Yumi

Appearabce: Yumi is a fairly tall girl with pale skin, light blue eyes, medium dark gray hair and an overall average complexion. She uses to adorn her hair with a wide white ribbon tie with blue stripes on ends. In her shinobi clothes, she wears a solid white furisode kimono that hangs off her shoulders and exposes a large amount of her chest. The outfit has a blue double-lined trim with a blue obi on the back. Yumi also wears white socks but no shoes, or lavender flip flops since Estival Versus. In her Ice Queen mode, Yumi loses her hair tie and allowing her hair to become longer in length in addition to becoming a light blue color and her eyes becoming red in hue.

Personality: Yumi is described as a calm and serious girl, recognized as stubborn for sticking to her goals and ideals since Shinovi Versus. While she supposedly takes responsibility as the leader of the Gessen elites, she can be seen as gullible as Shiki could have her do pointless fitness exercises when they need to prepare for the Shinovi Masters tournament. She remains judgmental and hypocritical, as she demonstrates in Shinovi Versus by having deemed Asuka unworthy of facing her for presenting what she qualified as incompetence as a shinobi, and instead had Gessen's lower ranked shinobi combat Asuka. It has to be reminded that Yumi is among the worst shinobi both in technique and aptitude; while Asuka has already proved her worth more than several times before the Gessen team even appeared. In opposition, she recognizes Yozakura's greater strength despite the latter trying to persuade her the reverse. She has also been led to review seriously her ideals as of the end of the Gessen Arc of Shinovi Versus where she confronted Asuka. Her leadership is revealed in Estival Versus and the Shinovi Masters anime as pretty lax despite an intent to be firm yet gentle, as she is rarely obeyed to, and even often superseded by Yozakura. She is said by Shiki to be caring to her comrades by wanting the best of them and pushing them to the point of forgetting to relax sometimes. Trying to be more lenient and considerate of her comrades' feelings, she leaves Yozakura to discipline and yell at the others in her place when things get out of hand. Yumi's major ideal is the "Justice of the Moon", according to which Justice is the help to those who needed it, as well as cuteness. It is her equivalent as Asuka's sword and shield.

The Immaculate

The leader of Gessen Girl’s Academy, a school that prides itself on the strict discipline enforced on its students and their unwavering purity of will, Yumi is one of the five Elites - children adopted by the infamous shinobi Kurokage who had made it his mission to purge all evil from the world. Devoted to the dream of their late father, Yumi and her fellow Elites step forth into the moonlit world with noble souls that shine bright. A beacon of light in the darkness meant to purge evil at its core...by any means necessary.

The Ice Queen

Cool, calm, and normally very serious - just as her name implies, Yumi is known to give nothing but one hundred percent when it comes to achieving her personal ambitions - going to any lengths to realize any sort of goal she has set out for herself. It is due to this that some of her peers find her quite the stubborn mule at times, especially when others present their own personal ideals and values that come into conflict with her own.

Despite this, she has no issue with stepping back and admitting that she is wrong at times...after giving the idea or problem some serious thought of course. She grew quite a bit thanks to this, learning to be less strict towards her own comrades when training with them and even promising more time to relax and mingle with the other schools.

Under that cold and usually serious exterior - Yumi does honestly care a lot about her friends and family. Her friends know that her tendency to be hard on them is because she does genuinely worry and wants her fellow Elites to be at their best no matter what - so that she may never experience the same loss when Kurokage left them. If she must be strong, then she will train until she becomes the best - under no circumstances will the her ice break, her spirit will make sure it can never be shattered.

The Femme Fatale

On the less serious side of things, Yumi does try to do her best when it comes to the more normal aspects of life...even if she does wind up failing at things she isn’t prepared for. Having trained most of her life to be the perfect Knight Templar to purge evil, Yumi is surprisingly naive when it comes to being normal. At one point when she was trying to find out what ‘Justice’ truly meant, she took a few of her friend’s words the wrong way and eventually concluded that it meant being cute - which she tries to do so to varying degrees of success. One coudl even say that outside of battle, Yumi is quite the airhead....

Yumi fights with two Japanese Tessen, metal hand fans, and wind and ice based moves and ninja arts. Her movements are based on traditional noh dance, and her assets rely solely on a high defense and freezing capabilities. It is at the cost of bad performance everywhere else, with slowness, lowest attack power out of the cast, short range and ineffective Ninja Arts. One is advised to compensate with a good use of combos and Aerial Raves.

Yumi has an awakened state called Ice Queen which involves her entering a state where her ice abilities are enhanced even further, and her attacks empowered. She gets more mobility by skating around on ice in large bows. Her fans are replaced by a sword of ice and despite using such a weapon, she is capable of firing projectiles from her blade.

"Even though Yumi's defense is high, she has low endurance and attack power. She makes up for these, however, with the majority of her moves having freeze abilities. This can stop opponents in their tracks, allowing her to easily gain the upper hand even in the most futile of situations. To make up for her various weaknesses, she must take advantage of her chain attacks, Aerial Rave, and Secret Ninja Arts. Her Frantic Mode makes her range even shorter, so use it in conjunction with her Secret Ninja Arts for optimal effect. Deal quick attacks to build her Ninja Arts gauge, then use her Secret Ninja Arts as much as you can. When surrounded, Ice Pillar Fan is the recommended Secret Ninja Art, as it has a large attack range and can rack up a major combo." -
