With her comparatively deep voice, her tall, thin stature and her conservative neck-length haircut, you would be forgiven for thinking that Yasu were a young man, if a slightly effeminate one. Her imposing presence is tempered by the fact that she is quite genteel and soft-spoken. Her manners and sharp mind served her well in her education, during which she excelled in the area of languages, history and arithmetic, as well as the all-important field of military tactics. Well, important to her family, that is. While tactics come naturally to her, it is hardly as stimulating to Yasu as her relatives would like.
This defines Yasu's relationship with the rest of her house. She shows promise. Too much promise for her own good. She is both a product and a victim of the intense, militaristic, meritocratic society of the Dynasts. The collective weight of centuries of House Tepet's military might weigh greatly on Yasu's shoulders and, slowly but surely, her cool exterior is cracking under the pressure. She needs to get away from the cloying insistence of her family. When she informed them that she was leaving to wander the Threshold and see more of Creation than her home in the Realm, they really kicked up a storm, but she was gone before anyone could stop her. Her younger brother Katsuo has nominally taken her place, but House Tepet make no attempt to hide their dissatisfaction with the hedonist fop, who is more interested in drinking and whoring than furthering the family fortunes.
Yasu is the epitome of a team-player, who has relied on the help of her allies since her drill unit in the House of Bells. She is a competent fighter, but is far better from a distance than close up. Unlike a lot of her old school friends, she is not hotheaded or reckless in the least, preferring a cool, considered approach. Some would call Yasu cowardly at first glance. Her family certainly would, right about now.
