Part/Full Time Job: Working as a Private Investigator part time, solving mysteries and various smaller crimes in addition to her regular school hours. She is regarded as quite skilled in her field by several of her peers, including her teachers.

Appearance: Standing at a staturous 6’5”, Yukino is quite a tall young woman- her height being owed to her long and slender legs. She is rather slim for her age but underneath her neatly tucked snow white blouse and her ankle-length pleated black skirt is quite some built up muscles from personal training at her home. Yuki has quite a well structured and lightly angular jawline that tends to make her seem a little more masculine in appearance. Though her jaw contrasts to her soft, yet serious looking face. She has two ice blue eyes and waist-length black hair that tumbles down in a slightly scruffy set of curls at the ends.

Alternate Appearance (Iustita’s Justice): Yukino’s regular clothing becomes a snow white tailcoat over a black shirt alongside a pair of equally white trousers and shoes. On the back of this tailcoat is the Roman numeral XI in a bold black colour. Upon her face is a flat full-face mask which is split into two halves of white and black. Once again the mask has the numeral XI printed over the face. The white side contains a smile on her mouth whilst the black side contains a frown.

Alternate Appearance (Iustita’s Truth): Yukino’s tailcoat outfit transforms into a raven-black hooded robe that flows down to her ankles. Her mask becomes a black blindfold with the numeral XI written across it. From her left wrist hangs a scale bound by a chain to accompany her sword

Personality: Yukino shows herself as a public personality, happy and always caring about other people’s problems. It has garnered her much approval at school from her kindness and helpfulness as she attempts to balance her life with her job and with school. Though however friendly she may be, something about her seems...distant. Almost an untouchable aura emanates from her.

Weaknesses:


—Weakness Name: Stressed Out
—Description: Due to the sheer weight of the task that is balancing her hectic life, Yukino is always quite stressed out. Whilst she can often keep this under wraps, there comes a time when she will panic herself over things that come up in her cases, and she will not be able to focus properly.

—Weakness Name: Suspicious
—Description: Being a detective and a solo worker comes with the perk of never being betrayed by companions. Although, Yukino has a tendency to never write off anyone as not being a suspect in a case, even her own family can quickly become suspects in her eyes. This causes some trust issues that are better left unspoken.

—Weakness Name: Paranoia
—Description: It isn't just people that become suspected in Yukino's eyes. She does in fact look behind herself every so often when she's in town. Always watching for a blade in the dark or a stab in the back. This further adds to her stress.

The Background

History: Yukino’s life has been one full of hardships and obstacles. Ever since she was small, her mother had been in severe debts thanks to the foolish gambling obsession of her now deceased father. The men who he owed to didn’t stop his debt, and demanded that his family pay for it. Her mother- Mitsuo, agreed to pay out of fear for what may happen to her only daughter. At the time, Yukino didn’t quite understand it all. However she became much more aware of her mother’s struggles as she got older. This is when she first wanted to become a detective. Her very first case- the debt collectors who had tormented her family for so long. It started with her attempting to find evidence on them, and evidence she found. As it turned out, the collectors were using the funds to supply their own gains rather than giving back to the various casinos that her father had visited- thus rendering her poor mother in constant unpaid debts. Yukino spent weeks gathering photographic and video evidence in order to make a successful case against them. Soon, she was able to call them out on their fraudulence. However due to some powerful backing and a corrupt system, the collectors got away free and were able to continue unhindered.
That was the day that Yukino found the truth.
She could no longer rely on the law and the justice system.
In a haze of anger and from her pain of failure, her inner heart had awoken. Her Persona had manifested before her eyes. The true embodiment of Justice. That it is not the punishment of criminals that defines true justice, but a much simpler meaning. Revenge. To act and to get back at those that have wronged her is the truest justice that there is. If the law would not help her, then she would have to take matters into her own hands. Three days later, the collectors had stopped coming to her door. A week had passed and soon it was reported on the news that they had died in some tragic accident. That they had been struck by a stray lightning bolt and were shocked to death before help could arrive. When she heard that news, all Yukino could do was laugh to herself in her room. That it served them right for everything they did to her mother and to her family.
These days, Yukino works as a private detective. She solves crimes for a reasonable fee whilst balancing her school life. At school, she prospered quite a bit from her training to become a detective. She had become something close to an honour student, excelling in her mental and physical studies. To this day, her family has been happy and prospered too. Her mother got remarried to a doctor and gave her a little stepbrother- Kazuya. They all live quite happily together, yet Yukino and Mitsuo can never get their previous suffering out of their minds.

Most of it's fine thus far, but there's one thing that will need changed before I can approve this.

Strengths and Weaknesses go under a lot less scrutiny when they don't have mechanical effects attached but I'm gonna have to veto Liar as a Weakness. Character Weaknesses are always drawbacks to counterbalance Character Strengths but choosing not to share personal information isn't a drawback.

On the line but it's fine for now. I can approve this.
