Character NAME: Yuna
Canon & MEDIUM: Final Fantasy X; Video game.
Canon PULL-POINT: Three months post game.
Character AGE: 17
Character ABILITIES: In the world of Spira, everyone obtains abilities from the Sphere Grid, and her main pathway involves abilities of a magical and curative nature; that is, Yuna's designated position is that of a White Mage, with a high magic stat and healing/buffing/defensive magics. For a detailed list of the magic she has access to, look here.
Yuna is also unique in that she has an ability not obtained from the Sphere Grid; She is a summoner, a rare group of people able to Summon Aeons, 'physical representations of a fayth's dream'. Basically, Yuna is able to make some form of contract — a metaphysical link — between herself and these aeons, and use their power in combat. Here is a list of said Aeons Yuna has access to, but because the Fayth do not exist in Exsilium, she will be unable to summon.
Character HISTORY: ＂Ｉｆ ｗｅ ｓｈｏｕｌｄ ｇｅｔ ｓｅｐａｒａｔｅｄ， ｊｕｓｔ ｗｈｉｓｔｌｅ． Ｉ＇ｌｌ ｃｏｍｅ ｒｕｎｎｉｎｇ． Ｉ ｐｒｏｍｉｓｅ．＂
Character PERSONALITY:
Our first meeting with Yuna is a rather ethereal one. In a chamber full of worried faces, a sweaty, fatigued woman stumbles out of a room, nearly about to pass out - after Kimahri catches her, she rises to her feet, a cheerful grin stating "I did it. I've become a summoner." In this scene, there is a feeling of magic and calmness emanating from Yuna - and this feeling doesn't wear off for a while.
Yuna is magic, in a way. She's a summoner, which is a special ability only a few hold. This ability has shaped Yuna's life, defining who she was as a child and young adult. Born the daughter of the former High Summoner, Braska, Yuna lived her life in his shadow, with spectators constantly anticipating to see if she could live up to everyone's expectations.
However, she does not resent her father for this. Instead, she'd made it her life goal to surpass him - to become high summoner, like he did. Yuna is an extremely dutiful and piteous person, loyal and dedicated to the teachings of Yevon, which she has been taught is 'right' from childhood. Yuna is impartial, nonjudgmental, and kind-hearted; always looking out for her friends and people around her, above herself. This can be seen when she's quick to defend her Guardians when Dona insults the sheer number of them frequently. The meek, soft spoken Yuna quickly stands her ground, saying it is 'more of an honor to be [with them] than to be [her] father's daughter.' It can also be seen early on, when surrounded by the Kilika Beasts. She proudly proclaims that Tidus played for the Zanarkand Abes, something she firmly believes in, even though it makes her look odd. From this, you can see a major theme to Yuna's character; trust. Her blind faith in Yevon, her devoutness to saving the people of Spira, and her fealty to her friends. When these things pull here in different directions is where her real inner conflicts stem.
As a person, Yuna is very demure and polite. A huge doormat, she lets people walk over her and tell her what to do in many different ways. She allows others to tell her how her life is to be lived, in what way, and how she is to do it. She lives her life according to the teachings of Yu Yevon, obeys Lulu and Wakka when they forbid her from doing something. Yuna's life is not her own; she's given it to others, to use as a tool, a bringer of peace. This is something she is content with. However, she is steadfast in her beliefs and quick to defend them when they are challenged, something that seems almost uncharacteristic of the modest girl we often see.
Yuna is also very charismatic, despite her modest nature. Children are drawn to her natural kindness. People naturally flock to her, and she is able to shine in the spotlight; a true celebrity. This is because Yuna truly loves people. She is moved by their stories, and humbled by their admiration. She draws strength from people and their energy, hopes, and tragedies.
Yuna has a strong case of wanderlust. Though she's lived in Spira her whole life, most of it has been spent on Besaid Island, so when she is exposed to the outside world, she can be a bit impulsive and curious, always wanting to explore and experience new things, almost like a tourist. This can get her in to a good deal of trouble, such as when she goes searching for Auron and ends up kidnapped by the Al Bhed Psyches.
While Yuna may seem like a saint, she does have flaws. Namely, her biggest one is her naivety. She's lived most of her life confined to Besaid Island, full of piteous seniors, Lulu and Wakka, who have basically raised her since she was 7, and friendly islanders. Yuna may have lived in Spira all her life, unlike Tidus, but as she travels, her pilgrimage is one of discovery and great let downs as well. Because of this, she can have an idealized view on things, and puts her faith in nearly everyone she meets. Yuna is trusting. After only knowing Tidus for a day or two, she desperately wants him to become her guardian. However, there is a downside to this; Yuna places blind faith in people, things, ideals.. Yuna trusts Lulu and Wakka to take care of her, all of her guardians to protect her, Yevon to guide her, her Aeons to aid her in the battle against Sin.. but not all of these things are on her side. And when something or someone does let her down, it crushes Yuna's spirit.
However, how can you damn Yuna for this? Yuna is pure in various respects at the game's start. Innocent and untainted, she is not sure how to react when much more bitter, arrogant summoners, such as Dona, arise. Yuna has a lofty goal, one of self-sacrifice, and she is ready to give her life up for others. Shouldn't the other summoners hold these intentions, too?
Yuna is not stupid, though. Intuitive, clever, and with a strong sense of ingenuity, Yuna is able to deduce things and figure them out with a little digging. She might not be the strongest fighter, but she's great at reconnaissance. This can be seen in the respect to Seymour Guado, a fellow summoner who is loved by all of Spira. Yuna is able to see past his charming words and helpful disposition, able to see the disillusioned, vile person he truly is, and to prove it with the sphere she found of Jyscal's detailing how it was him who assassinated him. In a way, this makes Yuna a very impressionable person, someone who judges things by what she sees and senses from them first.
Despite being a summoner, Yuna is rather helpless. Summoners take on 'guardians', people who accompany them on their pilgrimage to protect them. As such, Yuna is rather dependent on her friends, those who she's entrusted to protect her with her life. Yuna does not want to be a burden. She is constantly frightened she is relying too much on others, and desires to be independent. Because of this, she will bottle up her own feelings on things, not express how deeply saddened and depressed things will make her, which is difficult for her. Yuna is a very emotional person. Wakka and Lulu know this, and know exactly what it is that's bugging her at all times. She wants to be able to take things into her own hands, to not have to rely on anyone else. At the beginning of the game, though, this just means she'll have to smile and pretend everything is okay, that she's not torn witnessing the deaths of many Spirans, by the fact that if she succeeds, she will die.. She has to be Spira's light, as that is the job of a summoner.
Yuna is brave. Despite the many warnings from Lulu and Wakka as a child, the variety of setbacks from her pilgrimage, and even being branded a traitor by Yevon, Yuna's number one priority is to always continue with her pilgrimage — even though she is aware death is what awaits her at the end. She is also a master at the power of positive thinking; she shows this after her and Seymour's 'marriage', when she jumps from the tower, and, with a stroke of luck and good timing, manages to summon an aeon to catch her fall. She says it will all be okay "if you just believe". As she cites near the end of the game, she 'knows nothing outside of the teachings of Yevon', so everything she does from that point on is a huge leap of faith, a risk that she is willing to take if it means Sin will be quelled from Spira forever.
Tidus, the strange visitor from Zanarkand, always manages to cheer her up. In the beginning, she takes a childlike fascination about his stories, putting full faith in him actually being from Zanarkand. Later, they learn to rely on each other. They are always able to cheer the other one up, and Tidus always know what to say around Yuna to make her laugh or smile. Rikku, too, takes on this role. Her cousin is her confidant, the one she's sure she can tell anything to and not expect to have it leaked. Wakka and Lulu act as substitute parents, there to guide her and give her advice when it's needed. She admires Auron for his work as a guardian with her father, and is able to put full trust in him and his honesty. Kimahri has been with her since she was young, and though he does not say much, she's positive he always has her best interest in mind. They share a silent bond. In these ways, Yuna is kept going by her relationships; without these key people in her lives, she wouldn't be able to continue with her pilgrimage.. physically, mentally, or emotionally.
Immediately, the weight of betraying Yevon by killing Seymour, no matter how justified it was, weighs on Yuna. 'Traitor', he calls her, as she falls to her knees. Though she is aware of what is right and wrong, going against the code she followed so closely her whole life is difficult and 'taboo' to her, as opposed to Tidus and Auron, who realized the necessity and don't freak out like she and Wakka did. Even still, Yuna continued on her Pilgrimage, despite being followed and assaulted by Yevon's various troops and maesters. She realizes soon that she put faith in Yevon because she believed it was the true way, and, as she continues on her pilgrimage, more of Yevon's lies are unraveled, such as Maester Mika being an unsent and the true nature of the final summon. Still, the betrayal of the doctrines and people she looked up to for so long weigh on her for the duration of the game, and when she is spoken to in the airship before the final battle, she regretfully waxes "All those teachings.. were they for nothing?"
Somehow, with the reassurance of her Tidus and the other Guardians, Yuna overcomes her anathema for straying from Yevon's teachings, even going so far as to dispose of Yunalesca, the one who imposes the truth of the final summon. She proves she is capable of taking things into her own hands, and, through that, is able to vanquish sin for good, something no other summoner has ever tried to accomplish, merely because they were not as revolutionary as Yuna. They did not take the time to unravel all of Yevon's secrets, to learn of the lies, to seek other ways, something Yuna learned from Tidus and the Al Bhed.
Tidus's departure weighs heavily on Yuna. She'd learned to rely on him, to confide in him — she loved him. So the fact that he ceased existing is enough to send her into a deep depression, an unrecoverable one. However, if her smiling in the ending is any indication, she realizes it is for the best, and appreciates the sacrifice Tidus gave for her and the entirety of Spira. If it wasn't for her, she would be dead, and Sin's cycle would begin anew. She had to smile for him — one last time.
» EXSILIUM INFORMATION
Chosen WEAPON: Yuna will be arriving with her celestial weapon, Nirvana. However, because of the evolving weapons, it will be stripped of all of it's abilities and be like it is when you first get it before applying the Moon Sigil/Crest. It will regain these skills back over time, and allow her to cast more powerful magic.
Chosen SKILLSET: While Yuna is a white mage, and therefore unable to do much damage physically, she very much likes to get involved and wouldn't want to sit idly while other people do it. So I would consider her a support character, but one who will actively be participating!
» SAMPLES
First PERSON: [ a confused, distressed looking girl appears on the feed, blinking quizzically at the device she's holding. When she's sure the camera is on, she frowns a bit. Her mouth opens — but nothing comes out. She'd rehearsed it in her head, even down to the inflections she would take — but nothing came out. There is an awkward silence. ]
I — I don't understand. [ that's all she manages to say for a few moments. Be assertive, she reassures herself. Her face hardens. ] If you can hear me, take me back to where I came from. Please. I have — [ Important things to do. But did she really? Despite being the High Summoner, Yuna's life the last few months had reached a point of stagnancy. People surrounded her, lauding what she'd done, but she couldn't deny the hollow idleness she'd been living in. Maybe having a new cause to fight for would be good.
But that's selfish to think, isn't it? Spira still needed her. She was a beacon of light — the face of the Eternal Calm. A 'celebrity'. ] I can't help you. I'm sorry. [ she averts her eyes from the camera. ] I understand what it's like. But I can't. So please, let me return.
Thank you for your time.. [ Yuna bows, then fumbles with the device for a few moments before clicking it off. ]
Third PERSON: Another day, another beginning. That's what Yuna had begun to tell herself every morning. A brand new day, a sinless day, a day of eternal calm. It was something to be thankful for. Yet she was so restless, so eager to stretch her limbs beyond the island of Besaid once more. Sighing, she began her morning ritual: brewing tea, cleaning up the house a bit, having a silent, reflective prayer. This had been her life for the past three months, since her pilgrimage. Was it wrong to say she was displeased, with how stagnant her life had become?
She sits for a moment, pouting and gently sipping her tea. "Is this.. what my life is to be, from now on?" Blissful, yes, but empty. Without purpose or direction. Lulu and Wakka were exploring their budding relationship, Kimahri had reunited with what remained of his people, and Rikku returned to the Al Bhed, hoping to forge a new home. That only left Yuna. If Rikku were to send her a letter, asking her how she had been, what would she even say? "Mm.. I can't think of a thing.." Not a single interesting topic to cover.
She makes her way to the sink, mulling this over as she begins to mechanically wash her glass. "The Eternal Calm really lives up to its name." She chuckles a bit, staring off into the distance, reminiscing. "I can just imagine what he'd say. 'High Summoner Yuna, busily washing dishes.' He would die if he knew." She finds herself smiling. She took solace in memories of him, effectively subtracting some of the more perfunctory elements of her life. When she thought about him, it was like he was right there next to her, laughing along with her, his hand on her shoulder. A daydream.
Of course, he wasn't there. He was gone. This was something she had grown to realize.
For now, her life would have to be methodical. She may be the High Summoner, but Spira didn't have to do a little tap dance to keep her entertained.
