Ronin Anime EX

Alias: Oneesan (older sister, by Soujiro).

Looks: Forgive me, but the first time I saw her, I thought "one helluva b****", fooled by the ever-in-danger-to-fall-down kimono, green lipstick and purplish-dyed hair. Apart from the fact that I still hate her hairstyle, I'd say that Yumi is the type that guys like, very curvy and with a veil of sexiness and self-assure that many women envy. She's a show-off, and she knows it clearly. Her hazel eyes can sometimes reflect the turmoil of feelings that she has deep inside hidden.

Smarts: Above average, and not naive at all. She posessed knowledge in many areas like the techniques of some JG's members, how to talk to persons (after all she was an Oiran or expensive courtisan, which means Yumi had to learn throughly how to treat nobility and entretain them) and what lied in the depths of the arena where Kenshin, Saitou and Sano fought half the JG.

Personality: Years of living in between powerful and corrupted persons turned Yumi into a very sarcastic, disenchanted and sometimes even bitter woman, with an extremely sour POV. "This is a world of such falseness, built up with lies and suffering", she tells Cho once. What was left of tenderness and faith in her heart, she puts it into Shishi-o, her lover and protector, and Soujiro, her addopted younger brother. Harsh and haughty towards the ones she doesn't know, but as you pass through the shell, you'll find a gentler soul.

Cooking - Home Economics: I dunno what could I say in this field. Possibly she knows the basics but it appears Shishi-o has been hiring out for this matter.

Fighting skills: Read this same point in Tomoe's MP. Yumi has little combat training, if she ever has, but always hides her own and faithful tanto between her robes to use it if she needs it. And if she's given the chance, she will undoubtly defend herself; unlike the pacifist Tomoe, Yumi even relishes in violence against her enemies.

Special abilities: How the hell does she fit in that skimpy kimono?! *lol* Faithful to Shishi-o to an obsessive point, some may point out.

Competition: Shishi-o Makoto. The villian of the Kyoto arc, yet so wickedly intelligent and charismatic, that this woman fell for him harder as she could. I wouldn't reccomend trying to break them up, as the closest to the crazy little thing called "love" that Shishi-o could ever feel for someone, he feels it for Yumi, in his own way. The only way to make Shishi-o sama give up on Yumi would be telling him that it would be for his profit and for the plan of conquering Japan. It's that or fighting Shishi-o himself.

In-Laws: Nothing is known about Yumi's relatives. If we wanna count the JG, the closer to a family may be Kamatari and Soujiro. Kamatari would even help you as it would make one less competition to win Shishio's heart, and Soujiro may only say 'I've figured it yet out' and sit there to check on you. But you never know about the others...

Finances: Mostly Yumi relies on what she takes or is given, and far better it'd be to her if you have wealth enough so you don't have to work.

Sex: Yumi has grown up pleasing others as an Oiran and principally AFTER it (remember, Geishas and Oiran WEREN'T prostitutes), so it makes for a very involved partner who surely knows how to melt even the most frigid man and turn him into putty in her hands. She's wonderfully sexy, and has proved to be extremely dedicated to something she likes and cares, so she'll go with whatever can bring you happiness. If she could even do it with Shishi-o (yup, Jitoh, the burn thing), Yumi is gonna blow up your shyness in a single night.

Overall: Yumi is a choice only for the ones who are sure to be the Men of the World, as she's now affixed like a leech to the man who made the whole Meiji governement tremble to its roots. If you're not sufficiently wealthy or powerful to compete with Shishi-o Makoto, tough luck.
