A stillness replaced the tumult of the sea, yet somehow it filled the space between the ship gently swaying side to side with an unease. No sun pierced the horizon but a sliver of light from the haze and overcast sky, no land in sight to beckon the vessel piercing the waves leaving ripples in it's wake.

Not a soul had yet stirred from below deck but one, his silhouette cast off the prow a long shadow as he sat his crimson eyes glued to the misty horizon as though whatever lay ahead would make everything go back to normal or maybe change for the better. And yet he knew in his heart of hearts, that wouldn't ever be a possibility no matter how hard it would be to push down the feeling that made him want to tell the world.

"I love..." his voice trailed, faltering as he took a shuddering breath the wind tearing him up "I love her." his shock white hair blew in the breeze, getting in his eyes wet with tears. He didn't even understand how to express such an emotion, usually it just went over his little head. But this time it was different, this time the emotions came too easily and too quickly for the likes of the poor little mamano to even properly digest which even were he able to Samael would simply not understand the sensations.

He sighed, casting his gaze to the sea below and heaving a sigh 'I said it, but I said it before...I don't understand, is it the sea?' he inhaled, the brine of the ocean filling his nostrils but shook his head 'Uh-uh, can't be the sea...' but it was something, it was in the air but he couldn't quite grasp what it was or focus as to where it might originate as it clouded his mind causing him...Frustration? It was so strange, how could a silly smell cause him frustration? And so all the poor little demon could do was sit on the prow of the ship, wondering how he ended up where he was.

((Out of character, maybe but somehow Sam had to know that he was being affected by Grigor's scent wether he found out or not. As a preface, it had bugged him during the voyage to the island. Of course that isn't really important at this point but it allows the writer [ie: me] to express how it may have made Sam feel. Writing one's thoughts out can be a bit nerve-racking but I enjoy getting my points or feelings across for all to see.))

She is also fond of its versatility and because of its length, it allows her to gain leverage on her opponents with her strength. However, she would much prefer never to have to use her weapon, being much more content to enjoy her mischievous activities then to fight.

Personality:
Yuki has a mischievous and fun seeking personality and is always looking for ways to have fun. Usually by pulling pranks on unsuspecting humans or even other monster girls she comes across. She also hates to fight and will not do so unless necessary. Much preferring to stick to her fun and games and avoid such violent interactions. Yuki is laid back and cheerful and is always up for an adventure, especially if it means getting to pull her various pranks on new victims for the first time. She also has a strong sense of loyalty and can become attached to those she begins to care about. Even so, the more attached she becomes to someone, the more likely she is to want to pull pranks on them. She is easy going but can have a stubborn side if her pranks do not go well.

Background:
Yuki spent many years of her long life living in the forests surrounding the villages of the area. Playing her pranks on any who stumbled across her path while keeping herself hidden with her shapeshifting abilities. Often disguising herself as harmless forest creatures while going about her mischievous deeds. Moving from village to village once she felt like she had her fill of each village. Often living on her very own and passing her days causing various trouble for unsuspecting villagers.

Yuki had come from a family of Oni Yokai like herself that originated from the mountains of a faraway region and had slowly moved down into the valleys. Causing trouble everywhere they had gone until Yuki had reached adulthood. At which time she split off from her family and went out on her own. Wishing to discover new and interesting places to explore and new victims to have fun pranking.

Eventually on one of her many mischievous prank filled adventures she had encountered Lady Kyouko whom she had tried one of her many pranks on. Only to discover that Lady Kyouko herself was not human, but a Yokai as well. After a short discussion, Yuki quickly agreed to help Lady Kyouko out with her mission. After Lady Kyouko saw that her shapeshifting and her ability to be discreet as great assets that would help her cause.

Favorite Monster Girl: Neko/Wolf.
