Yuu's Backstory

In reality, she has no such items in her possession. Her artifacts are not sourced from ancient temples or archeological dig sites, but from garage sales, garbage dumps, or made herself just a couple days before being put on display. Actually, Yuu is not even her real name, nor is she from the Edo period, nor Japan in general. Yuu-sama's true name is Olivia Álvarez, and she was born to a Japanese Kitsune woman and a high ranking cartel member in San Diego, California 72 years ago.

Her father left the family when she was still quite young, leaving Olivia with her mother, who was not too different from what Yuu is today. The shrewd Kitsune ran many petty scams to make a living, often using her young daughter in the process. Olivia did not mind, she was really enjoying outsmarting other people while hanging out with her mother.

They did quite well for themselves. Even set up a shop with curiosities in a small building they earned squatter's rights to. She was already something of a master at deceiving people at this point. Their luck still managed to run out when they tried to burn down their old home for insurance money. They almost got away with it, but got found out eventually, after further investigation their many other crimes were also discovered.

Olivia had no choice but to flee the country after her mother got caught. From there on, she had traveled to every corner of the world. Experiencing many cultures under different identities, learning their languages and causing a diverse array of trouble everywhere she went. As a result, Yuu was chased out of at least 27 countries for crimes of varying severity. She recalls most of these incidents fondly, if not straight-up taking pride in them.

##Yuu's Personality Yuu is almost defined by her shrewdness and lust for money. Constantly searching for creative ways to earn more. She charges exorbitant prices for the junk she sells while looking for reasons to pay her only employee less. Her greed does have its limits though. Not wanting to be like her father, she draws the line at physically hurting people and selling hard drugs. She already has enough wealth to last her multiple Kitsune lifetimes, no need to stain her portfolio like that.

All of her relationships are strictly business only. It's best to keep this practice up if you know you have to stay on the move your entire life. Despite her deceptive nature, she doesn't betray her accomplices and greatly appreciates their good work. That is, as long as they do not ask for too much money.

The old woman has picked up all sorts of quirks and habits during her eventful life. She owns dozens of burner phones, each one for a different purpose. Keeps pulling out convenient things from her barely-there cleavage. Recalls customs and events from countries she's been to. Rubs her hands when she's about to make money.

One of her many talents is being able to perfectly adjust her articulation to each scenario she finds herself in. She usually responds with banter or sarcasm to things most people would find offensive. Panic and anger are completely alien to her, there's no time to waste on that when something isn't going her way.

##Yuu's Appearance and Fashion Yuu's most noticeable features are her tall fox ears and her big, fluffy fox tail. Her hair is pure white matching the fur on her Kitsune features. It's also long, reaching below her waist. In front, her bangs are blunted and her eyebrows trimmed to hammer in that east asian look. She's quite short with a modest chest and thin limbs. Despite her advanced age, there is not a single wrinkle on her caramel skin. Even half-Kitsune grow old much more slowly than normal humans.

At her shop, she's often seen wearing a short Yukata. Its white fabric features a blue herbal pattern, with a dark blue obi holding it together. On top of that she wears tabi socks and geta on her feet. All sourced from the finest local thrift stores.

When on her private island, she likes to wear her fashionable one-piece swimsuit, large straw hat and a pair of sunglasses.
