History: Yuna's origins, in keeping with her life in general, are humble ones. Unlike some members of the AFW roster, she didn't have a long wrestling career, and she wasn't even that much of a fan growing up, either. She came from a lower-middle-income working-class family, and her biggest aspiration in her youth was to get an office job in the hopes of building a better financial structure to support a family with. Luckily for her, she graduated school, got a job, married, had children, and settled down, minding her own business.

The biggest shakeup in Yuna's life up to that point came ten years into her marriage, when she found that her husband had been having an affair with his younger secretary. Outraged by such a betrayal of the trust she had placed in the man she'd spent so much of her life with, she filed for divorce, taking her three children with her. She was left faced with rebuilding a normal life - and, sadly, she found it much more difficult to do so. The loss of her husband had taken a toll on her well-being, and she began to fall into depression, which in turn had a negative impact on her work performance. Soon enough she was laid off, and faced with the strain of being a single mother in addition to taking a new job, she had to look around to get the money to support herself. Taking a few odd jobs wherever she could find, she tried her best to keep her family afloat, but even then it was growing hard to make ends meet.

In desperation, Yuna began to look at...other jobs, of a less tasteful nature, but she balked at the thought of herself doing something like that, and feared how she would explain that to her kids. One offer, however, caught her eye. Apparently, a video producer was looking for women to film an apartment wrestling video with, and would be providing some rudimentary training to those without experience in the field. It was an offer she never would have considered before, but she figured it was worth a try, and certainly better than the alternative. As it so happened, even though the producer had been expecting younger, cuter girls to apply, the thought of a more mature woman in one of his videos would be an interesting change of pace, and not only did he sign Yuna on to the job, he offered a longer-term contract for her to film more matches. Money talked, and she saw no reason not to agree to the terms.

In turn, Yuna found, wrestling spoke to her. While originally intimidated by the thought of stripping down to her underwear and wrestling a younger girl around an apartment rented for the shoot, she felt a rush like she had rarely felt before, and she was eager to learn more. She felt her spirits lifting the more she wrestled, and it helped boost her own confidence and her comfort with her body too, to know that she could still be sexy and appealing as a single mom. While her career was going on, Yuna started going to the gym as well and getting training in professional wrestling, wanting to keep that spirit alive. It showed, as her videos grew even more popular with the new expertise she displayed. In turn, it was even enough to catch the attention of AFW, who offered to sign Yuna to a full-time contract. Faced with the prospect of making more money than she ever had before, and wanting a better future for her family, Yuna agreed, quitting her day job to do what she loved and to support herself and her children in the process.

Personality: Outside the ring, Yuna is a calm and good-natured woman, a bit old-fashioned in her ways, but a strong believer in tradition and family values. This isn't to say she's a pushover, of course - far from it. She believes it's important for her to stand up for herself and her family, and she strives to prove that she still has what it takes to keep them safe and secure, as well as to make a name for herself. She can be very protective of her family, and will do anything she can for their sake. She also can bear a grudge, and if she needs to get serious, she won't hold back.

Thanks to her career, Yuna has also developed a more assertive and flirtatious side, which she's been happy to play up in the ring, as she knows it helps with her appeal. She enjoys teasing her opponents and playing to the crowd, and she owns her sexuality; she knows she's still got it for a woman of her age, and she isn't afraid to flaunt that. That being said, she isn't "that kind of girl," and she doesn't take kindly to the implication that she is - she won't hesitate to put anyone in their place if they make a step too far.


Fighting Style: Yuna isn't exactly a twig, and she doesn't have the agility she might have had in her younger years, so she isn't the type to make swift strikes or high-flying moves, and she doesn't try to. Instead, she focuses on using her size to her advantage, wrestling with a slower and more methodical, but still effective, style to cover for her weaknesses and overpower her opponents through sheer force. She also tries to conserve her energy this way to draw on endurance, allowing her to shrug off harder blows. As such, her wrestling has elements of sumo, but she does still make use of the standard slams and rudimentary holds. She was also on her school's keijo team in her youth, and she hasn't forgotten the lessons she's learned there. One area she really does well in, however, is smothers. Her size in general, and the size of her "assets," makes it an easy task for her to choke off her foes, and she enjoys the attention it gets her as well.

Favored Match Types: Yuna's still making headway into the world of professional wrestling, but she's open to trying new things and doesn't mind experimenting. She's even branched out into hentai wrestling, chasing after the thrill of knowing she can still establish herself as a sexual powerhouse. Aside from that, she also made her name in apartment wrestling, and feels perfectly at home there still, so she is still content to carry it into her AFW career.
