YOKO YOSHIOKA

APP ■ TWENTY-FIVE ■ FEMALE (CIS) ■ BISEXUAL ■ HUMAN

SUSTAINED BY IMMORAL OBSERVANCE, A DOMINEERING DEITY

YOKO YOSHIOKA IS A TERRIFYING PRESENCE TO MANY, an insignificant flea to others.
Through her unique domination over information, and her connections that spread their sickly vines all throughout Japan, Yoko sits as the heiress to a Yakuza family virtually untouchable by all of those who have crossed her path. A single inch of her personal space invaded, a single hair upon her head removed, even a momentarily mistaken sideways glance is enough to get the girl's bodyguards, concealed from view, to jump to her defense. Be you an ordinary human being or a spiritual entity, Yoko does not know fear and neither do those that work underneath her thumb. She delights on gathering information and putting people in unfavorable positions, while also maintaining the typical likes and activities of a young woman. Whether it's going out on dates or making a man choose who lives or dies between his wife of thirty years and his six year old daughter, with the potential for both of their deaths looming over his head, Yoko indulges in her vices and shuns her virtues, losing herself in the ecstasy of growth.

FRIENDSHIPS

Becoming friends with Yoko and/or maintaining a friendship with her is not hard. Many do not know of the dark double life that she leads, and have grown close purely on the belief that Yoko is a friendly, outgoing upper class woman. Sure, they may grow suspicious of her many bodyguards but none have dared to question just what kind of ties she has. Whether it's allying with the Yoko she shows everyone or the darker information broker and heiress to the Yoshioka Yakuza family line, friendship with Yoko is surely just as unpredictable as being adversaries. She'll tease, joke around, offer a shoulder to cry on, and do everything that further fuels her ability to gather information on the emotions and decision making abilities of those around her.

HATESHIPS

The easiest category to find yourself in where Yoko is concerned. Becoming enemies with Yoko is fairly natural, and the quickest option for any who find themselves falling into the "do gooder" archetype, especially those actively working against organizations like the Yakuza. Maybe some information Yoko gave someone as an information broker went bad, or she did something to personally antagonize someone. Kidnap victims also fall into this category, as do those who simply show aggression or negative reactions toward Yoko while her bodyguards or family are present. Those who know Yoko's true nature drift closer and closer to falling into this category and, though she might seem invincible, many have wished to shatter that indomitable aura around Yoko, finding it a far greater task than usual. With a woman who can read into people's pasts, personalities, and even gauge their race, on top of being the kind of woman that enjoys antagonizing others, it is almost guaranteed that she's going to make her fair share of enemies out of the other PCs in existence.

LOVESHIPS

While Yoko is known to go out on dates and do some teasing through flirtation, to actually gain a relationship with her that develops into romantic territory is extremely dangerous. Whomever would gain this kind of love out of Yoko would discover that she would direct most of her more violent, dangerous tendencies toward them, wanting to see just how far she could push her loved one until they break. To fall in love with Yoko is common, the woman destroying many love letters and denying many confessions, as well as going against any pre-determined marriage plans to other Yakuza heirs, but for her to fall in love with someone is an entirely different prospect. She's even got the potential to outright kill them after reaching the highest peak of affection that she could attain, just to experience a brand new emotion: a more permanent, heart shattering loss. This is an extremely unlikely area of Yoko's character that probably won't be explored anytime soon, but is still left here for the potential.
