Yasuko is a short Japanese girl with medium-length hair and brown eyes in Mori-like fashion and/or robes. She usually has a daydreamy look about her, and a very daydreamy voice.

Character and Personality

Yasuko is a sweet and somewhat distracted person, often daydreaming and drifting through the world. When not at home, she can often be found wandering around Tokyo, quietly exploring different streets and neighborhoods. She naturally has a very different schedule than most people, sleeping well into the day and being quite active throughout the night.

Currently

Although not a good scholar, Yasuko has discovered a liking for divination of all sorts, and spends most of her study time exploring various forms of it and wandering around Tokyo exploring. She discovered the Hotel earlier in 2017, and in August of that year met Hachi and Delilha, with whom she's now become friends. Although they only see each other at the Hotel once in a while, they do occasionally see each other for events or at the girls' rooms in the hotel.

She enjoyed the 2020 break with Hachi and Delilah on a train trip to Kyoto, where they attended a few festivals, enjoyed plenty of street food and sightseeing, and saw some of the spring dances. While on this trip, Yasuko was very happy to discover that Delilah practices magic (though of a different type), and is interested in discussing divination with her. The two eventually developed a romantic relationship; they write often and see each other about twice a week.

Now up to the end of her Fifth Year, she studied hard and took her OWLs the first two weeks of March 2021. Unsurprisingly her scores ranged from O to D, and did little to boost her confidence.

She saved up and got her first mobile phone in March 2022 (after her 17th birthday) at the beginning of her school year break.

She started an apprenticeship with a fortune teller, Madame Miura in the Tokyo Wizarding District the first weekend of October 2022, arranged by her mother to get her into one of the only fields in which she excelled in school.

Appearance

Yasuko is short for her age, often mistaken for a girl several years younger. While her natural hair is dark brown and tends to grow long between hair cuts, she is a metamorphmagus and her hair color(s) often change. Her eyes are normally brown, and skin a tad darker than average for Japanese. She usually dresses in Mori fashion, and always wears a skirt, even with leggings. She sometimes wears reading glasses for tiny text.

Metamorphmagus

Yasuko's manifestation of this gift is focused on coloring over transformations, and she quickly learned not to change her body accidentally before going to school, while she still has trouble controlling the color of her hair.

Academics

Growing up, she always imagined going off to school like her brother when she turned 11. However, she did not do well at school, and soon her parents applied to teach her at home, and has subsequently been taught by her mother. As a result of her time at school, she's currently a year behind in some of her studies, especially the standard book of spell series and magical history.

Her studies go much better in her own time, and she is well ahead in astronomy, as she is mostly up at night, astrology, and divination. She tends to do one text book at a time, except for the standard book of spells for her year, which usually take her the whole year to learn, and sometimes longer. She usually scrapes by on most of her exams.

She took her OWLs in 2021, with a wide range of grades from O in Divination and Astrology to D History of Magic. She took 3 NEWT subjects in March of 2023, taking O in both Divination and Astrology and an E in Muggle Studies. Thus, she completed her schooling only a year behind her age year, despite having done so poorly the first few years in regular school. Despite clearly having caught up and learned well enough on her own, she still thinks she is a poor student and rather stupid.

History

Born into a Japanese wizarding family in 2003, she surprised the family by being a metamorphmagus, a first in the known history of their family. Her formative years were spent at home, and she has a close relationship with her mother, who makes teas and potions for a shop in the Tokyo wizarding district. Her father works at the Japanese Ministry of Magic as a reporter. Her older brother, Hideo, is four years older than her, and he has always looked out for her.

Although she was excited to go off to Mahoutokoro at 11, it soon became evident that something wasn't right. Despite trying very hard to change her sleep schedule and learning periods, it seemed to only make things worse. She didn't sleep at night and fell asleep during many of her classes. She did well when doing most of her homework during the evening and night hours; however, the school system was too rigid for this. She found a great interest in astrology and divination, other subjects she found nearly impossible with the limited study time she had, and remained quite behind in her year.

This became quite a source or problems and embarrassment for her, as most of her teachers believed her to be lazy and stupid. An exception to this was her divination professor, who found her engaging, studious, and quite gifted in the subject. She was still only in her first few months of her first year when she had her first vision, and this professor quickly determined that she was a seer, and guided her accordingly.

The robes worn by Mahoutohoku students publicly showed her lack of academic progress--even at the end of her second year, they proclaimed her to still be in her first year academically. This meant she was open to ridicule from anyone who saw her in her robes, and she was often teased or bullied as a result. At the end of her second year, her parents met with the school authorities to discuss her situation, and in the end applied to homeschool her.

The application was accepted, and since then her academics have started to turn around. She is able to do things during her natural schedule, and enjoys the freedoms of exploring the city. Her mother hopes that it will help her to gain confidence by having to fend for herself, and also encourage her to make friends.

Extended Family

She has an aunt (mother's sister), with 3 children, 2 boys and 1 girl. The girl is a gifted healer, and started school in 2022.

In the Future

Although it's unknown if or when Yasuko and Delilah are married, by April 1, 2038, they have a three year old daughter, Tansy (blue-green eyes, darkish hair with body) who tends to get grass stains on her clothes and pick flowers from flower beds. Like Yasuko, she is rather nocturnal.

Their second daughter, [name TBA], is born some time after that, with brown eyes and blond hair. Possibly metamorphmagus, preferring curly hair. More feminine presenting and into pretty things.
