Personality:

Outspoken and somewhat cynical, Yuna takes things as she see's them and isnt one for fairytale stories. Due to her family and her upbringing, she focues highly on her education, and has little time to make any realy friends. She's always busy and on the go, her mind just never stops and nor does she. She's quite frank and will look at any situation in a logical way, as a result this can make her seem like a bit of a kill-joy. She's highly responsible and mature, her work is her best friend.

Deep down she's a very cheerful and loving young woman, and she dislikes all the pressure that has been put upon her by her parents. She doesnt want to always be the 'smart one' just because her family expects it of her. She often tries to get out of her study-mad routine and relax for just a moment, but because of her strict upbringing this has become really hard for her. She wants time to just stop and let the world pass her by, because she always feels like she's rushing.

She wears her heart on her sleeve, and leaves her emotions quite openly on display. This is not to say she is emotional however, Yuna is very tough on the inside and has been known to have a cold exterier. Aside from this slightly intimidating coldness, she is always polite and isnt afraid to speak her mind. She wouldnt say she was overlly kind, but she knows that her heart is always in the right place when it comes to it.

History: -

Yuna is the only girl amongst her siblings, and also the youngest out of them. Her mother had great expectations of her only daughter, and her parents always pushed her to study and be intelligent and smart beyond her years. They gave Yuna little time to actually be a child, and were always pushing her into studying new topics. As a toddler she was already being homeschooled by a tutor. Her parents taught her to value knowledge and wisodom above all else, and she became quite isolated.

When the time finally came for her to move on to a proper school, it was mutually agreed that Yuna would attend Miator, because it focused more on educational studiesand had very high standards. Even though the Ichihara's lived within walking distance of Astraea, Yuna still chose to stay within the strawberry dorms full time, if only to escape from the tight grip of her parents.

Her first year passed slowly, and was quite uneventful. Still stuck into the routine of 'study now, socialise later' that she had grown up learning, Yuna didnt make any friends and kept to herself within the scool. She wrote to her parents with her reports and her progress as they had asked, but they were never satisfied.

After the first year, her parents were unimpressed by the education at Miator, thinkingthat the school wasnt meeting thier daughters high abilities. They pulled Yuna out and she spent what would have been her second year at Miator, being homeschooled once again.

During this year Yuna realised that it wasnt fair of her parents to always expect so much of her, and she grew to hate the studying and the pressure and the lonliness of being stuck at home. Yuna wanted to break away from her parents a little and begin to make friends with children her own age. After many arguements and debates, Yuna has finally been able to convince her parents to let her return to Miator for her third year. She transfers in a little early, during the summer, so that she has time to settle in and get to know people beforethe school term begins.

Sample post: **REQUIRED** -

It was well past midnight in the Ichihara manor. All of the residents were fast asleep, and there wasnt a single sound in the old, dark, dingy house that the Ichihara's called home. In a large bedroom at the back of the manor, one person was still awake.

Yuna Natsume Ichihara, or "Yunie" as a pet name, was sat on her bed with her eyes wide open. Yuna wasnt male like the other young inhabitants of the Manor. She was the only daughter, or in her fathers words she was nothing but a "a troublesome young lady". Unwanted, unloved... an accident. However, that wasnt why she had been crying.

Yunie was crying because she felt like her heart had been ripped out of her chest. She was crying because she felt alone, and isolated. The small woman was crying because earlier this morning, news had reached her that her parents had decided not to let her return to Miator for her second year. She felt like her world had collapsed hearing that she could no longer go to her beloved school.

And yet... there was a part of her that doubted it. Someting inside her was telling her it wasnt true. It wasnt permanent. But... they had made up their minds hadnt they? It had to be true.... but still a persistant voice in her head told her that it wasnt. And so, with a determined smile, Yunie raised her head and whispered into the night "I'll come back.... I'll come back to Maitor, I promise." and it was a promise she intended to keep.
