This gives Yumi the ability to wield Earth, as well as Metahuman strength and agility. Her body is also more dense then the average humans. Her powers are very untamed at her young age, but as an older adult she would be capable of manipulating many materials found on Earth including stone and many natural metals. She is also what is known as a speedster, although definitely not the fastest or even close. With a connection to the spirit of Gaia, she too can communicate to plants and animals, but only in close proximity. She can also, feel what they feel and sense what they sense. | ||||||||||

Her Story
.png)
Yumi was born to a traveling gypsy called Stella Stargazer, an illusionist and self claimed seer. She worked with a traveling circus, who performed all over the States. Stella was a quite, self centered women. She did what she had to, to earn a few bucks here and there, sometimes questionable things. After one of her shows, somewhere in the southern states, a mysterious man she had noticed at several of her shows, appeared before her. He didn't stay long or even give a name, but he told her that some day soon a gift would be given to her and a choice. "Choose wisely, for the fate of many may rest in your hands." He said before leaving abruptly. She dismissed it as some crazy drunk, which in the business, you get a lot of apparently.
Several months went by and the memory of the odd man and his crazy words faded. She seemed to be doing good, making more money then she ever had. A distraction possibly? Her good fortune lasted for weeks, then months. About a year later she got tied up into some bad situations with some bad people. It lead to some unfortunate events and she was left on the side of the road as good as dead, but she survived.
Laying in the hospital bed she had a dream, or what seemed like a dream, of a beautiful women. "Stella" The woman said, "You have been selfish and miserable, I am here to present you with a gift, the gift of life. You will birth my daughter." Stella woke from the dream violently thrashing in her hospital bed. The nurses came rushing in to see what was wrong followed by the doctor. "Stella, we have some news, you are going to be ok, but your pregnant." The doctor would say with concern.
Stella never did return to the Circus, instead she stayed in Dallas, Texas were her last show was and got a job as a waitress at a bar/restaurant. It wasn't much but she was tired of all the traveling. She spent countless nights with nightmares of the mysterious man and what she had been through. She was so depressed, she attempted suicide. Again in the hospital, only this time they were loosing her. "We got to remove the bay!" one of the doctors shouted. As Stella lay there dieing, the baby was removed from her. Without a mother, family, or anyone to take care of the baby, she was put in a Orphanage and given the name Emily Marie Nadalina.
She was a very cranky baby, always crying. No matter what her caretakers did. They tried so hard to get her to relax, but nothing seemed to work. However as time went on, it seemed to pass. As a toddler, she was very cranky and always getting into trouble. Just way over curious for her own good. When she wanted something she would just take it, no disregard for the rules. As she started to walk and talk, she would argue with her caretakers, and wonder off when not under a watchful eye. It caused a lot of problems, the most important being, no one would adopt her like this. She was transferred all over the country from orphanage to orphanage, in hopes to tame her behavior. Nothing seemed to work, she was mischievous and always getting her hands on things. She was even caught stealing several times.
On her Eighth birthday she was transferred to a new place, a facility designed for gifted and troublesome youngsters, ran and funded by the government. At first she loved the place, it provided her with mental stimulation through games and puzzles. They were designed specifically to keep children with overactive minds busy and distracted and also to teach them at the same time. Emily loved the games and playing with the other children. But something didn't feel right. She soon realized that the facility was more of a prison then anything. It was secure, doors were locked, windows bared in some places and the children were rarely taken outside. She slowly began to hate the place more and more, but acted as if everything was fine, ultimately plotting her escape.
Just keep Running!
One day, the children were to be taken on a field trip, not far from the facility, not even off the grounds, but to a beautiful park surrounded by a garden, surrounded by a wall. A brick wall, twelve foot tall. Emily, was given an opportunity, a open door and an endless road laid out before her, but it was only for a brief moment and there was no way she could make it, but she ran for it anyway. Her legs felt like they had a mind of their own and before she knew it she was running faster and faster and faster, the facility was only a distant memory at this point. She didn't stop, just kept running and running, until she ran out of breath and collapsed.
She woke up in a strange but rather comfortable bed, on a beautiful morning in a room by herself. A beautiful room, clearly a little girls room. Emily got to her feet and left the room slowly, cautiously. She walked down the hall, across the balcony and down the stairs. When she approached the front door a women's voice rang out in a very soft and polite tone, "And were are you going miss? You know you almost got killed the other day." Emily turned to the women, frozen out of fear. "Were are your parents sweetheart?" The women queried. Emily stared at her blankly uncertain of how to answer. "I dunno ma'am." Emily said in a anxious tone. "In a small town like this everyone knows everyone and you ain't from around here, so how did you get here?" The women asked politely. "I ran, just ran here." Before the women could respond Emily bolted out the door and down the road, again she ran and ran as fast as she could. Everything around her became a blur, her head filled with a rush like no other as she beamed down the street then the highway, from town to town.
She truly felt free for a while, but then hungry, very hungry. She stopped off at a small restaurant on the side of a highway in the middle of nowhere. She sat at the booth and picked up a menu. "Hello there little miss, were are your folks? Are you lost?" A girls voice came from behind the menu. Emily slowly lowered the menu to take a look at the girl. "I'm lost, but its exactly were i want to be." Emily responded as she pulled the menu closer to take a look again. "Can i get One of everything?" Emily asked polity. Her question caught the attention of several patrons in the restaurant who turned to see what was going on. "Excuse me little girl, but if you cant pay then I cant serve you, we need to find your family." The waitress asked. "Good luck with that." Emily replied. Then she bolted, stealing some bread and cookies on her way out. Again she ran and ran and ran.
She started a bad habit of stealing food when she was hungry and sleeping were ever she could. She felt free and she loved it, she traveled all over the country without aim or purpose, which over time became boring. She stopped one day in Chicago, Illinois, Millennium park. She sat, staring at all the people, the little girl and boys with their families. Moms and dads taking photos of their wives and children, people happy and joyful, together. It made her heart sink. She pulled a teddy bear, a roughed up and dirty one, one she had kept with her on her journey's, from a beat up backpack on her back. "So, you are my only friend and you cant even talk to me. Look at all these people so happy with one another. I hate this, no matter how far and fast I run its never enough!" Angry and upset she stuffed her Teddy back into her backpack and began running again, faster and faster until everything was a blur again. She came to a small town and stopped to catch her breath. So angry and overwhelmed with emotion she stomped her foot on the ground. The result, massive earthquake that nearly crushed the town. Afraid of what had happened and confused she started running again and didn't even turn to look back. Confused as to what was truly going on, she decided it was time to seek out a place to call home. She made stops in several major cities, Las Vegas, L.A., Dallas, but none of them felt like home until one stop.
She made a pit stop in Nashville at a tavern off the road somewhere. She heard a rumor there, of a city, full of people with crazy powers. A place were people with super powers congregated, to defend the world from evil. A place were villains wernt just your average criminals, a place were hero's were born and even roamed the streets. Her eyes lit up and before she knew it her feet were already carrying her there.
Detroit Bound
When she finally slowed down she was standing in the middle of the Renaissance center, in the middle of Millennium city. She looked around in awe as people flew over head sparring like some crazy action flick or anime. She knew at that very moment she was finally home. She spent several days exploring the city, at first she would watch the many heroes and awkward creatures running about from afar. As the days passed by she decided it was time to settle in. West side seemed to be the place to do it, with a few shelters handing out free food and some even offering actual shelter, she decided to call it a night.
Her very first friend, other then her teddy bear, one with a beating heart even, was a man named James, a homeless man, that offered his meal to Emily. "Whats your name kid?" He asked as they ate together. "I ummm, Yumi." She decided with a nod. James offered his hand and Yumi shook it. "Nice ta, meetcha, umm." She stated. "James" he replied. "James, good name." She shot back at him as they ate. A awkward, yet endless friendship, Yumi actually looked up to James, for some odd reason. James showed her the place that he had been living, a rather large box in the scummy nearly abandoned north side of the slums. "Nice place ya got here." Yumi exclaimed as she examined the area. James pointed to a box similar to his and suggested, "You could stay there if ya aint got nowhere to go kid. That was Trevors box, but he dead now. Poor fella got hit by a bus." James would shake his head, then shrug it off. Yumi looked to James with pure excitement, "Yes please! ill take it. Sold! Wait, i aint got no money." "Don't worry about it kid, everything is free around here, just don't let anyone else take your stuff." He patted Yumi on her back. It was the start of a good relationship and a whole nother story.
Current Events

If it ever gets too large or crammed full of too much stuff I might have to separate it into its own page, We will just have to see what happens.))--
Yumi has spent some time amongst some of the so called hotspots within the city, one being her now favorite place to go. A place were she is not allowed due to her age. A place were many interesting people and some, questionable creatures go, Club Caprice. She has only been there a few times but every time she has, she has met and chatted with some interesting individuals. She met a cyborg that experiments on herself, a being that could alter its shape and size claiming to have been created as a weapon by a mad scientist, and a creature that Yumi mistaken as a bug, but in fact was an intelligent alien. She enjoys these little conversations but is easily distracted and wonders off all too often.
When wondering the streets a few blocks south of her new home, she came across a bar that she figured she could pick up a few scraps to eat. Once inside she met a few random people, a girl who gave her information on local shelters and even offered her some food and snacks. Yumi, felt warm and happy towards this girl but didn't stay long. Another time she ran into a wealthy women, who offered to take her to meet some of her fellow associates. She was the leader of some super heroine group. Yumi had a fun evening meeting with some of the girls, but she felt so overwhelmed with conflicting emotions. She felt comfortable and secure yet confused and conflicted. She enjoyed the evening with the girls and was even offered her own room. One of the girls daughter offered her some clean clothes to sleep in. But the next morning Yumi was out on the streets again. Something didn't feel right to her, it just didn't feel like home.
One of the many shelters Yumi enjoys stopping by is located in China Town on the west side of town. Its called the Moon lit cafe, it was started about the same time Yumi arrived in the city by a very wealthy women, who is known as Ty. Yumi enjoys the place because the people there are so friendly and don't mind spending time with some of the children that come by. One of the people Yumi met was a cook that came by every now and then. Her name was Jade, or at least that's what she always called herself.
Yumi, has never really had thoughts of boys in her head, a result of always being on the run and never staying to long to make any friends. One day she snuck into Carls gym looking for a free shower. While there she ran into a boy her age, roughly. He was training, for what she thought was the circus. Turns out, he was part of a demon hunting clan of ninja's. He introduced himself and they chatted for a while, then he offered Yumi a front row seat to a sparring match between the boy, Mat, and a friend of his. Lets just say Yumi, started having feelings she had never felt before. Strong, in peek physical condition, cute. She couldnt help herself. Confused by these new feelings she tried to stay away, but with so much temptation she just wanted to talk and spend more time with him and they did that evening, at Caprice. She had a good time, but all good things must end. Yumi, didnt want to admit it, but she had a crush.
Over the course of the weekend (10-12-14) the shelter held a gathering, a charity event trying to raise money and awareness for the Moonlit cafe. They were hopeing to draw attention to possible donations or people who wouldn't mind helping out as well as give all the visitors a fun clean environment to let loose and have a little fun, enjoy home cooked meals, and just relax. Yumi stopped by, but was sad at the fact Jade was not there. Even the owner of the Moonlit cafe didn't seem to be there either. However, it was a decent turnout and Yumi had a lot of fun.
Personality
Yumi has a bad habit of throwing Tantrums, very dangerous tantrums. She does not mean to harm anyone, but its a result of her lack of control of her powers as well as a lack of control of her emotions. It doesn't happen often, but when it does, watch out!
Yumi enjoys a challenge every now and then, if not she gets bored. So instead she finds ways of challenging herself. Like sneaking into Caprice or other places she isn't allowed inside. She finds it amusing and entertaining to see all the different people who come in go in such places. When Yumi is bored she tends to talk to her "teddy".
When confronted by a stranger, Yumi usually freezes and tries to pretend they aren't there, which utterly fails every time. She then goes into a secondary defense of "I didn't do it!" Which also fails every time. You think the poor girl would learn after the first few fails.
She has a hard time trusting people, making friends for her it is a real stressful task, but deep down she is alone and only wants someone close to her. With a childhood free of parents and a real structured family, its probably one of the things she wishes she had the most, although she would never admit it.
Her only real big fear is the dark, well that and loosing her "teddy" who she would probably risk her life for. She is so afraid of the dark that she keeps a flashlight with her at all times, along with some extra batteries, just encase.
When given the opportunity, she really enjoys food and will eat until she cant move anymore. Thanks to her super speed and very impressive metabolism, she can consume and digest ten times what the normal person can.
Overall, she is a nice girl who tends to keep to herself and flees when she feels threatened or bored. She is easily distracted and has a hard time carrying on any intelligent conversation for too long. Some people find her amusing and some find her annoying, but she doesn't seem to care either way.
Style
Her clothes tend to be dirty, either hand-me downs or something she got out of the garbage. She enjoys taking clothes, cutting them up, and stitching them into new creations. Some not so functional and most end up back in the garbage. But hey, it takes up some of her time and keeps her busy. She wears a lot of brown, orange, and yellow. These seem to be her favorite colors as well as on occasions grey's and pale blue's.
Likes
Food, including Hotdogs and ketchup.
Dark cola, especially Coke.
Cookies, Cake, Candy, and just about anything sugar related.
Running, really fast.
Heroes and them kicking bad guy butt.
Dislikes
Authority and being told what to do.
Getting caught.
Mustard, mayonnaise, pickles.
Fun Facts and other random stuff
Yumi is one of my random Rp characters I created and threw her into the mix almost on the spot. She is fun to Rp some times because it gives me the opportunity to get a little crazy. She is fun and like all my characters has her limits. I enjoy Rping her from time to time, but she has no real ongoing story at the moment. When I created her back story, I left a few tiny odds and ends open for possible story lines to form off of. So if i ever do decide to create a story with her I wont exactly have to pull it out of my butt, sota speak. If your interested in getting to know her IC come find me in game. @moonlitsparrow
