[Spirit User] Rei Yukimura

Height: 5’3

Skills/Talents:

*Gymnast
*Parkourist/Freerunner.
*Photographer
*She can also make a mean curry.


Appearance:

Rei is a very small girl. No doubt about it, but do not be fooled by first appearances. With rigorous training over the years, she is as fit as a nail, finely defined muscles and strength. Thanks to her short status, she can perform the most difficult maneuvers, and can jump as high as anyone else. Or use to. Anyways, her sandy hair is kept short, allowing two thick strands that remain braided and sway below her shoulders. Dark golden eyes peek out beneath her bangs to match.

Outside of school, Rei can be found wearing a tracksuit at any time of the day. In fact, her closet only consists of the outfit. From blue to green, red and yellows, she has every color you can imagine. Long sleeve shirts that dangle over her fingertips and black short spandex that show off her slender legs. High socks and black tennis shoes are always her choice of footwear. Unlike other students, she has her backpack slung over shoulders everywhere she goes. It works double for school and personal use. Rei doesn’t like purses very much. They get in the way.

Personality:

Rei is a very soft-spoken and kind-hearted girl. One who knows the harshness of reality and seems to understand the people around her. Everyone is who they are for a reason, and she will never judge them for it. With that being the case, Rei does not partake in conflict. Instead she seeks to resolve it - without violence - to the best of her abilities. A pacifist if you will. Overseeing arguments she believes is her duty to make peace in the world, to understand even more and hope to find a resolution that makes everyone happy. (A positive that is a negative).

That being said, she was often found breaking up brawling fights and arguments in Middle/ High School, and even sometimes out in the streets. Pegged as nosy.

However her kindness does not stop towards the living, but is also given to the dead. Rei feels obligated to pay her respects to those who have passed away. Especially to the graves of people who have been forgotten. Such a thought brings sadness and she takes it upon herself to make sure they are well taken care of. To forget someone, she believes, is a terrible thing to do. Of course you can't remember everyone in your day to day lives. So Rei keeps this to the dead.

Rei is also very compassionate about her gymnastics, and was working hard to become Japans Representative on the Olympic team. Often enough Rei would suddenly just break out into conversation about her sport if anything reminds her of it and she has to talk it all out. It is a need that would never be satisfied. And to top off the cake, Rei loves taking pictures just as much as she likes talking about gymnastics. Enough so that as a side job, she photographs events and sells them to magazines and newspaper alike. Pegged as Annoying – despite her seemingly quiet nature.

Personal History:

Rei Yukimura was born on the last island that makes up Japans Islands. Consisting of a 2300 population. Their village was mostly family bound through Aunts, Uncles, Cousins and Seconds Cousins etc, etc. Just one huge family living together. So one could so that Rei’s childhood consisted of no ‘real’ friends. Just those who are basically required to interact with her. Those from other towns, thought her strange as regularly she was the adult who broke up the feuds between her older brother, Iki, and their cousins. To say the least it was suffocating for a child.

Eventually after Iki turned eight, her parents decided to move to Tokyo, specifically into Western Shibuya. There was only so much education that was provided for a small community out in the boonies after all. It was there in elementary that Rei took a fascinating turn towards the art of parkour (Seeing a lot of older boys doing it), which evolved into Gymnastics. Flying through the air in twists and turns became like a drug to her. You can imagine how difficult it was to keep a cartwheeling kid by your side.

Her parents, however, approvingly supported Rei. Of course as long as she kept up on her studies. Her dream to become the top notch gymnast was fine and dandy. But they wanted to be sure there was something she could fall back onto in case it didn’t work out. Rei worked hard, placing 1’st through 3rd in many district meets and tournaments. She was an upcoming bright star. So they thought they would have nothing much to fear.

Unfortunately, disaster struck.

It was a beautiful day. A day that lifted Rei’s spirits even higher into enthusiasm for practice. Not that there ever was a day she wasn’t but you get the picture. After school there was always an hour break. Time for them to stretch and warm up on their own. In whatever way anyone wanted to do it. Rei’s way was free-running. Flying across the sidewalk, dodging the poor surprised citizens minding their own business, and leaping over many miscellaneous things. But she minded, as her coach as always drilled into her ‘don’t do too much, too fast. You don’t want to hurt yourself.’ And not especially before practice.

Like a law abiding citizen, she stopped before the intersection, waiting for the heavenly white digital person to flash go. The lights turned red and so it did. Without much thought she took a brief glance before breaking into a sprint to run across. Rei wouldn’t make it to the other side. A non-law abiding driver had decided to run the red light, but in the process did not see the sixteen year old girl rushing ahead. All she heard was an agonizing audible crack as the 100 pound car rammed into her small body. It all went black in an instant

Rei became a victim of a life-threatening hit-and-run.

When she awoke a weeks later, the doctors would deliver terrible news. Half her bones had been broken, ribs tearing into her lungs, exposed bone. Almost had lost her life if they hadn’t gotten to her in a few more seconds. A very lucky girl indeed. But what made Rei’s heart stop, the painful ache settling in her chest, was the fact her left foot and ankle, shattered. She could still walk, with a very heavy limp, as they worked to repair her foot with metal plates and gohoots later on, but she would be unable to do gymnastics ever again. The required physical capabilities was now irreversibly beyond her.

Heartbroken Rei fell into depression during her recovery. Through encouragement of her family, team mates, and peers, she managed to push aside her pain and look to the future. A least she was still alive and hadn’t lost her capabilities for photography. Maybe she could become some type of journalist instead. But no matter how hard she tried, returning to school, focusing entirely on her studies and pushing those faraway dreams into the deepest part of her mind, it was never enough. Something that Rei hide away into the darkest recess of her soul.

Eventually one could say she came to certain terms with it. Rei’s brightness returned and as was suggested before, she took up her photography with high enthusiasm as if it was gymnastics. Of course, she did not entirely give up hope on tumbling through the air once again. There was still a few tricks that she could do with some adjustments. Her dream may not be achieved but she could still get her daily doses as an addict.
