For a 2nd Lieutenant, she's pretty young in physical years, yet with the type of state of mind she has, bringing the type of maturity and discipline she needs.

Female

5'2

Yvette is considered below average height for her age, thus making her quite short. Yet, she strives to diminish the importance of height within the battlefield. Does being short bring along insecurity? Not even a little bit. In fact, Yvette uses what other may consider a disadvantage in her favor by her will to better dodge in close combat, proving those who doubted her wrong.

115 lbs.

Yvette is considered thin by her stature, and though she is comprised of a health amount of muscle, she is still very skinny. However with this too, she intends to make the odds in her favor by understanding the heavy weight of an EFCS. But that is when she is equipped with armor, which is more times than without it. However, in such circumstances where she is out of her EFCS, she must rely on speed rather than the strength she has little of compared to enemies much heavier than her.

If there's one thing to know about Yvette so far, she breaks standards. Age, height, weight, let those physical things be below average because it deems itself irrelevant when it comes to the individual she's grown to be. Yvette did not become 2nd Lieutenant for gain, glory, or even family traditions. She's a soldier because it is her addiction. But its the addiction that births talent, and through talent comes the type of passion Yvette needs to act as her fuel to sustain her journey and bring her to the destiny she was met to uphold. So, yes, she takes the job very serious, with formalities being very necessary, for most of the time. Because it is the title of 2nd Lieutenant that defines her very next days as she stands responsibility for each life she commands under her superior.

Yvette does not love the military because she loves death, war, or the rush of blood thirsty temptations to seek vengeance beyond justice. She treasures the camaraderie, the sake she can have a family she is willing to die for. And though she is blunt, harsh, and sometimes the perfect drill sergeant, Yvette does not hide a single feeling, neither will she ever be described with the word cold. Her emotions are infectious, and usually guiding the atmosphere of those surrounding her. At the end of the day, Yvette may say cruel words, but its out of protection or to snap a soldier back in his or hers right mind, especially if they cower or lose themselves in anxiety. Though, Yvette does enjoy blowing steam off and partying within reason, she's a lively woman, everyone knows it. And it is because of her emotions and the words that come with them, that she owes her success to. If you have something to get off of your chest, Yvette's the one to see, unless you're a deserter. Yvette hates deserters.

As to where she is for her morality. Well, Yvette is the one to make hard decisions, and her judgment is based on what is best for the group, however even more than that, what is best for the military. Yet, she remembers she is the second-in-command, the leader has the first say so. Well, she ever back down on her superior, only in extreme cases and not in the way of a traitor.

Before the military, Yvette was a criminal. It was in her juvenile years, a rebellious teen confused and deluded enough to find comfort in the injustice and selfish among things. But she did not have anyone in her life to be inspired by. It was herself making wrong decisions at the time. Her father was imprisoned for desertion and her mother was married to a prisoner, just because of that being true, she suffocated Yvette in strict regulations and rules so her daughter would never end up there. This eventually caused Yvette to runaway and accompany kids her age that posed as vandals. Yvette and the group recklessly spattered graffiti here and there, sabotaging the property of police officers and authorities, believing they could be some kind of anarchists group by defeating the oppressive superiors, as if anarchy could be freedom. The more they vandalized, the more destructive they became, like their appetite grew stronger with each act. They were finally arrested after the teens turned to pyromania. After so, Yvette served time in juvenile detention, but soon a rising program to take delinquent juveniles and raise them up to be disciplined soldiers became an option for Yvette.

She took it, figured there is more to life than sitting in room and thinking hard and long about the wrong choices she made. And she also wanted to make her mother proud, finally understanding though the woman was unbearable at times, she was trying to protect her daughter from a path she would regret. But she was hesitant, her father was a coward, he ran, the military reminded Yvette of that. Yet, she had chance to prove herself different.Once enlisted into the program, Yvette felt as if she finally discovered her purpose in life, and she was not going to let anything get in her way from pursuing it. Though Yvette had an earlier stab at climbing up the ranks, her passion far exceeded any head start.

Yvette was promoted to 2nd Lieutenant when rogue forces ambushed Yvette's unit, taking them prisoner. It was unknown who they were, but there was one thing of no mysterious, they hated her people. Taken captive, they lined the troops up on their knees and the squad leader was presented in the front of them with a gun to his head. But the terrorists were not going to shoot him, one of them had to. And if they didn't, all of them die.

But it was her who could not see the squad die for one person, surely even their leader could agree on such decision. She gripped the weapon given, yet shooting her superior was not on agenda. Yvette grappled the leading terrorist in a choke hold with the gun to his head, swiftly tossing a knife she snapped off of the enemy to her leader so he cut the ties from his hands. Yvette use the man as a shield as she precisely pounded bullets to create death blows. By the end of it, there were a few survivors, but who knows where they could be if she complied with the enemy.

It was a risky move, she could of gotten all of them slaughter easily. But without that movement, they very well could have been anyways. She became known as a hero. After the promotion, she was transferred to NO-36, where she now starts a new chapter in her life.
