☆ the PERSON ☆

[PERSONALITY]

Yuna is quiet, almost reserved. That isn't to say that she's snooty, or self absorbed, or even anti-social. She's very friendly and easy to like. She's also incredibly dreamy, and it's sometimes hard to jar her out of her own thoughts. More than once she's remained in her seat after the end of the day bell rings, just staring into space and biting the end of her pen.

[HISTORY]

Yuna Astley was born in Bevelle, Ontario. Hers is a sad story, and one you might think is only possible in movies and books on sale at the grocery store. Her parents -- could they be called parents -- were never married. Her mother was a flower child in the wrong century, and her father was her college professor. He had wooed her with words of love and his experiences at Woodstock, and she had become smitten. Then she had become pregnant, and he had bailed out. After many attempts on Yuna's mother's side, she finally got word back. From a lawyer, slapping her with a restraining order. Her pleas for support and love fell on deaf ears, and she became both depressed and determined. She envisioned herself having her baby all by herself, and marching straight to the Dean of the school with a paternity test. If he could ruin her life, then she could ruin his career. Not very 'peace and love', but desperate times call for desperate measures. And so the determined Sophomore (who couldn't quite decide on a major, but thought she liked art enough to make a career of it) went to work to attain her goal. She bought and read the books, attended the classes, and 'borrowed' her cousin's baby for an extended weekend. She was ready.

Then the incident happened.

One night, in her eigth month, Yuna's mother was out at the store on the corner across from her apartment building, buying her craving of the month -- TWinkees. When she was leaving the store, she ran into somebody. Somebody not so nice. Somebody who held her up at gunpoint right there under a streetlight. She was only too happy to oblige, fearing for the life of her child. It would have gone over quite smoothly if not for the clerk inside the store, who was watching the whole thing through the window. He called the police, naturally, and within literal seconds sirens were wailing down the street. The mugger panicked and used the butt of his pistol as a club, knocking his pregnant victim against the brick wall. The back of her head took the brunt of the massive blow, and the last words she whispered before falling unconcious were "I smell bread."

Upon being rushed to the hospital, the doctors found there was little they could do in her present condition. They couldn't perform the proper tests on her injured skull while the woman was pregnant, but if they didn't there would be little chance the woman would survive. The answer was almost too obvious; deliver the baby via cesarean section. A quick ultra sound showed that the baby was healthy, if a little small, and it was indeed a safe option. One emergency operation later, and little Yuna was brought into the world, shrieking like a banshee with a very powerful set of lungs. She was two weeks premature, it was discovered, and would have very likely been small at delivery anyway. Yuna's mother, still showing no signs of waking, was whisked to another part of the hospital, and the infant was taken to the nursery. Yuna's mother survived, but the doctors had little hope for her recovery. She suffered severe damage from the first blow to her head, and the impact against the brick wall certainly hadn't helped her situation. Even if she did come out of her coma, the chance that she would be anything more than a vegetable was slim.

Yuna was, by all means of the word, an orphan. Her only living relative was her mother's cousin and his family. They lived across Canada, in Spira. Upon hearing the news, Braska Astley, a priest in the Yevonite religion and a successful author, immediately made the trip to Spira. He was given custody of the infant immediately, and stayed in Bevelle while the baby grew strong enough for travel. When she was a month and a half old, Yuna -- who had been named such by Braska -- and her guardian made the trip back to Spira, British Columbia.

Flash forward six years. Yuna, who had told about her mother's accident the year before, is pulled out of Sunday School and told that her mother has woken up from her coma. Upon hearing that the woman had suffered considerable brain damage, and was mostly unresponsive, Yuna asked to meet her. The request was granted that summer, and the Astley family made the trip to Ontario together. Yuna was met in the hospital by the nurse who had helped deliver her, and was taken to her mother's room. Clinging tightly to the hand of the nurse, the child had stared at the woman who was strapped to a hospital bed, lifted enough so she could see out the window. Yuna, cheeks puffed out from holding her breath, stepped forward bravely and stared into the unblinking eyes of the pale, thin woman. Upon seeing her mother's face, Yuna had nodded once, and patted one twitching hand before returning to the nurse. She never brought up her mother again, aside from one comment made sleepily on the train ride home to Spira, where she'd said her mama must have been pretty once.

Flash forward ten years. Now a teenager, Yuna Astley has blossomed nicely. She's grown up wonderfully, under the watchful eye of her adoptive parents and the word of Yevon. Home schooled her entire life, she made the decision last summer to attend public school for the final years of her education. After taking a proficientcy exam, she was placed in eleventh grade, with the warning that she might have a little to catch up on. After struggling for the first month or so, she finally got into the swing of things at Spira Secondary School.
