ABILITIES&WEAPONS
Ability:
Temperature Flux -
Temperature Flux:
She can choose either to absorb heat and warmth from the surrounding area or to release it and raise the temperature. If she chooses to take in the heat, her internal temperature rises, but within an enclosed area, there is the chance of freezing the water in the area. If the inverse, intense heat might cause water to evaporate. Either condition is unpleasant for those unable to adapt to it.
Weakness: Either condition can only be held for a certain amount of time. The more extreme temperature she manipulates or holds, the less time she can hold it. For instance, 40 degrees from the normal temperature can be maintained for an hour. 70 degrees difference can only be held for a half hour. 60 degree difference only for ten minutes. 100 Degrees can only be held for five minutes. 110 Degree difference can only be held for one minute.
The more extreme the change, the longer it takes for her own temperature to recover. Mild changes usually take only a few short hours, whereas the most extreme changes can require a day's rest.
Weakness:
However, the more drastic the change, the longer she takes to recover, and at the higher temperatures, the greater risk she takes to her own health. For instance, if she encourages frost or ice to form because she takes in the heat, she almost immediately runs a fever, and she needs to either expel this heat quickly or fall sick. Likewise in reverse, if she expels a violent heat-wave into the surrounding area, she loses that internal temperature and can easily suffer from hypothermia, regardless of the weather.
This power is most effective in an enclosed environment, or inside.
Weapon:
If she must wield a weapon, it will be a lightweight rapier. She's trained in its use, but she much prefers not to do any fighting at all, and certainly hasn't the strength to do much more than parrying.
Having recovered her father's sword, and now possessing the space to practice, she undertakes training under the supervision of more experienced warriors. She intends to be able to protect her wards, violently if the need arises. Her father's sword was a well-maintained heirloom from warring days, fashioned of stone and smelted in deep volcanic depths.
[Ao - Slightly curved blade meant for rending. Strikes much like a talon and hails after an era when the phoenix fought against scales and needed blades that would quickly rend whatever flesh was exposed.]

Enduring Daimyo:
As long as Youkimi stands on Ethe's land, she is strengthened by the Goddess' blessing. This is particularly true in Kaishin. She gains +25 to her strength, a +20 to agility, and +20 to her endurance, but only when she is on her lands. Elsewhere in Ethe, she only gains a strength to her endurance of +10 and agility of +15. Outside of Ethe, she retains her original stats. Alongside the boosts to her stats, those rallied under her banner benefit from Master's Presence. Her powers, in Ethe, also gain an additional boost of 25% temperature increase. This is incrementally magnified in enclosed settings, such as a room, cave, or other sealed environment.
Moeru: As a matter of honor as Regent Queen of Ethe, Youkimi stands to defend her country, her people, and its way of life. If she is forced to take up the blade, she will do so, just as her father and ancestors did as far back as history remembers. In combat, the highest skill in the room is applied (or temporarily replaces) her agility skill, allowing her to maintain some manner of footing between herself and her opponent.
Master's Presence grants 5 additional points to her allies as they fight alongside her or in her defense.
SECRETS
Bio: Daughter of academics and practitioners of magic, Youkimi was raised with the history and a deep appreciation and understanding of the world they were a part of. She was often around higher nobles and rulers of clans, so while she was not of the common citizenry, it was also certain that she was not a true noble herself, at least by blood. Her father was a court spellweaver, and of a house that her mother married into. Thus raised, it was instilled in her how to carry herself around nobles, differences in titles, ranks, and also to be aware of the different skills that people can have. Networking, indeed, is a learned skill. It comes in handy.
As a noble, she saw to the protection of her corner of Ethe. However, when the volcano erupted, she flew and escaped, and with her flew some of her servants. Others, in the rush and panic, were crushed by debris and tuff. Her home and the city was leveled, and her belongings and wealth were lost in the panic of everything. As a Baroness, she felt that she had failed the people who depended on her and those who looked up to her as their landowner. On landing in Bellris soil, she collapsed and cried.
The eruption killed the Baron, her father, and her siblings were unable to escape the volcano's blast. Youkimi worked for many months in Bellris, and struggled to re-establish business ties to fund the efforts of refugees to settle, should they so desire, into lands such as Bellris and Lionis. She found many struggles, as those local to those regions greatly disliked the arrival of the refugees, despite their willingness to work and make their way. Youkimi reached out among the nobility, for assistance where it could be found and from those who would be willing to assist her people.
The prince of Bellris, one she knew at first only as Knight Roland, reached out to Youkimi, expressing a desire to help and offering the possibility of greater assistance from the Bellrisian government. He was willing to speak on her behalf before the head councilwoman. An anonymous letter arrived, drenched in distance and with limited civility. Later, a meeting was officially arranged, and Youkimi arrived to meet the unnamed councilwoman, who held her sleeping infant in her arms.
Nothing was accomplished in that meeting, Youkimi would regret acknowledging, but not because she wasn't willing to have conversation with the woman. The former queen did not introduce herself, nor was she officially given the name of her guest, who she could only assume was the baroness. Assuming that the baroness only wanted power in Bellris, to be a councilwoman herself, she demanded that Youkimi give up her lands and title in Ethe for the privilege. As this was far from what Youkimi wanted, and to give up her authority and responsibility would be counterproductive to all efforts to help her people. Besides, it was insulting to be expected to make way for a baby instead of having the same infant be left in the care of a nanny so that its mother could do business like an adult instead of a stubborn and thoughtless adolescent.
She returned to her work and when she visited Ethe and saw sprouts, she accelerated the spread of this information and encouraged Ethe's people to return home. Many did. Many also decided to remain in their newly settled homes. They did so with her blessing. Now, she is found in Ethe, helping her people, and those in her kingdom rebuild their homes... She knows she has enemies, for one burned down her former abode in Bellris, an act that killed eight. The Baroness Kai has not forgotten.
The following year was harder, but in a different way. Returning to Ethe, she returned to the Queen's side, to assist and to give the queen respite from her hurt, her pain, and the trauma that the eruption and all that befell her. Silently lending her heart and aid, Youkimi managed the affairs of the nation, allowing for the country to survive a sudden absence of meat due to the toxic plague of the wall, arranging trade and encouraging the economy's growth again, and also managing to meet the face of one who had been deemed dead. Personally heartbroken at the loss of the queen, Youkimi silently deemed it a personal failing that she had not done more for the well being of the wounded queen. The twins that the queen left behind were taken into Youkimi's care, and as per the decree, they would qualify for the throne when of age. In the meantime, Youkimi stands as regent for the nation, and she will carry her duty.
Dreams: Recovering and reclaiming her home in Ethe.
Greatest fears: Impotency, being unable to help anything, being without voice. Being an outcast from friends and family. [Realized]
Thunderstorms, Hurricanes, Volcanoes... Ethe scattered and crushed by militant enemies.
Unique mannerisms/physical habits: She carries a fan with her, the only thing she had with her when the volcano blew. She sometimes holds onto it as though it is precious. She finds that she needs it when she takes in too much heat at a given time.
