🍟:Do you train, whether it be just working out or learning to control any abilities you have? Do you enjoy it? Is there something you do or enjoy doing afterwards?

meme. accepting.

Do you train, whether it be just working out or learning to control any abilities you have ?

Oh, Yukino definitely trains. And she trains hard. She had to get into Sabertooth after all. She pushes herself much too hard, draining herself each day, yet not giving herself enough time to recover. It was kind of a punishment for the disappoint that she thinks she is. She works out, like going for a run, muscle building, all that and attempting to expand her magic power. Some things she might do is summon one spirit, then another. Or attempt to summon another. And then keep their gates open, trying to hold it up as much as possible. Plus, her spirits egg her on, that’s helpful as well. Also, in the one episode, Capricorn is helping Lucy train before the Grand Magic Games, she does that too. The whole meditate and try to muster up as much magic power as she possibly can.

Of course, training with Ophiuchus is another story, his gate takes a lot to open, honestly. It took her two years to work up enough magic power to open his gate for more than an hour, and then attempt to train with him. By the time she got to Grand Magic Games, she was able to open two gates at a time, and later summon Ophiuchus without landing in the hospital. But she hasn’t reached her full potential, yet, in this point in the manga. I also headcanon that she got her first stardress, Ophiuchus’s, just after Lucy and Natsu came to visit, where Sting was big and all.

After the GMG arc, she kind of eased on herself, letting herself take that day break after conditioning. Maybe indulge in a simple walk in the park instead of intense running. Things like that. But she kept doing the same activities.

Do you enjoy it ?

Before the GMG arc there was no enjoying, there was no training because she wanted to be stronger. No, she absolutely had to be. Her very life depended on it, in her case. It was scary but before the GMG, Yukino had only one thing to live for and that was to please her parents. Sure they were dead, but their words were still alive in her mind. Insulting her over and over again. And if she couldn’t get into Sabertooth and be strong, then she really had nothing to live for. And she was very willing to end her life. After the GMG arc, she still wanted to get stronger, but for herself and not for her parents or others. She simply wanted to see how far she could get. And then, she started to enjoy herself. Going on morning jogs with Rogue, working out with Orga, sparring with Sting, expanding her magic power vessel with Minerva. And it was full of smiles and laughs, everyone was helpful to each other.

Is there something you do or enjoy doing afterwards ?

Before the GMG arc, she’d just take a quick shower, for the basic necessity of getting rid of odor. She’d eat dinner (she usually trained in the afternoon, and went on jogs in the early morning) and just go to sleep. Easy as that, she didn’t talk to anyone or go back to the guild before bed, nothing. Her life was pretty lonely before the GMG arc. Of course, Team Sabertooth did try to talk to her, but Yukino had no interest. She would love friends, but she didn’t think herself worthy of befriending such powerful mages even though she wasn’t much far from them considering she’s in the top ten strongest.

After the GMG arc, she’d run home, take a quick shower and run back to the guild where she either started making dinner or help Rogue and/or Minerva with dinner. They were family, eating at the bar together much after everyone had retired for the night. She’d then go home happy and warm, sometimes they even had sleepovers and each other’s houses. Basically everything changed for the better after the GMG arc.
