Character Name: Yasuho Hirose
Canon: JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Jojolion (part 8)
Canon History: CW Note: Be advised that while not in graphic detail, Yasuho's canon history involves her becoming a victim of attempted suicide, multiple accounts of assault, and at least one near rape. Please exercise caution while reading her history for this reason, as the site itself does not give these warnings, only censoring any relevant images if provided.

Yasuho's canon history is here.
Canon Personality:

Very well-adjusted, and calm, compared to the cast; arguably used as the part's 'Straight Man' in the sense of having 'relatable' responses to anything from an awkward social interaction to absolute catastrophe.

Does her best to keep a level head for herself. Generally reacts to things quietly rather than loudly; too much pressure changes that, and can even bring her to tears, but dedication to a cause and person keeps her focused.

Being brought to tears is normally a 'last straw on the camel's back' type of deal, ending in absolute sobbing- but she's also cried in relief before as well. Stress crying is just, a thing she does.

An empathetic person, capable of reading a person's character with relative ease. When material evidence conflicts this, she tends to default (after some internal conflict) to her initial gut sense.

To that end, very trusting of those she's familiar with/'judged' as 'good'- she questions the actions and requests of such people significantly less than others.

Good investigation instinct; she's naturally skilled when it comes to tracking down information and clues toward a goal or problem, and the sense of when to utilize deceit to avoid being found out.

She's also intelligent in general- Yasuho's the problem solver for just about every fight she's part of in Part 8, which often requires understanding outside that investigative field.

Yasuho doesn't give the impression of someone with a determination streak, but she's got one; once she sets her eyes on a matter, she pursues it hard and many times to her detriment.

Connected to that, if you are clearly doing harm to someone she has decided she cares for, she will Not Hestiate to bean you with a pole, actually. (Nor will she hesitate to threaten worse.)

Her first instinct in an awkward scenario is to draw back- but if she's stuck in a group of people doing harmless but strange things in the name of camadrie, she's likely to laugh nervously and join in herself. When in??? Rome???

AU Name: N/A
AU Birthday: October 28

AU History:

Yasuho was born and raised in Kaisou, to a then married Japanese-American mother and a similarly American father. While she took after her mother for the most part, her eyes and hair came from her father; Blonde, with blue eyes. When she was young, her father divorced however- Yasuho stayed with her mother, seeing him only on weekends from then on.

From here, her mother did what she could to raise her- unfortunately she continued with the carefree approach that had driven her husband to divorce, and began to add alcohol into the mix. This attitude caused tension to build between herself and Yasuho, as Yasuho began to distance herself from her and idealize her father instead.

For the next few years, Yasuho's personal stress began to build; she felt ostracized by her friends and classmates, and as many young pre-teens do, felt there was very few in the world that understood her.

It was around this time that she came in contact with a potentially cursed object; 'Potentially' is the key word- from Yasuho's perspective, she purchased for herself a beautiful (but cheap) hair clip. Around that time, 'everything' started going wrong; her fights with her mother got worse, her father admitted that he would be unable to take custody of her on the weekends as he was moving away from the area, and in her stress she forgot about a friend's birthday...leading her class to harass her for her carelessness. To Yasuho, it was coincidence, and a bad time.

CW: Suicide Attempt

Between everything pressuring her, and the perception that she was alone in it, Yasuho ultimately attempted to take her life in her washroom when she was 13; her mother would find her there after coming home early from work, and call a hospital in time.

While in the hospital, the attending Doctor would give Yasuho advice and encouragement- (It would also come out that in the rush to bring her in, the hairclip she'd been wearing had fallen and been crushed underfoot, though Yasuho would ultimately keep the pieces)- inspired by her words, Yasuho would find herself leaving the hospital feeling like a weight was removed. She was never as close to her mother as she had been her father, and the friendships she thought she had in middleschool were ones she ultimately moved on from- but Yasuho found herself entering high school able to look forward to the future rather than dwelling on it.

From there until currently, Yasuho determined she wanted to be able to help others the way the doctor had helped her, by going into counselling; while the doctor had certainly helped physically, it was on the emotional and mental level that she'd been helped most.

So for now- Yasuho Hirose is 19 years old, attending University in Kaisou for Sociology. She lives at home with her mother, who she loves dearly but still has something of a rocky relationship with. And now there's a weird app on her phone. uh,

AU Personality Differences:

She seems to have a healthier understanding of when a gut feeling might be off. No more 'what do you mean my ex-boyfriend wants you dead' here, folks.

Since she hasn't had that grand adventure of a lifetime, she's significantly less traumatized! Unfortunately (?), this also means she's more likely to break down over the piled stress of exams, family problems, etc etc, and then just. Straight up drive herself into an exhausted state of resignation over anything far worse. ...Not too unlike early canon in that regard.

Fortunately (??) that also means she's a smidge louder than canon when it comes to 'hey? This??? This is WEIRD???'

Lacking the direction of her canon self means she can be a bit of a rumor hound at times. It's not so bad that she's in everyone's business, but if something Strange crops up she's likely to start digging after it.
