Yami Espoir 'Underwood' Mayfield

Personality
Yami is a timid girl that has found it hard to find anyone that she can put her complete trust in. When she meets new people she tends to hide behind people. Her timid natural is majorly shown when people start to tell her off where she starts to tear up and she start stuttering.

However her timid nature doesn't show as much around those that she trusts. She becomes more playful and child like almost as if she's a small kitten.

Whenever she has any down time she likes to enjoy a good book. She'll ready any type of book however she'll stay away from any horror stories due to her Aichmophobia.

Yami has a strange affection for odd drinks. If she isn't reading a book she's hunting around for strange drinks. Her favorite of these strange drinks is a chocolate fizzy drink known as Coco fizz.

Appearance
Yami is an normal female with fair complexion, with dark blue eyes. Her waist long hair is naturally a chestnut brown however she dyes it black once a month. Her hair seems to have two symmetrical off 'springs' as she calls them, they look like the ears of a wolf faunus causing her to be confused as a faunus. Yami is on the lighter side of her height causing her brother to think she's a little underweight.

Yami's whole outfit was created by her best friend, fellow huntress in training and classmate Rosa.

Yami wears a plain white collarless long sleeved shirt. This shirt has a gold trimming along the edges of it. Yami leaves the top four buttons of her shirt open allowing her to fold her shirt underneath her mini cloak in a attempt to make her midnight blue cloak look like it's a part of her shirt.

Her midnight blue mini cloak rests on her shoulders attached together by a single button, like her shirt a gold lining is along the sides of her mini cloak. On the back of her mini cloak rests two emblems her's and her brother Lapis' emblem.

She wears a black frilled skirt. The skirt itself barely reaches her tights and is held in place by a small golden buckle. She wears long black socks that reach above her knees and a simple pair of black shoes.

Yami wears a odd necklace around her neck, three objects hang from the necklace. These objects where given to her by two people she trusts a pair of gold engagement rings with a small diamond, she was given the pair of rings as a test by her brother. This test was to keep the pair of rings safe while she's at beacon academy and then he'd stop treating her like a little child. These rings belonged to Lapis Yami's brother's parents before they passed away. The other object is a small sphere case this is the home to 'Drago'. She also wears a pair of earrings that are in the shape of a cat's head as a joke due to their nickname of Kitten.

history
Growing up Yami had no idea who her parents where, as far as she knew she only had two people she could call family. Her grandma Ember and Lapis her semi-brother. Lapis was a boy that livied in the same apartment building as her and her grandma. He seemed to have a ability to appear when she was in trouble.

Yami's grandma didn't tell her much whenever she asked about her parents. All she was ever told was their names Aurora and Silver. Aurora used to be a member of a traveling carnival while her father was a hunter who was continuously traveling around the world helping all he can.

At home she was treated like a princess by her grandma however she never fit in well outside. It was as if everything one and thing was her enemies however she would always be saved in time by her neighbour Lapis.

Yami's life changed drastically when her grandma passed away when she was 13. With Lapis halfway through his first year at beacon, she found herself alone without anyone there for her. This in turn started her to crawl into a hard shell that cut herself off from anyone who tried to help her.

Without anyone that she could call family that could be tracked down within the Vale area she was forced into a orphanage. This shoved her further into the shell's core.

In the orphanage she found herself even more alone. She spent a couple of months in the orphanage Yami started to act out causing trouble within the walls of the orphanage, so someone would notice her and maybe give her the love she wanted. After four months she decided to leave the orphanage and hunt down Lapis who had recently told her of a mission he was going on in the Forever fall forest and get some answers.

She spent two whole days alone traveling to the Forever fall forest. As she reached the forest she started to look for Lapis to get the answers she wanted. She searched through the forest for a whole day where she started to think that her hunt was a mistake. She decided to stop her search and go home however a pack of hungry Beowolves decided to change her plans from going home to running for her life,

It wasn't long till the 13 year old girl was caught by the beowolves. She was able to use her semblance to protect herself from the first few attacks however her semblance quickly dispelled. She couldn't but think about everything where she realized she didn't want answers just attention.

She heard the howls of the beowolf however no attack landed on her. Instead she felt someone lift her up from the ground before more howls could be heard. She opened her eyes to find three people standing around the corpses of the beowolves. Moments later she burst into tears as a familiar voice started to yell at her. The person who's arms she was in was Lapis'.

How they saved her that day was engraved in her mind. This engraving made her want to become a huntress and help others like they did her. She managed to get Bray to train her how to fight however he didn't teacher her how to attack but how to defend herself.
