Backstory
Yukari Takeba was born into a happy family, with a loving woman for a mother, and a brilliant scientist for a father. This continued, with Yukari living a regular life for a well off Japanese girl until the age of 7, when her father was killed in an accident on a research expedition. There was much left unclear and controversial about the incident, but as Yukari's father led the expedition, he was made the one to shoulder the blame in death. This tore Yukari's life apart. In addition to losing her father, Yukari's mother spiraled after her husband's death. Futilely attempting to fill the hole in her heart by entering relationships with numerous men in an attempt to cope. Which in addition to enraging Yukari, who saw this as her mother attempting to replace the father whom Yukari loved with all her heart, her mother also gave significantly less time and attention to Yukari as a result. Leaving the young girl essentially alone. Wanting nothing more to do with a mother that Yukari viewed as having fallen into disgrace and toxicity, Yukari moved out into school dorms while still in middle school.
Yukari would grow more guarded over the years, developing a sharp tongue and very few close friends. Though she maintained her girly attitude, such as her love for pink, fashion, cooking, and cutesy things. She was also captain of her school's archery club, and did some acting as a hobby. But Yukari's guardedness did not mesh well with the sheer amount of attention she got from her classmates as her smarts, talents, and physical beauty made her one of if not the most popular person in her school. The attention from boys who wanted her romantically especially angered her, as she associated it with the shallow relationships her mother had. Continuing to live in dorms throughout high school, Yukari would meet her first love on the first day of her second year of high school. She had sworn off relationships, intending to spend her life single. But when Yukari felt what she had felt from her mom and dad when her dad was still alive, she took the risk and opened up to him. Yukari got to be happy with him for a few months, until in a cruel twist of fate mirroring her mother, Yukari's boyfriend suddenly collapsed and died on the last day of the school year. Now faced with the same hole in her heart her mother had felt all those years ago, Yukari began to understand both the pain she felt, and the actions that she took in an attempt to cope. Things could never go back to how they were when everything was perfect, but time and understanding has brought Yukari much closer to her mother once more.
Yukari idolized her father while he was alive, and that rose to devotion after his death. She strove to live up to his legacy. However, while Yukari was very smart, being a high ranking student at a prestigious high school, she wasn't the genius that her father was. So Yukari was unable to truly follow in his footsteps. Recognizing this, Yukari decided that she would honor her father by becoming as great at whatever her life's calling ended up being as her father was at science. Upon graduating high school Yukari took up work as a model. She didn't intend for it to be her career, but she needed to pay for college, liked fashion, and knew full well why she got so much attention from guys. The thing was, Yukari swiftly turned into a massive hit. And when her manager found out about Yukari's backgrounds in archery and acting, he set her up for a role as the bow wielding lead in a children's superhero show called Featherman. However, Yukari hadn't been informed of this until she had already been signed up for the audition. The only reason the manager kept his job was that his read was spot on, and it went amazingly.
Yukari had found it; an action heroine was her calling. Featherman is the career defining role that she still holds to this day. But it expanded to movies, top of the line TV series, any action production that had a spot for a powerful heroine had Yukari on their list. The closest thing Yukari ever faced to controversy were debates of whether or not she did her own stunts and fight scenes as she claimed. Yukari did, but there were always doubters looking to slander a celebrity. Her manager, this time consulting Yukari, suggested taking a page from the book of Johnny Cage of Mortal Kombat fame, and entering undeniably real fights to prove her ability. Yukari took interest in the idea because one of her closest friends from her time in high school, Fuuka Yamagishi, had joined a fighting organization called LAW as something resembling a hobby. Seeing an opportunity to reunite with her friend along with proving her legitimacy as a fighter, Yukari signed on with LAW.

Wrestler Bio
In the ring, Yukari fights fair and flashy. Demonstrating impressive athleticism through acrobatic feats which alone could prove that she does her own stunts. However, while Yukari is very agile, she doesn't possess a lot of raw speed to use her agility with. Much like her various characters on screen, Yukari has a wealth of willpower, and a never say die attitude, but unfortunately, she lacks the ability to take hits needed to support her willpower. Which could lead Yukari to try to keep fighting until she physically cannot any longer, as opposed to simply surrendering once it's clear she can no longer win. The aspect of fighting that Yukari does have fully put together however, is offense. She has the strength to hit hard, and fully knows how to use that strength. Yukari likes to finish matches with submissions if she can, so she can use her archery themed moves to win matches, but as a whole, her offense is pretty well balanced.
