Character: Yoon
Age: 16 i think
Canon: Akatsuki no Yona
Canon Point: End of Chapter 37

Background: Wiki (need to write the drug arc)

Personality:
On a basic level, Yoon is a mother hen. He cooks, he cleans, he sews and mends all his fellow travelers's injuries, but beyond that, he's the voice of reason. When a stupid idea crops up, he's the one to shoot it down and offer up something new. Something logical. While he's not the leader of the bunch, he's definitely the right-hand man-a position he grew into rather than took immediately.

Upon first meeting, Yoon is not a very social boy. He's rude and prickly, dismissive of others and their obligations. Very much a street brat, he lives through slyness and uses fairly underhanded practices. Despite his weakenesses, he has confidence to spare, sometimes bordering on conceit (he labels himself "genius pretty boy" way too much). Starting out as a pretty selfish boy, his world slowly broadens as he's given more people to care about.

The first person to get close to him was Ik-Soo, a guardian only by definition. In truth, Yoon was his guardian, tending to his wounds, whereabouts and needs from a young age. For him, Ik-Soo was the first person who could be trusted. So harmless and so incapable was he that it was hard not to be protective of him. So, they lived together for years with Ik-Soo coming and going and Yoon waiting and tending to his needs when he returned. Even though he was the caretaker, Yoon depended on Ik-Soo as well, not just for comfort but simply to return. For once, it was nice not to be alone.

When Yona came, he grew defensive. He disliked her for her heritage and, more than that, feared having to leave the stability he had established. Growing up in a village forgotten by its government, Yoon lived a tumultuous life filled with starvation, poverty and desperation. He lived his life by the day, unsure if he would survive the next. The future was uncertain and circumstances were rough. He coped how he could: by not trusting others. Ik-Soo was the only exception and, at the time, he was determined to let no one else gain the same status. Based on how he viewed himself, it's likely he saw other people as a burden. Another mouth to feed, another body to protect when the situations they lived in were already hard enough. It felt risky and Yoon, both at that time and in the present, feels most comfortable when he's far away from risk.

It's clear that Yoon considers himself a coward. Whether or not he is one is a matter that grows with character development but even still, his own opinion never changes. He views himself as weak and dismisses his own efforts to change as not good enough. A genius at everything, Yoon is used to things coming naturally. He's used to being good at the first try and meeting something that he can't perfect naturally seems too big a feat to conquer. He's a defeatist, through and through.

Still, he tries. He wants to be different from the suspicious, paranoid survivor he once was and a large part of that was inspired by his relationship with Yona. Like him, she was weak and "useless", unable to do anything that might help the rest of the group. Still, she tried and improved, if gradually, to become a significant archer in her own right. Furthermore, she would never be satisfied to let everyone else do the hard labor. If someone else was fighting, she would too. Just in her own way. That strength inspired him. There was no difference between them, no reason why he couldn't follow in her footsteps. So he tried, in his own way. He helped out where he could, healing strangers he usually wouldn't have and slowly opening his heart to let more and more people in.

In the end, Yoon is best when he has people to take care of. Though he puts on a prickly, grumpy front, his heart is too large to stop caring for people. Whenever the group comes to a new village where people need help, Yoon is usually the first to rush to their sides. He helps the poor without charge or care, his priority being their health, not the payment. This changes when he comes across someone of wealth and his usual disdain slips in, still treating them but usually demanding a charge.

Soft-hearted as he is, it shouldn't be a surprise that Yoon is a surprisingly emotional guy. He's a sap and is pretty easy to tear up, crying when he's worried, happy, or sad. He's the type of guy that would cry in every Disney movie and then insist he hadn't when later asked about it.

Basically, Yoon tries to act tough, fails, and helps people anyway. He's a naturally wary person who's quicker to suspect than he is to trust but those he does let in earn his loyalty for good.

Abilities:

This boy is a Home Ec god. He cooks, he sews but most notably he has a wealth of medical knowledge (traditional medicine) that is disproportionate to his age. A quick learner, he's an avid reader of books and is pretty much a natural at picking up new techniques.

He also knows how to make bombs and is a skilled trapper. Like I said, he picks up random ass shit.

Alignment:
Piphron. The issue of trust is integral to Yoon's character. His first reaction upon meeting someone is to judge them with suspicion and he has a tendency to judge harshly on first impression. He's not used to letting people get close and the number of people he trusts is essentially limited to Ik-Soo, the Dragons (and Hak) and Yona.

Sample: Remember that the sample needs to show both 1) core character portrayal and 2) some use of emotions, either as an environmental effect or discussing why a character is not feeling anything at all if they are more apathetic or less emotional than most. We highly encourage using the Test Drive, and you can use prompts from the Test Drives, Intro Logs, and the Task board if you need them.
