Considering reviving this blog when I get some more free time at the start of next month...

“Two of the earliest lessons you learn as a gang leader in Tokyo if you want to survive - how to size up potential opponents, and to not pick fights you can’t win. I didn’t get to where I was by blindly fighting everyone I came across.”

“To his credit, he had been training out in the wilderness for a long while beforehand, and apparently had fought bears. It was understandable that he might assume he could at the very least absorb a very strong punch. He simply underestimated the degree to which I was holding back.” Of course, this was also how she convinced him to return to his college education.

“I still feel like there’s a notable difference between bears and androids literally made to fight Shadows en masse... I could probably survive getting hit by a car without any serious injury and still not think I had the durability to take a hit from you at full tilt.” Of course, it’s clear that while Akihiko had underestimated Aigis’s full power, Yui might possibly be overestimating it... Or maybe she’s right on the money. Frankly, she feels it’s safer to high-ball the strength limits of the blonde with literal rocket jets in her heels and assume she has upper arm horsepower somewhere in the tens of thousands.

“Regardless, I don’t feel like making the same mistake and finding out for myself. I’m confident in my ability to fight Shadows and even professionally-trained fighters, not a girl that I presume has the power of a freight train at her disposal.”

[minamctc]

“...You know, I may have been able to take on Akihiko-san with only one arm, but somehow... I doubt I could spar with Aigis or Labrys without my Personas and come out of it without any broken bones. Even if I had both arms.”

Persona 4 - A Corner of Memories

“Yo. ‘Sup, Rise?” Yui looked up as she was scrubbing the inside of a pot, a pile of dirty pans, pots, plates, and utensils to her left on the counter of the Cuisine Club’s clubroom. It was her turn to clean up afterwards, and normally she had help, but a number of the other members had obligations and had to bail early, leaving Yui to clean up after the club’s efforts for the day on her lonesome.

“Sorry; if you’re looking to hang out, I might be a bit, gotta handle this for the club. Otherwise, I can chat and scrub at the same time, if that’s all you need, s’no big deal.” After all, she was quite used to it. Rinsing out the pot, Yui set it in the other basin of the sink for drying before moving onto a pan, next. As an experienced cook, her hands practically moved on their own when it came to cleaning the tools of the trade, so to speak.

“Really beginning to wonder if this is how I’m going to spend the rest of my life. Fighting Shadows... or demons... or whatever. This is, like, the fourth incident I’ve dealt with like this in the span of, like, a year and a half.” The worst part is, Yui wasn’t even exaggerating. First the murders in Inaba, then the P-1 Grand Prix, and then the incident at the Festival of Bonds... It really felt like she was a magnet for Shadow-related trouble, at this rate. Was she going to have to move out of the country and live somewhere secluded, or something...?

“But yeah, before you ask, I’ve got this area secured. There was more than I was expecting, but they were mostly small-fry. I think I’m getting the hang of fighting Shadows without a team backing me up, now.”

Anonymous said: poses tell us about Yui's family mun. give us the dank lore about her relationships and such

Well, when it comes to Yui’s direct family, the main branch of the Minamoto clan is pretty small, consisting of just Yui, her parents Soujirou and Asuka, and her grandparents. Yui barely knows her grandparents beyond the formal meetings she’s had with them as a child, as they live in Kyoto and are pretty much retired, so even if asked, she wouldn’t be able to tell you much of anything about them beyond “they’re old, rich, and super traditional”.

When it comes to Yui’s parents, though, her relationship with them has been a very tumultuous series of ups and downs until post-Persona 4 - albeit mostly downs. As Soujirou and Asuka are both the President (or “shachou”) and a high-ranking executive of the Minamoto Group respectively, they’re both very busy with business, to the point where after a certain point, they were gradually more and more absent from their daughter’s life, leaving her in the care of various babysitters and hired staff. It’s this rocky relationship with her parents that made Yui very sensitive on the topic of neglectful adults, and why she’ll often drop everything to help her friends unless she legitimately can’t do so or is already in the middle of doing so for someone else.

That being said, it’s not like her parents don’t love her. On the contrary, Soujirou and Asuka have pulled a lot of strings to make sure Yui’s had every chance to turn her life around, partially because the only daughter of the main branch of the Minamoto Group ending up in Juvenile Hall for various crimes would look very bad, but also partially because they just wanted her to eventually fix her shit and get back on track.

Soujirou in particular was the one who had the idea of their hands-off parenting style, as his parents had done much the same thing. What he failed to account for was that he had a couple of siblings, and all of them grew rather close as a result - Yui, on the other hand, is an only child, and had nobody else to turn to besides detached hired hands who certainly didn’t intend on becoming surrogate parents. Asuka, meanwhile, did her best to keep in contact with Yui as much as she could, but considering she was often overseas much like her husband, timezones made it quite difficult for her to reliably speak with her daughter even over the phone.

As a result, for much of her life, Yui was actually quite resentful of her parents, which is what led to her delinquency growing up. Even when she decided to turn her life around, she didn’t do so to please them, and in fact had no desire to take over the Minamoto Group or even associate with the clan, any longer. It was only the people she met in Inaba who changed her as much as she changed them that helped her decide to make the effort to mend things with her parents, her family, and decide to take over the company after all. After the events of Persona 4, she’s working on mending things between the three of them, and by the events of Persona 5, she’s back on good terms with them once again.

As for her extended family, that’s something I’d have to discuss with @mazeofmuses​, because I hadn’t even considered a branch family of the Minamoto Clan until she made a muse with the same surname, I made the joke of “lmao what if Maki and Yui were related, like cousins or smth”, and it became reality. So the branch family is as much May’s as it is mine, at this point.

“...Maki, right? S’been a while.” Admittedly, Yui hadn’t been expecting the Minamoto’s branch family to show up to visit her after she got out of the hospital from the amputation of her left arm. It was all the usual platitudes, well wishes and all that, but it was surprisingly nice of them, considering her reputation in the Minamoto Group can’t have been that great. Though, considering she was on better terms with her parents, now, they must’ve decided to make the effort to start rebuilding bridges, as well.

“Haven’t seen you in a few years. Not since middle school, right?” Definitely not since she started on the path to delinquency, at least. Yui’s cousin was definitely a much different person, both in demeanor and... stature. Still, it wasn’t like Yui was jealous - far from it, that seemed like too much of a pain to deal with. “Your folks drag you along? Hope it didn’t cut into your studies or anything.”
