Empress Yuki

Short Description
Yuki has long white thin hair alongside with pink redish eyes. She has a normal beach colored skin and her height is 175 cm, her face is quite clean and smooth but her build is rather rough after all the training and experiences she has overcome with her teacher. She usually wears a red hanfu with some black shades that she got from her parents, which also would be their last present for her. The picture below shows when Yuki got possessed by a demon.

Yuki prefers to be alone, she does not trust anyone but she will not attack a person without a good reason. She accepts everyone. Although she prefers to be alone, she hold her friends close and she is not afraid to risk her life if it is for a person who is important to her.

Eglarest
Yuki grew up in Eglarest, an elf empire and the leading people of the beautiful city were Ame which was the Empress and Hyo who was the Emperor and those two were Yuki's parents. Eglarest was not the most successful empire when it comes to military strength but it had a lot of inhabitants, but the looming evil of the demon empire Milmoroth was thirsty for blood which made the Eglarest empire perturbed thus making the empire focus more on improving the military so they can defend from their foes. Yuki, as naive as she was spent no time training and instead spent most of her days with her friends and loved ones because she believed that her empire could defend Eglarest. She was happy, these warm feelings of love and affection she had when spending time with her friends and beloved ones was something she held dear, something she wished could last forever, something she could remember for all entirety. But... the inevitable despair would come sooner or later...

The day
Eventually, the day Yuki would lose everything has come. Eglarest was attacked by Milmoroth and their army was so great which forced the inhabitants to abandon the city because they were too overwhelmed by the oppositions force. Yuki, her friends, and her parents ran, they ran for their lives, they ran from death itself. But they were not fast enough. Yuki was struggling to keep up, Yuki's mother Ame looked back to check on Yuki and she saw that a demon was just about to stab her, Ame ran and grabbed Yuki and pushed her to Hyo that grabbed her so she did not get hurt by the impact. Yuki was now safe but she wondered why her mother pushed her so she looked back to which Yuki finally learned how cruel life could be, Yuki saw her mother Ame had been stabbed through the heart which made Yuki's father Hyo furious but unfortunately his attempt for revenge was in vain, when she saw both her parents die in front of her she became silent, stood still and her eyes became empty, her friends dragged her and they kept running... she looked back at her lifeless parents who were looking at her with vacant eyes but still warmly smiling as if saying "We love you", she thought to herself "I'm sorry, I'm sorry for being so weak... I'm so sorry." Tears started to pour and her mind was all over the place alongside with her chest hurting as if broken.

The Lost One
After many years after the conflict and years of wandering Yuki spent most of her days training her swordsmanship, but also magic because her mother was a mage and her father was a swordsman. The reason why she trained in both magic and swordsmanship was because she loved both of them equally and wanted to redeem her pathetic self for being so weak the day she lost them so she spent years training magic and swordsmanship to make her parents proud and forgive her in the heavens. Another reason was because she felt lost and wanted to find the path to her life again.

One day the survivors entered the endless desert. They started setting up tents to try to catch their breath and rest for a few days. But unfortunately in the middle of the night a herd of demons attacked them, they were quickly scattered and Yuki tired to rendezvous with her friends, she fought and struggled but the demons managed to scratch her but she did not care and kept on until she finally managed to break through and see her friends, but... it was too late, Yuki saw her friends laying on the blood-stained sand with their eyes wide open. Pain and grief began to fill her emotions as she tried her best to fight the strong bloodthirsty demons but deep down she wanted to die, die here with her friends, die to quench the pain and grief, die here so she could see Mom and Dad again. She could have escaped if she wanted to, but escaping all by herself and leave the people she loved behind was something she never wanted to do again, she'd rather die than leave her beloved ones behind one more time, she would never be able to forgive herself if she ran away alone. She gave up and was knocked down by the demons, in her last moments when she looked up at the sky which was filled with white shiny and glittery stars, she thought to herself how pathetically weak she was, her parents died because she could not do anything and now her friends died because she was too weak, she could not protect anything at all, she was so angry and disappointed in herself so tears slowly began to flow from Yuki's sandy and cold cheeks, she began to lose consciousness and the last thing she said with a weak voice almost as whispering in pain “If God is there, I will give you everything if you give me another chance... another chance so I can finally be useful and save the people I love...”

Purple haired maiden
Then out of nowhere, someone showed up, seconds later all the demon animals were slaughtered and Yuki was saved, as if someone answered her calls. She slowly rolled over to see a girl with purple hair and a black cloak standing over her friends. They then stood and wiped her blade clean of the blood with her cloak and turned to catch eyes with Yuki. The purple haired female face seemed to gleem up with happiness as if glad to see someone still alive after the carnage. She then walked over to Yuki and kneeled down next to her to ask if she was okay. Yuki’s words were lost as if she couldn’t think of what to say. She wanted to ask who they were, how they got here, how they handled the demons, but then she remembered what happened before. Yuki remembered she was scratched by a demon meaning that she could still die even after being saved. She began to cry, but was it tears of happiness so she could finally rest or was it tears of regret? We would never know and a few seconds later she fell over unconscious.

After she woke up she realized she was in some kind of cabin in the middle of the woods, lit up by the light orange color of the lanterns and the fire, dark color of the wood the house was built of, dark woods looming around outside the window, a compact place that seemed to be filled with books and weaponry. The place gave Yuki a large sense of comfort and made her feel at home as if nothing could go wrong. Then the sense of worry and anxious loomed over her. Her friends, her beloved ones and her parents all had just been killed, and somehow she was still alive but she now could never forgive herself because yet again... she had left her beloved ones behind. Then she remembered she was saved, saved by some girl with purple hair and a sword. She began to feel anxious and sat up to quickly look around to see if there was danger. She broke out of the blankets and patterned quilt that was covering her. She looked around to notice a cup of hot tea and a bowl of soup to her side. She ignored it even though she hadn’t eaten in who knows how long. She was worried. She then locked eyes on the purple haired maiden who saved her.

Sknow
She was by the fire cutting up pieces of wood. She seemed relaxed and happy. Yuki froze for a moment realizing she was safe now and there was someone there to save her. She then turned to see that Yuki was now awake and seemingly anxious or worried. She turned to Yuki with a pleasant smile to try and show Yuki she was safe now. Yuki’s worries seemed to fade away. She then asked, “are you feeling okay? My name is Sknow what's your name” Yuki, hesitant to respond, said, “Uh, um, yeah I... think i'm okay... I'm Yuki... What happened?” with a silent and shy voice “You were being attacked by some demons and I stumbled upon you guys during the attack and decided to try and help. I tried to save your friends but I was too late, but gladly you were still able to be saved.” Sknow responded. Yuki asked a question out of worry “Wait, where are we? How did we get out of the desert?” Sknow, looking at the scared Yuki replied “Oh, it took a little while, but I brought you out and took you here” Yuki was still confused and said “Wait, how did we escape the desert, the closest way out was months away?” Sknow did not want to scare Yuki but she had to say it “Well, it was months, you have been asleep for a while now. I would guess around 3 months now.” Yuki froze and fear started to loom over her “What? How have I been out for so long? How bad was I hurt?” “You died.” Sknow said silenty which Yuki responded with "I died? Where are we then? Is this heaven?” Sknow said “No, no, you are alive now, I brought you back. Although you aren’t the same as you used to be.” A bit confused Yuki asked “What do you mean I’m not the same as I used to be?” Sknow responded with “I had to use an ancient power to be able to save you. I had to use demonic power to save you.” Yuki got angry and said “Demonic power? Is it from demons? The same thing that I have been trying to fight and escape from, the monsters who made my life miserable and killed all the people I loved!?” Sknow could understand the pain that Yuki was going through Yuki was now a demon, the very thing she hated with her utter being, the thing she would never forgive. Sknow with a sorry look responded with “Well, it isn’t the same kind of demon, I’m not the same as them, I actually hunt them down and kill them.” Yuki was still confused and asked “Wait, so what does that mean?” Sknow said “Well, I used to be human and then I got demonic power, just like you now, and I have now been spending my life trying to destroy demons. What's so hard about that?” Yuki feeling overwhelmed with all the information wanted to know something simple and asked “So, are we safe now?” which Sknow smiled warmly and said “Yeah, we are safe. You can relax. Any questions you want to ask me I will answer, but other than that. Do you not like soup or something? Or do you just not like eating food.”

Yuki’s hunger then hit her and she turned to the soup and ate it all in one go. Then she turned to the tea and drank it all in one go as well. “So you were hungry,” said Sknow. “So, who are you?” Yuki asked “I’m just an old wanderer traveling around to try and protect people who need protection and kill people who do bad things.” Yuki asked if she could be alone for awhile which Sknow respectfully accepted, Sknow left and closed the door and now Yuki was alone with her thoughts and started to cry yet again. Yuki, the lost one, the one who has lost everything and become the very thing she hated was in full regret. How would she forgive herself? After some hours she went to Sknow and said "Please make me your apprentice and I'll swear to risk my life for you." Sknow smiled and happily responded with "My pleasure."
