Character Details

♦ APPEARANCE: Once upon a time Yuli had the dark red hair and grey eyes of her father but after becoming a Chimaera her features changed drastically. Her hair went pure white, not a hint of grey or silver to be seen. Her eyes brighten to a blue. The only thing she managed to keep since her childhood is her fair complexion. Yuli has kept her hair short since the war, usually only her bangs growing long enough to shadow her eyes. Her skin holds hidden scars, some of which are nearly invisible against the transparency of her skin. Those healed over time and through some help, others managed to heal up well enough that they left only tiny marks. She stands at a decent 5'5" with her weight being a healthy mass of 116lbs, most of it being the muscle which makes her body so lean.

♦ PERSONALITY: After being labeled a 'murderer' by the common folk, it isn't easy for Yuli to just go up to a random person and say 'hi'. While she isn't exactly hostile, the girl can be... difficult to say the least. She's a contradiction of herself. She doesn't like to talk or start conversations but she hates silence, she says she doesn't trust anyone and yet she'll believe anything she hears. There are a few words you could use to describe her. Fool would be one. Gullible could be another. But the one feature of her's that sticks out the most is her fierce loyalty. She'll say she doesn't like you but she'll give you half her rations if you look hungry, she says she'll never trust you and yet she'll throw herself in front of a mob. That's what she does for her friends, all of which in her mind are 'allies' or 'benefits'. Of course being labeled as one of those is as difficult as she is but some may learn her quirks better than others.

Outside her 'Chimaera' persona (basically herself dealing with strangers), Yuli can be seen as an insecure girl with some serious social awkwardness fazes. She's shy, worries about the littlest things, and happens to like stuffed animals quite a bit. Thanks to her time in the military, some of her got tweaked a bit; like: she gets stubborn and holds a wonderful pokerface. Of course military-life is still considered to be part of her 'Chimaera-persona' but in truth it leaks to both sides.

♦ CHIMAERA: For one, if you were a girl and your 'other half' happened to be a BUG; would you be happy? In the beginning Yuli absolutely despised her DNA half, always wishing that if they chose a bug they should have made her a beautifly. But volcarona's DNA helped her immensly during her time in the war as an assassin. She wasn't strong like some of the other Chimaeras, neither physically nor DNA-pokemon-wise. But when she was stuck out in the middle of nowhere and had to get back to camp, her flame body kept her warm and alive. Plus, Volcarona can fly. That right there is an immense help when your trying to get past hordes of enemy soldiers. It also helped when you needed to sabotage something. So now, yes; Yuli likes her 'buggy-self'. While shifting into a bug isn't quite as strenuous as turning into some goliath of a monster, it does cost quite a bit of energy. But then again she's a fire-type so of course she would need to eat a lot anyway. Yuli does hold a secure sense of sanity in her shifted form.

History

Looking at her name surely you wouldn't think Yuli was born as some commoner. No, Yuli was the first daughter of the de'Magistris family - a noble house in the Crimson Kingdom. But, as how many noble problems might start out from birth; Yuli's father was a common man. Or so her aunt kept telling her. She lived with her mother, sister to the head of the de'Magistris and his wife and single son. While not 'completely' of noble blood, she was still prized by her Uncle who was father-figure of the time. Her cousin was very kind toward her despite his mother's insistance that he treat her like some servant child. Thankfully he was a young adult who didn't very much care about her attitude (he was fifteen when Yuli was born).

Like many a noble child, Yuli grew up learning everything from etiquete to war strategy. One of the Crimson Kingdom couldn't just let a mind dull before it was even tested after all. At least that's what her Uncle would tell her whenever they played chess together. She would often follow her cousin around, mimicking his every move. You could say she had quite the little crush on him and he seemed to adore her efforts so it was all the more painful when he was 'summoned' to the war. She can still remember how eagerly she waited at her window sill, ignoring her tutor; watching for any sign of her cousin on his rapidash. When notice of death came, the entire family was in despair. Yuli's mother grieved while her Uncle hunted down the platoon that had struck his son down. His wife took his death harder then even Yuli, nearly falling into hysteria. Some time passed but only Yuli's mother and Uncle had accepted the death of their family member. While Yuli still grieved, she found comfort in the Growlithe pups that their hounds-trainer raised. Her Uncle's wife on the other hand would only fall farther into madness.

One day her Uncle declared Yuli as heir-apparent to his house, seeing as how he had no other children and she was the only one who could inherit the name. But with the new resposibility came new dangers. Within the first month, Yuli had been attacked by an unknown stranger on the street, saved only by her family's guards. After that, the attempts on her life got worse and worse. 'Random' pickpockets would have a thirst for blood, her tea would poison her, she would be stalked by some mystery fellows whenever she attempted to go to school. There had even been professional assassins who would get in pokemon and gun fights whenever she would go outside. Her mother was paranoid with worry, placing the blame on the wife but without any real proof her Uncle could do nothing even when he suspected her as well. And when they were just about to gather enough evidence, Yuli was stolen away from her bed.

When she'd awoke, the girl was in a Citrine labratory. There were words along the lines of 'you're the only hope left for your country' and 'if you do well, you can return to your family'. Yuli remembers very little from that time, most of her memories being of her writhing in pain on the floor while her body felt like it was going to melt her from the inside out. Scared out of her wits she did as the romans did, obeyed for fear of more of that burning pain. Alas the pain would come either which way seeing as how they were making her into a Chimaera. Her first time on the battlefield, the first time she shifted - it was excrutiating. She had nearly died from the very first time, the pain actually knocking her out only to be saved by a veteran Chimaera. After that she was forced to practice her shifting and in time the pain became like a secondary nature that she would always be ready for. Like muscle memory.

But she wasn't in the war for very long before it ended. She'd burned camps, scorched soldiers, dealt with enemy commanders... and yet her reward when she went home was suspicion and an accusation of murder. Her own mother didn't recognize her anymore, the woman so in grief over thinking that her child was dead demanded that the 'fake' be eliminated. Hunted by the very person who was supposed to know her instantly, Yuli escaped her Uncle's men with the help of a few growlithes who actually remembered her. That was the last time she attempted to step back into society. Rage, sadness, betrayal; Yuli hardly had any reason to keep living on. She was terrified of death and yet held no reason to live. She couldn't even hold a hint of revenge toward her family, leaving her to act like a beggar on the streets. There was plenty of time to think about what she was, what she had been... and then she heard word a revolution. A light sparked.
