===Character Creation Questions===
'''What sort of person is your character?'''
* Egotistical, petty and ruthless
'''What does she want?'''
* For the proper order of things to be maintained
'''Does she have anything worth living for?'''  
* Formerly, this was advancing her rising star in both her house and the Realm.  Now, all that is secondary to curing the horrible spiritual disfigurement suffered by her dear and only childhood friend.
'''Where was she born, and into what circumstances?'''
* Born on the Blessed Isle, Yuusuka is the product of the Empress's selective breeding program.  Raised in a very strict and rigid environment, she has never known poverty or true hardship.
'''How has power changed her?'''
* Yuusuka has always "known" she would Exalt, though not by any prescience on her part, but rather an inability to face the possibility that she might fail to live up to the high expectations placed upon her by House Cathak.  As such, power hasn't changed her since these same expectations have engendered a high sense of entitlement from a very young age.
'''What kind of education did she receive, if any?'''
* Yuusuka attended the Harmonious Spire Transcendent where she met [[Ashadar Shan|Shan]] during their primary school years.  Her frequent delinquent behavior there almost landed her in the Palace of Tamed Storms.  However, her parents intervened using their influence to insure that she was accepted into the House of Bells while privately admonishing Yuusuka with severe, uncompromising discipline.  She maintained contact with her only real friend, [[Ashadar Shan|Shan]] through the first half of her time at the House.  At time went on though, [[Ashadar Shan|Shan's]] failure to Exalt in a proper fashion led to a widening distance in their friendship due to differing curriculums and mixed feelings on Yuusuka's part.
'''How old is she?'''
* Never ask a lady her age
'''What was her family life like?'''
* Yuusuka has a distant, reverential relationship towards her parents.  She was mostly raised by hand picked tutors and maids.
'''Where are you from?'''
* Up until relatively recently, Yuusuka has spent all her life on the Blessed Isle.
'''What does she think about mortals, now that she is no longer one of them?'''
* Yuusuka never considered herself a mere mortal by virtue of having been born into a higher caste (her grasp of metaphysics and theology is a tad... warped).  By station, mortals are to be led, managed and protected the way one would cattle.  In return, mortals support their betters the way furniture saves you the indignity of lying in the dirt.
'''Who or what does she worship, if anything?'''
* Yuusuka follows the precepts of the Immaculate Order uncritically.  She's not particularly religious but has no complaint with a religion that elevates Dragon-Bloods as higher order beings.  Her current consorting with Anathema is not a contradiction in her mind as she self-rationalizes that since she thinks she can cure [[Ashadar Shan|Shan]] then she's not consorting with "[[Ashadar Shan|Shan's]] demon" at all, but rather choosing to conquer the demon on a spiritual level rather than the more traditional physical level that the Wyld Hunt prefers.
'''What does she believe in? (Not the same as the prior question) What principles does she hold to?
* Everyone should do their duty, from the highest queen defending the Realm to the lowest peasant supplying the Realm.  Everyone should know their place, from the gods in their celestial hierarchy to the demons in their bound subservience.  Failure is corrected with fire.
'''What is she willing to fight for?'''
* Those entrusted to her care, as is her duty.
'''What is she willing to kill for?
* Defiance of her whims, as is her right.
'''What is she willing to die for?
* Her pride.  "If I cannot fulfill my duty, I am worthless."
