Stats-
Endurance: ****
Strength:****
Speed: ***
Defense:**
Technique: **

Style: Improvised/Street fighting

Strategy:
-Yukiko has had no real training and fights based off her instincts and past experiences.  Her style is aggressive and fairly straightforward, relying almost entirely on striking moves and trying to overwhelm her opponent.  She likes to stick close to her foes and really get in their face, so she can maintain pressure and stay on the offensive.  Because of her temper, however, she sometimes will get sloppy or very 'catty' when sufficiently provoked.

Preferred Attacks:
-punching, kicking, elbows, knee strikes

Preferred Matches:
-Costume/cosplay fights, or generally anything non-hentai

Personality:
-Yukiko generally appears plain and acts normal, deep down she is a bit of an adrenaline junkie who loves to fight for the thrill.  Though her name implies a sense of coolness ('Yuki' = Snow), she actually has an extremely explosive temper, and can get really aggressive and confrontational from just small provocations.  Despite that, she is still a fairly nice girl and doesn't really hold grudges after fights unless she feels it is really deserving.    She does enjoy dressing up, especially in cosplay costumes, often asking her friend Akiko for ideas.

Past/History:
-Raised by her single mother, and orphaned in her early teens, Yukiko lived a tough childhood, working hard just to scrape by.  Living in a pretty rough neighborhood, she had to quickly develop some fighting skills and survival instincts in order to stay safe.  By chance, she ended up recruited for a local all-girl gang, joining mostly out of convenience and for the comraderie.  Participating in numerous brawls, her natural ability and reckless nature often made her a force to be reckoned with on the battlefield, quickly making her a well-respected gang member.

Eventually able to finish high school, like many of her fellow gang members before her, Yukiko was at the age where she felt like she needed to move on.  However, also like many of her fellow gang members, she lacked many practical work skills, and so she continued to struggle to get by.  Hopping around between temporary odd jobs, one day out of the blue she received an e-mail from Akiko Takamiya, another ex-gang member who she had been particularly close with back in the day (and had a huge crush on).  Being told of the AFW, and being invited to join along with Akiko, it was like a dream come true to the suffering girl.  Quickly signing up and being admitted as well, she reunited with her old fighting partner Akiko, eager to see what kind of fights awaited her at the AFW.


Misc. Facts:
