General Information:
❦ Name: Yves Riyoshi.
❦ Aliases: Evelyn Hazel. ||| Leila Ginger. ||| Grammy Norma.
❦ Gender: Female.
❦ Species: Tanuki Yokai.
❦ Age: 273.
❦ Birthday: December 21st.
❦ Sexuality: Homosexual.

Special Characteristics:
❦ In her regular appearance, one would be able to see that she supports two animal ears on the top of her head and a large, fluffy tail of a raccoon. It is because she is a tanuki yokai, and has the properties of such; she can shape-shift into anything she wants whenever she feels like it, and can take any form.
❦ Either in her hair, on her outfit, or being held in her hands, she can always be seen with a singular leaf that holds great magical power. While it may not be able to be made out sometimes, like when it is in the form of a hat or an umbrella, she never leaves home without it.
❦ To promote her constant research of the fauna and flora, she can always be seen with a large pair of circular-framed glasses that appear to also be magical.

Personality:
❦ Out of Battle: The bakedanuki can be described as a slightly-grumpy and cold individual, especially one who is not the most trusting until she gets to know an individual. One could consider her a tsundere due to this, being that her attitude to others before she knows them and until she establishes a very close bond to them may be on the more harsh or mean side. It is because she acts to many people like a mature grandmother type of individual, as she is a nurturing and skilled healer to many even if she finds them obnoxious; Yves is a collected and calm woman though very withdrawn and reclusive, and is much more introverted than extroverted. As she works as a skilled alchemist and healer in the industry of those that live deep within the woods, the girl of brown hair can be described as one of nature and does what she wants to a certain extent, as long as she feels as though she is in the right and will not get in shackles because of it (unless she is concealing her identity / in a disguise). She is not like the average tanuki yokai in the sense that she does not joke around often, as she is seen as quite serious in regards to certain things, though she does experience many other emotions and is not afraid to have fun or showcase a side of herself that is very kind or wants to have fun. Though, it would be very difficult to see this side without a very close bond. On an alignment chart, despite her guild status, she would be found dead center inside of the true neutral category.
❦ In Battle: In battle, one would be able to describe Yves as being greatly responsible and caring to those she calls her allies, making sure that they are safe before herself (despite the fact that she would never admit this). She is one to try greatly to pay attention in battle; with her eyes constantly moving around the battlefield and analyzing those that she is facing off against, as well as those that she is with, she will use anything she gathers on the battlefield to her advantage. She works well as a leader as well as under one, as long as they hold somewhat authority and are a feminine individual. The yokai can be found anywhere in battle, from beating the shit out of the enemy with a broomstick to utilizing powerful magical spells from the leaf that she has had for nearly forever, and utilizes nearly all types of spells, being offensive, supportive, and anything else that would push her and her allies closer to victory.

Likes:
❦ Brewing: Finding out how to combine different things to make something powerful is always a cool thing to do, as it showcases great magic.
❦ Cannabis: Smoking the devil's lettuce is something that she has done for centuries, as it produces a great feeling inside of her; aside from growing it herself, she is an avid stoner.
❦ Research: Yves can always be seen carrying a big book somewhere on her body, that of which holds samples and information about many different flora and fauna. Learning about them always makes her happy.

Dislikes:
❦ Men: The gender other than her own is absolutely disgusting in her opinion, and she absolutely cannot stand them unless they are her authority (and even that is a stretch).
❦ Infants: Loud, obnoxious containers of booming voices and lack of reason. She finds them extremely annoying.
❦ Grapes: They have always made her nearly vomit upon coming in contact with her mouth. She believes that they taste disgusting.

Motivations:
❦ Mapping: Out of curiosity in the realm of Earthland, especially Fiore, mapping it accurately is something that has always intrigued her. She believes the maps lie about what are really there.
❦ Hundred: The Night Parade of 100 Demons is her inspiration; she wishes to grow her following of her fellow yokai.
❦ Alchemy: Making potions and doing other things in regards to alchemy has always been Yves' talent; it teaches her new things, and in turn makes very useful exports and powerful, magical items.

Fears:
❦ Wolves: A common predator of the tanuki, it stands to reason why she would fear them; she is able to reason with them, but it is still very nerve-wracking.
❦ Crowds: They are loud and often times filled with people she does not want to associate with; she would much rather wait in a line of a few people, or perhaps none at all, for a cup of tea.
❦ Axes: Living in a tree-house, and being one that is often within nature, axes scare Yves due to the fact that they are predominately used to cut down trees. It is upsetting to watch.

Typical Appearance:
❦ Height: 5'3".
❦ Weight: 103 lbs.
❦ Hair: Dark brown, length to her tailbone.
❦ Eyes: Hazel.
❦ Skin Tone: Fair with slight tan.
