HISTORY.
Raised by a neglectful father incapable of showing her the affection she craved, Yoru ran from home as a teen and fell into the hands of a pimp named Peter. Too young to know better, his promise that he loved her and would take care of her filled her head and her heart with enough warmth to ignore the abuse. After years of struggling and several near death experiences she finally escapes him and makes her way to Tokyo to begin her new life tattooing. Sam sets her up with a job and a place to live and she begins to learn what being free means, even if relationships are especially difficult when you're not being paid to have them.
RELATIONSHIPS.
— Floyd Leech
She knew he was dangerous, but couldn't help to fall. They met by accident when she was in need of a coffee, his shop happening to be just up the street from Sam's place. He made it wrong that first time, but it was still the best coffee she could find anywhere else and found herself going back more often than not. He shamelessly hit on her so often she'd take her coffee and go, never staying long enough to chat. He started getting tattooed as a way where they could talk without her running away from him. His plan worked and she found that when he wasn't harassing her they got along quite well. Too well. Well enough that it was going to be a big problem down the road, one that she wouldn't be able to walk away from.
— Sam
Was looking for another tattoo artist in his shop and heard about Yoru's situation from a friend of a friend of a friend and pulled some strings. He pulled her out of the shadows and taught her how to improve her tattooing and how to live freely. He offers his home for her to stay until she can get on her feet, and helps her get settled when she's able to buy her own place. He keeps her grounded and upright whenever she's in danger of falling back to hell.
— Mason Hatterson
One of the first people she met when she landed in Tokyo, and the first that outright said he would be her friend. She values his chaotic energy, even if he keeps selling Floyd expensive plants that she ends up having to throw out. He's one of the few people she would trust to not maliciously mislead her and knows that he has her best interests in mind.
