👊Yumeko Takenaka⚔️
Yumeko was born in a warm Kugane night, as a fussy and screaming kitten. She then grew (being known as a rambunctious child) eventually becoming the oldest of three other sisters. Yumi was always known as a hard head, always picking fights and always wanting to come out on top. When Yumeko's mother got sick and could not work, she stepped up to help keep her family fed. As Yumeko looked around, she did not find suitable work for herself in Kugane. But heard from port workers that ‘Ul’dah is a place of opportunity' so she hugged her family and took off to find work and send back gil.
Ul'dah was nothing as the Hingan native ( who barely spoke common) thought it would be but Yumi's head strong personality persisted on finding a good job. That's where she ended in the Gladiator arena, the constant fighting and winner titles/gil rewards is exactly what the thick headed Miqo wanted. There, for years she began to fight and fight. Winning titles and gil rewards she would send home for her family to live comfortably. Taking on the title, "The Teeth Smasher' as she collects a tooth from all her losing opponents.
As years had passed, Yumi has began to grow tired. Tired of the constant threat of death and smell of blood and sweat, the wish of retirement is beginning to dawn on the Seeker but.. she is afraid that if she gives up her fighting title her family will not have a source of income. Therefore, she continues to fight…much to her dismay…
