Personality:

Youko’s a very awkward person, and she hides her awkwardness by being stoic and silent. Inside, she’s actually as soft as an orange and is a very teenage like girl. She’s endlessly curious and is fascinated by many things. Youko gets excited very easily, though she hides it behind an impassive face that contradicts her hyperactive personality underneath. She’s often unsure of herself, so she charges onto things head on to forget about the uncertainty. She’s not one to back down against challenges, even if she’s scared of them, and is stubbornly and stupidly loyal.

History:

“Youko…. Neh, Youko!”

“Hm?” The little girl mumbled softly before opening her lazy stark grey eyes and the smiling face of a shroomish boy greet her.

“Wake up! Look at what I found!”

The girl sat up and peeked over to a crinkled scroll the boy held in his hands, and he scooted closer to put the piece of parchment between them.

“What is it?” She asked quietly, and the boy grinned at her.

“A treasure map, of course! Look at it! Look!” He excitedly pointed to a mark on the paper, tracing his fingers carefully around the neatly drawn lines. “It doesn’t look like any place close to us, so the treasure must be somewhere far away!”

The girl stared up at his grinning face for a moment before casting her eyes down to the map again, a small smile making a way across her face. “It’s….. A treasure hunt!”

The boy nodded happily, examining the map once again before rolling it up carefully. “We should go right now!” He jumped up and held his arms into the air as he gave a single ‘whoop’. The girl leaned back in surprise at that sudden burst of energy, but she giggled and nodded.

“Neh… I don’t think we’ll be able to. Chichi and Haha will worry about us, neh?” She stood up shakily, losing her balance in the process, and the boy caught her quickly. “Maybe….. When I’m better… Neh?” The girl gave a difficult smile and clung onto the boy’s arms while he looked down at her sadly.

“Y—Yeah….. You promise, Youko? When you get better?”

Her smile grew and she nodded. “I promise!”


She never got better.

The disease slowly robbed her of any motor function; it started off as random muscle spasms and stiffness, but very soon she could no longer move her fingers. Then her hands went out, then arm, shoulder, and the lower body followed quickly. No one in the little village knew what to do, and the best healers could do nothing. Her family was poor, but not the poorest, and her parents hired all sorts of people to try to heal their daughter. Nothing worked, however, and soon she could do nothing but blink. She laid silently on the bed for 5 more years, and the day after she turned 16 she passed away in her shroomish friend’s arms.


Let’s…… Go find the treasure when I get better…. Ok?

Youko’s eyes snapped open, and with a gasp she sat up to find herself in a strange place. Where is she? What time is it? It’s dark. What happened? Who….. Who is she? The sableye stood up slowly, only to find herself tripping on an outlandishly over decorated kimono. The air must be cold, as she could see her breath, but she didn’t even feel the temperature. Youko took a step forward, finding herself to be on solid ground, and started walking.

She traveled from her initial destination to other areas of Pokimono, and during that time she found other ghosts. They explained to her that the dead always come back for a reason, and that once the reason is fulfilled they will pass onto the next life. Thus, Youko set her goal to fulfill that reason, whatever it is. She realized that the more she moved around, the better she felt, and at last she wandered to Scorched Mountain Village. Well, if she liked to move around, she might as well make a job out of it. Four Months after she woke up on the cold and foreign street, she was an official explorer of Scorched Mountain.
