behold_the_void
Other Characters Played: N/A
Character Name: Yukari Yakumo
Canon Touhou Project
Personality: Yukari is a mysterious and enigmatic being; one could call her the most “youkai” youkai in all of Gensokyo. Her actions are rarely explained and never apologized, and while outwardly she often seems to be acting out of laziness it is usually clear by the end of an incident that her aims had other goals.
Yukari is said to be quite capable of being “the hero or the villain” depending on her mood, though in actuality, it seems a bit more complex than that. While her behavior is often mysterious, more often than not the actions she take cause an end she desires, although not necessarily one desired by everyone around her. Even so, it usually ends in at the very least the restoration of peace in Gensokyo, so the implication is strong that Yukari’s actions almost always have Gensokyo’s best interests in mind.
Aside from being incredibly manipulative, Yukari is often shown to be lazy and indolent, sleeping a lot and consuming a great deal of tea and sake. Her power over boundaries both physical and metaphorical often allow her to take short cuts, she can teleport wherever she wishes and thus has little need to walk or fly, and can even pour herself sake without having to stand. Her Shikigami, Ran, is often the one charged with all the duties around her household, and she tends to punish Ran severely if her directives aren’t upheld.
Yukari is a woman with many connections and great power and influence. She is perfectly willing to assert any of these advantages whenever she feels it is necessary, but tends to be more of an observer, while she may take part in a situation she usually does so as a supporter at best, offering aid and not taking the spotlight for herself. Yukari is the maintainer of the Great Hakurei Border, and in her actions it is readily apparent that she has a great interest in maintaining it; she is certainly powerful enough to destroy Gensokyo if she wished, but she has no desire to do so, nor does she want to allow it to be destroyed. Ancient and ever-present, Yukari keeps things moving in the direction she wishes (and, most often, the direction beneficial to most involved parties), although she can be kind of a bitch about it.
History: http://touhou.wikia.com/wiki/Yukari
Setting Info: http://touhou.wikia.com/wiki/Gensokyo
Canon Point: Current canon point, post-Touhou 13 Ten Desires
Abilities/Powers: Yukari's primary ability is the manipulation of boundaries, both real and conceptual. In practice, she uses it to slip through the space of dimensions or bring things from other realms into her own. In addition, she has the ability to employ powerful offensive magic, which she wields through spellcards, rechargeable magic spells activated through a magic card that can create elaborate patterns of danmaku, magical bullets intended for the ceremonial combat style common in Gensokyo.
Intended Guild: Diamonds of Fortune. Yukari is cunning and resourceful, able to manipulate the situation to her advantage and do so with impunity. Though not necessarily a great lover of material wealth, she brings a strong personality and ability set to the guild that fits within their idiom.
Notes/Other Info: Yukari is a moderator character with specific tie-ins to later plots and thus is exempt from the plane-crossing restriction.
