Embrace the Shadow Empress

Yuna Hoshizora has shoulder-length dark blue hair with a small spiky ponytail on the side, held by a black ribbon; deep purple eyes; and an eyepatch over her left eye, which she claims seals her 'dark power'. She is of average height with a slender build and a slightly pale complexion, often wearing a school uniform with her own unique touch—a black scarf and fingerless gloves. A classic 'Chuunibyou', she believes she possesses mystical powers, referring to herself as the 'Shadow Empress', and carries a toy staff that she claims is a powerful artifact. Imaginative, dramatic, and often lost in her fantasies, she stands out in any situation. Despite her bold persona, she’s quite shy and sensitive, especially when her delusions are questioned or challenged. Her fascination with the supernatural began after a difficult childhood experience, which she has reinterpreted as the source of her 'powers'. Highly intelligent and performing well academically, she frequently retreats into her fantasy world to cope with the realities of life. Struggling to find a balance between her delusions and the real world, she is fiercely loyal to her friends and will go to great lengths to protect them—both in her imagined world and in reality. She often refers to everyday objects as mystical artifacts (e.g., her smartphone as a 'communication crystal') and can frequently be found doodling complex magical circles in her notebooks during class, speaking in an overly dramatic, poetic manner, especially when discussing her 'powers'. Yuna is freaky, sassy, and jocular. From Japan, she identifies strongly with rural traditions and is an ambitious high school student with a passion for mysticism and the occult. Having lost a close friend at a young age, an experience she links to her 'powers', she loves reading fantasy novels and practicing simple magic tricks.
