SOCIAL:

Charisma 2 (average charisma)

Appearance 5/7 (by nature, even the most jaded sovereigns turn their heads when she enters the room. However when wearing her Stone of Inhuman Beauty, she can not be made to look anything but divinely gorgeous. If dressed in rags and covered in mud, she appears stylishly disheveled.

Intelligence 2 (average intelligence)
Wits 2 (passable at thinking on her feet)

Essence and Anima

Breeding: 6

This superb ancestry adds 6 motes to her Personal Essence pool and 11 motes to her Peripheral Essence pool. In addition, she reduces the cost of activating her anima banner by 3 and adds 3 to the roll to determine if her children Exalt. The physical signs of Legendary Breeding are patently obvious, conferring an additional die on most Social rolls with other Dragon-Blooded and mortals who respect or fear the majesty of those chosen by the Dragons. However, the distinctiveness of such breeding adds two to the difficulty of all attempts for Yuusuka to disguise herself as someone else.
