We are such stuff as dreams are made on, and our little life is rounded with a sleep.
(
The Tempest. I.iv.148-158.)
Basic Information
Human Name: Ito Yua
Magical Girl Name: Tempest
Age: 18
Sexuality: Reluctantly bisexual.
Human Appearance:
Ito Yua is a girl with simple, pin straight brown hair. Her eyes are a similar shade of ashy brown, similar to what her father would call the 'soulless eyes of her bitch mother'. Her skin and gait are both ghostly. Some would say she floats instead of walks. Her dress, much like the rest of her, is conservative. She prefers warmer Western styled clothing. In her opinion, there's nothing quite like a cozy sweater.
Magical Girl Appearance:
Ito Yua's Magical Form,
Tempest, is what she would refer to as a ostentatious abomination. With her transformation, she gains cotton candy colored, knee length hair and a good 4 inches for a total height of 175 cm (she almost becomes cartoonishly long). She adorns her hair with winged roses. The primary colors of her dress and train change colors based on the abilities she most recently used. The dress is almost scandalously short with lots of ruffles and ribbons for decorations. Her shoes are laced up with ribbons.
Personality:
Yua would be described as a steadfast and loyal person to those she loves. Filial piety is a major driving force of her actions and feelings. More often than not, she demonstrates a very stony demeanor - reserved, yet polite. But once comfortable, she is kind yet naive. Rarely does someone get that close, especially if she considers them to be of a 'lower status' than her. This social stratification is not drive by any sort of maliciousness, but rather a deep desire to protect her family's image and stability.
When transformed into her Magical Girl form, a switch goes off, and her actions are driven by her turbulent emotions. Yua much prefers her normal human form over her Magical Girl form. She often feels embarrassed by the things she says and the way she acts in this state.
Likes: gardening, reading, candy, coffee, cats. Words of Affirmation and acts of service as love languages.
Dislikes: gambling, most men, tea and alcohol, extroverts, 'promiscuous; people', and politics. Chances are, she probably hates it.
Backstory:
Ito Yua was born to a highly traditional Japanese family. Her father, the only son of her grandfather, was set to inherit the long standing paper works company. The family company had provided wealth for generations as the finest producer of paper for stationary- regardless of purpose. Origami, school notebooks, business memos had been, in previous times, made of Ito paper. This was no longer the case. Technological advances had touched every method of note taking and message sending. Other than the affluent who kept paper for novel purposes and the overly traditional who preferred the handwritten method and traditional origami, the Japanese (and global) public would much rather write or audibly dictate their messages through their devices. The result was a company in increasing instability, but a family who acted as if they were in the height of power and affluence.
Yua was raised very much understanding 'red' days and 'black' days. Her grandfather and father did their best to keep the women in the family unaware of financial details, but the whispers of the dwindling help spoke volumes. The home, which used to be filled the brim with the noise of near-constant guests and a variety of help, had gone quiet. Now, the silence was deafening. Most of the noise remaining consisted of shouting from her father gambling away what money had been made on 'black' days and the harsh scolding her grandfathered doled out for her father on 'red' days. It was no secret her father was considered a failure by his own father. He had married well, but there were few other redeeming qualities. His lack of business acumen, his gambling addiction, and well, his lack of sons, prevented her grandfather from passing down the company. Yua felt like a ghost in her own home, and she had very few choices to restore her family to glory.
