“He was never one to talk about himself. His past. I don’t think he liked living in it. But it didn’t really matter once you knew him. You didn’t need it to see he knew exactly who he was and exactly where he wanted to be.”

Did someone say High School AUs? @whitherliliesbloom​‘s AUs are always so cute and I saw the High School AU idea and tbh I’m work for that slice of life stuff so WE OUT HERE. I have no idea where I’m gonna go with this but I thought it might be fun to at least brainstorm!! ;; everyone's concepts are so cute, I couldn’t resist ;; i might do something for Kinara but I need to attend to my two babs first

HCs below the cut to save your dash

Yura:

Much like in canon, in high school Yura seems a brash and detached problem student who is well meaning but aggressive.

Despite her small stature, Yura is known for her physical ability and striking glare which never seems to leave her face

Because of her mannerisms and appearance, she often struggles to make friends, though plays it off by saying she isn’t interested in socializing (through its evident she’s very lonely )

Despite her issues, Yura is a very smart young woman who simply refuses to apply herself.

She was actually a very dedicated student only s couple years beforehand, being considerate, approachable and hardworking before her fall from grace due to circumstances she doesn’t talk about

She retains her compassion and dedication even if she tries to hide it, and is actually very approachable when it comes down to it. The few people who get close to her can see this kindness and compassion easily.

She struggles to interact with others but is very defensive of those who come to her seeking whatever aid she can offer. She’s actually very amiable when approached.

She isn’t part of any clubs due to her a reputation and attitude, but shows an affinity to several sports, music and even gardening to the surprise of many

She actually makes okay grades but her developing reputation as a problem child leave many assuming the opposite, her teachers often harassing her to do better (especially her brother)

She’s not a delinquent per day but she isn’t exactly a model student either

She wants to be better at communicating with others but she struggles. Wants friends but can’t figure out how to talk to people anymore

Her adoptive brother keeps her grounded at home and at school

J’thel:

A History teacher at High School and Yura’s adoptive brother

Once a problem student himself, he took great care to clean up his act and is now respected for his kindly dementors, brotherly instinct and dedication to his students and work

He does everything in his power to keep his students not only educated, but comfortable and happy

He takes care of Yura since her father travels often

He doesn’t believe anyone is beyond help

Active in several extracurricular programs.

Probably a club advisor

He tends to get on Yura’s case about her attitude because he knows she can do better

And is always in school staffs case to give her a chance, aware people are ready to give up on her

Tbh Yura’s only real friend at the start of her school year. She often helps him after class

Gets made fun of a lot for wearing gloves and looking extra, but his hands get cold easily is his excuse. Yura thinks its because of his nostalgia.

Everyone’s best friend and everyone’s worst nightmare at the same time

He wants everyone to be their best self and believes no one is beyond help

Idiot who wears fake glasses to make himself seem less intimidating

non gifed versions too bc they might be hard to read oops

“Because of you, I will always have a friend”

[azulann]

“I’ve said it once I’ll say it again, this won’t work”

“Just shut up and smile please.”

[azulann]

“Grow through what you go through”

[azulann]

What is life if not a gamble?

I’ve seen so many cute sets like this for the Make it Rain campaign I wanted to try at something ;; Especially bc Yura’s actually got really good luck in the Saucer

Distraction

Prompt: Panglossian

Yura is ready to go. Just let her go please.

“This isn’t going to work.” Yura’s voice carried quietly a doubtful tone as she poked her had around the corner, her eyes scanning the area for any who might overhear her hushed whispers of cynicism.

“And you wonder why no one ever accused you of being panglossian,” J’thel poked Yura’s leg from his hunched position. The pair had been held up for quite a while behind Imperial walls, analyzing and investigating patrol routes as they waited for the perfect moment to strike. Memorizing his surroundings and everything contained within them, J’thel was determined to do this right. If this was to work, he needed to know what was what, what was where, and what was happening. Nothing would escape his careful gaze. That is, as long as Yura actually let him concentrate.

“They sent us here as a distraction. We aren’t distracting anything hiding behind rocks and between walls!” though she kept her voice low, Yura dramatic motions towards the open and enemies made a real show of her feelings on the present situation. When she agreed to distract Garlean patrols, she thought she might actually be doing something. “Why aren’t we distracting them?!”

With a light Huff, J’thel turned his attention to his impatient friend, a taunting look crossing his face as he challenged her candor. “My young apprentice, there is more than one way to cause a distraction. While true an upfront head beating is a very good way to draw attention, silent disruption can be just as effective with a far greater chance of avoiding unnecessary owies.” Yura’s face turned cross under his lecturing tone of voice, only further encouraging his taunts as he simplified his meaning. “Less of a danger if we take them out quietly.”

“I stand by what I said. This is not going to work.” Yura sent her arms heaving upward in a dramatic fashion to make up for her inability to speak up, though her patience was clearly wavering by this point, “I’m no good at these things, you know that! This is not where I flourish.“

An irritated knot formed in J’thel’s brow, gaze lingering on her for a moment before he turned his attentions from her, “Your voice is certainly proving your point on that end.”

Yura shook her head at his words, the simper on her face glaring at the back of his head. “Theres no shame in admitting failure and trying another path you know! We can call it even now and just… ambush them?”

“No! Then everyone will laugh at us…” J’thel’s own patience was beginning to waver, his own voice dangerously close to initiating contact with the realm outside their little corner.

Confusion entered Yura’s expression as she tilted her head at his words. “What? No they won’t?” She wasn’t even sure where that assumption had come from.

“They would too! I know it… they always do…” J’thel raised his voice, finally turning back to glare at Yura who proceeded to put her hands up defensively. She still wasn’t sure what the hell he was talking about, but man if he didn’t seem passionate about it.

“Oi, heard something over here.”  An unfamiliar voice nearby sent Yura rocketing to the ground, taking a place close next to J’thel as they attempted to conceal themselves.

“Nice one genius.” Yura sent a glaring look at J’thel, daggers practically springing from her eyes as she reached for her lance.

J’thel’s tone fell back into a whisper, clearly aware he had greatly messed up in his attempts to defend himself. Watching Yura’s motion, he grabbed her wrist, questioning her firmly “What are you doing?!”

“We tried this your way. My turn” Without missing a beat, Yura pulled herself from J’thel’s grasp, hoisting herself over the barriers they had made their hideout behind, full ready to engage after agonizing moments of waiting.

“You didn’t want this to work from the beginning!” J’thel’s voice echoed through the area, drawing eyes from all around as he shouted out. Unwilling to hoist all the blame for the situation, he called out one last time before joining his young friend in the fray, “Damnit all Yura!”
