□ History: http://megamitensei.wikia.com/wiki/Yukari_Takeba
http://megamitensei.wikia.com/wiki/Persona_3_Portable
□ Personality: Yukari is a rather typical teenage girl in several ways. She’s friendly and outgoing when it comes to people that she knows at school, and she’s dedicated to her school clubs and her friends, especially the archery club. She’s dedicated enough to the club to plan on ways to get everyone else in it more motivated about being part of it. While she knows the importance of her grades, like other teenagers she’d rather do other things than study. She also has a big fear of ghosts, and doesn't really like horror movies and stuff because of it. It’s to the point where if someone tries to tell a ghost story or jokes about anything like it, she’ll freak out and yell at them.

Yukari idolizes her late father to an almost ridiculous degree. His death when she was six years old hit her pretty hard, completely devastating for a while. Despite everything that happened in the following years with her father being blamed for the accident that killed him and several other people, Yukari kept idolizing him and thinking that he could do no wrong at all. In fact, most of the major actions that she has done during her life are rooted in some way with her feelings about her father. Enrolling at Gekkoukan High School and joining S.E.E.S to fight against the shadows was all so that she could find information about what happened to her father. Even after she did find out the truth, she still resolved to fight to help stop what he wanted to prevent, not wanting to let his death be in vain and to make up for being tricked into doing exactly what her father didn’t want to happen by someone else she and the rest of S.E.E.S trusted.

Yukari has issues with relationships in general. For a long time, she kept herself distant from her classmates. Sure, she was friendly with them, but for most of her school life at Gekkoukan, she didn't have any close unbreakable friendships. It takes her a good long time to be able to trust others. Part of this is because of the way that people treated her and her mother, and the rest of it was because of how focused she was on finding out the truth about her father. This lack of trust even extended to Mitsuru Kirijo for months, even as she and the other members of S.E.E.S fought against deadlier and deadlier shadows.

She has even more issues with romance and sex than she does with friendships. This is mostly because after her father died, her mother started throwing herself at several different guys, and seeing her mother do things disturbed her and annoyed her, making it seem like her mother was forgetting about her father. Because of this, she tends to lash out at people that she sees being perverted, usually by yelling at them and calling them out on their perverted behavior. She has started to move past some of her issues with romance, as she’s started to think about getting a boyfriend by the end of her social link with the main character, but there’s still a lot about it and sex that freaks her out.

□ Age: 17

□ Appearance: http://images.wikia.com/megamitensei/images/3/32/Yukari_Takeba.jpg
□ Abilities/Powers: Yukari is a decent archer, being part of her school’s archery club. But besides that, she also has a special power, the ability to use an item called an evoker to summon a Persona called Isis to deal magical attacks against an enemy. Isis possesses both healing and wind spells that Yukari can use after summoning her (both of which are particularly powerful coming from her canon point), having the ability or even the potential to use a Persona allows a person to stay conscious during a point of time in the night called the Dark Hour, a hidden hour between 12:00 am and 12:01 that most people aren’t able to experience.
□ Personal Items:
Gekkoukan School Uniform x 2 (winter varient)
Her Evoker
CD with the true version of her Father’s last message
The letter from her father


□ First Person Sample:
[Well, it wasn’t like a pissed teenager showing up on the screen here was that unusual in Ariel, was it? It seemed to be the normal reaction from them, which was odd because, you know, teenagers and sex.

But sorry Ariel, you’re getting another pissed off teenager on the network right now.

At least until she takes a deep breath, turning away from the mirror she was using to do this message for a moment, showing a bit of her new apartment before returning to the mirror. She still looks upset, but she doesn’t look like she’s going to tear anyone’s throat out at least.]

Okay. I’m not going to bother asking the stupid questions that everyone seems to do here. I’m not happy about it, but it’s pretty obvious at this point that screaming “Send me home!” isn’t going to do anything.

Still, you’d think that if these guys were okay with taking teenagers for their little screwed up sex city, they’d at least take the ones who, you know, actually want to have sex.

[She sighs.]

But from what I can tell, there’s been plenty of complaining about that, so I’m not going to waste anymore time. I have a couple of questions I need to ask.

First off, if there are certain people that I want to check to see if they’re here, is there any way I can do that? You know besides just shouting their names over this network and hope that they see it and answer. Or is that the only option?

[She kinda didn’t want to look like an idiot, being a stammering, blushing girl in sex city was probably dangerous enough as it was.]

Also, are there any places in this city where people can practice archery? I’ve been doing it forever, and I’d really hate to get rusty.

[Once she found something like that out, buying a bow shouldn’t be that difficult. Getting arrows that she could use to defend herself might be a bit harder, but at least it’d be a start, since she had no way of summoning her persona anymore. Her evoker was here, but even so, it was worthless right now. She tried summoning Isis as soon as she got back to the apartment, but it didn’t work.]

Anyway, I’d really appreciate any answers the rest of you are able to give me, and with luck maybe we’ll manage to find some way home sooner than they want us to believe.
