Name: Yumi Katin
Species: Human
Affiliation/Occupation: Private Investigator (In-training)
Physical Description: Reference
Yumi is an 18 year old girl standing at 5 feet, 5 inches and has a slightly lower weight than average. Her hair is colored dark gray with pale eyes and a somewhat pale complexion. Her attire usually consists of dark colored clothing unless it's hot out, which she usually wears white shirts for. (Or a tank top, if she can get by with it.)
Equipment: Though she doesn't usually keep it on her person, Yumi has a sword outfitted to pass strong electrical currents through the blade while the handle negates the currents to keep the wielder from being shocked while holding it.
Skills/Techniques:
Hyper Mode: N/A (She's human.)
Backstory: Yumi Katin grew up in the center of Abel City with a simple family consisting of her father, mother, and younger brother. Their lives were practically normal as she grew up, co-existing with the reploids and making it through the Bio-roid war. Her father worked in retail, earning the title of a district manager, and her mother worked at a hospital as a nurse. There were plenty of times when schedules collided and neither were there for their kids, but Yumi always took charge as the responsible one, following rules to the letter. It was an ordinary life, to say the least.
One evening, as her mom was coming home, she was mugged. Her beating was enough to hospitalize her, which caused Yumi's family to appeal to the local police. However, they weren't moving fast enough for their tastes, which lead them to start asking for someone from the Maverick Hunters to help, but a man heard of the situation first and talked to them. To their surprise, he was a Private Investigator. Yumi's father was unsure of whether to hire him, but with the man's promise to keep them up to date on all of his findings, he did so, and the man kept his word.
Each time the PI came in to report, all listened, but Yumi kept an even closer ear. She started asking how he found out and what methods he used, which the PI answered in kind and with great detail. After time passed, the PI was able to find the one who mugged Yumi's mother. A cyborg who seemed to have it rather rough in the city. As Yumi seemed to have made an impression on the PI, he told her that once she finished school, she could give him a call and if the position was open, he'd teach her everything he knew about crime, forensics, and 'bringing a criminal to justice.'
Needless to say, Yumi focused her studies around the field and immediately called the PI, Jericho Lavite, about the position. Fortunately, it was open, and she immediately started her life as a PI... in training, of course. Her parents still to this day are worried for her, but they promised they would not interfere with what she wanted to do with her life. Though the girl is still new, she holds a lot of promise, and Yumi plans to put it all to good use.
Personality: Yumi is a girl with a very broad curiosity. First meeting one can see a calm, mature, and professional young woman with a poise and mannerism that some would nearly swear was one of royalty. However, she can be very blunt in both statements and questions that can throw anyone off balance in a split second. If she wants to know something, she's not afraid to ask it, no matter how personal or embarrassing it might be for the person in question. But the way she is able to hold herself no matter the reaction makes one wonder if she has some sort of shut-off switch to make her seem serious most of the time she does this.
It doesn't mean she isn't the type of person to have the same thing happen to her. She laughs, pouts, cries, and gets embarrassed over things just like any other person. She just has an uncanny talent of hiding this stuff rather well when she wants. Though she does have a secret wish, but to this day isn't sure if it'll ever come true. Those who know it, though, always seem to find it funny, them telling others, "Trust me. It's more typical than you think."

Skills/Techniques:
+ Intelligence Gathering: Despite being in training, Yumi has a keen sense of reading inbetween lines and picking up on subjects of conversations despite the vagueness of their words. Granted, there are still moments when things slip by her, but you better be a good liar. Otherwise, she'll know when you're not being straight with her.
+Hard-read: "I just have a good poker face." Yumi has one of those faces and voices that makes it hard to read her. Even lie detectors have a time figuring out whether she's lying or not.
- Bad Fighter: Due to her lack of experience in a fight, unless the other person has no idea what their doing, Yumi isn't that good in a fight. She is near-always the most likely one to get hurt in a confrontation.
- Emotional: If a nerve is hit, Yumi's professionalism drops, making her easy to read and unable to pick up on hidden meanings thanks to her own emotions getting in the way of things. This usually happens when she loses control of her anger, is overly happy, gets sad/upset, or is just straight out embarrassed.
