizu, yuina

[attr="class","agar"]With eyes the color of deep azurite they look almost black; still managing to glow with just a hint of smokey blue shining out from their depths. She was told that she had inherited the eye color from her great grandmother - identical to her's, everyone would say. When upset the color clouds to completely black cutting out all color and blending in with her pupil so that only the whites of her sclera stand out.
Although often kept inside as a child Yuina's skin managed to forever be lightly tanned by the sun; a gentle kiss against her flesh to make it glow. This color deepened ever so slightly when she moved out and left her mother behind though not by much. A single scar runs down her right forearm pale and old. She'd gotten it one day while playing outside and tripped. Another one of those moments when her mother's actions twisted at her, hating what the woman was becoming.
Long ebony black hair falls in gentle waves past her waist, thinner and less of a hassle than her sister's. Tinted with a blue-gray color it shines differently in many light sources some considering it more of one shade or the other. She can't be bothered to do much with it, simply trimming the ends whenever they split and leaving it down to do what it liked. She enjoys having bangs however, though the upkeep of that is something she tends too almost twice a month.
A very casual dresser Yuina can be found in any number of things. She likes dresses, but finds pants comfortable as well. As long as it's easy to put on and doesn't get in her way, she'll probably wear it.
At five foot two Yuina is slender and lacking in most of the curve departments. She holds out hope that she'll grow a little more before she becomes too old, though a nagging feeling in her gut tells her that she might not be so lucky. Blessed with a sweet voice much like her sister's it can be almost impossible to tell the two apart over the phone if you are not well acquainted with the both of them.

[attr="class","agar"]First and foremost when you meet her, Yuina comes off as a little aloof. It isn't true though, if anything she's far from it. Having grown up so sheltered she's slightly wary around new people... until ten minutes after she's been introduced.
Seemingly almost unable to shut herself up once she warms up to you Yuina is a babbling body of useless facts about pretty much everything. Pokemon, the weather, even what she's thinking. She spouts off random sayings and uses whatever strange words come to mind though not always with the appropriate usage. As much as she talks she also stumbles over her words mixing the order up all too frequently in her haste to say whatever's on her mind.
Yuina speaks her mind about most things, rarely keeping any secrets about herself from anyone. She sees absolutely no reason too - secrecy only leads to dishonesty and distrust, possibly sending someone spiraling down the road towards full-blown paranoia.
She loves to make friends if any of them can get past her somewhat obnoxious tendencies she can be a blast to be around. Easy to laugh, easy to love, easy to please. Yuina finds herself in the horrible situation of falling in a sort of friend-crush with anyone who's nice to her. She's wise enough to understand the differences, at least, and never bothers to mention or act on said crushes. (Probably the only time that Yuina will then keep a secret. It's one the one thing she can't stand being awkward over.)
Her older sister Airi is her idol; if she could grow up to be half the person Riri is then Yuina would be very happy indeed. She loves to brag about her sister, often mentioning her even when it's unnecessary to do so in conversation.

[attr="class","agar"]Daiki Shimizu ♂ - Haruka Shimizu ♀ - Airi Shimizu ♀

Pazzeal had a reputation for being haunted, and likely that wasn't far from the truth. Born ten years after her older sister Airi, Yuina grew up playing with a Litwick without fearing for her life or the reputation of the Pokemon. Her flames never burned the young girl and she could always count on there being a light in the darkness whenever she would awake from a nightmare. Indeed, those first five years of her life young Yuina was happiest, curling up on her older sister's lap to sleep while Airi read her a story.
It wasn't that she disliked her mother, or didn't love her father. When Daiki and Haruka split each chose custody of one of their daughters. Being the youngest Yuina was told to remain with their mother in Pazzeal while Airi was shipped off to Chalaz City along with Wicker, to better fulfill her education and life experiences.
Haruka wasn't a horrible mother. She might have been too strict over when Yuina could leave the house or who she could hang out with, however. It seemed that Airi's original encounter with Wicker had left the woman just paranoid enough that the thought of something horrible happening to her babygirl was too much for her to handle. She didn't really mind the strict curfew - always being sure to return home before dark. Her friends all understood too, although Yuina was sure there were many whispers behind her back as she grew older.
When Yui was seven Airi returned home for a festival she had always enjoyed as a child; something she wanted Yuina to experience and enjoy as well. Haruka struggled and fought with the elder girl about it almost refusing. In the end however she won out and Yuina eagerly attended her first Halloween Festival in two years dressed up as the cutest little Skitty possible. Every new sight was magical for her; the fire breathers, the fortune tellers. If Airi had been just a little distracted by something passing by it wasn't her fault. She was only seventeen after all.
The Drifloon who wrapped her tendrils around Yuina was sweet. Young and lonely she just wanted to make a friend while surrounded by so many new things. There were children running around everywhere, laughing and screaming as they submitted themselves to the haunts and scares of the festival. The Drifloon tugged Yuina along gently, leading her out of the swirling lights and loud chaos, only to find itself face to face with an almost terrified Airi and a livid Wicker.
The battle didn't last long, and the newly named String truly hadn't meant young Yuina any harm. However, like always, Haruka found out that something had gone amiss with her precious child and freaked out. From that day forward Airi was forbidden to have any contact whatsoever with her little sister due to being a bad influence and a danger to her health. It didn't seem fair to either of the girls at the time and from that day on they communicated almost daily.
As Yuina grew older she began to argue almost constantly with her mother irritated by the woman's continued paranoia and inability to trust anyone. At the suggestion of her sister Yuina agreed that it was time to move on and spread her wings a little. For the time being she is staying at her father's place while she decides what she wants to do with her life.

[attr="class","agar"]Due to her father's low rank job with the government, and her sister's move to Evter Island to open up a small bed and breakfast, Yuina doesn't seem to really have a strong opinion one way or the other. While she feels some sympathy for those forced out of their home without actually wanting to leave she also doesn't feel that living in Cyal and exchanging cultures are a bad thing.
You could say then, that she is a neutral leaning toward a very minimal advocate. After all, Airi loves the island she now calls home so it can't be too horrible.
