Nationality

Wherever the story takes place at.

Occupation

Child caregiver. If you asked Yua, she'd (jokingly) say she's a glorified babysitter.

Work Experience

As a teenager, she started off working as a junior counselor at her local day camp. As an adult, she went on to work as a caregiver at a daycare.

Appearance

Yua has a wide, medium-length facial structure with high, broad cheekbones, an angular chin and jaw. She has warm, honey-brown skin that is otherwise blemish-free, except for the mole on her right cheek. Her eyes are almond-shaped, dark in color, very kind and welcoming - emotional as well.

As for her hair, it's black and naturally curly. When she's working, she keeps it in an updo or ponytail. In a casual situation, she'll wear it half-up or completely down.

Yua has a lithe, nimble frame, earned from diligent exercise. She has low body-fat and faintly visible muscle definition, a "runner's body" if you will. She has somewhat broad (not overly so) shoulders which taper down into a narrow waist. Her height is on the high end of average, standing at 5'7.

For clothing, her style varies depending on whether or not she's working. For the latter, she likes to dress comfortable yet professional, with an emphasis on flexability. Think flowy, wide-leg pants, a clean-cut collared shirt and sometimes a cardigan if there's a chill in the air. All in neutral colors. No jewelry.

When she's not working, she can really express herself. Yua's style is anything that she finds pretty or cool in an array of different colors. She keeps her pants plain and simple, and enjoys wearing boots. Both paired with a vibrant top, belt, and accesories. For jewelry, she opts for statement pieces.

Personality

In a non-professional setting, on the surface-level, Yua appears to be an artistic dreamer with hardly any ground in reality. Maybe that's true, to some extent - she does have a vivid imagination, but she's also a hard worker who can accomplish great things when she puts her mind to it.

Yua is also a deeply empathetic person who is in-tune with the emotions of other people. She's supportive. She lives to make deep connections.

Yua is very easygoing, a "go-with-the-flow" type of girl, though some people would view this as not being put-together. Usually, however, she can fare well in high-pressure situations but only if it involves an area she is comfortable in.

She's also great with kids (she kinda has to be, though)! It's a skill she developed from a young age, often taking care of her younger siblings while her parents were busy working. Some of Yua's friends (and even her siblings themselves) have pointed out that responsibility shouldn't have been placed on her, but she won't hear a negative word about her parents.

However, maybe her childhood has made her feel a kind of obligation to take care of kids.

A little side note: Yua relates more to children who have divorced parents, as she experienced the same thing. She's blessed with having parents who are still friends after splitting up, but she knows that isn't always the case.
