Characterization
Physical Description
Yuuki's a rather small girl: below average height and weight, a petite build, small facial features. A pair of dark eyes peer out from beneath a curtain of light brown, almost auburn hair. Her soft, pale skin is mostly unblemished, save for a smattering of freckles kissing her cheeks and nose...and the scars.
Zig-zagging across the girl’s body are a number of jagged scars, most somewhat shallow and well healed by now. However, a significantly deeper one marks the girl's face, drawn from above her right eye (two centimeters above the outer end of her brow) carving out diagonally and vertically about seven centimeters across her forehead/scalp. Unless she absolutely has to wear her hair completely up, Yuuki’s bangs typically hide the worst of it.
Her largest scars, however, are on her legs. Or rather, what remains of them. Along the bottom of her stumps are the telltale signs of surgery — long scar tissue with short, symmetrical offshoots running along the length as if her legs were held closed by invisible centipedes.
Rather obviously, Yuuki is an amputee. A bilateral above-knee amputee to be exact. Everything from about her mid-thigh down had to be removed. As such, she gets around on a pair of computer-assisted prosthetic legs, which allow her to walk about as well as a non-amputee, although more complex, agile movements are beyond her. Her gait, while significantly improved after years of adjusting to her new legs, is still somewhat...off.
Outside of her school uniform, Yuuki doesn't exactly have a set style of clothing she likes to wear. If it's not too small and doesn't smell too bad, she'll wear it. Which makes her a nightmare to actually shop with. The girl has zero sane fashion sense. She tends to gravitate towards more...unique items. Basically the weirder the better.

Home Life
Yuuki lives with her father, Itou Hiroshi, in a small one bedroom apartment (1DK) in a multi-unit block not too far from Fujioka Senior High: her getting the bedroom with western style bed, him sticking with a tatami mat in the living space. They live rather frugally, due in part to Hiroshi’s frequent job-hopping. Never much of a traditional guy, Hiroshi spent most of his youth aspiring to make it successful as a musician. Despite actually being rather talented, Hiroshi’s career never actually took off and with no real education or tradeskill to fall back on, the Itou family had to mainly rely on Yuuki’s mother as the main breadwinner.
She passed in the same accident that claimed the Itou’s eldest daughter and Yuuki’s legs.
The tragedy brought the two much closer together than they might have otherwise been. Yuuki adores her father, but worries that he’s pushing himself too hard or that he’s going without so that she can have more. He worries that he’s not doing enough.
They may not have much, but at least they have each other.
Personal Motivation
LIVE!! That’s Yuuki’s plan. That’s her motive. Having already had a couple brushes with the whole death thing, the idea of working in some office day in and day out or sitting at home being a housewife makes her nauseous. She wants to see the world. Catch a boat or plane after graduation and just see what’s out there. Go to some foreign city in Australia, Europe, or even the States and be a street musician.
As far as school is concerned...well, Yuuki doesn’t really care too much. As long as she doesn’t fail, she’ll be fine. And even if she does...oh well. Minimum effort! She’s much more interested in just meeting some new people.
