█BACKGROUND ▬ The first born of Midori Hoshiko and Takehiko Jirou Tora's children, Yukiko remembers fondly as they lived in the apartment above the tea shop. Back when it was just her parents and herself, she remembered her father just starting out and she was a troublesome cub growing up. ▬ It was a happy a normal childhood but spent a lot of time with parents who took turns watching her. ▬ By the time she was 4-years-old, Yuki was blessed with a younger brother that summer; something she had asked for last Christmas. So excited was she, that the young tigress hardly left her brother alone. ▬ To Yukiko, Ichirou was her first friend, even before she could play with him. She would naturally feel some resentment of the babe though at first since she was used to being the center of her parents' attention; growing out of it once she was alone with her brother. ▬ She started elementary school at the age of 5, excited as ever to get to meet children her age. ▬ Her parents would introduce her to weapon training and self-defense techniques at the age of 8. It was during this time that her younger sister Haruko was born. ▬ By the age of 10, she was being left alone to look after her brother once they were home from school. She would take Ichi to the park on these days and even teach him some games. ▬ By age 12 she was training alongside her brother, who was now 8-years-old, after school and homework were finished. The Tora family would then cook and spend time together in the evenings. ▬ During her twelfth spring one night, she would also be blessed with another baby sister. She noticed their little apartment starting to grow a little cramped though as the siblings got older. ▬ At the age of 14, Yukiko was experiencing her first crush, on a boy in class. Her brother decided to be a butt (he was 10 at the time) and tried to cut in "on behalf of her honor". Needless to say, the rebellious tigress would "deal with him" properly and he never again would interfere in her affairs again. It was also at this tender age of transitioning from girl to woman that she came to realize her way of love would be...different from most of the normal people. ▬ At the age of 16 she would attend Beacon Academy, becoming a part of Team CLAY (Alex Coldwater; Lidia Pompom; Kayla Appleplume; Yuki Tora), and through many trials and errors form the strong bonds she has today (in particular was a girl a few years younger than herself named Dracaena whom she would later create a strong friendship with). She would lose friends/lovers and gain them throughout her school-life while also balancing time to keep her siblings out of trouble. (Her younger siblings would also join Beacon when they turned 16 as well). ▬ When she was 17, she left school for a day in order to see her new baby sister (Mori-chan) who was born early on an Autumn morning. ▬ When she graduated from Beacon at age 19, she would not go through with being a huntress and would actually go in with her father in learning to run the tea shop/restaurant. It was after her graduation that she also began to live in the apartment above the bookshop, rather than the tea shop. ▬ When she was twenty the Tora family was blessed with their last and youngest child, Fuyuko. And she would be the most adored of them all. It was also the year they bought and built the home that the entire Tora family could live in together under one roof comfortably. Giving them a chance to rent the apartments above both shops. ▬ Three years later, she would hear of the tragedy that befell her friend Dracaena and stay by her side as both moral and emotional support as the younger woman healed. Though she had many lovers, Yukiko found her platonic friendship with Drac to be one of her most cherished relationships next to her relationship with the loving and supportive family. ▬ When not going on dates, helping to run the tea shop, she would make new blends with her father. She would also still be keeping an eye on their adventurous younger sisters, until they would start school. ▬ Things were peaceful and when her younger brother and the second eldest sister graduated they followed in taking care of and eventually owning the shops, with Ichi becoming chef and co-owner with Yuki of the tea shop. ▬ At the age of 26, the family would experience the tragedy that was the house being burnt down by some freak accident and their parents becoming trapped inside, resulting in their deaths. Stepping up and proving she and Ichirou and Haruko were responsible for it, they rightly adopted their youngest siblings so that none of the Tora siblings would be separated, Ever. ▬ It has been two years since they rebuilt their home, buried their parents' ashes in the tribute garden, and now raise their youngest siblings, but she tries to raise them right while living a life as balanced as possible. Training them with the skills they were taught by their parents and instill the values to be a good person. But more importantly, that they know, she will protect them, no matter what.
█FUTURE PLANS ▬ No death is planned for her. She is the sole owner of the Tora family's tea shop and restaurant. She lightly and platonicly flirts with everyone she meets, but only has a few lovers in a poly-amorous relationship.

It was hard to have Miya start Beacon, but she would support her little sister, proud of her decision. ▬ Now 29, it's been 3 years since her parents passed away and one year since Tsuki had started Beacon. She's still in a loving, polyamorous relationship with her previous teammates since they'd graduated Beacon (Alex and Kayla). And from that beautiful union, the tigress would find herself blessed with child inside her after their last hunting mission.
█FUTURE PLANS ▬ No death is planned for her. She is the sole owner of the Tora family's tea shop and restaurant. She lightly and platonicly flirts with everyone she meets, but only has two lovers she's in a polyamorous relationship with. And pregnant with plans to have the child as time passes.
