Personality:
Yukari is gentle and careful. Being blind she has to take things slowly and balance everything closely, since she has no idea just how tilted things really are. Yet she’s also fearless and isn’t afraid to get right up to the faces of villains and problematic people. Yukari is like a sweet flower, pretty and kind to her friends, but those who try to take a bite out from her would find that she has a teeth.
One problem Yukari does have is her reliance on others, not only to help her around her daily life, but just the fact she’s very clingy. While her disability and her ability despite that has garnered her many fans and friends, she still is very self-conscious about how others perceive her and always suspects that they might be lying just to make her feel better. She has issues trusting people’s words yet at the same time tries too hard to get them to like her. She hates the thought of people just using her just about as much as people taking pity on her.
When it comes to fighting Yukari practically flips her personality. She’s very aggressive and utilizes her quirk to it’s full effect. She doesn’t care how weird she might look and is merciless; she has no problems breaking people’s bones and crippling them if it means ending the fight. She combines graceful agility with savage brutality to become a monster in battle.
Background:
Some kids run away to join the circus. But Yukari was born into the circus; her parents were both acrobatic dancers for a trope of quirk-powered freak shows and performers. But Yukari took things up a notch; while she showed early sign of sharing her parents quirk (Flexibility and shock absorption), she was born with one more thing: Blindness. They learned about it when she was three years old, unable to see where she was going nor identify simple patterns and shapes. Despite this her parents didn’t let this stop them from teaching her everything they knew; if anything they took advantage of their daughter’s disability to turn it into a strength.
It wasn’t long before Yukari learned how to balance, tumble, and jump as well as her parents, and without ever knowing how she looked. Her parents trained her hard and emphasised her blindness in order to help the circus bring in more customers. Little Yukari became her own attraction at the circus, combining her high-risk acrobatics and her quirk to impress the audience and bring in droves of attendees. However Yukari quickly started to get delusioned at the whole circus life; it was just one performance after another, with very few chances for her to relax or just be herself. Her only solace was hearing about the gossip and news outside of the circus tent; tales of other superpowered individuals making a real difference in their lives. In the entire world. While Yukari might’ve been able to entertain others on the stage, she wanted to bring smiles to everyone in the world.
So one day, she ran away from the circus.
Yukari fled to Hosu City, where she personally sought out a place she heard so much about. A fairly new place that Yukari had heard a lot of good things about. A place where hero are made; Komei Academy. It was no UA, but it was the next best thing. Yukari couldn’t fill out paperwork and she was technically a runaway, but she was able to charm her way into the school, passing their rigorous entrance exam and proving that despite her sheltered life in the circus, she had what it took to be a hero too.
Quirk:
Rubber Soul - Yukari’s quirk gives her insane flexibility and turns her body into something akin to rubber. She can stretch any part of her body out, or expand it like a balloon. Yukari can contort her body extremely and literally tie herself into a knot with no problems. This also makes her practically immune to blunt-force attacks and being crushed to death, and even her bones cannot break. She can twist her neck without hurting herself or even suffocating. However she can still get hurt, and thus die, from cuts and stabs.

Talents:
Despite being blind, Yukari’s other senses have sharpened exponentially, allowing her to effectively live a normal life with a fair amount of ease. She utilizes all her senses, her ears, her nose, her sense of touch, and even taste to sense the area around her. While the range of her senses isn’t as far as some people's regular sight, she can still perceive most of the world around her in a 60 feet radius, and react to it quickly.
Yukari has an amazing sense of balance and acrobatics thanks to all her years with the circus. She can balance on a thread and always lands on her feet no matter how she falls. Her balance extends to anything else she’s using to balance too, such as unicycles, sticks, and other people. Yukari’s acrobatics also allows her to easily avoid people’s attempts to trip her or maneuvering on slippy surfaces like ice or water.
