Yozakura Yumi (夜桜夕美)
This feminine name has a delicate and sweet sound, originating from the combination of the elements yu (優), which is "superiority", "kindness" or yu (裕), which means "abundance" with mi (美), which means “beauty”.
Her surname means night cherry blossom.
Your family symbol is a cherry blossom inside a crescent moon.
On the surface they are an influential family in the technological field, but below the surface is where the real Yozakura shows its roots.
The family has been known since the Edo era as a family of renowned assassins and ninjas, over the centuries the family has modernized but still continues with certain traditions, and now works as spies, preventing sects from dominating the world and many other types of crimes.
They are the most influential family in the Japanese underworld (or perhaps in the world) and are in first place in the best spy family category among other categories.
The family is currently in its 10th generation and consists of 7 members.

Yozakura Yumi (youngest)
The family's former matriarch was killed when the children were young and the father was presumed dead but is only missing.
Despite their “common” appearance, the Yozakura family is a family with abilities far above those of any ordinary human.
Rumor has it that the first leader of the family made a kind of deal with the devil, so that she and her children could protect themselves, the strange abilities have extended to the present day.
Each child is born with a unique and completely superhuman ability but in each generation a girl will be born without ability, this child without ability is the one who should be the next head of the family, as she is the one who will make the Yozakura lineage continue.
Yumi is the child without skills of this generation and the current head of the family, aged 17, the mission of the rest of the family is to protect the leader at any cost.
Yumi, even without supernatural abilities, is still a force to be reckoned with, knowing 5 types of martial arts, in addition to having great knowledge of poisons and the use of different types of weapons.
Unfortunately, because she was the next boss, she didn't have a normal life, and unfortunately she didn't have many friends, and she couldn't trust other people who weren't her brothers because murders and kidnappings are common.
Since her blood could be used to artificially create superhumans.
The few friends she had were also linked to espionage or were online friends, the last time she made friends who were not linked to this work was the first and last time, as they ended up dead and to this day Yumi blames herself for because of this, since her first friend and his brother ended up dying just because they approached her (when she arrived at Twisted Wonderland and saw two people identical to her friend and his younger brother she almost had a breakdown)
Because she didn't have many friends, she spent most of the time she wasn't resolving family matters, spending money on anime, manga games and lots of Disney merchandise.
She ended up having fun with these stories, as it was her way of escaping for a while from the duties and obligations she had to go through.
Despite being the head of a prestigious family, Yumi is still just a teenager, who just wanted to have a normal life, at least for a while, she loves her family but sometimes wonders what her life would be like if she had been born in a normal family.
She is a technological genius and can hack any system in minutes, as well as having great knowledge of weapons and martial arts.
Each member of the family has a unique ability that usually matches the user's personality. Yumi doesn't have the ability but she has something as powerful as Blooming.
Blooming (開花, Kaika) are special abilities produced from Someinine, a unique protein found in the blood of the Yozakura family, which strengthens and causes mutations in the user's body.
Overview
Flowering is seen as the complete awakening of a Yozakura. The Someinine in Yozakura Blood strengthens the body to its limits, becoming an asset to those who receive Yozakura Blood. The power of blood can only be shared by the Head of the Yozakura Family, and they can only do it once. This ability is caused by the Someinin in Yozakura's blood that stimulates the body's cells, which increases the user's abilities using their body as a base.
Appearance
When a bloom is activated, the user's eyes have cherry blossom shapes in the iris. The eyes also change color to glow a cherry blossom pink.
Blooming Hazakura also changes his eyes, but instead of having a cherry blossom shape to his irises, they have a six-pointed shape, showing how it is still not perfect. The color is currently unknown.
True Spring Blooming (開花春来, Kaika Shunrai) is an evolved form of the Yozakura Family's Blooming that can only be obtained by one who has completely mastered its unique ability.
Appearance
When activated, the user of True Spring Blooming still maintains the cherry blossom-shaped eyes present in their initial Blooming state.
However, their body also changes, turning them completely white[1] and emitting pale red flames, which transform into cherry blossom petals. [two]
They also develop small black crack-like marks on their neck and under their eyes in this state. [3] However, it is implied that the appearance of True Spring Blooming may actually differ from one user to another. [4]
Overview
True Spring Blooming is believed to be the complete form of Blooming, they achieved this perfect shape after many years of training and perfecting their skills
According to legends passed down through the family, full bloom is when “The cherry blossoms bloom with fiercest pride and call the sleeping spring to wake up.”
A little about your personality
Yumi is someone who is quite calm and doesn't usually get involved in conflicts, but when she does get involved, she means to end everything.
Because she was raised in a family that was not at all normal, she is not afraid of many things, and because of this it is difficult to make her afraid.
So many years of suffering assassination attempts made her have nerves of steel. So she doesn't usually show much emotion when she goes through a dangerous situation.
She's so silent that she can be by your side and you won't notice, she's already scared the first-year class a lot because of this, Marina once joked that they should put a dog-collar on her, like the ones they have on their cat collars so they know when she's nearby.
She is very shy and cannot talk to other people, especially strangers, so she prefers to talk via text, she is almost as bad as Idia at interacting with other people, but unlike him she is a little better in this matter.
But with people she is already used to, her personality transforms into a happy, agitated and a little sarcastic girl who ends up swearing a lot and making some morbid jokes, she talks a lot, especially about her hobbies, and is a small agent of chaos.
She likes to create her own devices, she ended up creating a kind of hologram communication device for the entire first year class, now they all have a new device, never seen before and other people are a little jealous.
The device is round and looks like a small makeup case with a mirror for Yumi and the twins, while for the boys it resembles a pocket watch, the devices were made to be placed on a special belt with other things that Yumi gave as a gift, each device was personalized to match the dorm uniform and the owner's personality.
Despite all the trouble she ends up getting into with her freshman class, she is happy to have friends, even if they aren't as normal as she wants them to be.
Despite being calm and calm, and a little shy, she becomes scarier than Riddle when angry.
Appearance
Yumi is 1.70 tall (5’ 7’’)
She has long, black hair that is always loose, and two buns on top of her head like Pucca, held together by two white bows. Her eyes are also black, but the color is a little more gray.
Her school uniform is a regular uniform, a black skirt, with black tights, a white long-sleeved blouse, a black and gold vest, and a striped bow tie.
She found the rest of her clothes in Ramshackle and remodeled them, as well as some clothes that the first-year class gave her.
She doesn't have a dorm uniform yet.
Some curiosities and other information
Current mayor of Ramshackle
She is ambidextrous, so she can do things with both her left and right hands.
Likes animals
She has a dog named Goliath who is the family's guard dog.
Tumblr media
Goliath is an old laboratory experiment who ended up being saved by his family, and since then he has been part of the Yozakura, no one knows how old he is, as he has been in the family for years.
30cm (Small Shape)
100cm (Medium Shape)
800cm (Large Shape)
She likes anime, manga and manhwa as well as otomes games
She really likes Disney and has a lot of knowledge about
Speaks at least 5 languages English, Japanese, Spanish, Russian and Latin
When she arrived at Twisted Wonderland and saw the statues of the Big 7, she immediately recognized them and explained some of the history to Grim, which surprised Ace.
When asked how she knew this information, she didn't answer directly she just said that they were also known in her dimension but that their stories were different from those that the Night Raven knew, and she refuses to talk about it, no matter how much they insist. for her to talk about.
Even though she doesn't have magic, she ended up being great at history and potions, in physical education she also ends up doing well, but most of the time during Professor Vergas' classes she finds a way to hide.
Likes the color blue and also pink
She has a pet snake that she calls Jade
The twins kind of adopted her, so they're always together.
After several events, the first year class was mistaken for a gang. Yumi is the leader, the twins are her assistants, Ace and Deuce are her right and left arms. Jack and Sebek are the security guards. Epel appears to be the secretary and Ortho is the group's hacker.
To make more money, she opened a fight club of sorts in Ramshackle's basement. Almost every dorm shows up whether to watch or fight, Leona usually shows up and stays in the VIP area watching everything. (And mainly because the majority of people who enter are Savannah students)
Speaking of Ramshackle, the dorm is completely chaotic and it's not because of the ghosts the dorm seems to be alive, besides the fact that the room and strange objects appear out of nowhere, there was a time when Yumi found her computer, she doesn't know how it got there there but doesn't complain.
She sometimes invades the school system to bribe the principal, he keeps crying because Yumi steals his money and he can't even say anything, the last time he tried to complain Yumi showed proof that Crowley was stealing money that the Al-Asim family donated to the school, and she said she would send it to the newspapers and ruin his reputation, he never complained again.
She uses the money she bribed from Crowley, and also from the fight club, to restore her dorm.
The first years are always having sleepovers, and at these parties they have already discovered a lot of secret rooms, and underground passages that connect Ramshackle to the rest of the school.
Among the rules, one of the main ones is that it is forbidden to murder any member of the family, to prevent her older brother from killing her boyfriend, she handed over the ring that she always wears, every Yozakura wears a ring with the family symbol, which is divided in two so that one is given to your partner and he is recognized as a Yozakura.
his romantic partner is Jamil viper
(note: when they managed to make a portal that connected the worlds so that Yumi could go from one world to the other whenever she wanted, Ren, the firstborn of the family, tried to keep Jamil, Yumi as punishment trapped him on the ceiling, forcing your brothers to watch while you continued taking care of your boyfriend).
(There may still be some changes to the character)

Japanese Emperor Akihito declared his abdication at a palace ceremony Tuesday in his last deal with, as the country embraced the finish of his reign with reminiscence and hope for a new period.
“Today, I am concluding my duties as the emperor,” Akihito mentioned as he stood in entrance of the throne, as other associates of the royal family members and top governing administration officials viewed.
“Since ascending the throne 30 a long time ago, I have carried out my responsibilities as the emperor with a deep feeling of belief in and regard for the people, and I contemplate myself most lucky to have been capable to do so. I sincerely thank the persons who recognized and supported me in my role as the symbol of the condition,” Akihito stated in his previous formal obligation as emperor.

As he walked out of the home following his speech and officers ended up taking away the imperial regalia in a box, Akihito turned all around, paused and bowed to the audience.
His reign ran by way of midnight, when his son Crown Prince Naruhito, who observed Akihito’s abdication ceremony, grew to become the new emperor and his period commenced.
Naruhito will formally ascend the Chrysanthemum Throne on Wednesday. In a independent ceremony he will obtain the imperial regalia of sword and jewel as perfectly as the imperial seals as evidence of his succession as the nation’s 126th emperor, according to official palace depend, which historians say could contain legendary figures until finally about the fifth century.
Naruhito’s wife Masako and daughter Aiko are barred from the ceremony for the reason that they are feminine members of the royal relatives, a palace custom that the govt upheld in spite of criticism that it is out of stage with contemporary values.
The emperor is described as a symbol of the condition and the people’s unity and has no political electricity below Japan’s submit-war constitution. His official duties are mostly managed by a extremely controlling Imperial Family Agency. But Akihito’s devotion in achieving out to the folks, primarily people suffering or fewer lucky, produced him much more popular than any politician.
Many people gathered outside the house the palace compound several hours just before Tuesday’s ceremony inspite of unseasonably moist and cold weather conditions, and even nevertheless they have been not allowed to seem inside of.
“We came simply because these days is the previous day of [the emperor’s era of] Heisei, and we experience nostalgic,” explained Akemi Yamauchi, 55, standing outside the house the palace with her husband.
“He has worked challenging for the men and women, he is pretty thoughtful, and sort to everyone,” explained her spouse, Kaname. The few came from Kyoto, Japan’s historic funds in which emperors lived right up until about 150 years in the past.
Messages have arrive from world-wide leaders.
South Korean President Moon Jae-in expressed gratitude in a letter to Akihito for his emphasis on peace and contributions to producing relations amongst Seoul and Tokyo. U.S. President Donald Trump expressed appreciation for his contribution to the two countries’ close relations. Trump had a courtesy conference with Akihito for the duration of his 2017 Japan stop by and will be the to start with foreign chief in May possibly to meet up with the new emperor.
Japanese tv chat reveals shown a countdown to the midnight changeover, and programming was dominated by the abdication and searching back at key events in Akihito’s era, including a significant 2011 tsunami, a lethal earthquake in Kobe in 1995, and the Tokyo subway nerve fuel attack in 1995 that shook Japan’s perception of safety and self esteem.
Stability was really restricted close to the palace and across downtown Tokyo, with countless numbers of law enforcement mobilized. Police arrested a male on Monday evening on suspicion of positioning a pair of kitchen knives final week on the faculty desk employed by Akihito’s grandson.
Nevertheless, Japan was in festive temper in excess of a alter in an imperial era not caused by dying. Several people today frequented shrines and temples to obtain stamps dated on the past working day of Akihito’s era of Heisei, or “achieving peace.” Some amusement parks and shops supplied totally free admission and particular deals, even though customers had their very last Heisei meals at dining places. Naruhito’s era of Reiwa, or “beautiful harmony” starts Wednesday.
“The emperor has finished his duties and he is passing the baton to the crown prince, so it’s time for celebration,” claimed Mitsuhiro Sugita, a 67-calendar year-aged inexperienced tea maker.
Akihito, 85, took the throne in 1989 and devoted his vocation to creating amends for a war fought in his father’s identify when bringing the aloof monarchy closer to the people.
With his commoner-born wife, Empress Michiko, he achieved out to the individuals, primarily those people who faced handicaps and discrimination, as perfectly as individuals hit by disasters, illuminating the hardships of people usually disregarded by society.
Akihito was the very first modern day emperor to marry a commoner, one of several variations he brought to the palace. The few also chose to elevate their a few children as a substitute of leaving them with palace personnel, and made a decision to be cremated on their deaths and interred in a scaled-down tomb aspect by facet, also a custom-breaking stage.
Jeff Kingston, Asian scientific studies director at Temple University’s Japan campus, states Akihito served as Japan’s “chief emissary of reconciliation,” though performing as “consoler-in-chief” in achieving out to the men and women. Akihito was also a “strong advocate of the susceptible and the marginalized in the Japanese society,” Kingston explained. “I consider the people today seriously warmed to him and felt that the monarchy was pertinent to their lives simply because of these initiatives by Akihito.”
The latest media surveys have revealed public aid for the imperial household at 80 %, the greatest at any time for the institution.
These regard did not arrive right away. Akihito grew up in the course of World War II and was 11 when his father Hirohito declared the stop of the war on radio. Akihito embraced his function as peacemaker and typically represented his father on reconciliatory missions as a younger crown prince, many years in advance of he turned the emperor himself.
He is the very first emperor in Japan’s modern-day history whose period did not have a war. Nevertheless he has averted outright apologies, he has stepped up his expressions of regret in carefully scripted statements on the war.
Akihito frequented China in 1992 and offered what was regarded as the strongest expression of regret above the war. He also frequented the Philippines and other Pacific islands conquered by Japan that had been devastated in fierce combating as the U.S.-led allies took them again.
That leaves his son Naruhito — the initially emperor born soon after Globe War II — mostly cost-free of the stress of the wartime legacy, permitting him to request his individual role. Naruhito has reported he would mainly emulate his father’s pacifist stance and compassion for the folks, but also claimed he hopes to request a function of his very own, perhaps in difficulties linked to h2o, which he researched at Oxford University in the early 1980s. That, or disaster resilience, or the environment, could attractiveness additional to a people predominantly from publish-war generations.
Akihito will be recognized as the emperor emeritus and will no lengthier have official obligations. He won’t even go to his son’s succession rituals so as not to interfere with the serving emperor.
Akihito is predicted to enjoy his retirement, heading to museums and concerts, or spending time on his goby research at a seaside imperial villa. Akihito and Michiko will transfer to a momentary royal residence ahead of inevitably switching sites with Naruhito.

New top story from Time: Japan Marks the End of an Era With the Abdication of Emperor Akihito
TOKYO (AP) — Japanese Emperor Akihito announced his abdication at a palace ceremony Tuesday in his final address, as the nation embraced the end of his reign with reminiscence and hope for a new era.
“Today, I am concluding my duties as the emperor,” Akihito said as he stood in front of the throne, as other members of the royal family and top government officials watched.
“Since ascending the throne 30 years ago, I have performed my duties as the emperor with a deep sense of trust in and respect for the people, and I consider myself most fortunate to have been able to do so. I sincerely thank the people who accepted and supported me in my role as the symbol of the state,” Akihito said in his last official duty as emperor.
His reign runs through midnight, when his son Crown Prince Naruhito becomes the new emperor and his era begins.
Naruhito will ascend the Chrysanthemum throne on Wednesday. In a separate ceremony he will receive the imperial regalia of sword and jewel as well as imperial seals as proof of his succession as the nation’s 126th emperor, according to the official palace count, which historians say could include mythical figures until around the 5th century.
Many people gathered outside the palace compound hours before the abdication ceremony despite unseasonably wet and cold weather, and even though they are not allowed to look inside.
“We came because today is the last day of (the emperor’s era of) Heisei, and we feel nostalgic,” said Akemi Yamauchi, 55, standing outside the palace with her husband.
“We like the current emperor. He has worked hard for the people, he is very thoughtful, and kind to everyone,” said her husband, Kaname. The couple came from Kyoto, Japan’s ancient capital where emperors lived until about 150 years ago.
Messages have come from global leaders.
South Korean President Moon Jae-in expressed gratitude in a letter to Akihito for his emphasis on peace and contributions to developing relations between Seoul and Tokyo. U.S. President Donald Trump expressed “appreciation” for his contribution to the two countries’ close relations. Trump had a courtesy meeting with Akihito during his 2017 Japan visit and will be the first foreign leader in May to meet the new emperor.
Japanese television talk shows displayed a countdown to the midnight transition, and programming was dominated by the abdication and looking back at major events in Akihito’s era, including the 2011 tsunami, a deadly earthquake in Kobe in 1995, and the Tokyo subway nerve gas attack in 1995 that shook Japan’s sense of safety and confidence.
Security was extremely tight around the palace and across downtown Tokyo with thousands of police mobilized. Police arrested a man on Monday night on suspicion of placing a pair of kitchen knives last week on the school desk used by Akihito’s grandson.
Akihito, 85, took the throne in 1989 and devoted his career to making amends for a war fought in his father’s name while bringing the aloof monarchy closer to the people.
With his commoner-born wife, Empress Michiko, he reached out to the people, especially those who faced handicaps and discrimination, as well as those hit by disasters, illuminating the hardships of people often overlooked by society. Akihito was the first emperor to marry a commoner, one of many changes he brought to the palace. The couple also chose to raise their three children instead of leaving them with palace staff, and decided to be cremated upon their deaths in a smaller tomb side by side, also a tradition-breaking step.
Jeff Kingston, Asian studies director at Temple University, Japan Campus, says Akihito has served Japan’s “chief emissary of reconciliation,” while acting as “consoler in chief” in reaching out to the people. Akihito was also a “strong advocate of the vulnerable and the marginalized in the Japanese society, he said. “I think the people really warmed to him and felt that the monarchy was relevant to their lives because of these efforts by Akihito.”
Recent media surveys have shown public support for the imperial family at 80%, the highest ever for the institution.
Such respect did not come overnight. Akihito grew up during World War II and was 11 when his father Hirohito announced the end of the war on radio. Akihito embraced his role as peacemaker and often represented his father on reconciliatory missions as young crown prince, decades before he became the emperor himself.
He is the first emperor in Japan’s modern history whose era did not have a war. Though he has avoided outright apologies, he has stepped up his expressions of regret in carefully scripted statements on the war.
Akihito visited China in 1992 and offered what was considered the strongest expression of regret over the war. He has also visited the Philippines and other Pacific islands conquered by Japan that were devastated in fierce fighting as the U.S.-led allies took them back.
That leaves his son Naruhito — the first emperor born after the World War II — largely free of the burden of wartime legacy, allowing him to seek his own role. Naruhito has said he would largely emulate his father’s pacifist stance and compassion for the people, but also said he hopes to seek a role of his own, possibly in issues related to water, which he studied Oxford University in the early 1980s. That, or disaster resilience, or environment, could appeal more to his people who are predominantly from postwar generations.
Akihito will be known as the emperor emeritus and will no longer have official duties after he abdicates. He won’t even attend his son’s succession rituals so as not to interfere with the serving emperor.
Akihito is expected to enjoy his retirement, going to museums and concerts, or spending time on his goby research at a seaside Imperial villa. Akihito and Michiko will move to a temporary royal residence before eventually switching places with Naruhito.
