About the Forum
Yuri Khyrsal Yuri is the sister of one of my friend's characters. I was the one who suggested the idea that she might not have been killed as a child, and thankfully he liked it. She's one of my favorites now. And like Celia, that's not what she normally dresses like.

- Background:
Yuri was born 3 years after her elder brother Rys. While Rys was her father's pride, she was his joy. Her early life was a happy and carefree one, until one fateful night when she and her family were walking home from a party, when they were suddenly attacked by an unknown assassin. Her mother fell first, then her father, leaving only an eight-year-old Rys to defend her. Yuri was grievously wounded, and was left for dead by the healers from the church, but a passerby discovered that she still barely held on to life and took her away, nursing her back to health. She was taken to an orphanage in a distant town and named 'Lexine' since most of her memories of her old life, including her name and Rys, had been lost. The orphanage was in an impoverished part of the city, and she quickly got used to being harassed by the local gangs. Yuri took it upon herself to grow strong and protect her newfound family, and her many scars attested to her impressive combat skills. As she grew older, the gangs grew weaker, until at last they were arrested. By now she was something of a 'guardian angel' to the young children at the orphanage. She began to travel soon afterwards, fighting in tournaments and sending the prize money back to the orphanage. She began to hear stories of a powerful fighter named Rys, and decided to seek him out and challenge him to a fight. Little did she know what would happen next. A mysterious man attacked her, claiming that she was a 'Dracomagne' and that her kind must be exterminated. She fended him off every time, until one night a strange lion-man appeared to assist her. He introduced himself as Rys. Something about him seemed familiar to Yuri, but she could never place it. Later, when examining Rys' sword, her memories suddenly returned, triggered by the blade's magical powers. She regained consciousness in her brother's arms, finally remembering her old life, and him.Like Rys, when she perceives that she's being bossed around she will refuse to listen. She has an explosive temper at times, though most of the time when she gets angry she isn't serious about it. Likes to fight, but only if it's for fun. She's unusually introspective for someone with her personality. She has a rather low opinion of her body image, and at times will overcompensate and show off when she feels insecure or lacking confidence in herself and her abilities. She loves kids, which is good, because kids love her.
Yuri and Zeis: In case you didn't know, Zeis is her fiancee. They're deeply in love with each other, and it seems that they have each found their perfect match in each other. Yuri's often ferocious temper is calmed by his rational attitude, while his almost-instinctive shyness is lessened by her energetic and playful personality. They've considered having children, but due to the somewhat short length of their relationship, have decided against it for now.
Yuri and Rys: Perhaps as a result of their years of separation, they love to spend time together. Something of a playful 'sibling rivalry' exists between them, and which most often results in a bout of friendly wrestling in their lion forms or a bit of namecalling. (Yuri's infamous for her snoring, though she has no idea about it.) For a short time, Yuri resented the life he'd led away from her, believing that he'd always been happy and more priviledged. When the two are fighting (not each other) she tends to fly off the handle and ignore his instructions, despite the fear they both share that they will be separated again.
Yuri and Celia: Yuri and Celia get along very well, and enjoy general gossip, shopping, and other girl-stuff (though they're both very far from bimbos ^_~).
