Yuina Higashi

If you lost your entire memory, your entire sense of self, do you dwell on it, or take an opportunity to build something new?

Time is... Relative, a concept, an arbitrary way to measure the moment's of one's life.

But when time has gone, disappeared, and you're left with what's essentially a new timer that's started back from zero, what do you do? Yuina's life started over again from square one when she arrived in Petalburg City, with no knowledge of who she was, where she was from, or even if Yuina is her real name. She's managed to make a meager living since then, but someone can't just start their life over and not wonder what their life was before? It's a plaguing question, an impossibly heavy sense of loss to carry, but when the only option is to keep moving forward...

Currently living in Petalburg City, Yuina is still desperately trying to work on her sense of self, her sense of belonging, even in knowing that this current self is not her whole self. She's learning, adapting, and making waves in putting herself out there as a Ranger, but at the end of the day she just wants to know... If there was a reason for this? If there was a reason her life started over? And does she need to be afraid of what happens if her two lives collide? Will they clash, or was the person she was before someone that could live in this life she's building now?

Beneath the Surface

Two Roads Diverged In A Yellow Wood, And I, I Can't Bear to Choose...

The main themes that Yuina's character are built around is the duality of one's self and having to make those tough decisions about who someone wants to be as a person. Not many people in life are given a chance to "start over" and actually wipe the slate clean, for themselves included, so how does one handle living a brand new life while knowing that your old life is still out there?
Playing on the heavy questions of if she was the same person as she is now, or could her life before exist with this new life? Does she prefer this new life, but how can she make that decision if she doesn't know what her old life was like? And would the people in this new life still be here if her old life surfaces?

In the midst of it all, the struggle of wanting to know and not wanting to know are there as well, with the thought of what if she's not that person any more, and what if she wasn't the person that she is now? The longer she builds in this new life, the more painful it will be to have it disrupted, but how could she go on without knowing if people are looking for her, missing her?

There are so many poignant questions that have come up that have made this narrative very dynamic, and it will all boil down to what happens when her two lives actually collide? And when they do, which life will she align with and lead from there?

CURRENT PLOTS

There is Nothing Pleasant in Rest

When being left alone with yourself is your own personal hell, how much will you do to keep running from yourself?
Yuina is struggling with her identity and fighting with herself now more than ever. Whether it be the idea that she's running out of time on what might be fated for her, or concerned about how much hurt she is liable to cause everyone around her, she has become her own worst enemy. And in tandem with trying to find any shred of clarity about herself, the only way she knows how to combat this enemy is by distraction. You can't be upset if you're too exhausted to think about it.

SEEKING:

• Missions, work, ranger, league or otherwise
• Anything other characters are working on that they need bodies or power for
• Anything to keep busy and keep distracted

Forced to Fight

League vs Rocket. Black and white. Good vs Evil. Its the only thing that matters as the region continues to fall to the ire of the faction war, but there's more than just the near sighted blood for blood price that each side feels they're entitled to.
Yuina holds little regard for the faction war at large. Both sides are responsible and accountable for how much ruin has taken over Hoenn, and beyond that it's not her fight. She's a cosmic mistake that isn't supposed to be in Hoenn in the first place, and now that she can only assume that she is working for or with the Drk Triad, an enemy to both sides, she doesn't feel that she should be in the fight at all.
Yet her hand has been forced. Fighting for her own life is the only fight she can manage right now, but she worries how closely the league might be watching, monitoring her. Would any sign on insubordination or fraternization raise suspicion against her already fragile 'alignment'?

SEEKING:

• What rockets will or won't kill her where she stands? She'll never throw the first hit, but will defend herself. This doesn't mean she fights for the league however
• Yuina doesn't know who she can trust. Who in the league is watching her to protect her, and who is watching her to find cause to take action against her?
• As the faction war is the primary focus for many, her views can be a point of contention... Which works well for being able to push people away, to keep them at arms length from her and how she could hurt them in the future

Anomalous

One of the many things that Yuina busies herself with are the vast amounts of anomalous events and phenomena that continue to ravage Hoenn. While both sides of the war are always consumed by trying to best the other faction, Yuina feels that everything else tearing up the region goes ignored. Are dynergy caves expanding or growing and creating an entire network beneath Hoenn? Is The Never Rot out there again as the Toxic Chain still continues to spread? Time Space Distortions have started to break into Ultra Space, Shadow Pokémon could be becoming a natural part of Hoenn's ecology, Paradox Pokémon continue to emerge from interdream mist in the Great Chasm. There's no shortage of things that are happening outside of the war itself that should raise concern. Is anyone paying attention?

SEEKING:

• Yuina actively investigates any and all 'anomalous' events through the region. Distortions, strange weather patterns, drastic changes in a given environment. If you see something, say something
• While she is not a league sanctioned scientist, Yuina has garnered a lot of studies and information herself on various anomalous species. Toxic Chains, Shadows, Illumina, Paradoxes, she has a wealth of information and can either tell you about them or help you defend against them
• Yuina will go just about anywhere, Ultra space, power spots, the Distortion World, Area Zero, she can be a body for a study or an expedition

Drk Triad

The entirety of the AQUA council is aware not only of Yuina's mishap with time space distortions and her memory loss, but that she could also be working for or with the Drk Triad, without knowing or remembering. This, coupled with the triad's spike in activity in various facets and the 'white haired lady' continuing to interfere with Yuina, this has made the organization as a whole very prominent at present. They are not only a threat to the entirety of Hoenn and beyond, but they continue to be a threat to Yuina and the life she wants to live. She will fight against the triad, and fight with anyone who stands to oppose them too.

SEEKING:

• Yuina is now trying to pursue anything about the Drk Triad, including RKS simulations!
• Information about recent Triad interferences, from anyone. She has information about the league 'plate' and the message scrawled on it
• Any other bits and bobs about the triad, also pending for when IN SITU releases

Last Known Sighting

The draconic, dark-blue crest from Celebi's vision to her continues to hold its place in the back of Yuina's mind. While she still knows and understands very little about the vision, when it might happen, if it would happen at all, or if it could even be from an alternate timeline, she's grasping at straws in the kind of way someone does when they feel like they're running out of time and options.
The vision meant something... but how long has it been since that Pokémon has been seen anywhere?

SEEKING:

• Information from and about Littleroot PAAA. Doesn't matter from who or what side, if they participated or not
