Description:
Ranking the first in the Chinese zodiac, the Rat represents wisdom, and personality traits for the people born in the year of the Rat include intelligent, charming, quick-witted, practical, ambitious, and good at economizing as well as social activities. The weaknesses are that the Rats are likely to be timid, stubborn, wordy, greedy, devious, too eager for power and love to gossip. Yu Yan naturally follows these traits as well, being the rat it's based on.
Yu Yan is none-too-pleased to be linked to this key, but she does enjoy being in the human world, so she allows it with minimal fuss. It is alarming, though, that the phenomena of celestial spirits being linked to keys for Earthland mages to possess have stretched to an entirely new zodiac. Yu Yan is the first to fall ‘victim’, the way they see it, and the other eleven spirits are not as flexible as she is. While the rat has chosen to accept her situation for now and turn it into nothing short of an opportunity for her to gain power, others see it as a threat. Is the unassuming Yu Yan twisting the story and making it a power grab in hopes of ruling over the other Chinese zodiac members? Or is she simply making the best of a nasty situation beyond her control? The truth may never come out.

Name: Oil-paper Umbrella Dance
Rank: User Rank Advanced (Up to H+)
Category: Offensive
Type: Multi Target, Buff, Immobilization, Drains
Damage: User Rank Advanced Multi Target Damage
Range: User Rank Advanced Multi Target Range
Speed: User Rank Advanced Multi Target Speed
Duration: User Rank Advanced Max
Description: By making the hand sign for fire, Yu Yan makes a wide circle motion with her hands, leaving a glittering trail behind and buffing her speed for an active user rank advanced buff percentage. Once the sparkly circle is complete, a beautiful oil-paper umbrella with pink flowers appears. She takes its wooden handle and does a little spin, then lifts the umbrella into the air and a large quantity of matching umbrellas appear behind her and float, awaiting orders. As she dances, each umbrella lights on fire and gains an electrictrified blade around their edges. They begin to spin then whiz at her foes to slash and burn them. As the blades slice enemies, the electricity sparking through them paralyzes her foes for one post and only once every other post max. Targets must be hit again for the immobilization effect to reapply. The fire leaves a 10% HP burn on those injured once per post for the duration of the ability. The beautiful, firework-like sparks that float after them and snap on enemy flesh also cause a 10% MP drain of those affected for the duration.

Description: Yu Yan pours on the charm, acting precious by either dancing or wiggling her big rat ears and tail. A subtle glow appears around her, and the shimmer gently wafts out to cover the area with mist that seems to pose no threat. The user and allies in range are enveloped by the aura like a hug, gaining an active advanced user rank buff to their spell speed. Enemies that are enticed by her antics and bask in the glimmering glow will begin to feel their bodies weaken as it debuffs their spell damage resistance by 100%. Yu Yan can also use her cute dance to negate a spell thrown at her once per post as long as the user pays the MP the enemy used to cast it, or she can let the mist absorb it, copy the spell and use it as if she was the caster by drawing the power from her summoner and paying the MP cost again. Both the negation and the copy effect may only be used on spells of the user's advanced rank or lower (Up to H+).
